Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 305 Navigating the Maze (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The woman in red was, after all, a Golden Core Realm expert, and her cultivation had recovered quite well, reaching the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, unlike Lin Kai, who was willing but unable to help when faced with trouble.

Lin Kai had a series of thoughts in his mind, knowing how to defuse the attack.

However, his cultivation level was too low, his magical power was too weak, and he did not have any powerful treasures to protect him. Even though he knew how his opponents were attacking, he was unable to withstand them, which is why he was surrounded and killed.

The woman in red was not greatly affected by the four people's attack. She quickly summoned a red silk ribbon, which snaked around her body and wrapped herself up completely.

The four men's swords struck the red silk, only scattering the red light but failing to harm the woman in red.

The woman in red blocked the four men's attacks and immediately activated her supernatural powers. From her left sleeve, another red silk ribbon flew out and struck the man's forehead heavily.

The two sides were not far apart, and the man had fellow disciples occupying some space, making it impossible for him to dodge. With a "bang," the man's head was smashed to pieces, and red and white matter flew everywhere, even getting on several of his fellow disciples.

"Junior Brother Liang!"

"Senior Brother Liang!"

Upon seeing their fellow disciple die tragically, the three people beside them couldn't help but gasp in shock.

"Bastard!"

Zhu Danzi was furious. He had been working with the Yellow Turban Warriors to temporarily trap Canglan Zhenren, which greatly improved the situation. However, on the other side, another fellow disciple was killed.

Zhu Danzi cursed and looked at Li Yunjing. Seeing that this true disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" was still pale and sweating profusely, gathering his qi to recover from his injuries, he became even angrier.

"The people from the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' are all useless!"

The thought flashed through Zhu Danzi's mind.

However, when he tried to help, he was blocked by a sword aura from Master Canglan.

Even when facing the Yellow Turban Warriors' siege, the Foundation Establishment Realm Perfected True Person Canglan still appeared to be in complete control, showing no sign of being passive.

Li Yunjing saw everything clearly.

A thought struck him, and he began to consider how to make his move.

Now that all three parties are involved, how to maximize their own interests has become a matter for Li Yunjing to consider.

Currently, the Louguan Sect seems to have the upper hand, but this is entirely due to the Yellow Turban Warriors trapping Canglan Zhenren. Once the talisman's time is up, Canglan Zhenren will be able to escape immediately. At that time, the four members of the Louguan Sect may not be able to stop Canglan Zhenren!
Thinking of this, Li Yunjing couldn't help but call out, "Fellow Daoist Zhu Danzi, do you have any fellow disciples nearby? If so, please quickly send a message and ask others to come and help!"

"This……"

These words immediately put both sides on edge.

Especially Canglan Zhenren and the woman in red, their cultivation levels are not high. If a Golden Core cultivator from Louguandao came, they would be confident of escaping, but they would definitely not be a match for Louguandao.

At that time, wouldn't this underground palace become the territory of the Louguan Sect?

Thinking of this, Master Canglan and the woman in red fought desperately almost simultaneously. They no longer cared about anything else, only wanting to kill the people of "Louguan Dao" as soon as possible.

This put the four members of the Louguandao sect in a difficult position.

But just as she was launching this frantic counterattack, the woman in red suddenly turned deathly pale. She quickly composed herself and retreated.

In the dark underground corridor, some black centipedes suddenly appeared on the ground. These centipedes silently pierced through the red-clad woman's protective aura and stabbed into the sole of her red boot.

"Shameless! You people of the Xuanmen sect, you even control poisonous insects?"

The woman in red had a murderous glint in her eyes. After cursing, she immediately used her magic to seal her feet, preventing the poison from entering other parts of her body.

At the same time, the woman in red swallowed three "antidote pills".

Just as the woman in red retreated, the remaining three rushed forward. One of the Taoists sneered, "Our Xuanmen has a long history of controlling beasts and insects, which is unknown how many years it has been. You only just found out about it?"

Clearly, this centipede demon was released by this person during the intense battle.

At this moment, the woman in red's resistance had clearly weakened, and the three cultivators from the Louguan Sect continued to strike and force her back.

They didn't give the woman in red even the slightest chance to catch her breath.

"court death!"

The woman in red looked extremely pale. While retreating, she pressed several acupoints on her chest with her jade-like fingers. Before long, her complexion regained some color.

Almost instantly, the woman in red had recovered. Her phoenix eyes blazed with endless killing intent as she coldly stared at the three ants before her. Her true energy was surging violently, clearly indicating that she was gathering power to kill them.

"kill!"

With a soft shout, the red silk ribbons in the woman's hands shot out, fluttering and twisting, weaving between the three people, and in an instant, they were enveloped in the red silk.

"not good!"

The three were shocked and unable to escape. With no other option, they used their own spiritual weapons to slash and cut, but the red silk was also a very powerful spiritual weapon and could not be cut open at all.

In an instant, the two red ribbons began to shrink, becoming tighter and tighter, until they completely enveloped the three of them, shrinking ever tighter.

"Junior brother!"

Seeing this, Zhu Danzi became extremely anxious. If his three fellow disciples were to perish, he would be helpless.

The moment Zhu Danzi moved, the Yellow Turban Warrior dimmed, signaling the talisman's time was up!
"Bang bang bang..."

As soon as the Yellow Turban Warriors showed an opening, Master Canglan struck repeatedly, shattering the three Yellow Turban Warriors into golden light that vanished into nothingness.

Without the Yellow Turban Warriors' "Three Talents Formation," Master Canglan charged at Zhu Danzi.

"Dangdangdang..."

After several consecutive sword thrusts, Zhu Danzi was no match for them and could not withstand the attacks, resulting in several wounds on his body.

"Heaven and earth are boundless, and the universe borrows its power to shift forms and change shadows!"

With no other options, Zhu Danzi suddenly sped up, turning into a series of afterimages as she fled back to the passage she had come from.

Seeing this, Master Canglan hesitated for a moment, then immediately made a decision and went to kill the remaining three disciples of Louguan Dao.

Faced with the sword aura of Master Canglan, the three had no power to resist. They were all killed cleanly, one by one.

During this brief interval, Li Yunjing also disappeared into the corridor, fleeing for his life.

Faced with the berserk Canglan Zhenren, Li Yunjing was terrified and unwilling to risk his life against him.

Watching Li Yunjing and Zhu Danzi disappear at opposite ends of the passage.

Master Canglan was at a loss, unsure which one to pursue first.

He looked at the woman in red and asked, "How are your injuries?"

"Brother, my injuries are fine. I was ambushed by poisonous insects, but the spread of the toxins has been brought under control."

The woman in red said this as she collected her spoils.

"It's good that you're alright! Keep chasing those two!"

Master Canglan nodded, and after the woman in red had collected her spoils, he took her and chased after them again.

They would absolutely not let Li Yunjing, Zhu Danzi, Canglan Zhenren, and the woman in red go.

While Canglan Zhenren and Hongyu Nuren were preparing to give chase, Li Yunjing had already disappeared into some passage, while Zhu Danzi was somewhat bewildered. After escaping, he wandered aimlessly through the vast maze.

He hurriedly sent out a message, hoping that people from the Louguan Dao sect, who were thousands of miles away, would come to his aid.

At that moment, streaks of light converged over the town outside.

These people stood in mid-air, surrounding the town. The area within a ten-mile radius was occupied by cultivators from various forces, including the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect." Clearly, the heinous massacre of tens of thousands of people in a small town had not been concealed for long. In addition, the divine light that shot straight into the sky had alerted experts within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, who then brought their forces to the scene.

People from all sects and factions arrived, numbering in the hundreds, including Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators. When they saw that all the mortals in the town had died, their faces turned grim.

In the cultivation world, especially within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and many other sects jointly ruled this region. Since everyone was nominally a righteous cultivator, such a situation was naturally not allowed.

Now, someone is slaughtering ordinary people, and tens of thousands at a time. It would be strange if the people present could look happy.

"Let's go down and take a look! If that divine light really represents some kind of treasure, we'll all explore together and then distribute the spoils according to our contributions!"

An elder from the Shenxiao Dao Sect spoke up.

"Alright! This time, we will all follow Elder Wang's orders!"

Golden Core cultivators from other sects all declared that they would follow the lead of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect".

"Not good! Our 'Louguan Dao' people have entered the underground palace and encountered danger in a maze. These people are the ones who slaughtered the town!"

Before Elder Wang of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" could speak, an elder of the "Louguan Dao Sect" seemed to have received some news, his expression changed, and he quickly spoke.

"Then let's hurry down and take a look!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Wang of the Shenxiao Dao Sect frowned and gave an order, but in his heart he thought, "I didn't expect that the Louguan Dao Sect would beat us to it!"

Soon, led by a group of Golden Core Realm experts, these people arrived at the town's ancestral hall and headed underground.

At that moment, Canglan Zhenren and the woman in red had already chased after Zhu Danzi; Li Yunjing, on the other hand, was very lucky. Not only was he not being chased, but he also entered a passage without any trace and, by chance, arrived at the end of the maze.

Faced with a stone door in front of him, Li Yunjing had no choice but to release a "puppet mechanical beast" and begin to command it to forcefully push open the door, trying to enter the world behind it.

"Ccrunch! Crunch!"

Surprisingly, there were no restrictions on the stone door. The second-tier "puppet mechanical beast" actually pushed the door open, revealing a world that had been sealed away for a long time.

As the dust settled, the "puppet mechanical beast" continued to lead the way, with Li Yunjing following closely behind. He did not use any true essence; as a cultivator with five elements spiritual roots, Li Yunjing could absorb the five elements of heaven and earth and perform Daoist techniques.

As long as there is spiritual energy of the five elements between heaven and earth, Li Yunjing will not worry about survival underground.

"Having passed through the labyrinth, this great figure's domain has become even larger! It's like a faulted mountain range that has sunk underground?"

After passing through the stone gate, Li Yunjing observed the surroundings from behind the "puppet mechanical beast," his eyes filled with surprise.

Li Yunjing never expected that behind the stone gate was a huge mountain.

A mountain that has sunk into darkness.

Within this mountain, there were faint, faint lights, seemingly the result of formations or restrictions.

This mountain is formed by two peaks connected together. Between the peaks is a valley, and behind the stone gate is the starting point of a road in the valley.

Li Yunjing looked ahead and saw a layer of glazed light covering the valley. That should be the dojo of that powerful figure.

Originally, Li Yunjing did not want to enter this place, but things had come to this point, and he had been forced into it, and had actually found the location of the dojo.

Li Yunjing was also tempted. He sent a command to the "puppet mechanical beast" and followed it onto the bluestone path.

"Crack!"

They hadn't even gone a mile when the "puppet mechanical beast" ahead was struck by a beam of light and shattered into a pile of fragments. Li Yunjing had no idea where the light came from.

Li Yunjing paused slightly, his body covered in a layer of cold sweat.

"Damn it! Where did this restriction come from?"

Seeing that there were no further attacks on the road, Li Yunjing wiped the sweat from his forehead and then looked ahead, searching for an opening.

Unfortunately, his level of cultivation was such that it was impossible to discern anything extraordinary about him.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yunjing took out another "puppet mechanical beast" from his "storage ring".

This "puppet mechanical beast" was different from the previous one, only of Tier 1 quality. This "puppet mechanical beast" received Li Yunjing's order and moved forward again. With a "crack", it was smashed to pieces again!
"Ugh……"

This time, Li Yunjing saw it clearly. The light came out of nowhere, flashed in mid-air, and then fell down. There was no way to tell why.

"Try it again!"

Anyway, Li Yunjing had plenty of "puppet mechanical beasts" in his hands, so he released another one to continue exploring the way forward.

As expected, it was utterly crushed once again!

Undeterred, Li Yunjing took out one "puppet mechanical beast" after another and scouted ahead.

Persistence pays off, and finally, Li Yunjing's "puppet mechanical beast" passed through safely.

"I've found the timeline!"

Li Yunjing's eyes lit up with excitement. Just as he had predicted, the experiment was conducted again. One was destroyed, and the other took advantage of the gap to rush over!
Li Yunjing immediately took out a new "puppet mechanical beast". The moment the "puppet mechanical beast" was cleaved into pieces, Li Yunjing "whooshed" and crossed the dangerous place.

"call……"

Having passed one hurdle, Li Yunjing looked back at the road piled high with fragments of the "puppet mechanical beasts" and gave a bitter smile, a smile that suggested he had survived a close call.

As for why Li Yunjing didn't fly over?

If even the roads are this difficult to navigate, how can you expect to fly?

Look at which important figure's dojo allows a junior cultivator to fly around freely in mid-air?
Li Yunjing had never had this idea.

His only thought was to act with the respect due to a junior visiting a senior's temple, proceed cautiously, and see if there was any opportunity to obtain any benefits from a half-step Nascent Soul Realm expert.

As for other crooked and unorthodox methods, Li Yunjing never even considered them.

The road ahead proceeded smoothly for another mile when suddenly a ball of fire erupted ahead, burning the scouting "puppet mechanical beast" to ashes.

Li Yunjing relied on exploration and repeated testing, and with his own "Great Way of Fire," he figured out some tricks. This time, he only destroyed five "puppet mechanical beasts" to pass this level.

The road was still a mile from the valley ahead. Li Yunjing sensed his surroundings and, after confirming there was no danger, continued to send the "puppet mechanical beast" to scout ahead.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

When Li Yunjing arrived at a distance of one mile, sure enough, the restriction reappeared. Stone needles shot up from the ground, turning the "puppet mechanical beasts" that were exploring the way into pincushions.

"Click..."

The "puppet mechanical beast" fell to the ground and was disintegrated into parts.

This time, Li Yunjing could see clearly that it was an earth-based restriction, covering an area of ​​three zhang in radius. As for the bare stone walls on both sides of the road, Li Yunjing did not touch them, fearing that the danger there was even greater.

Having figured out the pattern, Li Yunjing used the "puppet mechanical beast" to explore the way and instantly broke through the barrier, entering the valley.

Inside the valley, unlike the outside world, it seems to be spring all year round. Above the valley, a bright sun and a bright moon shine together, providing the conditions for the survival of the vegetation and all things in the valley.

As Li Yunjing walked into the valley, he looked around and saw flowers, trees, and shrubs everywhere. At the end of these flowers, trees, and shrubs was a manor, tall and magnificent, with a unique charm.

Li Yunjing knew that this was the true training ground for important figures.

However, he had absolutely no interest in that estate.

Li Yunjing, on the contrary, turned his attention to the surrounding flowers, plants and trees. You should know that every plant and tree here was planted by important people. There are almost no first or second-tier plants here. They are all third-tier good things.

Li Yunjing no longer recognized many of these plants; they were practically extinct in the cultivation world outside.

Seeing these good things, Li Yunjing was excited. He carefully directed his "puppet mechanical beast" to slowly pick a spiritual herb from the right front.

There were no problems during this process!
Clearly, in that important figure's eyes, the flowers, trees, and shrubs here were no different from ordinary grass and flowers, and were not worthy of special attention.
