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

Chapter 809 Two factions exchange pieces, clash and fight.
At the top of Jiuquan Mountain, there is the Linglong Terrace.

A tall, jade-like sweetgum tree, over ten zhang in height, with gnarled branches and spreading leaves that form a graceful canopy.

Beneath the precious tree, Ruan Xiang, clad in an apricot-yellow Dharma robe, stood with his hands behind his back. His sharp gaze swept over Xuan Zhi, Yu Fengzi, and Can Hong, whose faces were respectful, and paused on Yun Hui's dark complexion before he nodded slightly.

All four Core Formation cultivators were subdued, and Jiuquan Mountain also held the advantage of terrain.
Undeterred by the attack from Xuan Yang Mountain, her eyes gleamed with a sharp light as she gazed at the majestic warship hovering more than ten miles away, its surface adorned with patterns of hundreds of birds and surrounded by a radiant glow, slowly approaching.

"One of the treasures of the Xuan Yang Mountain Ancestral Hall is the Earth Phoenix Tower, capable of transporting thousands of cultivators."

"Qingyangzi Fang Yi?"
finally come!

Let me see just how capable you are, and whether you are worth the enormous price the palace is willing to pay.”

Ruan Xiangyun's magic surged from her sleeves, transforming into a deep blue magical barrier. As the runes flowed, a vast mist spread from the Linglong Platform, obscuring the entire Jiuquan Mountain.

She then patted her storage bag, summoning a jade bead. Her palm pulsed with magical power, and the bead emitted a brilliant light, its sound and rhythm condensing to form the phantom of an ancient bell.

"clang!"

The ancient bell rang, and the essence of the precious pearl instantly evaporated, causing invisible waves to ripple and surge like an arrow released from a bow, hurtling towards the gate of the Jade Water Pavilion.

"The Azure Sea Sound Method is a supernatural power that transmits messages quickly, but it is too costly."

Each activation requires a magic-grade Azure Sea Harmony Bead that has been refined for a hundred years.

Holding the broken and now completely extinguished communication pearl, Ruan Xiang felt a pang of regret. Pearls of this caliber were not easy to refine, but they could transmit messages extremely quickly.

It takes at most a quarter of an hour to travel from Jiuquan Mountain to Qianbo Lake, but the main ingredient, Yin Dao Treasure Material, is extremely rare. Even after hundreds of years of collection and accumulation, Biyue Pavilion has only managed to gather three sets of treasure pearls.

If it weren't for the repeated defeats of Biyue Pavilion, and the fact that the Jiuquan Mountain matter was of great importance...
Even as the sect leader, she was unable to retrieve such strategic resources from the secret vault.

Ruan Xiang's eyes were slightly closed, her aura seemingly present yet absent, blending seamlessly with the flowers, trees, spiritual plants, and precious herbs of the entire Nine Springs Mountain through the Linglong Platform.

"The unity of heaven and humanity, the Dao extending into the realm of laws?"

Yun Hui's pupils shrank to pinpoints in disbelief. 'This Ruan Xiang, who usually keeps a low profile like a clay statue, has actually nearly touched upon the foundational essence of a sect leader?'

Ruan Xiang's lips moved, like a clear spring flowing, and his deep words pierced through the layers of protective robes, resounding within Yun Hui's soul.

"Zhang Hengyi is being held back by Tiandaowu. As long as Master keeps Tian Quezi occupied, Fang Yi alone will not be difficult to deal with."

"Junior Sister Yunhui, you will be in charge of the Azure Spring Formation that protects Mount Ling."

My [stand-in] is drawing Xuan Yang Mountain's attention at the White Bone Sect, remaining hidden until the final blow is delivered and the overall situation is stabilized.
I don't expect you to surpass Fang Yi.

Her words were solemn and serious.

"As long as Fang Yi is stalled, I will take care of the rest."

Qianbo Lake stretches for miles, its waters rippling in the breeze, reflecting a dazzling, gilded light.

A covered boat drifted leisurely on the water. On the old deck at the bow, an old man wearing a straw hat and a raincoat could be vaguely seen fishing for fish with a bamboo pole, looking quite carefree.

An invisible wave swept by, and You Xishan casually looked up, his fingertips constantly calculating, the mysterious energy transforming into hexagrams.

After a short while, his expression turned solemn, and he murmured in a low voice:
"This energy is almost invisible; it seems to be the Azure Sea Sound Transmission Technique recorded in the sect's scriptures?"

"Tsk, Fang Yi has really pushed the Azure Water Pavilion to the brink. They've even taken out their most treasured possessions from the pavilion's secret vault."

"First, they lost Qingkong Cliff, then Yunhe Island was taken away, and three Core Formation warriors perished. Naturally, Biyue Pavilion was pushed to the brink."

If it were someone from within the sect, it would be our turn to unleash our sect's resources and hunt down the culprit.

The Five-Flower Immortal, with his raven-black hair flowing down his shoulders and barefoot, stepped out of the awning boat, his eyes gleaming with fire.

“Our junior brother Fang Yi has quite the ambition. He is unwilling to stay at Qingkong Cliff and fight against Biyue Pavilion. Instead, he has his eyes on the spiritual land of Jiuquan Mountain.”

That is the most valuable spiritual land under the jurisdiction of the Azure Water Pavilion. Those lowly maids can continuously cultivate spiritual healers, ensuring that there are medical masters presiding over the land generation after generation.

In this meticulously cultivated Nine Springs Mountain, at least 60% of the resources are comprised of a wide variety of medicinal herbs!

"Having big ambitions is a good thing, but it depends on whether you have the ability to back them up."

I remember that Fang Yi was also a third-tier spiritual healer. Master Tian Que also gifted him the Blood Witch Platform, a fourth-tier inheritance of witch medicine, which was enough for him to learn by analogy and take the spiritual medicine path a step further, touching the threshold of the third-tier high-grade.

To verify what has been learned and advance the art of spiritual healing, a considerable number of spiritual medicines are needed.

Yu Xishan extended a ray of starlight from his fingertip, which transformed into a silver mist, dispelling the fiery aura of the Five Flower Immortal.

"Junior Sister Wuhua, you should go back now. You've already used the Azure Sea Sound Technique, so Yu Yuanzi will most likely make a move."

As for Fang Yi?
Since he has such ambition and such a big appetite, we should naturally see what he can do.
If we lose, we can retreat to Qingkong Cliff, where we have a better chance of winning due to our advantageous terrain.

If all else fails, they can retreat to the third-tier spiritual land within their own sect. What the sect seeks is enough for many cultivators to fight and use human fortune to disrupt the heavenly fortune.

Both factions have suffered heavy casualties in the fight so far, and there is no way that the lowly maid from the Jade Water Pavilion would stop there.

"Senior Brother You, if Fang Yi fails, although he can save his life, his path to enlightenment will be ten times more difficult."

The five-colored flower vanished into thin air, leaving only a lingering echo.

If she could lend a hand, she would be willing to help Fang Yi, but as a True Person of the Fire Path, she was being watched by the Fire Worship Sect and the Heavenly Blazing Mirror was probing the heavens.
Even the Crimson Eyebrow Master, who had reached the peak of Core Formation, would find it extremely difficult to make a move, let alone someone like her, whose cultivation was far inferior.

Although Tian Quezi, a top-tier Grand Master, was still stationed in Xuan Yang Mountain, it was actually difficult for him to take action, lest he alert the enemy.

"Junior Brother Fang Yi, let's see just how capable you really are."

"It is not easy to find a successor for the three lineages. I hope you can take over Nine Springs Mountain, or at least avoid a crushing defeat."

Deep within Jade Island, in a bottomless, dark cave, are numerous fierce and restrictive laws.

"Boom!"

A precious banner, its silken surface billowing, drew forth a torrent of magical power, flowing like a vast ocean, absorbing spiritual energy from all directions, and finally settling into the clear spring of [Spiritual Ability].

"Crash!"

Beside the spring, spiritual light condensed like jade, transforming into azure lotus lanterns, their three-foot-long beams illuminating the deep cave.

"Buzz!"

A precious pearl at her waist lit up and vibrated at an inexplicable frequency. Yu Yuanzi brushed the pearl with her delicate hand, her eyes gleaming.

Has it started?

"Master, was it Senior Sister Ruan Xiang who fought against Qingyangzi Fang Yi at Jiuquan Mountain?"

Amidst the misty, lotus-shaped lamps adorned the dark cave. Beneath layers of magical restrictions, a female cultivator with flowing black hair and a crystalline body could be vaguely seen, submerged in the spiritual spring, breathing in and out spiritual energy.

Ruan Yuxi's eyes were clear, her appearance beautiful, but her eyes revealed a look of worry.

"With Master here, is Senior Sister Ruan Xiang a match for Fang Yi?"

"Xi'er, calm down."

Sensing the clear, continuous energy of his prized disciple, Yu Yuanzi's expression softened, and a look of loving kindness rose in his eyes.

"To be able to become the sect leader, and to suppress Yu Zhu, Run Yu and others since the beginning of her cultivation, and to take charge of the Biyue Pavilion, Ruan Xiang is no ordinary person."

In terms of natural talent, she is no match for Runyu; in terms of opportunity, she cannot compare to Yuzhu.
Ultimately, however, Yu Zhu was suppressed and forced to flee to Sudu Mountain, while Run Yu was trapped in the early stages of Core Formation and perished prematurely.

"Ruan Xiang is not as simple as she appears on the surface."

Now that the White Bone Sect is also helping, we are determined to recoup all the losses suffered by Azure Sky Cliff and Cloud Island, with interest.

Yu Yuanzi's robes fluttered wildly, and waves surged around him, one higher than the next.

"With the fall of a Golden Core cultivator from my Azure Water Pavilion, Xuan Yang Mountain must also have a sect leader buried with him!"

"I have long understood that the reason why the Pavilion has suffered repeated defeats in its battles against Xuan Yang Mountain is primarily because I am not as patient as those old turtles from Xuan Yang!"

"Huang Guangsheng was able to enter the realm of a Great True Person. How could he have been an unknown person before? It is clear that the Ancestral Hall lineage deliberately concealed his identity."

"And that day, the timing of the breakthrough to the Great Perfection was perfect, as there was a missing child."

"Yu Xi, you have exceptional talent, and with the support of the sect's resources to strengthen your foundation, your cultivation will progress by leaps and bounds."

The most important thing now is to cultivate diligently and fully realize the potential of my Heavenly Spiritual Root.”

"As for other miscellaneous matters, I will handle them!"

"Wow!"

Yu Yuanzi's robes fluttered as he took a step forward, the water flowing and transforming into a mighty river that cascaded down with immense power.

"Tianquezi, come and fight!"

"Boom!" The long river turned, the wind howled, and a hundred-foot-high wave was stirred up in the lake and crashed down.

"really."

Inside the covered boat, starlight flowed, and the Eight Trigrams of the Zhou Tian unfolded, evolving into Qian, Kun, Kan, and Li, with the trigrams changing.

Yu Xishan's expression was solemn. As his cultivation level had not yet broken through to the seventh level of Core Formation, he was no match for Yu Yuanzi. At most, he could only rely on the power of his magic weapon to try and entangle him.

"Fang Yi, you'd better pray for yourself."

Mount Jiuquan is lush with vegetation, but its energy has long lost its former warmth. On the exquisite platform, several beams of spiritual light rise.

"boom!"

A beam of azure light shot into the sky, flowing with the rhythm of water and transforming into a babbling brook.

Yun Hui's eyes were slightly closed, reflecting the Earth Phoenix Pavilion less than ten miles from the mountain gate, her eyes concealing a ruthless intent.

She spoke angrily, her voice booming like a bell, echoing for miles around.

"Fang Yi, now that you've come to Jiuquan Mountain, why hide yourself like this and invite ridicule!"

"Wow!"

Accompanied by rumbling sound waves, the Nether Spring Pearl spun, transforming into a surging river with swirling eddies within, sweeping towards the Earth Phoenix Tower.

Inside the quiet room of the ship.

Fang Yi, clad in the robe of the Mountain and River Transformation Moon and wearing a lotus crown, spoke angrily in his ear as if a spring breeze were gently caressing him.

His gaze fell on the photographic recorder suspended in mid-air, his brows furrowing slightly, his eyes serious.

"Apart from Xuanzhi, Yufengzi, and Yunhui, who are all True Immortals who have formed the Golden Core, are there any new potential cultivators in Jiuquan Mountain?"

"Is it nothingness, or is it concealment?"

His mind raced. Although Wu Hua had sent a message earlier, saying that the White Bone Sect had been persuaded, he knew that the demonic cultivators were driven by self-interest.
"Let's test the waters a couple more times; knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle."

"Junior Brother Lei, Master, unleash your full power!"

above deck.

'Junior Brother Hu Lei is going all out.'

Fang Yi's voice came from beside his ear. Hu Lei Zhenren, who was wearing a purple robe with dragon patterns and had a burly figure, had a solemn expression on his face. He patted his storage bag and two bolts of lightning rose up.

"Your Majesty's decree is hereby obeyed!"

"Boom!"

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and dark, leaden clouds stretched for miles, creating an eerie atmosphere.

"Roar!"

With a roar, dark lightning patterns swirled around it, and purple lightning roared. The Thousand-Pound Hammer transformed into two one-horned thunder rhinoceroses, turning towards the Nether Spring Pearl.

"Oh!"

A dull thud echoed through the heavens and earth. The Thunder Rhinoceros's horn broke off, its precious light dimmed, and the red on the face of the Thunder-Calling Immortal faded, leaving a pale complexion.

"How can it be!

How did Yun Huizi possess such profound knowledge to unleash seventy or eighty percent of the power of the Nether Spring Pearl?
"It was clearly not like this when there were clouds and islands!"

"Ah!

"Hurray! I am no longer the same woman I once was! The grudge against Yunhe Island will be avenged!"

A look of surprise appeared in Yun Hui's eyes. She glanced at the Linglong Platform discreetly, and continued to urge her magic power, causing the azure river to surge and sweep down.

"Shen Hong, Junior Brother Yu Fengzi, Junior Sister Xuan Zhi, make your move immediately!"

"Yes!"

Resembling a giant ape, clad in hemp clothing, Ginseng Red was clad in gilded armor, his aura soaring into the sky like a raging storm. With his five fingers clenched into a fist, a crimson spring-like shadow burst forth.

Yu Fengzi and Xuan Zhi exchanged a glance and saw the joy in each other's eyes. Yun Huizi had actually managed to gain the upper hand in a fight against Hu Lei Zhenren.

'His schemes are exactly the same as those of Sect Leader Ruan Xiang!'

The heavy water pearl shimmered with black light, and a jade ruyi wafted with medicinal fragrance, all hurtling towards the Earth Phoenix Tower.

With three Core Formation Realm experts making their move, only one Core Formation Realm expert remained on Xuan Yang Mountain's side, and Xiao Changce was unable to defend against them.

"Thank you for your trouble, Master. There is a high possibility that there are cultivators hiding in Nine Springs Mountain."

Xiao Changce nodded slightly and muttered something.

'What a life of toil!'

In an instant, he drew a large sleeve, surrounded by blazing fire, and a jade lotus platform held up the jade ruyi. He then struck the fist shadow with the mysterious pearl in his hand.

The remaining heavy water pearl, surrounded by black precious light, was about to land on the ship.

"Ajiu!"

He breathed softly.

"Hiss, roar!"

The air was filled with the sounds of wild snakes hissing and snarling. A three-foot-long snake, its body gleaming with jade light, grew larger as it faced the wind.

"Roar!"

The giant serpent, over ten zhang long, possessed a fierce aura. Its tail was like a whip, and its scales stood up in rows. With a single strike, it sent the Heavy Water Pearl flying.

"Ok?"

"Damn it, Xiao Changce has been hiding something too!"

"found it!"

Inside the ship, Fang Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he sensed an extremely concealed aura, a vibration so subtle it was almost imperceptible.

"Edict!"

A verdant spiritual light spread out, the Void Realm's Withering and Flourishing Banner was raised, and a misty spiritual energy flowed, with five colors of spiritual light—blue, black, white, yellow, and red—flowing and evolving, transforming the five elements.

"Shadow Moss Domain!"

Vitality is concentrated, moss is rolled up, ancient trees rise to the sky, the phantom of the mysterious fungus appears, and the outline of the Great Master's Daoist temple is being sketched.

The Azure Bodhi Branch swam out of his sleeve like a fish, its verdant spiritual light gathering and rushing straight towards Mount Jiuquan.

Fang Yi's robes fluttered, his expression solemn, and his fingertips constantly changed hand seals.

The long, drawn-out dragon roar echoed
"Yan!"

The blood-red bodhi branch continued to stretch and extend, its energy constantly increasing, surrounded by malevolent aura.

"Azure Dragon Fighting Dragon Technique!"

The fierce dragon's head roared, its main branch thickened and transformed into a sturdy spine, its side branches and leaves became icy claws for its limbs, and the remaining branches and tails became flat and long, transforming into the dragon's tail.
"Get out of here!"

Fang Yi's sleeves fluttered, five-colored spiritual light flowed, and the power of the Dao field fell upon the azure dragon.

The azure dragon roared to the sky, surrounded by fierce and malevolent energy. Its five claws were outstretched, sharp and metallic.

"Roar!"

"Oh no!" Yun Hui's expression changed drastically, but it was too late.

"Humph!"

A jade ruler rose from Jiuquan Mountain, its shadow overlapping.

……
