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

Chapter 770 Combat and Clash of Techniques, High-Grade Magic Treasures

"Wow!"

The Azure Lotus Banner was raised, and it moved without wind, with azure lotus blossoms falling and ripples spreading to protect all directions.

Fang Yi wore a jade crown, his robes fluttered, and vitality swirled in his hands as he lashed down with the Blood-Red Bodhi Branch.

"A mid-grade defensive treasure?"

Yun Hui frowned slightly, her thoughts racing.

Yu Hongzi died in the Law Domain, and Qingkong Cliff was almost completely wiped out, with very little information left behind.

She deduced from the information she received that it was Xiao Changce's doing.

He was the first disciple of Master Guang Sheng to advance to the Core Formation stage.

Without inheriting some foundation or backup plans, it would be virtually impossible.

Looking back now
Deal with Fang Yi first!
"Zheng!!"

The clear, melodious sound of the sword rang out like flowing water as a three-foot-long jade-colored spiritual sword was held in a slender, delicate hand.

The two elegant characters "浣水" (Huanshui) are engraved on the sword hilt.

Master Yunhui's black hair danced in the air, like a light song and dance, like autumn leaves falling, a desolate feeling enveloping the deep coldness of the sword light as it slashed down.

"Chi~"

Petals fall, and lotus blossoms wither and fall.

Fang Yi waved the Azure Lotus Banner, its vast magical power flowing freely.

The blue flag flutters, vibrant life gathers, and the withered blue lotus blooms once more.

Lotus blooming
Wither
After withering, it blooms again.
"puff!"

The two energies collided, and the brown sword light and the blue lotus mutually eroded and neutralized each other.

Fang Yi frowned slightly, picked up a black spiritual seed with his fingertip, and life force flowed through it. The seed shell cracked instantly, and a stem and leaves sprouted.

"Wow!"

A unique fragrance filled the air as the alluring purple datura bloomed.

"Mandala Finger!"

A mesmerizing aura flowed within the alluring finger movements, and the essence of the mandala instantly surged forth, pointing towards Yun Hui's head.

"Imperial Edict!"

Cloud Water Shield!

Master Yunhui's expression was solemn, and water-patterned tattoos appeared on his wheat-colored skin, shimmering faintly.

Her vast cloud-like aura surged from her sleeves, transforming into a dark shield.

"Oh!"

An eerie purple light descended, and spiderweb-like cracks spread across the shield.

The shadow of the mandala disappeared, turning into specks of purple light that dissipated, the two almost evenly matched.

'eccentric.
Let's test the waters a couple more times.

Fang Yi frowned, his mind racing. Then, he made a grasping motion with his fingers, and a tender green branch emerged once more.

"Snapped!"

The blood-red Bodhi branch lashed down, creating streaks of whip-like shadows.

"Heh, Fang Yi, you do have some skill. Junior Brother Yu Hongzi's death was not unjust."

Master Yunhui changed the hand gestures at her fingertips, and an ancient and simple magic seal was formed.

“Wonderful method: The stream flows gently, the autumn atmosphere is strong.”

"Wow!"

The Huanshui Sword flew out of his hand, its light as clear as water, transforming into a rushing river that swept down.

The rolling waves hinted at the bleakness of autumn winds and the desolation of mountains and rivers.

"Fang Yi, be careful."
This is the wondrous magic and supernatural power of the core inheritance of the Jade Water Pavilion, the "Washing Stream Sand."

With a wave of his hand, he unleashed the Profound Flame Pearl, suppressing True Immortal Can Hong for a moment. Xiao Changce looked anxious, his sleeves billowing, and a tiny flame appeared.

"Master, don't be hasty; it's not time for you to intervene yet."

Fang Yi spoke to comfort him, and behind him, the Void Realm's Withering and Flourishing Banner fluttered, life force gathered into a ring, and verdant life force converged, with the Little Yi Wood Divine Light sweeping down.

Then the Azure Lotus Banner transformed into a sixth-grade azure lotus, lifting him up. Beside the lotus platform, jade seeds sprouted, and azure lotuses grew on the acres of land.

As the lotus leaves grew endlessly, the Azure Lotus Domain evolved, and then evolved once more into the Azure Lotus Domain.

Yun Huizi unleashed a burst of spiritual light, the sword ringing out clearly.

"Wow!"

The magic sword transformed into a long, turbulent river, constantly washing over the magic domain. The turbid currents rolled and swallowed the blue lotus.

The sixth-grade blue lotus beneath Fang Yi's feet emitted a burst of light, and lotus seeds fell off one by one from the lotus platform.

Under the blessing of the divine light of the Little Wood, delicate blue lotuses grew and were about to bloom, and the Dharma Domain remained vibrant and its energy undiminished.

'wrong! ’

'strangeness! '

At almost the same time, doubt and astonishment appeared in the eyes of Fang Yi and Yun Hui.

They then immediately covered themselves.

"Is this all the methods a Golden Core cultivator can use?" Fang Yi's thoughts raced, and he had a vague guess.

Yun Hui's expression turned strange, and a sense of apprehension rose in her heart. 'This Fang Yi's cultivation of the [Wood Life] Dao is so refined?'

"boom!"

The two attacked again, the desolate stream and the Azure Lotus Domain clashing once more, a spiritual explosion roaring and a whirlwind sweeping across the land.

Whether it was Xiao Changce and Can Hong Shui Yuan who were fighting, or the cultivators in Qingkong Cliff City, they all felt a chill.

The blue and brown spiritual lights receded upon contact, and the two men's auras intertwined and clashed, but neither continued to fight for the time being, each lost in their own thoughts.

"Yun Hui is definitely wrong!"

"Fang Yi's [Wood Growth] Dao has such profound foundation?"

Fang Yi's clothes fluttered gracefully, his aura was long and deep, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Master Yunhui frowned, sensing a potential predicament.

The two remained silent, wary of each other, their thoughts churning within them.

Fang Yi thought helplessly, 'I clearly held back.'

"I clearly used all my strength." Master Yunhui's magical power surged, ready to unleash its power.

Fang Yi's thoughts flowed, and he murmured to himself:

I clearly held back.
The "Scripture of Life, Death, Withering and Flourishing" evolves into the Golden Elixir of Withering and Flourishing; I only reveal the Way of "Wood Growth," but the result...
How could Yun Hui'er, a Golden Core cultivator at the second level of the Core Formation stage, have ended up like this?

'I clearly used my full strength!'

Yun Hui's mind was in turmoil. The stream beneath her feet transformed into a water-washing sword, which landed once again in her slender palm.

"The Huanshui Sword was a treasure that Master Yuyuanzi carried with him in his early years. It contains five treasure restrictions and is extremely powerful."

"And my magical power is also first-rate, how could Fang Yi have absorbed [Xi Shui Xiao] almost unharmed? This is a secret and wondrous technique passed down within the sect."

'Let's test the waters a couple more times!'
Even a cultivator in the early stages of Core Formation, even if they have condensed their Golden Core, could not possibly remain completely undetected by my [Scripture of Life, Death, and Prosperity].

Fang Yi moved his lips and secretly communicated with Xiao Changce, stopping him from making a move.

"Master's plans have changed. I'll trouble you to keep that third-tier water ape occupied for now."

He felt a sense of helplessness. He had originally intended to kill the Crimson Water Ape, but now he had to be careful to avoid the complete collapse of Yan Youtai's affairs.

"It seems we overestimated the enemy this time."
Furthermore, it is necessary to ascertain whether this Master Yunhui is feigning weakness to deceive the enemy.

"Crash!"

The banner of the Ruins Realm of Withering and Flourishing fluttered, and hundreds of twisted ancient vines entangled, turning into a withered and yellow giant hand.

Little withered vine hand!

A lotus light flashed beneath his feet and disappeared in an instant. The phantom of a six-pointed plum blossom appeared in Fang Yi's eyes, and the withered and flourishing golden elixir in his dantian spun rapidly. Three ancient and simple talismans formed a Dharma wheel.

"Edict!"

The withered, yellow hand seemed to close slowly but actually very quickly.

A ruthless glint appeared in Yun Hui Zhenren's eyes. Black water swirled around her, transforming into a long, slender hand with distinct joints, which slammed down to meet the withered vine hand.

"Black Water Great Handprint!"

"boom!"

The withered vines shattered, and black water billowed forth. Fang Yi and Yun Hui Zhenren simultaneously confirmed their suspicions: 'It's not the condensation of a Golden Core!'

'Not a mid-grade True Pill!'

"."

The two were deep in thought.

'There's something wrong with this Yunhui Pill!'

'There's something wrong with this formula!'

Fang Yi closed his eyes slightly and activated his full power.
No, that's definitely not right.

Although Yun Hui's magical power is pure, the unique Daoist essence contained within her Golden Core is far too weak.

Fang Yi's thoughts raced, and a guess began to surface in his mind.

He quietly activated an octagonal spiritual rune in his dantian, and invisible sound waves spread out to probe the inner city's energy.

Wonderful magic and supernatural powers: Searching the heavens and the earth!

"Buzz!"

The invisible fluctuations spread in all directions, continuously feeding back information and landing on Fang Yi's soul.

'No ambush yet?!'
Has Biyue Pavilion gone mad? Yun Hui has not yet condensed her Golden Core; at most, she can barely fight against someone in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

What if we add another low-grade, third-tier water ape to attack Azure Sky Cliff?

'What a huge joke!'

Fang Yi felt a pang of sadness.

He cultivates the "Scripture of Life, Death, Withering and Flourishing," which is a lineage of the Azure Emperor Palace among the ten ancient sects.

With the aid of the wondrous and supernatural power, the "Heaven-Searching and Earth-Searching True Method," it would be impossible to conceal an ambush from him.
This is troublesome.
How could they possibly leverage the power of the Azure Water Pavilion? If Yan Youtai were to be severely injured like this, not only Tian Quezi, but even the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Tianji Peak wouldn't believe it.

Fang Yi did not give up; the path of cultivation is never smooth sailing.

Six-petaled blue lotuses bloomed beneath his feet, and the Azure Bodhi Branch in his hand was constantly knocked down, while his mind raced wildly.

"Borrowing the power of the Green Marrow, we can lure out the old monster from the White Bone Sect again?"
Or perhaps they're releasing the [Yin Yang Harmony Technique] to the True Person of the Azure Water Pavilion, luring the Harmony Sect into making a move?

'This shouldn't be happening!'
"The fact that Biyue Pavilion has been able to contend with Xuan Yang Mountain for so long, even if they are slightly inferior, means they shouldn't be treated like such easy prey."

With Tian Quezi's mastery of divination, and the assistance of the superior celestial secrets magic treasure, the Zhou Tian Bagua Diagram.
It's impossible for them to have overlooked this crucial step; Crimson Eyebrows was waiting for the clash of the two factions' energies to conceal the commotion of his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

Fang Yi's eyes turned solemn. This old monster, Tian Quezi, had cultivated for a long time, and his divination skills had at least reached the quasi-fourth level.

Even with the schemes of the past masters of Tianji Peak, there could never be such a flaw.

'That leaves only one possibility: Is Master Yunhui harboring serious problems, and has the means to conceal them?'

"Hey~"

His figure blurred as he dodged the desolate sword light of the Huanshui Sword once again, his slender five fingers reaching out.

"Buzz!"

A wisp of blue light, like silk, entangled with a trace of Yun Hui Zhenren's scattered magical power.

'This magical power is of a very low quality, lacking the unique Daoist essence of heaven and earth, and cannot be used to create a Daoist temple. It is definitely not a Golden Elixir.'
What other hidden tricks does the Jade Water Pavilion have up its sleeve regarding Yun Hui?

"Oh!"

Seeing Fang Yi's leaf blade slash down from his sleeve, once again entangled with the Washing Water Sword, Master Yun Hui's expression slightly hardened, and she quietly praised:
"Fang Yi, both Xuan Yang Mountain and Biyue Pavilion underestimated you."
Your breakthrough to the Core Formation realm is definitely not due to a mid-grade True Core circulating in Xuan Yang Mountain.

"Tsk, the Tianji Peak lineage of Xuanyang Mountain is still just as disgusting when it comes to deceiving people with fakes."
"A top-grade true pill has actually been reduced to a barely condensed mid-grade true pill."

Her face was dignified, and her robes fluttered in the wind.
'Hu~'

Fang Yi secretly exhaled a breath of stale air, suppressing the thoughts swirling wildly in his mind.

'really!
As expected, Biyue Pavilion had a backup plan regarding Yun Hui.
This way, there's no need to create unnecessary complications or draw in other old monsters from the Joyful Union Sect or the White Bone Sect.

"Fang Yi, your path of cultivation ends here!"

The divine thoughts of Master Yunhui flowed.

A perfectly round elixir rotates within the dantian, enveloped in a burning flame.

With each rotation of the True Elixir, a wisp of misty water spirit is refined into magical power.

The azure cinnabar was faintly dappled with golden light.

A talisman engraved with tiny starlight exudes magical power, its starlight cascading down to refine the power.

At the very center of the talisman, a pool of clear spring water condenses, which is the magical power that has been tempered over time.

She forced out a stream of blood from her heart, which fell into the Hanging Star Refining Talisman, her heart filled with resentment and regret.
'Just one step away!'
He was only one step away from forming the Golden Core, not yet half a step; he hadn't completed the process and was using the wondrous Star-Hanging Refining Talisman to conceal it.

'What a pity, I only managed to grasp 30% of the profound mysteries of the Star-Refining Magic Treasure Talisman.'

This cultivation of inner strength is lacking; I heard that Junior Sister Miaoyun is in seclusion, also for a breakthrough.
Now, his elixir is only half a grade lower than its original quality, forcing him to rely on refining magical talismans to conceal his flaws. His future path of cultivation will undoubtedly be significantly more difficult and arduous.

'Alright, let's reclaim Qingkong Cliff first, then deal with Yan Youtai, who's in the mid-stage of Core Formation.'

"Wow~"

"Wow~~"

A mysterious, ethereal pearl was taken out by Master Yunhui.

The magical power accumulated in the Hanging Star Refining Talisman surged into the bead like a burst dam.

Surrounded by a faint glow, the pearl stirred up a tide of spiritual energy the moment it appeared, gathering the power of the vast water spirit.

Like a clear spring flowing in a mountain stream, or like the endless rolling of the turbid Yellow River, a terrifying pressure filled the heavens and the earth.

"A superior-grade magic treasure: The Netherworld Pearl!"

Xiao Changce fell silent, his face darkening.

"Since Yu Yuanzi has bestowed this treasure of the Biyue Pavilion upon you?"

He transmitted his voice at lightning speed.

"Fang Yi, be extremely careful. If things go wrong, running away is the best option!"
This Nether Spring Pearl is one of the treasures of the Azure Water Pavilion.

In order to fight against the three main branches of Xuan Yang Mountain, Biyue Pavilion also had to forge and refine three high-grade magic weapons.
The Overturning Heaven and Sea Banner was the first to appear, used to suppress the sect's fortune. Five hundred years ago, this Nether Spring Pearl was successfully refined.

"Master, please rest assured, if Qingkong Cliff truly cannot be defended, I will not force it."

Fang Yi nodded slightly and continued to comfort Xiao Changce.

Behind him, the precious banners fluttered, and in the small grotto of withered and flourishing, blue, black, and yellow light flowed, forming a small cycle of the five elements: earth, wood, and water.

"Master Yunhui is a direct disciple of Master Yuyuan."

If a magical treasure is bestowed, there's an eight or nine out of ten chance that the power of the Nether Spring Pearl will be used to cultivate another True Person of the sect leader level.

'As long as we defend Azure Sky Cliff, everything can get back on track.'

"die!"

The accumulated magical power of the Chuixing Refining Talisman is limited. Yun Hui, with her flowing robes, acts swiftly and decisively, seizing every second, and points with her delicate hand.

"boom!"

The Pearl of the Hidden Spring shone brightly and suddenly crushed down!
"Fang Yi, stop struggling."

To fall beneath the treasure of my Azure Water Pavilion is a fitting end!

"Ha, so noisy!"

Feeling the immense power of the Nether Spring Pearl, Fang Yi spoke with a light laugh.

“Xiao Qi!
"If we join forces, we'll teach them a lesson they won't forget. The Nether Spring Pearl is powerful, but it's not omnipotent!"

"Ok!"

Amidst swirling yellow sand, a small silver-white beast plummeted from the spiritual veins of Qingkong Cliff, summoning the Earth Treasure Gourd.

As instructed by Fang Yi, demonic energy surged, spiritual sand spewed out, and twenty-four yellow jade pillars rose up, outlining ancient and simple array patterns.

'disease!'

The azure lotus banners fluttered, and swirling spiritual sand rose upwards, while the yellow sand howled as the array reinforced the downward flow.

Fang Yi smiled faintly and spoke:
"Fellow Daoist Yun Hui, is this a reciprocal gesture, or are you going to take a blow from me?"

Baiyangze, Qingquan Island.

The once fragmented and utterly silent island has been transformed into a murky swamp, upon which a stone platform floats.

After taking stock of the Biyue Pavilion cultivators' resources, Master Miaoyun frowned, pinched her brow, and her gaze fell on the direction of Qingkong Cliff as her thoughts raced.

"As expected of someone who can condense a golden core on their own, Yun Hui actually managed to receive a sect-protecting treasure bestowed by Master Yu Yuan."

With the Mysterious Spring Pearl, reclaiming Azure Sky Cliff will be no problem.

"What a pity. Even with the help of the Star-Piercing Refining Talisman, I was still impatient when I heard that Yun Hui was in seclusion to form her core."
