Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 323 Nascent Soul Demise (Bonus Chapter for 4,000 Monthly Tickets!!!)
Three months later.

A flying boat silently passed through the thick clouds on the horizon.

Dong Yuelan sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat, looking at the surroundings ahead with a complex expression on her face.

Although the journey back was not entirely smooth, it was generally without any danger.

"came back!"

"pity……"

"I'm the only one who came back."

They were supposed to receive the sect's cultivators returning, but one person went and one person came back.

If it weren't for good luck, he might not have been able to come back.

"Sister Dong." Liu Huang'er walked closer.

"The situation at the front is dire; the Immortal Alliance cultivators have suffered heavy losses, even Golden Core Grandmasters have perished, and you..."

"I am sorry for your loss."

“Not bad.” Zhai Qingfeng nodded in agreement.

"Fellow Daoist Dong has done his best, and he almost fell into a trap. No one can say anything if he returns to his sect."

"I just regret..." Dong Yuelan shook her head and sighed:

"Junior Sister Xiao's talent is outstanding, far surpassing mine. If I could, I would rather get hurt myself."

"what?"

Halfway through her sentence, she raised an eyebrow, watching a streak of light rise from the distant mountain peak:
"It's Fellow Daoist Qian from the Immortal Seeking Sect. What's he doing in such a panic?"

"I'll ask."

With a sway, she transformed into a streak of seven-colored light and rushed forward.

Inside the flying boat cabin.

Zhu Ju sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, holding a three-foot-long sword in one hand, his consciousness already drawn into an illusion.

"Roar!"

A phantom white tiger roared angrily to the sky.

The howling sound stirred the soul and made Zhu Ju's Ten Directions Killing Sword Intent unstable, showing signs of collapse.

next moment.

A destructive force, seemingly born from the beginning of time, surged forth, slicing through the defenses of the Ten Directions Killing Path with a single strike.

"It's this move again!"

Zhu Ju's heart pounded wildly, and his collapsed sword intent recovered at an incredible speed, creating a sword strike out of thin air.

The White Tiger Killing Sword, controlled by the broken sword intent, suddenly snapped. The two swords collided thousands of times in the void in an instant, with the sounds of metal clashing rising and falling, and dark red and blazing white light flashing and intertwining.

In terms of swordsmanship, Zhu Juyuan is far inferior to Duan Jian in terms of sword intent.

But sword intent is ultimately an inanimate thing; every move it makes is exactly the same, without any flexibility or change.

It's like two people fighting.

One was a strong adult man, and the other was a young child. The child was no match for the strong man no matter what.

But the strong man always started with a straight punch, followed by a side kick. After hundreds or thousands of times, even the weakest boy could always avoid this combo.

The same applies to Zhu Ju.

He was no match for the sword intent of the Broken Sword, but through countless exchanges, he had come to understand the opponent's style.

How to dodge, when to counterattack...

As long as the right opportunity is seized, even if his strength is relatively weak, he can still wear down the sword intent.

of course.

This is assuming the opponent doesn't use any new moves.

Recently, a white tiger phantom appeared, causing Zhu Ju, who had been full of hope, to plummet into despair.

"Ok!"

With a muffled groan, Zhu Ju slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with weariness. He then took out a pill and swallowed it.

'It seems that completely erasing the broken sword's intent won't be achieved overnight; there's still a long road ahead.'

'but……'

'This isn't necessarily a bad thing for me. Having sword intent at the Golden Core stage to practice with will allow my swordsmanship to improve by leaps and bounds.'

"Brother Zhu!"

Liu Huang'er's voice came from outside:
"Could you come out for a moment?"

"Oh!" Zhu Ju opened his eyes:
"Come here."

…………

"what?"

Zhu Ju looked astonished:

"Master Miaoyan of the Tianyu Sect is dead?"

"Died at the hands of the Six Paths Demon Lord?"

The sudden news caused Zhu Ju's expression to change drastically, and the others also looked uneasy.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators of the righteous path are the pillars of the Immortal Alliance.

It was because of them that the righteous cultivators, despite their constant defeats, still held onto a glimmer of hope.

As long as the three Nascent Soul cultivators kill the Six Paths Demon Lords, the demonic path will collapse, and the battle situation will change.

result……

"it is true."

Dong Yuelan's expression was solemn as she said:
"The three Nascent Soul cultivators failed to kill the Six Paths Demon Lord, but they did manage to seriously injure him, which led to the demonic forces' counterattack and retaliation on the front lines."

"but……"

"No one expected that the heavily injured Six Paths Demon Lord would not return to the Great Zhou to recuperate, but instead infiltrated the Tianyu Sect, possessed the body of a late-stage Dao Foundation cultivator, and suddenly launched a sneak attack on Master Miaoyan."

"It is said that the Six Paths Demon Lord self-destructed the innate spiritual weapon, the Seven Killing White Bone Sword, severely injuring True Person Miaoyan on the spot. Afterwards, he even attempted to use a secret technique to seize True Person Miaoyan's nascent soul, which led to the True Person self-destructing his nascent soul..."

"The Tianyu Sect's headquarters is now in a complete mess, and two Golden Core Grandmasters have also perished on the spot!"

"We didn't believe it at first either," Zhai Qingfeng said with a bitter expression.

"I learned this news from Fellow Daoist Qian of the Immortal Seeking Sect, and later I met several other fellow Daoists..."

"I'm afraid it's true!"

"Yes." Liu Huang'er's eyes were filled with panic.

"Even the three Nascent Soul cultivators working together couldn't defeat the Six Paths Demon Lord, and now one of them has been killed..."

"How can the Righteous Immortal Alliance withstand that demon?"

Zhu Ju's eyes darkened.

With three Nascent Soul cultivators present, even if the Six Paths Demon Lord wanted to destroy the Immortal Alliance, he would have to be somewhat hesitant.

Now only two remain...

"Is the Six Paths Demon Lord injured?"

He spoke slowly:
"Although the Demon Lord is strong, he attacked Master Miaoyan while heavily injured, and in the territory of the Tianyu Sect, he probably won't gain any advantage, right?"

As one of the two top immortal sects of the righteous path, the Tianyu Sect must have a fourth-order formation at its headquarters.

A fourth-order formation, if used at full power, could potentially trap and kill a Nascent Soul cultivator.

This is also why the Six Paths Demon Lord has not yet taken action against the Xuanqing Sect and the Tianyu Sect.

Now that the Six Paths Demon Lord has killed Master Miaoyan on Tianyu Sect's own territory, it's impossible that he suffered no injuries.

"I don't know."

Dong Yuelan's face was gloomy:
"Right now, all sorts of rumors are flying around, some true and some false. Some say the Six Paths Demon Lord is dead, others say the core disciples of the Heavenly Yu Sect have all hidden in secret realms and announced a seclusion, etc..."

"The only thing that is certain is that Master Miaoyan has already perished."

"When did this happen?" Zhu Ju's eyes flickered.
Has the Immortal Alliance issued a notice?

"About two weeks ago." Dong Yuelan shook her head.

"The Immortal Alliance remains silent. The entire righteous path is in chaos, yet the Immortal Alliance still does nothing."

Zhu Ju walked to the edge of the flying boat and looked down at the streaks of light flying around, which looked like countless headless flies.

How to do?
What can a few people do when they are merely Foundation Establishment cultivators?

Mingxu Sect.

The main hall was deathly silent.

Although Liu Huang'er, Zhai Qingfeng, and others safely withdrew from the front lines, no one in the room could laugh.

"Junior brother."

Pei Jingque took a deep breath and said slowly:

"It's been a hard journey."

"Of course." Zhu Ju cupped his hands in greeting.
"Senior sister, the Hundred Flowers Sect has decided to move south soon and set up its headquarters near the Abyss to avoid the impending demonic calamity."

"what should we do?"

"The Hundred Flowers Sect is divided into inner and outer sects. Only inner sect disciples are considered successors, while outer sect disciples are mostly vassals," Pei Jingque said, rubbing his temples.

"Therefore, the Hundred Flowers Sect doesn't have many true disciples, so relocating to another sect wouldn't be difficult for them."

"But we..."

"Even excluding the servants and men who rely on the sect for their livelihood, the total number is still five or six hundred. If you include them, it's over three thousand. Relocating them won't be that simple." Over three thousand?
Zhu Ju's eyes moved slightly.

I remember when he first returned from the East Sea, the sect had only two thousand people. In less than twenty years, the number has increased so much.

"The situation of the Six Paths Demon Lord is still unclear."

Zhai Qingfeng spoke:
"If the Six Paths Demon Lord is seriously injured, and extremely seriously so, there should be no large-scale invasion by the demonic forces within a hundred years."

"If not..."

"That's not good."

"Not necessarily!" Liu Huang'er shook her head.

"The methods of the demonic path are unpredictable and bizarre. The Six Paths Demon Lord is well-versed in the six sects of the demonic path. Even if he is seriously injured, with the foundation of the Great Zhou, it should not be difficult for him to recover."

"As far as I know, the Blood Demon Sect has an evil technique that can use the flesh and blood of others to heal injuries. As long as there is enough essence and blood, even if someone is left with only a breath, they can recover quickly."

"I mean……"

"Relocate as soon as possible!"

"Heh..." Pei Jingque chuckled softly, a complex expression appearing in his eyes, and slowly spoke:
"This scene looks so familiar."

Liu Huang'er was taken aback at first, then fell silent.

Back then, when faced with the impending invasion of the demonic path, the Mingxu Sect also discussed whether to relocate south.

When will they migrate south?

pity……

Before they could reach a conclusion, the Demonic Sect suddenly invaded, causing heavy losses to the disciples of the three sects.

"What has happened in the past must not be repeated."

Pei Jingque lowered his head and made a decision:

"Move south!"

"There's no need to rush," Zhu Ju said slowly.
"Back then, the Mingxu Sect's headquarters were located on the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains, adjacent to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Demonic cultivators could quickly gather there. Moreover, the Mingxu Sect was in a strategic location and would naturally face a strong attack from the demonic forces. Now it's different..."

The Mingxu Sect is no longer as prominent or important, so the demonic path may not care about it.

Although these words were not spoken aloud, the group understood perfectly.

Pei Jingque smiled bitterly.

"Yes!"

"Back then, the Mingxu Sect still had at least two third-tier formations, unlike us now..."

“Junior brother is right.”

She thought for a moment and said:

"Even if the Demonic Sect launches a full-scale invasion and mobilizes troops from the Great Zhou to this place, it will take at least ten or eight years. However, relocation is still necessary."

"Then let's reserve a spot first!"

"Not bad." Zhai Qingfeng nodded.

"Determine where to move to first, and then move."

…………

The night is deep.

However, even after Zhu Ju returned, people still came to visit him.

"Master!"

"Disciple pays respects to Master!"

The two disciples, Xi Youyue and Gu Rusong, knelt down and paid their respects.

"Get up."

Zhu Ju waved his sleeve lightly, his gaze lingering on Gu Rusong for a moment, a smile appearing on his face:
"Not bad, the nine orifices are now complete."

"It is thanks to Master's excellent teachings and the bestowal of miraculous medicine that I am where I am today," Gu Rusong said, his voice trembling with emotion.
"I will never forget the kindness of my Master."

"Heh..." Zhu Ju chuckled.
"As a mentor, I am not qualified. You are where you are today because you have worked hard enough."

He didn't offer Gu Rusong much guidance, and as for resources...

This was the reward for going to the Void Rift Secret Realm.

"Master." Gu Rusong hesitated for a moment, then knelt down again, raising his storage bag with one hand and saying in a muffled voice:

"This disciple wishes to request a Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Foundation Building Pill?" Zhu Ju's eyes flickered slightly, then he looked away.

"Youyue."

"The disciple is here."

"You can go now. Focus on your cultivation and strive to open your seven orifices and advance to the late stage of the Innate Realm within ten years."

Zhu Judao:
"At that time, you will be the core disciple."

The difference between core disciples and inner disciples is not only in their status, but also in their daily treatment.

There are other benefits too.

Like the Foundation Building Pill.

Once a true disciple opens all nine orifices, the sect will automatically give them a Foundation Establishment Pill; inner disciples, on the other hand, must exchange it for sect contributions.

Just like now.

The easiest and quickest way for Gu Rusong to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill is to exchange it with Zhu Ju.

He is Zhu Ju's disciple, so he can do that.

Other inner disciples, without a Dao Foundation cultivator as their master, can only honestly accumulate sect contributions or earn enough spirit stones to trade.

"Yes." Xi Youyue nodded emphatically.

"This disciple will work hard."

Ever since her brother Xi Chen fell into the secret realm, she seemed to have grown up suddenly, and has been diligently cultivating over the years.

He recently opened his fifth acupoint, which makes him quite strong among the outer disciples.

She also needs to open her seven orifices.

then,

Let's go and take a look at that secret realm!
Even though everyone said Xi Chen was dead, Xi Youyue refused to believe it. Even if she was dead, she would find her brother's remains.

inside the room.

Gu Rusong remained kneeling on the ground, only to find his hands suddenly empty; the storage bag had already been taken by Zhu Ju.

"Sect merit, spirit stones..."

Zhu Ju slowly nodded as he scanned the storage bag with his divine sense:

"With these things, you have more than enough to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill. You've put in a lot of effort."

"Master." Gu Rusong looked up:

"I beg Master to grant my request!"

"Are you sure you want to change it?" Zhu Ju sighed and said:
"You are already over sixty years old and have only just opened your nine orifices. The chances of breaking through now are extremely slim."

“I remember that you had a very good relationship with Liao Huanbai, an inner disciple. You should know about his situation.”

Gu Rusong remained silent.

Liao Huanbai was his good friend. A few years ago, he used his life savings to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill, but he failed to break through and instead suffered from qi and blood deficiency. He died in the back mountain last year. Since he had no descendants, Liao Huanbai was the one who arranged his funeral.

"Master."

After a moment's thought, Gu Rusong kowtowed again, his voice solemn:
"This disciple seeks nothing but the Great Dao."

"Although I am now over sixty years old, I still want to give it a shot, and I will not have any regrets even if I fail."

He knew far too many people who had fallen on the path of life.

Liao Huanbai, Cao Dongjun...

But so what?
Countless people have followed suit, and many haven't even had the chance to take the Foundation Establishment Pill. He has this opportunity, and he will never give it up no matter what.

"Ah."

Zhu Ju nodded slowly, put away the storage bag, and handed over a porcelain bottle:

"This is the Heavenly Rhyme Pill, which can extend the life of a Qi Refining cultivator by twenty years. In terms of value, it is no less than the Foundation Establishment Pill."

Ok?
Gu Rusong looked up in astonishment.

"Given your current age and cultivation level, the chances of breaking through are extremely slim," Zhu Ju gently shook his head, explaining.
"If you want to solidify your foundation and perfect your nine orifices, you'll probably be over seventy years old by then, and there will be no chance of breaking through. That's why you're so eager to get the Foundation Establishment Pill so that you can try to break through when you're just over sixty."

"but……"

"With this pill, your lifespan limit will be increased, and the time to break through to the Dao Foundation will be extended. You can think of yourself as fifty years old, and you will have ten more years to consolidate your cultivation."

Gu Rusong's eyes lit up.

"Give."

Zhu Ju threw out the elixir:

"Come find me again in ten years."

"Peng!"

Gu Rusong banged his head against the ground, causing his scalp to bleed, and his eyes turned red as he excitedly said:

"Thank you Master!"
