Chapter 835: Firm Will, Opportunistic

~20 min read 3,857 words

Seeing Song Qingyu put on a look of letting him deal with her, the white-clad woman frowned, and a look of ugliness slowly appeared.

"It seems you are sure that I dare not do anything to you. Since that's the case, then you can only leave it to fate!"

After the white-clad woman finished speaking, she directly cast a spell to release a spiritual light. A moment later, a bronze tripod appeared in front of Song Qingyu.

After this bronze tripod appeared in mid-air, it kept spinning rapidly, and soon it became a giant tripod emitting a cold wind, two or three zhang high.

"This is the Illusion Heart Tripod. Anyone who falls into it will enter an illusion and suffer all kinds of torture and pain in the world. What they hear and see is exactly the same as reality."

"Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator falls into it, it is difficult to resist the pain brought by this illusion."

"Do you want to go in yourself, or do you want us to invite you in!"

Seeing the three-legged tripod spinning constantly in mid-air, Song Qingyu sighed helplessly. Without waiting for the other party to urge her, she stepped directly into it with a very resolute expression. —— Five days later, deep in "Cloud Mist Mountain."

Huang Siyuan, Li Wutong, and Fang Baixuan stopped when they flew over a high mountain.

"Junior Sister Huang, what's the matter? Is it still nearby?"

Hearing Li Wutong's inquiry, Huang Siyuan opened a bamboo scroll in her hand and looked at it carefully, then replied with some doubt: "Strange, the sword intent left by Qingyu points to this vicinity."

"But we have been searching for several days in a row, but we still have gained nothing. Could it be that there is something wrong with what this thing shows?"

"Then let's search separately! Maybe we missed some location."

After Li Wutong finished speaking, the three dispersed directly, each flying in one direction, and began to search carefully in the surrounding area.

Just on a mountain head several hundred zhang in front of the position where the three left, a white-clad girl stood on the spot, watching all this quietly with a smile.

The white-clad girl's position was only several hundred zhang away from Huang Siyuan and the three, but the three couldn't see her, which made people wonder.

After Huang Siyuan and the three left, the white-clad girl turned and came to a blue stone not far away.

"Junior Sister, is everything okay?"

Hearing her Senior Sister Yang Zixin's inquiry, Bai Yuling hurriedly nodded and replied with a smile:

"Senior Sister, rest assured, the large array set up by Master is not necessarily visible even to Nascent Soul cultivators, but they are just a few small Golden Core cultivators, they can't find anything."

"These people have been turning around nearby, they should have brought something to find people. I don't know how long Master will be here, we still have to be careful, so as not to ruin her important business."

After Yang Zixin finished speaking, her gaze turned to the blue stone on the side.

There, a white-clad woman was sitting with her eyes closed, and not far from her, a bronze tripod two or three zhang high was spinning in mid-air.

Looking at the bronze tripod, Bai Yuling couldn't help but sigh and said: "Others couldn't stay for a day or two, she has been in for five days, and she still hasn't confessed. This guy's will is really unexpected."

"Could it be that Master guessed wrong, and what she said before was the truth?"

"Junior Sister, don't talk nonsense. Master knows what she is doing. We just need to do our own things, and don't guess wildly about other things."

Hearing Bai Yuling's words, Yang Zixin hurriedly interrupted her.

Hearing this, Bai Yuling also smiled slightly, said no more, and walked to the side.

In the "Illusion Heart Tripod," Song Qingyu in green clothes sat in it.

It's just that at this time, not only were her brows tightly furrowed and her face very pale, but her forehead was also full of sweat, obviously experiencing some huge pain.

At this time, a cool voice suddenly sounded in Song Qingyu's ear, making her originally very painful face look a little better.

"Hand over the things to me, and you can go out, without having to experience these pains again. I can also guarantee that I will definitely not make things difficult for you and your clansmen again."

Hearing this somewhat tempting voice, Song Qingyu didn't pay much attention to it, still sitting in place, without any reaction.

"Stubborn!"

With an angry sound falling, Song Qingyu, who was originally sitting in place, suddenly fell from mid-air into a furnace, and the raging flames all around instantly wrapped her in it.

Although the shield released by her own magic power blocked most of the flames, there were still many flames that passed through the shield and fell directly on Song Qingyu.

Before long, Song Qingyu felt a pain coming from her body, making her couldn't help but tremble.

Knowing that this was just an illusion, Song Qingyu still clearly felt that the skin on her body was being roasted by the flames, and she could even smell the smell of burning flesh.

Even so, Song Qingyu still gritted her teeth and sat in it, without shouting a word of begging for mercy because of the huge pain she suffered.

"Hmph! Stubborn, even if your will is firm, the pain everyone can bear has a limit. It's just wasting more of my time!"

As a voice slowly dissipated, the flames beside Song Qingyu increased a bit, making her couldn't help but frown again.

Two days later, a yellow streak of light flew quickly from afar and landed in mid-air, revealing a yellow-clothed figure.

"Junior Sister Huang, how is it? Any discoveries?"

Seeing Huang Siyuan who had just arrived, Li Wutong and Fang Baixuan standing on the side hurriedly stepped forward to inquire.

Hearing this, Huang Siyuan also shook her head directly at the two: "Basically searched around, still no discoveries."

"Now it seems that either the natal sword intent left by Qingyu has a problem, and she is not here at all."

"Or she was trapped by some powerful restriction, I'm afraid our cultivation is not enough to see it."

Seeing the anxious look on Huang Siyuan's face, Li Wutong nodded and said directly: "Junior Sister Huang, don't worry, I have already sent a message to notify the sect."

"It is estimated that it won't be long before Senior Uncle Bai will come to help!"

"We will wait here, as long as Junior Sister Song is still here, we will definitely be able to find her."

Just as Li Wutong finished speaking, a streak of light suddenly lit up not far away, rushing toward the position of the three.

Seeing this somewhat familiar streak of light, Huang Siyuan and the three were overjoyed and immediately stepped forward to greet her.

"Greetings, Senior Uncle Bai!"

Bai Yuxian, who had just arrived, scanned the three people in front of her and asked softly: "I know everything, where is the natal sword intent left by Qingyu?"

Hearing Bai Yuxian's inquiry, Huang Siyuan hurriedly handed the bamboo scroll she was holding to Bai Yuxian carefully, and replied softly: "Senior Uncle Bai, the position pointed to by the sword intent is not far ahead."

"It's just that the three of us searched for a long time but didn't find any abnormalities. I'm afraid Qingyu might have fallen into some powerful restriction. Please ask Senior Uncle Bai to help check it out."

The reason why Huang Siyuan and the others were able to find deep into "Cloud Mist Mountain" was mainly because before Song Qingyu left home, besides leaving her own cultivation inheritance, she also left a "natal sword intent" in the bamboo scroll.

This "natal sword intent" was split from Song Qingyu's natal magic treasure. As long as the distance is not too far, she can quickly sense the location of the main body within tens of thousands of miles.

After taking the bamboo scroll from Huang Siyuan's hand, Bai Yuxian just opened it and felt a guidance of spiritual light, and looked at the position not far in front of them.

Then, under Bai Yuxian's guidance, the four came to the vicinity where they were just now.

After arriving here, Bai Yuxian's gaze scanned the surrounding mountains from time to time. It took a while before she came to the front of a very inconspicuous high mountain.

Looking at the high mountain not far in front of her, and looking at the bamboo scroll in her hand, Bai Yuxian moved her spiritual light and suddenly released a sword light, rushing directly to the top of the high mountain.

This sword light was very powerful, and in an instant, a corner of the high mountain was cut off by the sword light, and countless rocks fell from the top of the mountain.

Some of these stones rolled directly from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and some were blocked by trees on the mountainside. After a long time, the dust raised on the high mountain slowly dissipated.

"Senior Uncle Bai, look, there is a problem there!"

Only hearing Fang Baixuan on the side shout, the crowd's gaze also followed the direction he pointed, and soon found a place not far below the top of the mountain that was not affected.

Just now, Bai Yuxian's attack destroyed the mountain head, and almost all places in the vicinity were covered by rocks and dust, except for this position, which remained as usual.

This also made everyone see at a glance that there must be some restriction nearby that blocked those dust and rocks.

"This restriction is a bit powerful, I'm afraid the person who set up the array is not lower than me in cultivation. You three hold this, be careful!"

Bai Yuxian was a fourth-grade inferior formation master. If it weren't for the "natal sword intent" left by Song Qingyu, she wouldn't have discovered the abnormality on the mountain for a while.

This also made her understand in her heart that the formation level of the person who set up the formation was probably not lower than her, and it was very likely that she was also a Nascent Soul cultivator.

After Bai Yuxian finished speaking, she threw out a "Three Talents Sword Array" she had prepared on her body to Li Wutong and the three, and then took them to fly toward the position of the restriction.

After the crowd arrived below the top of the mountain, they didn't be polite and directly dropped several attacks, soon stirring up a burst of spiritual light in mid-air.

Inside the large array, Bai Yuling, holding a golden array disk, saw the "Xiaoyao Sect" crowd besieging the large array in the sky and couldn't help but frown.

"Senior Sister, we have been discovered, do we want to notify Master quickly?" Hearing Bai Yuling's inquiry, Yang Zixin, who was standing on the side, hesitated for a while with a solemn expression, and then nodded directly:

"Actually discovered us so quickly, it seems that the other party also has a formation master, I'm afraid the large array won't last long, let's notify Master first."

After Yang Zixin finished speaking, she immediately sent a sound transmission to the white-clad woman sitting cross-legged on the side.

Before long, the white-clad woman, who had been closing her eyes, opened her eyes and looked at the "Xiaoyao Sect" crowd outside the large array with some unkindness.

"Master, it's the people from Xiaoyao Sect, do we want to go out and send them away!"

Hearing Yang Zixin's suggestion, the white-clad woman shook her head slightly: "My injuries haven't fully recovered, so it's not suitable to fight with the people from Xiaoyao Sect now."

"I didn't expect that after preparing for so long, I was actually tricked by this girl today. It's also that Master underestimated her."

"Senior Brother, it seems your vision is still good, she is not burying your inheritance."

"Forget it! Since the people from Xiaoyao Sect have been alarmed, this place is no longer suitable for staying, let's go first!"

After the white-clad woman sighed softly, she cast spells with both hands and directly took back the bronze giant tripod in front of her. Song Qingyu, who was still unconscious, also fell from mid-air onto the blue stone.

"Master, do we want to take her with us?"

"No need, I have already obtained the cultivation method in her hand, and the remaining things are probably not of much use to me, so it's not worth taking this risk for this."

"The top priority is to find a safe place to heal, so as not to be found again."

"Other things will be discussed when there is a chance in the future!"

After speaking, the white-clad woman's gaze swept over Song Qingyu on the ground again, and then she cast a spell to take down an array disk from mid-air.

As the large array suddenly disappeared, Bai Yuxian and others outside rushed into the restriction and happened to meet the white-clad woman and the three who were fleeing outside.

Seeing that someone was deliberately setting up a restriction here, Bai Yuxian was slightly angry, and a sword light cut toward the white-clad woman in mid-air.

Seeing the sword light attacking from behind, the white-clad woman just waved her hand to release a shield, easily blocked Bai Yuxian's attack, and then fled to the distance without looking back.

Seeing that the other party's cultivation was not weak and was also a Nascent Soul cultivator, Bai Yuxian cast her natal magic treasure again.

Only seeing a green lotus flower appearing in front of her, the lotus flower grew rapidly and chased toward the position of the white-clad woman and the three, soon trapping them in it.

However, before Bai Yuxian could be happy for a while, a dazzling golden spiritual light lit up in the lotus flower, followed by a sword light rushing out from inside, making Bai Yuxian, who had chased halfway, stop her steps involuntarily.

At the same time, Huang Siyuan, who entered the large array, also found Song Qingyu, who was unconscious, and hurriedly flashed to her side.

Seeing that Song Qingyu was just unconscious and had no life danger, the nervous look on Huang Siyuan's face slowly relaxed.

"Senior Uncle Bai, found Junior Sister Song, do we still want to chase?"

Bai Yuxian, standing on the spot, heard Li Wutong's reminder beside her and shook her head directly: "Forget it! This person's cultivation is estimated to be above me. Even if we catch up, we can't keep the other party."

"Since Qingyu has been found, let's go back first! I don't have any impression of such a master, it doesn't look like a cultivator in our Floating Cloud Mountain Range, let's wait for Qingyu to wake up and ask if we can find out the other party's background."

After Bai Yuxian finished speaking, her gaze swept over the direction where the white-clad woman and the three left with a solemn expression, and then she took the crowd and Song Qingyu, who was still unconscious, and left the spot. —— "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world, Yuanzhou, Demon-Slaying Palace! On this day, Liu Yang was sitting alone in the stone pavilion outside the "Heart Refining Tower," lifting a pot of freshly boiled water from the stove.

And on the stone table not far from him, there was a game of chess that had already been decided.

"Master is really, called me to help boil tea, and I don't know where he ran to, causing me to work in vain again."

After scanning the surroundings, seeing that there was no figure of his Master "Daoist Lingxu," Liu Yang just wanted to put away the teacup on the table, but suddenly felt a movement coming from the "Heart Refining Tower" not far behind him.

"Eh! Could it be."

Before Liu Yang could say what he thought, another spiritual energy fluctuation came from the "Heart Refining Tower," followed by a figure flying out from inside and landing in front of him.

"Junior Brother Song, hehehe."

Seeing the figure that was very familiar to him not far in front, Liu Yang's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and walked quickly toward Song Qingming's position.

"Junior Brother Song, you finally came out. These days have really worried me to death!"

"I forgot the time inside, so I came out a bit late. I didn't want to make Senior Brother and Master worry, it's really shameful!"

Hearing this, Liu Yang shook his head directly at him: "Junior Brother Song, these words are a bit modest."

"Hearing Master and Senior Brother say the other day, this Heart Refining Tower is generally entered by ordinary people, and they can only stay for about a year. Junior Brother was able to stay inside for two years before coming out, which really surprised us."

"I happened to boil tea for Master. Since Junior Brother has left seclusion, then tell me quickly, what is it like inside."

Under Liu Yang's urging, Song Qingming bowed and smiled slightly, and followed him to the stone pavilion beside him.

In the following time, under Liu Yang's expectant gaze, Song Qingming told him about his experience in the "Heart Refining Tower" for the past two years while tasting tea.

In these two years, Song Qingming used the residual map in his hand and the spiritual items that restored his magic power, "Millennium Spiritual Milk," to try to impact the Nascent Soul realm four times in total.

The first two times, as expected, they all fell at the step of "Fetal Transformation Nascent Soul."

It wasn't until the third time that Song Qingming successfully transformed the core into the Nascent Soul and passed this level.

In the following time, Song Qingming tried again, and seeing that he was already very skilled in this level, he felt relieved and walked out of the "Heart Refining Tower."

Regarding the various details of Song Qingming in the "Heart Refining Tower," he did not hide anything from Liu Yang, except for the residual map that helped him restore his magic power, which he did not choose to tell the other party.

Instead, he attributed his ability to stay in the "Heart Refining Tower" for such a long time to his own solid magic power and other spiritual items.

"Millennium Spiritual Milk! I didn't expect Senior Brother Song to have such rare treasures, which Master and I didn't guess."

"It's a pity that the Millennium Spiritual Milk on Senior Brother is almost consumed, otherwise I would like to exchange some with you for use in future tower cultivation."

"Even if it is a spiritual item like Millennium Spiritual Milk that is born of heaven and earth, if a cultivator takes too much, it will leave a lot of hidden dangers. If you want to be opportunistic like this because of insufficient magic power, it is not necessarily a good thing."

Just as Song Qingming and Liu Yang were talking, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air beside them, it was "Daoist Lingxu," who had just sensed Song Qingming coming out of the "Heart Refining Tower."

Hearing the reminder from his Master "Daoist Lingxu," Song Qingming hurriedly nodded: "Master's words are correct. Because I took too many spiritual items to restore magic power inside, I also feel that there are a lot of toxins accumulated in my body now."

"Senior Brother's talent is better than mine. Just to go in for cultivation, he doesn't need such a long time, so I don't think it's necessary to take this risk."

"Hehe! I don't have spiritual items like Millennium Spiritual Milk on me, so I just said that. Master, Junior Brother, rest assured!"

After Liu Yang finished speaking, he hurriedly poured a cup of spiritual tea for his Master "Daoist Lingxu."

After picking up the spiritual tea on his table and taking a sip, "Daoist Lingxu" turned around and looked at Song Qingming, nodding slightly: "I didn't expect you to be able to stay inside for so long before coming. It seems that bringing you here this time was really the right choice."

"With the experience in the Heart Refining Tower, I think the probability of you successfully impacting the Nascent Soul realm in the future should be improved a lot."

"All rely on Master's help, so this disciple can have this opportunity. Please accept another bow from this disciple!"

"Alright! These were originally promised to you, no need for courtesy."

Seeing Song Qingming bowing again, "Daoist Lingxu" hurriedly waved his hand and said softly to him: "You are still an outer disciple now. Even if you have a great hope of forming a Nascent Soul, according to the rules of the sect, you still cannot directly support you in forming a Nascent Soul."

"However, Master can promise you today that if you are willing to join the sect directly, the sect can also support you in forming a Nascent Soul."

"This point depends on your own thoughts, Master will not force it!"

"Thank you for your grace, Master! It's just that this disciple doesn't have the idea of joining the sect directly yet. If there is any change in my heart in the future, I will naturally come and tell Master."

Facing the kind reminder from his Master "Daoist Lingxu," Song Qingming hesitated for a while, then shook his head and did not answer the other party directly.

Although, joining "Taixu Gate" directly and having the support of his Master "Daoist Lingxu," Song Qingming's grasp of condensing the Nascent Soul will definitely be greatly improved.

But at the moment, Song Qingming still couldn't let go of his family far away in the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, and didn't want to leave them behind and join the sect directly like this.

Moreover, after the experience of the "Heart Refining Tower," Song Qingming himself had greatly improved his grasp of breaking through to the Nascent Soul.

Even without relying on the sect, he had great confidence in witnessing the Nascent Soul Great Dao in the future.

"Hmm! You consider this yourself." Seeing that Song Qingming didn't want to join the sect for the time being, "Daoist Lingxu" didn't show any surprise on his face.

After ending the cultivation in the "Heart Refining Tower," the three of Song Qingming did not stay long and soon chose to leave the "Demon-Slaying Palace."

However, after returning to Nanzhou, Song Qingming did not return to the Taixu Gate with his Master "Daoist Lingxu," but bid farewell to them and went east alone.

(I suddenly caught a cold last night, and I didn't have much energy all day today. If there is anything written badly, please bear with me!) (End of Chapter)
