Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 437 Is she going to the Sword Tomb?
Let alone Foundation Establishment or Golden Core cultivators, even Nascent Soul cultivators who rashly venture in will face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death!
Xu Qinghan is currently only in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

She's going to the Sword Tomb?!

"Qinghan, you mustn't!" An elder who was on good terms with Xu Qinghan's master immediately spoke up to stop her, "The Sword Tomb is too dangerous! You..."

“Elder,” Xu Qinghan interrupted softly, her tone carrying an unprecedented resolve, “This disciple’s mind is made up.”

"This disciple knows what he is doing."

Her gaze returned to the direction of the back mountain.

Although she couldn't see the cave from there, she could almost feel the aura that was quiet yet contained boundless power.

“I can’t always be watching.”

"I'm going to catch up too."

Even if I can only see his back.

She silently repeated these words to herself.

But that resolute will inspired everyone present.

Li Fugui gave Xu Qinghan a deep look.

He saw the flames burning in those eyes!

That is a flame born from the brink of death!
That's a flame that can't be lived without madness!
How similar he is to someone from back then!

There was silence for a long time.

Li Fugui nodded slowly: "Okay!"

"Since you have made up your mind, I will grant your request!"

"The sect will provide you with all necessary support!"

"But life and death are left to fate!"

"Disciple understands!"

Xu Qinghan bowed deeply.

When she got up again, her figure had already disappeared at the entrance of the main hall.

All that remained was the awe and silence of the hall.

And that resolute spirit of "I will go even if there are thousands of people against me" lingered in the air for a long time.

Deep within the battlefield of the Fallen Heaven.

"boom!!!"

The remnant of a long-dead star suddenly exploded!
Countless pebbles shot out in all directions like a meteor shower!

A slightly disheveled figure burst out from the center of the explosion!
It's flying!

At this moment, he was covered in blood, his clothes were tattered, and his breathing was somewhat disordered.

But his eyes were surprisingly bright!

It was filled with madness, excitement, and an almost obsessive determination!

"Hahaha! So good! So good!"

He soared into the sky and roared, his voice carrying far across the desolate starry sky.

Just now, he encountered a void behemoth lurking among the wreckage of a star!

That behemoth's strength was comparable to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm!
Their physical bodies are incredibly powerful!

Yu Kong used all his trump cards, even burning some of his life essence, to finally kill him!

Although a considerable price was paid, the gains were equally enormous!

The crystal core of that void behemoth contained extremely pure spatial power!
More importantly, after slaying the giant beast, Yu Kong discovered a piece of "star marrow" the size of a human head at the core of the star's remains!
Star Essence!

That's the essence that stars can only possibly be born from billions of years of evolution!
It has unimaginable benefits for cultivating the physical body and stabilizing one's realm!
"Senior was right after all!"

"This Heavenly Meteor Battlefield is indeed full of opportunities!"

"As long as you're strong enough! As long as you dare to fight!"

A fanatical light gleamed in Yu Kong's eyes.

He seemed to see the hope of following in the footsteps of that mysterious predecessor!
He didn't stop at all.

After swallowing a few healing pills to stabilize his injuries, he immediately determined his direction and flew deeper into the area once again!
He knew this was just the beginning!
There must be even greater dangers ahead!
But there will also be even greater opportunities!

In order to follow that godlike figure!

So that one day I can truly stand behind my predecessors!

He was fearless!

His figure was small, yet incredibly resolute!
Like a star rising against the current, it pierces through this cold, desolate, yet infinitely possible ancient battlefield!
Unknown lands, the realm of darkness.

The enormous shadow, composed of countless twisted, wailing limbs and faces, still silently floated in the endless darkness.

The previously hollowed-out gray "face" doesn't seem to have had much of an impact on it.

But some invisible will has already spread like a spider web.

Penetrating layers of boundaries.

Transcending endless nothingness.

It silently infiltrated the universe it sensed, a universe imbued with the aura of "return to nothingness".

"There is more than one seed."

An ancient, hoarse, and cold voice whispered once more.

“Those self-proclaimed ‘watchmen’ think they can do nothing because we are asleep.”

"hehe."

"Little did they know that the seeds of pollution had already been sown."

"The door will open sooner or later."

“A new ‘food’ is being conceived.”

With this whisper, in another galaxy extremely far from the southern celestial universe.

On a seemingly ordinary cultivation star.

An elderly man in the Nascent Soul stage who was in seclusion suddenly opened his eyes!
A flicker of struggle and pain flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a cold gray.

"Is the time right?"

The old man muttered to himself, a strange smile playing on his lips.

His aura changed at that moment.

It became cold, obscure, and filled with an unsettling sense of distortion.

Meanwhile, in another, more prosperous cultivation world...

A prodigy hailed as a once-in-a-millennium genius is receiving guidance from the sect's elders.

The boy was exceptionally gifted and possessed remarkable comprehension.

Every move he made was perfectly natural, drawing continuous praise from those around him.

But at a certain moment, the boy's movements paused slightly.

A barely perceptible shadow of darkness seemed to flicker deep within his eyes.
Although it was only a fleeting moment, the trajectory of his sword strike was slightly deviated.

With an indescribable and inexplicable sense of "destruction," similar scenes are quietly unfolding in different corners of this vast universe.

Whether strong or weak.

Sometimes hidden, sometimes visible.

Like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, it may seem insignificant, but the ripples that spread outwards are destined to one day create a monstrous wave!
Darkness has never gone away.

It is simply waiting, waiting for the right moment to drag everything into eternal damnation!

Time slowly slipped away amidst this silent undercurrent.

For ordinary people, it might take years or decades.

For cultivators, it might be a short period of seclusion.

Kao Shan Zong is undergoing a difficult reconstruction.

Xu Qinghan struggles and seeks answers in the Sword Tomb.

Yu Kong fought and grew stronger on the edge of the Heavenly Meteor Battlefield.

Deep within the earth's veins, in the center of that desolate lake.

Xu Ran's figure remained standing still.

Like an ancient reef.

Regardless of the turbulent changes in the outside world.

He remained unmoved, except for the almost invisible gray mark between his eyebrows.

It flickers occasionally.

As if signaling the accumulation and settling of some kind of power, the wind stopped. But the story continues to unfold in a grander and more bizarre way.

Yu Kong's figure, like an insignificant streak of light, tore through the ancient silence of the Heavenly Meteor Battlefield.

He flew deeper into the distance.

The surrounding environment began to change noticeably.

It is no longer the simple desolation and fragmentation of before.

The air was no longer filled with the mere stench of blood and malevolent energy.

Instead, it exudes a more ancient, desolate, and chilling aura!

It was as if the lingering thoughts of countless fallen ancient gods and demons were whispering, as if an indescribable being was gazing into the cold void!
The sky is no longer just a single shade of gray.

Instead, it presents a strange, distorted color.

Like an overturned palette, countless shattered fragments of laws intertwine and collide here, forming a bizarre and wondrous spectacle.

Occasionally, spatial rifts would flash by like black lightning, and the aura emanating from them was enough to shatter the minds of ordinary cultivators seeking enlightenment!
The earth is no longer flat.

The enormous ravine was as if it had been cleaved open by a giant axe of a god, and its bottom was unfathomable.

The towering mountains were not made of rock, but were formed from the bones of some unknown behemoth, exuding an astonishing aura!
He even saw a river that had long since dried up while flying through the air.

The riverbed was covered with crystals that shimmered with various colors of light.

Those were no ordinary spirit stones.

Rather, it is the condensed entity of laws!
Each one contains unimaginable energy and Taoist essence!

"The River of Laws".

Yu Kong gasped, his eyes burning with even greater fervor!
He had heard legends that incredible miracles existed in the core area of ​​the Heavenly Meteor Battlefield!
A place where laws are manifested!
Fragments of the Great Dao have been lost!
There are even rumors that it is possible to find the "key" to a higher realm!
This dried-up River of Laws undoubtedly confirms these legends!

Although the river has dried up.

But the value of these remaining law crystals alone is immeasurable!

Even if one can only grasp a tiny bit of the essence here, it will be of immeasurable benefit!

However, Yu Kong did not pounce on him immediately.

He forcibly suppressed the greed in his heart.

His intuition was frantically warning him!

A terrifying killing intent permeates this seemingly fertile riverbed!
That killing intent was invisible and intangible, yet it was everywhere!
It seemed to emanate from the crystals themselves, or perhaps it was some kind of will left over from this world.

"Danger and opportunity coexist."

"The more alluring a place is, the more deadly a trap it often hides."

Yu Kong took a deep breath, his eyes becoming extremely solemn.

He recalled the calm yet infinitely majestic gaze of that mysterious senior.

The predecessors must have also set foot in similar or even more dangerous places!

How did he get there?

Is it about crushing everything with absolute power?
Or should we rely on our exceptional wisdom and insight to avoid risks?

Yu Kong didn't know.

But he knew he had to make a choice!

It is a risky move to seize the opportunity before us.

Or should we temporarily retreat and seek a more secure path?
His gaze swept over the law crystal that shimmered with an alluring light.

It eventually landed at the end of the riverbed.

There seemed to be some kind of more powerful energy fluctuation there.

It subtly exudes an aura that is both incongruous with and perfectly suited to this battlefield.

The scent felt somewhat familiar to him.

"That is……"

Yu Kong's pupils contracted slightly!
He strained his eyes to penetrate the layers of energy interference.

Finally, he saw it clearly.

Near the end of that dried-up riverbed, in the shadow of a massive mountain of skeletons.

A tattered suit of armor lay quietly inside!

The armor was dark gold in color, and it was covered with marks from being cleaved by swords and axes, and even directly pierced by terrifying energy!

The erosion of countless years has robbed it of its former luster.

It appears ancient and weathered, but even in its dilapidated state, it still exudes an indescribable sense of power!

An overbearing aura that seemed capable of suppressing all heavens and sweeping across all realms!

What shocked Yu Kong even more was
He sensed something extremely faint yet incredibly clear on the armor.

The aura of that mysterious senior!
Although extremely faint, it seemed to be just a trace that the predecessor had once come into contact with or left behind.

But it's definitely not wrong!

That unique feeling of looking down on all living beings and observing the cycle of birth and death is something Yu Kong will never forget!
"Senior, have you been here before?"

"Could this armor be related to your senior?"

In an instant, a monstrous wave surged in Yu Kong's heart!

His previous greed for the Law Crystals was instantly forgotten!
All he could see was that tattered, dark gold armor!

His breathing became rapid, and his blood felt like it was on fire!
Find clues related to your predecessors.

This is more important than any opportunity!
He no longer hesitated!
"Wealth is found in danger!"

"What is a little danger compared to following in the footsteps of our predecessors!"

A resolute glint flashed in Yu Kong's eyes!
He did not step directly onto the seemingly calm but actually treacherous riverbed.

Instead, they chose to take a detour!
He carefully pressed himself against the broken rocks at the edge of the riverbed.

He suppressed his aura and slowed his speed to the extreme, like the most cautious hunter, approaching the dark gold armor step by step.

With each step he took, he could feel the oppressive, invisible killing intent emanating from the direction of the riverbed!

It was as if countless cold eyes were watching him, as if any slight movement on his part would bring about his annihilation!
Sweat beaded on his forehead, but his gaze grew ever more resolute!
The distance is gradually decreasing.

One hundred feet!

Fifty feet!
Thirty feet!
Just as he was flying, he was less than ten feet away from the armor!
The moment before stepping into the shadow of that mountain of bones!
A sudden change occurred!

boom! ! !
An indescribable, terrifying will suddenly erupted from the dried-up riverbed!

That will was cold, brutal, and filled with an aura of destruction and death!

It was as if it were the embodiment of all the negative emotions and bloodlust of this ancient battlefield!
"Trespassers will be killed!!!"

A grand yet icy voice resounded directly into the depths of Yu Kong's soul!

puff!
As if struck by a heavy blow, Yu Kong was caught in the air!

He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood!

His face turned deathly pale instantly, as if his soul was being torn apart!

This is just the test of willpower!

next moment.

The entire dried-up riverbed shook!

The law crystals that had been lying quietly suddenly burst into dazzling light!
Countless fragments of laws were activated!
Intertwined into a vast net of death that covers the heavens and the earth!

It descended upon Yu Kong from above!

The power contained within that giant net was enough to instantly annihilate any being below the level of Dao Inquiry!
Even ordinary beginners would find it difficult to withstand!

"not good!"

Even the dead are terrified when they fly through the air!

He didn't have time to think; in this life-or-death moment, he unleashed all his potential!

The spiritual energy within his body, which had only recently recovered, was circulating wildly!
Make a hand gesture!

"Divine Armor!"

A low roar!
A phantom armor formed from his own essence, energy, and spirit instantly appeared on his body!
This is his trump card for saving his life!
But he knew that wasn't enough!
Far from enough!

Before that world-destroying net of laws, his Divine Armor was as fragile as paper!

"Fight!"

A madness flashed in Yu Kong's eyes!

He slammed his hand on the storage bag!

A streak of light flew out!
