Gou Dao Changsheng: Starting from the Reincarnation of a Demon Cultivator

Chapter 730 Disciples Strive for Glory, Their Power Overwhelms Those Who Are Unwilling to Accept It
"Is Fang Yi really willing to give up such a vast legacy as the Ancestral Hall?"

"The position of sect leader still requires balancing the three sects before engaging in war with the Azure Water Pavilion."

Even if Fang Yi manages to secure the position of sect leader and reap considerable benefits, it still can't compare to the thousand-year-old heritage of the Ancestral Hall lineage.
With Zhang Hengyi's lifespan of six hundred years, Fang Yi, unless he condenses his Nascent Soul, cannot live to see Zhang Hengyi pass away...

Without the support of the sect's resources, let alone reaching the Nascent Soul stage, the possibility of even breaking through to the Great True Person realm is practically zero.

Yan Youtai pinched the bridge of his nose, finding it hard to believe. Giving up the interests of the Ancestral Hall lineage was not just empty talk.

Fang Yidan's character is inferior to Zhang Hengyi's, but he is adept at social maneuvering.

With the assistance of Xiao Changce and Xu Qingshe, as long as his cultivation level improves further, he will be able to suppress Zhang Heng, preserve his foundation, and keep his life safe.

When the time comes, a great master will surely step in to mediate.

However, even though the Five Extremes Peak lineage has continued to grow and expand its influence over the past five years.

They never touched the spiritual fields, mines, or caves under Zhang Hengyi's command.

Not a single penny.

Anyone who crossed the line even slightly was ruthlessly punished by Fang Yi without any mercy.

Otherwise, Zhang Hengyi would not have readily agreed with Fang Yi's actions and thus supported him in taking over the leadership of the sect.

Yan Youtai sighed softly. "Even Changsun Jie, the newly appointed chief steward of the Five Extremes Peak, showed no mercy."

The Changsun family was merely vying with the Foundation Establishment cultivators under the Ancestral Master Hall for three acres of second-tier spiritual land.

It would be difficult to shake the alliance between Fang Yi and Zhang Heng, even if Changsun Jie were to plead guilty with a bundle of thorns on his back.

He pondered briefly, then his fingertips changed their hand gestures, causing the Heavenly Secrets Eight Trigrams Plate to spin dully, with the runes of Qian, Kun, Kan, and Li flowing around.

A moment later, his gaze pierced through the layers of mist and landed on the burning dome.

After being defeated by Fang Yi, Xiao Yan secluded himself in his cave and devoted himself to refining the Azure Blood Bodhi Branch, thus avoiding the sharp edge of the Five Extremes Peak.
That won't do!

This concerns the reputation of Tianji Peak; how can Xiao Yan cower and stand idly by?

On the top floor of the Star-Picking Tower, thirty-six beams of spiritual light flowed across the octagonal eaves.

A celestial globe hangs high, with eight trigrams inlaid on its bronze track, which transform into thirty-six bright pearls, symbolizing the celestial phenomena of the heavens.

The twinkling starlight illuminated an elderly man in a dimly lit corner of the room.

"It's still not quite there"
Instead of suppressing Fang Yi, it would be better to properly cultivate disciples, with the support of Tianji Peak's resources.

So what if we lose once?

On a yarrow-woven cushion, its surface covered with fine lines, the aged Tian Quezi, dressed in a plain white robe, gazed at the photographic mirror with a look of disappointment.

“Old man, more than three hundred years have passed, and you still enjoy spying from behind.”

The air was filled with the fragrance of books, and the starlight was shining down. You Xishan held a book and leaned lazily against the armillary sphere.

"The matter has been settled, and three Star-Refining Talismans have been obtained."

Two were given to the lowly maidservants of Biyue Pavilion, and one was given to a direct descendant of the Chen family of Tiandaowu.
All three are seeded cultivators who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage and are ready to form their Core.

Moreover, he possesses profound knowledge and is over 70% confident in condensing true pills, but the quality of his pills is mostly ordinary.

They won't miss this opportunity.

Tian Quezi made a series of hand gestures, and the Zhou Tian Bagua diagram was summoned. Large stars revolved around a mysterious trajectory, and layers of mist were peeled away.

half an hour.

He nodded slightly and took out a decree from his sleeve and struck it out.

"The Biyue Pavilion and Tiandaowu factions have a total of three Core Formation seeds, but their chances of forming a Core are still a bit low, only about 70%."

Later, I will have Fang Yi refine three portions of spiritual medicine to replenish your vital essence. You will then make that trip.

"Tsk, the precious talisman refines magical power and nourishes the true elixir; it is beneficial and harmless."

However, the poison of stirring up people's hearts and minds, arousing the greed of cultivators to conceal the quality of the pills in exchange for greater support from the sect, is a powerful tool.
When it comes to ruthlessness and cunning, you old guys are the best.

You Xishan marveled.

"Red Eyebrows attempted to refine the Hanging Star Refining Talisman, but after several trials, it was still incomplete and inadequate."

These days, concealing the power of elixirs is no difficult task, even from the perspective of a Grand Master.
Two Golden Core cultivators suddenly emerged from the gate. Yu Yuanzi must be thinking that the rise of the Azure Water Pavilion is destined for her generation.

"Stop making sarcastic remarks. Which scoundrel in the Scripture Pavilion deduced this 'Hanging Star Refining Magic Treasure Restriction'?"

Tian Quezi had a half-smile on his face.

Biyue Pavilion has gained two more 'Golden Core' cultivators, and Tiandaowu has gained one more 'Golden Core' cultivator.

With such a great opportunity, the sect's foundation has greatly increased. In order to support the cultivation of the 'Golden Core' and prevent internal strife due to resource shortages, the sect has been able to do so.

Yu Yuanzi and the Chen family of Tiandaowu will inevitably strike first.

after all
Xuan Yang Mountain is suffering from a rare decline in its spiritual foundation. Only one Grand Master remains, and Zhang Heng is the only Master of the Sect Master level.

Huge benefits are being offered to them, and the sect's growth is just around the corner.

Who would refuse?
Biyue Pavilion has been suppressed by Xuanyang Mountain for nearly a thousand years. How could it miss the opportunity to turn the tables?

The leader of Tiandaowu, who wants to break through to the Great True Person level, would not miss the profound resources of Xuanyang Mountain.

You Xishan's lips curled slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. "I'm the only one in the sect who can deduce the treasure's restrictions, old man, stop making veiled accusations."

After two hundred years of living in anonymity, today is finally the day we can go all out.

"yes.
After a thousand years of hard work and countless plans, this day has finally arrived.

Everything is ready, except for the east wind.

A look of reminiscence appeared in Tian Quezi's eyes, and he sighed softly.

For the sake of the grand plan of Xuanyang Mountain, the master was trapped in the Jianyang Secret Realm, where he was subjected to soul-searching by the Great Master of the Fire Worship Sect.

Fellow disciples sealed their seven orifices, relied on spiritual plants, and endured the pain of having their tendons and marrow pulled out, all for the sake of gaining more profound knowledge as a Great True Person.

Gaining even one more point in crucial moments can significantly improve your chances of winning.
For the past two hundred years, during which my disciple was at the height of his power and influence, he has lived in anonymity, never daring to slacken in the slightest.
now
All that remains is for the Azure Water Pavilion to restrain itself from taking action, disrupting the changes in the Great Cloud Heavenly Secrets and the flow of fortune.

"Our Xuan Yang Mountain has waited a thousand years, and this day has finally arrived."

Tian Quezi murmured softly, then pointed his fingertip, and the magic mirror shone brightly, reflecting the prosperous scene of the Five Extreme Peaks.

"Fang Yi and Yan Youtai are about to determine the winner in their battle, and this opportunity will also serve as a chance for the cultivators in the sect to unite."

"In just five years, it has already achieved such a remarkable result; Fang Yi's management skills are truly exceptional."

You Xishan nodded slightly, and a beam of spiritual light shot out from his fingertips.

"The legacy of the great ancestral hall is abandoned just like that. It has been a long time since I have seen such a decisive person."

"He has a virtuous heart and acts decisively."

If one can obtain some fortuitous opportunities in the Jianyang Secret Realm, it is not impossible that another Great Master will emerge in the future.

Tian Quezi showed his approval, his heart already tipped in favor of Fang Yi and Yan Youtai, but he did not interfere in their dispute.

To seize the power of the sect leader, unlike Xiao Lie who needed to collude with others in private, Fang Yi, as a Core Formation True Person, had plenty of confidence.

This involves countless interests, affecting inner and outer disciples, family cultivators, and Foundation Establishment cultivators within Xuan Yang Mountain.
Even with the arrival of Core Formation cultivators, the situation at Xuan Yang Mountain will inevitably undergo a major reshuffle.

If Fang Yi succeeds, he will command all cultivators as the sect leader; if he loses to Tian Quezi, the victor, Yan Youtai, will act as the Grand Master's decree.

It can also command a group of cultivators and initiate a bloody battle with the Azure Water Pavilion.

In five years, Fang Yi had subdued all the troublemakers outside the Tianji Peak lineage, even those who still harbored resentment.

Qin Yu and Huo Zhao visited each of the Foundation Establishment cultivators one morning, appealing to their emotions and reasoning with them.

Although cave dwellings sometimes collapse, causing serious injuries to cultivators.

However, when peers clash, the loser remains silent.

"Let's see, let's see."

Tian Quezi smiled as he split the photographic lens in two, observing the scenery of Yan Youtai and Wuji Peak separately.

“Yan Youtai is no ordinary person either. He will not allow the Five Extremes Peak to continue to grow stronger and eventually compete with him for the Jianyang Secret Realm opportunity.”

"Here we go again. Is Tian Quezi so free?"

In the Xuanling Changsheng Mansion.

Fang Yi murmured to himself, while the azure sky above his head was filled with hazy, swirling clouds of spiritual energy, constantly drawing upon the essence of spiritual herbs from the spiritual field to generate runes.

"disease!"

As the last rune was cast, the Azure Sky Treasure Cloud shone brightly, filling the cave with a sweet fragrance.

"The azure sky and precious clouds have achieved a minor success."

With the aid of this wondrous medical technique, my path of spiritual medicine is within reach of breaking through to the middle rank of the third level.

Fang Yi ignored the faint, imperceptible probing intent from the void. This was not the kind of probing that a cultivator in the early stages of Core Formation could detect.

"With the assistance of the Ancestral Hall, Zhu Huaiyuan of the Xuan Yang lineage became my friend, but the rest of the sect outwardly complied while inwardly disobeying, leaving only the Wugengzi lineage."

Everything is ready; it's time to completely suppress Yan Youtai.

With a flick of his sleeve, he unleashed a beam of spiritual light, which landed in the hazy, demonic sand formation to the side.

"Wow!"

As the sandstorm subsided, the yellow sand gradually dispersed, and Changsun Jie's expression darkened slightly.

Upon seeing Fang Yi summon him, he instantly suppressed his dissatisfaction, smiled, and bowed to a small silver-white beast.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master Qijie."

“Changsun Jie,” Fang Yi said.

"Disciple is here." Changsun Jie walked quickly, and in a few breaths, he passed through the gate and entered the spirit field.

Fang Yi scanned the area with his divine sense, and after a long while, shook his head slightly.

"Xiao Qi's array formation skills are at the near-third level, but he is not good at illusions. The second-level high-grade Mind-Bewitching Array has reached its limit for your use in tempering your Dao heart."

After five years of honing your skills, your magical power and spiritual essence are at their peak. You should consider going into seclusion to condense your inner core.

"pity.

"Your luck was lacking; you're missing a true Core Formation spiritual item. The amber ware secretly kept by the Kang family can only barely be considered half a Core Formation spiritual item."

"How could I not know?" Changsun Jie said with a bitter smile, his five fingers clenched tightly.

As his magical power reached its peak, he became increasingly aware of the immense benefits that spiritual objects could provide for the formation of the core.

He hesitated for a moment, then spoke cautiously.

"Since you are in charge of the Profound Yang Realm, I wonder if you could help me in exchange for a Core Formation Spiritual Item?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Fang Yi frowned slightly and reprimanded him.

"The sect has already exhausted its resources of spiritual treasures for Core Formation. Even if new spiritual treasures enter the treasure vault, they will be closely watched by several True Immortals, and one must make great contributions to obtain them."

Changsun Jie, you should be down-to-earth, cultivate diligently, and prepare to break through to the Core Formation realm.

"Yes."

Changsun Jie was unwilling to accept this, as it was an attempt to cut off his path to enlightenment.

Given Fang Yi's current status, acquiring a Core Formation Spiritual Object, though costly, is not difficult.

Being watched to death by a Core Formation Realm cultivator?
The Heavenly Mystery Peak of Xuanyang Mountain was suppressed, and all the Foundation Establishment cultivators were defeated by Qin Yu and Huo Zhao.

Which Core Formation cultivator would dare to disrespect Fang Yi?
'Tianji Peak?'

A flash of inspiration struck Changsun Jie, and he slightly closed his eyes, concealing the faint excitement within them.

'Fang Yi, if you are heartless, don't blame me for being unforgiving.'

Using me as a target to appease the cultivators of the Ancestral Hall has caused me to lose face.

And now they're doing this again.

"Changsun Jie, go and summon Deye. I have something to tell you."

"Tianji Peak is putting up a stubborn resistance; it's time to deliver the final blow," Fang Yi ordered.

"Yes, Master!" Changsun Jie bowed respectfully, his mind racing with a thousand thoughts.

Watching Changsun Jie's departing figure, an invisible medicinal fragrance rose from Fang Yi's fingertips.

He gave a half-smile, a strange, cold glint in his eyes.

"Unlucky spirit, do not disappoint me."

The Five Peaks are surrounded by clouds and mist, where cranes dance with their wings and sing elegantly.

Compared to the desolate and deserted state of five years ago, only three cultivators were practicing on the vast spiritual peak.

Nowadays, cultivators either ride cloud cranes or wield magic swords, coming and going in groups of three or five.

Since the Five Extremes Peak opened its gates to recruit cultivators from within, it has been able to do so.

Lingfeng divided its caves according to the level of cultivation, with the foot of the mountain being the most lively.

Auspicious blue clouds descended upon the Qingfu Garden. Changsun Jie, dressed in a gray hemp robe, half-hunched over, extended his five fingers and lightly tapped the bronze bell.

"clang!"

"Fifth Young Master, the Immortal has issued a decree."

The deep sound of the bell spread, and one by one, people stepped out of their respective caves, gazing enviously at the white walls and black tiles of Qingfu Courtyard.

Fan Deye seemed lost in thought. "Thank you for your trouble, Steward Changsun."

Tianji Peak.

"Master, your disciple requests an audience."

Zhou Qian, dressed in a silver Buddhist robe and with his black hair tied up with a withered branch, walked from outside the courtyard to the jade table and glanced at the visiting cards engraved with lotus flower seals.

His expression hardened slightly.

"Master, what is this?"

"The invitation from the Five Extremes Peaks was used by Qin Yu and Huo Zhao, disciples of Fang Yi, to defeat all the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Heavenly Mystery Peak."

Sending another challenge now is tantamount to forcing me to surrender and admit defeat..."

Yan Youtai looked at his disciple, whose aura was calm and whose face was handsome, and nodded slightly.

After five years of cultivation, Zhou Qian has become exceptionally talented, with no shortage of resources and spiritual objects, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining.

If it weren't for the need to solidify one's foundation, it would be enough to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

"Zhou Qian, prepare yourself well. All Foundation Establishment cultivators of Tianji Peak will be defeated."

"Given Fang Yi's momentum, next it will be your turn, you Qi Refining cultivators, to defeat Fan Deye."

"Don't worry, Master!"
A year ago, I had a test match with Fan Deye.

"If Qin Yu hadn't intervened and protected him, he would have been either killed by me or severely injured."

Zhou Qian's eyes shone brightly, radiating confidence.

With the full support of the Ancestral Hall, the Five Extremes Peak's power continued to grow, and several False Core Immortals had become disciples of the sect.

However, Fan Deye had only barely reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.

……

Five Extreme Peaks, the Mysterious Spirit Longevity Palace.

Fang Yi's sleeve trembled slightly, and a gray beast egg with a dim life force slipped out from his sleeve.

His palm pulsed with magical power, its rhythms shifting between life and death, ultimately surging with vitality. This vitality continuously nourished the beast egg's essence, which harbored a deathly aura, allowing it to grow stronger and cling to a sliver of life.

Without the nourishment of that near-third-tier stone dragon, and without the nurturing of demonic power, the beast egg would turn into a stillborn fetus in at most half a day.

Fortunately, the "Scripture of Life and Death" is skilled in the way of life, and its ability to heal beast eggs is even greater than that of the beast's original essence.

Five years have passed, and the life of the beast eggs is now just a hair's breadth away from being restored.

“Master, your disciple pays respects,” Fan Deye bowed deeply.

"Hmm." Fang Yi nodded slightly and waved for Changsun Jie to leave.

Half a day later.

At the foot of Wuji Peak.

The plump Changsun Wu hurriedly entered the welcoming pavilion.

"I've met my uncle!"

Changsun Jie, dressed in a gray robe, leaned against a water-drawing leopard licking its fur.

"Changsun Wu, my uncle is about to go into seclusion to condense his core, and he is still lacking some spiritual items. I would be grateful if you could collect them."

"Collecting spiritual objects?" Changsun Wu asked. "What kind of spiritual objects are you collecting?"

"Three jade marrow ginseng plants, each two hundred years old." Changsun Jie hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Jade Marrow Ginseng?" Changsun Wu's eyes narrowed, a look of astonishment flashing across his face. This was a secret order from the Changsun family, and he quickly composed himself.

"Uncle, rest assured, your nephew will definitely collect all the Jade Marrow Ginseng."
