Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 680 The Enemy Who Offers Warmth
The tide of the Blood River was approaching, but it was blocked by the spiritual light of the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner. Ji An released the Blazing Fire of Heaven for the second time.

The enemy's location was hidden and hard to pinpoint, so he didn't bother to search for them. If they wanted to play hide-and-seek, he'd go all out.

A dozen or so blood beasts surged out, creating waves. Two of them had reached the Golden Core stage, and several bone beasts charged out together, wielding menacing bone knives.

The Blood Beast and the Bone Beast charged through the first defensive circle of the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, only to be trapped in the evolved yellow sand, like horses falling into a quagmire.

The blazing white flames in the sky fell gracefully and rapidly, like mournful snowflakes.

Both the blood beasts and the bone beasts quickly burst into flames. They could no longer care about charging forward. They howled in pain, trying to retreat, but they struggled in the endless yellow sand and could not move forward or backward. Soon they fell silent.

In the river of blood, Yun Nianren suppressed the blood dripping from her heart. She tried to gather the blood, but she couldn't bother to gather all the blood.

She hastily unleashed a secret technique, burning her life essence to escape. A ball of crimson light flew into the distance like a thunderbolt. Although her body was scorched by the flames, her surging blood energy quickly extinguished them.

She couldn't understand why, despite her rapid progress, she was still no match for the enemy!
The magic weapon was a high-grade third-tier item, and the cultivator was at the late Golden Core stage, but in a single exchange, nearly 60% of the Blood River evaporated, and the Blood Lotus conjured by the magic weapon was completely destroyed, with the damage being reflected back to the magic weapon itself.

She still had tricks up her sleeve, and hadn't released the demonic soul army condensed from the demon lord, originally intending to catch the enemy off guard at the last minute.

However, she never expected that her strongest attack would be defeated head-on. This was the third time!

Two spells alone destroyed years of hard work and completely shattered her confidence.

Yun Nianrong understood that even if she released the accumulated demonic souls, it would only force the opponent to cast spells twice more.

She was unsure if she could break through the enemy's defenses, and the shadows of the past loomed over her once more.

Therefore, she did not launch a desperate attack, and she did not feel ashamed of running away, perhaps because she had become accustomed to it.

Ji An watched the blood-red light quickly disappear from sight, scratched his head, and said:
"I've dealt with this enemy before, and she poses less and less of a threat to me. But she's running away faster and faster."

Unless you can inflict direct damage on her physical body, I estimate you'll never be able to kill her.

The opponent's speed was simply too fast; even with his flaming banner propelled off the ground and pushing with all his might, he couldn't catch up.

Lianshan Zhenjun did not respond, but instead asked:

"Has your attack spell reached its perfect level?"

He had already confirmed this, but he was so shocked that he asked the question.

In the small world, the planting spells released by the other party were of a very high level, and he could feel the blossoming of the Five Elements Divine Intent.

This offensive spell is of a very high level, and the other defensive spell is of an even higher level.

He couldn't understand just how strong the other person's understanding of the Five Elements magic was to be proficient in several Golden Core level spells.

Ji An nodded, "Yes, I practice my spells very diligently and have excellent comprehension, so I have a few spells that I can be proud of."

Lianshan Zhenjun had an urge to open the other party's skull. These spells were only what he could see; what about the ones he couldn't see?

"Lifespan has always been a sword hanging over the heads of cultivators. In order to improve their realm more quickly, high-level cultivators do not have much time to practice spells, and they are not proficient in all spells."

You have overturned my understanding. The magic for nurturing the Nascent Soul level has been brought to its full potential in your hands, causing a sensation in this world.

He sighed, his eyes filled with longing, and continued:

"The enemy who just fled was practicing a blood-related technique, which is actually a very grand and majestic technique."

Blood contains too many secrets; high-level demonic beasts can hide their inheritance within their bloodlines.

The enemy burned their life essence at the cost of their very being, and it's very difficult to recover. They paid such a high price just to escape, so they had to be fast enough.

Once you break through to the Nascent Soul realm, you can learn the Golden Light Leap, which is the fastest flying spell.

By the way, are you proficient in the Five Elements Escape Technique? If so, it will be helpful in cultivating the Golden Light of Earth-Soaring.

"not bad."

What level is "not bad"?

"All five escape techniques have reached their peak."

Ji Anping calmly replied that if the environment was suitable, he might be able to catch up with the fleeing enemy by using his escape technique.

Although the escape technique consumes a lot of mana, he is a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator and can release the escape technique multiple times in a row.

The enemy, having burned their life essence, will inevitably not be able to sustain it for long.

Lian Shan Zhenjun remained silent. At this moment, purple lightning descended from the sky in the distance, and the rolling thunder was as continuous as a surging river.

Feeling his soul tremble, Ji An asked:

"True Lord, how many waves of Nascent Soul Tribulation are there?"

The Golden Core Tribulation consists of six waves, one wave of each of the Five Elements Divine Thunder, plus one wave of Chaos Divine Thunder. He had no idea what the intensity of the Nascent Soul Tribulation was.

He had read through the Five Elements Sect's lineage more than once, but some knowledge was not recorded in writing.

"It can be said to be three plus one, three waves of Chaos Divine Lightning, nine in each wave. The intensity of the Chaos Divine Lightning is much greater than the lightning when breaking through to the Golden Core stage, and it is completely at the level of a fourth-order spell."

The so-called "one" refers to a time when the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder could stimulate the power within the Golden Core, causing the Nascent Soul to break out of the core, hence the saying "breaking the core to form the Nascent Soul".

How long do you plan to stay? This is enemy territory after all; you shouldn't linger here."

"This disciple plans to change location to continue monitoring, at least to see if the demonic cultivator can successfully break through." "First, put me into the Void Stone, so that it will be easier for me to fall into a deep sleep."

Yun Nianrong continued to flee forward, and when she realized that the enemy was not chasing her, she breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down her flight.

The sect leader is currently breaking through a cultivation level; she cannot go to Yuanhe Mountain, as that would be suicidal.

If the enemy relentlessly pursues her, she will have to pay an even greater price, and her cultivation level may even decline.

Upon arriving near her hiding place, she cautiously observed her surroundings for a moment before entering to conceal herself.

Blood River suffered heavy losses and she had to find a way to replenish it. However, the sect leader pointed out that the practice of killing cultivators and plundering their souls and flesh had great drawbacks, and from then on she dared not easily slaughter cultivators.

About an hour later, two black-robed cultivators flew in looking disheveled.

Yun Nianrong frowned, a bad feeling rising in her heart, "It seems your mission is not going well."

"Reporting to Senior Sister, the target actually had a Tier 3 top-grade puppet, and it had a restraining effect on our techniques, so we were unable to intercept and kill the enemy."

Let alone intercepting them, if they hadn't run fast, they might have been buried forever.

Three days later, at noon.

Ji An looked up at the sky, and the calamity clouds slowly dissipated.

The third wave of Chaos Divine Lightning has ended; next up is Purple Heaven Divine Lightning.

The enemy was very strong, and he could sense that the twenty-one bursts of Chaos Divine Lightning had not caused him much damage.

At this moment, he wished the enemy would be annihilated in the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, but he also knew that the enemy had a high probability of breaking through his realm and reaching the Nascent Soul level.

It is a huge irony that the first person to break through to the Nascent Soul realm in the territory opened up by cultivators was actually a demonic cultivator who had usurped the position.

A suffocating atmosphere filled the air. Even from such a distance, Ji An felt as if a thousand pounds were pressing down on him, making it difficult to breathe.

Suddenly, a purple lightning bolt, different from the tribulation clouds, appeared from the void. Ji An's eyes stung violently, and he reflexively closed them.

Tears streamed down his face, and it took him a while to recover.

The distance was shrouded in mist, the light absorbed, and within it seemed to be a hazy, indistinct moonlight. Ethereal singing drifted from the heavens, captivating all who heard it.

Ji An couldn't help but want to get closer to the misty place, but as he rode the clouds, he heard a mournful cry and became alert.

"The Nascent Soul Dharma Form has finally been achieved!"

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The emergence of a Nascent Soul startled even ghosts and gods. Even a demonic cultivator who could break through his realm was worthy of respect. Whether they would fight to the death if they met again in the future was another matter.

At this moment, the stone tortoise emerged from the void, merged into his skin, and traveled through his immortal meridians back to his dantian.

He rode the plain-colored cloud banner and flew away without looking back.

The news that the demonic cultivator has successfully transcended the tribulation and reached the Nascent Soul realm must be spread to every corner of the Western Continent as soon as possible.

A faint trace of silver light was left in the sunlight. As Ji An activated his magic weapon, he focused his mind on his dantian and connected with the stone tortoise to check his gains.

[Master: Ji An]

[Tao Yun: Gold 1275.3, Water 1236.5, Wood 1239.4, Fire 1206.1, Earth 1529.7]

“The adventure is worth it,” Ji An chuckled softly, and flew away even more vigorously.

He gained approximately five thousand points of Daoist essence, equivalent to about twenty years' worth of gains in the Central Continent.

Before returning, he was worried that there weren't enough cultivators in the Western Continent who had broken through to the Golden Core realm. Little did he expect that this was a great gift from what was clearly a future enemy.

The news that Yuanhe Mountain had become a stronghold of demonic cultivators spread rapidly throughout the Western Continent. The forces in the outer areas of Yuanhe Mountain investigated and found that the sect that had once closed its gates had indeed reopened.

The disciples rode the black wind, shuttling between the mountains.

The forces in these neighboring areas immediately panicked and moved away a large number of their core members, leaving only the elderly and weak to guard the spiritual veins.

At the gates of the Golden Spirit Sect, the Chaoyang Peak sounded an alarm.

Inside the Wuji Hall, Golden Core cultivators gathered in large numbers.

Master Yuxiao laughed and said:

"If Junior Brother Haoran comes back with us, all the Golden Core cultivators in the sect will be together."

Here, I congratulate Junior Brother Ji on breaking through to the sixth level of the Golden Core stage, becoming the most powerful cultivator in the sect.

"Congratulations!" Everyone offered their blessings.

Ji An returned the greeting with a cupped hand, saying, "Congratulations to you too."

Han Yan asked eagerly, "Senior brother, I heard that you have obtained the follow-up cultivation method from the Five Elements Sect ruins. I wonder what level you will be able to cultivate to?"

Most people in the hall subconsciously held their breath, their eyes fixed intently on Ji An, for this concerned the level to which the sect's inheritance could reach.

Ji An didn't keep them in suspense and said in a deep voice:
"The gains were enormous. I obtained the most essential inheritance of the Five Elements Sect, which was the last treasure left behind by this Nascent Soul sect."

The Five Elements Reincarnation Scripture I brought back can raise one's level to the late Nascent Soul stage.
