Chapter 746 Ten Years

"I've met Taoist friends."

Zi Tianji's expression turned cold, and his body also had spiritual consciousness at the level of returning to the void. Although there is no way to repel the opponent, it is enough to protect yourself.

"I am Han Yue, the foreign affairs elder of the Sword Sect."

Han Yue withdrew his consciousness and put a smile on his face again.

After a short trial, he had determined that Zi Tianji's cultivation was the same as what the ancestor of the Five Elements remembered, the early stage of returning to the void. This kind of strength is not weak, but it is not enough in front of a behemoth like the Ancient Sword Sect. A strong person like the Patriarch of the Five Elements who is in the late stage of returning to the void will be suppressed, let alone a casual cultivator who has no foundation in the early stage of returning to the void.

I just hope this person can understand a little bit.

"It turns out to be Elder Han."

Zi Tianji cupped his hands and responded calmly.

This attitude almost shows the impatience written on his face. Han Yue on the opposite side was not angry, but smiled and nodded.

"Senior Zi, I called you here this time because I want to cooperate with Senior Han in investigating the theft of the Xuanjing mineral vein."

Le Shang was very polite, and every time he spoke to Zi Tianji, he addressed himself as a senior. Zi Tianji will not be arrogant just because of his humble status. He knows the origin of his status better than anyone else.

"Taishang Han Wuxin is very concerned about this matter. Please cooperate well."

After finishing his polite remarks, Le Shang said seriously as if to remind him.

"My subordinate understands."

Zi Tianji immediately understood the meaning and began to express his bitterness to the Venerable Han Yue who came down to investigate. From the time he was tricked into joining the gang, to the battle of wits and courage with the Five Elements Ancestors, to the series of escapes from death and turning from darkness to light, the story is described in great detail. Everything he said was true and could withstand the other party's inspection. It's just that some of the unimportant content was selectively forgotten by him. For example, Chen Luo's identity and whereabouts, and his harvest, etc.

By the time he finished describing it, it was already two hours later.

Han Yue walked out of Five Elements City with a pale face. Without saying a word, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

Zi Tianji and City Lord Le Shang, who were sending people to the door, stopped and made sure that the other party could not sense the situation here before speaking.

"If we do this, will we offend Elder Han?" Zi Tianji wanted to ask about the supreme elder behind Han Yue.

The supreme elders of the Ancient Sword Sect are at least old monsters in the Hedao realm.

After meeting him once in the tomb, he never wanted to meet him again.

"Didn't you cooperate just now?"

Le Shang said calmly, then turned around and left the main hall. When Han Yue came here before, he was refining a furnace of elixirs. Now that so much time has passed, the elixirs must be useless and they must start all over again.

Looking at Le Shang's leaving figure, Zi Tianji withdrew his gaze and chose to leave this place.

The bigger the sect, the more serious the internal struggle will be.

It was out of this consideration that Zi Tianji chose to join Le Shang. Having experienced the split between the Qionghua sect, he knows the contradictions within these major Tao sects better than anyone else. If the Qionghua Sect is like this, the Ancient Sword Sect of the Shangjiu Sect will only become more chaotic.

The only way to immortality.

Everyone at the top wants to become an immortal, but resources are limited.

This is a proven result. Eight thousand years later, the "Corpse Immortal Way" has become the mainstream. This is the best proof.

The alchemy process went smoothly.

Chen Luo spent half a year making a furnace of Fire Crystal Pills.

The elixir is of the highest quality, with cloud patterns.

The aroma is overflowing, and when the elixir falls into your hands, the surface is still emitting energy similar to fire.

"The effect was unexpectedly good."

After sensing the energy in the elixir, Chen Luo sat down cross-legged and began to use his mental techniques. The main technique that had been modified by Brother Changqing in countless versions reappeared, and the spiritual energy dispersed in the body, forming a fiery red cloud that flowed in all directions.

The warm spiritual energy nourishes the soul, repairs the physical body, and the cultivation level is improved visibly to the naked eye.

The external brain adjusts the activity, and the brain responsible for refining spiritual power takes the initiative and begins to distribute the spiritual power in an orderly manner to maximize the efficacy of the medicine.

One day, two days.

ten days, one month

Spring passed and autumn came, and ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

An immortal cultivating sect named Huangye Valley emerged near Xiongdang Mountain. The sect leader relied on his insect control skills to defeat dozens of challenging sects and became the overlord of this area.

Many cultivators who had just entered Taoism came here because of its reputation, forming a small market outside Xiongdang Mountain.

In order to highlight the status of Huangye Valley, they set a rule that only those who have become immortals are eligible to enter the market, and mortals are only qualified to live on the periphery. This restriction has caused Huangye Valley's status to skyrocket, becoming the most famous immortal cultivating sect in nearby countries. Even the royal family will send disciples with spiritual roots here to participate in the entrance examination.

Ancestor Huangye's name resounded throughout the Three Kingdoms, becoming the strongest man in this area.

Inside the valley.

Ancestor Huang Ye, who was known as the most powerful person in the Three Kingdoms, looked at the spiritual spring gradually drying up at his feet with a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

Gone!

The last trace of spiritual power in the spiritual spring also disappeared. He originally chose to create Huangye Valley here because he discovered this spiritual spring.

Ancestor Huang Ye is not a powerful person, but a foundation-building monk.

Perhaps in the eyes of those high-ranking big shots, Foundation-Building monks can only be regarded as rookies who have just stepped onto the path to immortality, but in such a remote place, Foundation-Building monks are powerful. He is a strong man who can establish a sect. In Huangye Valley, as long as you can reach the perfection of Qi refining, you can become an elder. In the later stage of Qi refining, you will be the master of the palace, and if you enter the Tao, you will be considered an inner sect.

Even in the outer gate area, there is a group of ordinary disciples practicing martial arts.

The Huangye Valley covers a large area and is luxuriously built inside. In order to please this ‘immortal master’, the royal family of the nearest Ye Kingdom sent a large number of craftsmen to build the buildings in the Huangye Valley with dragons and phoenixes, which are very beautiful.

However, this kind of beauty is only superficial. There is no spiritual energy inside. The powerful immortal cultivators will not even look at this side.

"After all, it is just a spiritual spring. If it is a spiritual vein"

Next to the Huangye Patriarch, an old man who looks older than him sighed.

"If it is a spiritual vein, how can it be our turn."

The Huangye Patriarch smiled bitterly.

The old man who spoke was Liu Hai, a friend he met three years ago. Both of them were casual cultivators with no foundation. Being able to build a foundation is already a great fortune. As for the formation of the elixir, the two have never even thought about it. They stepped into the immortal path by chance, and they didn’t know how many detours they took along the way.

The main cultivation method has changed two or three times, and the methods he has mastered are even more complicated. He knows a little bit about alchemy, qi refining, and spiritual talismans, but none of them are proficient. They can't even be considered as formal entry. At most, they can infuse a little spiritual energy and fool ordinary people.

In the eyes of the inheritors of the big forces, they are like weeds in the world of cultivation. They only care about the immediate interests and don't care about tomorrow.

Eat waste pills, refine evil methods, and don't fear the poison of pills.

Practice the magic of overdrawing life.

The waste pills that are thrown away as garbage by the cultivators of the big forces are treasures in the eyes of these people.

Such cultivators are never recognized by the big forces. Occasionally, those who surrender to them are just used as dogs.

"Without the spiritual spring, this place will be useless." Liu Hai reluctantly took out a few spiritual stones from the storage bag and threw them into the spiritual spring.

With the support of the spiritual stones, a little spiritual liquid accumulated in the spiritual spring.

But this method of accumulating spiritual liquid is like drinking poison to quench thirst, which cannot solve the fundamental problem.

"What are you going to do next?"

"I'm ready"

As the two were talking, a dark cloud suddenly flew over the distant sky.

The sky, which was clear before, suddenly blew a strong wind. The whistling wind blew the entire mountain forest, and the woods outside the Yellow Leaf Valley shook violently. Large pieces of fallen leaves on the ground were rolled up, turning into a long yellow-brown dragon, flying towards the mountain.

The dark clouds gathered more and more, and finally gathered into a thick black cloud, blocking the sunlight above.

The spiritual energy in the valley seemed to have found its home, rotating and gathering towards the mountain. Liu Hai threw a little spring water accumulated by the spirit stone into it, and it was immediately swept away by this force.

The two people who noticed this fluctuation quickly stood up.

Such a strong spiritual fluctuation must be the birth of a rare treasure!

Both of them were casual cultivators, and the last thing they lacked was courage. Now that they were so close to the gathering point of spiritual energy, they had to go over and take a look. If they picked up an opportunity, they might be able to change their fate and get the chance to form a pill.

The life of a casual cultivator depends on one life.

The spiritual spring in Huangye Valley has dried up, and the two of them have no way out.

"Go and have a look!"

Huangye spread his sleeves, summoned his flying sword, and quickly flew to the core of the storm, with Liu Hai following closely behind.

In the cave.

Chen Luo swallowed the last Fire Crystal Pill in the gourd, and he opened his eyes only after the spiritual power was completely digested.

The technique was running, forming a vortex in the body.

At first it was still small, and slowly spread outside the body, the cave, and even the outside world. This strong wind was like a vortex, frantically extracting the surrounding spiritual energy, forming a rotating eye of the storm. The green vortex surrounded the outer wall of the mountain, and the trees on the mountain were uprooted.

After a while, the spiritual energy retracted and returned to Chen Luo's body.

His realm also achieved a breakthrough at this moment.

Late Return to Void!

Chen Luo successfully broke through the realm that others could not reach after three reincarnations with the help of several pills. And this is not the end. After breaking through to the late Return to Void, his cultivation continued to rise. The spiritual energy from the outside world gathered crazily, and even the sky above was affected and began to form black clouds.

After a while, his cultivation hit the peak again.

‘The three techniques of retrograde can break through the realm.’

‘With the help of the power of heaven and earth, you can condense your consciousness.’

Changqing Immortal Emperor, Corpse Reincarnation Immortal Zhao Qi, and Third Brother Qiu Yuan all had the experience of breaking through the late Return to Void. This kind of breakthrough in a small realm is a normal ‘recovery’ in their eyes, so there is no bottleneck here for Chen Luo. After the cultivation has accumulated to the peak, it is natural to break through to the next realm.

Peak of Return to Void.

After ten years of practice, breaking through two small realms in a row, he suddenly reached the limit of Return to Void and began to touch the threshold of Hedao. (End of this chapter)
