Chapter 229: Five Soul-Forming Treasures, A Great Harvest

At this very moment, in the distance, the three women Leng Yuexi, Shen Biqian, and Lin Yazhu naturally saw this scene as well.

"Is this the Soul Secret Technique that husband has mastered?"

"To actually be able to transform into a Dream Domain and form a tangible illusion is truly too formidable."

"It is simply running this group of Golden Core old monsters around in circles."

Shen Biqian widened her beautiful eyes, exclaiming in endless wonder.

She saw Chixue Laoguai and the others killing each other within the Dream Domain, exhausting their own Dharma Power and Talismans for all they were worth.

I fear that in a moment, there will be no need for them to personally take action; this group of Golden Core old monsters will have already finished off their own companions.

"It is indeed formidable."

"The illusion formed by the power of the Dream Domain does not directly attack the enemy's soul."

"Rather, it influences the enemy's five senses, manipulating them to make them lose track of what is illusion and what is reality."

"Without even realizing it, they fall into the illusion."

"Even if they possess Treasures for soul defense on their persons, it is of no avail."

"Unless they have cultivated top-tier eye techniques, they would have no chance of seeing through the Dream Domain."

"Regrettably, top-tier eye techniques are not so easy to cultivate successfully."

"At the very least, none of these five great Golden Core old monsters have cultivated an eye technique capable of seeing through illusions."

Lin Yazhu nodded.

She felt that if she were to encounter this kind of Soul Secret Technique, she would likely also be at her wit's end.

It is simply unsolvable.

After all, when this kind of ability is activated, there is almost no sign at all; one falls into the trap without even knowing it.

Even though Chixue Laoguai and the others are all Golden Core True Persons with rich combat experience,

who would engage in a head-on contest with you? Naturally, one uses a Soul Secret Technique to ambush.

"Haha, die for me!"

Chixue Laoguai gave a ferocious laugh, manipulating the Superior Magic Treasure Nine Dragon Flame Mirror; the nine flame dragons converged together to form a terrifying flame spear, instantly striking his opponent.

With a 'thud', this flame spear pierced through the other party's body in an instant, blood dripping everywhere.

"How is this possible?!"

Chixue Laoguai widened his eyes, because at this moment he was shocked to discover that the one who had fallen to the ground was not the Xianxia Sect Sect Master Leng Yuexi, but his own companion, Huangshe Zhenren.

That Huangshe Zhenren collapsed onto the sea, a flame spear having pierced through his body, blood flowing out as if it were worthless; he widened his eyes, seemingly unable to close them even in death.

It was as if he had not expected that he would not die at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of his own companion.

"Stop, all of you stop!"

"We have been hit by an illusion technique and have fallen into an illusion."

Chixue Laoguai roared; he was no fool, so how could he not know by now that he had been hit by an illusion technique?

The enemy he had been fighting to the death just now was not one of the three Golden Core True Persons of Xianxia City, but his own companion, Huangshe Zhenren.

He had even personally killed Huangshe Zhenren, losing a great general.

He was simply furious, his eyes nearly splitting, and his rage knew no bounds.

"Haha, die for me, Sect Master of the Qingmu Sect!"

But his shouting was already too late; the nearby Lvniu Zhenren seemed to have finally found the enemy's opening, manipulating the Superior Magic Treasure Demon Vine Ring, and a terrifying black vine transformed into a streak of light, silent and soundless.

With a 'thud', the enemy in front of him was also instantly pierced through by this black vine, a huge hole appearing in his chest, blood gushing out crazily and dyeing this sea area red.

"Wait, you are not the Sect Master of the Qingmu Sect, you are Ziyu Zhenren."

"How is this possible? The one fighting me just now was actually Ziyu Zhenren?"

Lvniu Zhenren was instantly stunned; he saw Ziyu Zhenren lying in a pool of blood, the other party widening his eyes, unable to close them even in death, as if he too had not expected that he would actually be killed by Lvniu Zhenren.

"Haha, Sect Master of the Pill Cauldron Sect, I have finally found your opening."

"Go to hell!"

But just at this moment, while Lvniu Zhenren was distracted, the nearby Bingyuan Laoguai seemed to have found Lvniu Zhenren's opening, completely mistaking Lvniu Zhenren for the Pill Cauldron Sect Sect Master Shen Biqian.

He held the Superior Magic Treasure Ice Snow Scepter, a terrifying ice power erupting from his body to form a massive ice-type spear, which blasted toward Lvniu Zhenren at a speed several times the speed of sound.

Boom~~

Lvniu Zhenren had no defenses either, and was instantly pierced through by this white ice spear; intense pain spread throughout his entire body, and blood flowed out as if it were worthless.

His eyes revealed a look of horror as he looked at the Bingyuan Laoguai in front of him in disbelief.

It seemed that at this moment, he also understood a little of the shock Ziyu Zhenren felt before he died.

To tell the truth, if one were to die at the hands of an enemy, that would be fine—that could be considered a lack of skill—but to die at the hands of one's own people, there is truly nothing more frustrating than that.

But now he had no other way; he felt the life force in his body rapidly fading away.

Thud!

His body fell from mid-air, smashing heavily onto the surface of the sea and immediately splashing up a huge spray of water.

With this, Lvniu Zhenren, Ziyu Zhenren, and Huangshe Zhenren were all dead.

Floating upon the sea were the corpses of three Golden Core True Persons, dripping with blood.

At this time, Chixue Laoguai and Bingyuan Laoguai finally came to their senses, and seeing their hands covered in blood, how could they not know what had just happened?

They had been hit by the enemy's illusion technique, actually treating their companions as enemies and killing them all.

Now, of the five great Golden Core True Persons, only two Golden Cores remained.

The enemy did not even need to take action, merely watching quietly from the shadows.

Such methods are simply chilling.

"Despicable and shameless Xianxia City."

"To think you would use illusion techniques to ambush us."

"If you have any guts, stop using illusion techniques and face us in an honorable battle."

Chixue Laoguai was both shocked and furious.

He was now regretting it so much his guts were turning green; had he known these three incoming Golden Core sects were this terrifying, he would never have come to provoke them even if it killed him, but it was too late to say anything now.

Having run rampant in this sea region for hundreds of years, he had finally kicked an iron plate.

"Fine, since that is the case, then as you wish."

At this moment, a voice that could not be traced to any direction came from the Void.

Boom~~

Instantly, the power of the Tier 3 High-Grade Purple Cloud Yin-Yang Array erupted, and countless Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi gathered together, forming streaks of terrifying Purple Cloud Divine Light, containing unparalleled might.

Each streak of Purple Cloud Divine Light was comparable to a strike from a Golden Core.

"Damn it, you dog."

"You win unfairly; to think you would use a Tier 3 Array."

Seeing this scene, Chixue Laoguai's face turned green; the honorable battle he spoke of was a one-on-one duel, not the activation of a Tier 3 High-Grade Array.

Being able to borrow the power of Heaven and Earth, and the power of a Third-tier Spirit Vein—isn't this just bullying people?!

However, as a Tier 3 Array Master, it was only natural for Zhou Sui to use the power of a Tier 3 Array.

If one can use an array to bully others, who would duel you? He really thought he was an ignorant fool.

Instantly, streaks of Purple Cloud Divine Light fell down like raindrops.

"Nine Dragon Flame Mirror."

Sensing a fatal crisis, Chixue Laoguai roared, channeled his Golden Core Dharma Power, manipulated the Superior Magic Treasure Nine Dragon Flame Mirror, and unleashed streaks of flame dragons to contend with the Purple Cloud Divine Light falling from the sky.

Unfortunately, in the battle just now, he had consumed far too much Dharma Power within his body.

Now was the exact moment when his new strength had not yet been generated and his old strength was exhausted; how could he block so much Purple Cloud Divine Light?

In the end, there would always be a slip-up.

Thud!

Several streaks of Purple Cloud Divine Light pierced through layers of defense, like a Heavenly Tribulation, and struck Chixue Laoguai fiercely, immediately erupting with terrifying destructive power, tearing everything apart.

"Ah!"

Chixue Laoguai let out a shrill scream, his entire body was instantly pierced through and split into two halves from the middle; the defensive Dharma Treasure on his body no longer had any effect.

Immediately, his body fell from mid-air and smashed heavily onto the sea.

"No, no, no."

Bingyuan Laoguai was the same; his strength was inferior to Chixue Laoguai's, so he suffered the blow of the Purple Cloud Divine Light even faster, to the point where he didn't even have the strength to fight back.

In just an instant, his body was riddled with holes by dozens of streaks of Purple Cloud Divine Light, looking just like a beehive, with blood constantly flowing out.

Following that, his body also fell from mid-air and smashed heavily onto the sea, having already lost the breath of life.

Thus, the five great Golden Core True Persons had all fallen, not a single one left.

"Husband, you are truly too amazing."

Leng Yuexi looked at Zhou Sui beside her with a face full of admiration.

To be honest, when she knew the five great Golden Core True Persons were attacking, she felt that Xianxia City might suffer heavy damage this time.

But who could have imagined that before they even had a chance to act, her husband had easily wiped out the five great Golden Core monsters through a Soul Secret Technique and a Tier 3 Array.

He hadn't even met these Golden Core monsters face-to-face before wiping them out into nothingness.

This level of strength was simply earth-shattering.

One must know that her husband was currently only at the Foundation Establishment Perfection realm, not yet a Golden Core Cultivator.

If this matter were to spread, it would definitely shake the entire Canglan Sea.

"A Tier 3 Array Master, truly living up to the reputation."

Lin Yazhu was also incomparably shocked.

Although she had heard that Array Masters could challenge those of higher levels, there was also an iron rule in the cultivation world: one must absolutely never fight an Array Master within their array, otherwise, it was seeking one's own death.

But Xianxia Island had not produced many decent Array Masters before.

So she was not clear about the true ferocity of a real Array Master.

Now seeing it, her husband was merely a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, yet he had played five Golden Core monsters in the palm of his hand.

He wiped them out without any effort at all.

From this, one could imagine the ferocity of a Tier 3 Array Master.

Although the Dao of Arrays ranked last among the Four Arts of Cultivation, when it came to combat power, it was definitely the first.

But those who could cultivate the Dao of Arrays were far too few.

"Husband."

Shen Biqian was very excited and immediately wanted to go retrieve the Storage Bags left behind by those Golden Core monsters.

After all, for Golden Core monsters like these, their Storage Bags must contain a large amount of Treasure.

They could also take the opportunity to make a fortune.

"No rush; just in case, to prevent them from faking death, let's grind their bones and scatter their ashes first."

Zhou Sui waved his hand, stopping Shen Biqian from stepping forward.

"This!"

Hearing this, Leng Yuexi, Shen Biqian, and Lin Yazhu blinked; they had all seen that the bodies of these five Golden Core True Persons were riddled with holes and assumed they were dead through and through.

Yet their husband was still so cautious, fearing the opponent might be faking death.

One could only say that their husband was indeed a Grandmaster of the 'Gou' Dao; anyone wanting to ambush him was just daydreaming.

Boom—!

In an instant, Zhou Sui manipulated the Purple Cloud Divine Light Array once more, erupting with streaks of Purple Cloud Divine Light that bombarded the corpses of these five Golden Core old monsters, unleashing terrifying power.

In just the time it takes for a single breath, the five corpses of the Golden Core old monsters were reduced to ashes, not even a scrap remaining.

"Not bad, they are indeed dead."

Seeing this situation, Zhou Sui was very satisfied; since they had been reduced to ashes, they were likely as dead as they could possibly be.

Of course, he also took the opportunity to use the power of the Dream Soul Gu to devour the soul memories of these five Golden Core Real Persons.

Suddenly, a massive amount of memories was devoured by the Dream Soul Gu.

He also obtained a great deal of intelligence.

"So that's how it is. The reason these old fellows came to attack Xianxia City was to obtain Spirit Stones for Nascent Soul formation items."

"After all, a Nascent Soul formation item is quite expensive; even though they are veteran Core Formation Masters, they cannot afford one."

"Most importantly, they wanted to form their Nascent Souls as quickly as possible to cope with the Beast Tide coming in a few years."

"This Beast Tide is different from the past; it might last for decades, or even a hundred or several hundred years."

"The reason is that several Nascent Soul Monster Kings have been born among the Sea Clan, and their strength has greatly increased; they want to take back the territory they lost."

Zhou Sui's pupils constricted.

He had never expected that such a thing would happen in the Canglan Sea, with an unprecedented Beast Tide about to erupt.

This is a war between the Human Race and the Sea Clan.

It can be said that this has been going on in the Canglan Sea for tens of thousands of years.

Basically, every once in a while, a great war between the Human Race and the Sea Clan will break out.

Those Nascent Soul Monster Kings will drive countless Monster Beasts and sea beasts from the depths of the ocean to continuously assault every island in the Canglan Sea, devouring every human they come across.

Forming an unprecedented Beast Tide.

If one can hold them off, one can survive.

If one cannot hold them off, then one will be reduced to ashes, with no bones left behind.

To survive in such a battlefield, one must at least be in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Even a Golden Core Real Person is like cannon fodder in a conflict of this scale, not worth mentioning at all.

Of course, more importantly, once the war begins, the prices of cultivation supplies such as Talismans, Pills, and Dharma Treasures will rise rapidly.

By then, it might take several times the current price to buy the same supplies.

It is precisely because of this that Chixue Laoguai and the others naturally wanted to loot a fortune before the war started, so they could purchase their Nascent Soul formation items.

Unfortunately, they underestimated Xianxia City and ended up meeting their doom here.

"A Sea Clan invasion?"

"It seems I truly need to advance to the Golden Core Realm as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, once the Sea Clan launches the war, no place in the Canglan Sea will be able to avoid the chaos."

"By improving my cultivation as quickly as possible, I will be able to handle things with ease even if I encounter a massive invasion of Monster Beasts."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes, a sense of urgency rising within his heart.

Originally, he had thought he could cultivate at a leisurely pace.

But who could have imagined that he would encounter a once-in-a-millennium Beast Tide.

If he does not improve his strength, hiding anywhere will be useless.

At this very moment, Leng Yuexi, Lin Yazhu, and Shen Biqian also surrounded him.

They picked up the five Storage Bags left behind by Chixue Laoguai and the others, casually removed the Forbidden Array on them, and began to excitedly inspect the treasures inside.

"They are worthy of being famous wanted criminals."

"To think they stored so many treasures in their Storage Bags."

"Just the High-grade Spirit Stones alone total one hundred and fifty thousand."

"How many Cultivators did they have to kill to obtain so many treasures?"

Leng Yuexi gasped; she had not expected to find so many High-grade Spirit Stones in the Storage Bags of Chixue Laoguai and the others—this was practically an overnight fortune.

Chixue Laoguai and the others wanted to rob their Xianxia City, little did they know that the treasures on their own bodies would be left behind instead.

With so many High-grade Spirit Stones, Xianxia City does not even know how many years it would take to earn them back.

One can only say that the Golden Core Real Persons in the Wuji Alliance's sea territory are simply too wealthy.

Their resources are countless times richer than those of Xianxia Island.

"I suspect these Storage Bags contain their entire life's wealth."

"After all, they are all wanted criminals of the Wuji Alliance, listed on the bounty board, with no base of operations."

"So they naturally keep all their treasures on their persons."

"That way, even if they are hunted down, they can run away with all their assets without losing them."

Lin Yazhu said in a deep voice.

She was also exclaiming in wonder, because the Storage Bags contained not only a large amount of Spirit Stones, but also many Third-tier materials, Third-tier Spirit Medicines, and so on, all of which were of great value.

The kind that one might not even be able to buy with money.

But now, they have all become their gain.

"Wait, isn't this a Nascent Soul formation Spirit Medicine?"

"These few Golden Core old monsters actually each had a portion of Nascent Soul formation Spirit Medicine?!"

Shen Biqian's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she felt incomparably excited.

She was not interested in the many Spirit Stones or materials, as those things were easy to come by.

Only the Nascent Soul formation Spirit Medicine is a truly scarce resource.

This is a strategic resource, a Treasure that cannot be bought even at an auction.

Unless one becomes part of the core layer of a Nascent Soul power, it is impossible to purchase.

After all, there are so many Golden Core Real Persons within Nascent Soul powers like the Wuji Alliance; almost everyone wants to obtain a Spirit Medicine for Nascent Soul formation, so how could they possibly sell it?

Yet now, she had actually found five portions of Spirit Medicine for Nascent Soul formation on these few Golden Core old monsters.

This was simply a pie falling from the sky.

If other Golden Core Real Persons knew they had five portions of Spirit Medicine for Nascent Soul formation on them, they would likely swarm over.

Of course, Chixue Laoguai and the others acted very cautiously.

They naturally knew the preciousness of the Spirit Medicine for Nascent Soul formation.

So even though they had obtained the Spirit Medicine for Nascent Soul formation, they would not make a big fuss about it, only making a fortune in silence.

Therefore, no one knew they had the Spirit Medicine for Nascent Soul formation on them.

But now, these Spirit Medicines for Nascent Soul formation had fallen into the hands of Zhou Sui and the others.

"Truly a group of gift-giving boys."

"I suppose we must thank Chixue Laoguai and the others for taking the initiative to come and die."

"With these Spirit Medicines for Nascent Soul formation, the success rate for your future Nascent Soul formation will also be greatly increased."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly.

If one added the Spirit Medicine for Nascent Soul formation obtained from the Yu Family Supreme Elder, then there were now a total of six portions of Spirit Medicine for Nascent Soul formation.

He only had five Dao Companions.

So it was completely enough for them to form their Nascent Souls.

"Thank you, husband."

"If it weren't for husband, how could we have obtained the Spirit Medicine for Nascent Soul formation so easily?"

Shen Biqian was very excited.

To tell the truth, she had been in the Golden Core Late Stage for over a decade; due to the assistance of various Pills, her cultivation had improved rapidly, and she was already approaching Golden Core Perfection.

It could be said that she could also start considering Nascent Soul formation.

Leng Yuexi was the same; she had also been in the Golden Core Early Stage for many years, and it was estimated that in another year or two, she would step into the Golden Core Middle Stage realm, which was actually not very far from the Golden Core Late Stage.

So considering the issue of Nascent Soul formation now was not considered too early.

As for Lin Yazhu, it went without saying; she had long been prepared for Nascent Soul formation.

She had previously obtained the Spirit Medicine for Nascent Soul formation, the Thousand Year Moon Flower Grass.

"Is that so? If it's just like this, there isn't much sincerity."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin, looking at Shen Biqian's increasingly hot figure during this period; with the improvement of her cultivation, Shen Biqian seemed to have become more and more charming.

"Husband, Xianxia City has collected some Dual Cultivation secret manuals of the demonic path during this time..."

Shen Biqian giggled.

"Cough, cough, alright, what are you saying in public."

"Do you still want your face?"

"We have stayed inside the Array Formation for a long time."

"If we don't go out, the Cultivators outside might think we are dead."

Lin Yazhu said with annoyance, her pretty face blushing; these two shameless fellows, clearly such words should only be said in the boudoir, yet they were chatting here—didn't they know that walls might have ears?!

"Exactly."

Leng Yuexi's pretty face also blushed; although she and Zhou Sui were an old married couple, her skin was still very thin, unlike Shen Biqian, who was simply like a female Cultivator of the demonic path.

"Alright, alright."

"This is indeed not the place to talk."

"Let's go back and resolve this matter first."

Zhou Sui also felt that there was reason in her words.

With a boom, he waved his large hand, and the Array Formation barrier that had originally shrouded the entire Xianxia City instantly vanished; the sea area surrounded by endless rosy light now returned to its original appearance.

It seemed as if everything had returned to its previous calm, as if nothing had happened at all.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

Immediately, the Foundation Establishment Elders of the three major sects—Xianxia Sect, Pill Cauldron Sect, and Qingmu Sect—flew out of the city one after another, arriving outside the city and coming to the side of Leng Yuexi and the others.

"Sect Master, is it over?"

Many Foundation Establishment Elders looked at Leng Yuexi and the others, who were still intact, and their hearts were much more at ease; in fact, they had already had a certain degree of expectation for the outcome.

But for the sake of peace of mind, they still subconsciously asked.

"That's right, it's over."

"The five Golden Core Real Persons who came to invade this time, including Chixue Laoguai, have all been executed."

Lin Yazhu said in a deep voice.

What?!

Once these words were spoken, the faces of the many Foundation Establishment Elders revealed an expression of immense joy; there was no doubt that this was the best result, to have actually executed all five of these Golden Core Real Persons directly.

What kind of combat power was this?

They had heard of the various deeds of Chixue Laoguai and the others, who had rampaged through the Wuji Alliance Sea Area for hundreds of years with no one able to do anything about them, but now, they had died miserably at the hands of their own Sect Master.

Although it was also with the help of the power of the Array Formation, this was enough to prove the strength of the Sect Master.

Even if five Golden Cores attacked, it was a dead end.

Thanks to book friend Ai Meng for the reward again; today is also a 10,000-word update in two chapters.

The update word count is really not small, comparable to five or even six chapters from others.

If everyone still has monthly votes, you can all cast them for this book.
