Chapter 408

At this moment, the high reaches of the void were still accompanied by raging currents and sudden, violent gale winds, as if thunder were overhead and a lightning strike were imminent, ready at any time to unleash a torrential downpour to scatter across the wilderness.

But following that, the auspicious golden light spread out in layers.

In a moment, the rain ceased, and the sky and earth grew still and clear.

Only a round of bright, pure radiance was slowly lifted by the auspicious golden light, revealing itself above the clouds.

That radiance appeared like a scorching sun, yet also like a cold moon, reflecting and shining with the clouds in the sky, appearing both illusory and real.

Qingzhi looked up and saw that within the light, there was vaguely the figure of a woman, her hair combed into a high bun, dressed in graceful, elegant robes, her bearing as noble and magnificent as a fairy of the Moon Palace, so bright and beautiful that she was beyond compare...

Beside her, cloud-like neon vapors formed into the shapes of a dragon and tiger, circling and winding around her body, surging up and down, naturally possessing a profound and mysterious aura of the high void.

And at this moment, those two dragon and tiger spirits were pulling at the spiritual energy of the earth veins at Mount Lutai, transforming in an instant into a surging torrent, floating and rising to slowly converge into the sky above the clouds.

"What grade is this? Has she finally achieved the First Grade?"

Qingzhi looked at the strange scene above the clouds, scratching her head in confusion, her face full of bewilderment.

Years ago, after returning from Ququan Heaven and paying respects to the Great Sage Candle Dragon, Qingzhi had long since sensed the movements during Wei Lingjiang's core formation through the essence law contract within her body.

The so-called rising of the heavens and descending of the earth, the exhaustion of yin and the purity of yang—although it was only a vague sensation, it was undoubtedly of the highest grade, laying the foundation for her future Great Dao of Longevity!

However, after she and Chen Hang parted ways in the East Sea and arrived at Mount Lutai with trepidation.

Qingzhi was still agonizing over how to comfort her young mistress, her heart full of sorrow, when she learned that her young mistress was still in seclusion in the mountains.

And this time, it was actually a death seclusion for core formation.

After being anxious for a long time, seeing Wei Lingjiang emerge from seclusion safe and sound today, Qingzhi felt as if a great stone pressing on her heart had been removed; her spirit was refreshed, and she couldn't help but want to jump for joy.

She rested her chin in her hands, looked up at the sky, and secretly thought to herself:

"Originally, because of the Zhanran Void Essence Qi, the timing was slightly lacking, and in the end, she only refined a Second Grade Jin Dan. It was still the old hag Zhu Jing who sought an unknown profound art for her, so that she could conveniently dissolve the Jin Dan grade without excessively damaging her cultivation, which is why she decided to continue her seclusion.

But looking at the atmosphere today, she should have succeeded in condensing the core again... I just don't know what the quality of the Jin Dan is exactly?"

After pondering for a while, Qingzhi saw that she really couldn't see any clues, and she shrugged her shoulders helplessly.

Just as she was about to fly into the sky to ask her young mistress clearly, a hand suddenly grabbed her collar from behind, pulling her tight as if she were a cat.

"Sun and moon pouring spirit, brilliantly riding the void, qi dividing into dragon and tiger, profound light forming an image.

The so-called seizing of the mechanisms of heaven and earth, capturing the phenomena of wind and clouds, is exactly this! With such a mysterious and magnificent appearance, Lingjiang has undoubtedly achieved a First Grade core; you don't need to go and ask."

The suddenly appearing Zhu Jing looked at the sky and couldn't help but smile, her joy overflowing in her expression.

Zhu Jing put Qingzhi down, ignoring her angry glare, and just sighed to herself, the expression on her face quite complex and inexplicable:

"She finally succeeded in cultivating this profound art... Little Blue Bird, do you know that before our sect's Immortal Yonghe achieved the Dao, he met an immortal outside the mountain gate? After sitting and talking for three months, he was taught twenty-two methods by that nameless immortal sage and was also gifted an ancient Buddha relic.

And after Ancestor Yonghe achieved the Dao, feeling that the path of cultivation for the younger disciples in the sect was difficult, like standing on the edge of an abyss, trembling at every step, he extracted profound principles from the 'Chonghua True Chapter' among those twenty-three methods, immediately gathered collective wisdom, deleted the complex and summarized the essentials, and finally created the profound art of Chonghua Lu Yusheng to facilitate the cultivation of the younger disciples.

It is a pity that since the creation of Chonghua Lu Yusheng, those who could cultivate it were truly few; today, Lingjiang was actually able to accomplish this feat, which is truly not easy... not easy!"

As the saying goes, the path to longevity is rugged, and there is no regret after the core is formed—

For cultivators in this world to condense a Jin Dan, it requires the combination of internal and external medicines to achieve success.

To prove a High-Grade Jin Dan, it requires everything from timing and human effort to geographical advantages and destiny; nothing can be missing.

And once the Jin Dan is achieved, its grade can no longer be easily changed.

If one is not satisfied with their own grade, there is no way, and generally, one can only abandon the Jin Dan, disperse the water and fire of the body and spirit, and start all over again.

However, self-destructing a Jin Dan is by no means a trivial matter; even with the help of immortal secret medicines and the protection of sect elders, one must suffer greatly, nearly losing half their life.

And falling to the Cave-Mystic Realm is still considered a mercy from Heaven.

Even if cultivation fades and one falls all the way to the Purple Palace, many people with unstable foundations might even fall to Foundation Establishment, which is also quite possible.

Cultivating back up again is naturally hard and troublesome, falling far behind the talents of the same generation, wasting one's efforts in vain.

With this situation ahead.

When cultivators in this world explode mercury to condense a core, they are all extremely cautious and careful.

Those who can boldly abandon their Jin Dan, except for those reckless people who don't know the height of heaven and the depth of earth, are all talents and geniuses who are extremely confident in their own aptitude.

But the "Chonghua Lu Yusheng" profound art specially created by Immortal Yonghe is different.

This art can not only regulate clarity and turbidity and subdue water and fire, but it also has the supreme wonderful use of returning to the origin and tracing the source.

This means that once this profound art is cultivated, a cultivator can re-decompose the Jin Dan already condensed in their body into the sum of internal and external medicines.

Although some loss is inevitable in the process, at least half can be preserved, and the cultivator's realm will also retreat and stop at the Cave-Mystic Third Layer—the Innate Golden Mercury Realm, and their cultivation will not be damaged too much.

It can both preserve the form and nourish the nature, and it also saves half the hard work of condensing internal medicine.

No matter from what perspective.

Chonghua Lu Yusheng is an out-and-out profound art and wonderful method!

However, looking at the vast Red Brightness, since Chonghua Lu Yusheng was created by Immortal Yonghe, the number of Red Brightness disciples who could cultivate this profound art is definitely not many; it is evident that the profound meaning within is difficult indeed.

Today, Wei Lingjiang was able to condense a core again with this method, and the core is of the First Grade.

This indeed makes Zhu Jing rejoice endlessly and secretly heave a long sigh of relief.

"Chonghua Lu Yusheng... Red Brightness still has this kind of Dao method? Why have I never heard of it? You are indeed not a good person, hiding things from Qingzhi!"

Qingzhi was surprised when she heard this, and after muttering to herself, she asked in confusion:

"But since the core is already First Grade, why are the strange phenomena still continuing? This doesn't look like the dragon and tiger strange phenomena when forming a Jin Dan."

At the moment, the earth qi is leaping and flowing, the spiritual breath is aggressive, as if a hundred rivers from different sources are all returning to the sea, surging backwards with a rumble towards the extreme sky, all converging towards Wei Lingjiang's body.

This situation is menacing, and as time passes little by little, it has a trend of intensifying.

Encompassing a hundred miles, the sound is deafening!

"This is the Righteous Heaven Division—one of the supreme fundamental supernatural powers of our Red Brightness." Zhu Jing answered in a calm voice.

As the eight sects and six schools of the Xudu Great Heaven, they are the orthodox transmission of the Immortal Dao.

Yuchen already carries twenty-five orthodox methods, Taifu records forty-nine Shangqing true talismans, and Huzhao has those eight parts of true texts and six killing arts.

Red Brightness is naturally no exception.

This sect has always been known for its sixteen profound canons, which are the true accumulation and eternal foundation within the sect.

Each profound canon is a spiritual chapter of the void, a secret language of the supreme sage, known as profound among the profound, wonderful among the wonderful.

Righteous Heaven Division is one of these sixteen profound canons!

To achieve this method, one needs to both gather the essence of the firmament and collect all kinds of spiritual mountain earth qi to synthesize a true seal.

Although the Nine Emperors Constant Yang Golden Palace Fan Dongtian is pure in spiritual energy, the natural earth qi is ultimately not as good as the Great Thousand World, lacking some subtle changes.

What Wei Lingjiang is doing now is only the last step; once she completely collects the remaining earth qi, the supernatural power of Righteous Heaven Division will naturally be cultivated.

"If it weren't for this great supernatural power, Lingjiang's time to emerge from seclusion would probably have been even earlier... And to be able to take a different path by borrowing the heaven-human resonance during core formation and cultivate Righteous Heaven Division in one go.

In the vast Red Brightness, how many such figures can be found?!"

Although Zhu Jing had no expression on her face, her heart was extremely excited.

And Wei Lingjiang's movement of collecting earth qi naturally alarmed many Red Brightness sect elders.

Qingzhi saw that magic light of escape rose from the five palaces and seven temples, and many supreme true elders left their cave dwellings and gathered here.

The clouds and mists were intertwined, changing and boundless, as if the galaxy were shining and flickering, with a magnificent atmosphere!

Facing the congratulations of many fellow disciples, Zhu Jing answered politely on one hand, while her gaze turned among the crowd, as if looking for someone.

Until a gorgeous cloud raft drifted from the distant sky, with thousands of clear qi lingering and ten thousand auspicious vapors following, almost having the appearance of an immortal palace descending.

When Zhu Jing met the gaze of the beautiful female cultivator on the raft, who was surrounded by the Miaole Heavenly Maidens, had phoenix eyebrows and long eyes, and was dressed in male attire.

Only then did her eyes freeze, slightly revealing a solemn expression.

"First Grade core, this is already an achievement surpassing Sima Fang, Xie Tan, and that Left Peng Sect. Just as you and I agreed before, in the Red Pine Palace, my lineage will fully assist you."

The beautiful female cultivator nodded slightly to Zhu Jing, looked at Wei Lingjiang who was performing her practice, and said in a calm voice.

And looking up from here.

Seeing the earth qi floating in the sky, like an old dragon in the clouds turning its scales, mysterious and unpredictable—

An old Daoist in gorgeous robes with a face like an autumn moon nodded and praised:

"To cultivate one of our sect's sixteen profound canons upon first forming a Jin Dan, and it is even a great supernatural power like Righteous Heaven Division—truly the unicorn and phoenix of the Eastern State, the pillar of Lutai. With such beautiful quality, Heaven truly blesses our Red Brightness!"

Once these words were spoken, it naturally caused a group of Red Brightness supreme truths to echo one after another, and the surroundings were filled with sounds of joy.

Although Righteous Heaven Division is slightly inferior to Red Brightness's Two Worlds Dust in terms of attack, it cannot be considered Red Brightness's number one killing art.

But when it comes to being wonderful and boundless, it firmly ranks at the forefront of the sixteen profound canons, truly possessing the great ability to capture qi and monitor truth, and is highly praised by the true ones of the Nine Provinces.

And to form a core twice without losing one's will, experiencing hardships, and finally cultivating such a great supernatural power.

Such an achievement—

Is truly rare and precious, and also respectable and awesome!

"First Grade core, and also cultivated Righteous Heaven Division. Yuanshu Zhenjun Zhu Jing, in my opinion, if there are no accidents, your disciple will probably shine brilliantly at the Danyuan Assembly and win the championship in one fell swoop!"

A black-robed Daoist with a square face and broad mouth, stepping on a fish-dragon, spoke:

"At the last Danyuan Assembly, the two Junior Brothers Su and Wang were defeated by Junyao's thunder method. Although it was a pity, it was not an accident; human power was exhausted. But this time, with your disciple making a move, our Red Brightness's chances of winning will greatly increase."

"Chances of winning greatly increase?"

Not far from the black-robed Daoist, a female cultivator with a high bun shook her head and said:

"Xiao Xiao Shixiong You's words are wrong. First Grade core, what a great achievement this is? How many people in the current Nine Provinces and Four Seas have accomplished it? Not to mention Righteous Heaven Division, just with this core grade, True Person Wei already has a sixty percent chance of winning at the Danyuan Assembly!"

Most of the Red Brightness elders nodded in agreement, quite approving of these words.

Although Zhu Jing remained calm on the surface when she heard this, seeing her own disciple being praised by others, she couldn't help but feel a trace of joy deep in her heart.

She was just about to say a few polite words, but when she caught a glimpse of the hesitant and complex expression on Qingzhi's face.

For a moment, Zhu Jing seemed to remember something, and her expression stiffened slightly.

"That's right, Yuchen's Chen Hang also achieved a First Grade core. Counting his past battle records, when they meet at the Danyuan Assembly in the future, this child will probably be a great enemy for Lingjiang; one must be on guard!

Besides this, there is also Yin Wuji of the West Sea Plague Sect..."

Yin Wuji naturally needs no mention; this person is known as the greatest variable in the Plague Sect within three thousand years, is the grand-disciple of Daoist Lord Weiyu, and is deeply valued by this Daoist Lord.

Although there is no news of Yin Wuji forming a core yet, judging from his usual performance, the possibility of him achieving a First Grade core is not small, and he cannot be underestimated.

And as for Chen Hang...

"The down-and-out small cultivator from the Southern Region years ago... could he also have such good fortune today?"

After a moment of silence, there was finally a complex expression on Zhu Jing's face.

She exchanged glances with the long-eyebrowed Daoist beside her, and both were speechless.

The long-eyebrowed Daoist had known Zhu Jing for many years and had a tacit understanding.

Back then, he had firmly stood on Zhu Jing's side and even gave away the White Water Taiyi Land and many rare treasures to the Zhuoguang Palace in exchange for the help of the daughter of the previous Sect Master, which could be said to be the first batch of people to place a bet.

And on the matter of dealing with Chen Hang, the long-eyebrowed Daoist and Zhu Jing were also on the same side.

Both wanted to send Chen Hang far away, not wanting the offspring of a demonic thief to have too many entanglements with the beautiful jade of Red Brightness.

But looking at it now...

"Heaven's destiny is inconstant! Who could have expected that a pond fish would fly to the sky one day, and the previous precautions would now become a joke? It was the old man and these people who were meddling in other people's business..."

Chen Hang has now achieved a First Grade core. In the eyes of Yuchen's true ones, he only needs to polish his supernatural powers and cultivation well, and he will surely be able to shine brilliantly at the Danyuan Assembly in the future.

And just as Zhu Jing and the others' thoughts changed, and a group of Red Brightness elders discussed heatedly.

In a moment, the clouds dispersed and the wind stopped, the sun was in the sky, and only the infinite earth qi returned to the earth's crust, and the hundred-mile rivers and mountains were all silent.

That round of bright light slowly retracted.

A few breaths passed, and Wei Lingjiang's figure appeared from within.

"All my hard work... has finally come to this day..."

Her eyelids drooped slightly, she exhaled gently, then looked at the long sky, as if she suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but smile brightly.

First Grade core.

And also cultivated Righteous Heaven Division, one of the sixteen profound canons.

Whether it was the previously competing Zuo Peng Zong, Sima Fang, or Xie Tan.

Compared to her, these people would all pale in comparison.

As for the likes of Song Lun and Guo Daijun, they would be even more inferior!

"First Grade core, the Pure Yang Dao Fruit is probably already in my grasp. If I become a Dao Child again, in the future, can I let myself rain and raise clouds, and be the master of a state?"

Suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, Wei Lingjiang inexplicably remembered Zhu Jing's previous instructions to her, the words still ringing in her ears.

She raised her hand gently, as if wanting to hold something, her eyes filled with a moment of trance, suddenly having an illusion of relief.

The surroundings seemed to suddenly become quiet, with only the occasional wind blowing on her face, as if it had come from thousands of miles away, bringing the taste of the past.

"This time... can I finally act according to my own wishes?"

She whispered in her heart.

And after putting away her magic power, first paying respects to Zhu Jing, and then exchanging pleasantries with the group of Red Brightness elders who had come to congratulate her.

Wei Lingjiang finally found a gap, quietly called Qingzhi, who was jumping up and down in the distance, to her side, and affectionately touched her head.

"Young Mistress, if you become a Dao Child, can you share a few cave heavens for me to play with? I want to take them to Ququan Heaven to show off, so that everyone knows how powerful Qingzhi is today!"

Qingzhi squinted, her face full of enjoyment.

Wei Lingjiang smiled slightly, didn't pay much attention to her nonsense, and went straight to the point:

"I formed my core for the second time and also cultivated supernatural powers, which took a very long time, and I haven't left seclusion for a long time. Have there been any major events during this period?"

"Uh..."

Qingzhi's expression stiffened, and the smile on her face suddenly vanished.

"The Wei family or the Shangyu Ai family?"

Wei Lingjiang suddenly became alert, inexplicably feeling a bit anxious, and asked urgently through sound transmission:

"And Chen Chen Shidi, is he still learning the Dao under Old Lu? At Floating Jade Lake, Master once promised me that if Chen Chen Shidi's cultivation was truly outstanding and he was devoted to the profound, she would personally pick him up from Old Lu's sect and bring him into Red Brightness to cultivate! Now, what is going on?"

"..."

Qingzhi was speechless for a moment.

Wei Lingjiang was rarely anxious, and before she could continue speaking, she was suddenly interrupted by Zhu Jing, who was watching coldly from the side. Then, a middle-aged Daoist riding a green lion with an extraordinary bearing swept away the vast gale winds, arched his hands from afar to pay respects, with a smile on his face.

The long-bearded Daoist is a personal disciple of Daoist Lord Taiwen Wen Miao Cheng. Although he has not been in the sect for long, he is of noble status and different from ordinary people.

Seeing this person come to congratulate her in person, Wei Lingjiang had no choice but to suppress her thoughts, performed a salute, and exchanged pleasantries with the Daoist.

For a time.

As various great powers and supreme truths approached one after another, another wave of congratulations and well-wishes arose, bustling and lively.

However, soon, a deep and thick Dao chant was suddenly issued, not like a human voice, but truly like heavenly skill.

In an instant, all the cultivators in the field were awe-struck, paused their voices, and hurriedly looked up at the sky.

Only to see infinite light clouds hanging down in an instant, burning bright like fire, illuminating the whole sky as if dyed in crimson red, obscuring the appearance of the sun and moon, and hiding the stars in the firmament.

Only a piece of great red brightness remained, with nothing else!

And in that great red light, a young Daoist dressed in red robes sat in the void, looking down, with a faint smile on his face.

"To think it actually alarmed this ancestor..."

Zhu Jing was shocked.

Many Red Brightness supreme truths saw this situation, all descended from the clouds, performed salutes and worship, and said in unison:

"Disciples pay respects to Ancestor Chongxu Zhide!"

"No need for formalities. It is rare that a junior in our sect has achieved a First Grade core today. Since Chen Chen Shidi Taiwen Wen Miao Cheng has gone to play outside the heavens, and Zhao Kui is in seclusion and has no time, then I can only come for a walk myself."

The young Daoist-looking Daoist Lord Chongxu Zhide waved his hand. He looked at Wei Lingjiang twice and asked:

"Righteous Heaven Division?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wei Lingjiang stepped out of the crowd and said respectfully: "Reporting to Ancestor, it is."

"To be able to cultivate this art upon first forming a Jin Dan is not in vain for your many years of hard work..."

Daoist Lord Chongxu Zhide said with a smile:

"Wei Lingjiang, your fate is extremely noble, with great luck added to your body, you were already different from the ordinary. After stepping onto the Immortal Dao, you soared into the sky. Now you have studied Chonghua Lu Yusheng, broken through seclusion twice, finally achieved a First Grade core, and also cultivated Righteous Heaven Division, which is truly rare and precious, and also boosted the momentum of our Red Brightness!

Since that is the case... I will agree to the matter you requested before on behalf of the other two ancestors!"

Once these words were spoken, the complexions of the Red Brightness supreme truths below were different.

Some were suspicious, some were silent, and some were secretly wringing their hands and sighing, but no one dared to discuss it, and all their expressions were tense.

"It's done!"

Zhu Jing and the long-eyebrowed Daoist exchanged glances, bright light flashing in their eyes, inevitably happy.

Wei Lingjiang also suppressed the excitement in her heart and bowed to express her gratitude.

"I just pushed the boat along with the current. Whether this matter can be accomplished still depends on yourself. Furthermore..." Daoist Lord Chongxu Zhide paused his voice at this time.

His expression moved, he suddenly looked up to the east, seeing the vast marsh, clouds and smoke drifting, the atmosphere magnificent.

And a golden bell on the Zhouxing Hall was being struck hard by several Daoists.

The ringing sound resounded through the sky, the sound like thunder, one after another, crashing into the clouds!

Seeming to notice his gaze, at the profound altar of the Zhouxing Hall, Tongxuan also turned slightly, nodding to him to show respect.

"Is it such a coincidence? Yuchen Chen Hang's true transmission ceremony and our sect's Wei Lingjiang's seclusion breaking period are actually on the same day?"

After returning the salute, Daoist Lord Chongxu Zhide's gaze turned to the handsome Daoist beside Tongxuan, who had black clothes and large sleeves and was wearing a golden crown.

He revealed a thoughtful expression, put away his divine intent, and looked at Wei Lingjiang who was respectfully performing the salute under the clouds, actually raising his eyebrows rarely.

"It's a pity that Chen Chen Shidi Taiwen Wen Miao Cheng went to play outside the heavens, and I don't know what kind of hexagram he calculated using that Two Rituals Life Plate... Is today's situation still within his expectations?"

Daoist Lord Chongxu Zhide thought to himself.

Seeing their ancestor suddenly pondering without a word, the Red Brightness supreme truths naturally would not make many movements.

And in the silence, many Red Brightness elders with profound cultivation also faintly heard the sound of bells and chimes, lost in thought.

A few could not help but use their great magic power to look solemnly towards the far east, their expressions different.

The long-eyebrowed Daoist shook his head secretly.

Zhu Jing had a cold expression and didn't look much.

"After the ancestor's dharma carriage leaves, don't think about slipping away, something big will definitely happen! You must tell me honestly!" Wei Lingjiang secretly swept a glance at Qingzhi and transmitted sound.

"Why is it me again?"

Qingzhi shrank her neck, her eyes dull, muttering in her heart:

"Am I dead? Am I going to die? I'm really going to die this time..."

On the other side.

In a desolate cave in the East Huan State.

Hearing the bells and chimes shaking at this time, Sect Master Pei Shuyang also smiled slightly.

He stood up, tidied the profound crown on his head, and said to Prince Chongyu, who was shaking his head and sighing at the opposite table:

"Now that the ceremony is over and the status has been completely determined, I will not keep the Prince any longer. I heard that the Chongyu Heaven has not been very peaceful recently. The Prince should return to the country early to reorganize the rivers and mountains."

Prince Chongyu glanced at Pei Shuyang and sighed:

"Your Yuchen's actions are really swift and decisive. I heard Yushu's words earlier and only prepared to come here to watch. As a result, before I could do anything, I was blocked by this incarnation of yours and wasted several years of effort here.

For the sake of a Chen Hang, you actually mobilized such a person to rack your brains. Is it worth it? It's surprising."

Pei Shuyang said calmly: "My true body is still in the Dharma Saint, just using an external incarnation for the ancestor's order. What does it count as? However..."

When he said this, Pei Shuyang suddenly smiled.

A trace of playfulness appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said:

"If you talk about surprises, I am quite surprised. With the Prince's ability, erasing this external incarnation of mine should not be a troublesome matter. You actually stayed here honestly for several years and never had the intention to make a move. This does not match the Prince's usual temperament."

Prince Chongyu's eyes turned cold, and he didn't rush to answer.

"I thought wrong before. I didn't know Tongxuan would value Chen Hang so much. Since you have already made full preparations, even including me who intervened, then even if I kill this incarnation of yours, what is the use... risking the damage of the Dao fruit and being struck by the Universe Lei Chi?"

After a long time, Prince Chongyu spoke slowly, feeling dispirited.

"During this period, I have troubled the two fellow Daoists. Later, please come to my hut to talk." Seeing his appearance, Pei Shuyang didn't pay much attention, just turned to the outside of the cave and arched his hands slightly.

Following his action, an old man and a young man appeared outside the cave.

Neither of them dared to be negligent and arched their hands to Pei Shuyang to return the salute.

Prince Chongyu was forced to reveal his whereabouts in the East Huan State by Pei Shuyang, who carried the unsealed Universe Lei Chi.

And the East Huan State is the territory of the Nine Truths and Zhongtian Dou Shu, shared by the two sects, so this move naturally could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the great ancestors of the two sects.

Out of the feelings of the eight sects and profound sects, both sides also sent a Great Yuanshu Zhenjun to help.

The sturdy old man from the Zhongtian Dou Shu Sect said:

"Sect Master Pei is too polite. Our families have had a friendship since we discussed the Heavenly Clothes Yan and Great Wisdom Monk together in the past. We have helped each other for many years, and this is what should be done."

The young man from the Nine Truths Sect followed:

"Furthermore, since Prince Chongyu was calculated into the game by Yuchen early on, how could he stir up wind and rain when he is intentional against unintentional? Pang Lao and I coming here is just better than nothing, slightly boosting the momentum."

The three looked at each other and nodded with a smile.

Seeing this scene, Prince Chongyu was unhappy and snorted coldly:

"You rebels really like to huddle together. If you hit one, a group can come!"

Pei Shuyang waved his hand: "The Prince is joking again. Do you think that because you are being wooed by the people of the Zhengxu Ji family, you are a loyal subject of the Dao Court? In the battle against heaven in the past, your father spent a lot of money."

Prince Chongyu's expression remained unchanged, only asking:

"Now that things have come to this, I am just curious, how did you Yuchen expect that I would enter the game? You made such arrangements early on."

"For this, you have to ask the ancestor."

Pei Shuyang was noncommittal.

Seeing that he couldn't get any words out of Pei Shuyang, Prince Chongyu didn't want to stay here any longer.

After leaving the cave, he moved his feet, instantly hitting the gale wind and qi barrier, and came to the firmament.

"He is truly a born Chongyu demon child... It was not easy, and there is another demon child..."

He looked at the Xiaoming Xiao Daze, stopped on Chen Hang for a while, as if wanting to remember this person's appearance, and let out a faint sigh.

But in the end, he still had no expression, performed the dharma formula, raised the demonic light like an abyss, and left the gale qi layer in the blink of an eye, never looking back.

"If I stayed for a moment longer, it would be convenient for me to carry out the ancestor's talisman, and unseal the Universe Lei Chi. I also yearn for the power of the Lei Chi."

Pei Shuyang took back his gaze and said regretfully: "This demon left quite decisively."

The two Great True Lords of the Nine Truths and Zhongtian Dou Shu Sect were shocked when they heard this, and both smiled bitterly and shook their heads.

Earth Abyss, Golden Drum Cave.

In the stunned gaze of Cui Jingzhong and Qiao Ting.

Above the void, the surging flames wrapping Qiao Yubi were suddenly slashed and extinguished by a burst of qi.

He opened his eyes, flicked his sleeves, and a sword intent that made all things in the world tremble in fear shook the void in an instant, tearing the sky and splitting the earth!

At the same time, the Pure Yang fire disaster that had besieged this layer of the Earth Abyss for nearly ten years and pressed down for ten thousand miles also slowly disappeared, as if it had been shattered and forced back by an invisible great power, temporarily putting away its fierce power.

"With the help of the Profound God Hidden Change, the injury has healed quite a bit. Forget it, at most five more years, and I can easily slash the fire disaster. Now is not the time..."

Qiao Yubi turned his thoughts, observed silently, and sighed in relief.

"Yuanshu Zhenjun!"

Cui Jingzhong was overjoyed. Just as he was about to step forward to pay respects, he saw Qiao Yubi suddenly give a light exclamation and turn his head to look to the east.

And after being surprised for a moment, Qiao Yubi laughed loudly, clapped his hands repeatedly, and his face showed joy.

"What is this?"

Cui Jingzhong and Qiao Ting were surprised in their hearts.

Qiao Yubi had always been dignified and upright, not smiling easily, and had never made such a move.

Seeing this today, it is inevitable that people are a bit confused.

"Has the Yuanshu Zhenjun passed the fire disaster?"

Qiao Ting spoke first.

"It is still a line short. Although I can fight, it is inevitable to be injured, and I have not achieved full success." Qiao Yubi said calmly: "These years, because I wanted to pass the fire disaster, you two were also trapped in the Golden Drum Cave, which was hard work. Actually, I don't need you to come here to serve me, delaying your cultivation, which is not good."

"Yuanshu Zhenjun overstates it. Passing the three disasters is a major event for the Yuanshu Zhenjun after all. Junior Sister Qiao Ting and I have nothing to do, so it doesn't count as anything." Cui Jingzhong asked carefully: "I don't know if just now was..."

Qiao Yubi pondered for a moment when he heard this.

His gaze turned between Qiao Ting and Cui Jingzhong, and finally he shook his head slightly, saying:

"Jingzhong, you come to the treasury later. I have something to entrust to you. You will take my place and send it to Chen Hang's hands yourself."

"Yes, yes."

Although Cui Jingzhong didn't know why, he nodded respectfully and responded repeatedly.

And Qiao Ting seemed to have thought of something, a flash of consideration passed through the bottom of her eyes, and she remained silent.

At the same time.

Another layer of the East Mi Earth Abyss.

The formless sword in the appearance of a white-clothed high-crowned man took back his gaze. Even with his cold and harsh temperament, he couldn't help but praise:

"The Zhongyi Sword Sect, it really lives up to its reputation, what a beautiful sword! Immortal Lord, what do you think of Qiao Yubi?"

"If you expect him to take over the cause and effect of the Wusheng, then that is looking for fish in a tree. He will never help you."

After a long time, a tired, old voice sounded:

"Compared to him, I am more interested in another junior. Yuchen's Great Cave Golden Bell is rarely struck, but it is also lively...

You said that the Wusheng Treasure Mirror once opened the seal of the Formless Lie Sword Cave, allowing someone who is not a descendant of the Red Dragon Xu family to enter the sword cave. Is that person the true transmission of Yuchen today?"

The formless sword nodded.

"He can enter the sword cave, no matter what benefits he got, he at least owed the Red Dragon Xu family a favor... That's good, that's good, let's see his fortune in the future..."

The old voice let out a faint sigh, getting lower and lower, until finally there was no movement at all.

The formless sword shook his head, flashed, and disappeared from the spot, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Nanchan State, Water-in-Contentment Fan Dongtian.

In the Golden Palace Qi Hut, seeing Chen Yushu lowering his eyes and not speaking in the pavilion, Chen Ying's forehead couldn't help but faintly sweat, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was a bit stiff.

In a trance, a chill seemed to rise from under his feet, crawling up his spine to the back of his neck, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

"It seems Chen Chan is really bold, actually colluding with the Haha Monk, letting her sister Chen Zhi hide in the Great Turning Wheel Temple. How arrogant and lawless, even ten thousand deaths would be hard to atone for. I almost want to admire her courage, but..."

At this time, a lazy voice suddenly sounded beside Chen Ying.

He turned his head to look, and a handsome man wearing a jade hairpin and dressed in crow-green cloth also turned his face, just meeting his gaze.

This person's eyebrows were like ink paintings, his eyes like lacquer, his spirit was magnificent, his bearing was leisurely, even among the current Chen clan, he could be considered outstanding. According to Chen Ying, before this person achieved the Dao, he had escaped several disasters by relying on this good skin.

When it comes to being unscrupulous, compared to this person, Chen Ying is ashamed of his inferiority.

"Chen Bai..."

Chen Ying's eyes turned cold, revealing a trace of killing intent.

Chen Bai didn't care, met Chen Ying's gaze, and continued:

"However, even if Chen Chan has a thousand faults, shouldn't Chen Ying also be held responsible this time?

If it weren't for his negligence, how could Chen Zhi be so easily taken away by the Haha Monk? Maybe the two were already accomplices! Father, in my opinion, if you want to punish, Chen Ying should be punished with Chen Chan!"

Chen Ying's expression was gloomy, and he couldn't help but touch the hilt of his sword.

And this tit-for-tat between the descendants made Chen Yushu a little interested.

He threw away the talisman message in his hand, looked at the two, and said with a smile:

"Chen Bai, if you were me, how would you deal with these two?"

"If you don't investigate strictly, how can you weigh the prestige?" Chen Bai raised his eyebrows, held his palm like a knife, and drew it lightly across his neck: "Father, please behead Chen Chan and Chen Ying to clean up our family style!"

Chen Ying had no expression.

Chen Yushu laughed loudly and waved his hand:

"Where have I ever had any family style here? It's too much, too much! Chen Ying is certainly negligent and fell into the Haha Monk's trap, but such a small mistake is not enough to die.

I have seen too many of your dramas of fighting in the same room, so let's slow down today."

Chen Ying was pardoned and bowed to the ground.

Chen Bai said regretfully: "Although Father is compassionate, that Chen Chan—"

Before he finished speaking, the door of the Fan Dongtian suddenly opened, and steaming clear qi rose, revealing an old man with a hunched back, holding a nine-section bamboo staff and hanging a small emerald green gourd on his left ear.

"Yushu, it's quite leisurely!"

The old man said with a smile.

"Xiao Xiao Shixiong Elder Mu Sou, it seems you have already talked to Daoist Lord Xuanming Wuxian? Congratulations, congratulations."

Seeing this old man appear, Chen Yushu took the initiative to walk out of the Golden Palace Qi Hut to welcome him, and the people below bowed respectfully.

And when passing by Chen Bai and Chen Ying, who were respectfully waiting on the steps.

Chen Yushu stopped his steps and suddenly said calmly:

"Chen Zhi is certainly not worth mentioning, but Chen Chan is still useful to me. She didn't follow my decree, which greatly hurt her father's heart. Don't kill her, go to the East Sea and catch her, throw her into the White Coating Bitter River, and lock her up for a few hundred years to repent slowly."

Chen Ying and Chen Bai exchanged glances, and finally Chen Bai asked:

"Dare to ask Father, what if Chen Chan resists?"

"She won't, unless she wants to see her mother's head." Chen Yushu's voice was calm.

Chen Bai blinked, not caring about Elder Mu Sou being present, and suddenly laughed: "That's right, otherwise Chen Chan would have escaped to the Great Turning Wheel Temple long ago. Hahaha, interesting, really interesting!"

And after sending Chen Ying and Chen Bai away, Elder Mu Sou was also personally led into the Golden Palace by Chen Yushu.

But before the two could exchange pleasantries, Elder Mu Sou's ears moved, and he looked to the east.

After a few breaths, the smile on his face suddenly became a bit playful.

"White carp turns into a dragon, flying into the clouds. Now this situation is gradually becoming uncontrollable. I heard that Chen Xiangxian also came to Xudu Heaven and stayed on Yangrang Mountain, Yushu..."

Elder Mu Sou asked:

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"What does Xiao Xiao Shixiong mean?" Chen Yushu said casually.

"I came to Xudu specifically, besides visiting fellow Daoists of the Innate Demon Sect, isn't it for your business?" Elder Mu Sou shook his head: "But you need to know that although the matter of human robbery can be opportunistic, you still have to bear it yourself. If we make too many moves, it will increase the robbery waves and ruin your good deeds!"

"I naturally know this. Regarding how to deal with that rebellious son, I already have a plan in my heart, and I need to discuss it with Xiao Xiao Shixiong."

Chen Yushu pondered for a moment and raised his head.

That gaze seemed to want to pierce through the mountains and long waters, falling far away to the Xiaoming Xiao Daze, facing Chen Hang across the air.

But in his field of vision, it was ultimately just a vast and empty space, lonely and empty.

Only seeing the water light surging to the sky, rushing endlessly, as if eternal and unchanging...

"And as for now, I really can't do anything to him... Then let this rebellious son be proud for a while!"

After a silence, Chen Yushu suddenly sneered. At this time, there was no more light wind and bright moon on him, just like an evil beast wanting to choose someone to devour.

Killing intent was revealed, and evil qi was born!
