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

Chapter 810 Rising Waves on the Azure Sea, Green Lotus Suppresses the Sea

"Buzz!"

On the Linglong Terrace of Jiuquan Mountain, the clouds and mist churned rapidly, and a figure in apricot yellow, whose aura was perfectly integrated with the spiritual veins of the mountain, was forced to reveal itself.

"Fang Yi discovered his presence; this White Bone Sect double hadn't managed to hide it from him."

Ruan Xiang, with her black hair cascading down her shoulders and her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, clapped her hands together, and magical power surged into the azure jade ruler, shimmering with precious light, and the sound of the tides lapping echoed.

However, it is the Azure Sea Suppressing Ruler, a top-grade magic weapon secretly enshrined by the Azure Water Pavilion, and is a treasure of the sect.

She had been in charge of refining this treasure ever since she broke through to the Core Formation stage, except for a few decades ago when she borrowed it from Jade Pearl True Person of Sudu Mountain.

"Yu Zhu failed to nip Fang Yi in the bud back then, but this time I will not be careless or underestimate my enemy."
Fang Yi?
As fellow leaders of major sects, let me see what your true strength is.

Ruan Xiang's expression was calm, and his aura flowed like a clear spring, continuous and unbroken.

Even if she was outmaneuvered, it had no effect on her whatsoever.

"Wow!"

The water ripples around the town of Bihai, layer upon layer of shadows, captured with the force of the tides.

"Oh!"

The azure dragon reached out with its claws, its shadows overlapping, and the emerald light clashed fiercely with the azure water, eroding each other's strength.

"Wow!"

The misty water vapor gathered and transformed into towering waves that crashed against the shore.

The Azure Dragon was agile and majestic, weaving through the giant waves, which seemed to be suppressed for a moment.

"boom!"

In a moment of carelessness, Yuan Chi of Bihai Town unleashed a burst of light. The Azure Dragon shook its armor, spitting out cold light, and also extended a claw.

"Oh!"

As the verdant light dissipated and the Bodhi branch returned to its original form, the water in Jiuquan Mountain condensed and transformed into a rainbow bridge.

Fang Yi held the Azure Blood Bodhi Branch in his hand, a knowing look in his eyes, and his aura dropped a level.

As he watched the dissipating azure magical power fall into the Nine Springs Mountain, his eyes slightly closed, his magical power circulated, and his energy was restored once again.

It seems they suffered a significant loss in the encounter.

The True Immortals Xiao Changce and Hu Lei from Xuanyang Mountain exchanged glances, spoke in low voices, their eyes filled with extreme apprehension.

"Ruan Xiang, the leader of the Jade Water Pavilion!"

"It turned out to be her!"

"She wasn't going to the White Bone Sect; she was making a deal with Yuan Hai. Why would she be at Nine Springs Mountain?"

Gong Ni, clad in a pine-patterned scholar's robe, with a jade-green aura, cleaved through his old rival, Yan Li, driving the muddy Dharma domain.

He said with lingering fear:

"We've been tricked. Ruan Xiang from the White Bone Sect is a fake; the one from Nine Springs Mountain is the real one."
Fortunately, Qingyangzi was prepared, but that was Ruan Xiang, the head of Biyue Pavilion, the number one person below the headmaster.

Even Chi Mingzi, a master of poisons from the White Bone Sect, is a notch below her. Can Fang Yi really defeat her?

Gongni looked worried as he gazed at Fang Yi, who was tall and imposing.

Compared to before the attack, there seemed to be a slight, almost imperceptible, drop in energy.

Although it was extremely subtle and intentionally concealed, making it difficult for ordinary cultivators to detect, he was well-versed in the ways of heavenly secrets and had already noticed a clue.

This is troublesome!

It was actually Ruan Xiang who made the move.

The Thunder God was a burly man, his purple silk robe with dragon patterns fluttering in the wind, and an ancient stone tablet rose from his sleeve.

There are several powerful figures in the Great Cloud Immortal Cultivation World, all of whom are suppressed as part of the foundation and cannot be easily touched.

Even when major sects like Biyue Pavilion, Hehuan Sect, Baigu Sect, and Xuanyang Mountain have conflicts of interest, most of the people who make a move are ordinary Core Formation cultivators.

At most, he would be a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, and that would be the final word.

Back then, when Ruan Xiang went all out, she was even stronger than the Nine-Bend Old Monster of Fengling Immortal City.

Now we have another top-grade magic weapon.
Master Hu Lei's expression was solemn, his eyes reflecting the Azure Sea Town Ruler surrounded by water and flowing runes, as well as the Nine Springs Mountain with its array patterns.

"Master, if things are beyond our control, it would be best if we left first."
Even Ruan Xiang alone is difficult to deal with, let alone the formation of Nine Springs Mountain, which is also a mid-grade third-order formation and contains countless hidden magical restrictions.

Xiao Changce frowned slightly, and the aroma of meat wafted from the Xuanzhen Five Flavor Pot in his sleeve.

'Fang Yi, what are your plans?'
As I cultivate the [Mysterious Devouring Technique], my magical power is limited. Even if I use all my remaining strength, I can only suppress Xuanzhi, Shenhong, and Yufengzi at most.

'Master, Junior Brother Hu Lei, don't worry.'

Fang Yi's lips moved, his eyes gleaming, and he waved his hand to raise the Azure Lotus Banner.

The banner fluttered without wind, gathering vitality as if to protect itself, yet also seemingly with some inexplicable vitality dissipating.

"Da da da!"

Ruan Xiang, with her slender figure, walked barefoot on the rainbow bridge, displaying a myriad of graceful postures. In an instant, both factions of cultivators engaged in combat were irresistibly drawn to her.

"Xiao Cheng's Azure Dragon Fighting Technique?"

Her gaze was like a spring, clear yet unfathomable, sweeping over the two magical treasures, the Azure Blood Bodhi Branch and the Ruins Realm Withered and Flourishing Banner.

"Fang Yi, you have good talent, but unfortunately, your cultivation time is ultimately limited. No matter how good your talent and potential are, they still need time to be transformed."
There are also two superior-grade magic treasures, and the blessings they possess are terrifyingly profound.

"But you've only been at the fourth level of Core Formation for less than ten years. How much power can you wield with this Azure Blood Bodhi Branch and the Creation Banner?"

"Thirty percent?"

"Four percent?"

"Still 50%?"

"The Dharma is precious, not numerous. Let me, the Empress, guide you on behalf of Heaven's lack of sons."

So that you won't become arrogant and conceited, not knowing your own limitations!

Ruan Xiang made a grasping motion with her five fingers, and the Azure Sea Town Ruler trembled slightly, with runes flowing out from the jade ruler.

"A wondrous method: creating waves without wind!"

"Wow!"

The vast power of water spirits converges into the lake from all directions, and giant waves can be seen rolling for miles around, with the azure waters flowing endlessly.

The Dharma Domain evolves, instantly advancing to the prototype of the Daoist Temple, continuously drawing upon the spiritual energy of water.

The five elements of spiritual energy, which should have been relatively balanced, became dominated by the water element as the azure light flowed.

Under such circumstances, the power of a water-attribute True Person's magic and supernatural abilities can be increased by 10%.

But it wasn't over.
"Oh!"

The ripples of the water undulate endlessly.

Whether it's the Thunder God wielding the Thousand-Pound Hammer, spewing purple lightning and thunder, or evolving the One-Horned Thunder Rhinoceros.

Or perhaps Xiao Changce gathered the Xuan Yan fire energy, and the crimson light turned into flames, which visibly dimmed, greatly reducing its power.

In the short time it took for them to come and go, the gap between the cultivators of Xuan Yang Mountain and Bi Shui Pavilion widened by a full 20%, which was enough to influence the overall situation.

"Senior Brother Fang Yi, it'll be too late if we don't leave now!"

Master Hu Lei roared to the sky, and the stone tablet behind him emitted a bright purple light, suppressing part of the water energy and barely maintaining the power of the Dharma Domain.

His eyes flashed with retreat, and he whispered repeatedly, "We're both at the mid-stage of Core Formation, but I'm no match for Ruan Xiang."

Fang Yi was able to defeat Qing Sui, but he was still no match for Ruan Xiang.

The White Bone Sect's Azure Marrow, struggling to break through a bottleneck, relied on the power of a magical artifact to achieve a breakthrough, while Ruan Xiang, with her steady and solid foundation, faced off.
It's like heaven and earth!
A True Person who has one foot in the sect leader level is already half a body length above an ordinary mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, making them completely different.

If Fang Yi wanted to stop Ruan Xiang, he would at least need to advance his cultivation to the fifth level of Core Formation.

Only by unleashing more than 80% of the power of a top-grade magic weapon can one have a slight chance of remaining undefeated.

now
If we don't leave now, we'll have a hard time getting away!

"really!
Hahaha, Fang Yi, don't even think about escaping!

Thunder roared, and the mighty river surged.

Ruan Yunhui, who was fighting against Hu Lei Zhenren, relaxed slightly. She understood and was secretly glad that she was not going to fight Ruan Xiang head-on.

With her mid-stage Core Formation cultivation, Ruan Xiang activated the Azure Sea Town Ruler, bringing her one step away from becoming a sect leader.

No wonder Jade Pearl Immortal, who was also in the mid-stage of Core Formation, was forced by her to flee to Sudu Mountain.

No wonder she was able to maintain her position as the sect leader without anyone opposing her.

'Fang Yi, I'd like to see how you handle this!'

As her thoughts raced, Ruan Yunhui intensified her magical power, causing the Nether Spring Pearl to spin rapidly, its radiance increasing by another third. It shattered layers of lightning, seemingly poised to revert the Thousand-Pound Hammer, transformed into a single-horned thunder rhinoceros, back to its original form.

Two thousand feet away.

Yu Zhi Zhenren wore an apricot-yellow butterfly-patterned dress, carried a green bamboo medicine basket on her back, and with a flick of her fingertip, wisps of purple-gold medicinal energy rose.

"The wondrous art of medicine: Purple Ginseng to nourish vital energy!"

As the wisps of medicinal fragrance wafted down, Yu Fengzi and Shen Hong felt their energy increase, and they experienced a warm, nourishing current flowing through their meridians, which had been throbbing slightly.

"Haha, thank you, Junior Sister Xuanzhi!"

As if a spiritual spring had opened up in his dantian, his magical power slowly recovered. Yu Fengzi's face was filled with joy, and the six heavy water tortoise beads rotated, driving the black water treasure light to entangle Ajiu.

“Want to leave!
dream! "

The armored warrior beside Shen Hong remained silent, but the power of his fist also increased by three points, and the blood energy swirled, causing the flames of the Xuan Yan Treasure Pearl to dim.

Seeing the situation take a sharp turn for the worse, with the Azure Water Pavilion gaining a significant advantage, Xiao Changce's eyes grew serious, and he whispered:

'Fang Yi, stay or go?!'

"A temporary victory or defeat is not worth considering. Biyue Pavilion currently has the upper hand. Taking a step back will open up a whole new world for us."

Regardless of whether you are a match for Ruan Xiang, even if you manage to entangle with her or even surpass her, what difference does it make?

There is also a mid-grade third-order array suppressing this Nine Springs Mountain, which is supplied by spiritual veins and managed by generations of True Immortals.
As the foundation of the spiritual healing tradition, it is not of the same value as Qingkong Cliff or Yunhe Island.

It would take at least a top-tier mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, approaching the level of a sect leader, to make a move, for there even a slight chance of breaking through.

'Master, please help me this once.'

Fang Yi moved his lips, using the technique of transmitting sound into the ear.

'good!

Just make sure you don't regret it later.

Xiao Changce agreed without the slightest hesitation.

He was not optimistic about breaking through the Nine Springs Mountain spiritual land. With Ruan Xiang ahead of him, even if Fang Yi broke through to the fourth level of the Core Formation stage, it would be difficult.

Could it be that one can even reach the realm of a true master at the level of a sect leader?
However, after Yan Youtai's death, Fang Yi's name was recorded in the Pure Yang Treasure Scroll, and he was also valued by a Grand Master in the sect.

Afterwards, he could kill the Golden Core cultivator Miaoyun, reclaim the spiritual land of Yunhe Island, and perhaps even advance his cultivation further.

Everything went so smoothly!
When one's path is smooth, it's easy to become arrogant. It's a good thing to suffer some hardships to temper one's resolve.

With him on either side, a joint retreat would not be difficult; at most, a few pseudo-Dan cultivators would perish, but the Five Extremes Peaks' power would suffer a great loss.

Given Fang Yi's lifespan, he could make up for this loss in one or two cycles of sixty years.

This experience can help to refine one's resolve and will be of great benefit to one's future spiritual practice.

Xiao Changce's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his divine sense subtly split into two, landing on Zhu Huan and Huang Daiyue respectively.

Once Fang Yi is defeated, he will take the two of them and flee.

A fake cultivator can be severely injured or even die.

Huang Daiyue possessed a superior Dao Foundation and was Huang Guangsheng's most accomplished bloodline, while Zhu Huan was a core disciple of the Xuan Yang main lineage.

It would be one thing if the fake alchemist died and his blood was spilled on Mount Jiuquan, but these two should not perish.

Fortunately, Li Heng and Qin Yu did not arrive at Jiuquan Mountain.

Otherwise, I alone could not possibly escape while simultaneously holding off three Core Formation cultivators and four Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Xiao Changce looked at Fang Yi, whose robes were fluttering in the wind, and shook his head helplessly.

Even though he was usually cautious, the series of victories had made him somewhat dizzy.
That's enough, that's enough.
As a master, it's only right to clean up the mess for his disciple. I only hope that Fang Yi, through this battle, can purify his Dao heart and eliminate his arrogance.

Fang Yi ignored the strange looks behind him, or perhaps he had expected it.

A true master who has reached the level of a sect leader is different from the one I fought before, Yan Youtai and Qing Sui Jie Dan.

However, a true master of the sect level
Hey, you've reached the level of a sect leader, and your dojo has begun to take shape, but you're not a true sect leader yet.
Not to mention the realm of a Great True Person.

Fang Yi extended his long palm, pointed his fingertip, and the ancient Void Realm Banner behind him swayed.

On the banner, there is a three-headed, six-armed demon god wearing a crown of creation and holding a blue lotus, a bowl, a pestle, a precious cauldron, and other ritual implements.

The demon god waved his six arms, his compassionate eyes lowered, and his emerald light shone brightly, while all life and vitality withered away.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The runes of the Yinmo Dao Domain collapsed, the Dharma Domain dissipated, and it transformed into seven feet of fertile soil.

With his sleeves billowing, strands of vitality continuously surged forth, intertwined, and solidified.
A towering ancient tree has its roots firmly planted in the fertile soil, and its trunk stands tall and graceful, spreading out like a canopy over the vast water.

The ancient tree is gnarled and twisted, its branches swaying, and its verdant light constantly cascading down.

"Wow!"

Ripples stirred by the vitality of the place shimmered in the water, and large blue lotuses bloomed.

The azure waters transform into undercurrents, battling against the faint signs of life.

Occasionally, lotuses are swallowed by the giant waves and undercurrents, withering and breaking apart. Other lotus seeds take root and sprout, lush and verdant, their resilient roots breaking through the water's flow to draw spiritual energy to nourish their bodies.

"Um?

The nascent Daoist temple, Qingyangzi, does possess some skill.

but
That's not enough!

A dark glint flashed in Ruan Xiang's eyes, and she felt a slight joy in her heart. Then she clapped her hands together.

"Imperial decree!"
The wind and water shift!

"Hurrah!"

The water rippled, and in an instant, the entire Nine Springs Mountain trembled. Vast magical power, like the surging of a great river, soared into the sky from the azure dojo.

"Gulu."

"Gulu."

At the very center of the dojo, a hundred-foot-long vortex spun, its fierce energy flowing and its deep roars echoing.

"hiss!"

A feathered serpent, nine zhang tall and with six wings on its back, emerged from the ground.

As if it had found its anchor, the chaotic spiritual energy and shattered water patterns in the azure dojo faintly converged into a stream, encircling the six-winged feathered serpent.

The ancient, gnarled tree, reaching for the sky, is not strong enough; fine lines appear on its trunk.

"It's time to go!"

"If Senior Brother Fang doesn't leave now, he won't be able to leave at all!"

Master Hu Lei's expression changed drastically. The mere aura emanating from the six-winged feathered serpent was enough to make him break out in a cold sweat and feel his heart pounding.

will die!

Facing this six-winged feathered serpent head-on will surely result in death!

"Ah!"

A strange smile appeared on Fang Yi's face as he made a hand seal.

"Oh!"

In the Nine Springs Mountain, lotus seeds fell and sprouted at some unknown time, their vigorous roots penetrating into the array patterns.

"not good!"

Yun Hui's expression changed drastically, and she was about to throw away the Nether Spring Pearl in her hand.

Without hesitation, Xuanzhi transformed into a beam of light and fled towards Jiuquan Mountain.

"Ok?"

Xiao Changce's face lit up with joy, a faint aroma of meat emanated from his body, and his magical power surged.

"Ha ha ha ha!
This road is blocked!

Ruan Xiang's eyes were serious as she whispered:

"when!?"

"No, it was the life force that dissipated at the very beginning, when the Azure Dragon was driven back by the Azure Sea Town Yuan Ruler!"

"Your goal has always been to break the formation of Nine Springs Mountain!"

Fang Yi wore a blue lotus crown, his robes fluttered in the wind, and his figure was as still as a deep pool and as imposing as a mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Ruan Xiang, as fellow sect leaders, the fate of Nine Springs Mountain depends on our abilities."
