Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 343 Stay or Go
The Yuanxin Technique, evolved from the Yuanxin Seal of the Nine Jade Seals, is a top-tier cultivation method in this world. The magical power cultivated from it is powerful and profound, and one's essence, energy, and spirit steadily increase with the advancement of one's cultivation realm.

Among those of the same level, very few are stronger than those who have cultivated this skill.

After advancing to the late stage of the Dao Foundation stage, true essence and magical power surged like waves, circulating repeatedly within the body.

Every breath can draw upon the power of heaven and earth.

At this moment, Zhu Ju was able to clearly perceive his own power.

Especially when sitting cross-legged at the core of the sect's grand formation, manipulating the second-tier formation, one can draw upon the vast energy of the hundred-mile-long earth veins with a mere thought. This feeling of complete control is almost addictive.

But it was precisely because he became stronger that he became even more aware of the gap between himself and the Golden Core stage.

The second-order formation was in operation, like a colossal creature, its breath merging with the vital energy within a hundred miles.

The formation evolved, and the vast primordial energy instantly transformed into a spell that destroyed everything.

From the perspective of controllable energy alone, the power of a second-order formation far surpasses that of a Golden Core Grandmaster.

But in fact.

The process by which the formation transforms primordial energy into magic is not considered fast by him at present.

The energy was gathering, but the spell had not yet taken shape when it was forcibly interrupted by the sword energy and thunderous sound.

Even counter-array formations!

Before a Golden Core Grandmaster, even a second-tier formation, though powerful, is nothing more than a bloated and enormous lamb to the slaughter.

If you want to.

There are plenty of ways to solve this!
"Uncle Master."

Seeing Zhu Ju's gloomy expression, Shui Qianning asked in a low voice:
"Have you found that golden elixir?"

"No." Zhu Ju shook his head.
"If a Golden Core Grandmaster wants to hide, the Mingxu Sect's formations cannot detect him."

"Second-order formation..."

"It can't even trap a Golden Core cultivator."

"What should we do then?" Shui Qianning's face turned deathly pale.

"We can't just sit here and wait to die, can we?"

"There's no need to panic," Liu Huang'er said coldly.
"We have already informed the Immortal Alliance that a demonic Golden Core cultivator intends to harm our sect. I do not believe the Immortal Alliance can sit idly by and do nothing."

Even if we don't care...

"At worst, I'll just die!"

"Why say discouraging things?" Xi Chen smiled wryly.
"Although the Golden Core cultivators are strong, we are not weak either. We only need to stall for time, and the seniors of the Immortal Alliance will come to our rescue."

Zhu Ju shook his head slightly.

He originally thought so too, but after advancing to the late stage of the Dao Foundation, he realized it was just a joke.

No wonder Pei Jingque chose to go into seclusion to break through without hesitation, even though he knew the chances of success were slim.

To know.

At that time, she and Zhu Ju joined forces and easily killed two pseudo-core cultivators.

Even so, she still didn't think she had any chance of resisting the Golden Core.

"Senior sister has made her decision."

Zhu Ju spoke:
"She went into seclusion to break through to the Golden Core realm. If she succeeds, that's fine. If she fails, her disciples will scatter and flee. Foundation Establishment cultivators don't need to care about Qi Refining disciples. Everyone should choose a direction and run away with all their might."

"Although the Golden Core Grandmasters are strong, the Mingxu Sect has more than two thousand disciples. Some of them will surely be able to escape."

"And I, sitting in charge of this control formation, will buy you time."

"What?" Xi Chen's face turned pale.
"Why is this so?"

"Without Nascent Soul cultivators emerging, Golden Core masters represent the pinnacle of cultivation in this world; their power far surpasses our imagination," Zhu Ju said.
"Just remember, when the time comes, do everything you can to escape, and never entertain the thought of fighting back."

"Ok?"

Before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed:
"Golden elixir!"

Within the perception range of the Mingxu Sect's array, a terrifying aura was approaching at an alarming speed.

That aura was firmly connected to the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and even instantly seized a portion of the formation's ability to control primordial energy.

Zhu Ju's body tensed, and he was about to activate the formation to fight back when his movements subtly paused:
"It is Senior Hong from the Xuanqing Sect."

"go!"

"Go out and greet them."

Everyone's faces lit up with ecstatic joy.

With a Golden Core Grandmaster in charge, the demonic cultivators will certainly not dare to invade, and the Mingxu Sect will be able to escape this calamity.

There's help now!
…………

Wearing a golden robe, Hong Kan descended from the sky with his hands behind his back, like a golden deity.

The aura of the Golden Core cultivator was not concealed, and every move he made caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to surge like a tide.

He was not traveling alone this time.

Behind him followed more than ten disciples of the Hundred Flowers Sect, including Dong Yuelan. However, their Golden Core auras were so conspicuous that people subconsciously ignored the presence of the others.

On the square.

Zhu Ju led a group of Daoist cultivators from the Mingxu Sect to greet them respectfully.

"Zhu Ju of the Mingxu Sect greets Senior Hong!"

"Liu Huang'er..."

"Xi Chen!"

"I've met senior!"

"Hmm." Hong Kan nodded, his gaze lingering briefly on Zhu Ju and Xi Chen before he strode towards the main hall.

"Where are the Taira clan's things?"

"At this."

Zhu Ju followed closely behind, taking out Ping Daochuan's storage bag:

"Fellow Daoist Ping died at the hands of a demonic witch. My senior sister and I were powerless to help, which is very regrettable."

“Heh…” Hong Kan chuckled, raised his hand to pick up the storage bag, took out the Azure Light Sword from it, and tossed it in his hand.

"This Azure Sword originally belonged to the Xuanqing Sect, but was later given to the Ping family. It has been a hundred years since we last saw it."

Zhu Ju lowered his head.

Apart from the third-tier demon core, he did not touch anything in his storage bag, including this mid-grade magic weapon.

"We won't ask you for that witch's possession."

Hong Kan sat down in the seat that belonged to the Mingxu Sect Master in the center of the main hall and asked:
Where is Pei Jingque?

"Replying to Senior." Zhu Ju bowed.
"The sect leader is seriously injured and still unconscious. The affairs of the Mingxu Sect will be managed by this junior."

"Yes." Hong Kan nodded.
"Seriously injured..."

"In this demonic calamity, the Mingxu Sect has repeatedly achieved merits, especially Sect Master Pei's performance, which is particularly remarkable."

"As a form of recognition, a group of disciples from the Mingxu Sect are granted special permission to enter the Xuanqing Sect's secret realm for training."

?

Zhu Ju looked up, his face showing confusion. What was the point of bringing this up now?

Unidentified Golden Core cultivators have appeared near the Mingxu Sect. Is the Immortal Alliance not here to resolve this matter?

"That secret realm is extremely special; even Foundation Establishment cultivators can improve their cultivation by entering it." Hong Kan stroked his beard, then suddenly changed the subject:
“Zhu Ju”.

What is your view on the current situation between the righteous and the demonic forces?

"This..." Zhu Ju hesitated for a moment and said:
"The demonic path is powerful, and the righteous path is not thriving. Please forgive my limited knowledge, I cannot see any chance of victory."

"Haha..." Hong Kan laughed loudly:
"You better behave!"

He asked many people, and most of them followed his lead and praised the Xuanqing Sect's achievements.

By the way, I'll also belittle the Demonic Path to show my loyalty.

"The Six Paths Demon Lord is a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, while the two Nascent Soul cultivators of the righteous path are both early-Nascent Soul cultivators. Even if they join forces, they are no match for that demon."

Hong Kan sighed:

"Back when Master Miaoyan of the Tianyu Sect was still alive, the three Nascent Soul cultivators could barely hold their own, and now they are even less capable."

"Fortunately, the world has changed, so Nascent Soul cultivators cannot often take action, otherwise the righteous immortal alliance would have been in dire straits long ago."

Everyone's heart sank.

Those who cultivate possess great power concentrated within themselves, and high-level battles can determine the fate of those below them.

According to Hong Kan, as long as the Six Paths Demon Lord does not die, wouldn't the righteous path have no chance to turn the tide?

But a Nascent Soul cultivator can live for two thousand years!

The Six Paths Demon Lord seems to be less than a thousand years old. If he were to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, wouldn't the righteous path have no chance of ever rising again?

"senior."

Seeing that his expression was normal and he didn't seem anxious about it, Zhu Ju tentatively asked:

"Does the Immortal Alliance have a countermeasure?"

"You could say it exists, or you could say it doesn't," Hong Kan said with a faint smile.
"The demonic path has been powerful for nearly two hundred years. During these two hundred years, the six sects of the demonic path have produced many outstanding talents, many of whom have advanced to the Golden Core stage. The number of Golden Core Grandmasters is almost twice that of the righteous immortal alliance."

"Do you know why the Immortal Alliance was able to withstand the Demonic Golden Core?"

"Because the righteous path's Golden Core cultivators have a profound foundation and a high level of cultivation, while the demonic path's Golden Core cultivators are formed quickly, their combat power is slightly weaker." Zhu Ju answered, stating what he knew. Seeing the other party's noncommittal expression, he frowned and said:
"Isn't it right?"

"Of course not." Hong Kan sneered.
"Once a golden pill is swallowed, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens. How could such an existence have an unstable foundation?"

"The real reason is..."

"The six sects of the demonic path have almost no late-stage Golden Core cultivators!"

Ok?
Zhu Ju raised an eyebrow.

"That's exactly right." Hong Kan squinted.
"Although the Six Paths Demon Lord is the number one demonic cultivator, he cannot tolerate any demonic cultivator who has the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage."

"So that's how it is!" Zhu Ju seemed to be deep in thought.
"Therefore, the reason why the six sects of the demonic path serve the Six Paths Demon Lord now is simply because they are powerless to resist, and because they can gain benefits by following him. In reality, the Golden Core cultivators of the demonic path are not loyal to him."

"on the contrary……"

"The existence of the Six Paths Demon Lord makes it difficult for them to advance further, because they will be suppressed."

“Not bad.” Hong Kan nodded and said:
"so……"

"Who do you plan to send to the Xuanqing Sect's secret realm? The Mingxu Sect has a total of ten slots this time."

*
*
*
Hong Kan gave Zhu Ju three days to consider.

Three days later.

He will lead ten people away from Mingxu Sect to seek possible opportunities in the secret realm of Xuanqing Sect.

"Senior brother."

After settling Hong Kan in, Liu Huang'er, whose pregnancy was already quite obvious, returned to the main hall and asked in confusion:
"What exactly does Senior Hong mean by saying this and that? He's not here to help us solve our problems?"

If the other party hadn't been a Golden Core Grandmaster, she probably would have thought Hong Kan was senile and talking nonsense.

Every sentence misses the point, leaving the listener completely confused.

"It's very simple," Zhu Ju sighed.
"What Senior Hong means is that the Immortal Alliance also knows that it is no match for the Six Paths Demon Lord, so it reached some kind of agreement with the Six Demonic Sects to fight against the Six Paths Demon Lord together. He is also aware of the Ping family's collusion with the Huan Sect."

"Not just the Taira clan!"

"Perhaps the Xuanqing Sect is also colluding with the Six Paths of the Demonic Sect."

?

Liu Huang'er was taken aback.

"so……"

Shui Qianning asked in surprise:
"He knows perfectly well that there might be demonic golden cores that could be detrimental to our Mingxu Sect, yet he doesn't intend to intervene?"

"Not really." Zhu Ju shrugged.

"Isn't it supposed to take ten people with it?"

"This is outrageous!" Xi Chen couldn't help but shout angrily.

"How much has the Mingxu Sect paid for the righteous path over the years? In its heyday, the Mingxu Sect was not much worse than the Xuanqing Sect. Now that we have fallen to this state, don't they... don't they bear any responsibility?"

Emperor Mingxu moved from the Great Zhou Dynasty to the Ten Thousand Mountains, and then from the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains to his present location.

They migrated south.

Casualties along the way!
For Mingxuzong, the road to the south was paved with the corpses of his predecessors.

now.

They were actually abandoned by the Immortal Alliance!
How can such actions not make people feel cold and disheartened?
"Ten places."

Zhu Ju's expression remained unchanged:

“Xi Chen, you and your sister Xi Youyue account for two of them.”

"Master!" Xi Chen looked up:
"This disciple is willing to live and die with the sect!"

In recent days, he has come to regard himself as a member of the Mingxu Sect and has developed a sense of belonging.

Now they are united in their hatred of the enemy.

"You are exceptionally talented, and your advancement to the Foundation Establishment stage has even triggered extraordinary phenomena. You are destined to become a Golden Core cultivator in the future." Zhu Ju shook his head.
"As long as you live, the Mingxu Sect's legacy will not perish. Besides, you should also think about your sister."

"She's still young, she shouldn't die."

"Master." Xi Chen gritted his teeth:
"I believe Youyue will be just like me, willing to die for the sect."

"Heh..." Zhu Ju shook his head slightly and looked at Liu Huang'er:
"Junior sister, you are pregnant..."

"Senior brother, there's no need for further words." Liu Huang'er frowned.

"Qingfeng, the child in my womb, and I will not go anywhere. However, you, Senior Brother, possess the divine power of sword qi and thunderous sound. The true target of Xuanqing Sect should be you and Junior Nephew Xi."

"You should leave."

The Immortal Alliance's higher-ups must already know of Zhu Ju's strength, and the extraordinary phenomena that appeared when Xi Chen advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage could not be hidden from those who were interested.

The Immortal Alliance needs someone.

The main focus is still on Xi Chen and Zhu Ju.

After all, they were two Golden Core seed cultivators; losing them would be too wasteful.
