Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

In the forest, Xu Zhangqing listened and was not surprised in the slightest: "As expected, it was their doing."

Moreover, the other party had set their sights on Qingwu Forest, wanting to use this place to break through to Golden Core.

One word: the Secret Realm is indeed a perfect choice.

Not only is the Spiritual Energy dense, but there are also very many Spiritual Treasures.

Coupled with the Regular restrictions, it can weaken the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to a certain extent.

If it were only this, the other party's breakthrough would be nothing major.

Unexpectedly, this person appears pure and good on the surface, but underneath is ruthless and vicious.

At this moment, the middle-aged cultivator turned his head to the youth and bowed: "Young Master, please wait here. I will go capture those cultivators inside the Secret Realm."

Having spoken, he fished out a black Mask from his Storage Bag.

This Mask looked Ordinary, only able to cover the mouth and nose; pasted onto the face, only a pair of sinister eyes remained.

Xu Zhangqing was shocked in his heart: "Yellow Spring Alliance's Mask!"

He was far too familiar with this thing.

Back when he killed Old Wu, there was an exactly identical Mask in the Storage Bag.

Never Expected that the so-called "Growth and Withering Sect" members were actually disguised by the Yellow Spring Alliance.

Doesn't that mean that youth addressed as "Young Master" is also a Yellow Spring Alliance person, and his Identity is not low?

Liu Xuan didn't even raise his head, already beginning to condense Wood Spirit Qi: "If you haven't returned by the time the entrance opens a second time, I will break through on my own."

The middle-aged cultivator replied "Yes," Immediately turned, and flew toward the other side of the Secret Realm, planning to capture a few "resources" first.

But he had just flown out not far when a faint "rustling" sound suddenly came from all around.

Sensing something was wrong, he Immediately scanned the surroundings, only to see the surrounding Lingti inexplicably begin to sway, then grow wildly right before his eyes.

In an instant, his whole person was wrapped inside countless Lingti, Immediately unable to move.

He just sacrificed a Wooden Short Blade, wanting to slash through these Lingti.

The next second, countless roots pierced into flesh, viscera, even the Brain, directly sucked into a human husk by the Lingti.

Even the Qin Hua Golden Core in his Qi Sea was dim and lusterless at this moment.

Xu Zhangqing's figure flashed, appearing nearby; he waved a hand at the strange Lingti around, and they Immediately shrank, finally returning to their original appearance.

If not for a "skin-and-bones" Corpse remaining on the ground, one would have thought what just happened was a Vision.

Especially those Lingti that had eaten people — they were even more robust and full.

"With him gone causing trouble, the rest can gather in peace."

"Moreover, this person's Identity can be made use of."

"It just so happens that Young Master is preparing to break through to Golden Core; my opportunity has come."

Xu Zhangqing walked step by step to the Corpse, first took out his own "Phantom" Mask, imitated the other's features, then put on this person's Mask and clothes entirely.

Very quickly, the whole person — from appearance to bearing — was no different from when the other was alive.

……

……

Liu Xuan waited like this, stubbornly waiting a Long time.

Originally Thought that Golden Core Stage Wang Meng could complete the Task; never expected he would go and not return.

Seeing the second entrance about to open, he really could wait no longer, so he had to Consume the resources given by the Yellow Spring Alliance to break through.

The good part is, a Single Spirit Root only needs to withstand one Turbid Thunder.

The Corpse Wood True Scripture circulated, Spiritual Energy surged into the body like a tide.

Wood Spirit Power grew denser; the various Lingti around swayed slightly along with it, as if summoned.

Regardless of Secret Realm or Outside, the sky suddenly darkened.

A Tribulation Cloud condensed, inside Thunder Sound faint, as if brewing something.

Outside Qingwu Forest, Mo Yuan and the others all froze: "Someone is crossing the Tribulation!"

Inside Qingwu Forest, Mo Ran and the others stared wide-eyed: "Who? Who is crossing the Tribulation?"

Not Long After, heaven and earth changed color.

An aura of annihilation suddenly descended.

With a "Boom—", a bolt of Turbid Thunder mixed green and gray suddenly struck down from the Tribulation Cloud; its momentum was so great even this space shook.

In Qingwu Forest, the Lingti near Liu Xuan instantly died violently.

Even the Spiritual Array Wang Meng had set up was destroyed.

The loss at this moment was at least over fifty thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Xu Zhangqing Sees In Eyes: "This youth is Absolutely a top-grade Wood Spirit Root."

Other Wood Spirit Roots crossing Tribulation basically face Growth and Withering Hanrui Thunder.

Yet this one actually faces the more powerful Growth and Withering Annihilation Thunder.

Power at least doubled; if preparations are insufficient, Absolutely cannot Endure.

On the Ground, a trace of excitement flashed in Liu Xuan's eyes; he fiercely raised both hands upward.

The Wood Spirit Qi inside his body rapidly condensed into a green Spiritual Shield, enveloping himself inside.

At the same time, the high-grade spirit weapons on his body activated one after another.

The Thousand-year Corpse Wood Helmet, Corpse-rotting Vine Armor Shoulder, Huang Quan Silkworm Cocoon Soft Armor, Soul-devouring Corpse Wood Heart Mirror, Gloomy Fluorescence Mycelium Arm, Nine-joint Corpse Root Belt, Rotten Leaf Pattern Cloth Pants, Soul-absorbing Boots, Bone Jade Pendant, and Corpse Wood Ring all radiated spiritual light.

He even took out a "Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman."

With a "Boom—".

Turbid Thunder struck the spiritual shield and immediately corroded with a sizzling sound.

Soon, with a "Pop!", it broke open.

The residual power of the Turbid Thunder continued to spread, but was blocked by this full set of equipment.

Seeing this, Liu Xuan still did not dare be careless, operating the Corpse Wood True Scripture at full speed to absorb more Wood Spirit Qi and transform it into Life Force.

The two sides engaged in a tug-of-war, seeing who would give out first.

As time passed, the Golden Core in Liu Xuan's Qi Sea gradually took shape.

The rich Wood Spirit Power quickly transformed into purer mana.

Crack!

Click!

The spirit weapons on his body broke one after another; when only the Nine-joint Corpse Root Belt, Soul-absorbing Boots, Bone Jade Pendant, and Corpse Wood Ring remained, they finally held.

Liu Xuan was overjoyed: "I have finally ranked among Earth Grade Golden Cores and awakened the divine ability Growth and Withering Reincarnation!"

At this moment, Wang Meng, who had just left, returned, landed, and cupped his hands respectfully: "Congratulations, Young Master, on breaking through to Earth Grade Golden Core!"

Liu Xuan smiled with dissatisfaction and complained: "Where did you go? Left with no choice, I could only consume my own resources to withstand the Turbid Thunder."

Xu Zhangqing slowly approached, speaking vaguely: "This..."

Soon, the distance between the two was less than one meter.

Their gazes met, and there was only indifference in Xu Zhangqing's pupils.

Liu Xuan exclaimed in shock: "You..."

The next second, the "Wang Meng" before him struck, poking his forehead.

The Soul-absorbing Boots and Bone Jade Pendant shattered instantly.

His Divine Soul stiffened, and his consciousness became muddled.

Immediately after, Xu Zhangqing raised his Right Hand and traced Puppet Technique Runes out of thin air.

His Left Hand consumed mana, taking advantage of the fact that the Tribulation Clouds had not yet dispersed, to trace a Lightning Summoning Talisman.

Simulating Water Attribute Turbid Thunder, not seeking perfection, just making up the numbers.

With another "Boom—", the Tribulation Clouds completely dispersed.

Previously, he had wanted to kill the person before him.

Now he had other ideas, planning to refine the other party into a puppet.

Perhaps he could use this fellow to infiltrate the Yellow Spring Alliance.

Ordinary puppetry could certainly not do it, but Xu Zhangqing was a Miao Shou Level Puppetry Technique practitioner.

Not to mention a Liu Xuan who had just broken through to the Golden Core Stage, even an existence at the level of Ancestor Ke Hen would end up the same.

Not long after, Liu Xuan, a top-grade Wood Spiritual Root genius who was only seventeen years old and ranked among Earth Grade Golden Cores.

As his body was covered densely with Puppet Technique Runes, he soon became an obedient puppet.

After a period of time, whether it was Mo Ran and others inside the Secret Realm, or Mo Yuan and others who had just entered the Secret Realm, they all gathered here.

However, only one person remained here.

Mo Yuan asked suspiciously: "Xu kid, are you alright?"

Zhao Chengdao exclaimed: "The aura of a Golden Core!"

Facing everyone, Xu Zhangqing smiled slightly: "I, Xu Zhangqing, Earth Grade Golden Core!"
