The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 18 Breaking the Situation
Li Yuan, who was not far away, heard these words and kept them in mind.

[Shang Xi Fu Tu] should be a kind of magical power, probably related to the virtue of earth, Qi change and so on.

Wang Xingyi stared at him intently, even though he was an elder, his face was full of anticipation at this moment.

Yu Guhong had a blank expression on his face, but he was also staring at Helian Wei on the top of the mountain, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

The loose soil particles on the ground rose higher and higher, gradually passing over everyone's heads. The morning light in the sky became brighter and brighter. Faintly, a slight sound of wind came to their ears. This wind was like music entering their minds, and there was actually a sense of rhythm.

At this moment, even Yu Guhong couldn't help but show joy on his face and said: "The way of the immortals on the sun, riding the wind and enjoying the music, is the way of the ancient immortals!"

However, the clouds in the sky suddenly turned dark black, the morning light turned dark, and in the blink of an eye, dust began to fall.

The two elders' faces turned pale and they no longer cared about anything else. They rushed to the top of the mountain and saw Helian Wei with an incredible look on his face. There were actually two extremely slender long worms crawling out of his eye sockets, bringing out blood and tears.

Helian Wei exclaimed in shock: "Corpse-evil pupil-devouring devil insect!"

Yu Guhong was shocked and said, "Dusha Dao! This Dusha Dao actually plotted against our Qi Ling Sect!"

"What should I do?" Wang Xingyi panicked. "Peak Master, do you want to inform the ancestor right away?"

"No need." Helian Wei shook his palms and actually took out his own pupils, along with the two tiny worms, and burned them into dust.

“I have been plotted against to this point. Even though I have escaped from the Helian Mountains, I still cannot escape this fate.

"You two, let me tell you something that Master has said. It is worth it for my disciple Helian Wei to be able to be Master's disciple!"

"Peak Master, there is still a way back!" Wang Xingyi exclaimed, "There is still a psychic puppet! Peak Master, quickly get your spirit out of your body!"

"What's the point of living in a mechanical puppet?" Helian Wei's face was covered with blood and tears, but he didn't cry out in pain. He continued, "Practicing like this, failure is the fate of our Helian family. I only hope that one day, the mountain gate will flourish and bring our Helian family back to Taoism!

You two, the road to immortality is blocked, I will go ahead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Helian Wei could no longer suppress the Dao Ginseng in his body. His body decayed, his blood turned to mud, his bones turned to stone, and he looked towards the south, his pupilless eyes gazing at the endless mountains in the south.

The rosy clouds in the sky dissipated, and the clouds on the mountain turned into a sky full of spiritual light that disappeared into the sky and earth. The wind and snow suddenly became fierce, and the disciples felt uneasy but dared not say anything.

At the top of the mountain, Wang Xingyi asked sadly, "What should we do with the remains of the Peak Master?"

"Just stay here." Yu Guhong said in a deep voice: "Go back to the mountain and report this matter. Thoroughly investigate the disciples of the mountain gate who have any connection with Dusha Dao. Once the facts are found..."

"I know." Wang Xingyi's eyes were slightly red, and he took the storage bag off Helian Wei with trembling hands. "We shouldn't get involved in Helian family affairs. But since Helian Wei has become the leader of our sect, we have no choice but to intervene.

I will report to the ancestor!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, returning to the mountain gate to spread the news everywhere.

Yu Guhong stopped in front of Helian Wei, who had turned into stone and soil, and sighed, "Perhaps your today is also my tomorrow.

But since we have chosen this path, we have no regrets. We can only move forward, not backward! "

The snow on the top of the mountain grew heavier, like goose feathers, gradually covering the stone statue of Helian Wei. Yu Guhong, who had been distracted for a long time, turned around and slowly walked away.

At the foot of the mountain, the disciples were at a loss, not daring to go up the mountain but also not daring to leave rashly. They all knew in their hearts that Master Helian was in great danger.

But no one dared to say this.

Yu Guhong appeared in front of everyone, with a melancholy look on his face, and ordered: "Everyone go about your own business, someone should come to the mountain gate in a few days.

The Peak Master Helian has passed away, dying on the road to immortality. This matter must not be publicized. If anyone talks too much and disrespects the Peak Master, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

After saying that, he turned and left, seemingly without much sadness.

After discussing for a while, everyone could only disperse.

Li Yuan raised his head and saw snow all over the sky, perhaps to see off someone who was leaving.

He walked back to the cave and stood beside the underground river, only to find that the water was three points colder than usual.

Earth overcomes water vapor, and when the heavens fall on the earth, gold naturally generates water. The spiritual power in the water is three times stronger than before.

"So this is a cultivator who uses the heaven and earth for his own benefit. His every move can cause changes in the world."

Li Yuan calmed down a little. True cultivation was too far away for him. Faced with the death of his predecessors who pursued the truth, he could only keep respect in his heart and encourage himself. He continued to devote himself to cultivation.

A few months later, news came from the mountain gate that the election for the new master of Lingfeng had begun.

The ones with the highest voices are the sword cultivator Cui Huaiqiu, the highly respected Elder Gu, and the rising star Ruan Jinghu.

When Li Yuan heard the news, he felt terrible.

Logically speaking, the peak master must be an elder who has at least reached the late stage of perfection. Ruan Jinghu has only entered the late stage for a few years. How could he become the peak master?

It turned out that after he made careful inquiries, he heard that it was Grandmaster Wang who admired Ruan Jinghu very much, and the Grandmaster's words naturally outweighed everything else.

Although Elder Gu is very famous in the mountain, he is old after all, nearly 150 years old, and cannot compare with Cui Huaiqiu and Ruan Jinghu.

The position of Peak Master is a position established to provide spiritual resources to elders who hope to make further progress, and it definitely places more emphasis on potential.

Fortunately, after some struggle, Patriarch Yuhe personally appointed an elder to become the master of Lingfeng Peak.

This man's name is Chen Guan, an unknown elder who is only a little over a hundred years old. His strength is unknown, but his cultivation has reached the late stage of perfection, which is the great success of bone condensation.

Since the ancestor had personally chosen, no one else dared to argue. The mountain gate became quiet, and the disciples of the two peaks had even greater expectations for Wang Qiu, the leader of Qifeng.

Master Wang Qiu is already over 140 years old. If he delays any further, his energy and blood will gradually decline, making it even more difficult to succeed.

These have nothing to do with Li Yuan. As long as Ruan Jinghu doesn't become the peak master, that's enough. Otherwise, even if he becomes a late-stage elder, he will be calculated.

The settlement at Chouyun Mountain gradually calmed down, and only the top of the mountain became a forbidden area, sealed by a formation, and disciples were not allowed to climb to the top.

The winter snow has melted away, and the sound of gurgling streams can be heard everywhere in the mountains.

Water Qi rises and all things come into being.

Li Yuan's heart moved. This kind of water Qi change is very suitable for breakthrough.

While patrolling the mountains, he looked at the spring water gathering into a river and flowing into the distance, his eyes flashing slightly.

As long as one year passes and his qi and blood stabilize, he can try to break through!

But what made Li Yuan uneasy was that Feng Zi actually returned to the Chouyun Mountain base again. Not knowing what the other party's conspiracy was, he could only be more cautious.

One day, Li Yuan, who was patrolling the mountains, met Feng Zi, who was well prepared. He smiled and said, "Junior Brother Li, it's been a long time since we last met. Your cultivation has improved."

"Brother Feng, why did you come to this poor place like Chouyun Mountain again?"

Li Yuan's face was uncertain and he looked at him warily.

“Haha, Junior Brother, you don’t have to be so careful.” Feng Zi whispered, “On the top of the mountain, there are treasures that will benefit from water. Junior Brother, if you want to break through to the late stage, you only need a little bit of the spiritual object on the top of the mountain, that’s enough! As long as you and I join forces and take away a little…” Li Yuan was shocked and said with a cold face, “Senior Brother Feng, if you keep talking nonsense, I will report you to Elder Yu immediately!”

He was quite confident of breaking through to the later stage, but he would not sacrifice his immortal path for the sake of greed for some treasure.

"Just pretend I didn't hear what Senior Brother Feng said today."

After saying that, Li Yuan turned and left, leaving Feng Zi alone standing there, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes, staring straight in the direction he left.

Li Yuan returned to the cave, and with a stir of his mind, Chen Ming, who was foraging for food in the World of Ten Thousand Trees, was suddenly pulled out. It croaked twice in some dissatisfaction.

"Listen, keep an eye on the area around the cave for me. If anyone gets close to my cave, you must come back and warn them. Don't fight with them. Got it?"

"Quack~"

Chen Ming responded, flapped his wings and flew out.

Li Yuan became more and more sensitive to unknown dangers. He even had a sense of urgency, perhaps it was his subconscious.

He could only shut himself up in seclusion and practice in seclusion.

He replenished the deficiency of Qi and blood in his body bit by bit, eating spiritual rice, drinking agarwood, absorbing spiritual energy, and eliminating the need for elixirs.

It is clearly mentioned in the Spiritual Lower Yuan Secret that unless the elixir is used to break through a realm, the elixir should not be used in daily practice, otherwise the accumulation of elixir poison will become a bottleneck and the practice will stagnate.

Li Yuan in the cave practiced hard all day long. Even if he felt bored for a long time, he still endured the darkness of the deep cave to strengthen his internal Qi and blood and increase his spiritual power.

Three years passed like this, and in the late winter and early spring of the year when Li Yuan was fifty-seven years old, he resolutely took the Jiuren Qingxi Dinggu Shengxian Pill.

Outside the cave, the spring day is warm, and the ice and snow are melting bit by bit, gathering in the mountains to form streams.

The flowing water is freezing cold, but it is also the water that nourishes spring, soaking the earth and mountains and nourishing all the trees.

Inside the cave, Li Yuan's mind focused on one point, at the center of his eyebrows. A warm current rose from his dantian, spreading into his limbs and bones, stabilizing his body.

The frontal bone is the most important of all bones, and it determines a person's vitality. Once it is broken, the person will naturally die. Therefore, the Dinggu Shengxian Pill is to stabilize the bones around the body, so that the bones of the body will not be displaced by the spiritual energy, or crushed by the spiritual power.

Li Yuan gradually gathered the spiritual power in his body on his frontal bone, and wrapped it with the Yuanshui spiritual power he absorbed from the exercises, changing the mortal nature of this bone bit by bit.

This is a long process. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Of course, you have to be extremely cautious when moving the bone in your forehead. Otherwise, if you can't control it, you will die from a skull explosion.

In the third stage of Qi Refining, the initial marrow cleansing and purification can allow the skin and flesh to communicate with spirits and enter the body.

The purpose of the mid-term blood transfusion and transportation is to transform mortal blood and mortal nature into spirituality.

The later stage of bone shaping is to completely connect the spiritual body. Once it reaches this level, the physical body is no longer that of an ordinary person, and the frontal bone is used to support the soul to ascend to the platform to nourish the primordial spirit.

Only when the frontal bone becomes spiritual can it take on the responsibility of protecting the Lingtai, the place where the primordial spirit resides, within the body.

Once you have a soul, you can be reborn even if your physical body dies.

Therefore, determining the amount of bone is the most important step and no mistakes are allowed.

Fortunately, Li Yuan's spiritual awareness is strong enough to control the slight changes in the frontal bone caused by spiritual power.

As time went by, people came to Li Yuan's cave several times because he did not patrol the mountain on time and was absent without reason.

So after the third month, the resident disciples finally reported to the elders. After hearing the news, Wang Xingyi immediately brought seven or eight disciples to find Li Yuan's cave.

"Elder, that is Junior Brother Li's cave." Feng Zi said solemnly, "I noticed that Li Yuan was acting strangely a few days ago. He might be plotting against the treasures in the mountain. Maybe no one in the cave has fled because of the crime.

Elder, you can just charge in. See if anyone is there. If not, immediately issue a wanted order to the mountain gate.

If he is here, I will definitely punish him severely!"

Wang Xingyi nodded, "This boy really doesn't take the mountain gate seriously. You guys move aside, let me see if there is anyone in this cave!"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and waved a white treasure flag, which swept towards the cave. Suddenly, white light became brighter, the earth shook, and the cave was cut several feet deep, revealing a dark light curtain.

A dark crow screamed, flapped its wings, and hid in the light curtain, disappearing.

"Formation?" Wang Xingyi sneered, "How can a poor disciple get the spiritual stones to buy a formation? Did he dig up the spiritual veins in the mountains and steal the spiritual stones?"

As soon as he thought of it, the small white flag emitted cold light and tore through the light curtain.

But I saw that the light curtain flickered and changed into pieces of rain curtains, blocking in front of me.

At this moment, Li Yuanzheng in the cave has reached a critical moment. The bones have been condensed after a hundred days, and the next step is to lift his primordial spirit up to the spirit platform. From then on, his primordial spirit will reside in the orifice, and his spiritual body will feel the heaven and respond to the earth!

Just as he was about to take this step, there was a shaking and loud noise coming from outside the cave, and Chen Ming let out a strange cry, meaning that a lot of people were coming outside.

He gritted his teeth and took out the last eight puppets from the Ten Thousand Wood Realm, four A and four B, and put them into the formation, just to delay some time.

Seeing that this formation was extraordinary, Wang Xingyi began to chant something, and a peacock's head popped out from the precious flag.

The peacock cried loudly, then spread its wings and rushed into the rain. Wherever it passed, countless raindrops turned into ice points and condensed in the air.

The eight puppets of Jiamu and Yimu stepped forward and fought endlessly with the white peacock. Although the puppets' bodies were not afraid of the cold, they could not gain the upper hand.

However, with eight puppets blocking the way, the nine-layer rain curtain had a chance to catch its breath. It reappeared after a while, and it was lost in the rain curtain, making it difficult to distinguish east from west.

"This formation is quite skillful." Wang Xingyi saw that he could not break through the formation for the time being, so he took out another magic weapon, pointed it at the rain curtain, and it turned into a silver needle that pierced through the rain curtain and passed through the eight layers.

However, he was exhausted at this moment and was blocked by the ninth layer of rain curtain about ten feet away from Li Yuan.

Wang Xingyi snorted coldly and shouted, "Break!"

The silver needle suddenly shone brightly, pierced through the light curtain, and stabbed towards Li Yuan without slowing down.

At the critical moment, Shen Ming held the silver needle in his mouth, and did not let go even though the needle pierced his mouth and made blood flow.

"Elder Wang, what are you doing?"

A cold voice sounded, and Yu Guhong sensed that the formation was turbulent. Knowing that a late-stage cultivator had taken action, he hurried over.

"Oh, Elder Yu." Wang Xingyi had a faint smile on his face. "This disciple has not performed the patrol mission for three consecutive months, so I came here to challenge him. But no one paid attention to me, and I don't even know if the disciple in the cave is still there, so I resorted to this desperate measure."

"Om~"

Suddenly, a clear sound was heard all around, and the streams on the mountain began to meander around and converge in front of the cave.

This strange scene made everyone marvel at it, and the two elders Yu and Wang also looked up in surprise.

"This is……"
