I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 123 Lifting the Restriction (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The secret realm of Xuandu Mountain, Qingming Forest.

Ancient trees blocked out the sky, vines hung down to the ground, and a large group of dark green pythons hissed as they attacked the two people in the formation.

Feng Wuhen, dressed in a blue robe, held a blue battle flag. A gust of wind exploded from the center of the formation, shredding the vines into dust.

Just as a ten-zhang-long python demon raised its head and flicked its tongue, a wind blade had already pierced its seven-inch-deep wound.

With his gray hair and black robe billowing, the sword box on his back popped open, and three swords were drawn simultaneously. The sword light and wind blades clashed, ancient trees were broken, the ground was overturned, and the snakes were turned into bloody mud before they could even let out a wail.

When the smoke and dust cleared, only two people remained standing among the corpses.

Before Xiao Jue's tense body could relax, he saw Feng Wuhen suddenly rush out, snatching the spoils of war like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. He didn't even take out the demon seed from the snake's head, but stuffed it into his storage bag, blood and gore.

Xiao Jue raised his hand to try to dissuade him, "What's your rush? Can't you even catch your breath? There's no one around, who's going to steal from you?"

Feng Wuhen kept moving his hands, saying, "I'm telling you to hurry up and put away those swords that you stuck in the trees, or they'll disappear in a flash. Then your sword box will act up again and you won't be able to open it when it matters."

Xiao Jue untied the sword box from his back and leaned against a tree to rest. His demon spirit was this sword box that liked to collect all kinds of swords and had several moves similar to those of sword cultivators. He himself also wanted to become a true sword cultivator.

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. I'm right here. Who would dare to stand in front of me..."

Whoosh!
A gust of wind brushed past his face, and before Xiao Jue could even see anything clearly, the stone sword he had stuck in the tree opposite him had vanished.

Xiao Jue rushed to the other side in one stride, made two grabbing motions in the air, and the sword was indeed gone!

Xiao Jue looked at the hole in the tree, then turned to look in the direction the wind had gone, his mouth agape and his eyes wide with disbelief.

Feng Wuhen held the bloody snake head, his face showing sympathy while his heart was filled with schadenfreude. Indeed, it was more enjoyable to see others suffer.

"I told you so, but you wouldn't listen."

Without even thinking, Feng Wuhen knew that it was Jiang Yi.

……

The incident happened so suddenly that Jiang Yi didn't even have time to buy herself a new magic sword, but luckily, she managed to find one on the road.

"Although it's only a mid-grade magic weapon, it's an earth-type stone sword, which is perfect. Hua Gu picked it up really well."

Jiang Yi put the sword into her storage belt and had Hua Gu carry her directly into the sky and disappear into the clouds.

Since the assessment, Peach Blossom Spring has been sealed off again, but Qin Yunze and his group must have a pass to enter at this time.

She is a direct disciple of the Nascent Soul stage, so the seals in the secret realm are useless against her, and she can freely enter and leave Peach Blossom Spring.

Over the past two years, Jiang Yi and others have discussed this several times, and the conclusion they reached is that there are five directions, and five plaques and five kinds of true essence are needed to open the road to the Azure Emperor Palace.

Currently, the wooden plaque is on her, Zhao Cangyun is carrying the fire plaque, and Xin Wushuang is in charge of the gold plaque.

Shang Shixu has the elemental roots of Water and Wood, and is in charge of the Water element.

Shen Puning has three spiritual roots: earth, metal, and water, with earth being the strongest. If the earth token is found, Shen Puning will be in charge.

"Hua Gu, let's go to Peach Blossom Mirror Lake first and wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump."

Whoosh!

Hua Gu sped off like lightning, heading straight for Peach Blossom Spring.

……

Three days later.

Qin Yunze and his group of five entered Peach Blossom Spring. They had been investigating the existence of the Azure Emperor Palace for ten years, sending their disciples who could enter the secret realm to search for the restriction tokens.

Today, we have finally collected all five restriction tokens.

The five of them had already discussed the specific methods for breaking the Five Elements Restriction of Peach Blossom Spring in detail in the Auspicious Cloud Tower, and had made full preparations.

The five people took the expensive pills that could temporarily shield them from attacks by their inner demons, and with their respective protective tokens, they entered the Peach Blossom Spring and went their separate ways.

Before long, guided by the various prohibition plaques, the five found their respective Mirror Lakes, each reflecting the Xuandu Mountain and Xuandu Temple. To the north, the water level...

Qin Yunze, whose temperament was both noble and somewhat feminine, was pulled into the water by the whirlpool, and the water-repelling pearl glowed with a ghostly blue light.

"The essence of Kan water is nothing more than this."

Qin Yunze unleashed the top-grade magic weapon 'Surging Wave Ruler', and with a wave of his hand, he caused the vortex to reverse. Countless ice spikes shot from the bottom of the pool were all deflected by his technique of neutralizing force with water.

South, the position of fire.

Qin Yunyan was dressed in fiery red, her high ponytail tied with a gold ring, a touch of crimson floral decoration at the corner of her eye, and her whole body was surrounded by a scorching aura.

As the fire elemental essence was continuously poured into the fire tablet, the lake surface suddenly turned into magma, from which a nine-headed fire beast leaped out.

"Red Cloud Silk, go!"

The crimson ribbon, like fire, transformed into a fiery net to block the fire beast's attack. A fiery fox with a flaming tail leaped from her waist, its sharp claws lashing out to strike the fire beast.

The West, the Metal element.

Zhang Jinling is petite and delicate, wearing a pale yellow dress, standing suspended on the lake, with thousands of cold iron swords shooting out from the reflection at her feet.

"It's not that scary~."

Zhang Jinling opened the 'Thousand Blade Umbrella', and with a flick of her wrist, golden needles rained down from beneath it, piercing and shattering all the swords and blades like a dragon in flight.

Central, earth position.

Zhang Jincheng's body was as solid as a rock, his skin was bronze, and he was trapped in the quicksand formation, the 'Earth Soul Seal' in his hand humming and trembling.

"Give it to me, blast!"

The sandstorm solidified into a giant rock dragon, which Fang Yin slammed down upon, causing the dragon to crumble into sand.

Amidst a series of bombardments and explosions, Zhang Jincheng forcefully tore a crack open in the quicksand.

East, Wood element.

With his square face and broad eyebrows, Qin Bai, dressed in a blue martial arts outfit, activated the wooden plaque, and suddenly many vines emerged from the bottom of Mirror Lake, like giant pythons strangling him.

"Aoki Puppet!"

He released a wooden puppet in the form of a giant ape, continuously injecting wood-elemental true essence into the wooden tablet while using a second-grade true fire talisman to counter the endless stream of vines.

The Green Wood Ape Puppet roared as it tore apart wave after wave of vines that were wrapping around it. The True Fire Talisman instantly burned it to ashes, but every inch of ashes that fell to the ground sprouted new shoots and in the blink of an eye formed a Green Wood Cage that swallowed it up.

The veins on Qin Bai's forehead bulged, and his square face turned a deep liver color. The wooden restriction tablet in his hand was like a bottomless pit, frantically devouring his wood-type true essence. Now it seemed to have come back to life and was actually starting to actively extract true essence from his body.

Qin Yunze had told everyone that the passage could only be opened by simultaneously filling all five restriction plates in the five positions.

Qin Bai swung out the Green Vine Whip magic weapon from his waist. The whip transformed into a hundred thorns that intertwined with the newly grown vines in the lake, drawing in the wood elemental energy from the vines.

However, the regeneration speed of the Green Wood Cage far exceeded expectations. Just as the Green Vine Whip had drained the spiritual power of the vines three zhang away, more new vines with poisonous thorns rushed out from under the lake. Even the Green Wood Ape Puppet, which was good at close combat and had the strength of a dragon and tiger, was entangled inside and could not break free.

It seems he has no choice but to use that grade-three spirit wood that he bought at a high price!

Qin Bai gritted his teeth and poured the last bit of wood-elemental true essence into the wooden plaque in his hand, then quickly took out the box containing the Grade 3 Panlong Wood.

Whoosh!
A sudden gust of wind caught Qin Bai off guard, and in the blink of an eye, the box in his hand disappeared.

"Mr. Qin, thank you for your generous gift!"

Qin Bai looked up in astonishment and saw the blue-clad girl wearing a fox mask swooping down from the clouds, a stone sword aimed straight at his throat.

　The radical of the last character in these five people's names corresponds to the five elements, making it easier for everyone to identify them.

　　This morning I made a last-minute decision to spend two days in the mountains. We need to get going, so I'll write the second update when I get to the guesthouse. It might not be updated until tonight.
