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

Chapter 836 Anecdotes of Xuan Yang, The Abyss Attacks

"Ok?"

Yin Yue brushed a strand of hair from her temple, her figure graceful, the peony pattern between her brows shining brightly.

"Perfect timing. I'll take stock of you, Fang Yi, and see why that old monster values ​​you so highly."

That old bastard Tian Quezi hasn't valued anyone like this in a long time.

Xiao Changce suddenly realized that it was Tian Quezi who had made the sect leader of Hehuan Palace travel all this way to come here.

He tentatively asked, "Uncle-Master Yin Yue, what has brought you here?"

"Get out of the way! Senior Brother Guang Sheng is such a wise man, how could he have a disciple with such unique tastes as Xiao Chang Ce?"

Yin Yue glanced at the tiny, spirited snake peeking out from Xiao Changce's arms, her face showing disdain.

This Ah Jiu possesses the bloodline of the Twin-Headed Flame Glass. Before advancing to the fourth-tier Demon Lord level, she cannot transform into human form.

Only Xiao Changce could bring himself to eat it.

With a wave of her sleeve, a sweet, fragrant breeze swept away Xiao Changce, Hu Lei, Qin Yu, and the others, leaving only Fang Yi behind.

"Young man Fang, don't accuse me of bullying the weak."

My beloved Yu Ji possesses a beauty that eclipses the moon and shames the flowers, a countenance that makes fish sink and geese fall from the sky, and she has also refined a precious golden elixir, attracting numerous suitors.

The top swordsmen of the Great Yu Suspended Sword Sect and the Ancient Fence True Person of Medicine King Valley are both outstanding individuals, Nascent Soul seed cultivators. How do you expect to compete with them?

"If it weren't for that old ghost sending a message from Great Yu, I wouldn't have made this trip."

"Sword Master of the Suspended Sword Sect?"

"The Ancient Fence Master of Medicine King Valley?"

Xiao Changce murmured to himself, then his expression changed, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

He channeled his magical power and used a telepathic technique.

'Fang Yi, this time we must go all out. Yu Jizi of the Hehuan Sect must have a lot of secrets.'

Uncle Yin Yue is right.

The top swordsmen of the Great Yu Suspended Sword Sect and the Ancient Fence Master of Medicine King Valley are both outstanding individuals and first-class Nascent Soul seeds.

Each of them is a Grand Master in the late Core Formation stage, far surpassing you in combat skills, foundation, backing, and connections.

Yu Ji was valued for more than just her appearance.

Even if she condenses her golden core, it's impossible for her to be valued by the Nascent Soul seeds of two major Nascent Soul sects.

Such a prodigy would never lack confidantes, beautiful wives, or concubines.

The only possibility is that this Jade Maiden greatly aided his cultivation journey.
There is only one possibility that can help the Daoist path of Jianzi of the Great Yu Suspended Sword Sect and Guli Zhenren of the Medicine King Valley.

Condensing Infant!

'Nascent Soul Formation?!'

Fang Yi closed his eyes slightly, pondering the matter repeatedly in his mind.

'Master is right. If I were in his shoes, when I was the Corpse God Child, it would be something worth fighting over with my peers.'

One is a longevity-promoting spiritual object, the other is a treasure for condensing infant spirits.

His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and with a wave of his sleeve, the Bodhi branch in his hand swayed in the wind, rippling the water.

"Uncle-Master Yin Yue is welcome to be tested."

"Tsk, your appearance is more admirable than your cultivation level."

Looking at Fang Yi, whose face was as handsome as jade and whose eyebrows were as bright as stars, Yin Yue stretched out her slender fingers, and a pinkish-purple spiritual light appeared.

"Hua Dan Hand!"

"Wow!"

Her figure vanished in a few breaths, and in the blink of an eye, she appeared behind Fang Yi, her delicate, pinkish-white hand striking down.

Fang Yi's expression turned serious. Although Yin Yue had concealed her cultivation level and deceived Xiao Changce, Hu Lei, Xu Qingshe, and other Core Formation Realm cultivators, she could not hide it from his ability to sense Qi.

A wisp of green light appeared in his hand, and layers of green vines sprouted from his arms, swirling with vitality.

"Green Vine Palm".

"Oh!"

The two colors of light, one green and one pink, collided. The pink light instantly overwhelmed the green vine, causing the gnarled ancient vine to break inch by inch.

Seeing that the Green Vine Hand was about to be destroyed, Fang Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp light. The Green Vine withered, its vitality waned, and old skin grew on it, with the Daoist charm flowing through it.

"The Great Withered Vine Hand"

"Oh!"

The delicate palm print was corrupted by the Daoist aura. Yin Yue's expression changed slightly, and she moved with light steps, retreating a hundred feet away like a willow swaying in the wind.

"Such pure magic power, and such pure vitality," she said, raising her phoenix eyes thoughtfully.

"His talent isn't top-notch, his background and connections aren't top-notch, but his looks are top-notch."

"They're barely qualified to go toe-to-toe with those two from the Suspended Sword Sect and Medicine King Valley."

"Xiao Changce, arrange a place for me to stay. Tian Quezi asked me to come here, so it's not appropriate for me to leave too soon."

Yin Yue smiled and stopped making a move. Fang Yi's cultivation was not weak among the sect leaders.

If she can barely catch the eye of Jianzi of the Suspended Sword Sect and Gu Chi Zhenren of the Medicine King Valley, having another competitor will be a greater benefit to Yu Ji.

After all, no matter how good something is, or how beautiful a female cultivator is, you have to fight for it to show your true charm.

Xiao Changce's expression was strange. Given Yin Yue's usual domineering nature, why would she immediately back down after trying her hand without gaining any advantage?
The Blissful Treasure Mirror of the Hehuan Sect was crafted by a Nascent Soul True Monarch and is among the most top-tier treasures of the Great Yun Sect.

"how?

"Xiao Changce, you've grown wings, and I can't order you around anymore?" Yin Yue frowned slightly, looking like Xi Shi clutching her heart, making her appear pitiful.

"Don't forget, it was I who found that wicked dual cultivation method for you back then."

"Uncle-Master Yin Yue!"

Xiao Changce's face turned red as he interrupted Yin Yue. Although he had unique interests, he no longer had any intention of exposing them in public.

"Giggle! Giggle! Giggle!" Yin Yue laughed so hard her body trembled, and the hibiscus-embroidered gold robe she wore made her skin appear even more delicate and flawless.

"What, you dare to do it but not admit it?"

Fang Yi shook his head slightly. His master was also a ruthless and vicious person. His timid and hesitant behavior must mean he owed a lot of favors.

'eccentric.
Unlike other sects such as Dayun Xuanyang, Baigu, and Tiandao, Hehuan Sect is a genuine branch of the Nascent Soul Grand Sect, Su Nu Sect.

Whether it was the Biyue Pavilion joining forces with the White Bone Sect and the Heavenly Blade Dock, or the Xuan Yang Mountain leading the establishment of the Wind Spirit Immortal City, they never really interfered.
Does Xuanyang Mountain still have a connection with the Hehuan Sect?

"Fang Yi, wait for me on the island in the middle of the lake tonight. There are some old, well-known secrets within the sect that you should know by now."

Hearing Xiao Changce's voice transmission, Fang Yi slightly closed his eyes, concealing the surging glint in his eyes.

'As expected, our sect has ties to the Joyful Union Sect.'

evening.

The bright moon hangs high, its silvery light casting a silvery veil over the Nine Springs Abyss.

On the small island in the abyss, jagged rocks were scattered. Fang Yi flicked out several spirit seeds, which fell into the soil.

"disease!"

As life unfolds, the spiritual seeds take root and sprout, transforming into slender green vines that extend outwards, outlining cushions, wooden tables, or even tall green bamboos and secluded orchids in a secluded valley.

He then patted his storage bag, and two beams of spiritual light descended, transforming into a finely crafted tea set made of spiritual jade and a gourd of sweet, refreshing spring water.

He reached out and lit the jet-black spiritual charcoal, then poured the clear spiritual spring water into the jade pot.

Fang Yi sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, waiting for tonight's guests.

The most core secrets of the Great Cloud Immortal Cultivation World can only be known by a few core lineage successors from Xuan Yang Mountain and the White Bone Sect, passed down orally from previous generations of cultivators.

Even Biyue Pavilion and Tiandao Dock are somewhat inferior.

A gentle breeze stirs the lake, creating ripples on its surface. Time flows slowly by, and on the rustic rattan table, the spring water boils, releasing rising steam.

Fang Yi kept his eyes down, his nose focused on his mind, and his five fingers held a silver phoenix-shaped inscription in his sleeve. He probed into it with his divine sense and slowly began to comprehend it.

Until the moon reaches its zenith.

A streak of crimson light flashed across the lake, creating ripples. Finally, Xiao Changce plopped down on the futon, pinched his brow, and looked utterly helpless.

He reached out and took the jade pot, brewed several cups of spiritual tea, and then drank it all in one gulp.

He only let out a heavy sigh after finishing the tea, muttering to himself:

"That old woman is getting more and more difficult to deal with."

"Fang Yi, please feel free to ask any questions. Uncle Tianque has issued a decree that you will be promoted to the position of Sect Leader."

The secrets within the door, I can tell you everything.

'really.'

Fang Yi understood that the old monster Tian Quezi had kept a secret about the thousand-year-old heritage of Xuan Yang Mountain.

His eyes narrowed, and he spoke frankly: Xuan Yang Mountain and the Hehuan Sect were related to future plans.

Otherwise, no matter how valuable Yu Jizi was, he would not have overestimated his abilities.

If you were to provoke a Nascent Soul True Monarch to take action, you would face a near-certain death.

"Master, what is the connection between our sect and the Hehuan Sect?"

I saw that Bai Ri Yin Yue Zhenren was still working hard to search for cultivation methods for my master. As for the matter of Yu Ji, is it something I can interfere with?

If this attracts the attention of the Hanging Sword Mountain, Medicine King Valley, or even the Nascent Soul True Monarch behind the Plain Maiden Sect, it would be an undeserved disaster.

"You're quite confident that you can defeat the Sword Disciple of the Suspended Sword Sect and the Nascent Soul Seed of the Medicine King Valley."

Xiao Changce glanced at Fang Yi, who was surrounded by the fragrance of herbs, and his eyes showed satisfaction.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking carefully.

"There's no need to worry about the Hehuan Sect. If you can defeat Jianzi of the Xuanjian Sect head-on, and the Nascent Soul seed of the Medicine King Valley..."

There are powerful figures in the Su Nu Sect who would be happy to see this happen, and no Nascent Soul True Monarch would intervene.

Having been passed down for a thousand years, the sect was aware of the Zoroastrianism's covert targeting and naturally wouldn't be unprepared.

Although the Great Yu is vast and far surpasses the Great Yun, the many Nascent Soul sects are not monolithic.

Zoroastrianism, Medicine King Valley, Suspended Sword Mountain, Plain Maiden Sect, Blood Fiend Sect
The grudges and feuds among these major Nascent Soul sects vying for disciples, spiritual veins, and opportunities far surpass those of the entire Great Cloud Immortal Cultivation World.

"Who are the powerful figures from the Su Nu Sect who are on good terms with us?" Fang Yi frowned slightly, until he got to the crucial point.

If this powerful being is a Nascent Soul True Monarch, how can the people of Xuan Yang Mountain befriend him?
If it weren't for befriending the Nascent Soul True Monarch, how could the Core Formation True Person have influenced the fate of the Plain Maiden Sect?
Xiao Changce's expression was complicated as he murmured softly, "It's Senior Uncle Li Lingxuan."

Fang Yi frowned, seemingly lost in thought. "Uncle-Master Li Lingxuan?"

But is it related to the Li family of Qianzhi Garden?

"Yes, the founder of the Li family of Qianzhi Garden is none other than Senior Uncle Li Lingxuan."

He is also the only cultivator who has cultivated the [Heaven and Man Transformation Great Method], inherited from the Xuan Yang main lineage, to the pinnacle.

Xiao Changce's words were pointed.

"More than a hundred years ago, the Li family of Qianzhi Garden used the lives of cultivators in the sect to cultivate disciples and practice the [Celestial Incarnation Technique]. The true masters in the sect already knew about this."

There were only about a hundred outer disciples around, and the Li family was sensible enough not to provoke any cultivators with high-grade spiritual roots.

Fearing that Fang Yi might be dissatisfied, he quickly explained:

"With the Zoroastrians eyeing us covetously, this is the prevailing atmosphere within the sect: the capable rise, and the mediocre fall."

If you can pass the test, the sect will provide compensation.

Back then, Fang Yi, after you escaped that calamity, the sect also provided compensation. The work at the Spirit Slaughter Academy is very lucrative, and the assessments are rigorous.

This is not a case of a cultivator with no powerful backing and mediocre talent being able to bypass the major Foundation Establishment families and join them.

"What happened after that, Gu Jiu injured Senior Brother Gu?" Fang Yi suddenly realized that his time joining the Spirit Slaughter Academy to kill demonic beasts had indeed gone extremely smoothly.

The fat, big-eared steward of the Lingtu Academy extorted money and bribes, but ignored him and even gave him special treatment.

This made him suspicious for half a year, and he thought he had run into another 'Li Wuhui'.
"Why
Master Guang Sheng had high hopes for Gu Xiaozi, believing he was likely to inherit the ancestral hall's legacy, the "Mysterious Hundred-Day Banquet." He instructed Gu to seek you out because your ever-changing mind could offer him some assistance.

I also intended to take him as my disciple, but unfortunately Yan Youtai schemed against me.

They are all from the three main branches of Xuan Yang Mountain, unlike Jiu Han, who is a Foundation Establishment disciple and a branch of a minor sect.
Back then, Master Guang Sheng captured a Core Formation cultivator from the Tianji Peak lineage to use as fertilizer. Patriarch Wangjizi didn't intervene, so I couldn't interfere either, lest I be bullying the weak.”

"Fortunately, Fang Yi, you outsmarted Yan Youtai and vented my anger."

Xiao Changce gazed intently at Fang Yi.

Previously, there were doubts about whether Fang Yi was targeting Yan Youtai, but after the battle at Jiuquan Mountain, he knocked Ruan Xiang down from the fourth level of Core Formation and forced Chi Mingzi to retreat.
He already knew that Fang Yi had both the reason and the ability to take action against Tian Quezi.
"Fang Yi, you don't need to worry that Uncle Tianque will be dissatisfied with this."

Gu Jiu was injured and died without me intervening. Yan Youtai also perished, and that was the end of it.
Otherwise, Uncle Tianque wouldn't have used this connection to arrange your marriage with Yu Ji of the Hehuan Sect.

If I am not mistaken, this matter is most likely a preparation for Yan Youtai.

Hehe, now you've gotten all the benefits.

Fang Yi frowned slightly as he watched Xiao Changce, who was unusually talkative and had a great conversation.

"Is Master going to take a risk next?"

"kindness?

Fang Yi, your insight is truly sharp. How did you see that?

Xiao Changce looked puzzled, his eyes showing curiosity. He hadn't mentioned what he wanted to do earlier.

"Never mind, this matter has little to do with you."

Fang Yi, listen carefully. These old secrets, though from a long time ago, might come in handy later.

"Is Li Lingxuanbo a Nascent Soul True Monarch?" Fang Yi's mind raced. He had also read the complete version of "Xuan Tao's Hundred-Day Banquet".

In addition, considering the demonic energy deep within Xiao Changce's origin and the snake scales that appeared on his temples, arms, and neck during their several battles, he already had a guess.

"A Nascent Soul True Monarch?"
If that's the case, then all the better.

Xiao Changce sighed softly, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

"Before mastering Qi cultivation, Uncle-Master Li Lingxuan was a womanizer. He once used Qi cultivation to kill his way to foundation building. After forging a mid-grade Yuan Yang Dao foundation, he founded the Li family of Qianzhi Garden."
Afterwards, he became stuck at the bottleneck of Core Formation and was unwilling to condense the true core, which greatly hindered his cultivation path.

He then switched to cultivating the [Heavenly Manifestation Technique], which had been ignored in the past, transforming Yang into Yin, and further refined it with a Taiyin Jade obtained from the Jianyang Secret Realm to forge a superior-grade Golden Elixir.”

"From then on, Xuan Yang Mountain, whose upper limit was locked by the Zoroastrianism, was bound by her."

The Great Cloud Cultivation World was far too small for someone as gifted as her.

"So you joined the Hehuan Sect?" Fang Yi frowned, looking puzzled.

"Why would the Hehuan Sect accept a Golden Core cultivator of dubious origin and then recommend him to the Su Nu Sect?"

"It wasn't that he joined the Joyful Union Sect," Xiao Changce said in a low voice, his expression strange and his lips twisted. "It was that he married into the Pure Maiden Sect."

"Marrying in?!!"

Fang Yi's left hand, which was holding the teacup, trembled, spilling tea. He said in disbelief.

"Marry into?"

"Yes, it's marrying into..."
Senior Master Li was steadfast in his Daoist faith. In his early years, he was called Li Qingping, but after forming his core, he changed his name to Li Lingxuan.
"It just so happens that the descendant of a Nascent Soul True Lord from the Hehuan Sect comes to visit and falls in love at first sight with your Master Uncle Xuan."

"Is it really love at first sight?" Fang Yi's expression was strange. How many beautiful women had a Nascent Soul descendant seen? How could he be easily tempted by a cultivator of unknown identity?

"According to Master Guang Sheng, after the [Celestial Transformation], the cultivator's physical body is perfect, making him an unparalleled beauty in the world and the pinnacle of the Enchanting Dao."
For cultivators practicing the Path of Union, this is an unparalleled temptation.

Xiao Changce's expression also collapsed, and he no longer had any sense of solemnity.

"Xuan Lingzi, a descendant of the Nascent Soul True Lord of the Su Nu Sect, fell in love at first sight with her Uncle-Master Ling Xuan, and was captivated upon their second meeting."

"Wait, Xuan Lingzi?" Fang Yi interrupted, asking, "Is this Xuan Lingzi male or female?"

“Naturally a female cultivator.” Xiao Changce’s lips twitched. He pinched the bridge of his nose. If Huang Guangsheng hadn’t told him personally, and another cultivator had spoken, he would have already beaten him to death.

"Yin Yue was also an admirer of Xuan Lingzi in her early years, but later, she was unexpectedly robbed of her love by her senior brother Li Lingxuan."
She was later rescued by her senior brother Li Lingxuan, and they developed feelings for each other, thus overcoming her heartbreak.

However, it was then learned that Xuan Lingzi and her senior brother Li Lingxuan had become Daoist partners.

"hiss"

Fang Yi gasped, muttering, "This Uncle-Master Li Lingxuan has quite the skills."
"Is Yin Yue's behavior today a reflection of her unrequited love for Master Xuan?"

"Not really," Xiao Changce said weakly, pinching his brow. "Afterwards, Yin Yuezi recovered from her heartbreak, but then she took a liking to Master Guang Sheng."
He refused, citing that his master's cultivation of spiritual trees and precious herbs was far more interesting than women.

"Shouldn't we sever all ties with the door?"

Fang Yi looked curious; this was the first time he had ever seen such a complicated and tangled relationship between men and women.

"The Hehuan Sect is too wealthy," Xiao Changce chuckled.

"My master was a man of great elegance back then, truly the most virtuous gentleman of Dayun."

However, the resources of Xuan Yang Mountain are not without their uses, and ultimately they cannot compare to the unbridled nature of the He Huan Sect.

Yin Yuezi took out a third-grade superior-quality Yin Sophora japonica tree, which had the potential to advance further, and her master agreed.

"The spiritual plant that Master has now designated as his own is cultivated from that Yin Huai wood."

"So, Xuan Lingzi has now advanced to the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm?" Fang Yi asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, although True Monarch Xuanling is a Nascent Soul True Monarch, there is more than one Nascent Soul True Monarch in the Su Nu Sect, and there are also conflicts of interest among them."

Li Lingxuan, the senior disciple, had only a sliver of kinship with the sect.

Xiao Changce paused slightly, his laughter vanished, and he spoke solemnly.

"This wisp of incense will ensure your chance to win the Jade Maiden's Daoist partner."

Given Uncle-Master Tianque's temperament, the fact that he would use this small token of affection here shows that Yu Ji is no ordinary Golden Core cultivator.

"Could it aid one's spiritual path, and is it also connected to the Su Nu Sect?"

Fang Yi's eyes closed slightly, a sharp glint in them.

Li Lingxuan's willingness to push him to compete for the status of Yu Ji's Daoist partner is likely more than just a matter of romantic love.

He was at least 50% certain that the plan to have Yu Ji become Daoist partners with Jianzi of Xuanjian Mountain and Dazhenren of Yaowang Valley was a scheme by a Nascent Soul True Lord within the Su Nu Sect who had a conflict of interest with Xuanling True Lord.
'Let's wait until we meet Jade Princess later.'

If it can truly benefit my cultivation path and help me advance to the Nascent Soul stage, then I absolutely cannot miss it.

'But now...'

Fang Yi fiddled with the silver phoenix-patterned talisman hidden in his sleeve and asked a question.

"Master, do any of the three main branches of the sect possess a secret body-refining inheritance, comparable to the [Mysterious Gluttony Hundred-Day Banquet] inheritance?"

"Comparable to the [Xuan Tao Hundred-Day Banquet]?" Xiao Changce's lips twitched, speechless.

"You are the inheritor of the Xuan Tao Hundred Days Banquet, a Five Elements Manual that every rogue cultivator has a copy of?"

No!

The sect's most advanced third-tier inheritance is only the condensation of a mid-grade true pill, but in terms of foundation, it does possess a flawed ancient extraordinary skill.

If this extraordinary skill, passed down from ancient times, can be completed, it will greatly benefit one's foundation.

This will also greatly benefit your future cultivation of your nascent soul using the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit.

"Twenty-Nine Mysterious Techniques?" Fang Yida said.

"Yes, it is the Two Nine Arcane Techniques practiced by your disciple Huo Zhao."

By being able to condense a true elixir through this, Huo Zhao has already achieved the highest level of mastery in the path of body refinement, a tradition that has been passed down for a thousand years in Xuan Yang Mountain.

However, with the incomplete Two-Nine Mystic Technique used to condense the elixir, his path in cultivation will end here.

"Do Biyue Pavilion, Tiandao Dock, Baigu Sect, Fengling Immortal City, etc., have top-notch body-refining inheritances?"

"I've heard that the White Bone Sect's [Drought Demon Scripture] is a fourth-tier inheritance?" Fang Yi asked.

"Fourth-order inheritance?"
"A fourth-tier decoy would be more like it," Xiao Changce warned. "Fang Yi, don't even think about getting your hands on the White Bone Sect's Drought Demon Book."

I don't know what Tianquezi promised you, but even Master Guangsheng had reservations about this Drought Demon Book.
Why did the sect ignore the killing of Yan Youtai by Yin Gu?
It is known that those who cultivate the Drought Demon Scripture are merely courting death.

"Is that so?" Fang Yi bowed deeply and asked earnestly. "Thank you for your clarification, Master."

"You are my prized disciple. If I don't help you, who else can I help?"

Xiao Changce smiled nonchalantly.

"If there is nothing else, I will go ahead."

Although Yin Yue did not achieve enlightenment with Master Guang Sheng, she developed feelings for him over time and some affection remained.
"As your teacher, I still have some influence; I can try to find out some news about Yu Ji for you."

"In that case, I'll trouble you, Master."

"Hahaha, off I go!"

Fang Yi gazed intently at the departing crimson light, his hand gripping the silver phoenix-patterned talisman tightly in his sleeve.

After a moment's thought, he sent out a communication talisman.

"Huo Zhao, come to see me immediately!"

Three days later, the sun was high in the sky, and the scorching sunlight shone down, reflecting faint golden spots on the lake surface.

On the small island in the middle of the lake, Huo Zhao walked out with a dazed expression, clutching a book tightly in his hand.

Beneath the cover of his hand, the characters "赤" (red) and "精" (essence) were faintly visible.

He hesitated, his mind in turmoil, until he returned to his cave, gazed at the small island in the middle of the lake, and sighed softly.

"Is it really possible for me to complete the 29 Mystic Arts and condense the Body Refining Golden Elixir?"

Even with Sheng Bo'an's outstanding achievements as a precedent, he was merely a pseudo-core cultivator. How could his opportunity to rebuild his cultivation after shattering his core be the same as that of a fully formed true core cultivator?

"However, Master's spiritual healing skills have now broken through to the third-tier upper level. Even if he fails, it will be enough to save my life."

However, the attempt to condense the elixir failed, resulting in the loss of five hundred years of lifespan for a true cultivator who had achieved the elixir-forming stage.
Should we take a gamble?

On the island in the middle of the lake, the green bamboo rustles in the breeze, and sunlight filters through the bamboo, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Fang Yi stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a jade crown and a pine-patterned brocade robe.

A photographic mirror floated in front of him, reflecting Huo Zhao's departure from the island, return to his cave, and the opening of the magical barrier.
The mirror reflected the subtle shifting light, revealing Huo Zhao's struggles and hesitations in every detail.

"It's still a bit lacking."
To complete the technique, even with the Silver Scroll and Phoenix Inscription, one still needs talented individuals to dedicate themselves wholeheartedly.
Perfect, let's use this to give them a little stimulation.

He held the Void Realm's Withering and Flourishing Banner in his hand, his eyes cold, and murmured softly.

"I worry that if my cultivation path is severed after my core is broken and I have to rebuild it, then I won't have this worry. If my cultivation path is severed and I suffer serious injuries, then I won't have this worry."
For the sake of my Nascent Soul cultivation path, Huo Zhaoxiu must also cultivate the [Two-Nine Mystic Technique], whether he likes it or not.

Seven days later.

The crimson sun hangs high in the sky, its scorching rays falling into the abyss of Jiuquan. Small islands of varying sizes dot the lake, and the occasional chirping of cicadas echoes through the air.

"call!"

A cold wind rose from the horizon, carrying rolling dark clouds that soon blotted out the sun.

"Fang Yi, get out here!"

Thunder rumbled, and a pale white arrow streaked past, falling towards the Abyss of Nine Springs.

"Buzz!"

Several streams of energy, cyan, black, white, and red, rose up. Sensing the undisguised energy within the dark clouds, everyone's expression changed.

"The Great Master?"

"The Old Monster of the Abyss Sea has broken through just like that!"

　Though late, it arrived; ten thousand tasks completed daily.
