Chapter 729: Spiritual Consciousness Breakthrough

Although his cultivation has not recovered, his essence still exists. As a returning to the void cultivator, he saw the problem of the old man above at a glance. Although the man on the stage disguised himself well and had the fluctuations of a second-step cultivator of the immortal cultivation, his essence could not be deceived.

There is a gap between returning to the void and transforming into a spirit that low-level cultivators cannot sense.

The strength of the soul!

The returning to the void cultivator can have his soul leave his body, ignoring the wind and rain outside, and wandering freely in the world. The soul of the transforming spirit cultivator can only move around the body. Once it leaves too far, it will be blown away by the strong wind. This is a qualitative difference that cultivators of the same level can see through at a glance.

Although the 'Five Elements City Lord' sitting above is powerful, his essence is still a transforming spirit.

"Fortunately, I didn't inform the headmaster."

Zi Tianji retracted his consciousness and turned to leave the crowded square.

A few days later.

The ceremony of accepting disciples was successfully completed. Three outstanding geniuses worshipped under the Five Elements Patriarch and became the new generation of Five Elements City's direct disciples. The remaining eliminated disciples were also accepted by the surrounding sects, which brought this ceremony to a perfect end.

On the second floor of a low-rise house, a hand opened the window and looked at the team going away below.

This area is the slums of the Five Elements City, not on the spiritual vein. The people living here are all mortals under the jurisdiction of the Five Elements City, just like the mortal city given by the Falling Tide Valley that Chen Luo bought.

"It seems that it is difficult to find his body by normal means."

Putting down the window panel, Zi Tianji crushed the jade slip in his hand.

This jade slip was bought by Zi Tianji at a high price, but the news is still false.

Maybe the person who sold the news didn't know that the Five Elements Ancestor walking outside was not the real body. In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, whether it is returning to the void or transforming into a god, they are all levels that they can never touch in their lifetime. Because they can't touch it, they can't tell the truth from the false.

But this result is obviously not what Zi Tianji wants.

In the purchased news, the Five Elements Ancestor will pass by here today and drink tea and play chess with an old man. This is a habit he has maintained for many years. When he got the news, Zi Tianji had been lurking here early in the morning, and used some tricks to control this mortal family, pretending to be their relative. After that, he spent several days squatting, and finally he got the person, but it was still his clone.

"We can only use some special methods."

Regardless of the two people who were unconscious in the house, Zi Tianji turned around and went downstairs.

The delay was already quite long. If he continued to drag it on, wouldn't it be saying that he was incompetent? How would the headmaster see him?

After passing two streets, Zi Tianji turned and walked into the alley. He walked all the way to the end, stopped outside a talisman shop, and knocked on the door three times. Soon the door was opened, and a head with a vigilant face popped out of the window.

"Wait until the evening to buy the talisman. It's not open now!"

"I'll buy the way."

Zi Tianji didn't bother to talk nonsense, and raised his hand and threw a small bag of spirit stones in.

The person inside took the spirit stones, checked them carefully, and quickly closed the window.

With a creak, the side door next to it opened.

Zi Tianji, who was familiar with the process, turned and walked in. Inside the room, an old man with a smile on his face sat at the table, with two cups of tea next to him. Seeing Zi Tianji coming in, the old man immediately stood up to greet him. Zi Tianji had completed several transactions with him before, each of which was a big deal of more than 50,000 spirit stones, which increased his points a lot. If he had a few more similar transactions, he would be promoted to an elder, and at that time, the treatment and resources he enjoyed would be completely different.

"Daoyou are back so soon? How about it, is our information accurate?"

"I want the news of the disciple taught by the Five Elements Patriarch."

Zi Tianji didn't waste time and directly said the news he wanted to buy. Every time he came to trade before, he would buy some irrelevant news. Mixing these news with the news of the Five Elements Patriarch made it difficult for people to guess his real purpose. But the successive failures have exhausted his patience.

This time he was ready to cut the Gordian knot.

Directly capture the disciple and search his soul!

Get the news he wants as quickly as possible.

"The news about the disciple passed down by the ancestor is not cheap." The old man narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

People who do news trading are naturally not good people. The old man is not alone. There is a powerful force behind him. In the eyes of these people, as long as there are enough spirit stones, there is no news that cannot be sold in the world of cultivation.

"Three thousand medium-grade spirit stones."

Zi Tianji threw the spirit stones he had prepared in advance on the table.

The previous deal he and Chen Luo made in Qingyan City was very lucrative, and spirit stones were just a number to him. Moreover, even if the real spirit stones were not enough, he could use the "Qi Gathering Technique" to create some fake spirit stones to exchange. As long as the transaction location is changed quickly, those people in the dark will not be able to catch up with him!

"Deal."

The old man's eyes lit up. He originally just wanted to raise the price, but he didn't expect Zi Tianji to be so straightforward and take out three thousand medium-grade spirit stones at one time. According to the exchange rate of spirit stones, he can earn at least two thousand medium-grade spirit stones from this deal.

After counting the spirit stones, the old man reached out and tapped the table three times. A moment later, someone came in from outside, bringing a green jade slip with him.

"This is the information you want. With the reputation of Shadow Pavilion, we guarantee that if you miss any item, we will return you a thousand medium-grade spirit stones."

Zi Tianji took the jade slip, glanced at the general content inside, and then stood up and left.

The wooden door closed.

The house fell into darkness again.

The old man sat in the secret room, playing with the teacup in his hand, which was still warm, and gave an order to the darkness without looking back.

"Tell Feng Xiaotian that someone bought his information, and let him be careful."

Feng Xiaotian is the seventeenth direct disciple of the Five Elements Patriarch, and one of the VIPs of the Shadow Pavilion. Not long ago, the Shadow Pavilion owed Feng Xiaotian a favor for doing business, and took this opportunity to repay this favor. As for things like professional ethics.

He only guarantees the accuracy of the information, and other things are not within the scope of the transaction. If Zi Tianji has the same identity as Feng Xiaotian, he will definitely not be treated like this.

Five days later.

A spiritual vein in the north of the Five Elements City was abnormal, and the seventh direct disciple of the Five Elements Patriarch went to solve it, and his whereabouts were unknown afterwards. Feng Xiaotian, the seventeenth direct disciple who was supposed to be in charge of this matter, escaped by chance because of his injury.

Dark cave.

The seventh direct disciple curled up in the damp cave, screaming in pain.

"Who are you? What benefit did Feng Xiaotian give you? I'll pay ten times more!!"

"I don't know who Feng Xiaotian is, and I don't care about your grudges."

Zi Tianji stretched out his hand and pressed it on the forehead of the seventh disciple.

Soul search!!

With a scream, the gray-white power eroded past like a whirlpool, and then quickly rolled back. After a while, Zi Tianji retracted his right hand, and wisps of gray-white breath floated out of the body of the seventh disciple and merged into his palm.

After the soul search, Zi Tianji ignored the seventh disciple in the cave.

As he guessed, he only needed to show his intentions, and someone would naturally help him complete the rest.

Whether it was to go with the flow or to kill someone with a borrowed knife, he achieved his desired goal anyway.

This world of cultivation has never changed. Where there are interests, there must be disputes. The Qionghua Sect was split into seven sects in this way. Now it has changed to a different era, and the nineteen disciples of the Five Elements Patriarch are the same.

A life controlled by desire.

The cycle of suffering.

If you don't become an immortal, you will end up being an ant.

"Even these disciples don't know who his true self is. This old guy has reached this level of cultivation, but he is still so afraid of death." Sensing the content in his mind, Zi Tianji's figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

Although he failed to find the target, he also had clues.

The next thing to do is to follow these clues. Within three months, he will definitely find the true self of the Five Elements Old Ghost.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

A strange young man in a black robe appeared outside the cave.

After scanning with his spiritual sense and sensing the breath in the cave. The young man squatted down, took out a black medicine cauldron from it, grabbed a handful of soil and threw it into the cauldron. A strong stench floated out from the gap of the medicine cauldron. These black smokes were like living things. After flying out of the medicine cauldron, they turned in the air and all poured into the cave.

"Feng Xiaotian! Is it you?! I will fight you!"

A murderous voice came from the cave, but soon it became quieter, and the spiritual power fluctuations disappeared.

After waiting for a while, and making sure there was no sign of life inside, the man in black pushed open the cave and walked in.

In the damp and cold cave, a black corpse curled up in the corner, with eyes staring at the entrance of the gate, and black blood coagulated on his cheeks, like a ghost in the underworld, which was horrible to see.

"Brother, go well. I will help you get revenge."

Feng Xiaotian stopped and said to the corpse inside.

Chen Luo was still practicing in the cave.

The power of the spiritual veins pushed his cultivation forward. Under the deduction of the Immortal Emperor Changqing, the skills in Chen Luo's body changed again.

The originally vague road became clear.

From the initial stage of returning to the void to the perfection of returning to the void, there was no more doubt. The technique he mainly cultivated was officially advanced to the wonderful technique of returning to the void realm at this moment. This is a technique that was not deduced from the ‘Tao’, and is completely different from the ‘Corpse Immortal Dao’. If he cultivates to perfection one day, he will condense into the ‘Tao’. If he dies, his body will decompose like the ancient cultivators, and his ‘Tao’ will appear in the outside world, borrowed by others, and become the foundation of the Dao Sect.

“The spiritual consciousness has actually broken through to the perfection of returning to the void.”

He opened his eyes, and invisible ripples spread from his eyebrows. All the active puppet clones in the cave paused for a moment, and then became more flexible. The four strange insects in the insect breeding room became restless. Outside the cave, the clone transformed by the illusionary god Gu also raised his head, and a smile exactly the same as the original appeared on his face. (End of this chapter)
