After cultivating immortality, she devoted herself to becoming an ancestor

Chapter 127 Awakening
One of the Mahayana cultivators raised his longsword and cleanly slashed at a bundle of chains at the entrance.

Seeing several ropes snap, another hesitant man drew his sword to stop him: "Senior Brother Zhuang, our mission is to maintain this enclave. You cut the array ropes..."

“If Junior Brother Li wishes to have his cultivation suppressed to enter and repair the great formation, I can forcibly open a teleportation channel for you,” Zhuang Xingjian said calmly.

Junior Brother Li was naturally unwilling to go in; he absolutely could not bear having his spiritual power forcibly suppressed at the Foundation Establishment stage.

"But if the array cable breaks and the flying ground goes out of control, won't our mission fail?"

"What mission is it? Is there a reward? It's clear that no one wants to get involved in the evil deeds of karma, so they sent us to investigate."

Junior Brother Li should know that the teleportation gate in the Taiyuan Realm has been destroyed. Leaving this place here will not only bring no benefit, but will also become a handle against us.

Think about it, in the past 20,000 years, how many of those who came to reinforce the enclave have met a good end?

"By severing it today, I can make up for the mistake I made when I damaged the teleportation node at the Sword Sect." Although it wasn't Zhuang Xingjian who deliberately caused the damage, he didn't approve of it.

Fellow Daoist Li hesitated, “This…after securing our enclave, we have, after all, inherited the legacy left by our predecessors.”

Senior brother, do you actually approve of normal interactions between the Taiyuan Realm and the Spirit Realm?

"I don't object. They will come when the opportunity arises. As for normal interactions, the Taiyuan Realm is not qualified for that yet."

"But when the energy of heaven and earth is restored, they will gradually advance in their cultivation levels."

"That's overthinking it. How could a region that's tens of thousands of years behind the Spirit Realm possibly produce a Mahayana cultivator who's several levels behind?"

By the time they have fully recovered, you and I will either have ascended to heaven or be long gone. What's the point of worrying about that?

"But it's a demon..."

"Why so many buts? If you don't want to get involved, you can pretend you didn't see it."

"If you don't understand, go ask your martial uncle." Zhuang Xingjian pushed him away and continued slashing with his sword.

Junior Brother Li did not stop him further, but instead sent a message back to the sect.

Zhuang Xingjian pretended not to see it. At the same time he cut off the forty-nine array ropes, the entire enclave broke free of its restraints and instantly shifted at high speed.

As a result, the Sparrow King Canyon changed again, the passage collapsed, the valley was compressed and shrank, and the cultivators had to evacuate urgently.

Another group of cultivators who entered the enclave were just moments before observing the Core Formation and Demon Extermination from afar within the defensive array, when in the blink of an eye they were flung away by the exploding array and collided with those blood-red demonic beasts.

Now, they have no choice but to fight, and they have to fight the monsters while the earth is shaking and they are unstable.

Shen Suiren wanted to scatter talismans in mid-air, but the bird feathers lost weight and fell down as soon as they took flight, so she could only draw her sword and slash.

Cheng Zhishun cleverly scattered talismans behind her, so there was no need to worry about encountering enemies in front of her. "We should call Ao Jian out."

"He's exhausted and has taken a lot of pills." Shen Suiren glanced at the little dragon king in the space room with his divine sense. The little guy had already returned to his dragon form and was fast asleep, completely unaffected by the battle.

The Dragon Abyss Sword in her hand was indeed a spiritual treasure; under her command, it released sword energy and cut through a path in just a moment.

But instead of praise, the response was, "Fellow Daoist at the beginning of the year, you've hurt your own people."

“At the beginning of the year, you should put away your sword and rest. We’ll fight.” Jiang Xiaoye was not far from her.

The Xuanjian Sect cultivator also shouted, "Fellow Daoist Suichu, these demonic beasts are already injured; it's not worth your time to intervene."

Shen Suiren glanced at the sword, silently sheathed it, and replaced it with her magic knife.

However, their hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators were simply too powerful, and those demonic beasts that clashed together were all wiped out.

Just then, the ground stopped moving, and everyone was able to clean up the battlefield.

Someone remarked, "It's not as serious as people say."

"These were those who managed to escape from the encirclement of Core Formation cultivators, and they were already injured."

"Hey, their blood is black!" Another person was saying when he suddenly collapsed.

"Fellow Daoist Du!" The person next to him hurriedly helped him up, but he too fell to the ground.

Taiyi Sect's Yun Chuan quickly raised his voice to warn, "Oh no! Hold your breath and burn the demon corpse!"

As he spoke, a large number of cultivators fell to the ground.

When Shen Suiren unleashed the fire, Cheng Zhishun grabbed her and gave her the Little Dragon King's spatial dimension: "Send me into the spatial magic room."

She noticed that his eyes had turned emerald green and become bloodshot, so she immediately gave him pills and a small space house: "Ice Dew Pill, Divine Harmony Pill."

"It's not demonic energy, it's the blood of a demonic beast, and it's poisonous." Cheng Zhishun grew up in the Demonic Sect and had been to the Demon Pool Secret Realm several times, so he wouldn't be affected at all. Only poison would affect him since he didn't have the Strange Flame on him.

"Then, a top-grade antidote pill and an ice-type spiritual fruit."

"You..." Before Shen Suiren could finish speaking, he also fainted, so he had to use his divine sense to send the pill into his mouth.

But the next moment, Cheng Zhishun suddenly opened his eyes and, before he could even stand up, struck at her consciousness with his palm.

Shen Suiren reacted extremely quickly, swiftly placing the Longyuan Sword in his hand. The hilt struck Cheng Zhishun directly on the forehead, knocking him unconscious instantly.

Then she slipped inside, sealed the latter's dantian consciousness, and examined his pulse for a long time.

When they came out again, Senior Sister Gongsun and the others who were still conscious were knocking down the frenzied cultivators who had just woken up.

She swiftly swept through the crowd, knocking out one cultivator after another with her sword.

"At the beginning of the year, are there still Ice Dew Pills left?" On the other end, Zong Rou, who had sealed her fellow disciple's dantian, asked her for medicine.

"Here, this medicine isn't very effective. Let's try adding a Qi-awakening Pill." Shen Suiren tossed over two bottles. As she and the others moved the person to a clean spot, they suddenly saw their Uncle-Master Li Yue flying over on his sword.

"So many people have been poisoned?" Several hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators came in, and half of them were poisoned at once.

"Master Fan, how is my martial uncle?"

"Master Fan..."

"Senior Fan..." Everyone bowed and inquired, and Fan Liyue answered and comforted them one by one. It was a long time before it was his own disciple's turn.

"Uncle-Master, have any of your people been poisoned too? Have all the demonic beasts been wiped out?" The demons here aren't very powerful.

Fan Liyue nodded: "Yes, there are a few. This poison is extremely potent. Once it affects the soul, ordinary antidotes are useless."

The bloodthirsty demonic beasts within a hundred miles have all been wiped out. Several fellow cultivators followed the path the demonic beasts had taken to search for the antidote.

The alchemists suggested that the antidote required several kinds of spiritual herbs, and that they should search for them in groups.

I will take Sui Chu and Le Xun to find the antidote. You will stay here and listen to the instructions of Master Hou Xu and Master Gan.

"This is an incomplete map." As she spoke, she handed the jade slip to Jiang Xiaoye.

"Yes." When the disciples saw the two Core Formation cultivators from the Taiyi Sect and the Alliance arriving on their swords, they quickly bowed to them.

Fan Liyue exchanged a few words with his two fellow Daoists, then led Shen Suiren and Gongsun Lexun onto the flying sword.

Shen Tinglu caught up and asked, "Master Fan, may I go with Sui Chu?"

"At the beginning of the year?" Fan Liyue respected Shen Suiren's decision.

The latter refused, saying, "I can protect myself."

Shen Tinglu kept in mind the old ancestor's teachings: when you see Sui Chu, listen to her. So she didn't pester her, only told Sui Chu to be careful, and then returned to her team.

Fan Liyue appreciated the Shen family's understanding and tact, saying, "We can get along well in the future."

Then he asked, "You arrived relatively early, do you know where these mad monsters came from?"

"Is it in the west? The monster probably came out of the swamp in the Dui position." Shen Suiren pointed to the little bit of mud left on the ground, which was obviously trampled by the burning monster.

"You observed very carefully, but I plan to go to the dragon bone area and pick some fresh dragon blood grass for everyone."

In case we can't find the antidote herb, we can use the dragon blood herb to draw the poison out of their bodies." After Fan Liyue flew away with them, he switched to using divine sense to transmit his voice, "I just searched the souls of three Core Formation cultivators, but they don't know much."

However, this place is known in the spirit world as the Land of the Evil Dragon. The black dragon sealed here is the evil dragon that wiped out several cities of human race in the Great Wilderness Realm.

Your father and his companions faced great danger while living with the remnant soul of the Black Dragon amidst numerous upheavals in this place.

Before coming in, I took the magical artifacts my senior uncle gave me; I need to try and get them out as quickly as possible.

"Whether it is a real evil dragon is unknown, but the person who set up the array used the body and soul of an evil dragon as a sacrifice to block the evolution of the teleportation tower, which is truly evil." Shen Suiren was also thinking of going to find his father.

"However, we need to pass through two areas of sword-shaped grass, which are impassable at night due to the dew."

"It might not be possible to get there even if we stay all night." Fan Liyue preferred to sit and wait in front of the sword-shaped grass. She turned her head and looked at Gongsun, who was hanging his head and not saying a word. "Le Xun? You've been affected too?"

Gongsun Lexun shook his head: "No, I'm thinking about the person who set up the array at the beginning of the year. Why would he, or they, treat the Taiyuan Realm like this?"

And then there's Lianqiao; the Purple Dragon King has already said that there's something fishy going on between her and Queyi.

Que Yi not only knew about the existence of the teleportation tower, but was also the murderer who killed the Floating Moon Sect Master thousands of years ago. She is most likely related to Elder Chu.

So, could we assume that Lianqiao might be a spy they planted in the Taiyi Sect, while other sects might not have any spies among them?

Shen Suiren and Fan Liyue, who knew the inside story, exchanged a glance. "Hopefully, the elders of the Taiyi Sect will also think of this and keep a close watch on her."

……

Sect Master Fu Jiang and others naturally had many thoughts on this matter, and after three Nascent Soul cultivators died in succession in the cultivation world, different voices emerged within the sect.

It is known that each of the twelve Nascent Soul cultivators of the Taiyi Sect has their own ideas.

When True Monarch Xiansi heard that several Nascent Soul Peak Masters were discussing soul searching, he was immediately in an uproar.

Instead of confronting Sect Master Fujiang, she forced her way into the dungeon of the Enforcement Hall, intending to take her daughter Lianqiao away.

But before she could even leave the dungeon, she was intercepted by the arriving True Lord of Sincerity.

“Junior sister, for the sake of Senior Brother Siyu, I will not question your trespassing, but Lian Qiao is a suspect and cannot meet with outsiders.”

"Aren't you at Shaowu Mountain?"

"It is enough to keep one person by your side. Please proceed."

"Senior brother, do you also support searching for Lianqiao's soul?" True Monarch Xiansi took a step closer instead of backing down.

Sincere True Lord involuntarily stepped back, secretly preparing himself defensively. "Junior Sister, this matter..."

"Senior brother, you and Si Yu entered the sect at the same time and have been friends for hundreds of years. You should know that he cherishes this daughter the most."

Regarding the matter of Geng Jin, if Lian Qiao is at fault, my husband and I will compensate double.

How did it come to the point of searching the soul? You know perfectly well that Lian Qiao was frail as a child, and it took countless hardships to save her. "Master Xian Si is a master at playing the emotional card."

The Sincere True Lord sighed inwardly. He knew all too well that it was not easy for high-level cultivators to have children, and that his senior brothers and sisters loved their daughters dearly.

But just today, when the topic of alchemists arriving at the Immortal Travel Sect to refine pills came up, True Monarch Zhu Kuang suddenly mentioned: "I've heard that there's no high-level alchemist in the cultivation world that Fellow Daoist Si Yu doesn't know. He once brought his child to seek medical treatment from many people."

As a result, his later medical and alchemical skills were quite good, entirely because his adopted daughter became a master in them.

At the time, he nodded in agreement, saying that if his senior brother were in the sect, he would definitely participate in alchemy. But in the blink of an eye, he heard several fellow Daoists speculating about the connection between Elder Chu, Que Yi, and the Tengluo Society.

He suddenly realized something was wrong; Zhu Kuang would never have mentioned Si Yu and her father for no reason.

Upon further reflection, he almost lost his composure on the spot, so after the mountain was compressed in the Sparrow King Gorge, he immediately returned to his sect.

“Junior sister, it must have been hard for you to take Lianqiao to see doctors back then.”

"Don't worry, I absolutely disagree with searching her soul just because of a few pieces of Geng metal."

"Really?" True Lord Xiansi still trusted him.

The Sincere True Lord nodded. "I'll take you to see her. Junior Sister, you should also persuade Lian Qiao that the punishment is different between admitting your mistakes voluntarily and being found out passively."

As you know, since the teleportation portal appeared, our sect is currently in dire need of manpower and will provide an unlimited supply of disciples for advancement. Don't miss this golden opportunity.

"Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely talk to her properly." True Lord Xiansi was overjoyed.

She wasn't particularly cunning, so she didn't expect that Sect Master Fujiang and the others were listening to the mother and daughter talking in the secret room behind Lian Qiao.

When Lian Qiao learned from her that Elder Chu's identity had been exposed, she was momentarily stunned. "So, his cultivation is much higher than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

"That should be true. The three Nascent Soul cultivators who were killed were almost powerless to fight back."

Forsythia, you need to advance your cultivation level quickly to have more protection.

"We can afford to pay for that Gengjin." The Gengjin in the hands of True Monarch Xiansi had not been used yet. She searched carefully and found the secret mark that Chief Shen had mentioned.

Lianqiao didn't mention Gengjin, but said, "Mother, no matter how fast I am, it's impossible for me to form a Nascent Soul in two or three months. At most, I will reach the mid or late stage of Core Formation."

"Um, has anyone reached the Divine Transformation stage yet?" Lian Qiao asked hesitantly, voicing her most pressing question.

True Monarch Xiansi told her about the disappearance of the spiritual herb. True Monarch Zhicheng in the dark room carefully activated the monitoring array of the cell and instantly saw a fleeting look of relief in Lian Qiao's eyes.

He immediately withdrew his divine sense and thoughtfully transmitted his voice to Sect Master Fujiang, "Her reaction is not quite right. I suggest changing her location for imprisonment."

"It's best not to perform a soul search. Otherwise, if something goes wrong and she turns into someone like Shen Manqi, it will be difficult to explain to Senior Brother Si Yu."

"Without searching, we can't confirm whether she has been possessed."

The Kunlun Mirror couldn't reflect anything. "The sect leader of Fujiang was filled with sorrow. He couldn't very well ask Prince Chongming to come and see for himself."

The sect's reputation cannot be lost. "Senior brother, you should prepare to go into seclusion to advance your cultivation. I will send her to the sect's secret area and have an eighth-tier spirit beast guard her." He could no longer send a Core Formation cultivator to watch over her; with Senior Sister Xiansi's oppressive aura, even Core Formation cultivators couldn't withstand it.

Zhicheng was somewhat surprised, as he had originally planned to personally oversee the alchemist's refining process: "Has the Immortal Travel Sect already sent the spiritual herbs?"

"Yes, it was delivered through the black market, trying to avoid Chu Mo as much as possible." As soon as Sect Master Fujiang finished speaking, another Nascent Soul cultivator beside him showed the two of them to listen carefully to what was being said next door.

Lian Qiao said, "Mother, even if I tell you about what happened at the mine, it's impossible for me to be released anytime soon."

"You wouldn't actually kill Shen Wan, would you?"

"How could that be? It wouldn't be worth it for a few pieces of Geng metal." She was born with the Sparrow and the Two Killings in her destiny. "Don't tell me, listen to me."

"My weapon-refining shop hasn't had me come to refine weapons and supply goods for a long time, so business must have plummeted. You should tell the shopkeeper to close it down."

Also, you must not go out alone. Go into seclusion for a while, and when you emerge, my father will surely have returned.

The group in the dark room exchanged glances and immediately sent someone to investigate Lianqiao's private shop.
