Chapter 147: Cultivation Is Useless, but There Is No Strength to Match It

Dayan Imperial City, the main entrance of the palace.

"Junior Brother Lu, fortunately you were prepared in advance and came to Junior Brother Mingmiao to report the news."

"Otherwise, it won't be easy for the three of us to deal with so many evil heretics."

Yi Hanqing looked at the large number of Black Lotus believers who had gathered at the main entrance of the palace, and his tone was very helpless.

These Black Lotus cultists are actually not troublesome, because most of their predecessors were ordinary palace maids and eunuchs.

Even if you get the blessing from the Buddha Mother, the increase you get is very limited.

Therefore, even if their number doubled, it would be difficult for them to pose a threat to Yi Hanqing, a top-level foundation-building player.

But what really put pressure on Yi Hanqing was a powerful aura deep in the palace.

The owner of that aura is undoubtedly of the Golden Core stage.

An enemy at the Golden Core stage appears here, which is not good news for Yi Hanqing.

Because although he was sure to persist under Jin Danqi for a period of time, he even escaped from Jin Danqi's hands.

But he couldn't guarantee that Lu Chen and Shangguan Yunmeng around him also had such abilities.

Therefore, after sensing the aura of the golden elixir stage, Yi Hanqing said: "Junior Brother Lu, Junior Sister Shangguan, the situation here is no longer something that you and I can solve."

"I'm here to find a way to hold back that Golden Core monk. You two find an opportunity to leave here first. When other people from the sect arrive, we will take down these crooked ways in one fell swoop."

From a rational point of view, Yi Hanqing's plan is undoubtedly the best.

At least it was the best solution he could think of from his perspective.

It's a pity that Yi Hanqing forgot something.

"Senior Brother Yi, you can't leave. Haven't you noticed the large formation covering the entire imperial city?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Yi Hanqing suddenly reacted.

I saw the black lotus sacrificial formation that had enveloped the entire imperial city at this time.

The effect of this array is actually very simple.

One is isolation, isolating the world inside and outside the formation.

Make it impossible for people outside to come in and people inside unable to get out.

The second is to absorb, absorb the essence and blood of all living creatures that died within the formation, and use this as nourishment to be sacrificed to the Buddha Mother.

This is what the Black Lotus Sacrifice Formation is all about.

And just these two functions can make this big formation make such a big noise.

One can imagine how powerful the two formation effects of this formation are.

Even Lu Chen now, before he has mastered targeted means.

He was not completely sure that he could break through the Black Lotus Sacrificial Formation.

Therefore, there have always been only two roads before them.

One takes the initiative, finds the center of the formation, and then finds a way to destroy it.

The other one is to insist on the support of the sect.

And Lu Chen was ready to grab it with both hands.

Looking at the Imperial Master Zhan Ziyin who was approaching them not far away with a large number of iron-clad blood guards.

Lu Chen sent a message: "Senior Brother Yi, Junior Sister Shangguan, can you hold back this Golden Core Stage monk and the ordinary Foundation Establishment stage puppets around him?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Yi Hanqing was stunned. After thinking for a moment, Chuanyin replied: "If it's just a delay, then I have no problem, but I'm not sure about Junior Sister Shangguan."

"I'm OK."

Shangguan Yunmeng looked at Lu Chen and gave him a firm look.

Although Shangguan Yunmeng looked confused most of the time.

But at critical moments, she was very reliable.

At least in the current scene, Shangguan Yunmeng neither looks like a vase nor wants to be a dragster.

More than a hundred blood guards in the foundation building stage.

Even if these blood guards are not outstanding individually.

But quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. With so many iron guards taking action at the same time, Shangguan Yunmeng was just a monk at the first level of the foundation building stage, let alone Shangguan Yunmeng.

Even some veteran foundation-building monks may not be able to withstand the attacks of so many blood guards.

But these are all based on the fact that Yi Hanqing does not know that Shangguan Yunmeng is a first-grade Dao Immortal Foundation.

If he knew about Shangguan Yunmeng's situation, he wouldn't think so.

Therefore, out of good intentions, Yi Hanqing sent a message and said: "If it doesn't work out, I can help Junior Sister Shangguan resist some more puppet attacks."

"It's just that I'm not sure how long I can last in the hands of that golden elixir."

"unnecessary."

Before Lu Chen could answer, Shangguan Yunmeng looked at Yi Hanqing seriously and replied with a stubborn expression.

If it were normal, the gentle-tempered Yi Hanqing would not argue too much with Shangguan Yunmeng.

But at this ‘critical moment’.

Yi Hanqing felt that as their senior brother, even if Shangguan Yunmeng was not from his sect, he had the obligation to take them out safely.

Therefore, Yi Hanqing used a rare serious tone and sent a message to Shangguan Yunmeng: "Junior Sister Yunmeng, reality is not about talking about Taoism. Even if you have outstanding swordsmanship, there are too many factors that can affect the outcome in reality, so don't show off."

Unexpectedly, before Shangguan Yunmeng could answer this time, Lu Chen answered for her first.

"Senior brother, you have misunderstood me this time. Junior Sister Yunmeng... can really deal with these blood guards, because like me, she is a first-level Dao Immortal Foundation-building monk."

"And I have a feeling in the dark that if there is really a life-and-death fight between senior brother and junior sister Yunmeng, the person who will die will definitely be you, senior brother."

"ah?!"

After hearing this message from Lu Chen, Yi Hanqing's brain suddenly shut down for a few seconds.

Although he had long ago guessed that the person who was undergoing the tribulation in the sect at that time was Lu Chen.

He also guessed that he was very likely a first-grade Dao Xianji.

But guessing is one thing, and Lu Chen admitting it himself is another.

Now Lu Chen told him that in this small group of three.

Another one, Shangguan Yunmeng, who had acted harmless from the beginning, was also a first-grade Dao Xianji queen.

How could Yi Hanqing not be shocked.

Why did he, the one with the highest cultivation among the three, actually have the lowest future limit?

I sat up in shock from the dying illness, and I was the waste?

When did I, Yi Hanqing, the chief disciple of Cangjian Peak, become the basic unit for measuring geniuses?

Without giving Yi Hanqing too much time to think, Lu Chen immediately made arrangements.

"Brother, you can hold back the Jindan-stage cultivator. You don't need to find a way to defeat him. Just make sure he doesn't have time to fight."

"Similarly, Sister Yunmeng, you don't need to think about dealing with the blood guards. You just need to prevent them from affecting Brother Yi's battle, or from interfering with ordinary people too much."

"After all, I know a little bit about this formation. This formation is called the Black Lotus Sacrifice Formation, and its function is to sacrifice all the creatures that die in the formation."

"So their target is not just us, but also the hundreds of thousands of people living in the city."

"But maybe they feel that they have a sure win, so they decided to deal with us first, and then deal with the hundreds of thousands of mortals trapped in this formation."

"And this is a great opportunity for us."

"As long as you can hold back this Jindan-stage cultivator and those blood guards, I, your brother, will have a way to break this formation."

Hearing these words from Lu Chen's telepathic voice transmission, Yi Hanqing instantly understood what Lu Chen was doing.

Just thinking about what Lu Chen was going to do, was to find a way to break this formation.

Yi Hanqing knew without thinking that what he was going to do was definitely the most dangerous of the three.

Yi Hanqing felt that he was too unqualified to be a senior brother to let his junior brother do the most dangerous thing!

But he had to admit that he really couldn't think of a higher plan than Lu Chen at the moment.

Therefore, he could only do it according to Lu Chen's arrangement.

"Junior brother Lu, be careful."

"Don't worry, senior brother, I know my limits."

After the two looked at each other, Lu Chen flew towards the palace on his sword.

In response, Zhan Ziyin, who was guarding the gate of the palace, saw this scene and raised his hand to attack without thinking.

But before he could make a move, a dense rain of peach blossoms attacked him.

These peach blossoms seemed beautiful, but each of them concealed a huge murderous intent.

Not only that, these peach blossoms were also stained with special spirit wine.

So that these peach blossoms were directly ignited one by one during the flying process.

And made a series of flaming peach blossom sword qi.

Facing this flaming peach blossom sword energy, even Zhan Ziyin, who was in the second stage of the Golden Core Stage, had to avoid its sharp edge.

Because the flame of the spirit wine seemed to be able to burn even his body-protecting Dan Qi, which was very difficult to deal with.

"Yi Hanqing, the peach blossom cultivator of the Qingyun Sect, I didn't expect that one of the three people who came was you."

Yi Hanqing was not surprised to hear that Zhan Ziyin could say his Taoist name.

Because Zhan Ziyin could become the national teacher of the Great Yan Dynasty, it means that he was originally a formal disciple of Yuxu Mountain.

It is normal for a formal disciple of Yuxu Mountain to have heard of his Taoist name.

"I didn't expect that a disciple of Yuxu Mountain would actually enter the devil's way. You really bring shame to your Yuxu Mountain."

Zhan Ziyin didn't seem to worry that Lu Chen would ruin their plan after entering the palace, so he simply let him in.

He looked at Yi Hanqing and said with a smile: "What's wrong with the devil's way, what's wrong with the righteous way, as long as it can be used by me, it is a good way."

"Besides, if one day everyone in the world follows my way, then even if my way is not the righteous way, it will become the righteous way."

Hearing this, Yi Hanqing smiled.

But his smile was different from the spring breeze when he faced Lu Chen and other fellow disciples.

His smile at this time was full of sarcasm.

As if he was laughing at Zhan Ziyin's overestimation of his own ability.

"Let's not talk about whether you have this ability or not. If you do, it can only mean one thing."

"That is, all the disciples of our Qingyun Sect are dead."

"Because as long as we are still here, we will never let the devil's way like you walk in the sun openly."

After the words fell, Yi Hanqing took the initiative to rush towards Zhan Ziyin.

Not long after, a violent explosion sounded outside the palace.

And almost at the same time when Yi Hanqing and Zhan Ziyin started to fight.

Shangguan Yunmeng also faced the hundreds of Iron-clad Blood Guards...

Under the palace, the Black Lotus Altar.

Ji Yuan sat on the bone throne on the blood pool, resting with his eyes closed.

But after a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and looked in a certain direction in front of him.

I saw a monk wearing the uniform of a Qingyun Sect disciple, who had already appeared in this secret underground altar.

And beside the monk, there were corpses of Black Lotus believers lying all over.

These Black Lotus believers were originally staying in the altar to accompany Ji Yuan's servants.

But because they heard the movement outside the altar, they wanted to drive away the enemies who had rashly broken in here.

As a result, not only did he fail to drive the people away, but he also stayed here forever.

Ji Yuan looked at Lu Chen, who did not hide his whereabouts, with an interesting expression on his face.

"Qingyun Sect, this is the first sect in Zhongzhou that I heard many times when I was a child."

"It is said that there are five immortal peaks in Qingyun Sect, and any of these five peaks can be taken out separately to establish a first-class sect outside."

"I don't know how true or false this rumor is, but it doesn't hinder my yearning for Qingyun Sect back then."

"It's a pity that my Great Yan Dynasty is in the sphere of influence of Yuxu Mountain, so even if our Great Yan royal family has the qualifications to practice, the only place they can go is Yuxu Mountain."

"So I have never been able to see the style of this legendary first immortal sect in Zhongzhou with my own eyes."

"Do you think that with my current cultivation and qualifications, I am qualified to set foot in your Qingyun Sect?"

Hearing Ji Yuan's pretentious words, Lu Chen laughed rarely.

It's just that his smile is exactly the same as the one Yi Hanqing showed to the Imperial Master Zhan Ziyin.

It's all a kind of ridicule from the heart.

"Are you laughing at me?"

Ji Yuan looked at the sarcasm on Lu Chen's face, and his expression suddenly turned cold.

The next second, a terrifying golden elixir pressure began to crush Lu Chen.

He seemed to want to rely on this method to make Lu Chen pay for his rudeness.

But what shocked Ji Yuan was that after his golden elixir pressure fell on Lu Chen, it was like a stone sinking into the sea.

It didn't have any effect on Lu Chen at all.

It was as if nothing happened.

And Lu Chen just bathed in Ji Yuan's golden elixir pressure and walked towards him step by step.

"You are just a poor creature who is begging for mercy under the guise of external forces. You want to come to our Qingyun Sect? What a joke."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Ji Yuan was completely enraged.

He thought that he had a new life today, and he was in a very good mood, so he might be able to leave Lu Chen with a whole body.

But he changed his mind now.

He wanted to let this arrogant guy know what it meant that the power of a good golden elixir could not be insulted!

You, a foundation-building cultivator, how could you have the confidence to talk to me, a golden elixir cultivator, like this!

"Roar!"

Ji Yuan slapped the dragon chair under him fiercely.

The next second, the dragon chair turned into a huge white ancient dragon and flew over Ji Yuan's head.

Ji Yuan leaned against the huge bone dragon, looked at Lu Chen with cold eyes, and said, "So what if I rely on external forces? How can you, a lucky person who can cultivate naturally, understand the suffering of a mortal like me?"

"The things that are within your reach are all found by me bit by bit with great difficulty. What qualifications do you have to evaluate me?"

"You look down on my crooked ways, right? Then let me see how you, a small foundation-building cultivator, can look down on the crooked ways of a golden elixir cultivator like me!"

As soon as the words fell, the bone dragon behind Ji Yuan roared towards Lu Chen.

But just when the bone dragon was about to fly to Lu Chen, a black light appeared from behind Lu Chen, and soon turned into a huge black dragon, rushing towards the white bone dragon.

Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan in the distance was a little shocked.

Because he could feel how real the black dragon summoned by Lu Chen was.

It was almost to the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing.

You should know that his bone dragon was a special magic weapon that could only be condensed after refining a small section of the dragon vein of the dynasty.

But what about Lu Chen's black dragon.

Could it be that he also refined a dragon vein of the dynasty?

However, Ji Yuan's surprise did not last long.

Because he found that Lu Chen's black dragon was much more real than the bone dragon transformed by his magic weapon dragon chair in appearance.

But because of Lu Chen's cultivation and the grade of the magic weapon itself.

As a result, the black dragon was eventually defeated by the white bone dragon and began to retreat step by step.

Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan looked at Lu Chen with a playful look in his eyes.

He thought that Lu Chen, a disciple of Qingyun Sect, was special, but it turned out that he only had this ability?

Even I, a newcomer who had just entered the cultivation world, couldn't beat him.

It seems that the title of Qingyun Sect, the first sect in the cultivation world, is not as impressive as imagined.

But what Ji Yuan didn't notice was that Lu Chen was also surprised by Ji Yuan's strength at this time.

It was not that he was too strong, but that his strength... was much weaker than he imagined.

If we look at the panel data, Ji Yuan's panel data is the strongest among all the enemies he has encountered so far.

Although he is only in the first turn of the Jindan period, he is a second-grade Tiandao Jindan.

Taken together, this strength far exceeds that of Rong Gongming at the beginning.

But in fact, Lu Chen felt that Ji Yuan didn't even have half of Rong Gongming's strength.

Because his control over cultivation... was too rough.

If Rong Gongming could use a little spiritual power to play two or three points of effect.

Then Ji Yuan could use a little spiritual power to play 0.5 points of effect.

In simple terms, Ji Yuan is like a child who has just obtained an adult's weapon.

He has only initially understood how to use this weapon.

But there is still a long way to go before he can use it well.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately decided not to give the other party a plan to familiarize himself with the power.

Sword Domain... Expand!

In Ji Yuan's stunned eyes, a huge lotus sword domain expanded with Lu Chen as the center, and soon wrapped him and Ji Yuan together.

Sword domain, Ji Yuan, who had never practiced before, how could he know the sword domain of the Hedao realm!

This is a power beyond his cognition.
