Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 199 Treasure Hidden Place
That's one of the good things about independent cultivators: they're agile and their small boats are easy to turn around.

Since the "Haitao faction" can no longer dominate the situation, they are prepared to become fence-sitters.

In the upcoming battle, no matter what the circumstances, these people will have to consider their own interests.

I won't risk my life for the benefit of others!
Did you really think that the rogue cultivators were all brainless after the previous battle?

Many people inside are stirring up trouble and actively provoking a major battle, which is essentially a purge.

With so many cultivators dying tragically, the survivors have already been fed to a great extent.

Now, these people will continue to scheme to gain more benefits from the great war between sects and families.

Independent cultivators scheme against sects and families, and conversely, families and sects scheme against independent cultivators.

The relationship between the two sides is based on mutual exploitation; when it comes to stabbing each other in the back, they will show absolutely no mercy.

This treasure hunt involves numerous factions, each with their own agendas, and no one has yet been able to maintain control of the situation.

This made the situation even more complicated.

Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi were also rapidly exchanging messages, discussing their next course of action.

Not long after the "Haitao Sect" had appeased the rogue cultivators, a dense sound of footsteps once again echoed outside the tunnel.

Upon hearing this, the group of independent cultivators and the "Haitao Sect" were all taken aback.

The allied forces from other factions numbered seven or eight hundred!

There are far more of them than the combined number of independent cultivators and the "Sea Wave Sect".

"Hahaha! Fellow Daoist Wang Zi, I didn't expect you to act so quickly!"

At this moment, about thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators arrived near the stone gate from the other end of the tunnel and joined up with the "Sea Wave Sect" and other independent cultivators.

The tunnel, which was three zhang wide, was completely blocked off, with people everywhere.

However, everyone remained mindful and maintained a safe distance from one another.

At least there is enough space and time to swing a sword, cast a spell, or at least get ready to use a knife.

Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi, hidden among the rogue cultivators, were carefully observing the situation on the other side, just like everyone else.

Let's see what the outcome of the negotiations between the "Haitao Faction" and various families and sects was.

"Gentlemen! Is it really necessary for you to make such a fuss?"

Wang Zi's expression was somewhat unpleasant. These people were all Foundation Establishment cultivators from various forces on "White Sand Island".

Such a large group of people, there are far too many of them!
Even he was terrified when he saw it.

Even though his own sect was attacked, and even some members of the fleet stationed outside were killed, Wang Zi still dared not get angry.

That's all I can say, with a sarcastic tone.

"Hahaha! Fellow Daoist Wang Zi, we all know the benefits here, so how can our other sects and families remain indifferent?"

Zhu Heming, the leader of the "Zhu Dan Sect," said with a forced smile.

"That makes sense. If you want to monopolize everything, that's the fate of the Wang and Ma families!"

Another leader of the Flying Fish Gang sneered.

"Hmph! It's not like I'm stopping you other sects and families from coming! Haven't you seen that even rogue cultivators can participate in the treasure hunt?"

Despite feeling frustrated, Wang Zi still offered an explanation.

The "Haitao Sect" and a group of independent cultivators were all relieved.

Unless they start fighting each other immediately, it will be difficult for these families and sects to unite and specifically target them in the future.

He was genuinely afraid that these families and sects would join forces and eliminate him just as he had eliminated the Ma and Wang families.

"Alright! Stop with the nonsense!"

Another head of the He family, with his hands behind his back, looked over the more than one thousand people present and said, "Let's open this stone door first! What do you all think?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The others were also relieved to see that there was no need for a bloody battle.

"Seconded!"

A Foundation Establishment Realm expert immediately spoke up.

"agree!"

"agree!"

……

Soon, one by one, the Foundation Establishment experts all agreed.

Since the Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge had agreed, the other Qi Refining cultivators naturally had no choice.

There were as many as thirty-four Foundation Establishment cultivators and more than a thousand Qi Refining cultivators gathered in front of the stone gate.

With so many cultivators gathered together, everyone was confident that they could break through the stone gate and enter the hidden place behind it.

The various factions began to arrange their formations, with independent cultivators standing at the forefront, followed by Qi Refining cultivators from families and sects.

The thirty-four Foundation Establishment cultivators stood at the very back.

This isn't a family or sect trying to take advantage of the situation to attack independent cultivators.

There were simply too many people; the rows of cultivators stretched to a great distance.

If someone with weak cultivation is at the back, there's a high chance they'll miss and hurt the people in the front.

In this kind of place and atmosphere, if someone is accidentally injured, it could easily escalate into a brawl.

Before the stone gate opens, these Foundation Establishment cultivators must not be allowed to fight amongst themselves.

Because of this queuing method, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi were also positioned near the front.

Of course, this is a relatively forward position.

There were at least a hundred or so rogue cultivators in front of the two of them.

This location is safe enough!

"Do it!"

Once everyone was ready, the Foundation Establishment cultivators exchanged glances and shouted in unison.

"Boom!"

Including Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi, more than a thousand cultivators all made their move, and colorful lights filled the air as they rushed towards the stone gate.

The light was so bright that almost everyone was unable to open their eyes.

People with cultivation levels like Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi also closed their eyes.

With so many people attacking, any peak Foundation Establishment expert would be utterly crushed!
Such power is so great that even those at the Golden Core stage wouldn't dare to confront it head-on!

Inside the tunnel, thousands of spells converged into a torrent of magic, encompassing attacks of all attributes.

The fierce attack struck the stone gate, causing the entire tunnel to shake violently.

However, these were all cultivators, so they weren't afraid of the tunnel collapsing.

Some earth-elemental cultivators used their own magical power to cast earth-elemental spells to reinforce the passage.

The others continued bombarding the stone gate...

One spell after another, relentlessly bombarded the area!
The process lasted a full fifteen minutes, with the seven-colored divine light illuminating the dim underground passage.

Like many others, Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, and others were just taking advantage of the situation, going through the motions without putting in any real effort.

The spells they cast were the weakest of the two of them.

Moreover, the intensity is not high, only at the normal Qi Refining Realm Great Perfection level.

For Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi, even if they activated their magic power for a whole day and night, their magic power would not be exhausted.

Fortunately, even though everyone was slacking off, there was strength in numbers.

Despite the large number of people attacking simultaneously, they still managed to achieve their goal.

A loud "boom" resounded from the stone gate, sending stone chips flying and covering the entire passage in dust.

Layers of dust and fog filled the stone gate, reducing visibility to an extremely low level.

"what……"

A scream came from somewhere, followed by shouts and cries of fighting.

As time went on, more and more people began to clash with each other, and before they even entered the gate, the battle was about to begin again!

Many people began killing because of the treasure that had not yet appeared.

The various scenes of slaughter drove the crowd to even greater madness, and cruel killings surrounded them everywhere.

The life-or-death struggle between people is happening all the time!
Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi were not spared during this process and were attacked by others.

"Follow me and charge in!"

Chaos erupted. Li Yunjing hardened his heart, brandishing his longsword and slashing down four or five cultivators in front of him, turning them into mincemeat. He cleared a path, killing anyone who stood in his way, and led Yu Yunyi through the doorway.

The closer one gets to the entrance, the more ferocious the killings become.

I don't even know who started it!
Normally, everyone can just go in one by one in order.

No one is in danger.

However, there are always ambitious individuals who eliminate dissidents and cause bloodshed during this treasure hunt!
Many intelligent people understand what's going on.

However, the situation has already spiraled out of control.

All cultivators, not only those from their own sects and families, have absolutely no trust in each other.

Perhaps if you stop, someone will strike you down with a single sword, killing you instantly!
Now you're not human, and others will kill you!
If the people around you are strangers, you're bound to get stabbed.

Even during this process, some people fanned the flames and eliminated one opponent after another!

In this chaotic situation, Li Yunjing went a little crazy, and he killed anyone who stood in his way!

Li Yunjing exuded a murderous aura and a powerful presence, which made many people sense his movement towards the interior of the stone gate amidst the chaos of battle.

Ten breaths later, the people from various families and sects seemed to have reached a tacit agreement and took action to kill the rogue cultivators.

Reduce infighting among major powers.

Meanwhile, a Foundation Establishment Realm expert appeared in front of Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi, intending to kill them.

"Boy, where are you going?"

Just as Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi stepped through the stone gate, a sharp cry came from the left. The person had a powerful aura and quickly grabbed at Li Yunjing's back!

"die!"

Li Yunjing let out a cold shout, turned around, and the magic sword in his hand had long since been replaced by the "Heavenly Gang Cold Sword".

The low-grade spiritual weapon pierced through the enemy, and the Foundation Establishment cultivator who was chasing after him was shocked. He never expected that a mere Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator would possess a low-grade spiritual weapon!

The incident happened so suddenly that the Foundation Establishment cultivator didn't have time to change his moves. He could only forcefully gather his magic power in his palm and grab at the "Heavenly Gang Cold Sword"!

"act recklessly!"

A cold glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes, and the "Heavenly Gang Cold Sword" continued its relentless attack!

"You little beast! How arrogant you are!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivator also had a ferocious expression. Seeing that Li Yunjing did not back down, he couldn't help but curse angrily.

"Pfft..."

Before this person could even exchange blows with Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi flashed by, her beautiful figure like a ghost.

In an instant, he summoned a jade sword and flashed to within three feet of the Foundation Establishment cultivator!
That jade sword, as clear as autumn water, gleamed with a cold light, and pierced straight into the heart from the man's waist and ribs!

While the Foundation Establishment cultivator focused on defending against Li Yunjing's sword strike, Yu Yunyi launched a silent and all-out sneak attack, tearing through the man's protective aura with her spiritual sword and piercing his heart.

"what……"

With a scream, before the Foundation Establishment cultivator could even understand what was happening or lie on the ground, he was already dead!
Yu Yunyi, dressed in flowing white robes, exuded boundless killing intent on her exquisite face. A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and with a wave of her jade hand, her spirit sword once again lashed out at those around her who were trying to take advantage of her!
At the same time, Yu Yunyi moved with lightning speed, grabbing and seizing the Foundation Establishment cultivator's belongings in mid-air and storing them in her storage ring.

The three or five people who were about to take advantage of her looked terrified, their flying swords already in hand for defense. However, these people were all Qi Refining Realm cultivators, and their magical power and magical artifacts were far inferior to Yu Yunyi's.

With just three sword strikes, all of these people died at Yunyi's hands.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yunjing's sword pierced the man's palm, and by the time the "Heavenly Gang Cold Sword" was withdrawn, Yu Yunyi had already completed the act of killing the cooked flesh.

Seeing Yu Yunyi kill several people in one fell swoop, including a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Li Yunjing showed an expression of admiration.

This is truly the prodigy of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect"!

During the battle, he remained extremely calm, and every move he made was filled with fierce killing intent!
Yu Yunyi's combat experience and ability are truly worthy of being a true disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

Li Yunjing was very satisfied with having such a Daoist partner!

This is the kind of person who can accompany you for life in a way that is greater than the sum of its parts!
"You go in first!"

In the blink of an eye, Li Yunjing gave an order, and in a flash, he appeared behind Yu Yunyi to cover her retreat.

"be careful!"

Yu Yunyi did not hesitate and took the opportunity to enter the stone gate!
In battle, avoid being indecisive!
Since Li Yunjing has given the order, no matter what Yu Yunyi thinks or worries, she must enter the stone gate!
This is the combat discipline of the disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

After Yu Yunyi entered Shimen, Li Yunjing felt much more at ease.

In the next instant, Li Yunjing killed several more Qi Refining Realm cultivators, retreating as he fought, and also entered the stone gate.

Just after Li Yunjing entered the stone gate, several other people also rushed into the gate. These people were all Foundation Establishment cultivators!

Of the dozen or so people who have entered the gate, apart from Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi, there are no other Qi Refining Realm cultivators.

The fighting is still raging outside, and things aren't peaceful inside either!
Li Yunjing entered, and before he could even observe his surroundings, he heard words that ignited his anger.

"You vile wench! How dare you kill an elder of my Liu family! Prepare to die!"

Looking around, two more Foundation Establishment cultivators came into view, attacking Yu Yunyi.

Seeing Li Yunjing burst in, Yu Yunyi felt a sense of relief and retreated towards him, saying with a charming smile, "You want to kill me? Let's see if my husband agrees!"

Hearing Yu Yunyi's words, Li Yunjing chuckled and stopped the two Foundation Establishment cultivators, sneering, "If you want an explanation, then go to hell and reunite with that Foundation Establishment cultivator from your Liu family!"

As he spoke, Li Yunjing's aura surged, and the "Heavenly Gang Cold Sword" in his hand shot out streaks of icy sword energy, sweeping in all directions and making it difficult for the two Foundation Establishment cultivators to get close for a time.

The dust settled, and the fog dissipated considerably from the entrance, restoring some of the people's visibility.

Under these circumstances, Li Yunjing did not want to reveal his true strength; otherwise, with his combat power, he would have already killed the two ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Liu family!

"Stop fighting, everyone!"

At this moment, Wang Zi, a member of the "Haitao faction," shouted loudly.

Other cultivators also joined in the shouting, and after another quarter of an hour, the fighting subsided and everyone stopped.

The two members of the Liu family were no match for Li Yunjing and were already covered in wounds. Taking advantage of this moment, they withdrew and dared not continue to fight Li Yunjing.

The two men uttered a harsh threat and then hid on the other side.

"I'll spare your lives for now!"

A cold glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes, which he quickly concealed.

It's not time for a decisive battle yet. In some places, we still need to rely on the strength of these indigenous people!
At this moment, everyone looked around and saw that there were corpses everywhere, both inside and outside the gate!

In just this short battle, at least four or five hundred more people have fallen!
Among them, seven or eight Foundation Establishment cultivators also perished!

When the stone gate was opened earlier, countless people took the opportunity to eliminate some enemies.

Most of the people here are injured, some seriously and some lightly.

Many people took the opportunity to clean up the battlefield and loot all the valuables before entering the stone gate.

Only then did the remaining people have time to observe the scene inside the stone gate.

Inside the stone gate, ten feet ahead, lies a space three miles in size, enveloped by a layer of glazed light, a pure land within.

Within that shimmering glass dome, pavilions and towers were half-hidden by the mist, and a rich spiritual energy swirled around this pure land.

This is definitely a treasure trove for cultivation.

Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.

They didn't go to the wrong place!

This is truly the place where a great man passed away!

Looking at the rows of pavilions and towers, majestic and magnificent, they were reflected in the colorful glass dome, resembling a fairyland.

Some people seem to be drawn to the Pure Land and want to enter it, but as soon as they encounter the light barrier, something unexpected happens!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several flying swords shot across the sky, cutting the cultivators into pieces and turning them into fertilizer for the Pure Land.

There's a formation blocking the way, so we can't get in at all.

The sudden attack shocked the group of cultivators.

The remaining people dared not make any rash moves and could only circle around the seven-colored glass light barrier, trying to find a flaw.

"There's a formation blocking our way!"

Are there any formation masters present?

"If we can't break the formation, we won't get the senior's treasure!"

……

After observing for a while, the group of Foundation Establishment cultivators felt a chill in their hearts.

It is important to know that one cannot master the art of formations without exceptional talent.

Where would these small sects and families find any powerful array masters?
How could they possibly discern the true nature of this formation?
It should be noted that the three flying swords that appeared in succession were all of the spiritual weapon level!
This completely disheartened the Foundation Establishment cultivators.

There are countless spirit swords of this caliber within the seven-colored glazed light shield.

Who knows how many lives would be needed to break through this formation?
Unsurprisingly, no one responded to the Foundation Establishment cultivators' questions.
