The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

The figure became clearer and clearer.

A blurry outline appeared.

"Ok?"

Zhang Lingfeng sensed something was wrong.

Upon discovering that someone was using causal supernatural powers to lock onto him, he quickly released his soul energy to resist.

As a level four Soul Master, severing causal relationships is not easy, but preventing others from probing is relatively easy.

The final image freezes on a blurry outline.

“He found out.”

One of them exclaimed in surprise.

Originally, they intended to use the power of cause and effect to lock onto Zhang Lingfeng and find out who killed Yang Xiangtian, but unexpectedly, at the crucial moment, the cause and effect relationship was severed by the other party.

Even if one were to re-examine the area and unleash their full supernatural power, it would be impossible to lock onto the other party, because the cause and effect had already been compromised.

The other party is already interfering, and even the will of Heaven cannot make amends.

"At the Wang family's!"

However, although they were unable to confirm Zhang Lingfeng's exact appearance and identity, the three still deduced that Zhang Lingfeng was hiding in the Wang family's house.

"Since Xiang Tian was summoned back, he has spent most of his time searching for Zhang Lingfeng. He has been frequently visiting the Li family recently because he just found a clue. Now he has suddenly died, which may be related to Zhang Lingfeng."

"That's right, Zhang Lingfeng should be in Zixiao City."

"To be precise, it should be in the Wang family's house, which is the same as Xiang Tian's previous calculation."

"Perhaps Xiang Tian's death was because of Zhang Lingfeng."

"Zhang Lingfeng has become a Level 4 Soul Master?"

"That's impossible, but with his talent, if he becomes a Soul Master shortly after ascending and successfully becomes a disciple of a Level 4 Soul Master, then it's possible."

"Check the Soul Essence Master Guild. If any level four Soul Essence Master has taken on a disciple recently, you can find Zhang Lingfeng."

"Yes, that Soul Master is in the Wang family."

"When did the Wang family produce a Level 4 Soul Master?"

"Could this person have been hiding all along?"

"If the Soul Essence Master Guild is hidden there, how could we possibly find it? It seems that our Shadow Alliance's intelligence network has a problem; we didn't even know that the Wang family had a Level 4 Soul Essence Master."

"Go ahead and search. No matter what, the little golden dragon can only belong to the Shadow Alliance. It's the key proof of our alliance with the dragon race."

"The dragon race is proud. Even if Zhang Lingfeng gains the little golden dragon's approval, he alone cannot gain the approval of the entire dragon race. Only our Shadow Alliance can."

The three of them spoke in succession.

They came to a conclusion.

Zhang Lingfeng was in the Wang family and was cultivating under a fourth-level Soul Yuan Master. The person who killed Yang Xiangtian was that fourth-level Soul Yuan Master.

As for the reasons and basis?
According to the Shadow Alliance's intelligence network, they received feedback that Zhang Lingfeng had ascended to Zixiao City.

"We could try to find this guy."

Soon, Yan Fei's image also appeared in the hands of the three guys.

They were able to confirm that Zhang Lingfeng had ascended to Zixiao City, so they could naturally find Yan Fei as well. Even though Yan Fei had enough spirit stones at the moment and didn't need to work in the mine, the Shadow Alliance members still quickly found Yan Fei and learned that he lived in Li Family Village.

Fortunately, the Shadow Alliance is not invincible.

Even in a place like Zixiao City, they must abide by its rules and cannot act recklessly.

As long as Yan Fei didn't leave Li Family Village, it was as if he was under the protection of the Li family. On the Li family's territory, the Shadow Alliance dared not act recklessly. If they wanted to find out Zhang Lingfeng's whereabouts through Yan Fei, they could only proceed step by step.

"They've found me."

Zhang Lingfeng looked helpless.

I never expected that killing Yang Xiangtian would elicit such a strong reaction from the Shadow Alliance. If my soul essence hadn't broken through to over 700.0, I might not have been able to withstand the Shadow Alliance's causal investigation.

"If they can find me, they will definitely be able to find Teacher Yan."

Zhang Lingfeng thought of Yan Fei.

He quickly sent a message to Yan Fei, telling him to be prepared and not to leave Lijia Village easily, and that he would find a way to bring Yan Fei to Wangjia Village.

Zhang Lingfeng always felt that the Li family and the Shadow Alliance had a closer relationship.

Yan Fei has been staying in Lijia Village, which might cause him trouble.

He then sent a message to Little Golden Dragon.

"Where are you? Something might have happened to me. Have you found your people? I need your help. Please come back soon."

During this period, Zhang Lingfeng had been in contact with Xiao Jinlong.

Unfortunately, the little golden dragon seems to have wandered off somewhere in the Monster Mountain Range and hasn't replied. It might be due to a signal interruption, being blocked by an array, or some powerful force preventing it from receiving his message.

Zhang Lingfeng always missed Xiao Jinlong.

As a golden five-clawed dragon, the little golden dragon is a true divine beast. It grows very quickly, simply by devouring other creatures. It also carries the pressure of its race, causing many powerful demons and monsters to tremble in fear upon seeing it.

The treacherous Monster Mountain Range might be like a backyard for the little golden dragon.

After such a long time apart, Little Golden Dragon's strength must have changed significantly.

"Ouch!"

Inside an unnamed dungeon in the Monster Mountain Range.

The little golden dragon transformed into a beam of golden light and was attacking the formation inside the underground palace. It had sensed the powerful aura of a carnivorous animal here and had followed it all the way. After it had eaten its fill, it wanted to leave but was trapped here.

Inside the underground palace, there were bones of carnivorous animals everywhere.

The little golden dragon's body may not seem to have changed much, but in reality, its divine dragon bloodline and even the fluctuations of its dragon essence are extremely terrifying, already capable of contending with a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

And as the bloodline of the divine beast is activated.

It is born with a majestic and domineering aura, and even humans who fight with it will feel fear in their hearts and naturally respect it, daring not to offend it.

Unfortunately, this underground palace is no ordinary place.

One of the statues was still emitting powerful energy fluctuations, as if accompanied by a series of opportunities, attracting all living beings in the vicinity.

As the little golden dragon continued to crash into the array surrounding the underground palace, the aura within slowly leaked out.

"Buzz!"

In the sky, a member of the Soul Master Guild, whose Soul Essence level was close to 1200.0 and who was only one step away from becoming a Level 5 Soul Master, entered the Monster Mountain Range in search of a breakthrough opportunity.

He was drawn to a strange, powerful energy.

They slowly approached the vicinity of the underground palace.

"Ouch!"

The little golden dragon's roar grew louder and louder. The powerful dragon aura was so strong that even the formations within the underground palace could not conceal it. All the creatures in this mountain range couldn't help but tremble.

A polar bear over three thousand meters tall emerged from the bottomless canyon, looking towards the underground palace and also at the Soul Master whose Soul Essence power had reached the peak of level four.

The white bear looked disdainful at the fourth-level Soul Master.

He knew this human was very strong, but if he invaded his territory, he wouldn't show any mercy. His own bloodline was also strong, and he might be able to devour this human.

But the cries from the underground palace made him tremble, his very soul shaking.

It was as if they had encountered their natural enemy.

He actually turned and left the canyon where he had lived for who knows how many years, leading a group of small white bears, black bears, and brown bears, each only a few hundred meters tall, out of the bottomless canyon and headed towards the distant mountains. There was a power here that even their entire tribe feared.

They are naturally able to suppress them, and the great polar bears dare not tease or provoke them.

"Chirp!"

A pair of wings, so wide they blotted out the sky and spanned over ten thousand meters, flew out of the canyon and headed into the distance.

Then, one after another, terrifying magical beasts and monsters that were rarely seen in normal times ran out of the canyon and ran into the distance.

It was as if a terrifying being had appeared in the canyon.

These creatures, who had settled deep in the canyon, were terrified.

"This……"

The peak level four Soul Master couldn't help but keep climbing into the sky, as every terrifying creature that ran out of the canyon could cause him great damage.

If the two sides join forces to attack him, he will surely die and will have no choice but to flee immediately.

He knew that there were many terrifying creatures hidden in the Valley of the Gods, but he didn't expect there to be so many, and that these terrifying creatures would rush out of the canyon in a panic as if they were frightened.

It's as if an even more terrifying creature has appeared in the canyon, or nearby.

As a peak level four Soul Master, he had never been so shocked and panicked. He wanted to escape immediately, but the hidden opportunities here made him restless.

He has been stuck at the fourth level of Soul Master for many years and has never been able to break through.

As an important member of the Soul Essence Master Guild.

It's not that he lacks powerful cultivation techniques; rather, even with such techniques, he's unable to break through. He lacks the right opportunities and has reached a bottleneck.

He knew that there was a huge dividing line between a level 5 Soul Master and a level 4 Soul Master. Only by reaching level 5 could one be considered a truly powerful Soul Master.

Only by becoming a Level 5 Soul Master can one have a voice in the Soul Master Guild.

He forced himself to stay despite his fear.

Constantly sense the fluctuations in the energy here, especially the opportunities hidden within each energy.

The depths of the Monster Mountain Range are an extremely dangerous place; even a Great Luo Golden Immortal or a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal would face a major crisis if they entered.

At best, they will be resurrected and reborn.

In severe cases, it can lead to the soul being scattered and the spirit being destroyed.

But that can't stop the tempting opportunities here.

Even some celestial immortals or even immortal venerables would risk coming in.

It can be said that the depths of the Monster Mountain Range, especially the Valley of the Gods, have never lacked human footprints; it's just that most people can get in but can't get out.

The tremors in Tian Shen Valley intensified.

More and more human cultivators noticed the commotion.

Finally, a golden flying sword arrived above the Valley of the Gods.

It was covered with a layer of divine soul power fluctuations. This was because a Xuanxian expert used a terrifying divine power to send a flying sword carrying a wisp of his divine soul to this place in advance to investigate the situation here.

Even if this wisp of divine soul is destroyed in the event of danger, it will not pose a life-or-death test for the Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal.

Having reached this level of cultivation, one's soul has undergone multiple transformations.

Sometimes, even if one's soul is shattered and defeated, one can still be rebuilt using a single force.

The reason why the Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal is hailed as an immortal true immortal is because he possesses infinite vitality. Although the Dao he has mastered cannot contend with the Heavenly Dao, he has been able to follow the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao and comprehend extremely terrifying Daoist power.

Travel through time.

Going back to the past or traveling to the future is not too difficult for them. The only thing they need to worry about is not getting too involved in the cycle of cause and effect, otherwise it will backfire.

"Grand Secretary!"

The peak fourth-level Soul Master recognized that divine soul.

Although he was surprised, he was not panicked. He was not afraid of that fluctuation of divine soul.

"So it was Master Shentu."

Grand Secretary Wang laughed.

As a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal, he had naturally come into contact with Soul Masters, and they were at least Level 4. Shen Tu Gong was considered one of the more outstanding Soul Masters in Zi Xiao City.

Level 4 Peak.

One of the Li family's main strengths.

Unfortunately, it has encountered a bottleneck and has not been able to make a breakthrough for more than 5,000 years.

I came to the Valley of the Gods this time in search of a breakthrough, but I didn't expect to encounter something like this.

As a tribute to the Li family.

Shen Tu Gong, brimming with confidence, asked, "What unusual thing has the Grand Secretary noticed about this place?"

"I was just training nearby when I realized that there was such a commotion in the Heavenly God Valley. As for the unusual situation, I have no idea."

Grand Secretary Wang laughed.

His spirit gradually solidified.

This indicates that the true form is about to descend.

Shen Tu Gong knew that neither of them would easily tell the other about their discovery, but with such a big commotion here, the number of powerful humans or alien cultivators coming to the scene would only increase.

There seems to be something underground.

As Shen Tu Gongdao spoke, he released his soul energy and entered the Heavenly God Valley to explore the situation inside. He quickly discovered that the place from which the energy originated was actually an underground palace.

If it weren't for the unpredictable force that was drawing him in, Shen Tu Gong felt that even as a level five Soul Master, he wouldn't have been able to find the underground palace through those layers of strange magic arrays.

Almost every cultivator knows that there are great opportunities in the Valley of the Gods, such as underground palaces or ruins left by powerful figures, but very few people can actually find the location of the underground palaces.

I never expected that he would be able to see the location of the underground palace today.

However, cause and effect are intertwined, and the laws of nature are intertwined. Today we see the underground palace in this location, but tomorrow it may have moved to another place.

Shen Tu Gong was able to discover that the layers of formation contained a power that even he could not resist, which could sever the karma of others and devour his soul power.

Moving the underground palace to another location would be incredibly easy.

However, it seems that something went wrong with the underground palace, or perhaps the formation itself. The location of the underground palace became firmly rooted and could not be moved to other places by those layers of terrifying spatial formations and the Five Elements formation.

But nevertheless.

Shen Tu Gong dared not rush in at this moment.

The combined array was too powerful. Even if he achieved a breakthrough in his soul power, he might not be able to pass through the array unharmed and find his own opportunity inside.

Also at this time.

Grand Secretary Wang's spirit successfully coalesced, transforming into a real form, and his true body personally descended upon this place.

He released his divine sense and used his own Daoist power to calculate, trying to find out what opportunities and beings were inside the underground palace. After a while, he was covered in sweat, obviously failing. But the more he failed, the more excited he became.

If he could obtain the opportunities within the underground palace, perhaps he could attain the Dao of Immortal Venerable, or even become a great emperor!
"Whoosh whoosh!"

Also at this time.

Strengths flew in from afar and descended upon the sky above the Valley of the Gods.

There are powerful human warriors, cultivators from other races, and even demonic beasts and monsters that have taken human form and reside here. (End of Chapter)
