Chapter 136 Incitement
Shen Dingru lied, so he used the pretense of seclusion to stabilize his cultivation and quietly came to the library.

He bowed deeply before the black coffin and said, "Ancestor Wu, I have come to see you with an important matter concerning the life and death of my daughter."

"Is it that serious?" Considering the little girl's fondness for learning formations, Wu Xuanzi had to show some concern.

Shen Dingru nodded emphatically: "In the disciple's inner demon tribulation, there is a tree just like Ya Ya, and inside the tree is the remnant soul of the beginning of the year."

I want to take her away, just like in a dream I've seen before.

But for some reason, the tree fell into a long, star-studded river…” The word “river” was about to be uttered when it was interrupted by a series of thunderclaps.

The cultivators, who were about to leave after repairing the long street, wondered, "Who else in the Shen family wants to form their core?"

"Only three strikes, not the Heavenly Tribulation of Core Formation." This was a warning from Taiyi Thunder, which governs both punishment and salvation. The Sincere Star Lord glanced in the direction of the library, lost in thought.

Shuiheng Xingjun transmitted his voice to him: "Fellow Daoist, you are in a good position, why not take a disciple from the Shen family as your apprentice?"

That senior was at least at the Nascent Soul stage in his lifetime.

The Star Lord of Sincerity shook his head, saying that taking on disciples at this time would be too opportunistic.

At this moment, Wu Xuanzi was saying to Shen Dingru, "Heaven is giving a warning; if you can't say what comes next, you don't need to."

You want to know where Ya Ya came from, so you can find that tree in advance to make arrangements, right?

"Yes."

"The Seeking Tree is a celestial tree that grows by the river. When it matures, it can connect the three realms, and its branches can stretch for thousands of miles. Ordinary people can hardly see it."

Uncle-Master Chenchu ​​once accidentally entered the Underworld during his travels, and obtained it unintentionally at the place where the two worlds were connected.

"Don't even think about finding it and destroying it, because you might never find it or destroy it in your entire life." Wu Xuanzi told him to give up this idea.

Shen Dingru murmured, "It really is related to the underworld."

Wu Xuanzi glanced at the swaying bud and decided to give him a few more pointers: "What you see may be the source of life at the beginning of the year."

The wood has the ability to create space, which can save lives in critical moments.

As for cultivators, none of them can guarantee that they will live as long as heaven and earth. Even the Taiyuan Realm can be shattered, let alone humans.
Inner demons don't just appear during advancement; if you dwell on them, they will become a curse on your future cultivation.

Instead of wasting time thinking about all this, you should focus on your cultivation and provide a better future for your daughter.

She suspected that Uncle Chenchu ​​had been rescued by Yaya and taken somewhere, which was why it lost its power and turned into a leaf.

Shen Dingru pondered for a long time, then said, "This disciple has learned much and will certainly practice diligently."

Unexpectedly, as he got up to take his leave, a jade slip shot towards him.

"It is not advisable for you to practice formations at this time. I will give you this sword technique. Remember it and put it back in its original place."

"Yes."

While he was memorizing the sword technique, on the other side, Shen Suiren was already in front of the half-open scroll, watching Elder Chu desperately flee amidst the mountains, rivers, thunder, and lightning depicted in the painting.

She asked, "Grandmaster, how long will it take for him to admit defeat? I want to find out who Lianqiao really is."

Zhu Kuang smiled and said, "You already have the answer in your heart, so it doesn't matter whether you ask or not."

The messenger sent a message saying that the two Core Formation cultivators risked their lives to protect her as she escaped, showing how important she was.

"Uncle Tang was very angry. He said he only cut off one of their arms and let them escape again, without removing Lianqiao's mask in public." Shen Suiren felt deeply regretful when he received the news.

Zhu Kuang closed the scroll and stood up: "No rush, it's just a few Core Formation cultivators."

Your master and I must return with everyone. This is a rare opportunity. You should stay at the Shen family and practice your formations diligently.

Later, Lei Dun will come to the Shen family for protection.

"Grandmaster, let Uncle Lei recover properly."

Now that Chongming and the others are all staying at the sect, they will surely keep their promise, so there's no need to send anyone to protect me anymore.

"Besides, I'm with my ancestors; no one can barge in." Being watched by others was too inconvenient, so Shen Suiwen took the opportunity to refuse her guardianship.

Zhu Kuang thought for a moment and said, "Alright, Chongming said she will stay here for a while."

We'll stay in the market for a few more days.

Just as she finished speaking, the communication jade beeped. She opened it and was immediately overjoyed: "Senior Brother Ziquan has successfully transformed into a Nascent Soul cultivator. Fellow Daoist Bingyuan of the Xuanjian Sect, who was only half an hour later, has also successfully transformed into a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Fellow Daoist Yaori of the Demon Moon Sect and Fellow Daoist Huaiji of the Great Buddha Temple, please prepare to take the Barrier-Breaking Pill in three days.

"Could it have been during the battle against Chu Mo?"
"Only at that time did we fail to notice the abnormal spiritual energy in the northwest." Shen Suiren made a reasonable guess.

Upon closer inspection, Zhu Kuang's smile widened even more: "It really is."

Situ Shiyuan exhaled a breath of turbid air: "Then we already have four Nascent Soul cultivators, so we are no longer afraid of the gates of the boundary opening wide."

It's not actually that safe, but having a Nascent Soul cultivator gives you the confidence to engage in dialogue, not to mention that some people will successfully advance to the next level.

After a pause, she asked again, "Master, shall we return to the sect now?"

"There are calamities again in the direction of the sect!" someone shouted from outside.

The three opened the door and saw that the tribulation clouds were heading towards the Taiyi Sect. "It must be Elder Luoshan of the Alliance who is about to undergo tribulation."

At the beginning of the year, focus on practicing military formations and don't meddle in other people's business. We won't be leaving for the time being." Zhu Kuang patted his grand-disciple's shoulder.

"Yes, we will." Shen Suiren saw them off and the sleeping little dragon king off, but Chongming was nowhere to be seen.

"A-Luan, where is Chongming hiding?"

"Let's lie down in the library and read. That rocking chair looks really fun, let's buy a couple and lie down in it." The little fox king scanned the area with his divine sense and saw Chongming, who was recuperating from his injuries, flipping through a book while eating a snack.

“Alright, I’ll ask Shen Shuo to buy a few.” Shen Suiren released a communication talisman as he walked towards the library, just in time to avoid his father who was coming downstairs.

But as she went upstairs, Chongming, who was hiding and reading a book, said, "Your father just came by."

Upon entering the secret chamber, Wu Xuanzi said, "You, like your father, suffer from inner demons?"

Shen Suiren paused for a moment: "I don't have any inner demons, so what inner demons does my father have?"

"You." Wu Xuanzi had no intention of keeping secrets for others; she thought it best for the little girl to listen.

Shen Dingru never expected that the news would be delivered to his daughter twice as soon as he left the library.

“My father feels too guilty towards me. Once I become a Core Formation Ancestor, he won’t have to worry so much.” As soon as Shen Suiren finished speaking, he heard laughter coming from the black coffin, accompanied by the cracking sound of bones.

Wu Xuanzi couldn't stop laughing: "Aren't you ashamed? After the Divine Transformation stage became ubiquitous, you, a Core Formation stage cultivator, dare to presume to call yourself an ancestor."

“Then you haven’t heard of the Qi Refining Ancestor or the Foundation Establishment Grandmaster.” Shen Suiren wasn’t ashamed at all.

He said, "I came to see you because something suddenly came to mind."

Could you please adjust and control the teleportation to the Spirit Realm from this side of the Dragon Palace portal of the Purple Hall Dragon King?

I'm not talking about violently destroying our own array patterns.

Wu Xuanzi was in high spirits today and was willing to talk more. "No, I can only seal off one side of my own side, which is similar to breaking the array pattern. At most, the opponent will deviate from the teleportation trajectory."

Those with low cultivation levels may perish in the mutated spatial rifts, while those with high cultivation levels still have a 50% chance of falling into the Taiyuan Realm.

What you've thought of, those at the Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation stages can also think of; they already know the outcome without even asking.

Shen Suiren then asked, "Would you be interested in meeting the Purple Lotus Dragon King? She sent people to other realms to inquire about her true form."

"I don't know her. I'm younger than her and died earlier than her, so there are many things I don't know."

"If you have nothing to do, come downstairs and play, or go check out the array plate." Wu Xuanzi refused decisively and hid the black coffin again, ignoring everyone.

The Little Fox King transmitted his voice: "Has she been oppressed by the Great Dragon King?"

Shen Suiren chose to stay and look through the array diagram: "Abai often eavesdrops on the disciples' gossip in the sect, and sometimes he deliberately jumps out to scare people."

Our ancestors probably also encountered the tricks of the Purple Dragon King.

"Sigh, a month is almost over, and I don't know if my grandmaster uncle will be able to come back with us." Of course not, the day the three Mahayana cultivators from the Taiyuan Sect came to warn us, they destroyed the teleportation node.

The array masters of the Sword Sect and the Daoist Sect cannot repair it in a short time.

The array masters sent by the Taiyuan Sect were simply a drag on the team.

"They must be doing this on purpose, not wanting to open the interdimensional teleportation immediately."

"The attack on the teleportation node was almost certainly planned." True Lord Chixin was so angry that he stopped practicing his swordsmanship and went to complain to True Lord Cen Che and his disciple.

Otherwise, his mind wouldn't be clear, and his sword practice wouldn't go smoothly.

“I inquired with Daoist Yuangeng, and he said it would be difficult to repair in less than a year or two.”

The two sects together comprise only five Mahayana sects, and they will not clash with more than ten Mahayana sects due to the time needed for repairs.

"I think I should return to the Taiyuan Realm from where I fell into the Spirit Realm to disperse my cultivation and start over." Yuanbei had already made this plan.

After a slight pause, True Lord Chixin said, "It won't make a difference if it's a year or two, will it?"

"No, why would you want to dissipate your late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation?"

Yuanbei spoke frankly, "I need to go back and undergo the Forty-Nine Thunder Tribulation to form my Nascent Soul, and then undergo the Sixty-Nine Thunder Tribulation to transform into a Deity, in order to enhance my combat power."

As far as I know, the Nascent Soul cultivators who came here in the early years were able to fight to a draw with the Void Refinement cultivators of this world, but half of them were later besieged and killed.

Individually, they seem fine, but when considered together, it appears to be a coordinated effort by someone to target us.

I haven't found out whether any of them survived and ascended to the Immortal Realm, but now we've come into the sights of certain people. After undergoing the Nine Tribulations of Lightning to become a Nascent Soul in this realm, who knows if we won't be hunted down and killed even faster.

He would rather risk his life under the tribulation of lightning in the Taiyuan Realm than be instantly killed after easily becoming a god in the Spirit Realm.

The Crimson Heart True Monarch's heart skipped a beat: "Was this done by the Taiyuan Sect?"

"About what you think the senior will say a year from now?"
"Won't they sabotage it again, making the portal even worse?" Yuanbei had always been skeptical of the Taiyuan Sect.

The True Lord of Loyal Heart fell into deep thought.

True Monarch Cen Che transmitted his voice to his eldest disciple: "You are trying to persuade him to go back with us."

"Hehe, Master saw through me?"

"You."

The master and disciple didn't expect True Lord Chixin to make a decision immediately. They had nothing to do today and were just about to set up the chess pieces for a few games when they heard the sounds of fighting outside.

By the way, the dozen or so people who joined the Sword Sect last time have already moved to their assigned cave dwellings. Those who remain in this courtyard are either cultivators who are going to join the Dao Seeking Sect or demons from the Taiyuan Realm.

The three of them scanned the area with their divine senses and saw Ao Qi and Ao Chen fighting.

Many onlookers thought Ao Chen had made another mistake, but to their surprise, he said while fighting, "Ao Qi stayed behind and told the Taiyuan Sect cultivators all the realities of our Taiyuan Realm."

He was about to lead the dragon clan to surrender to the Great Wilderness demon clan.

"Ao Qi, you betrayed us!" Hu Xi, the fox clan leader, joined the fray upon hearing this.

The other demons were getting restless, and the cultivators also wanted to make a move, so the fire qilin quickly went up to separate them.

"It's not just Ao Qi; several other demons have been bribed and sold off."

"Oh, the one who bribed them is also a demon." Ghost Moon True Lord strolled over to find Cen Che True Lord, followed by Luo Heng of the Asura Sect, who had remained unchanged for ten thousand years.

And brought the latest news: "Wo Xiang and Si Yu are going to attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage at the Sword Sect."

Lian Zi, moved by worldly desires, wants to become a Daoist partner with a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Sword Sect.

"It's quite boring staying here. I should go and report to the Daoist Sect sometime, so I can wander around the Spirit Realm."

"I advise you not to forward this. We're already being targeted." Yuan Bei wasn't making this up. After a few demon cultivators were bribed, it was time to take over the human cultivators.

They belonged to various sects and occasionally had conflicts, so it wasn't easy for them to be exploited to dismantle their loose group.

"Staying hidden away in the Dao Seeking Sect and not coming out?" Gui Yue frowned.

Cen Che then said, "Return to the Taiyuan Realm."

Gui Yue's eyes lit up: "You have connections?"

"Have."

"when are we leaving?"

"tonight."

"That's not fair; they didn't even tell me beforehand."

"Take me with you. We must go back during Ghost Month."

“And me too.” Luo Heng always felt that the spirit world was unsafe, even though he had never been outside.

True Lord Chixin also made up his mind: "I will also leave, but will Daoist Yuangeng agree?"

“Elder Yuangen will not only support us, but will also cover our escape.” Yuanbei knew that Daoist Yuangen was preparing for smooth teleportation in the future.

They are, after all, nominally affiliated with the Dao Seeking Sect, and will inevitably show some favoritism towards Dao Seeking Sect cultivators.

Most importantly, the Dao Lord must send someone to accompany him.

“Yuanbei has a place that connects the two worlds. Why didn’t you go there before?” Guiyue asked.

"Because it is located in a mortal realm devoid of spiritual energy, and it only opens once every few years."

I searched through many records and only found one or two sentences that said that the misty mountain appears in the world once every few years at irregular intervals.

"I can't stay in this desolate place forever waiting for it." "Does he not want to leave?" Yuanbei said, then demanded that they not leave through this door before they departed.

"You're not even sure?" Gui Xin asked him, but looked at Cen Che, "Is your disciple really that unreliable?"

Cen Che replied, "I'm not willing to give up without trying. The Spirit Realm is not a safe place."

Yuanbei's smile towards the two of them deliberately carried a hint of disdain.

Luo Heng was indeed provoked: "Fine, I'll go then. Who's afraid of who?"

The three of them exchanged glances. If they wanted to go back, they had to give it a try. "There are twelve of us who have entered the Dao Seeking Sect. Now four of us have left. We won't ask about the other eight."
I don't know about others, but Huai Shan is definitely going to leave.

"It's not too late to ask after entering the Daoist Sect." Yuanbei wasn't familiar with those people.

In the evening, half an hour before Yuan Geng Daojun arrived, Fox Clan Chief Hu Xi and Flood Dragon Ao Chen came looking for them and insisted on going to the Dao Asking Sect, saying, "I want to make a pact with Fellow Daoist Cen Che."

Hu Xi felt that the demons no longer obeyed the Great Fire Qilin's control and would eventually be defeated one by one and reduced to spirit beasts. It would be better for them to recognize their own people.

After exchanging telepathic messages, the two quickly became master and disciple of Cen Che.

Faced with the established facts, Yuan Geng Daojun went with the flow and discussed with the Sword Sect about taking the two demons away.

He also reminded the Sword Sect that they should either completely imprison the remaining demons to prevent them from contacting outsiders, or send them to the Great Wilderness to gain favor.

After he led Cen Che and the others back to the Dao Seeking Sect to complete their shifts, and asked the others if they were willing to risk returning to the Taiyuan Realm, only Huai Shan was willing to go.

Several days later, when Cen Che and his group finally found and entered the misty immortal mountain, both Chongming and the Little Fox King in the Shen family sensed that outsiders had entered the secret place through their life tablets.

"Chongming, I'm going to find Suichu. The secret realm probably needs to be stabilized as soon as possible."

I'm so worried it might transfer to the spirit world on its own.

“She’s learning formations, but her cultivation level is low, so she’s looking for Zhu Kuang.” Chongming first contacted Wu Wu and a few others.

The Little Fox King, who was in love with Shen Suiren, secretly informed her through a soul contract.

As a result, she was distracted and damaged the array pattern, causing the array plate to explode and leaving her face covered in debris. Fortunately, the other members of the Shen family were not affected.

After inquiring about the reason, Wu Xuanzi pondered for a moment and said, "Carry me with you."
