Chapter 60

Upon seeing these three sword-shaped jade slips, everyone's eyes lit up one by one.

There are some things others don't know, but they are well aware of them.

During this trip out to find people, Junior Brother Zhou Qing relied on that "Silver Dragon Hand" to directly confront a peak Jin Dan realm expert, and now, listening to the Supreme Elder's implication, this sword art is actually no worse than that "Silver Dragon Hand."

No, this time I must get my hands on it.

Zhou Qing was also full of longing; the techniques he currently learned had all reached Great Completion, and he had originally been thinking of learning another powerful technique as soon as possible, otherwise, it would be too unfair to his current talent.

What's more, the sword technique Lu Yaoyao displayed when she ambushed Yin Xiao from behind that day is still fresh in his memory.

Furthermore, there are still hidden crises within the sect that haven't been resolved; one can never place hope in others at any time.

Only when one's own fists are hard can one protect oneself well.

Seeing everyone's eager gazes, Elder Duanmu Shu, who had originally wanted to say something else, suddenly felt something and turned her head; a whistling sound followed from the horizon.

Immediately after, Sect Master Cao Zhengyang actually rushed over.

Everyone hurriedly bowed.

"Greetings, Elder Duanmu!" Cao Zhengyang bowed toward Elder Duanmu Shu.

Elder Duanmu Shu nodded slightly and asked with some confusion: "Sect Master, why do you have time to come here today?"

Cao Zhengyang muttered something.

Soon, Elder Duanmu Shu looked at Lu Yaoyao with some surprise, then smiled: "It looks like you really went all out. Don't worry, nothing will happen; it's just right to use this gravity zone to consolidate your foundation."

Cao Zhengyang naturally understood that it was impossible for him to keep Lu Yaoyao by his side for a lifetime; that would do her more harm than good, but after experiencing the events of the past few days, he was still somewhat worried after all.

Afterward, Cao Zhengyang looked at everyone and said: "Everyone, don't worry; the Supreme Elder and I are outside."

Immediately after, he first looked at Lu Yaoyao, giving her an encouraging look, and then looked at Zhou Qing without leaving a trace.

This child really sent them a "big gift" this time!

Afterward, the nine of them arrived in front of that bronze gate again.

"Junior Brother Zhou, you have experience; why don't you help us lead the way?" one senior brother said with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yaoyao immediately refused.

You have several peak Foundation Establishment experts here who aren't moving, why should you let Zhou Shixiong lead the way?

This is too cowardly.

But before she could say anything, Zhou Qing actually nodded and walked straight inside.

As soon as his feet touched the floor tiles, a gravity even more terrifying than last time came crashing down.

After all, when he came last time, he had only just entered the early Foundation Establishment realm, but now he had already broken through to the late stage; naturally, it was not the same as before.

Fortunately, there were no wandering soul attacks.

【Heart Appraisal Point +4】

Looking at Zhou Qing's back as he took the lead, as well as the other senior brothers and sisters watching, Lu Yaoyao was full of admiration.

The 【Good Natural】 remark on his head also instantly changed to 【Good Man】.

And Zhou Qing, hearing the notification sound, instinctively guessed it was Lu Yaoyao behind him; once he turned his head and saw the new remark, his legs went weak.

What on earth is this girl thinking about all day long?

And the others, seeing that there was no danger, also hurriedly entered the gravity zone, then began to move bit by bit like mud oxen entering the sea.

But just a short while later, a whistling sound came from ahead.

An aura of yin rushed toward them, making everyone shiver.

"Not good, everyone be careful, wandering souls have appeared!"

Everyone was startled and hurriedly took out their respective weapons, immediately checking the Yang Fire Talismans gifted by the Supreme Elder.

They also looked at Zhou Qing for the first time, but couldn't find where Zhou Qing was for a moment.

Looking closely again, he was walking right in front.

At this time, Zhou Qing also hurriedly crouched down to be on guard; although his innate skill 【Lower Presence】 had also been upgraded to level three, and Foundation Establishment wandering souls had a 90% probability of ignoring him, nothing is absolute, and what if the probability of being discovered fell on that 10%?

Under everyone's nervous gazes, in just a few breaths, those heart-palpitating wandering souls roared and rushed out.

Just as the Supreme Elder had guessed, there were no Qi Condensation wandering souls this time; they were all Foundation Establishment ones, and the number reached a terrifying sixty-plus.

Nine Foundation Establishment cultivators facing over sixty wandering souls of the same rank—how could this not be shocking?

If they were in the outside world, one peak Foundation Establishment expert could easily deal with seven or eight.

But now, being in the gravity zone, even lifting a foot to walk was difficult, let alone performing martial arts with ease.

"Everyone, hold on for now; the exit is relatively close here, if it really doesn't work, we'll retreat!"

It was the same peak Foundation Establishment senior brother from last time; looking at the swarming wandering souls, he gritted his teeth and immediately issued the order.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Under Zhou Qing's anxious gaze, those wandering souls didn't even look at him, whistling past him and heading straight for the people behind.

"It's settled!"

Seeing this scene, the heart that Zhou Qing had been hanging finally let go.

And the people behind were basically all Foundation Establishment realm, and since their attention was entirely drawn by the wandering souls, they also unconsciously ignored Zhou Qing in front.

The battle between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out; Yang Fire Talismans burned immediately, and various duels roared constantly.

Zhou Qing did not choose to go up and help; after all, the exit was not far behind, and they were capable of dealing with it, so he simply sat cross-legged.

After waiting for a good while, seeing that some people were fighting while retreating toward the exit, he still hadn't refreshed any ignore points.

Helpless, he had to get up.

Afterward, he looked at the panel.

【Lower Presence — LV3 (3/100)】

"It seems it's the same as I guessed; although the prerequisite is a tense environment stimulated by many people, it's only when no one pays attention for a certain period of time that varying ignore points are born, but now it seems this condition increases correspondingly with the talent level."

"A while ago, during the Five Sects Treasure Exchange, I could still stay in the crowd and watch those geniuses fight to farm points in the beginning, but after upgrading to level three, when I could be ignored by Jin Dan realm experts, farming points became much more difficult."

Afterward, Zhou Qing cast his gaze toward the depths of the passage and began to grit his teeth and move deeper bit by bit.

It must be said that the gravity here indeed had a certain help for his cultivation, especially in consolidating his foundation after breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment stage a while ago.

Soon, the sounds of fighting behind him became smaller and smaller, until Zhou Qing's whole body was almost soaked with sweat, and he finally walked out of the gravity zone.

He even saw that stone mill at a glance.

It seems that after the Supreme Elders came in last time, they returned everything to its original place.

Zhou Qing was panting, leaning directly against the stone mill to breathe heavily, and taking advantage of his current sore and weak state, he hurriedly took out that supreme-grade spirit stone to absorb and refine it.

Sure enough, in this extreme state, his exhausted meridians were like a long drought meeting sweet rain, absorbing it extremely fast, which then converted into special energy to strengthen the black and white spirit core in his dantian.

After a long time, Zhou Qing finally got up, moved his arms and legs, and did not turn the millstone immediately, but walked toward the direction in his memory.

Not long after, when he saw that the hole in the wall had been repaired, he couldn't help but smile.

Afterward, looking at the deeper passage, he turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.

He didn't dare to go in; after all, even someone as strong as Er Daye could be trapped for so many years, and if he were to be tainted by it, he would surely die.

Arriving behind the millstone, Zhou Qing was just about to turn it when he became interested and curiously performed his daily appraisal on it.

【Void Ring Fragment: This is a scrap piece originating from the extreme-path weapon "Void Ring," possessing incredible power. Interestingly, for so many years, no one has discovered that an incredible broken sword is actually embedded inside it, and the method to take it out is also very simple; one only needs to use pure spirit stones to absorb it out.】

Seeing the feedback information, Zhou Qing's face was full of confusion.

Extreme-path weapon?

Void Ring?

Never heard of it.
