Chapter 1089

Jiang Shang had never seen so many First Rank Golden Cores.

Excluding Yan Yan Shixiong Lei Zhuzi, who brought them here all the way...

A monk in a gilded cassock holding a string of Bodhi beads seemed to glance in his direction; it was the achievement of the Buddhist gate equivalent to a First Rank Pill, condensing the seed of great supernatural power, "Tongue Blooming with Lotus Flowers"!

Zheng Yin of the Xingyang Zheng family, practicing the Dragon-Riding Method, achieved a First Rank Pill, with the great supernatural power "Golden Mouth and Jade Words".

The blue-shirted youth Lan Jiu, an overseas loose cultivator, with a flower fox sable lying on his shoulder calling 'Guoguo' sweetly, with five-colored mysterious light rotating on his body, achieved a First Rank Pill, with the great supernatural power "Five Elements Great Escape"!

Crown Prince Xia Yi of the Hanhai Kingdom, suppressed in the flower fox sable's belly, cultivated the Heavenly Son's Double Pupils, which was also the ancient Heavenly Son's Dao comparable to a First Rank Pill!

Pei Erke, the second son of the Pei family, with the Heavenly Star Dharma Eye, now revealed his cultivation to be a First Rank Pill, having cultivated the seed of the great supernatural power "Separating Walls and Seeing Through".

The true disciple of Mount Kongtong of the Longxi Daoist gate also cultivated a First Rank Life-Bound Dharma Seal, with the seed of the great supernatural power "Five Emperors Great Demon".

The true disciple of the Zhenyue Palace of Mount Taihua was a very amiable Daoist, but he came by wandering the spirit and controlling the qi, and had a seat without needing to compete.

There was also a cultivator with an ordinary appearance, not knowing if he was a loose cultivator or from an immortal sect, lying dissolutely on the water surface, pouring wine into his mouth cup by cup toward the lotus leaves rolled up by the Illusion Moon.

He used illusion techniques to turn water into wine, and with the help of the Illusion Moon's power, drank to his heart's content.

The supernatural power he revealed was by no means inferior to any First Rank Jin Dan.

If Qian Chen were here, he could recognize that this person was the Luo Fu loose cultivator Fuyouzi, who had weighed the pill qi in Jiankang and bested the Southern Jin clans.

He practiced the "Luo Fu Xie Xie Zushi's Observation and Mending Heaven Sacred Law", but now he had promoted his Second Rank Jin Dan to First Rank.

It was also because everyone didn't know the inside story; otherwise, the evaluation would be three points higher.

Pill achievement is irreversible; to let the Jin Dan grade rise another level requires immense opportunity and wonderful methods.

If Qian Chen were here, he would be able to see that the path this person took indeed had a trace of his Nine Turns of the Jin Dan; a First Rank Jin Dan promoted bit by bit from a Ninth Rank Pill using the "Mending Heaven Sacred Law"!

The last one was Gao Zhao of the Jiang surname, Gao family, who came from a cave heaven.

In these few days, he refined a Three Clarities Immortal Gang, also achieving a First Rank Pill, and cultivated the Jin Dan Great Dao he had dreamed of.

Roughly counting, there were ten people here with First Rank Golden Cores, even if some were not the proud talents of the younger generation.

But the First Rank Golden Cores here had already surpassed all the First Rank ones of the twenty-eight characters of the Divine Continent in the past!

Besides this, figures like Cui Dan and Qian Tang, who were slightly inferior and achieved Second Rank Pills, were each standing on one side.

At the center of the lake, the red lotus, as large as a mountain, with a single petal comparable to a hundred-foot tall building ship, had its outer petals blooming at this time.

Surrounding it, dozens of lotus leaves supported nearly a hundred cultivators; the least of them were the proud talents who could be listed in the twenty-eight characters of the Divine Continent in the past.

Those slightly worse were all knocked off the lotus leaves, either fleeing in a sorry state or being suppressed into the lake's illusion!

This list of figures made Shen Bao grit his teeth and Jiang Shang feel dazzled...

He said blankly, "In the past, Yan Shixiong Sister Yan Cai, in order to seek a First Rank Jin Dan, was willing to give up everything and take that step, but in the end, she fell under that heavenly chasm, failing to even keep a Second Rank Jin Dan, falling directly to Third Rank, and from then on could never break free from this vast sea and enter the nine heavens! Yan Shixiong Zhen didn't even have the merit of a Supreme Rank Pill, and after decades, finally lowered his head, willing to roll in the mud for a bit of malevolent qi..."

"Shen Bao!"

"For the sake of a First Rank Jin Dan, we have suffered so much and used so many means; today... can we finally stand with them?"

Shen Bao was silent, only silently watching this group of people who each stood proudly on one side, with dazzling demeanor and in the prime of their youth.

"You can already stand among them! Jiang Shang..."

Shen Bao closed his eyes and said silently in his heart: "But I still can't... but I won't let you wait too long. One day, there will be a place for me, Shen Bao, up there! By then, everyone will call me Shen Gongbao, and I will also be called 'Naigong' (I)!"

Lei Zhuzi stood on the Tuolong's back, flipped his hand, caught a ray of blood light, and said loudly, "Everyone, use demons to sacrifice to this lotus to fulfill the Louguan Dao immortal's way of refining demons, and you can make the red lotus bloom! Now that the lotus has opened a line, everyone, whatever means you have, feel free to unleash them!"

After speaking, he flicked his finger and shot that line of blood light and many demon lords into the red lotus.

Only to see the red lotus blood fire suddenly rise, burning more and more brilliantly!

Li Xiuzuan grinned, "Refreshing!"

After speaking, he also took a long arrow from his waist, with several living souls of demonic cultivators hanging on the arrow head, and threw them onto the red lotus.

With these two taking the lead, others also took out demon lords and demon weapons sealed in magic treasures, soul banners and bone swords, and threw them one by one toward the red lotus.

Only to see the karmic fire rising higher and higher, and that outermost layer of petals peeling off bit by bit...

Moonlight poured down like mercury, plating the entire mirror lake into a flowing silver plate.

The lake surface was calm to the point of being eerie, as if the jade plate of the sky had been overturned here; at this moment, even the handle of the Big Dipper was clearly distinguishable.

Suddenly, ripples spread from the center of the lake, and as the silver-like light spots jumped, dozens of dark shadows were rising from the deep water.

"You righteous cultivators, you fed our demonic sect fellow Daoists to the lotus flower to open this treasure! One by one, you speak righteously, but in reality, you are ruthless and extremely hypocritical!"

Shi Wuliang took the lead with the Heavenly Demon Ten Thousand Transformations and rushed out from under the lake surface.

When the first demonic shadow pierced the water surface, the startled water droplets condensed into a pearl curtain in mid-air.

Countless demonic shadows were reflected in the water droplets, transforming into thousands, making it difficult for everyone to lock onto his true body, only seeing countless blood eyes opening, and millions of giant hands opening blood eyes in their palms, covering the sky and sun.

Following closely were the second and third demonic shadows, with layers of white bone demon gods lifting a towering demonic body, and the arrogant laughter was endless.

The true disciple of the White Bone Demon City of the Yin Sha Sea manifested his demonic body, and with a shake of his body, he turned into a thousand-foot white bone demon god!

There was also a bald, scale-less Capricorn fish, holding nine skulls in its mouth, floating out of the water surface. Only to see those nine skulls forming a circle, with a monk with a face like a crown of jade and red lips and white teeth sitting cross-legged on top.

He reached out and scooped up the Capricorn fish, which instantly turned into an incarnation guarding behind him.

"The Demon Sense Sect is right; this little monk is the current walker of the Heart Buddha Temple, and I also want to experience the new talents of the righteous path... to see if the world's luck is the Dao growing and the demon disappearing, or the Dao disappearing and the demon growing!"

A red-haired, red-furred Hou stood up and stepped on the water.

The black-clothed Daoist held in its arms was not afraid of the corpse qi on its body at all, and the bell in his hand rang, making people's hearts and minds shake, unable to control themselves.

"Why don't you all have a great slaughter, and let me pick up two corpses to try it out?"

"How many people in the world have refined the corpse of a First Rank Jin Dan?"

Cui Dan's face changed, and he counted them one by one: "Demon Sense Sect, White Bone Demon City, Heart Buddha Temple, Corpse-Driving Sect, Six Paths Reincarnation Sect, Ten Thousand Spirits Five Poisons Sect..."

"With so many sects and major teachings of the demonic sect arriving, you must know that this is the blessed land of the Louguan Sect. Aren't you afraid that the seals left by the predecessors of the Louguan Sect will beat you until your souls are scattered?"

"And outside the blessed land, there are Primordial Spirit True Immortals; how dare you act so recklessly?"

The Jin Dan true disciple of the White Bone Demon City laughed, "All fellow Daoists of the demonic sect who can reach this position must know one truth: whether it is poisoning the world or staying out of trouble, the most important thing for the demonic path to achieve something is..."

"Dare to think and dare to do!" Shi Wuliang took over the conversation, "Those who are hesitant and cannot seize every opportunity have long been refined into resources by us!"

The true disciple of the Corpse-Driving Sect also chuckled, "The demonic path must dare to do; whether you can survive and escape is the ability tested after doing it."

"Otherwise, even if you have thousands of backhands and ten thousand means, if you are unwilling to take risks and fight for that line of survival, you will sooner or later be forced to a dead end and refined into magic treasures and demon lords."

He touched the red-haired, red-furred Hou and laughed, "If I hadn't secretly dug up the ancestor's grave when I was in the Penetrating Law stage and invited an ancestor down, I fear I would have been refined into a Golden Corpse by my master before I even achieved the pill!"

"How could I have refined him into an Undying Bone Demon instead?"

A demonic Daoist of the True Transmission Dao had the appearance of an immortal, laughing and saying: "I have already cast a hex to ask the ancestor! The Louguan ancestor is the ancestor of our Dao, and the ancestor agreed that the blessed land also has a share for us, but we must bear the consequences ourselves!"

Zheng Yin, with the Heavenly Dragon wrapped around his body, was majestic and intimidating, coldly saying: "What a crooked theory!"

And on the demonic side, Shi Wuliang said: "Then, shall we fight now, or wait for the red lotus to bloom and then try our means?"

Before everyone could answer, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus changed.

Initially, it was just a touch of cinnabar color seeping from the tips of the petals, but in the blink of an eye, it spread like a prairie fire.

The outermost layer of petals curled and stretched outward, each looking like a solidified waterfall of fire, with golden patterns like molten lava floating on the surface.

The moment this layer of petals fell completely.

The entire red lotus suddenly erupted with crimson-gold light, dyeing the hundred-mile lake surface into a blood pool!

The Daoist of the True Transmission Dao flew into mid-air, looking down at the entire red lotus, his face showing a strange color: "Not right, this lotus flower is too demonic; it doesn't look like a proper Daoist lotus flower!"

The clouds above had long since dispersed, and the bright moon and stars appeared. You must know that the bright moon in the blessed land was just a Mirage Dragon Pearl, and the great sun was just a fire bead surrounded by a group of fire crows, and the stars were just distorted starlight, with no substantial origin.

But at this moment, both the bright moon and the great sun manifested in the sky.

The Big Dipper pointed, and the stars in the correct positions emerged...

Then rays of light fell, and a ray of light as thick as a thumb fell from the mouth of the jade toad on the bright moon, just like the spiritual liquid in the jade toad's mouth.

And above the great sun, a three-legged fire crow wrapped in solar true fire circled down.

Those two rays of light fell straight into the red lotus, making everyone's eyes turn red!

"Imperial Moon Flowing Pulp!"

"Sun Flare Flowing Pulp?"

"Not right, this is the essence refined from the Imperial Flowing Pulp and Sun Flare; the Lunar Taiyin Immortal Light and the Solar Sun Immortal Light are the supreme treasures refined by the sun and moon of the blessed land over a thousand years. Even the Immortal Han's Dew-Catching Plate of the past could only refine one such ray a day, specifically for the enjoyment of Primordial Spirit True Immortals!"

"Get out of the way, all of you..."

A blade of ice-soul light suddenly cracked the lake from under the lake surface, rolling the figures of several people who were close into the blade light and freezing them.

Liu Ruyan transformed her body into an immortal, unleashed the Ascending Heaven Worshipping Moon Step of the Guanghan Palace ancestor, and instantly arrived on the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Regardless of the karmic fire burning her body, her long blade rolled up the light of the moon, and then she plunged into the lake.

"Leave the Taiyin Immortal Light!"

Many people were almost crazy, chasing after her, but Liu Ruyan had already opened her mouth to swallow the moonlight, laughing loudly: "Haha, I have succeeded! What is the use of you bastards chasing after me?"

"Even if you swallow the immortal light, I can still refine the essence of the immortal light from your flesh!"

The true disciple of the Corpse-Driving Sect riding the red-haired Hou had blood-red eyes.

Seeing the moonlight immortal light that Liu Ruyan's flesh couldn't suppress, her bones and flesh crystal clear like mutton-fat jade, he became even more uncomposed!

If he could seize that ray of immortal light, he could transform his flesh into a Flying Yaksha, with ferocity a hundred times greater than now.

Stepping into the Yin Spirit in one step!

But now that the Taiyin Immortal Light had been seized, the remaining Solar Immortal Light could not be refined by evil spirits at all. Whoever refined it would die, so how could he not go crazy?

Liu Ruyan ignored him, focusing solely on escaping while refining the immortal light in her body.

The Solar Immortal Light fell on the golden lotus. Following the seizure of the Taiyin Immortal Light, it seemed to be startled, and immediately moved, fast as a divine ray, just a golden line, shooting toward Jiang Shang.

Jiang Shang subconsciously sacrificed the Great Sun Golden Cloud Pill behind his head, and with just a touch, he collected that ray of immortal light.

For a time, nearly half of the people present looked over.

Lei Zhuzi had the Five Elements Divine Thunder rotating, blocking in front of Jiang Shang, and said coldly: "This object has been obtained by my Qian Shidi; I would like to see who dares to make things difficult!"

The Five Elements Divine Thunder roared, and the Two Instruments Divine Thunder rotated!

The prototype of the Great Supernatural Power of Mastering Five Thunders was unleashed. Only seeing a black and white thunder light rotating like a Taiji diagram being struck by Lei Zhuzi, countless Yuan Magnetic Divine Thunders exploded within it in an instant. All the metal magic treasures within a thousand miles trembled, involuntarily being rolled into that thunder light.

With just one thunder, it shocked everyone; no one did not know that if that black and white thunder light exploded, it would surely shake heaven and earth.

Lei Zhuzi did not forget to look back and say: "Qian Shidi, refine the immortal light quickly. Next, Yan Yan Shixiong still needs to take action to compete for several items, so I fear I won't be able to protect you!"

Jiang Shang immediately swallowed the Solar Immortal Light, together with the Great Sun Golden Cloud external pill, into his belly to refine.

At this time, besides the sun and moon stars above, five large stars of red, black, green, white, and yellow emerged, and five rays of five-colored qi also descended, falling straight onto the red lotus.

"Five Luminaries Qi!"

Having obtained the sun, moon, and five elements, the second layer of petals of the red lotus suddenly split open...

After everyone saw clearly what the five rays of immortal light were, everyone became thoroughly restless.

"Innate Five Elements Qi, it is Innate Five Elements Qi!"

"Innate First Wood Qi, Innate Second Wood Qi, Innate Seventh Metal Qi, Innate Eighth Metal Qi... Yin and Yang divided, the five elements are complete; there are actually ten rays of innate qi!"

Everyone could no longer hold back, and in an instant, I don't know how many people killed their way toward the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Five-colored mysterious light rotated, and Lan Jiu drove seven flame dragons to circle the red lotus, and the Gan-Li Seven-Flavor Taiyin Zhenhuo was urged more and more fiercely.

It almost merged with the invisible and colorless divine fire outside the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Hua Daier also took action to help...

In an instant, several people were swallowed by the flame dragons, and the Gan-Li Seven-Flavor Taiyin Zhenhuo was like golden amber. Those trapped inside were unable to move at all, their whole bodies gradually becoming transparent, and even their blood was burning.

Their skin and flesh melted first, exposing their bones and internal organs, and each Jin Dan operated the Five Elements Qi, wanting to protect their internal organs, but they also quickly turned to ashes.

Even the essence of the Jin Dan was swallowed by the flame dragons!

"How dare you!"

Zheng Yin saw a Zheng family disciple being refined to death like this, and he was furious, unleashing his full power.

The Dragon-Riding Method, blessed by the Golden Mouth and Jade Words, struck toward the two of them like the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons.

Hua Daier reminded Lan Jiu: "Throw that person out!"

Lan Jiu glanced at her, secretly thinking that this woman was indeed ruthless and witty.

The two teamed up, and with a sweep of the five-colored mysterious light, the flower fox sable suddenly turned to the size of a divine elephant, and spat out a bronze cauldron from its mouth toward the Dragon-Riding Method.

Hua Daier grabbed the streamer flag and pried the bronze cauldron, smashing it toward Zheng Yin!

Xia Yi in the bronze cauldron laughed long: "Lan Jiu, Hua Daier! I knew you couldn't trap me for long..."

He had just urged the Hanhai Cauldron, wanting to turn back and suppress the two, when he saw a heavenly dragon carrying peerless power rushing toward his face, with five-colored mysterious light sweeping behind him, and Hua Daier also shouted an incantation: "Zhong!"

Three terrifying supernatural powers collided on the bronze cauldron at the same time.

Erupting with a giant sound like a great bell, the god's figure in the cauldron suddenly collapsed, and Xia Yi was knocked dizzy, and when he crawled up again, he was already disheveled and vomiting blood!

At this time, Lan Jiu had already picked the Innate Five Elements Qi, and he divided Yin and Yang, keeping the Innate Yang Five Elements for himself.

He threw the Yin Five Elements to Hua Daier!

"You refine it first to achieve the Jin Dan!"

Lan Jiu shouted, the five-colored mysterious light rotated, and the Great Supernatural Power of Five Elements Great Escape was unleashed, which could be called unbreakable. In an instant, countless spells and supernatural powers smashed onto him.

He only had his body slightly swaying, looking at the rotating five-light fluctuations, occasionally one or two rays of mysterious light were weak.

But as long as the other four divine lights transformed, they recovered as before in the blink of an eye.

This kind of near-unbreakable power made Cui Dan's eyes red with envy. He also had five-colored mysterious light, but he could only unleash two elements at the same time; facing so many spells and supernatural powers, he feared he wouldn't be able to hold on for even two breaths.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt something, seeing seven rays of spiritual light descending from the Big Dipper in the sky, and immediately knew that the thing he had been waiting for for a long time had arrived!

He shouted at Li Xiuzuan: "Protect me!"

Qian Tang, Zhi Society, Gao Zhao, and Li Xiuzuan teamed up to break a gap for him, letting Cui Dan meet the immortal light.

At this time, the Luo Fu Fuyouzi exclaimed: "Big Dipper Mending Heaven Rest-Life Immortal Light!"

Cui Dan intercepted a ray of spiritual light, and with just a roll of black mysterious light, he took it into his dantian, his face changing wildly, and shouted at Qian Tang behind him: "Brother Qian, this is immortal light that can mend heaven and change fate, giving us the opportunity to re-cultivate the Jin Dan and achieve First Rank!"

Qian Tang heard this, and the sword light he slashed out also shook, hurriedly saying to the three people beside him: "Everyone, hold on! I'll be right back!"

Li Xiuzuan used the "Win" character formula, temporarily borrowing the power of dozens of losers to raise himself to the level of a near-First Rank Jin Dan. Hearing this and seeing Qian Tang turn and leave, his face also changed wildly.

Because at least three First Rank Jin Dan proud talents and more than ten cultivators only second to them had sacrificed magic treasures and supernatural powers to kill him.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry..."

"You guys hurry up, I'm very anxious!"

"It's going to cost me my life!"
