Chapter 757 Victory in the first battle
Inside the Battle Saint Hall, Han Li and Jun Weizhi each had a fist-sized pill in front of them, with five dark golden pill patterns slowly moving on them, as if they were alive.

The pill occasionally emitted a wisp of fragrance, which the two inhaled, and the bottlenecks in their bodies gradually loosened as they absorbed the fragrance.

These are two Five-Patterned Great Sun Morning Glory Pills refined by Wei Yuan. These two can already be called Mystic Pills and can be absorbed into the mortal world.

These two pills were extremely potent, and Han Li and the others could not take them at all. They could only meditate and cultivate in front of them, slowly absorbing the pill's energy in order to break through the final bottleneck and reach the Dharma Aspect stage.

At that moment, the bell rang, and Han Li and Jun Weizhi emerged from the quiet room, exchanging a glance. Han Li then asked, "Where's Fuyao?"

"Having gone to sea, he has not returned."

"We can't wait any longer. This attack on the outer world by the Immortal Venerable should be a preliminary exploration. Fuyao is not good at fighting. Let's explore the environment first before letting her in."

You do not know: "That is exactly how it should be."

One by one, cultivators emerged from the Battle Saint Hall, all of them at least at the Foundation Establishment stage, totaling over a hundred people. Led by Han Li and Jun Weizhi, the group arrived at the gate at the foot of Jade Mountain.

Wei Yuan was already standing in front of the gate, surrounded by Dragon Guards and Dharma Warriors.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wei Yuan said, "I will go in first, and everyone can follow the established procedures."

Immediately, a Dharma Aspect Warrior explained the exploration procedures to Han Li and the other cultivators again.

The rules stipulated that Wei Yuan would enter first, followed by the three Dragon Guards, including Long Ying. After Wei Yuan created a safe space inside, everyone would enter the formation in turn, receive the blessing of the Heavenly Mystery Transformation Technique, and then enter the outer world.

The mission of Han Li and his group of Foundation Establishment cultivators was to build defensive fortifications and establish a safe haven in front of the teleportation portal to the outer world, and to take on daily guard duties. In this way, they could first establish a firm foothold, proceed cautiously, and gradually expand the scope of their exploration.

Meanwhile, the data obtained by Wei Yuan during his last exploration had already been distributed, and everyone had a good understanding of the monsters in the outer world. The slightly stronger monsters there were at the late stage of the Dharma Aspect realm, so no one dared to be careless.

At this moment, many Dao Foundation Warriors arrived and began distributing equipment. Han Li and the others were more skilled in using magical artifacts such as flying swords and flying needles, but they were not averse to flying sword spears either.

Then Wei Yuan pointed his fingers and five huge Five Elements Dao Soldiers appeared in front of everyone. These Five Elements Dao Soldiers all had the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Dharma Aspect stage, and their auras were different.

Over the past few months, Wei Yuan has mastered the basics of the Five Elements Dao Soldier technique, and finally summoned a Dharma Aspect level Dao Soldier based on the aura of immortal plants.

With the blessing of the immortal plants, the power of these Dao soldiers has been increased by one level, and they are now at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect realm.

Wei Yuan distributed the control incantation to Han Li, Jun Weizhi, and the others, instructing them to select their five strongest members, each to control a Five Elements Dao Weapon for combat. This instantly boosted everyone's combat power. Han Li and Jun Weizhi's combat strength far exceeded their cultivation levels; with the Five Elements Dao Weapons, they were even more formidable, now seemingly capable of contending with late-stage Dharma Aspect realm cultivators.

However, with Long Wushuang's demise and Fuyao's failure to return, two Dao soldiers were left vacant. Jun Weizhi and Han Li each took an extra Dao soldier, leaving only the weakest one for Dugu Cangqiong.

With everything in place, Wei Yuan took the lead and entered the outer world.

But no sooner had he gone in than he came out again, clutching two black birds in his hand. He then flashed and handed them to the girl, Yin Yang. Wei Yuan then went in and out several times in succession, each time bringing back several black birds.

When Wei Yuan entered the outer world for the sixth time, a beam of light illuminated the entrance. The withered tree branch that had remained unchanged for millennia was empty; no black birds landed on it anymore, attempting to "guide" Wei Yuan as a newcomer.

Wei Yuan looked up at the sky and saw three black birds circling high above, chirping to each other as if exchanging some information. The sky in this world was simply darkness, an empty blackness. The black birds were small and flying at a height of a hundred feet, so the previous Wei Yuan would not have been able to see them at all.

But now, Wei Yuan's cultivation had greatly improved, and his divine sense was incredibly powerful; he had firmly locked onto the three black birds. He reached out and grabbed a long flying sword spear, raising it to aim at the sky and firing three shots in quick succession. The three flying swords swept across the night sky almost simultaneously, slaying the three black birds. Wei Yuan didn't waste the bird corpses, returning them to the girl, Yin Yang.

On the seventh attempt, the black bird finally disappeared. Wei Yuan searched repeatedly to confirm that no more black birds had appeared before walking forward a short distance and then standing guard. At this moment, the portal emitted a blue light, and Long Ying and the Wenwu Dragon Guards, along with three Dharma Aspect Warriors, entered this world.

After a brief period of adaptation, a faint blue light emanated from Long Ying and the others, indicating they were using their Qi to protect themselves. Ripples clearly appeared on the blue light, as if some invisible force was constantly impacting them.

Long Ying and the others entered and immediately split up into pairs. Wei Yuan had already marked three locations, two of which were about two zhang higher than the surrounding terrain, and the other was the ruins of a house. The roof of the house had disappeared, leaving only broken walls and rubble, but it could at least provide some cover, and the architecture of this world itself should be even more effective in defending against monsters.

Upon arriving at the location marked by Wei Yuan, the three Dharma Aspect warriors began digging and building fortifications, while three Dragon Guards, including Long Ying, stood guard on the side. Wei Yuan, meanwhile, stepped forward a hundred feet and stood in the darkness, monitoring the nearest cluster of buildings.

Once the three strongholds are set up with rotary sword cannons on the left and right, they can provide crossfire, covering the open area in front of the portal. The third stronghold is built directly in front of the portal to block monsters from rushing towards it.

Once the initial fortifications were completed, the three Dharma Aspect Warriors remained on the spot, while the Dragon Guards followed Wei Yuan, forming a loose formation as they headed toward the nearest cluster of buildings.

After walking about a hundred paces forward, a beam of light suddenly fell from the sky, like a stage light, illuminating a little girl on the ground. The girl had a large head, long flowing hair, and was carrying a backpack with a fluffy rabbit hanging from it.

The little girl skipped and hopped toward the buildings, ignoring Wei Yuan and the others.

As she moved, the beam of light followed her. Within the circle of light, there was an extremely smooth street, some simple benches with a style completely different from those in Da Tang, and various flowers blooming in the flower beds.

As the light shifted, the bench disappeared, the road surface was damaged, and the flower beds had all collapsed, leaving only mounds of earth.

The little girl walked several dozen feet when the pillar of light suddenly disappeared, and she disappeared with it.

Wei Yuan had seen this scene before, except that it was a boy that time.

Wei Yuan raised his hand and pointed forward, approaching the complex of buildings. As he drew near, another beam of light descended from the sky, and the little girl reappeared within the circle of light. She walked along a white wall, occasionally waving and greeting someone outside the circle of light.

She suddenly stopped, turned around, and her face was full of surprise. A large hand reached in from outside the circle of light, steady and warm. The little girl placed her hand in the palm of the large hand, feeling especially warm and touched.

But the little girl's face suddenly changed, and she looked extremely terrified. She screamed and turned to run away! The large hand froze in mid-air, its color turning bluish-black, with long claws extending from its fingertips, and large black spots appearing on its skin.

The halo followed the little girl, disappearing into the buildings, but the bluish-black hand covered in corpse spots didn't vanish. Instead, a body emerged from the darkness, its dark yellow eyes fixed on Wei Yuan. With a roar, it charged at Wei Yuan on all fours!

Wei Yuan retreated quickly, while continuously firing his flying sword spear. One powerful flying sword after another slammed into the monster's body, each sword tearing off a small piece of its black body.

Wei Yuan retreated thirty feet, and two torrents of flying swords flew from the left and right sides, striking the monster and halting its momentum.

Then Wei Yuan retreated until he was level with Long Ying. Long Ying also wielded a powerful flying sword spear, each strike possessing the full power of an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Although the flying sword guns wielded by Wei Yuan and Long Ying didn't have the same firing rate as rotary cannons, they were still quite powerful, and the immense impact made it difficult for the monster to advance. The monster stubbornly resisted the torrent of flying swords and forced its way forward for a hundred feet, its flesh almost completely scraped away, leaving only a skeleton.

Finally, it could no longer hold on, let out a howl, collapsed to the ground, and never moved again. Its body quickly turned into sand, rising in a wisp of gray-black mist. Wei Yuan flashed forward and waved his hand to collect the wisp of Daoist energy.

The first victory was much easier than the last one.

At this moment, the portal glowed with azure light, and Han Li and others led a hundred Dao Foundation cultivators through the portal to this outer world.
