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

Chapter 828 Severely Injures Ruan Xiang, Unveiling the True Nature of Chi Ming

"Qingyangzi!"

Ruan Xiang's eyes widened slightly, her cloud robe billowed, and the spiritual light in her hand surged by three times, with a burst of sound emanating from the azure dark current.

"die!"

"Fellow Daoist Ruan Xiang, now that things have come to this, why resort to such self-deception?"

Fang Yi moved his long index finger forward an inch, and the eerie mandala phantom swayed, blooming with purple light.

"Mandala Finger"

"Oh!"

The purple finger shadows obliterated the water's luster, shattering the undercurrents. Fang Yi flicked his robes, grasped the Azure Blood Bodhi Branch, and a vast aura filled the heavens and earth.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, a half-smile playing on his lips, and spoke softly.

"Fellow Daoist Ruan Xiang has been scheming for a long time; now it's my turn."

"How could Fang Yi be the sect leader?"
Fang Yi is actually the sect leader?!

The imposing Hu Lei Zhenren, draped in a purple silk robe with dragon patterns, had wide, round eyes, like copper bells.

He was incredibly authentic.

"Senior Brother Changce, we've known each other for a hundred years, yet you've deceived me to this extent."

Hearing Hu Lei, who was sixty years older and had a higher level of cultivation, address him as "Senior Brother," Xiao Changce couldn't hide the upturned corners of his mouth.

"I'm only able to rise in status because of my disciple. Let's see if Hengyi and the others will dare to laugh at me, the number one master of Dayun, in the future!"

He stood tall and straight, exuding confidence, his crimson aura rising three degrees higher, and then spoke to reassure others.

"Junior Brother Hu Lei, I also do not know when Fang Yi broke through to the level of a sect leader."
My disciple is so talented, I wonder when he will break through to a higher realm.

The sect leader's cultivation level concealed his aura; how could I, as his master, possibly discern it?

Looking at Xiao Changce, who was standing tall and full of vigor, about to question Hu Lei Zhenren who had used the Thunder-Swallowing Vine to scheme, the fierce aura in his chest suddenly dissipated.

My cultivation level is inferior to others.
At the same time, they are both mid-stage cultivators, but the difference between them is like heaven and earth, as they evolve into the rudimentary form of a Daoist temple and advance to the position of sect leader.

Regardless of when he breaks through or whether he uses spiritual medicine to scheme against him, from the moment he revealed his cultivation, Fang Yi has been a pawn in the black and white chess game of the Great Cloud Immortal Cultivation World.

From the moment he revealed his cultivation, Fang Yi was a piece in the game of chess in the Non-Great Cloud Immortal Cultivation World.

Even if he really uses a magical medicine to help, so what if he's risking his life?

"Master!"

I wonder if I will ever have such an opportunity in my lifetime.

Hu Lei Zhenren chewed repeatedly, looking at Fang Yi, whose robes were fluttering, with admiration in his eyes.

"They're really patient, waiting until now to make their move."

His gaze shifted and landed on Xiao Changce, whose face was beaming with joy, and a bitter feeling welled up inside him.
"What incredible luck!"
"What incredible luck! To have a sect leader as a disciple for free!"

"Why isn't Fang Yi my disciple? If so, the lineage of the Heavenly Punishment Hall will be safe and sound."
pity"

Xiao Changce chuckled, brushed aside a strand of white hair from his temple, and met the envious or jealous gazes coming from all directions.

"I have discerning eyes and have discovered Fang Yi among the many outer disciples."

Why can't we get a sect leader as our disciple?

"Hehe, Junior Brother Hu Lei, I know you are resentful, but you don't have my ability to teach you so earnestly, even if time could be reversed."

My disciple Fang Yi will never become your disciple.

"Damn it!" Hu Lei's carefully maintained composure crumbled, and he burst into a tirade of curses.

"Such incredible luck!"

"Qingyangzi actually broke through?"

On the side of Biyue Pavilion, Yun Hui was still shaken. If Fang Yi had attacked her as soon as he broke through, she would have been in grave danger.

"Junior Brother Yu Fengzi, Junior Sister Xuanzhi, and Shen Hong, do not fight to the death."

She sighed softly, gazing at the pale and azure light that intertwined, as Fang Yi's sleeves gathered.

"Keep the cultivators from Xuan Yang Mountain occupied until Senior Sister Ruan Xiang and Qing Yangzi settle their differences."
The current situation is no longer one where a desperate battle between us can determine a winner.

"Oh!"

Several miles away, three precious orbs—scarlet, gray-black, and dark green—spun around and were retrieved by the three members of Bloodtooth.

Looking at Qin Yu, Huo Zhao, and Li Heng, whose eyes were filled with extreme excitement and who were constantly celebrating, Xue Chi's eyes were strange and he felt lingering fear.

Bloodtooth's eyes held a strange look, and he was still shaken.

Fortunately, after reaching the Core Formation stage, he actively colluded with the White Bone Sect.

The various sects in the Great Cloud Cultivation World are all more treacherous than the last.

Chi Mingzi concealed his cultivation level, Ruan Xiang concealed her cultivation level, and Fang Yi concealed his aura.
The three dignified sect leaders, despite breaking through to higher realms, made no sound whatsoever, concealing their cultivation levels and waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Bloodtooth's gaze shifted to Xu Qing Snake, who was surrounded by flames. Even though he knew it was unrealistic, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

'Could this alchemist also be hiding his cultivation level?'
If that's the case, then it truly is.
This is bizarre! The entire feng shui of the Great Cloud Cultivation Realm is seriously flawed!

"Oh!"

Seeing the azure water and the vibrant green of life equally matched, Ruan Xiang did not hesitate for a moment. She transformed into a streak of light and was about to escape.

'Fang Yi, you are indeed more skilled, but the Abyss Sea of ​​the White Bone Sect should be breaking through by now.'
No matter how talented you are, can you really be a match for a master?!

At most, my Biyue Pavilion will cede some of its interests, but Xuan Yang Mountain is already too busy to offer any more!

"Why is Fellow Daoist Ruan in such a hurry to leave?" Fang Yi made a grasping motion with his five fingers, and wisps of green light gathered.

His eyes were icy as he stared at Ruan Xiang, as if she were his prey.

"not good!"

Feeling the wood elemental energy within a hundred miles constantly converging into Fang Yi's hand, Ruan Xiang was greatly alarmed.

"Fang Yi, what do you want to do!"
We are both sect leaders, and we have both developed rudimentary Daoist temples. What can you possibly do to me?

"Yan!"

A long, majestic chant echoed for miles, and the phantom of a dragon on the Bodhi tree branch swallowed clouds and mist, like a whale swallowing the sea, absorbing spiritual energy from all directions.

Watching Ruan Xiang create afterimages as she cast spells into the Autumn Water Pavilion, intending to retreat, Fang Yi chuckled:

"Fellow Daoist Ruan Xiang, why are you in such a hurry to leave!"

Ancient runes flowed in his dantian, transforming into invisible shackles that fell down.

"The True Method of Searching Heaven and Locking Earth".

"Fellow Daoist Ruan, take this lash from me!"

Seven emerald green rings lit up, transforming into ancient vines twisting and turning, exotic flowers blooming, moss spreading, and spirit ginseng and horses frolicking and playing.

"fall!"

Ancient, shamanistic incantations are incorporated into the resilient branches that sway in the wind, lashing down.

"Snapped!"

As the whip fell, a plain white banner was raised, its precious light faintly emanating from it, absorbing moisture from all directions.

"A mid-grade defensive magic weapon?"
Oh."

Fang Yi's brows furrowed sharply, and his dantian power surged forth, increasing by another three-tenths, his voice like tearing silk.

"Tear it!"

The plain white flag was torn apart, and the Hundred Wood Green Spirit Whip continued its momentum, striking Ruan Xiang.

"Oh!"

A cyan aura intertwined with the azure water, causing a burst of spiritual energy. A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Ruan Xiang's mouth, and her rosy complexion instantly turned pale.

"The great magic method?!"

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

As she swept her gaze across the Autumn Water Pavilion and the White Bone Hall, which had been formed by exhausting their very essence, a profound sadness filled Ruan Xiang's eyes.

"Fang Yi, you've been waiting for this moment for a long time."
When did you discover my hidden cultivation level?

"Never mind, it's not important."

"As long as we can defeat you, this three-way battle will still be won by my Azure Water Pavilion."

The Azure Sea Town Ruler in her hand gleamed with a jade-like hue, and her expression became solemn.

"Chi Mingzi, what trump cards do you have up your sleeve? Show them to us now!"

"Is Fang Yi the sect leader?"

"Ruan Xiang is also the sect leader?!"

Chi Mingzi's face was terrifyingly gloomy.

Ruan Xiang is the sect leader, Fang Yi is also the sect leader, and he is also the sect leader.
In this battle in the netherworld, are there any old monsters who have truly reached the threshold of becoming a sect leader, rather than those who have already broken through?

"Xu Qingshe?"

His gaze swept over Xu Qingshe in the crimson robe, his eyes filled with suspicion and wariness.

'Could this junior also be hiding his cultivation level?'

'Could this old monster also be hiding his cultivation level?'

Xu Qingshe held the Heaven and Earth Furnace in his hands, spitting out gilded flames. He exchanged a glance with Chi Mingzi, both seeing the suspicion and wariness in each other's eyes.
'Test the waters!'

'Test the waters!'

Amidst the swirling miasma and vibrant colors, accompanied by the clattering of limbs, the swarm of insects surged forth once more from the cocoon urn.

"Buzz!"

The furnace of heaven and earth trembled, and the gilded flames surged, transforming into various spiritual forms such as fire crows, fire snakes, fire magpies, and fire butterflies, which swept down.

"Oh!"

As Chi Mingzi and Xu Qingshe fought with all their might, yellow and green precious lights intertwined, and flames and poisonous miasma were of the same color.

For a time, it was difficult to determine a winner.

'Really, there hasn't been a breakthrough?'

'This Crimson Nether Child doesn't seem to be breaking through?'

'This Chi Mingzi has ulterior motives; he doesn't want to reveal his cultivation level, so he's risking his life for Ruan Xiang.'

'Seizing the opportunity so quickly.'

With only Ruan Xiang as a match, we can disregard her escape and plan one more step forward.

Seeing that Chi Mingzi was still entangled with Xu Qingshe and testing each other, Fang Yi's brows furrowed slightly and his thoughts raced.

In an instant, a ruthless glint appeared in his eyes, and he threw out the Void Realm Withering and Flourishing Banner from his hand.

"By imperial decree, the Yinmo Dao Domain."

Dark blue mist gushed out from the banner, transforming into dark moss that spread and expanded continuously.

In a short while, Ruan Xiang was drawn into it.

"A preliminary dojo?!"

Ruan Xiang sneered, and with a wave of his Azure Sea Town Ruler, a vast and romantic scene unfolded, also forming the prototype of an Azure Sea Dojo.

"The initial formation of the Daoist temple is crucial to the path to becoming a Great True Person in the future. Once the foundation is damaged, there will be no hope of breaking through to the next level."

"Fang Yi, as a fellow sect leader, do you really think you can take me by the nose?"

"Oh!"

As the azure tides surged and pounded against the Azure Sea Dojo, a corner of the Yinmo Dharma Domain cracked, allowing the azure sea's essence to seep into it.

She frowned as she looked at Chi Mingzi, who was controlling the colorful poisonous miasma.

The spiritual healer and the spiritual poison are two sides of the same coin. If Chi Mingzi could swallow Fang Yi, it would be of great benefit. So far, he has not made a move and is keeping his patience.

Nine times out of ten, they have no more trump cards left to influence the course of the battle.

"fall!"

The Azure Sea Town Ruler struck down, creating flowing water patterns and seven beams of precious light.

Before the water even reached a foot, the heavy, surging pressure of the water was already hitting us.

"Heh." Fang Yi's eyes showed neither joy nor sorrow. His slender fingers held the Azure Blood Bodhi branch, from which side branches grew.
Knots, weaving.
The slender branches transformed into a long whip.

"It's been a long time since I've used my full strength."

A smile curved his lips as he took a step forward, merging into the Yinmo Domain. His aura vanished completely in an instant, like withered ancient wood.

"Where?!"

Ruan Xiang's expression changed slightly as she continuously scanned the area with her divine sense.

"Behind."

"Too late!"

The azure mist flashed by, and Fang Yi's figure instantly appeared, holding the Hundred Wood Azure Spirit Whip, speaking in a deep voice.

"fall!"

"Snapped!"

Accompanied by the roar of a dragon, the azure whip fell.

"Oh!"

Ruan Xiang extended the Azure Sea Town Ruler from her hand, and with the flowing water, she barely managed to parry the spirit whip.

"Oh?

"His spiritual sense is quite sharp."

The Hundred Wood Green Spirit Whip was lifted slightly, its lingering sound echoing, and Fang Yi's figure disappeared once again.

"Wow!"

A flash of azure lotus light disappeared in an instant. Ruan Xiang sat to the side, while Fang Yi's robes fluttered as he swung his Hundred Wood Azure Lotus Whip down once more.

"when?!"

"Snapped!"

The cyan whip shadow fell, transforming into a powerful arc, landing on Ruan Xiang's left arm.

"Oh!"

"laugh!"

The robes, rippling with water, protected themselves, the layers of ripples transforming into a water shield.

"A robe of magic treasure quality. Fellow Daoist Ruan Xiang has cultivated for nearly four hundred years and has accumulated a considerable fortune."
"Doing something truly enviable"

"pity."

Fang Yi clenched his five fingers, and the Azure Bodhi Branch fell into his sleeve. Under the flowing blue mist, his figure disappeared without a trace.

With a flick of her slender hand, Ruan Xiang caused ripples to rise within the Azure Sea Domain, spreading outwards in all directions.

"Fang Yi, I use the power of water to detect your form, where can you hide!"

"Ruan Xiang?"
The mastermind of the Azure Water Pavilion possesses profound cultivation and is accompanied by a superior-grade magic weapon.

As the ripples spread, a tall, handsome cultivator with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes appeared.

The cultivator was surrounded by wisps of medicinal energy, his robes fluttering in the breeze.

"Fellow Daoist Ruan, I cannot afford to delay."

"what?!"

Fang Yi's expression turned solemn. First, the Azure Cloud Qi flew out from his sleeve and merged into the Azure Spirit Whip of the Hundred Trees.

The uneven, wrinkled whip body was straightened and coated with a jade crown.

A crimson witch mark followed closely behind, and the chanting of the ancestors rang out, while the aura of wood evil emanated from the Hundred Wood Green Spirit Whip.

"fall!"

"That attack?!"

Ruan Xiang felt her hair stand on end, her soul constantly warning her, before she transformed into a beam of azure light and vanished without a trace.

"This strike was almost comparable to that of a Grandmaster."

Fang Yi's breakthrough to the Sect Master realm is imminent; how could he wield such immense magical power without the slightest flaw?

"Want to leave?
dream!

Did you really think that my attack just now was to ambush you, fellow Daoist?

With a flick of his index finger, fine, dense threads crisscrossed, connecting with an ancient rune in his dantian.

"A wondrous technique: The true method of searching heaven and earth!"

Fang Yi gripped the Hundred Wood Green Spirit Whip, slowly raising his left hand to lock the aura completely, the whip tip pointing straight at Ruan Xiang.

"Ancient trees possess a spirit, and their precious energy rises forth, hence the name 'Green Spirit of a Hundred Trees'."

"fall!"

"Qingyangzi was testing us just now!"

Feeling the countless threads entangled on her robes, Ruan Xiang was startled and quickly cut them off.

But as soon as one thread is cut off, another thread wraps around it again; this is the prototype of the Azure Sea Dojo she has established.

How could we have been deceived like this!
Disregarding everything else, she unleashed her magical power, opened her mouth, and exhaled.

"puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which was then absorbed by the Azure Sea Town Yuan Ruler, its entire body glowing with a scarlet blood light.

"not enough!"

Feeling the backlash from the Azure Sea Town Yuan Ruler, which was only slightly weaker than a Great True Person, Ruan Xiang's eyes were resolute.

"rise!"

Deep within the origin of the Azure Sea Town's Yuan Ruler, a dragon whale rune emerged, leaping out and striking towards the Hundred Wood Azure Lotus Whip.

"Just a trump card!"

"Fang Yi, you have it, but I also have enough resources!"

The azure dragon whale phantom swayed, carrying the power of a landslide and tsunami, as the Hundred Wood Azure Spirit Whip slammed into it.

"boom!"

The two whips clashed, producing a resounding sound like metal colliding with jade, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

The ear-piercing ripples spread out, and even with the Autumn Water Pavilion suppressing them and the White Bone Hall channeling the spiritual veins, the two were still unable to withstand the impact of their battle.
The vegetation on Jiuquan Mountain was destroyed, and the mountain body was cracked, with dark and deep fissures crisscrossing it.

This sacred land atop the Great Cloud Peak, painstakingly cultivated by the Azure Blood Pavilion for hundreds of years, has been completely transformed into ruins where spiritual veins are severed and spiritual plants wither and die.

Looking at the centuries of hard work in the pavilion, now all gone in a single day, Ruan Xiang couldn't help but feel heartache.

Sensing Fang Yi's weakened aura, she hardened her heart and gritted her teeth:

"Fang Yi, we are both sect leaders. Today, I have lost a move to you, and the Biyue Pavilion will withdraw from here."
Continuing like this will only result in mutual destruction and benefit others.

"Both sides suffer?"

Fang Yi's eyes were deep and unfathomable. A wisp of azure cloud-like energy swam and played in his dantian, and his complexion quickly regained its rosy hue.

"Ruan Xiang, stop daydreaming."

"And now, take another lash from me!"

The jade light that had faded from the Hundred Wood Green Spirit Whip reappeared, and it lashed down.

"impossible!

It is comparable to a strike from a Grandmaster, requiring the unity of essence, energy, and spirit, and incurring a huge loss of magical power.

How did you recover so quickly!?

Ruan Xiang's expression changed, her soul trembled, and she felt the power of life and death.

"Edict!"

Ignoring everything else, she opened her mouth and spat out a true pill. Her natal essence was activated and fell, and the spiritual light of the true pill dimmed.

"Buzz!"

The Azure Sea Town Yuan Ruler trembled and struck out again.

"Senior Sister Ruan Xiang!"

Within the cage of light composed of white and blue, Yun Hui, Yu Fengzi, Shen Hong, and other Core Formation cultivators were about to lend a helping hand.
"This road doesn't work!"

But then they saw Xiao Changce with the Xuanzhen Five Flavors Pot on his head and the spirit snake he was stroking in his hand, leading Hu Lei to block their path.

"My disciple is so outstanding, I, as her master, cannot hold her back!"

"boom!"

The sound of spiritual explosions rose again, and amidst the surging spiritual tide, Ruan Xiang gripped the Azure Sea Town Ruler, her steps frantic.

"Cough! Cough!"

The backlash of her magic made her face pale as she looked at Fang Yi, whose energy had only dropped by a third but had instantly returned to its peak.

Ruan Xiang made a heartbreaking and resolute decision.

"Fang Yi, you..."

"What do you mean 'you'? Die!"

Fang Yi's face was shrouded in a bluish mist as he once again swung the Hundred Wood Azure Spirit Whip.

"squeak"

Inside the Thousand Cocoon Jar, insect runes writhed on the walls, and streams of poisonous miasma converged, transforming into a giant handprint that slammed down.

"Fellow Daoist Fang Yi, as the sect leader, why be so aggressive?!"

Chi Mingzi's face was gloomy. Ruan Xiang was so badly injured that she had completely lost her eligibility to compete with Fang Yi's flesh and blood. She could not afford to fall further in cultivation.

"go with!"

"Noisy!"

Fang Yi's Hundred Wood Green Spirit Whip continued its downward trajectory toward Ruan Xiang's head without changing its course.

"Buzz!"

The Azure Lotus Banner transformed into a gigantic azure lotus, which absorbed the miasma.

"Fang Yi was prepared?"

When did he discover it?

"Oh!"

"Crack!"

Despite Bihai Zhenyuanchi's best efforts in defense, his magical power was severely depleted, and a backlash struck the rounded core.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Blood kept flowing from the corner of her mouth, Ruan Xiang's face was pale, and her life force had been knocked down.

"how?"

Fang Yi's face was icy cold as he raised the Hundred Wood Green Spirit Whip in his hand again, the tip of the whip falling down.

"go with!"

"Fang Yi!"

Ruan Xiang's face was contorted with rage, her black hair cascading down her shoulders, and her eyes were dull and lifeless.

'My cultivation level!'

"Oh!"

Her azure magical power vanished in an instant, the nascent dojo collapsed, and depression filled her eyes.

"I am no longer at the Master Realm level."

Fang Yi's gaze was like a knife, holding the Azure Blood Bodhi Branch in one hand and the Void Realm Withered Glory Banner swaying in the other.
"Fellow Daoist Chi Mingzi, it's just the two of us left."

"Fellow Daoist, you must have been waiting for quite some time!"

"Fang Yi!
"You've schemed against the entire Azure Water Pavilion and my White Bone Sect!"

A dark light flickered in Chi Mingzi's eyes as he tried to imprint Fang Yi into his soul.
