The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

Zhuang Bihao was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

It was a miracle that he survived.

Wang Lin's condition is also not optimistic; she is in a coma, but neither of them is in mortal danger.

However, it was Wang Ningzhi who was the strongest.

She could still vaguely maintain a conscious state, but her Daoist techniques and immortal energy were both in trouble. Clearly, as the one at the front, she was the first to be affected. If she hadn't retreated in time and hadn't possessed powerful Daoist techniques, she would probably have perished along with the other Golden Immortal experts.

Zhang Lingfeng led the three away quickly.

A short while later, they noticed that some people were catching up. Zhang Lingfeng didn't recognize them, but he could tell from their clothing that they were members of the Li family.

They are all from Zixiao City.

The Li family and the Wang family are engaged in open and covert struggles.

The Wang family has always blamed the Li family for Wang Dalong's death.

The Li family lost many Grand Luo Golden Immortals due to the recent earthquake in the underground palace. If they can take this opportunity to eliminate Wang Ningzhi, the Li family's position in Zixiao City will not be weakened much.

After all, it wasn't just the Li family that lost many Grand Luo Golden Immortals; all the major families also suffered casualties, so in terms of strength, everyone was still roughly the same.

The Li family still holds a dominant position in Zixiao City.

"Come on!"

Wang Ningzhi could also sense the danger.

Zhang Lingfeng nodded and led Wang Ningzhi and the other two, flying out of the Monster Mountain Range at top speed.

"There's a cave ahead, let's go in."

Wang Ning had been forcing himself to speak.

"it is good!"

Zhang Lingfeng quickly led them inside.

After entering the cave.

"Leave it at the entrance of the cave."

Wang Ningzhi took out a talisman.

Zhang Lingfeng quickly took it.

The talisman hovered at the cave entrance, emitting a halo that enveloped the entire area around the entrance, both inside and out, like a protective shield covering everyone in all directions.

Even after the rocks and forests surrounding the cave are removed, the talismanic protective barrier will still protect everyone.

Wang Ningzhi's immortal essence was in disarray, and her Daoist magic was also malfunctioning. She should have fainted, but she stubbornly held on.

"It's impossible to send messages to the family from here."

Wang Ningzhi looked weak and unwell.

Realize the seriousness of the problem.

"How long can this talisman protect us?"

Zhang Lingfeng asked.

"It depends on their strength. If they are Grand Luo Golden Immortals, they can probably hold out for three days. If they are just a group of Golden Mountain cultivators, three years is not a problem."

Wang Ningzhi said.

"So, what is your current condition?"

Zhang Lingfeng said nervously.

When they took Wang Ningzhi away, she had already fainted once.

"My immortal essence and Dao techniques have both encountered problems. The power released from within the underground palace is too domineering, like some kind of racial supernatural power. It can break the balance of everyone's immortal essence and Dao techniques. If it weren't for the auxiliary role of my Dao techniques and the relatively far distance, I would have been completely destroyed long ago."

Even the master of the Red Chamber was severely injured and fled. Countless Great Luo Golden Immortals have died in the Valley of Heavenly Gods. Zixiao City is likely about to undergo a major upheaval.

Wang Ningzhi said helplessly.

"If a Grand Luo Golden Immortal really comes, I can block one of his attacks. After you return to the Wang family, tell them what happened here and let them make plans as soon as possible. Zixiao City cannot be defended."

"what?"

Zhang Lingfeng was caught off guard.

Unexpectedly, the matter has involved the entire Zixiao City.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. The elemental stone veins in the Monster Mountain Range are controlled by a few families in Zixiao City, although other forces also share the profits.

However, the Li family, the Wang family, and other families suffered heavy losses in Tian Shen Valley.

Clearly, they can no longer protect the Yuan Stone mine. Without the Yuan Stone mine, the influence of the major families in Zixiao City will also decline sharply.

Perhaps a new force will rise, or an outside force will enter Zixiao City.

In short, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.

Before the Wang family is swallowed up by a rising new power, they should evacuate Zixiao City, or take defensive measures and sell off any properties they have acquired as soon as possible to avoid getting caught up in an endless war.

Compared to the world below.

The rules of the world above seem to be more cruel and barbaric.

Zixiao City appears peaceful on the surface, but in reality, it is rife with infighting and bloodshed. It's just that Zhang Lingfeng stayed in Wangjia Village for a long time and later followed Wang Ningzhi, so he didn't witness the struggles between the powerful figures of various factions.

Only after Wang Ningzhi said this did Zhang Lingfeng realize that whether it was the Li family, the Wang family, or other families, there were other powerful figures who coveted them.

The Li and Wang families have now suffered heavy losses.

The large and powerful Li family might be able to withstand the pressure, but it's inevitable that they will have to lose some assets. Otherwise, given the current state of the Li family, they would absolutely not be able to hold onto all their businesses.

The Wang family goes without saying.

Let's leave together.

Zhang Lingfeng said.

He actively sensed the situation outside.

As long as it's not a Grand Luo Golden Immortal descending, he can handle it. Even if it really is a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, he can still put up a fight with his strength as a Level 4 Soul Master.

They may even gain the upper hand.

Originally, he did not want to reveal his cultivation level, but things had come to this point, and Zhang Lingfeng had no choice.

"They can't leave."

Wang Ningzhi shook her head.

She sensed several auras rapidly approaching, one of which was the Great Luo Golden Immortal from the Li family.

He was a retainer of the Li family.

Although he also possessed Daoist powers, his Daoist abilities were relatively ordinary. Originally, among the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Li family, his status was relatively ordinary. However, as a large number of Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Li family perished, his status in the Li family rose accordingly.

He led the direct descendants of the Li family and chased them all the way here.

"She really is Fairy Wang."

Lee Myung-bak smiled.

As a direct descendant of the Li family, he was about the same age as Wang Dalong and Wang Ningzhi, but it was Wang Ningzhi who first attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

He had originally requested his family to allow Wang Ningzhi to become his Daoist partner in order to strengthen the relationship between the Li and Wang families. It was about to happen, but Wang Ningzhi attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, so the request fell through.

Wang Dalong's death was also suspected to be his doing.

Many in the Wang family believed that after Li Mingbo failed to win Wang Ning's heart, he killed Wang Dalong in a fit of rage, which would prevent Wang Dalong from becoming a major threat to the Li family in the future.

This incident also serves as a warning to the Wang family, reminding them not to think that having an extra Grand Luo Golden Immortal allows them to act recklessly.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ningzhi fell on his head so quickly.

"boom!"

He swung his sword towards the cave entrance.

The sword energy formed from celestial essence, enhanced by the Golden Immortal's Daoist techniques, possessed extraordinary attack power. Unfortunately, the talisman hovering at the entrance of the cave was too powerful.

The sword strike was completely absorbed by the talisman.

The aura of the talismans surrounding the cave entrance trembled slightly.

“Young Master Mingbo, this purple light talisman can withstand a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Even for me, it would take four or five days to break it.”

The Li family's worshipper was called the Destroyer of Shang.

Seeing this scene reminded him.

"Senior Shang, then I'll have to trouble you."

Lee Myung-bak cupped his hands in greeting.

The Extinction of Shang was not particularly powerful among the offerings of the Li family, but unfortunately the Li family suffered heavy losses this time, losing several Great Luo Golden Immortals at once.

It's the right time to employ people.

Lee Myung-bak's attitude towards the extermination of the Shang dynasty became much more respectful.

"Easy to say."

Mie Shang nodded.

They began to bombard the purple light talisman with sword techniques and immortal energy.

“Ningzhi, if you come out on your own and promise to marry me, I, Li Mingbo, guarantee that I will not harm you, nor will I harm your Wang family,” Li Mingbo reminded her.

While allowing the Extinction Merchant to attack the Purple Light Talisman.

Zhang Lingfeng stood next to Wang Ningzhi.

Although Lee Myung-bak is a direct descendant of the Lee family and holds a high position of power, he has not yet attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and his immortal essence is over 2000.0.

As a level four Soul Master, it wouldn't be difficult for me to deal with him.

As for the destruction of the Shang dynasty...

As fellow Great Luo Golden Immortals, Zhang Lingfeng felt that if Wang Ningzhi were at her peak and uninjured, even the three Destroyers of Shang combined wouldn't be a match for her.

This is the advantage of Taoist methods.

"There's no need to pay him any attention."

Wang Ningzhi said calmly.

Her mind raced as she considered how to leave and how to tell the Wang family what had happened. But she also knew that with so many people lost by the Wang family and the shattering of the life plaque, the family must have made some preparations.

Her main concern was that her family might not know when to back down and continue fighting against the Li family or other emerging forces.

Ultimately, this led to the complete annihilation of the Wang family, who lost their foothold in Zixiao City.

She had to make her family understand the stakes involved.

At the same time, one must also give oneself the opportunity to be resurrected and reborn.

"Do as I say in a moment."

Wang Ningzhi gave Zhang Lingfeng some instructions.

Regardless of whether Zhang Lingfeng is a member of the Wang family or not, at least for now, Zhang Lingfeng shows no signs of betraying her or harming the Wang family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought her here to hide; he could have easily abandoned her.

This guy is just a little too sentimental.

She not only saved herself, but also Wang Lin and a halberd-wielding servant of the Red Mansion Master. It seemed that they knew each other. She became increasingly curious about why the Shadow Alliance was keeping a close eye on Zhang Lingfeng.

"Would you like to take me as your apprentice?"

Zhang Lingfeng didn't want to hear Wang Ningzhi's final words, and instead quickly asked...

"what?"

Wang Ningzhi was taken aback.

"Teacher Wang, please accept me as your apprentice!"

Zhang Lingfeng looked at Wang Ningzhi with a serious expression.

"This……"

Wang Ningzhi glanced at the outside of the cave entrance, where Mi Shang was trying to break through the purple light talisman, and Li Mingbo and several other members of the Li family were waiting nearby.

I don't quite understand what Zhang Lingfeng is doing.

Do you want to live and die together?

For some reason, I felt a little moved.

"it is good."

Wang Ningzhi.

"What good?"

Zhang Lingfeng asked.

"I said I could take you as my apprentice."

The Way of Wang Ningzhi.

"Then please accept it!"

Zhang Lingfeng urged.

"From this day forward, you are my personal disciple. If there is an afterlife, I will pass on all the knowledge I have gained in this life to you."

Wang Ningzhi realized that regardless of whether she could be resurrected, it would be extremely difficult to see Zhang Lingfeng again.

Perhaps Zhang Lingfeng just wanted a master-disciple relationship, a sense of belonging to the Wang family. If that's the case, then let's give it to him.

"You haven't even asked me if I'm willing or not?"

Zhang Lingfeng scratched his head and said.

"It wasn't you who begged..."

Wang Ningzhi was taken aback, feeling both amused and exasperated.

He asked, "Would you like to become my disciple?"

"I do not want to."

Zhang Lingfeng shook his head decisively.

"what?"

Wang Ningzhi didn't react in time.

"Did Teacher Wang have anything to say just now?"

Zhang Lingfeng quickly changed the subject.

"That's not what you just said..."

Wang Ningzhi looked bewildered.

"I mean, if we can break through and return to the Wang family, what would you like to do?"

Zhang Lingfeng reminded him.

"The matter of becoming an apprentice..."

"At this critical juncture, what's the point of talking about becoming their apprentice? Teacher Wang, you should be thinking about how we can shake them off and leave this place together!"
"Why don't you check if you have any miraculous medicines on you and quickly restore your strength? Maybe you can still exchange a few blows with them when they rush in."

Zhang Lingfeng said with a serious expression.

[You refused to become Wang Ningzhi's disciple, embracing a "lying down" attitude to the fullest extent, earning 56 "lying down" points.]

At that moment, a line of words appeared before Zhang Lingfeng's eyes.

Zhang Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt incredibly surprised. He never expected that refusing to become Wang Ningzhi's disciple would earn him so many "lying down" points.

He truly deserves to be called a Great Immortal.

To grasp the existence of auxiliary Taoist methods.

You should know that even if you are bathed in Wang Ningzhi's Taoist magic, you can only get a few hundred or a thousand "lying down" points every day.

Last time, I refused Wang Ningzhi's two initiations of will, and each time I only got tens of thousands of lying-down points. I didn't expect that after Wang Ningzhi became a Great Luo Golden Immortal, I would refuse to become her disciple and get so many lying-down points all at once.

"Ok."

Wang Ningzhi was not yet aware that she had been tricked by Zhang Lingfeng.

Of course, compared to figuring out why Zhang Lingfeng refused to become his disciple, it was obviously more important to find a way to survive from Li Mingbo, who was destroying the Shang dynasty.

Of course, if death is inevitable.

Wang Ningzhi hoped to take Li Mingbo down with him, believing that with her Great Luo Golden Immortal strength, even if she were severely injured and near death, Li Mingbo would not be able to withstand a single blow from her.

The dividing line between Golden Immortal and Great Luo Golden Immortal is very large.

Even a Golden Immortal cannot defeat a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, and similarly, even a weak Grand Luo Golden Immortal can easily kill a cultivator whose cultivation has reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.

Lying flat value: 56.1

Golden Immortal Cultivation Method: (51.3/100)

Immortal Essence: 1855.9
Level 4 Soul Essence Cultivation Method: (74.8/100)

Soul element: 758.8
Soul Yuan Taoism: (1/100)

Realm: Golden Immortal, Level 4 Soul Master

Zhang Lingfeng decided to upgrade the Golden Immortal Essence Cultivation Method to perfection.

Each value ratio in the Golden Immortal Immortal Essence Cultivation Method requires 8,000 lying-down points, and each value ratio can be exchanged for 12.0 Immortal Essence Body Volume.

If it is elevated to perfection, it will be enough to make the immortal essence volume exceed 2400.0, and successfully prove the Dao of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

The panel has changed.

Lying flat value: 17.14

Golden Immortal Cultivation Method: (100/100)

Immortal Essence: 2438.3
As his immortal essence exceeded 2400.0, Zhang Lingfeng felt as if he had stepped into a completely new realm, discovering that the world had changed once again, and he was even able to sense the power of the Dao in the world.

This is a feeling that Zhang Lingfeng, as a Golden Immortal cultivator, cannot directly obtain.

He discovered that even if the immortal essence reached 2399.9, as long as it had not reached 2400.0, the world would still look the same to a Golden Immortal cultivator.

As a Golden Immortal cultivator, one can only obtain Daoist techniques through cultivation or by chance. Even with the help of a Great Luo Golden Immortal or the guidance of a Soul Yuan Master's Soul Yuan Power, one cannot easily obtain the so-called Daoist power.

However, after his immortal essence reached 2400.0, supported by this massive amount of immortal essence, Zhang Lingfeng discovered that there were many Daoist powers in the world.

Just like the Five Elements Law, it can be refined on its own, and even merge various Daoist powers together. This is what the so-called tangible Daoist power means. (End of Chapter)
