¡°The only worry is, we don¡¯t know the strength of the Cultivators in this area. But considering the Tianmen Cult and the Incense Fire Dao are currently engaged in conflict, there probably won¡¯t be anyone particrly powerful here. Otherwise, it would be quite the waste.¡±
Shen Fu agreed with a nod.
Having confirmed their n and route, the two immediately set off towards Yutang Mountain.
This time, they did their best to conceal their presence to avoid alerting the people of the Incense Fire Dao and revealing their intentions.
Nevertheless, there were a few asions where they had almost been discovered.
Luckily, they had good fortune, and ultimately managed to arrive at Yutang Mountain unnoticed.
However, upon looking around, they didn¡¯t find any Thousand God Trees. Instead, they saw overgrown weeds scattered around the mountain gap ¨C it waspletely ordinary.
The only exception was the intricately scattered hot springs gushing forth.
Other than that, it was no different from any other barren mountain.
¡°It¡¯s a formation!¡±
Shen Fu said, his eyes sparkled.
Wang Ba was not surprised.
Yutang Mountain was very close to the Tianmen Cult, and considering it was growing Thousand God Trees, it was only natural for them to exercise caution and set up a formation.
¡°Can you break it?¡±
With a serious expression on his face, Shen Fu silently asked the monstrous voice in his heart.
Soon, Shen Fu nodded, ¡°Brother, I will need your help to break the formation!¡±
With that, he took out a number of nails and quickly set them up.
Before long, at Shen Fu¡¯smand,
Wang Ba infused all of his Mana into the nails that had been hammered into the ground.
¡°Rise!¡±
As soon as his words fell, each of the nailed locations suddenly revealed array gs!
Quickly, the Formation disappeared!
On the originally barren grasnd of the mountain gap, one could now see uncolored water globules held by the lush green leaves of the straight trees.
¡°This is Divine Dew!¡±
¡°The Thousand God Tree!¡±
At the side, a disheveled Cultivator wearing red clothes looked up at Wang Ba with a baffled expression.
He seemed a bit slow to react.
Whereas the barefoot female Cultivator under him, couldn¡¯t help but scream¡
At the same time,
Outside Zhongyuan City.
In the camp, Zheng Yuanhua, who was dealing with affairs, suddenly changed his expression!
¡°Not good! There¡¯s an issue with the Thousand God Tree!¡±
Chapter 287 - 64 Transforming Species (5000 updates)_1
Chapter 287: Chapter 64 Transforming Species (5000 updates)_1
The Thousand God Tree is a crucial supplement and channel for improving the Soul Power of ss I and II Cultivators.
Especially with the downfall of the Yin God, it is one of the few ways for the disciples of the Yin God lineage to effectively increase their strength.
After Zheng Yuanhua came here from the Kingdom of Immortals, the first thing he did was to find a suitable location and nt the tree.
Heter put forth his best efforts, relying on the resources of the Yin God lineage, to barely set up a ss III Concealment Array.
Regardless of ss I or II Cultivators, even ss III Cultivators would unlikely detect any issues with it unless they were experts in formations.
But just now, Zheng Yuanhua suddenly perceived that the formation he hadid out was broken!
¡°Who is it?¡±
¡°Where is this ss III Cultivator from?¡±
¡°Is it from Tianmen Cult? Or those people from the five sects?¡±
¡°How did they discover it there?¡±
These thoughts quickly went through Zheng Yuanhua¡¯s mind.
Although people from the five sects had secretly protected them before, Zheng Yuanhua clearly understood their true intentions.
It was nothing more than a case of using one enemy to devour another.
Once the Tianmen Cult was gone, these people would probably turn their backs instantly.
However, the Golden Core master of Tianmen Cult has not shown up, so it is not ruled out that the person who made the move could be from the Tianmen Cult.
As for Rogue Cultivators or others, the possibility is there, but not likely.
Upon reaching this thought, Zheng Yuanhua immediately rushed to the tent where the six ss III Divine Envoys were.
However, upon entering and beginning his report, he was immediately scolded by the ss III Divine Envoys.
¡°Why hasn¡¯t the ¡®divine tool¡¯ been sent over yet?!¡±
¡°Did you send someone or not?!¡±
¡°The Blood Bone Saint Venerable held by Lu Yuansheng is no worse than a regr Immortal Master of Nascent Soul, do you know how much pressure we¡¯ve withstood these three days!?¡±
Zheng Yuanhua lowered his head, feeling wronged in his heart.
How would I know why it hasn¡¯t been sent over yet.
I¡¯ve already sent two groups of people to notify them.
Moreover, if you can¡¯t beat that Lu Yuansheng, why take out your anger on me?
But he dared not voice these thoughts. If he did, it¡¯s possible that these ss III Divine Envoys might even change their leader on the spot.
¡°Enough!¡±
At this moment, the Divine Envoy with the surname Gong interrupted the others with a shout.
Then, he looked at Zheng Yuanhua with a serious expression, saying:
¡°Don¡¯t me them for being anxious. We miscalcted this time. We originally nned to kill Lu Yuansheng once the divine tool arrived, but we did not expect him to press us step by step over the course of these three days. His various means are not any different from that of an Immortal Master of Nascent Soul.¡±
¡°If the divine tool doesn¡¯t arrive soon, I¡¯m afraid¡.¡±
¡°Junior understands, I¡¯ll personally go to greet the divine tool!¡±
Zheng Yuanhua quickly responded.
The Divine Envoy Gong nodded slightly: ¡°That would be hard on you. It¡¯s a pity Canghai is dead. Otherwise, the two of you could coordinate and things might have been more stable.¡±
¡°As for the Thousand God Trees¡.¡±
The Divine Envoy Gong deliberated for a moment, then finally said:
¡°If we¡¯ve lost them, we¡¯ve lost them. While it is somewhat regrettable, as long as we can sessfully take down Ning Daohuan, retrieve the True Sutra, and resuscitate the Yin God, these Thousand God Trees don¡¯t warrant much concern.¡±
Zheng Yuanhua hesitated, then said:
¡°Divine Envoy Gong, why didn¡¯t the divine temple send the Elders personally? If even one Elder were here, they would be able to sweep this area, and the True Sutra would be ours for the taking.¡±
¡°Humph! What does a junior like you know! Daring to spout nonsense about the divine temple, about the Elders!¡±
One of the ss III Divine Envoys scoffed.
But he met with Divine Envoy Gong¡¯s cold gaze.
The ss III Divine Envy was silenced, he muttered something, but said no more.
Divine Envoy Gong then turned his head, and said to Zheng Yuanhua kindly: ¡°I understand your confusion. Technically, considering your stage, you shouldn¡¯t be told this, but considering your aplishments, knowing some things won¡¯t hurt.¡±
Then he sighed: ¡°You also know about the situation of our Yin God lineage. Currently, the Kingdom of Immortals has been acting frequently with foreign forces. Apart from the great elder sitting in the divine temple to prevent it from being seized by people from other divine temples, the rest of the Elders have already been assigned to the frontlines.¡±
¡°So it¡¯s not that the Elders don¡¯t want toe, but that they simply can¡¯t. Even for us, it was extremely difficult toe.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t be resentful in your heart, just do your best. Once this difficulty is passed, everything will be smooth sailing. With your aplishments and qualifications, bing a ss III Divine Envoy, or even reaching ss IV, sitting in the position of an Elder, it¡¯s not impossible.¡±
¡°Yuanhua understands.¡±
Zheng Yuanhua respectfully bowed and then left the tent.
After giving a few simple orders, he rode a top-grade ss II Flying Magic Tool, and hurriedly flew to the south.
Although he knew that Divine Envoy Gong was just offering him a pie in the sky, the Cultivators from the Yin God lineage, the ss I Cultivators are still fine, they still have room to change their minds and defect to others. As for ss II Cultivators, they simply can¡¯t turn back.
They could only keep moving forward down this path.
¡
A muffled grunt.
The Cultivator in ochre robes and the naked female Cultivator instantly turned into ashes.
Wang Ba looked at the thirty-two Thousand God Trees before him with astonishment.
Just now he learned some useful information from the Cultivator in ochre robes, who was in charge of guarding the Thousand God Trees.
For instance, this ce is protected by a ss III formation, so usually, just a few Cultivators are enough to guard it. Now, with the pressing battles in Zhongyuan City, the few Cultivators left here were reduced to just the Cultivator in ochre robes and another female Cultivator.
Being idle led them to think, and their lust red up, leading to the scene Wang Ba had seen earlier.
Of course, what delighted Wang Ba the most was that he managed to find a Manual of Spring Wind into Seeds from the Cultivator in ochre robes.
Chapter 288 - 64: Transformation (5000 updated)_2
Chapter 288: Chapter 64: Transformation (5000 updated)_2
It could revert the Spirit nts back to the seed state, thereby preserving them for a long time. Once a suitable location is found, they can be rented.
In not too long, the Spirit nts will revert to their original state.
This manual was specifically used for nting the Thousand God Tree. After all, with the Kingdom of Immortals¡¯ many years of expansion, the Thousand God Tree can also be moved along.
Otherwise, if they were to wait for the Thousand God Tree to mature and form the Divine Dew, it would require too much time.
If the Divine Dew were not harvested in time and fell onto the ground, absorbing the earthly Qi, it would lose its effectiveness as well.
Quickly mastering this magical seal through the Lifespan Panel, Wang Ba immediately harvested the mature Divine Dew from the Thousand God Tree.
This is also the peculiar part about the Divine Dew, it has no effect before it matures, and can only be used to benefit the soul after maturity.
After that, Wang Ba started to implement the Manual of Spring Wind into Seeds, refining all the thirty-two Thousand God Trees into seeds that were the size of fingertips.
cing them into the Storage Bag, Wang Ba and Shen Fu immediately retreated without hesitation.
However, they didn¡¯t fly too far away, instead hiding in the dark to observe the situation.
Not too long after, as expected, an Incense-burning Dao Cultivator arrived.
However, what surprised Wang Ba was that from the direction of Yushui City and Mengxing Vi, there were only four or five cultivators each.
Their movements were swift and decisive.
Wang Ba didn¡¯t even have time to take them down. Those people investigated the situation and then retreated quickly.
¡°This is troublesome.¡±
Wang Ba couldn¡¯t help frowning.
The Incense-burning Dao Cultivators from these two bases were very cautious.
The number of people deployed wasn¡¯t high.
That made the n of Wang Ba, to lure the enemies away,pletely fall through.
¡°Senior Brother, I think we should wait a bit. There are currently tense battles in this area. If we barge in rashly, we won¡¯t know the exact situation¡¡±
Shen Fu suddenly said.
Wang Ba, upon hearing Shen Fu¡¯s words, contemted for a moment and found that Shen Fu indeed spoke sense.
He didn¡¯t know what the situation outside the East Saint outpost was. If it was surrounded by Incense-burning Dao Cultivators, and he charged in headlong, it would be like seeking his own death.
Before, he was primarily focused on getting back earlier so he could have an excuse to take Bu Chan and Shen Fu through the teleportation array to the Jiantao Station to avoid the trouble. He hadn¡¯t thought of this before.
Thinking about this, although Wang Ba was somewhat worried about Bu Chan, he still suppressed his emotions and quickly discussed with Shen Fu.
Soon, the two found a fairly deste ce where Shen Fu set up a ss II Formation to hide themselves.
However, shortly after the Formation waspleted,
In the distance, an astonishing wave of Mana and Soul Power collision suddenly emerged!
This wave was so intense that Wang Ba couldn¡¯t help being shocked.
¡°Who is fighting?!¡±
¡°What astounding Mana!¡±
Wang Ba looked in the direction of the Mana fluctuation but could see nothing.
He knew that it was because the location where the battle was breaking out was too far from him.
¡°But that direction¡ Could it be Zhongyuan City?¡±
Meanwhile,
Atop Yuhuang Peak,
All the cultivators here were of the Golden Core Realm. Given the height of Yuhuang Peak and the eyesight of these Golden Core cultivators, it was easy for them to observe the nearby situation in Zhongyuan City.
They could clearly see the ensuing battle near Zhongyuan City.
However, at this moment, everyone on the peak was silent.
After a long time, Ci Ren Pengcuo of Dari School let out a sigh with mixed feelings:
¡°This Lu Yuansheng¡ This Lu Yuansheng!¡±
Zhong Bu, the number one Sword Cultivator of Chen State, also withdrew his gaze with a serious look. He pondered for a while and finally shook his head:
¡°I am no match for him. At the Golden Core stage within Chen State, probably only Master Pang could battle him, regardless of the oue.¡±
Although his words were blunt, even offensive, Master Xiong of Mountain Sea Sect also agreed:
¡°Master Pang would most likely not match him either. The ¡®Blood Bone Saint Venerable¡¯ in Lu Yuansheng¡¯s hands has the same power as an Immortal Master of Nascent Soul. Even though Lu Yuansheng¡¯s Mana is not strong enough for long battles, if we had fewer people, we probably couldn¡¯tst until his Mana ran out.¡±
In the end, Master Xiong sighed:
¡°This person can be rated as an Immortal Master of Nascent Soul!¡±
¡°Ji, is it true that Lu Yuansheng has only been cultivating for a hundred years?¡±
Ji Lan, when asked, maintained an unchanged expression, as if Lu Yuansheng was not a disciple of East Saint Sect.
He subtly nced at Ye Lingyu next to him, then nodded slightly and said:
¡°To be exact, it should be less than ny years.¡±
¡°A Heaven-blessed genius indeed! But it¡¯s a pity¡¡±
The Master from the Jiuling Sect sighed: ¡°In this case, we must remove him as soon as possible!¡±
¡°He¡¯s probably bait!¡±
Ji Lan said with a serious expression: ¡°Without knowing where Ning Daohuan is and the whereabouts of those twenty Golden Core cultivators, if we act rashly, not only we will startle the snake in the grass, but also likely to fall into his trap.¡±
Ci Ren Pengcuo disagreed this time: ¡°But Ji, the Incense Fire Dao probably won¡¯t be able to hold back the Tianmen Cult for long. If we don¡¯t seize this opportunity to get rid of Lu Yuansheng, when Ning Daohuan joins him, with those twenty Golden Core cultivators, even if the five sects join hands, we could only end up with a mutually hurting result.¡±
¡°On the contrary, if we break one of his fingers, we could weaken his strength, and then slowly nibble away at him. umting small wins to attain a big victory.¡±
¡°When he can¡¯t fight back, we strike with thunderbolt means and sweep him away in one swoop.¡±
¡°In this way, we¡¯ll show our dominance, that is the way of righteousness.¡±
Chapter 289: 64: Transformation of Species (5000th Update)_3
Chapter 289: Chapter 64: Transformation of Species (5000th Update)_3
¡°Excellent!¡±
¡°Excellent!¡±
Many quickly agreed with Ci Ren Pengcuo¡¯s idea.
The Sect Master of the Jiuling Sect proposed another idea:
¡°There¡¯s no need to take unneeded risks. I have a n. We can throw our weight behind the Incense Fire Dao in secret to kill Lu Yuansheng. Once Lu Yuansheng is gone and the situation destabilizes, the eyes of Incense Fire Dao will turn menacing. At that point, the Tianmen Cult will not remain idle. We can then take a look at their true intentions, and continue to use Incense Fire Dao to bleed them out¡¡±
¡°Excellent! This n is feasible!¡±
Ci Ren Pengcuo was the first to agree.
¡°Although it requires some effort, it¡¯s not bad.¡±
Zhong Bu of the Chihe Sword Sect also nodded.
Ji Lan of the East Saint Sect frowned after considering it for a while, but feeling that there was probably no better n at the moment, she agreed as well.
The Sect Master Xiong of the Mountain Sea Sect, however, raised a rare question:
¡°But how shall we assist the Incense Fire Dao and kill Lu Yuansheng?¡±
Many frowned at this.
This was indeed a problem. Killing a cultivator on par with the Nascent Soul Immortal Master without direct intervention was an excruciatingly difficult task.
¡°There is no need to worry. Our n is to keep the people of the Incense Fire Dao standing for some more time, exhaust Lu Yuansheng¡¯s mana, and without the Blood Bone Saint Venerable, he is nothing but an initial stage Golden Corepetitor.¡±
Someone suggested.
Many nodded in response.
And thus, the problem was easily solved.
¡°We must move swiftly to support the people of Incense Fire Dao. Else, these six Golden Corepetitors might secretly recover from their injuries. Next time, they might end up being a real threat.¡±
Ci Ren Pengcuo stated.
At this moment, Ji Lan suddenly sensed some movement in her storage ring.
She quickly raised her hand in a polite gesture and apologized, ¡°Gentlemen, if you would excuse me for a while. I need to attend to something.¡±
¡°You may leave, Martial Uncle Ji.¡±
Without further ado, Ji Lan flew off from Yuhuang Peak.
With the speed of a Golden Core cultivator, she soonnded on an old mountain not far from Zhongyuan City.
The forest was dense in the mountain.
Ji Lan swept her spiritual sense around but found nothing.
Without any surprise, she took out an array te from her storage ring.
She ced the Array te on the ground. Soon the Array te emitted an invisible halo that spread quickly in all directions.
It even faintly spread to downtown Zhongyuan City.
At this moment.
In a secret room of a building in Zhongyuan City.
A cultivator hidden in a ck robe stood up as if sensing something, quickly took out a simr array te.
In an instant, the cultivator disappeared, and the array te was left on the ground.
In the meantime.
In the old mountain, a figure covered in a ck robe suddenly appeared in front of Ji Lan.
The figure in the ck robe paid respects immediately after seeing Ji Lan:
¡°Disciple pays respects to the Sect Master!¡±
¡°No need to be formal. You have worked hard.¡±
Ji Lan quickly stopped the man from bowing, not bringing up any matter but expressing concern on her face:
¡°Have you been doing well recently?¡±
¡°Master, they do not suspect me¡¡±
Ji Lan shakes her head: ¡°I was asking about you. Are you doing well?¡±
Upon hearing these words, the figure in the ck robe froze. Soon, a note of deep emotion tinged his voice:
¡°Thank you for your concern, Sect Master. The disciple is doing well.¡±
He couldn¡¯t wait to continue, ¡°Let me get to the point quickly given the urgency of time.¡±
Ji Lan nodded, not saying anything else.
The figure in the ck robe continued:
¡°I discovered earlier that Ning Daohuan and the other Elders have all rushed to the Golden Rainbow camp. It is said that the Golden Rainbow camp also suffered attacks from the Incense Fire Dao, far worse than what happened in Chen State. Half of Jiang State, the home of the Golden Rainbow camp, has apparently been upied¡¡±
¡°Jiang State?¡±
Ji Lan couldn¡¯t help but ask.
The figure in the ck robe responded: ¡°I have been there before. It is a small country located in the southeastern part of the Chu Dynasty. Not very famous.¡±
Upon hearing this, Ji Lan understood. Then she questioned further: ¡°Now that Ning Daohuan and the other Golden Core Elders have gone to Jiang State, does that mean that the Tianmen Cult¡¯s stronghold in Chen State is now empty?¡±
¡°It appears so. The faction led by Lu Yuanshengprises the most elite cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage in the entire Tianmen Cult now.¡±
This was stated by the figure in the ck robe.
After hearing the details, Ji Lan contemted for a moment and suddenly realized something: ¡°So ording to this, by putting up a deliberate front of attacking the Incense Fire Dao, even mobilizing elite disciples, and hinting at a decisive crackdown on the Incense Fire Dao, Lu Yuansheng wanted to mislead us into thinking that they had hidden motives. This was to prevent us from acting recklessly and to buy themselves sufficient time¡ It¡¯s an empty city strategy!¡±
¡°That¡¯s definitely the work of Ning Daohuan!¡±
¡°But ¡ this also presents us with a great opportunity!¡±
¡°Retake our stronghold! Take back Fanming¡¯s primordial spirit!¡±
¡°At the same time, seize the opportunity to cut off the Teleportation Array and prevent Ning Daohuan and others from returning to Chen State!¡±
The figure in the ck robe couldn¡¯t help but be enthused by this idea.
However, he quickly regained his calm and said solemnly:
¡°The information that I have is just hearsay. Although I did not see Ning Daohuan and the Golden Core Elders in our camp, it can¡¯t be guaranteed that there isn¡¯t a trap. Sect Master, I advise caution.¡±
¡°No problem.¡±
Ji Lan was excited and said happily:
¡°If we¡¯re able to recover our camp this time, you will be an exceptional contributor. I will definitely use all means to cultivate you to the Golden Core stage!¡±
The figure in the ck robe shook his head: ¡°Thank you, Sect Master. But my qualifications are limited and I don¡¯t dare harbor such hopes. I only hope that the Sect will continue to prosper and that my descendants can make a contribution to the Sect in the future.¡±
Ji Lan paused for a moment, then became solemn and promised sincerely:
¡°Rest assured. As long as the East Saint Sect exists, we will never let down you or your descendants!¡±
She then said: ¡°You should get back quickly to avoid any inconsistencies in case someonees looking for you.¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
The figure in the ck robe nodded.
Soon, the figure disappeared.
At that moment, Ji Lan secretly took out a talisman from her sleeve.
Seeing that there were no burn marks on it, she nodded lightly:
¡°Fortunately, it wasn¡¯t seized and his senses seem normal.¡±
She waited for a while at the original spot, and the invisible halo returned from afar and went back into the array te.
Only then did Ji Lan tidy up the array te and quickly flew back to Yuhuang Peak.
Meanwhile.
In a secret room of a building in Zhongyuan City.
A figure in a ck robe suddenly appeared on the array te that had been left on the ground.
As soon as the figure appeared, he quickly scanned his surroundings to make sure no one hade in. He sighed in relief.
Then he carefully took off the ck robe and burned itpletely.
His real face was also revealed.
A middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance.
If Wang Ba saw him, he might recognize the man¡¯s identity.
It was none other than Cheng Shu ©¤©¤ the Foundation Establishment Competitor from the Beasts Room who won Lu Yuansheng¡¯s trust by cultivating Spirit Chickens.
Chapter 290: 65 Crossing Tribulation_1
Chapter 290: Chapter 65 Crossing Tribtion_1
¡°Martial Uncle Ji, are you certain Ning Daohuan has truly left?¡±
Outside the East Saint¡¯s station, a group of Golden Core cultivators appeared silently above the station out of nowhere.
However, the remaining few Tianmen Cult cultivators within the station werepletely unaware.
The Sect Master of Jiuling Sect couldn¡¯t help but look at Ji Lan with doubt.
Ji Lan¡¯s face remained calm: ¡°Whether it¡¯s true or not, it will be known once I personally check.¡±
¡°You want to go in person?¡±
The Sect Master of Jiuling Sect was taken aback immediately.
People around were shocked and hurriedly tried to dissuade him:
¡°Martial Uncle Ji, don¡¯t act impulsively. We should n this out thoroughly.¡±
¡°Yes, indeed. This ce has been upied by the Tianmen Cult for over a decade, there should be numerous formations and prohibitions. Martial Uncle Ji should not underestimate them. Let¡¯s discuss a suitable strategy first before making a decision.¡±
¡°This news might not be true either. If Ning Daohuan is currently inside the station, wouldn¡¯t you be walking into a trap¡¡±
Ji Lan gave a faint smile, looked around, his handsome, refined face carried a trace of sincerity:
¡°Every one of you traveled far to lend a hand to the East Saint Sect, I deeply appreciate it. How can I let all of you risk your lives for the East Saint Sect?¡±
¡°It is both reasonable and justifiable for me to be the one to go.¡±
¡°Rest assured, if it¡¯s about cultivation base, I am indeed inferior to Ning Daohuan. But if ites to expertise in discement techniques, I am quite confident.¡±
¡°Moreover, my East Saint Sect has operated here for years, surely we are not without any preparations.¡±
¡°Even if Ning Daohuan is present, I am confident that I can get out.¡±
After speaking, with a thought, Ji Lan vanished from their sight.
A group of more than twenty Golden Core cultivators led by the four great sect masters immediately stared at the East Saint station with serious expressions.
Nearly everyone activated their mana, ready to respond immediately to any movement within the station.
However, what made everyone uneasy was that there was no movement from within the station at all.
Just as everyone was exchanging nces, ready to break open the East Saint¡¯s station Sect Protection Array together, Ji Lan¡¯s figure suddenly reappeared in front of them.
However, his eyes were filled with suppressed excitement and joy.
¡°The news is correct! Ning Daohuan and the other twenty Golden Core cultivators are all gone!¡±
¡°What?! They¡¯re really not there?¡±
Although everyone already knew about this, they were still greatly shocked upon hearing Ji Lan¡¯s words.
The Sect Master of Jiuling Sect also showed a surprised expression, couldn¡¯t help but ask:
¡°Brother Ji, are you sure you didn¡¯t see Ning Daohuan? Could they be hiding?¡±
Ci Ren Pengcuo also nodded: ¡°That¡¯s right, are you sure?¡±
Zhong Bu of the Chihe Sword Sect also stared at him closely.
Ji Lan took a deep breath: ¡°I couldn¡¯t be wrong. The patterns inside the station haven¡¯t changed much, and I spent more than three hundred years here. I¡¯m familiar with every ce one could hide. Ning Daohuan and his party simply couldn¡¯t be hiding here ¡ª well, at least not inside the station.¡±
¡°In addition to that, apart from a few Foundation Establishmentpetitors who serve as deterrents, there are only some weak cultivators left in the station, which matches the information I received.¡±
¡°Therefore, it seems that Ning Daohuan and the Golden Core craftsmen of the Tianmen Cult are indeed not in the station.¡±
¡°But, will theye back through the teleportation array and ambush us?¡±
The Master Xiong of the Mountain Sea Sect couldn¡¯t help but ask.
¡°That¡¯s possible.¡±
Ji Lan nodded: ¡°That¡¯s why, I purposely traced some unique spiritual energy fluctuations from the Teleportation Array and found two arrays, which I have quietly sabotaged.¡±
¡°Well done!¡±
¡°Martial Uncle Ji is undoubtedly meticulous!¡±
¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean we can follow Martial Uncle Ji into the station now, and take it back for the East Saint Sect?¡±
¡°Absolutely not!¡±
Upon hearing this, the Five Great Sect Masters unanimously objected.
The five of them couldn¡¯t help but exchange nces and then burst outughing.
¡°I think it would be best for Martial Uncle Ji to clear up the doubts in our minds.¡±
Ci Ren Pengcuo said with augh.
Ji Lan didn¡¯t turn it down and immediately said:
¡°Even if Ning Daohuan and the others are not here, we can¡¯t be sure whether he was really distracted by the Incense Fire Dao of Jiang State or if he deliberately made a slip.¡±
¡°So the best approach is to proceed in a steady manner!¡±
¡°Once the station¡¯s teleportation arrays have been sabotaged by me, it would be quite unlikely for them to set up an ambush. So, all we need to do is to remove the formations and prohibitions here a bit at a time from the outside, eliminate the Tianmen Cult cultivators, and clean sweep once, regardless of whether Ning Daohuan has set a trap or not, they won¡¯t be able to touch us.¡±
¡°Although it may be a bit slower, it is much safer.¡±
Upon hearing Ji Lan¡¯s words, everyone quickly understood.
A consensus was quickly reached.
The Sect Masters of the other four sects immediately took their followers and each undertook the responsibility of breaking the formations.
Unexpectedly, Ji Lan handed the matter over to Ye Lingyu and disappeared again, teleporting back into the station.
He acted personally, knocking out these Tianmen Cult cultivators left in the station and some heresy cultivators that he vaguely recognized, bundling them all together.
After all, Ji Lan was a Golden Core Craftsman, and these cultivators couldn¡¯t even deploy a Sound Transmission Talisman,
Soon, every cultivator in the station was captured together.
Ji Lan nced at the cultivators from the Four Great Sects busy breaking the formations on the outskirts of the station, and immediatelynded on the high peaks behind the towering mountain gate.
Chapter 291: 65 Crossing Tribulation_2
Chapter 291: Chapter 65 Crossing Tribtion_2
As expected, a massive purple figure emerged from the crowd.
The figure was bound by chains as thick as arms, unable to move at all.
It was Fanming, the former divine beast of the East Saint Sect.
¡°Squawk!¡±
Seeing Ji Lan, Fanming seemed to remember something. After a brief pause, it immediately began to call out.
¡°The divine beast truly possesses a spirit!¡±
Ji Lan observed Fanming¡¯s wretched state and then pulled out a bell-like treasure from his sleeve.
He then infused Mana and activated the bell.
Upon hearing the bell, Fanming immediately began to struggle.
However, despite its vigorous struggles, the chains tightened even more the more it struggled.
¡°Ning Daohuan!¡±
Ji Lan cursed indignantly in a low voice, then immediately stopped ringing the bell.
He carefully walked forward and examined the material of the chains, which caused his eyebrows to furrow immediately.
¡°Ning Daohuan pulled out all the stops. He actually used the extremely precious grade IV ¡®Mysterious Fire Iron¡¯ to forge the chain Magic Tool!¡±
¡°What a waste of such a treasure!¡±
If the material is forged into a Magic Tool, it¡¯s not a big deal if the tool is valuable. However, this chain Magic Tool could only be used to bind Fanming¡¯s Primordial Spirit, which was aplete waste of such a treasure.
After some thought, Ji Lan took another ss III top-grade Magic Tool and hit one corner of the chain with all his might.
Nevertheless, it merely left a small mark on the chain.
It took Ji Lan quite an effort to chip off a palm-sized chunk from the chain.
¡°What a pity, what a pity!¡±
Ji Lan regretfully threw the broken piece of the chain aside.
Then, he scanned over the more than fifty chains tied to Fanming. While impressed by Ning Daohuan¡¯s extravagance, he grew even more irritated.
¡°Just to break these chains, I¡¯m afraid it would take half a year.¡±
¡°But it doesn¡¯t matter. Now that I¡¯m back in East Saint¡¯s territory, time is not an issue!¡±
With this thought.
He had to temporarily give up on Fanming, and instead began to deploy the shifting technique, heading outside of the formation.
¡°The style of Tianmen Cult¡¯s Sect Protection Array is indeed different from ours in Chen State, and even different from the nearby Sen State and Fu State.¡±
Someone eximed.
Even so, with the joint effort of more than twenty Golden Core cultivators, the outer perimeter of the formation was almost dismantled.
Just then.
A terrifying scream suddenly came from Zhongyuan City, reverberating across half of Chen State.
¡°Who dares to tamper with Tianmen Cult¡¯s Sect Protection Array in our territory!¡±
It was unequivocally the voice of Lu Yuansheng!
The cry echoed through the sky, even causing the white clouds in mid-air to scatter.
The Golden Core cultivators outside of East Saint¡¯s territory heard this voice and immediately paused.
They unexpectedly felt a pang of guilt.
However, at this moment, several strangeughter followed.
One of the voices, clear as a morning bell, spoke in a low voice:
¡°Are our friends from the Five Sects here? Ha ha, rest assured and act. We will do our best to hold off this Lu Yuansheng for you!¡±
After that, from the direction of Zhongyuan City, an astonishing wave of Soul fluctuation was transmitted.
¡°Get lost!¡±
Lu Yuansheng shouted angrily.
Then came the mingling of Mana and Soul, and the heart-stopping vibrations followed.
¡°Heh, these incense fire Daoists actually have some use.¡±
Zhong Bu sneered and immediately cut down with a sword. The formation in front of him instantly shattered, revealing the scene inside.
¡°Even if Lu Yuanshenges, he won¡¯t be much help. With so many of us here, even if we can¡¯t take him down for a while, it won¡¯t matter once his Mana is exhausted. He¡¯ll just be a dead man walking.¡±
Ci Ren Pengcuo said with augh.
The Golden Core cultivators around him regained theirposure and even seemed to be in the mood for humor.
Now that Ning Daohuan and the other twenty Golden Core cultivators of Tianmen Cult were absent, plus the Teleportation Array in the base had been destroyed, it was likely that Ning Daohuan would have a hard time getting back to Chen State anytime soon.
Only Lu Yuansheng was left here, struggling desperately, but he was no more than amb waiting to be ughtered.
Once everyone had cleared out the Tianmen Cult base, they would be able to free up their hands.
Then, whether it was Lu Yuansheng or the Incense Fire Dao, neither could escape death.
Only Ji Lan faintly felt as if something was not quite right.
He pondered while helping the Golden Core True Person within his sect to break the formation.
After thinking about it, he finally noticed what was wrong.
¡°It¡¯s too smooth¡ this operation has gone too smoothly!¡±
But upon careful thought, it all made sense.
It was entirely usible that Ning Daohuan and the other Golden Core True People were busy dealing with the Incense Fire Dao at another base.
And using Lu Yuansheng as a decoy to attract everyone¡¯s attention, making them hesitant to act rashly, also made sense.
If he hadn¡¯t learned of this secret from Cheng Shu, he wouldn¡¯t have dared to bring people here.
¡°Wait! Could Cheng Shu have already defected, and faked the message to me on purpose?¡±
But then he thought that didn¡¯t seem right either.
After all, Cheng Shu¡¯s trust from Lu Yuansheng was still due to the ss II upper grade, top grade spirit chicken he had secretly obtained from the East Saint Sect.
Otherwise, how could he possibly have cultivated a Spirit Beast of such a high grade in such a short time, with his pretty average Spirit Beast cultivation ability.
If this matter were to be exposed, Cheng Shu would surely lose Lu Yuansheng¡¯s trust.
So, in Ji Lan¡¯s view, there was a possibility that Cheng Shu had defected, but it was very small.
After much thought, he still couldn¡¯t figure out what the problem was.
Soon enough.
A cry of agony was heard from outside Zhongyuan city!
Following that, a dazzling light suddenly burst out!
It was the extraordinary sign of a ss III cultivator¡¯s death!
¡°Friends of the Five Major Sects, aren¡¯t you done yet?¡±
As clear as a morning bell and teeth ground, the voice echoed.
The people who were breaking the formation looked at each other and smiled.
¡°Hehe, it seems that Lu Yuansheng is really in a hurry! He probably knows that once the formation is broken, he can no longer save the teleportation array, and he¡¯ll be all alone.¡±
¡°Unfortunately for him, it¡¯s useless to be anxious. Friend Ji Lan had already snuck in using the strategy left by the predecessors and destroyed the teleportation array.¡±
¡°Everyone, don¡¯t worry, take it easy.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s continue shedding the blood of the Incense Fire Dao!¡±
It didn¡¯t take long.
There was another scream, and a strange phenomenon suddenly floated up in the sky.
¡°Aren¡¯t you finished yet?¡±
The booming voice was already filled with urgency and anxiety.
¡°Soon!¡±
At this time, Ci Ren Pengcuo was kind-hearted and responded.
Indeed, it was really going to be quick. Although everyone deliberately slowed down, it was still fast with more than twenty Golden Core true people taking action, and the big formation was quickly disintegrated and broken open.
The people then flew in all directions of the East Saint Sect base, scanning every inch of the ground with their spiritual sense to make sure no hidden dangers were left.
These cultivators were all diligent, mainly because they all understood the harm of Tianmen Cult leaving Chen State and had personally witnessed the pitiful state of the East Saint Sect being forced to leave its base. As a result, no one dared to ck off.
Seeing this, Ji Lan finally felt somewhat relieved.
Looking at the familiar site of the East Saint Sect, a sense of joy spontaneously grew in his heart.
¡°We have finally returned!¡±
¡°Otherwise, I, Ji Lan, would have no face to face my master or Jiaohu Ancestor¡¡±
Just at this moment.
The sky suddenly darkened!
With the intery of Qi, the cultivators involuntarily looked towards the southeast direction.
There, before anyone realized it, the sky had suddenly filled withyers of thick dark clouds.
Between the dark clouds, a sense of disaster and uncertainty was brewing, seeming like infinite tribtions were about to descend.
¡°Heavenly Tribtion! It¡¯s a Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribtion!¡±
¡°Master Pang of the Mountain Sea Sect is about to Cross the Tribtion?!¡±
Chapter 292: 66: Annihilation_1
Chapter 292: Chapter 66: Annihtion_1
Five hundred kilometers south of the East Saint¡¯s settlement.
In a desertednd.
The Concealment Array was quietly operating.
Shen Fu was meditating with his eyes closed.
Meanwhile, Wang Ba had taken out the Meteor me Iron, attempting to open up his second Dantian.
It was his first time trying it on an ore.
Perhaps due to his many practice attempts with eggs, this attempt to create a second Dantian went incredibly smoothly.
Soon, using his mana, he had opened an incredibly small space inside the ore thaty somewhere between existence and nonexistence.
Curiously, acupoints began to form on the surface of the ore¡
To avoid attracting attention, Wang Ba crushed the Spirit Stone, using its Spiritual Energy to seal the Meteor me Iron.
Soon, this newly opened second Dantian began its first absorption and refining process.
Wang Ba felt it and found that the speed of refining wasn¡¯t as ideal as he expected.
It was even slower than the transformation speed of his poorest Spiritual Root, the Earth Spirit Root.
¡°Does this mean that the Meteor me Iron corresponds to an average Spiritual Root qualification?¡±
Wang Ba pondered quietly.
This point was mentioned in the ¡°Chaotic Yuan Method.¡±
Using different treasured objects as the second Dantian, their corresponding Spiritual Root qualifications could be high or low.
Here, ¡®qualification¡¯ referred more to the speed of absorption and transformation of Spiritual Energy.
Theoretically, the qualification of the corresponding Spiritual Root should be as high as possible.
After all, once the second Dantian has been cultivated, it can be integrated into the body¡¯s original Dantian, supplementing the Body¡¯s Spiritual Root and artificially creating the ¡®Five Virtues Body¡¯.
Yet Wang Ba didn¡¯t mind, because the second Dantian he currently aimed to cultivate was mainly for amodating the ¡®Yin Devouring Mother Insect¡¯.
Unfortunately, the grade of the Yin Devouring Mother Insect was too high, being a ss II top grade Spirit Insect.
Despite being persistent, Wang Ba tried to ce the Mother Insect into the second Dantian, only to feel an immediate sense of copse.
¡°Still too weak¡¡±
Wang Ba shook his head.
¡°It seems I can only continue to cultivate. I must at least advance the cultivation of my second Dantian to the Foundation Establishment stage before I can barely keep the Yin Devouring Mother Insect in there long term.¡±
As long as the Yin Devouring Mother Insect can hide in the second Dantian for a long time, and due to the close connection between the second Dantian and himself, he can easily hide his soul¡¯s aura.
In this way, he can leave the Tianmen Cult whenever he wants without worry.
After contemting for a while.
Suddenly, he heard an outrageous roaring from outside the array.
¡°Who dares to interfere with the Sect-protection Formation of my Tianmen Cult¡¯s base!¡±
¡°Lu Yuansheng?¡±
Wang Ba immediately recognized the voice, and his expression changed slightly.
¡°Someone is attacking the East Saint¡¯s base?¡±
Realizing this, Wang Ba couldn¡¯t help but stand up, his brow furrowed.
A considerable concern arose in his heart.
He was certainly not worried about the Tianmen Cult, but Bu Chan who remained at the East Saint¡¯s settlement.
Although the Tianmen Cult had many Golden Core-level Elders, with the Sect Hierarch¡¯s whereabouts currently unknown and the Golden Core Elders never appearing, Wang Ba was quite concerned.
And it was undoubtedly a Golden Core-level elder who would dare attack the East Saint¡¯s settlement at this time.
¡°Could it be the Incense Fire Dao?!¡±
Then, he suddenly heard another loud voice.
¡°Friends from the five sects, please rest assured and attack¡¡±
¡°The five sects¡the five sects of Chen State!¡±
Wang Ba shivered with rm!
He had read many records about the five sects of Chen State and knew clearly that although the five sects didn¡¯t have an Immortal Master of Nascent Soul, they had more than thirty Golden Core Eldersbined.
Excluding some who guarded the Sects, more than twenty Golden Core Elderness were enough if they decided to attack¡
Thinking of this probability, Wang Ba¡¯s heart sank!
¡°Elder Brother!¡±
Shen Fu was also awakened by the roaring of Lu Yuansheng and the Incense-burning Dao Cultivator, and also realized the danger to the East Saint¡¯s settlement.
But he seemed to think of something and hurriedly reassured him:
¡°Elder Brother¡ don¡¯t worry too much. With the Sect Hierarch and many Golden Core Elders in the East Saint¡¯s settlement, nothing will happen.¡±
As long as the East Saint¡¯s settlement is not breached, Bu Chan will not be in danger.
However, upon hearing this, Wang Ba seemed to understand something, and shaking his head, he said with a difficult expression:
¡°No, the words of Lu Yuansheng just now have already revealed to everyone that Ning Daohuan and the other Golden Core Elders are probably not in the East Saint settlement anymore!¡±
¡°What?¡±
Shen Fu was taken aback, but then he understood.
If there were more than Lu Yuansheng in the settlement, and the Sect-protection formation was not refined by him, how could Lu Yuansheng in Zhongyuan City know that someone was attacking the formation at the East Saint settlement?
His expression immediately changed as well.
Still holding a glimmer of hope, he hesitated and said:
¡°Ning Daohuan¡ wouldn¡¯t really abandon this settlement, would he?¡±
¡°There are still so many Cultivators inside.¡±
¡°Maybe, it¡¯s a trick to lure the people from the five sects outside and trap them all at once?¡±
¡°I hope so.¡±
Wang Ba, with a tense look, stared into the distance muttering.
But the foreboding in his heart grew heavier.
Soon after,
From outside Zhongyuan City, a tragic scream suddenly sounded!
Wang Ba couldn¡¯t help but tense!
Following that, a blinding burst of light exploded within his sight.
It was so intense that it blocked out the sun!
¡°A Golden Core elder has fallen!¡±
¡°Was it from the Incense Fire Dao or was it Lu Yuansheng?¡±
The overwhelming mix of mana and soul power made it impossible for Wang Ba to identify the link between the fallen individual.
Chapter 293: 66: Destruction_2
Chapter 293: Chapter 66: Destruction_2
¡°Friends of the five sects, are you not ready yet!¡±
The booming voice resounded again, filled with extreme urgency, which instantly put Wang Ba at ease.
Even though he intensely despised Lu Yuansheng and wished to tear him apart, venting his hatred.
But at this moment, he had never hoped more that thetter could survive and rush to the East Saint¡¯s station ¡
Even if he knew that Lu Yuansheng, no matter how strong, couldn¡¯t stop the many Golden Core experts from the five sects of Chen State alone, it was still his only hope at this moment.
Another ring light rose!
Another Golden Core has fallen!
¡°Not ready yet!¡±
The booming voice was filled with extreme impatience and suppressed anger.
Not long after, a foreign voice came from the station of East Saint.
¡°Almost there!¡±
Just two short words, but it made Wang Ba¡¯s heart sink to the bottom.
At this moment.
He stood dazed, feeling aplete nk in his mind.
¡°Elder brother, don¡¯t be reckless!¡±
Shen Fu sensed something was wrong, immediately rushed over, and quickly fortified the formation.
However, to his surprise, Wang Ba¡¯s face was abnormally calm.
Yet somehow, the sight of this calm face, and the coldness in his eyes, like the abyss, sent a chill through Shen Fu!
He couldn¡¯t help but feel a hint of fear rising in his heart.
¡°Elder¡Elder brother, you¡¡±
¡°I won¡¯t be reckless, don¡¯t worry, at this point, nothing I can do will change anything.¡±
Wang Ba gave a self-deprecating smile.
But within that smile, was a deep chill.
He didn¡¯t utter any harsh words.
Yet Shen Fu could clearly sense the implication behind Wang Ba¡¯s smile.
He had no doubt that if Bu Chan was safe then so be it. But if anything had happened to Bu Chan, his elder brother would definitely make those who acted today pay a memorable price!
And Shen Fu, who had admired Wang Ba¡¯s qualities these days, didn¡¯t doubt that Wang Ba could do it.
¡°I hope Bu Chan is okay¡¡±
Shen Fu thought to himself.
Worried that Wang Ba would be too distressed, he took the initiative to say:
¡°Elder brother, what should we do next? The East Saint station has been upied, should we consider relocating?¡±
Wang Ba was silent for a moment.
Then he negated it:
¡°No, let¡¯s wait a bit longer.¡±
Shen Fu was taken aback: ¡°But once the people of the five sects stabilize the station, the next step would probably be to clear out the nearby followers of Tianmen Cult. We are too close to the station, I¡¯m afraid¡¡±
¡°No, Ning Daohuan, the Hierarch of the Tianmen Cult, is deep-minded, cunning, and almost demonic! I still don¡¯t quite believe that he would expose such a big w¡ let¡¯s wait a bit longer, a bit longer.¡±
Wang Ba¡¯s eyes shone brightly, looking remarkably clear.
Shen Fu also found himself moved by Wang Ba¡¯s gaze. His original tense feeling slowly rxed.
As he continued to reinforce the formation, he contemted how he would do his best to protect his elder brother if the Golden Core masters arrived.
Even a sense of resolution began to rise in his heart.
¡°Shen, don¡¯t be foolish!¡±
At that moment, a bizarre voice suddenly echoed in Shen Fu¡¯s spiritual government.
Shen Fu remained silently, without responding.
¡°Fine, fine! Consider me blind for choosing you as my disciple! I¡¯ll teach you the Chaos Explosion spell¡¡±
The strange voice said helplessly.
Then, within the spiritual government, it rapidly began to impart knowledge.
There were thick traces of genuine spell meaning directly imprinted into Shen Fu¡¯s brain.
Shen Fu¡¯s spirit perked up, he nced at Wang Ba, then quickly immersed his mind in practicing the Chaos Explosion spell.
Not much time passed.
Shen Fu suddenly opened his eyes, a feeling of unease seized him!
He subconsciously looked at Wang Ba, only to find Wang Ba also staring in the southeast direction with a serious expression.
Following Wang Ba¡¯s gaze, Shen Fu was immediately stunned.
Over the distant sky, great amounts of dark clouds had somehow enveloped it.
Within these clouds, a destructive aura was brewing, with asional shes of lightning!
¡°Is it Heavenly Tribtion?!¡±
Shen Fu couldn¡¯t help but exim in a low voice.
And in his spiritual government, the bizarre voice timely remarked, with a hint of emotion:
¡°It¡¯s the Nascent Soul Tribtion.¡±
¡°Someone is about to Cross the Tribtion¡ it appears to be a body cultivator.¡±
A rare hint of curiosity rose on Shen Fu¡¯s usually cold face, he couldn¡¯t help but look towards the sky.
Soon.
A thunderbolt fell.
Then came a giant peal of thunder.
Despite the distance, Shen Fu could only sense the immense Heavenly Might contained within, but he could not observe the specifics.
Twent-seven thunderbolts fell in session.
The clouds in the sky finally dissipated, a brilliant golden light shone through the clouds.
At the same time.
A hearty voice echoed through the entire Chen State:
¡°Hahaha!¡±
¡°I am Pang Xiao of the Mountain Sea Sect, today I¡¯ve achieved the Nascent Soul Realm!¡±
¡°The Mountain Sea path ispleted, I am not what I was!¡±
The joy and pride in the voice were known to all at this moment.
But the cultivators who saw this scene were filled with deep envy.
Who wouldn¡¯t want to step into such a realm if they could, enjoying the fruit of longevity?
Live long and watch the world change, remaining unfazed.
Even Shen Fu, hearing the pride in this hearty voice, couldn¡¯t help but feel a tinge of longing rising in his heart.
Immortal Master of Nascent Soul ah!
No one in the Chen State had reached that level in hundreds of years!
For ny-nine percent of cultivators, this was a realm they didn¡¯t dare to dream of.
And today he was fortunate enough to witness it, Shen Fu couldn¡¯t hold back a feeling of joy.
Seemingly sensing the longing in Shen Fu¡¯s heart, the bizarre voice in his spiritual government scoffed:
Chapter 294: 66 Annihilation_3
Chapter 294: Chapter 66 Annihtion_3
¡°Heh, it¡¯s just Nascent Soul Realm, if you cultivate the way I tell you to, you could easily reach that stage within three hundred years.¡±
But Shen Fu ignored his words.
His gaze couldn¡¯t help but stare southeast.
If he were at the Nascent Soul Realm, with the expanse of Chen State, he could freely do as he pleased, perhaps he could even protect his Elder Brother, couldn¡¯t he?
But just at that moment.
Towards the southeast.
A voice full of shock and anger from Pang Xiao suddenly came:
¡°Ning Daohuan?! How are you here?!¡±
Shen Fu was momentarily taken aback.
Then he immediately realized something, and a chill ran down his spine, shivers running down his back!
¡°Ning Daohuan¡ he¡¯s in the Mountain Sea Sect?!¡±
He swiftly looked towards Wang Ba, only to see in his gaze towards the southeast an expression of ¡®so that¡¯s how it is¡¯.
It seemed that he was not surprised at all.
Shen Fu¡¯s heart was shocked!
Elder Brother was right in his guess!
Ning Daohuan indeed had other schemes!
However, before he had time to think thoroughly, he felt an intense vibrationing from the southeast direction as the result of a confrontation.
Straight after that, a horrifying mana fluctuation was transmitted¡
However, merely momentster.
In the Southeast direction, the location of the Mountain Sea Sect.
All sound and fluctuations strangely faded into silence.
The silence was so eerie that it gave rise to a thread of unease and tension in everyone¡
Until, all of a sudden, a downpour of blood began falling from the southeastern sky!
Out of nowhere, a malignant wind erupted, howling as if the sky was wailing.
And then a sigh followed.
¡°From today on¡ Pang Xiao no longer exists.¡±
All over Chen State, all was deathly silent!
Following the brief silence, a furious voice suddenly came from the residence of the East Saint:
¡°Ning Daohuan! Mountain Sea Sect will never rest until you¡¯re dead!¡±
¡°Since you¡¯re not here, we¡¯ll start with your disciples¡¯ lives to im vengeance!¡±
Before the echo of the voice fades.
The East Saint residence resounded with an enormous roar.
Apanying this roar.
Wang Ba¡¯s face turned instantly pale.
¡°Elder Brother¡¡±
Shen Fu looked at Wang Ba with worry.
Wang Ba lifted his hand, biting his lips tightly, staring through the formations intently at the direction of the East Saint residence.
Soon, a series of fast-moving lights streaked across the sky.
The speed of these lights far exceeded that of Foundation Establishmentpetitors and were clearly the Golden Core cultivators of the five sects.
Now that Ning Daohuan was even able to kill Pang Xiao who had just advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, it was meaningless for them to linger in the East Saint residence any longer.
They sped off towards the Mountain Sea Sect.
Wang Ba looked up at these people, one by one, silently, remembering their auras, one by one.
He remembered them in his heart.
Then soon, through the formation, the two saw arge group of incense-burning Dao Cultivators flying from all directions toward Zhongyuan City.
¡°Elder Brother, where should we go?¡±
Shen Fu couldn¡¯t resist asking.
Wang Ba clenched his teeth and his response showed no hesitation:
¡°To the East Saint Residence!¡±
Shen Fu also showed no hesitation:
¡°Okay!¡±
After a moment¡¯s pause to confirm there were no incense-burning Dao Cultivators within vicinity, he immediately dismantled the formation, and along with Wang Ba quickly embarked on a flying magic tool.
When they flew past Mengxing Vi, they found that there was not a single incense-burning Dao Cultivator left.
Without stopping, they quickly hurried towards the East Saint residence.
¡
The ups and downs of life, theye too fast.
Looking at the deserted site of the East Saint Sect, other than a few Golden Core cultivators from his own sect, Ji Lan¡¯s heart was filled with bitterness.
Half an incense time earlier, he was still soaked in the joy of being back and was pondering the future rebuilding of the sect.
But within a mere half incense time, the situation had changed dramatically.
In particr, the sudden demise of Pang Xiao from the Mountain Sea Sect, instantly plunged Ji Lan¡¯s heart into a trough.
This was to such an extent that when the Sect Master of the Mountain Sea Sect red up in his anger, he didn¡¯t even have time to stop him.
At this moment, a sense of failure and an indescribable responsibility overwhelmed him and he couldn¡¯t help but fall in front of Fanming.
Exhausting all his strength, he continually hammered at the shackles binding Fanming!
However what frustrated him more was that the shackles remained unaltered.
The harsh reality instantly stung Ji Lan as he angrily shed the shackles with his magic tool.
¡°Damn it!¡±
¡°Damn it!¡±
¡°Ning Daohuan! Ning Daohuan! Ning Daohuan!¡±
He seemed like a madman!
¡°Sect Master!¡±
¡°Sect Master!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s get going! As long as we can kill Ning Daohuan together, we should still have time to take back this ce!¡±
Seeing Ji Lan lose control, the Golden Core cultivators of the East Saint Sect couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of sorrow and tried to calm him down.
Only Ye Lingyu¡¯s cold gaze remained without a trace of emotion.
Finally, under the coercion of the Golden Core cultivators, Ji Lan regained his senses.
At the end of that release, he seemed to have realized something.
With his swollen and red eyes, he observed everyone around him, his gaze filled with resolute determination and he said:
¡°Respected members, I have decided, starting from today, abandon Fanming! Let¡¯s distance ourselves from Chen State, and find a new ce to reestablish the East Saint Sect!¡±
Upon hearing Ji Lan¡¯s words, the cultivators looked at each other with a look of regret. However, they also heaved a sigh of relief.
The Tianmen Cult was too powerful. They truly had done their utmost.
Immediately, they all responded:
¡°We obey the Sect Master¡¯smand!¡±
¡°We obey!¡±
After onest nce at Fanming and the old site of the East Saint Sect, the Golden Core cultivators of the East Saint Sect turned into several streaks of light and disappeared into the sky.
And not a moment too soon.
Above the ruins of the East Saint residence.
Two streaks of lightnded in a hurry.
It was Wang Ba and Shen Fu.
However, taking in the sight before their eyes,
Wang Ba¡¯s eyes instantly turned red.
Chapter 295: 67 - The Ring_1
Chapter 295: Chapter 67 ¨C The Ring_1
As far as the eye could see.
The once lush green hillocks,kes, marketces, residences¡were nowhere to be seen.
It was as if they had all been washed away by a natural disaster, leaving only ruins in their wake.
From a bird¡¯s eyes view.
The earth seemed to be filled with ugly scars.
Wang Ba stood near where South Lake used to be.
Unable to suppress a chill expression
The South Lake, which had survived the invasion of the Tianmen Cult into the East Saint Sect, was nowpletely filled with murky water, with half of the adjacent hill sted away and fallen into theke.
Moreover, the former poultry farm and spirit fields along the shore of South Lake were also gone.
All that could be seen was scorched earth.
Wang Ba, seeming to have perceived something, quickly moved to a location within the scorched area and found a half-burnt gourd vine.
This ss II gourd vine, after all, was not able to grow.
¡°Senior Brother, there is no Qi presence of Bu Chan here.¡±
Shen Fu walked over, frowning.
While it¡¯s true that ¡®An overflight of geese leaves traces,¡¯ although a cultivator may die, often leaving a faint hint of their Qi, considering the short time psed, with unique means or at least a keen Spiritual Sense one could still perceive it.
However, Shen Fu was unable to detect the Qi of Bu Chan.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba¡¯s eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope, immediately discarding the gourd vine in his hand.
Rapidly ascending into the air, he looked down below.
Soon, he saw a ce where a dense aura of blood and ughter shot into the sky.
¡°Over there!¡±
Wang Ba flew in that direction.
Soon, hended near a piece ofnd that was also scorched ck.
There was not a trace of blood here, nor any remnants of limbs or the like.
However, Wang Ba¡¯s face grew even more grave.
Because the rich aura of blood and ughter here would not lie, it was apparent that the perpetrator despised the others greatly and reduced the cultivators of this ce to ashes!
With the strength of a True Person of the Golden Core level, this could be achieved in an instant.
¡°Mountain Sea Sect!¡±
The eyes of Wang Ba were filled with coldness.
But what made him slightly puzzled was that even here, he still couldn¡¯t perceive the Qi of Bu Chan.
Shen Fu, who had followed closely, also shook his head at him.
Wang Ba frowned deeply.
He abruptly ascended again to search all around.
Soon, when his gaze swept across a purple figure between the numerous peaks, he immediately noticed a scorched area around it.
Wang Ba didn¡¯t overlook this, and despite being on high alert around this Fanming¡¯s primordial spirit, he descended towards it.
However, out of safety considerations, he immediately summoned Bing 1.
This ck-feathered Chicken, which had been imbued with a soul seed by Wang Ba and had devoured a ss III Yin Ghost, was vigorous and lively.
Compared to before, its eyes also faintly possessed a hint of spirituality.
It was most adept at handling Yin Ghosts, but it remained to be seen whether it could handle this Primordial Spirit.
When Bing 1 was released from the Spirit Beast Bag, it immediately joyfully hobbled over to Wang Ba, rubbing its head against him.
However, it quickly realized that its master did not seem to have the intention of ying with it.
Bing 1 was not offended; it cocked its head to look around.
It was soon attracted by the purple figure trapped by heavy iron chains and walked curiously towards it.
¡°Bing 1!¡±
Wang Ba called out urgently.
Bing 1 turned its head, looking at Wang Ba in confusion, but its curiosity overcame it as it took two more steps forward.
The purple figure, Fanming, however, had its eyes tightly closed, seemingly oblivious.
Seeing that there seemed to be no danger, Wang Ba paid no more attention to it.
Rapidly feeling around, he found that there was no remnant cultivator Qi in the scorched earth in this area.
¡°Not here either¡¡±
Wang Ba didn¡¯tknow whether to be relieved or distressed.
The absence of Bu Chan¡¯s Qi meant Bu Chan might not be dead yet.
However, there was also the possibility that he still had not found Bu Chan¡¯s location.
Just then, he suddenly sensed something vibrating in his storage bag.
He immediately reached into it and pulled it out.
It turned out to be the ¡®Dragon Seeking Compass¡¯ he had previously obtained from the wanderer cultivator Wu Buping at Qianyu Lake.
¡°Hmm?¡±
Wang Ba was slightly puzzled.
But he saw thepass¡¯ needle was pointing at the iron chains on Fanming¡¯s primordial spirit and was shaking intensely.
At this moment Wang Ba was not interested in hunting for spirit items, moreover, the items that could trap Fanming were not something he could take.
After trying and finding it to be true, he didn¡¯t attempt again.
He promptly put thepass back into his storage bag.
He bent down and scrutinized the area carefully, seeing nothing other than scorched earth and a distinct crack in the iron chain but no traces of spell casting.
Nor was there any Qi of Bu Chan.
But soon, the storage bag was vibrating again.
Wang Ba frowned and took out the Dragon Seeking Compass.
But he saw the needle pointing in another direction.
Wang Ba hesitated, but then followed the direction of the needle and, unexpectedly, found a piece of iron in the rocks that seemed to be made of the same material as the one on Fanming¡¯s primordial spirit.
He didn¡¯t have the effort to think further, so he just put the iron piece into his storage bag since thepass rmended it and he could take it.
But when he looked up, he couldn¡¯t help but shudder!
Within the iron chains, Fanming had already opened his eyes and was looking at him without any emotion!
What frightened Wang Ba even more was the purple shadow that was quietly extending from one of the extremely fresh cracks in the iron chains, covering the totally unsuspecting ck-feathered Chicken from behind!
¡°Bing 1! Run!¡±
Wang Ba shouted out immediately.
At the same time, he instantly activated a Magic Tool and smashed it towards Fanming¡¯s primordial spirit!
However, seeing the Magic Tooling towards him, Fanming¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of ridicule.
The purple shadow that extended from the crack in the iron chains suddenly elerated andpletely enveloped Bing 1!
Then, under Wang Ba¡¯s shocked gaze, the purple shadow enveloped Bing 1 and quickly shrank, reabsorbing back into the crack in the chains.
And the ck-feathered Chicken had disappeared below the iron chains!
At this time, Wang Ba¡¯s Magic Tool just fell on Fanming¡¯s iron chains.
A clear crash rang out.
But Wang Ba immediately noticed that his Magic Tool had obvious signs of damage!
He couldn¡¯t help turning his horrified gaze to the iron chains, realizing only then the value of these chains restraining Fanming was likely far beyond his imagination.
Unfortunately, he could not unlock these iron chains, otherwise, the people from the Five Major Sects who hade earlier would have released Fanming long ago.
¡°Bing 1¡¡±
After giving Fanming a nce, Wang Ba¡¯s face grew ghastly and, without any hesitation, he immediately flew away from the scene.
Despite feeling reluctant about leaving Bing 1 behind, he dared not entertain any thoughts of rescue facing the unpredictable Fanming.
He then piloted his flight magic tool for another round, yet he still could not detect any signs of Bu Chan¡¯s aura.
¡°Where could she be? Could she have been taken by the cultivators from the Five Major Sects?¡±
¡°Could it be someone from the East Saint Sect?¡±
Wang Ba couldn¡¯t help but bring up this spection within his heart.
Bu Chan was after all once part of the East Saint Sect, perhaps she was recognized by the cultivators of the East Saint Sect and taken back by them.
This was not an impossible urrence.
Given that the East Saint Sect was likely in desperate need of disciples at the moment, such action was internationally considered.
Just then, Shen Fu flew over with an air of mncholy.
A sense of unease promptly risen within Wang Ba¡¯s heart.
And quite quickly, this disquiet was confirmed.
¡°I found this on the shore of South Lake.¡±
Shen Fu opened his palm, revealing an ancient ring stained with dirt.
Seeing this ring, Wang Ba was stunned.
That was Bu Chan¡¯s ring, which she had once given to him, and which he returned to her in the years that followed.
It was a token of their rtionship.
At this moment, many fragments of memories about Bu Chan surged forth in his mind, uncontroble.
But he managed to hold them back forcibly.
He took the ring, and his spiritual sense probed into it.
There were misceneous items, magic tools, talismans and so on.
These things¡they were all what he had once left for Bu Chan.
He couldn¡¯t help but clench the ring tighter.
His eyes were full of coldness.
¡°Mountain Sea Sect¡¡±
¡
Three dayster.
¡°Congrattions to the Sect Hierarch for ying the Mountain Sea Sect¡¯s supremo!¡±
¡°Congrattions to the Sect Hierarch for ying¡¡±
In the East Saint Shrine.
On therge square which had been refurbished to its former glory.
The cultivators of the Tianmen Cult were respectfully hailing and prasing Ning Daohuan who stood atop the stage.
Standing next to Sect Hierarch Ning Daohuan were about ten Golden Core Masters who were also enjoying the congrattions from the cultivators below.
Although, amongst the people below, many familiar faces were now missing.
Within the crowd, Wang Ba¡¯s face was cold.
Nevertheless, he managed to piece together Ning Daohuan¡¯s entire n through whispers around him.
At face value, Ning Daohuan dispatched Lu Yuansheng to entangle with the Incense Fire Dao to attract the attention of all; secretly, however, he intentionally leaked some information, revealing the vulnerability of the East Saint Shrine, and consequently, attracted the attention of the Golden Core Masters from the Five Major Sects.
In the end, with the lives of those cultivators left in the East Saint Shrine as the price, he deceived everyone.
Then unexpectedly, he appeared within the Mountain Sea Sect.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when Supremo Pang Xiao of the Mountain Sea Sect had just crossed the tribtion and had not fully recovered from his injuries, he killed this significant troublemaker in one fell swoop.
The Mountain Sea Sect suffered heavy losses!
Not only did they lose their newly emerged Master of Nascent Soul, the sect was also set ame.
Wang Ba couldn¡¯t help but recall the task ofying out formations he hadpleted previously.
Back when the formations were being ced near Lun Mountain, not far from the the Mountain Sea Sect, he had felt that something was amiss.
In retrospect, these formations were probablyid as a preparation for Ning Daohuan and the rest of the Golden Core Masters to sneak into the Mountain Sea Sect.
What puzzled Wang Ba was how Ning Daohuan was so sure that Supremo Pang Xiao of the Mountain Sea Sect would choose this time to traverse the tribtion to reach the Nascent Soul stage?
However, his doubts were doomed to remain unanswered.
He could only keep track of Ning Daohuan¡¯s shadow from a corner of his eyes.
If Ning Daohuan hadn¡¯t deliberately thrown the East Saint Shrine as bait, it would not have been breached.
If the East Saint Shrine hadn¡¯t been breached, then Bu Chan¡
Thinking up to this point, Wang Ba¡¯s heart could not help but chill once again.
However, he quickly suppressed it.
Ning Daohuan did not have much to say either. Although he managed to kill Pang Xiao sessfully, the trouble with the Incense Fire Dao remained unresolved, and the Four Major Sects of the Chen State were still watching with vignce.
It was because the East Saint Shrine was destroyed, causing panic among the disciples, that he had no choice but to hold this victory celebration to boost the morale. Otherwise, he would not have time for such things.
Soon, the reconstruction work of the Shrine also began.
Wang Ba and Shen Fu were also assigned with the task to assist in setting up the teleportation array.
This was a top-priority task within the Shrine.
The task of setting up the array was personally undertaken by the Golden Core Master Jingkong City, while Wang Ba and the others were responsible for assisting.
Soon.
Apanied by a fluctuation of light.
The teleportation array began to operate smoothly.
¡°Send someone and let the members from the other shrines test it.¡±
Jingkong City ordered.
Immediately, a cultivator cautiously walked into the array and disappeared swiftly.
After a short while, he emerged from the array.
Soon, the teleportation array began operating again.
A group of cultivators who had stayed in the other shrines appeared within the array.
¡°It¡¯s working, no problem!¡±
One of the cultivators shouted.
Wang Ba stood on the side, his face expressionless, his heart only wanted to finish the task quickly and return to his cultivation.
With Bu Chan no more, thest bit of attachment that he had for the Tianmen Cult also vanished.
Once his second Dantian ispleted, capable of withstanding the parasitism of the Yin Devouring Mother Insect, he would immediately leave this ce.
¡°That¡¯s right, there¡¯s also Shen Fu¡¡±
His gaze swept around and noticed Shen Fu who was also assigned to inspect the teleportation array.
¡°I should take him along when the timees.¡±
Thinking of this, the graceful figure of Bu Chan seemed to float before his eyes once again.
His heart felt even more pained, lonely and colder.
Just then.
A very familiar voice suddenly rang in his ear:
¡°Senior brother!¡±
Chapter 296: 68: Turning Demons into Righteousness_1
Chapter 296: Chapter 68: Turning Demons into Righteousness_1
Fenglin Continent.
In the southwest direction.
An endless expanse of ck swamp.
The glow of the teleportation array gradually brightened.
A handsome figure dressed in ck, resembling a graceful young man, slowly stepped out of the teleportation array.
It was indeed Lu Yuansheng.
He looked up at the distance.
A towering statue with 24 arms stretched out.
Uncannily, these 24 arms were raised and met in front of it.
It was as if the palms of the statue were delicately holding something.
The figure in the statue¡¯s hand gave off a heavy fragrance of blood energy and remained motionless.
Despite being grotesquely massive and lying in repose, it exuded an eerie, looming presence!
If it weren¡¯t for the obvious hole in its forehead and the dry blood stains, Lu Yuansheng might have thought it was still alive.
¡°Pang Xiao¡¡±
Lu Yuansheng couldn¡¯t help being shocked internally.
However, he immediately suppressed all his emotions upon hearing Ning Daohuan¡¯s rxed and content voice behind him.
¡°Have you arrived? How about the people of the Incense Fire Dao, are they easy to handle?¡±
Turning around quickly, Lu Yuansheng respectfully greeted Ning Daohuan who was strolling down from the top of the statue.
No emotion could be observed on his face.
¡°Responding to the Sect Hierarch, these people indeed practice bizarre tactics, yet thanks to the ¡®Blood Bone Saint Venerable¡¯ bestowed by you, I managed to decapitate two just by chance.¡±
¡°Unfortunately, my mana wasn¡¯t sufficient, allowing the other four to escape. Worse still, they have mixed up with the people of the five sects.¡±
There was no hint of me on Ning Daohuan¡¯s face, he simply nodded and said,
¡°Since you have just entered the Golden Core stage and have been able tomand the Blood Bone Saint Venerable to such an extent, it is already verymendable.¡±
He then sighed, ¡°It¡¯s just a pity about Elder Ju and the others.¡±
Lu Yuansheng remained silent.
Previously, Ning Daohuan had killed Pang Xiao of the Mountain Sea Sect, provoking the wrath of the cultivators from the five sects of the Chen State.
Under thebined forces of more than 20 Golden Core Masters, even Ning Daohuan didn¡¯t dare to directly confront them.
Although Ning Daohuan managed to evade their attack, the Golden Core Masters of the Tianmen Cult, who recently exhausted their powers in besieging Pang Xiao, were incapable of avoiding it. In one exchange, they were decapitated by the opposition.
If Ning Daohuan hadn¡¯t protected them in time, their corpses wouldn¡¯t have remained intact.
Ning Daohuan, having regained some of his mana and being an Immortal Master of the Nascent Soul, soon turned the tables and forced the cultivators of the Chen State¡¯s five sects to retreat, allowing him to escape sessfully.
Unable to catch up, the cultivators from the five sects of the Chen State had to fall back.
¡°By the way, I received a message not long ago that disciples from our Sect have spotted a group from East Saint Sect heading west. It seems like they are nning to abandon this ce.¡±
Ning Daohuan asked with a smile, ¡°What are your thoughts?¡±
Lu Yuansheng remained reverent, ¡°They are wise, otherwise if they stay any longer, their death will be certain.¡±
¡°But we must be cautious. Ji Lan is cunning and calcting, and it¡¯s unpredictable whether he intentionally showed us this move, only to secretly sneak back.¡±
Ning Daohuan nodded slightly,
¡°You¡¯re right. Then I¡¯ll leave this task to you. Oh, and you did a good job luring the tiger away from the mountain.¡±
Lu Yuansheng froze upon hearing this but maintained hisposure,
¡°I didn¡¯t do well. It¡¯s just that Cheng Shu is too foolish. He thought no one would find out, but in fact, I have never trusted him. This time, I purposely leaked some ¡®secrets¡¯ in front of him, and he immediately reported it to East Saint Sect.¡±
¡°To observe people¡¯s hearts and manipte them is no simple feat. If you can learn and use it well, I will be able to entrust you with all matters of our Sect after my demise.¡±
Ning Daohuan stated with a shake of his head.
¡°Sect Hierarch, you are at the pinnacle of your life and can enjoy a lifespan of ten thousand years. You speak too soon.¡±
For once, an indescribable expression of admiration showed on Lu Yuansheng¡¯s face as he hastily responded.
Yet, Ning Daohuan waved dismissively,menting,
¡°Ten thousand years¡ ha! In Fenglin Continent, how many people can live for ten thousand years?¡±
¡°That¡¯s just wishful thinking!¡±
¡°Our Tianmen Cult¡¯s four True Methods of Nascent Soul¡¯s Dao all directly point to the supreme Dharma of Nascent Soul.¡±
¡°Unfortunately, at my stage, I came to understand the limitations of these four True Methods.¡±
¡°Limitations?¡±
Lu Yuansheng curiously inquired.
This was the first time he¡¯d heard Ning Daohuan talk about Nascent Soul¡¯s Dao.
And Ning Daohuan, in his rare state of openness, exined with a sigh,
¡°The four True Methods indeed point to the wonderful way of Nascent Soul¡¯s Dao.¡±
¡°But let¡¯s not beat around the bush, it treads the path of Demon Dao, taking lives of others for personal gain, sacrificing the world to benefit oneself.¡±
¡°It has quick momentum, great power, bizarre techniques, and is beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.¡±
¡°But since every gain involves a loss, these advantages be disadvantages after reaching the Golden Core stage.¡±
¡°The difficulty of cultivation progress bes insurmountable.¡±
¡°Therefore, despite our Sect having twenty Golden Cores, there is only one Nascent Soul cultivator, me.¡±
¡°With my talent, even after reaching the early stage of Nascent Soul, I¡¯ve already exhausted everything. I fear it¡¯ll be too difficult to advance any further in my remaining eight hundred years.¡±
¡°Perhaps, this is my fate!¡±
Upon hearing Ning Daohuan¡¯s words, Lu Yuansheng was truly taken aback.
This was the first time he¡¯d heard Ning Daohuan share these secrets so openly with him.
And for the first time, he became aware of the major drawbacks of Tianmen Cult¡¯s cultivation methods.
Chapter 297: 68: Turning Demons into Virtue_2
Chapter 297: Chapter 68: Turning Demons into Virtue_2
Even the likes of Ning Daohuan, whom he regarded as unparalleled in talent, dared not harbor any further ambitions.
At this thought, a wave of heaviness washed over Lu Yuansheng.
At such a young age, he had already stepped into the Golden Core stage, harboring the thought of attaining the Nascent Soul Realm in his heart from the very beginning.
But hearing this sort of news now made it quite difficult for him to ept.
¡°However¡¡±
Ning Daohuan paused.
He strolled a few steps, stood with his hands sped behind his back, gazing down at the endless darkness beneath the statue.
In his gaze, however, there was a flicker of ambition, hidden deep within yet unable to bepletely concealed.
¡°I, for one, do not believe in predestination!¡±
¡°If the Demon Dao is not the way, then I will opt for the Righteous Dao!¡±
¡°Change from Demon to Righteous!¡±
The words weren¡¯t loud, but they echoed like thunder in the ears!
Lu Yuansheng stared at Ning Daohuan¡¯s back, momentarily frozen in ce.
¡°Heh, you must be wondering why I¡¯m going to such lengths to bring down Pang Xiao of the Mountain Sea Sect, right?¡±
Ning Daohuan suddenly pointed at the corpse in the palm of the statue andughed.
Lu Yuansheng nodded subconsciously.
But immediately, he seemed to realize something, and a hint of shock shed in his eyes.
¡°The Sect Hierarch seeks to¡ rece him¡¡±
¡°Exactly! You caught on quickly!¡±
Ning Daohuan nodded appreciatively at Lu Yuansheng.
¡°The Path of Body Cultivation is the only Righteous Dao body that can amodate the Demon Dao! However, Body Cultivators are extremely rare in the Fenglin Continent. I have tread across several states of the Chu Dynasty without finding a single one, except here in the Chen State, where I found the Mountain Sea Sect.¡±
¡°Unfortunately, the most suitable Pang Xiao, despite having a bodyparable to a Nascent Soul, still couldn¡¯t bear my Nascent Soul. I waited a long time and even deliberately gave him a top-grade treasure for cultivating the physical body. With it, he was able to smoothly step into the Nascent Soul Realm and his body, under the tempering of the Heavenly Tribtion, underwent a transformation.¡±
Ning Daohuan sighed, ¡°But, all the hard work was worth it!¡±
Lu Yuansheng listened to Ning Daohuan¡¯s words without any surprise on his face.
Because he had personally taken part in quite a few of these steps.
For instance, giving Pang Xiao the priceless treasure was a n he personally participated in.
However, he didn¡¯t know Ning Daohuan¡¯s objective at the time. Now thinking about it, Ning Daohuan had clearly calcted that as soon as Pang Xiao got the treasure, he would immediately begin cultivating, leading to Crossing Tribtion.
And the timing of tribtion matched almost perfectly with this war Ning Daohuan embarked on.
It could be said, Ning Daohuan almost wlessly predicted the reactions of all parties in this war.
And responded equally wlessly to them.
The only blotch was probably those Golden Core Elders who were killed by people from the five sects.
These elders were all seasoned Golden Cores, with powerful abilities.
If they hadn¡¯t exhausted so much Mana trying to help Ning Daohuan restrain Pang Xiao, became unresponsive and failed to avoid a direct confrontation, they wouldn¡¯t have been killed on the spot.
But sometimes, that¡¯s just the way it is. There¡¯s no one to me for destiny.
¡°So, you should know why I called you here this time, right?¡±
Ning Daohuan turned around, facing Lu Yuansheng.
Lu Yuansheng felt a shiver run down his spine, and had a vague idea of what Ning Daohuan meant.
¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m leaving the East Saint stronghold in your hands. You must hold up against thebined onught of the five sects of Chen State and the Incense Fire Dao, no matter what.¡±
¡°At least, you need to give me half a year!¡±
¡°In half a year, I should be able to fullyplete the transformation from Demon to Righteous.¡±
Ning Daohuan was staring at Lu Yuansheng, his seemingly gentle eyes hiding a sharp edge.
Lu Yuansheng didn¡¯t dare to meet his gaze and quickly lowered his head.
¡°Your disciple understands!¡±
¡°Your disciple will defend the East Saint stronghold at the cost of his life!¡±
¡°Hmm, that¡¯s good. If really necessary, you can give up the outer area, but Fanming must be well-guarded!¡±
Ning Daohuan nodded slightly, then again advised seriously.
¡°Yes! Hierarch, rest assured, unless I die, I will ensure the safety of Fanming!¡±
¡°Then, this disciple will take his leave.¡±
¡°Hmm, go ahead.¡±
Ning Daohuan nodded.
Then he watched as Lu Yuansheng slowly descended from the statue and strode into the Teleportation Array, soon vanishing into the light.
Not long after Lu Yuansheng left,
A dark shadow quietly appeared behind Ning Daohuan.
¡°Master.¡±
Ning Daohuan didn¡¯t turn around, gazing into the distance with his hands behind his back.
The warmth, generosity, and ambition he had shown earlier had unconsciously faded away, leaving nothing in his eyes but a hint of cold indifference.
¡°Who has hemunicated with after he attained the Golden Core?¡±
¡°The five Golden Cores, Elder Jing, Elder Bei¡¡±
¡°Foundation establishment, eighty-four people, Zhang Xi, Zhu Ziji, Yan Yun¡ Yan Chi, Dong Qiyu¡ Wang Ba¡¡±
¡°Qi refining, three people¡¡±
The shadow seemed to have no emotion, listing them one by one.
However, Ning Daohuan did not interrupt, but meticulously considered each individual in his mind.
Then he asked:
¡°Who are the potential problems?¡±
¡°Wu Yeshan¡ Dong Qiyu¡ Wang Ba, Zhu Yushi.¡±
Hearing these names, Ning Daohuan reflected on each person again.
¡°Dong Qiyu¡ what a pity.¡±
Ning Daohuan shook his head, then focused on the name ¡®Wang Ba¡¯:
¡°I am familiar with this man, he excels in breeding Spirit Chickens. He reported to me before. Where is the problem with this person?¡±
¡°This person once bribed him with a ss II top grade Spirit Chicken.¡±
The shadow replied, without any hint of emotion.
¡°Did this person seed?¡±
¡°He should have, his Daopanion was able to remain in the station during the previous mission.¡±
The shadow answered.
Hearing this, Ning Daohuan slowly rubbed his fingers, lost in deep thought.
¡°A ss II top grade Spirit Chicken¡ this disciple hasn¡¯t been in Foundation Establishment for too long, right?¡±
¡°Yes, it hasn¡¯t been two years since the establishment of his foundation.¡±
¡°Well, his talent isn¡¯t too bad, probably even higher than Yan Chi from Talisman Dao.¡±
Without any hesitation, Ning Daohuan continued:
¡°Let¡¯s keep this person. Right, about Zhu Yushi¡¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
The shadow responded, again without any hint of emotion.
¡°Uh-huh, okay, go back now. After all, you¡¯re only at Foundation Establishment. Don¡¯t let them get suspicious.¡±
Ning Daohuan said indifferently.
¡°Yes.¡±
The shadow slowly turned and vanished into the darkness.
Meanwhile¡
At the East Saint station.
Bai Yu slowly opened his eyes, his gaze devoid of all emotion.
¡
Wang Ba stared at the figure before him, seemingly lost in a dream.
He didn¡¯t dare speak.
For fear that once he did, the dream would end.
Just then, the delicate shadow in front of him waved her hand wrapped in a towel, looking confused.
¡°Senior Brother, Senior Brother?¡±
Bu Chan¡¯s face was full of confusion, but before she could react, Wang Ba suddenly rushed over and held her tightly in his embrace.
Bu Chan was caught off guard and found herself held tightly. Her face turned bright red.
She quickly looked around, only to see that some cultivators around them were observing Wang Ba¡¯s surprising act, with a mix of goodwill and disdain¡
¡°Senior Brother! Senior Brother! There are people around¡¡±
Bu Chan struggled to raise her hand, trying to break free.
However, she quickly realized something and couldn¡¯t help but look up at Wang Ba.
What she saw was their usually calm Senior Brother.
At this moment, looking at her, his eyes were somewhat moist.
¡°Senior Brother¡¡±
At this moment, Bu Chan felt her heart twisting.
She tenderly raised her hand, cupping her Senior Brother¡¯s face.
Hiding his moment of vulnerability from others.
Then she ignored all the curious nces from the people around, hugged her Senior Brother tightly.
Feeling his warmth, his heartbeat.
And his mumbling.
¡°As long as you¡¯re here, it¡¯s alright.¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright as long as you¡¯re here.¡±
¡°Senior Brother, I¡¯m here, I¡¯ve always been here.¡±
Patting Wang Ba¡¯s back, as ifforting a child, Bu Chan gently said.
At this moment, the whole world fell silent.
Chapter 298: 69 Punishment_1
Chapter 298: Chapter 69 Punishment_1
¡°Did you go to Jiantao Station purely to cultivate this Hundred Fragrance Wax?¡±
Wang Ba gently pinched a piece of pale yellow transparent bee wax. Through the sunlight, one could vaguely see a few impurities within.
Bu Chan nodded her head.
Looking at Wang Ba, her eyes were full of concern.
She had already learned about it from Shen Fu.
She couldpletely sympathize with Wang Ba¡¯s feelings.
On the other hand, if something were to happen to Wang Ba, she suspected she would have a hard time surviving.
One can imagine how Wang Ba was feeling then.
Naturally, she was even more worried for Wang Ba.
Besides feeling empathetic, she was also somewhat afraid in hindsight.
If it had not been for her previous trip to Jiantao Station to cultivate the appropriate Hundred Fragrance Wax, and finding a suitable location there specifically for the cultivation of Fragrance Bees.
She, at this moment, might have already turned into dust during the previous attack on the station by the five great ns.
Hearing Wang Ba¡¯s question, Bu Chan hurriedly said, ¡°This is the first batch. Later on, I will select more flower species, and the quality should be able to be further improved.¡±
¡°No, this is enough.¡±
With Bu Chan safe, Wang Ba¡¯s thoughts naturally returned to the most important matter at hand.
Looking at the Hundred Fragrance Wax in his hand, he shook his head and said:
¡°There¡¯s no need to improve the quality. This quality is already excellent. A little more, and it should be enough.¡±
Bu Chan kept Wang Ba¡¯s words in mind. She originally nned to rush back to Jiantao Station to cultivate the Fragrance Bees while the teleportation array was still operating. Unexpectedly, she was quickly conscripted by the Foundation Establishment Cultivator stationed there.
¡°This Daoist brother, can she be assigned under me?¡±
Wang Ba took out a bag of middle grade Spirit Stones and covertly handed it over.
As a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Wang Ba naturally could conscript Qi Refining Cultivators to work for him.
¡°Alright, go, go!¡±
The Foundation Establishment Cultivator in charge of the assignments took a nce at Wang Ba. Being a fellow Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he didn¡¯t want to offend someone for no reason, so he conveniently assigned Bu Chan to Wang Ba.
Wang Ba also took on a task of reconstructing the pce and gathering earth and stones, which he casually finished.
As long as one is still in the Tianmen Cult, it¡¯s impossible to not work.
He simply took advantage of the privileges of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator and picked an easy task.
Not long after.
Suddenly, a Golden Core Master descended from the sky.
The person was dressed in a red-ck robe, his face carried a hint of grimness,bined with the ominous and eerie glimmers in his eyes, it sent shivers down one¡¯s spine.
The cultivators didn¡¯t dare to speak much, and just buried their heads in their work.
However, this Golden Core Master spoke up.
¡°I am ¡®Yusha¡¯, an elder of the Soul Dao.¡±
Wang Ba who was working paused in his tracks.
The cultivators around also stopped their tasks, their gazes nervously and fearfully watched this Soul Dao elder.
The Soul Dao holds a highly esteemed status in the sect.
The reason is simple, cultivators of this Dao hold the aura of all the cultivators except the Golden Core Masters in the sect.
Within the sect, they are responsible for overseeing everypulsory task and conscription. Those heresy cultivators who have exhausted three opportunities and have not participated will be found out.
As soon as they are discovered, the Dead Curse will be implemented.
But in reality, not just the heresy cultivators, the vast majority of cultivators within the sect are also within their supervisory range.
However, for internal cultivators, they do not hold the power over life and death, and must report to the upper echelons before they can carry out their duties.
Despite this, most cultivators feel quite apprehensive when facing the Soul Dao.
But at this moment, as a Golden Core Master, shouldn¡¯t he be heading to Zhongyuan City to continue the confrontation with the five great ns and the Incense Fire Dao?
Wang Ba couldn¡¯t help but feel a hint of doubt in his heart.
Master Yusha, with his ominous gaze, scanned the crowd, revealing a coldplexion:
¡°This time, our Sect has opened warfare with the five great ns and the Incense Fire Dao simultaneously. There are people who are not firm of heart, wanting to abandon our Sect and leave.¡±
¡°So as to avoid such treacherous actions bringing a negative influence to everyone, I carry the Sect Hierarch¡¯s order. I, Elder Yusha, will publicly carry out the Dead Curse, condemning these traitors who have betrayed our Sect.¡±
Wang Ba couldn¡¯t help but feel a slight tightness in his heart.
The cultivators surrounding instantly fell silent. Some with lesser mental fortitude even couldn¡¯t help but nce at their own Heavenly Gate Order briefly, to confirm they hadn¡¯t vited any rules of the Tianmen Cult, before letting out a sigh of relief.
Upon finishing his speech, Master Yusha swung his sleeve.
A high-tform magic jar flew out of his sleeve, growing as it met the wind, eventuallynding heavily in front of the newly restored pce.
It stirred up a wave of dust.
The surrounding cultivators instinctively stepped back a few paces.
Their gazes were wary as they looked at the high tform.
Yusha, on the other hand, took a step forth,nding on the high tform.
Immediately, he spread out his palm, bamboo sticks each radiating an aura of soul hung leisurely in the air.
There were countless bamboo sticks, as many as several thousand!
¡°It¡¯s the Spirit Sending Sign!¡±
Someone whispered under their breath.
Wang Ba¡¯s gaze was firmly fixed on these bamboo sticks.
Among them, he unmistakably detected his, Bu Chan¡¯s, and Shen Fu¡¯s auras.
In his eyes, there was an involuntary urge to destroy them!
It was precisely these items that bound them to the Tianmen Cult, surviving and perishing together.
However, his rational side made him restrain himself.
Not only because the handler of the Spirit Sending Signs in front of him was a Golden Core Master, and even if he wanted to destroy them, he wouldn¡¯t be able to.
More importantly, these Spirit Sending Signs actually existed in duplicates. The other copy was in the hands of the Sect Hierarch of the Tianmen Cult, Ning Daohuan, who had the highest cultivation base.
Chapter 299: 69 Punishment_2
Chapter 299: Chapter 69 Punishment_2
Even though he could destroy what was before him, once Ning Daohuan found out, it would surely result in his death.
Yusha stepped in a gait simr to Yu Step, muttering incantations.
Quickly, from the plethora of Spirit Sending Signs, eight bamboo sticks flew out abruptly.
Those present were all cultivators, undeniably sharp in their senses to immediately notice the gilded names carved on the bamboo sticks.
¡°An Tang, Zhao Zhijin, Su Wanqi¡¡±
¡°He actually fled too? No wonder we didn¡¯t see him upon return, I thought he was dead¡±
¡°Su Wanqi? How could it be him? He is usually kind and honest, who would imagine he could have such courage? Did we get it wrong? Could he possibly be trapped outside and unable to return?¡±
¡°Indeed, Zhang Laoshi isn¡¯t like that, could it be a mistake?¡±
Seeing these names, most of the familiar cultivators revealed an incredulous look.
It was clear that they found it hard to believe that these people could have such audacity.
Only a handful of their familiar brethren evaluated the situation consistently, expressing no surprise at their defection from the Tianmen Cult.
Wang Ba, Bu Chan, and Shen Fu remained silent.
They did not know these people well.
Master Yusha, upon hearing the whispers of doubt from the cultivators below, did not react in anger.
His voice carried a chilly tone:
¡°Would those nning to betray our Sect disy such intent openly? They would only try their best to conceal it, not letting anyone catch on.¡±
Wang Ba felt a sudden chill in his heart, sensing that the remark was directed at him.
Seeing Master Yusha speaking, the cultivators below didn¡¯t dare to say much and shut their mouths.
As for what they were thinking, only they knew.
Master Yusha took in all the reactions from the crowd, following which he sneered coldly and shouted abruptly:
¡°Get them!¡±
In an instant,
The soul aura abruptly detached from the eight Spirit Sending Sticks, flickering!
Simultaneously, beside the first Spirit Sending Stick, a water mirror suddenly ascended.
Within the water mirror, one could vaguely make out what appears to be a scar-faced Qi Refining Stage cultivator, treading effortlessly through the snow.
¡°It¡¯s An Tang!¡±
Someone who recognized him couldn¡¯t help but exim.
¡°Where is he? This doesn¡¯t look like Chen State, does it?¡±
The one who answered was Master Yusha.
He chuckled coldly:
¡°Of course it¡¯s not Chen State. He headed north and should be already within the borders of Ye State by now.¡±
¡°Ha, he probably thinks that he has escaped our Sect, feeling quite sessful¡¡±
The cultivators below did not say a word.
Indeed, based on what they saw in the water mirror, it seemed like it was so.
This An Tang was leisurely racing through the snowy ins, even dropping down from his flying Magic Tool to hunt a few snow rabbits, seemingly wanting to feast on them.
There was not a bit of nervousness in his defection.
Seeing this, the surrounding cultivators were at a loss for words for the moment.
¡°Heh!¡±
Master Yusha sneered, quickly closing his eyes to chant a spell.
Shortly, a dark light immediately flew out, enveloping the flickering soul aura of An Tang on the Spirit Sending Sign.
Next moment.
Within the water mirror,
An Tang, who was skinning a snow rabbit, suddenly shivered.
He seemed to sense that something was wrong, immediately standing up instinctively and looking down.
Then, an intense shock and fear uncontrobly filled his eyes!
Where his gaze fell, the flesh of his body was peeling away as effortlessly as umted snow on a roof¡
¡°Ah¡ª¡ª¡±
This Qi Refining cultivator let out a terrified cry like any mortal would.
But quick enough, he couldn¡¯t even make such a sound as his throat dropped from his neck, his face rapidly losing his flesh.
Yet, what made the cultivators who watched this scene even more terrified was the fact that even though An Tang was almost reduced to a skeleton¡
He was not dead yet!
¡°He will remain alive for another month.¡±
There was a hint of excitement shing in Master Yusha¡¯s eyes.
¡°When all his flesh falls off, flesh will regrow from his bones.¡±
¡°Then, it will fall off again.¡±
¡°Every day, a cycle, for thirty days. During this period, he will remain absolutely conscious, his five senses will be more acute than ever before.¡±
¡°He won¡¯t even be able to die, as his bones are now soft, he can¡¯t even harm himself.¡±
As Yusha spoke, his excitement grew, his pride revealed clearly in his voice:
¡°Therefore, this Curse, I call it the ¡®Thirty-days Spell¡¯¡ an inspiration I got from Blood Bone Dao¡¡±
¡°Heh heh, isn¡¯t it interesting? Not only this, I have created many other interesting curses, rest assured, I will have all of you appreciate them one by one.¡±
At this moment.
All the cultivators below were utterly horrified.
Yusha, without hesitation, activated the water mirror next to the second Spirit Sending Sign.
One after another, strange and vicious curses, filled with torment, were revealed to everyone present.
Not one among these eight people met a peaceful end.
The Heresy Cultivators who had witnessed the entire process were deeply instilled with a seed of extreme fear.
Even those with the intention of escaping couldn¡¯t help but waver at this moment.
Death was one thing, but to be tormented to death like this was something no one desired.
Bu Chan was pale faced too, but he tried hard not to reveal any discrepancies.
Wang Ba feigned shock while patting Bu Chan¡¯s back in a calm manner.
For him, this extent of intimidation was nothing.
Chapter 300: 69: Punishment_3
Chapter 300: Chapter 69: Punishment_3
Having studied the ¡®Hundred Lives Defiling Soul Curse¡¯, he was not entirely ignorant about curses.
Such seemingly shy curses actually had moderate power and could only be used on cultivators at the Qi Refining stage.
When encountering a foundation establishment cultivator like himself, the curses either inflict various negative states upon him, or directly attack his soul.
Attempting to act directly on the physical body from a distance was not that simple.
Of course, Wang Ba did not underestimate Master Yusha in the slightest.
With his realm, killing Wang Ba using a curse would still be quite easy.
When Master Yusha sensed the fear among the crowd below, he nodded with satisfaction.
Fear, how great!
If they did not fear, how could the Tianmen Cult rule over them with the Spirit Sending Sign?
But still, he spoke:
¡°Among you, while some have not fled, some have done many things to betray our Sect.¡±
¡°We know very well who these people are.¡±
¡°However, the Sect Hierarch is magnanimous and is willing to give you another chance. Those who voluntarily admit their mistakes are still our sect members, if you do not confess¡ hehe!¡±
The cultivators beneath him looked at each other with suspicion and caution.
But what made Yusha slightly cold was that despite the passage of a long time, no one stepped forward.
¡°Hmph.¡±
Yusha snorted coldly.
¡°I will say no more, don¡¯t me me for not warning you!¡±
Immediately, he put away the magic jar and left with a flick of his sleeve.
The crowd looked at each other in confusion but could only resume their work.
However, they all became noticeably more wary of one another.
After Wang Bapleted the pce construction mission, he immediately found a secluded mountain recess with Bu Chan and Shen Fu, opened up an immortal cave, and began cultivating.
The chicken farm on the shore of South Lake had been leveled, and the spirit field was destroyed due to the overflow of spiritual lineage.
Luckily, the spirit beasts in the chicken farm had already been taken by Wang Ba to Jiantao Station.
The higher-grade ones were always carried on his person.
Since the East Saint Station¡¯s construction was not yetpleted, they couldn¡¯t leave.
Of course, this did not hinder the cultivation of Wang Ba¡¯s Second Dantian.
Since he was already a foundation establishment cultivator, and with the currently ample supply of chicken essence, his Second Dantian, created using ¡®Meteor me Iron¡¯, had average qualification. However, he managed to reach Qi Refining Stage III in just a few days.
¡°Cultivation Method¡¡±
¡°If there¡¯s a matching method for the ¡®Gold Fire¡¯ suitable for the Second Dantian, and if the cultivation method¡¯s stage is higher, maybe the speed could be faster.¡±
Feeling the slowly rotating mana in his Second Dantian, Wang Ba shook his head slightly.
He¡¯d been distressed about not having a good cultivation method for a long time.
Wang Ba had been searching for better cultivation methods.
He¡¯d unfortunately looked at quite a few in the Nichang Ghost Market and Linglong Ghost Market but none appealed to him.
Those suitable for gold and fire styles were many but mostlymon.
¡°It¡¯s a pity I can¡¯t go to Jiantao Station now, otherwise I could look in the Linglong Ghost Market.¡±
Wang Ba felt a slight regret.
The Linglong Ghost Market on the first floor opens every month, and it happens to be the full moon these two days, which is when the Ghost Market opens.
¡°I wonder when we¡¯ll be allowed to go to other stations.¡±
Wang Ba sighed.
Not long afterward.
When he received another task notification and had to go to the square, he was stunned by what he saw.
Five corpses were hung high in the center of the square, the most conspicuous ce.
One of them was Wang Ba¡¯s acquaintance.
Wearing a white Daoist robe stained with dust and blood, footprints were even visible.
His previously moon-like face and starry eyes now showed anger and violence.
¡°Dong Qiyu¡¡±
Wang Ba sighed silently.
But he wasn¡¯t too surprised.
He had foreseen the man¡¯s end long ago, and had always tried to avoid tangling with him.
¡°These people betrayed the secrets of our Sect, gave them to the leftover evil of the East Saint Sect, and even secretly supplied them with resources! They deserve to die! The Sect Hierarch is merciful and promised to spare those who confessed. But they remained stubborn.¡±
In the middle of the square, a Heresy Cultivator angrilyshed out at the five corpses.
Wang Ba recognized him. It was Jing Kuang.
Now his aura was also at the foundation establishment realm.
Wang Ba kept silent for a while,pleted the task, and left alone.
However, not long after he began walking, he was stopped by a figure that had suddenlye flying.
¡°Bai, Brother Bai?¡±
Wang Ba looked at the cultivator in front of him, whose skin and flesh looked almost human, and couldn¡¯t help but express surprise.
If it weren¡¯t for the man¡¯s aura, he wouldn¡¯t have recognized him.
Bai Yu nodded at Wang Ba with a smile.
Then he said something that made Wang Ba¡¯s heart tighten.
¡°Elder Lu wants to see you.¡±
Chapter 301: 70: The Final Trade_1
Chapter 301: Chapter 70: The Final Trade_1
At this moment, Lu Yuansheng was not at the East Saint¡¯s station.
However, Wang Ba was puzzled, because the direction Bai Yu was flying him was not towards Zhongyuan City either.
Wang Ba observed Bai Yu¡¯s figure, with his gaze flickering uncontrobly.
He could not help but feel a sense of caution in his heart.
His mana silently circted, ready to unleash the Five Elements Spell at any time.
Even though he and Bai Yu were quite familiar, even with considerable care.
But his heart was always vignt, Wang Ba was always careful not to forget this.
Over the years, he had seen too much of the duplicity that was one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes.
However, soon enough-
Bai Yu slowed down andnded in front of a waterfall.
On a high tform in front of the waterfall, there were two figures sitting on both sides of a stone tform, facing each other in a game.
One of them, with a handsome face, was naturally Lu Yuansheng.
The other one, who seemed familiar to Wang Ba, quickly came to his senses.
This person was Cheng Shu, who had been able to cultivate a ss II top-grade Spirit Chicken.
Wang Ba didn¡¯t have much interaction with Cheng Shu, he had just asionally met him when he had met Lu Yuansheng before.
However, he always aspired to be like Cheng Shu.
Unlike him who mostly cultivated Spirit Chickens through means of Lifespan Breakthroughs, Cheng Shu had genuinely done it on his own.
For talents, Wang Ba always had deep respect.
However, since Lu Yuansheng was still there, he didn¡¯t dare to overstep his bounds and followed Bai Yu respectfully to their side.
The two were ying something simr to Go, which Wang Ba didn¡¯t understand much, he just stood by and watched.
However, the two ying the game were quite engrossed.
Clearly, Cheng Shu was superior at it. In no time, all of Lu Yuansheng¡¯s pieces on the board were surrounded and immobile.
Lu Yuansheng frowned and thought for a while, and eventually shook his head, casually threw down his own piece.
With a look of helplessness:
¡°It seems I have lost this round.¡±
¡°Cheng, your game skills have improved again!¡±
Upon hearing this, Cheng Shu was quick to be modest, ¡°Not at all. Elder has just not been focusing on the game.¡±
Lu Yuansheng simply smiled without saying anything, and then as if he just noticed Wang Ba, looked surprised:
¡°Huh, Wang Ba, when did you get here?¡±
¡°Just now, just now.¡±
Wang Ba quickly bowed,ughing embarrassedly.
Inwardly, he had no choice but to be speechless at Lu Yuansheng¡¯s pretense.
As a Golden Core cultivator, could anyone really hide from his perception?
He also didn¡¯t understand the intention behind this pretension.
Lu Yuansheng, unaware of Wang Ba¡¯s thoughts, pointed at Wang Ba and said to Cheng Shu with a smile:
¡°Hehe, Cheng,e, let me introduce you. This is Wang Ba. He¡¯s young, but he¡¯s also cultivated a ss II top-grade Spirit Chicken in about the same time as you. He¡¯s a rare young talent of our Tianmen Cult. You two should certainly get to know each other better.¡±
Upon hearing Lu Yuansheng¡¯s words, Cheng Shu was momentarily stunned and looked at Wang Ba with some surprise.
However, inside of him he felt somewhat uneasy.
Coughing awkwardly he said:
¡°Ahem, it turns out to be Brother Wang. I apologize for my ignorance.¡±
¡°Not at all, your ability to cultivate Spirit Chickens is well known and greatly admired by me. If there is an opportunity, I hope you can give me some guidance!¡±
Wang Ba also quickly returned the salute and expressed his goodwill towards him.
However, he wasn¡¯t sure if it was an illusion, but he felt his gaze avoiding eye contact, like he didn¡¯t dare to look at him directly.
¡°Must be my imagination.¡±
Wang Ba thought in his heart.
Meanwhile, Lu Yuansheng smiled and nced at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu understood the hint and promptly departed.
Seeing Bai Yu leaving, Lu Yuansheng casually picked up a ck piece and started ying with it before getting straight to the point:
¡°The reason I called you two here is simple. To deal with the remnants of the East Saint Sect, we need to cultivate a third ss Spirit Chicken that can bear the divine beast of Fanming.¡±
¡°I want to ask both of you, is it possible to achieve this within half a year?¡±
¡°Half a year?¡±
The two men who heard Lu Yuansheng¡¯s question both couldn¡¯t help but exim in astonishment.
The reactions of Cheng Shu and Wang Ba were not the same.
Cheng Shu¡¯s face was filled with the disbelief while Wang Ba was serious.
Undisturbed, Lu Yuansheng nced over their reactions and inquired:
¡°What, is there a difficulty?¡±
He turned his gaze to Cheng Shu: ¡°Cheng, what do you think, is it possible to cultivate a ss III Spirit Chicken in half a year?¡±
¡°Absolutely not!¡±
Cheng Shu decisively dered.
Even though his ability to cultivate Spirit Chickens included quite a lot of shortcuts, he had a solid grasp on the basic knowledge.
ss III and ss II arepletely different realms. Wanting to cultivate a ss II top grade Spirit Chicken to ss III is as hard as a triple Spiritual Root Foundation Establishment practitioner advancing to the Golden Core Realm.
The chances of sess are one in ten thousand.
Configuring and adjusting various spirit materials and Spiritual Medicine alone requires a lot of time for trials.
In just a short half year, it was impossible!
So even if he felt very uneasy now, he was more brazen, calm, and confident than ever before.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuansheng chuckled, suddenly stood up, and astonishingly like a man of valour of the mortal world, he abruptly picked up the Mysterious Iron Go board on the stone tform and smashed it fiercely towards Cheng Shu who hadn¡¯t reacted yet!
Cheng Shu had wide eyes and a dumbfounded look on his face, without any chance to react.
The Mysterious Iron Go board had already heavily smashed into his head.
Under the suppression of the Golden Core mana, in just a few hits, Cheng Shu, as if he was just a mortal, was beaten into silence.
¡°Bang!¡±
The Mysterious Iron Go board was thrown to the ground.
Shattered rocks scattered in all directions.
¡°Sigh¡ª¡ª¡±
Lu Yuansheng took a long breath, then straightened his sleeves and tucked a strand of hair behind his ear.
Chapter 302: 70: The Final Deal_2
Chapter 302: Chapter 70: The Final Deal_2
He couldn¡¯t help but spit on Cheng Shu¡¯s body again, totally without the decorum and restraint you¡¯d expect from a Golden Core cultivator.
He turned around instantly, and on seeing the dumbfounded look on Wang Ba¡¯s face, he put on a warm smile and said softly:
¡°Hehe, don¡¯t be afraid. This fellow secretly revealed our Sect¡¯s secrets to the remnants of the East Saint Sect, causing us to suffer heavy losses. He thought I didn¡¯t know, so I had no choice but to personally kill him.¡±
¡°But you haven¡¯t done anything to betray our Tianmen Cult, right? So rest assured.¡±
The tone was incongruously reassuring, although it was hard to tell whether he deliberately or inadvertently stressed the words ¡®rest assured¡¯.
Wang Ba had been dumbstruck since Lu Yuansheng suddenlyshed out and killed someone earlier.
Gazing at thepletely unrecognizable, bloodied skull of Cheng Shu, he felt his mouth dry and a chill run down his spine.
As for this Lu Yuansheng, he couldn¡¯t glean the man¡¯s true intentions at all. His thoughts and actions were fundamentally different from normal people.
They had just been talking, then suddenly he flew into a violent rage and killed someone, and in such a humiliating way, literally pounding a Foundation Establishment Competitor to death!
The reasons seemed logical.
But the timing and manner of his action imbued everything with a sense of eeriness.
This unpredictable, emotionally vtile character was precisely the type Wang Ba loathed to deal with.
But he had no choice, he had met one.
And after killing Cheng Shu, Lu Yuansheng cheerfully returned to his stone seat.
He waved his hand, bringing a stone bench up behind Wang Ba.
¡°Sit. Would you like some spirit fruit from the Golden Rainbow Lands?¡±
Lu Yuansheng said, pushing a fruit te towards Wang Ba.
Wang Ba felt extremely torn.
Take the fruit, and Lu Yuansheng might kill him instantly for disrespecting the hierarchy.
But if he didn¡¯t take it, Lu Yuansheng might kill him for disobedience.
A fleeting idea struck him, and with a clench of his teeth, Wang Ba reached out and said:
¡°I¡¯m just a durd begging for the Elder¡¯s clear instruction! I will do whatever you instruct without question!¡±
Lu Yuansheng proceeded to pick up a spirit fruit, took a slight bite, and juice overflowed.
However, he spat it out immediately.
His handsome face was filled with disgust.
He didn¡¯t look at Wang Ba, but instead at the fruit in his hand, as if it held the mysteries of nature.
¡°I once asked you to breed a ss III Spirit Chicken within nine years, but things have changed. I want it in half a year now.¡±
¡°So, the question is, can you breed a ss III Spirit Chicken within half a year?¡± Lu Yuansheng asked gloomily.
Hearing this, Wang Ba heaved a sigh of relief.
Just as I suspected!
I made the correct call!
This Lu Yuansheng is probably staging this whole spectacle to intimidate me into trying my best to breed the Spirit Chicken.
Once Wang Ba fathomed Lu Yuansheng¡¯s motive, he understood everything immediately.
Likely, all the posturing was for this very moment.
Thoughts swirled around Wang Ba¡¯s head, but on his face he donned an expression of hesitation, and then he bit his lip and said:
¡°There¡¯s a chance I could breed a ss III Spirit Chicken in half a year, but it¡¯s small. If you could extend the deadline to two years, and provide me with what I need, I¡¯ll have a 90% sess rate!¡±
¡°One year at most. I¡¯ll do everything I can to obtain the resources you require!¡±
Lu Yuansheng¡¯s gaze finally shifted from the spirit fruit to Wang Ba. Seeing the domineering look in Lu Yuansheng¡¯s eyes, and his overwhelming urgency for a ss III Spirit Chicken, Wang Ba said decisively:
¡°One year¡ Alright then! I must make one thing clear, I need certain items for this task. You must not pry, and you must fulfill my requirements!¡±
¡°Otherwise, even if you kill me now, I won¡¯t have anything to say about it!¡± Wang Ba said through the gritted teeth.
At Wang Ba¡¯s words, Lu Yuansheng narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold light wept from the slits.
But to Wang Ba¡¯s relief, in the end, Lu Yuansheng nodded his head.
¡°Business as usual. What do you need then?¡±
¡°A Gold Fire Dual Method or a Cultivation Method which includes all Five Elements would both be eptable, and it needs to have a very fast cultivation speed primacy. All the other considerations can be secondary.¡±
¡°A Gold Fire Dual Method?¡±
Lu Yuansheng stared at Wang Ba, a flicker of menacing light in his eyes. ¡°How does a Cultivation Method rte to breeding Spirit Chickens?¡±
Wang Ba replied, his gaze briefly flitted to Cheng Shu, who by now was undeniably dead, and he felt a surge of confidence:
¡°Didn¡¯t the Elder promise not to question me?¡±
¡°Even if I tell you, it won¡¯t matter. If a ss II Spirit Chicken is to ascend to ss III, it¡¯s necessary to meticulously investigate which Style its bloodline leans towards. Further, it needs different spirit materials or Spiritual Medicine for different cases¡ The Gold Fire Attribute Technique is to help me better sense and guide the Spirit Chicken¡¯s bloodline¡¡±
Wang Ba fabricated a whole lot of details.
He wasn¡¯t afraid anyone would reveal his lies.
After all, Cheng Shu had been killed by Lu Yuansheng; besides Cheng Shu, Wang Ba didn¡¯t fear anyone in the Tianmen Cult.
At this point, he was the ultimate authority in the breeding of Spirit Chickens in the Tianmen Cult.
Listening to all of this, Lu Yuansheng felt his head be muddled.
He was an absolute genius when it came tobat, the Dao of Cultivation, and even scheming and calcting.
But he had no talent for the Hundred Arts of cultivators.
Chapter 303: 70: The Final Trade_3
Chapter 303: Chapter 70: The Final Trade_3
Hearing Wang Ba bbering, he pondered for a moment and actually found it quite reasonable.
He even vaguely felt this was the thought process of a beast-controlling genius, indeed clear and straightforward, definitely not something Cheng Shu could match.
And in his heart, he was even more confident about Wang Ban being able to cultivate a ss III Spirit Chicken.
He immediately noted down all of Wang Ba¡¯s requirements.
However, he couldn¡¯t help but frown at some of Wang Ba¡¯s demands.
What does he need so many spirit beasts for just to raise a Spirit Chicken?
And a huge amount of Qi Refining Realm elixirs, what is the reason for that?
Is the Spirit Chicken supposed to eat elixirs?
But recalling Wang Ba¡¯s eloquent exnation about beast controlling, he hesitated a bit and chose to believe him.
Even if he didn¡¯t believe it, he had no other choice. This was probably his only chance.
¡°This will be thest time I trade with him.¡±
Lu Yuansheng¡¯s eyes swept over Wang Ba, who was continuously listing various materials, a hint of coldness shing in his eyes.
¡
Jiantao Station.
Teleportation Array.
A glimmer of light suddenly shed across the silent teleportation array.
Soon enough.
Three figures emerged from the teleportation array.
¡°Senior Brother, where is your territory here in Jiantao Station? I want to see if it¡¯s near.¡±
A delicate voice rang out.
¡°You will know when you get there.¡±
A gentle man answered with a smile.
It was Wang Ba, Bu Chan, and Shen Fu.
Soon, under the guidance of Wang Ba, Bu Chan and Shen Fu arrived at Wang Ba¡¯s territory on the outskirts of Jiantao Station.
When Bu Chan saw the little wooden house in the territory, just like the one by South Lake, and many Spirit Chickens and Spirit Turtles, she promptly entered with delight.
Shen Fu was about to find a ce for covert cultivation, but he was stopped by Wang Ba.
¡°Shen Fu, junior sister, you guyse over here.¡±
Wang Ba opened the formation of the territory directly.
He then set up several Shielding Talismans around the area.
Afterward, he sent out spirit beasts to patrol the surrounding area.
Only then did he feel relieved.
Seeing Wang Ba act so prudently, both Shen Fu and Bu Chan appeared to sense something and gathered at Wang Ba¡¯s side with serious expressions.
Wang Ba didn¡¯t hesitate and did everything he could to condense the true meaning of the Chaotic Yuan Method within two nk Jade Slip, which he then handed over to Bu Chan and Shen Fu.
¡°What is this¡?¡±
Shen Fu asked curiously.
¡°The Chaotic Yuan Method, it can open up a Second Dantian.¡±
¡°By letting the Yin Devouring Insect reside in the Second Dantian, one can sessfully conceal the aura of the soul.¡±
¡°We can then really¡¡±
Wang Ba was in no mood for suspense.
With only a year left, he is having all three of them hide their aura within this time.
He had a premonition that once he finished cultivating the ss III Spirit Chicken, Lu Yuansheng would still try to make a move against him.
In this case, he must be ready to flee Tianmen Cult immediately after the transaction ispleted.
That was his original n.
Only he didn¡¯t expect it to be so urgent.
Among the three of them, Bu Chan had the easiest task.
She was in the eighth stage of Qi Refining. Her second Dantian only needed to be of the eighth stage of Qi Refining to amodate the Child Insect. Once the Child Insect grew a little more, it should be able to easily conceal Bu Chan¡¯s aura.
Both Shen Fu and he were at the Foundation Establishment Realm, thus to hide sessfully, it would be quite tricky.
They both probably needed to cultivate their Second Dantian to Foundation Establishment to achieve this effect.
Having the Second Dantian cultivate to Foundation Establishment within one year was not merely difficult, it was extremely difficult.
However, it was not without hope.
After all, the purpose of the Second Dantian was to hide their aura, so they didn¡¯t need to consider too much and should use all sorts of elixirs and Essences.
Even Demon Dao methods were also eptable.
After all, once he no longer fears the Dead Curse of the Tianmen Cult, he would abandon the Second Dantian.
At that time, he could cultivate it again.
In his trade with Lu Yuansheng, he did not hesitate to demand these resources.
To Wang Ba¡¯s surprise, despite Lu Yuansheng¡¯s visible displeasure, he still agreed.
Which made Wang Ba utter a silentment in his heart.
¡°Is it the Tianmen Cult that values Fanming, or is it Lu Yuansheng himself?¡±
This was ultimately an unanswerable question.
