Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 337 Trapped Golden Core
The situation has changed again.

Since the appearance of Zen Master Huiguo, he immediately used his powerful Buddhist teachings to directly block the strongest Ji Shuhan, the "Spirit Snake Sect" and the Evil Wind Elder, greatly boosting morale and launching repeated counterattacks.

Under these circumstances, Li Yunjing calmed down. The "Qingyun Boat" stopped being aggressive and went all out to attack the "Lingshe Sect's" "Lingshe Ship".

At this point, it's best to keep a low profile to avoid exhausting your strength and running out of resources to escape in the event of an accident.

"Ji Zixuan, is your father alright?"

Xu Xun asked from the side.

"What are you saying! My father cultivates the 'Azure Dragon Supreme Technique' and possesses orthodox Xuanmen protective divine powers. How could a mere bald thief possibly be a match for my father!"

Upon hearing Xu Xun's question, the little girl became unhappy, pouted, and retorted.

"Miss Ji, I think this bald thief is quite formidable. Do you think he can win?"

Li Yunjing didn't quite believe Ji Zixuan's words.

As the three main battlefields, Zen Master Huiguo used his "Kasaya Subduing Demons Divine Power" to firmly suppress Ji Shuhan, preventing him from turning the tables. The two were at least in a stalemate, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

Meanwhile, the battle between Madam Ji and the Old Man of Evil Wind was also at a stalemate.

After catching his breath, the Old Man of Evil Wind continued to use various divine winds, evil winds, malevolent winds, and ghostly winds to trap Madam Ji.

Yu Yuanhua's side fared somewhat better. He fought two opponents alone, holding his own and even dominating the two Golden Core Realm experts from the "Spirit Serpent Sect."

In Li Yunjing and Xu Xun's view, it was difficult to determine which of the three battle groups had the upper hand or who would ultimately emerge victorious...

"Hmph! Don't worry! My parents are known as the 'Two Immortals of the Azure Waves,' and their greatest skill is joint attacks! As long as they join forces, let alone that bald monk and that old geezer, even if two more old geezers come, they won't be a match for my parents!"

Ji Zixuan has full confidence in her parents.

She held her little head high, looking very proud, and confidently declared that there was no problem!

Hearing this, Li Yunjing and Xu Xun relaxed a little.

"What do we do now? The 'Azure Cloud Boat' is struggling to withstand the 'Spirit Serpent Sect's' attack!"

Xu Xun then asked Li Yunjing for more information.

There are too many people in the "Spirit Serpent Sect," with more than two thousand people gathered so far.

With so many cultivators focusing their fire, not to mention Li Yunjing and his group, even Golden Core cultivators would have to be careful to retreat, or they would die on the spot if they were hit.

The protective shield on the "Qingyun Boat" has begun to break.

The members of the "Spirit Serpent Sect" attacked again, and their attack reached the main body of the "Azure Cloud Boat".

Without the protection of restrictions and formations, the "Azure Cloud Boat" itself, relying solely on its materials, could not withstand the opponent's attack.

At this moment, Xu Xun asked Li Yunjing, because he was considering whether to retreat towards the sea and temporarily avoid the enemy's advance.

"But if we retreat, what if these 'Spirit Serpent Sect' disciples gather together and besiege Elder Yu?"

Li Yunjing frowned; he understood Xu Xun's thoughts.

This was exactly what Li Yunjing was worried about. The "Qingyun Boat" was his, and Li Yunjing knew its limits perfectly well. He knew that his treasure ship could not withstand the attack of so many people.

"This one……"

As soon as Li Yunjing finished speaking, Xu Xun hesitated.

He couldn't very well say that he and Li Yunjing should leave Yu Yuanhua behind and retreat first, could he?
That's easy to say but hard to hear!

"You drive the 'Azure Cloud Boat' first, I'll go help Elder Yu!"

After thinking it over, Li Yunjing decided to take the risk. As long as he helped Elder Yu win, Elder Yu would be free to help either Mr. Ji or Mrs. Ji, and he could influence the balance of the game.

"Are you crazy?"

Both Xu Xun and Ji Zixuan looked at Li Yunjing as if he were a monster.

Is a battle between Golden Core Realm experts something a mere Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator can participate in?

In particular, all three battle groups were filled with experts at the Golden Core Realm, with not a single person below the third level of the Golden Core Realm!

Are such experts even worthy of their attention?
"I'm not crazy! I know what I'm doing! Don't worry, I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll retreat into the sea with you. Then, the two of you will have to use the 'Azure Cloud Boat' to pick me up!"

Li Yunjing remained steadfast in his statement.

"you……"

Seeing Li Yunjing's determined look, Xu Xun knew he couldn't persuade him otherwise.

He was shocked. Could this kid Li Yunjing really participate in the battle of the Golden Core Realm?

Has the gap between the two sides become so large?
Thinking about this, Xu Xun had the idea of ​​seeing Li Yunjing's true abilities.

The "Azure Cloud Boat" quickly retreated into the sea. Taking advantage of the "Azure Cloud Boat" sailing on the sea surface, Li Yunjing suddenly jumped into the sea.

After entering the seawater, Li Yunjing was not affected in any way. On the contrary, he was even faster. Almost instantly, he used the "Great Way of Water" and the Water Escape Technique to arrive near the beach.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the beach, Li Yunjing's aura suddenly changed, transforming back into the "Great Dao of Earth".

With almost no transition, he had already burrowed into the sand and was moving rapidly underground using "Earth Escape Technique," reaching the area beneath the battle formation of Yu Yuanhua and his two companions.

Li Yunjing stood on the ground, coldly watching the sky where three figures were constantly intersecting and exchanging blows at lightning speed.

According to his estimate, at his speed, it would take him three breaths to break through the ground and enter the battlefield. He wondered if the two Golden Core Realm experts from the "Spirit Serpent Sect" could successfully launch a sneak attack.
Li Yunjing kept a close eye on the battle above, using the "Purple Cloud Forging God Heavenly Secret Technique" to deduce the best time to strike. He absolutely could not expose himself!

It must be a single, decisive strike!
Even if they were to help Yu Yuanhua, they couldn't use their most secret skills. The "Yin-Yang Mirror" was of utmost importance and absolutely could not be exposed. Otherwise, given the unpredictable nature of people's hearts, Li Yunjing would have died at the hands of his own people.

Unable to use this treasure, the only means Li Yunjing had left to fight against Golden Core cultivators was the third-grade superior "Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array".

Silently, he took out the array plate and stuffed sixty-four high-grade spirit stones into it!

Li Yunjing didn't care about the nearly one million low-grade spirit stones he had.

As long as we can kill one of the Golden Core Realm experts at a crucial moment in the battle, it won't be a loss!
The array has been preheated and is ready to be activated at any time.

While Li Yunjing was still observing the situation on the battlefield, he saw that the two people from the "Spirit Serpent Sect" were repeatedly activating their supernatural powers and conjuring two giant serpents, each a thousand feet long, which were constantly tearing at Yu Yuanhua.

Seeing Yu Yuanhua carefully dodging, Li Yunjing's heart stirred, and he frowned slightly, thinking, "If I make a move in an instant, can I surround the two people from the Spirit Serpent Sect within the formation?"

"Hahaha! Yu Yuanhua, your Shenxiao Dao Sect is nothing special! We still beat you down just the same!"

An old patriarch of the "Spirit Serpent Sect" sneered repeatedly, seemingly very excited about being able to bully someone from the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect".

The "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has always been a huge burden on all other sects and factions.

Many forces dared not speak out against the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect".

Now that the "Spirit Serpent Sect" has become the first to publicly break with the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect," and even has the potential to kill one of their elders, how could they not be excited?
Even Ba Huaiyi, the top expert of the "Spirit Serpent Sect," coldly remarked, "I've often heard that the people of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect are powerful and should not be easily provoked! But after seeing them today, they're nothing special!"

"Ba Huaiyi, do you two think you can do anything to me? You were just holding back before! Now, I'll show you what the ultimate technique of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect that suppresses the world is!"

Seeing the two men acting so arrogantly, Yu Yuanhua's expression grew even more gloomy.

He then coldly declared, "Exterminate evil spirits! Purple Heaven Divine Thunder!"

"Boom!"

Under Yu Yuanhua's spell, his body shone with purple light, and his true form could no longer be seen.

Under Yu Yuanhua's control, the dense purple light formed a spherical purple ball in front of him.

The purple ball of light was pushed out by Yu Yuanhua's palms and headed towards the two people from the "Spirit Serpent Sect"!

"Junior brother, be careful! This man is going all out!" Ba Huaiyi said confidently, "Let's spread out! Although we may not be able to block his lightning spells, it shouldn't be a problem to prevent him from hitting us."

Another Golden Core cultivator from the "Spirit Serpent Sect" thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "That's fine too. Let's take turns, one on the left and one on the right, and see who he attacks!"

Then it flew off in another direction.

The two of them need to work together, one on the left and one on the right, to disperse Yu Yuanhua's power and make his "Purple Heaven Divine Thunder" unsure of who to hit!
At this moment, Li Yunjing's eyes lit up; he had finally seen an opportunity!
Naba Huaiyi is a master at the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm, posing a considerable threat. Moreover, his movement trajectory is very clear: he moves to the right, creating a safe distance.

In this situation, Li Yunjing quickly predicted the opponent's movement trajectory, suddenly burst out of the ground, and shot into the sky.

"Crash!"

Five-colored divine light bloomed, and the "Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array" had already spread out in the void. Ba Huaiyi took the initiative to fly into the array, walking into the trap.

Li Yunjing immediately shouted, "Elder Yu, blow him up!"

"Ok?"

Yu Yuanhua was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Yunjing would come over at this time.
Isn't this courting death?

But in the next instant, he looked at the "Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon Extermination Array" and his eyes lit up. It was a high-level third-tier array!

With such a powerful formation, this is indeed the best opportunity to kill Ba Huaiyi!
"Boom!"

Driven by Yu Yuanhua, the "Purple Heaven Divine Thunder" orb flew fiercely toward Ba Huaiyi, who was inside the "Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon Extermination Formation"!
Meanwhile, on the other side, within the "Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array," Li Yunjing sat upright on the array platform, continuously casting spells. "Geng Metal Divine Thunder," "Gui Water Divine Thunder," "Yi Wood Divine Thunder," "Bing Fire Divine Thunder," and "Xu Earth Divine Thunder" emerged from the array and relentlessly bombarded Ba Huaiyi.

Even if he posed no fatal threat to Ba Huaiyi, Li Yunjing would do his best to keep Ba Huaiyi occupied, creating an opportunity for Yu Yuanhua to kill him.

"Oh no! There's an ambush!"

Ba Huaiyi was shocked. He hadn't expected that someone would use an array to trap him at this time, creating an opportunity for Yu Yuanhua.

Ba Huaiyi dared not be negligent and made a series of moves, a snake staff, a ruyi scepter, and a book all flying out from his body.

The three magical artifacts protected his body, forming a protective barrier. Thunderclaps continuously exploded around him.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the lightning ball of "Purple Heaven Divine Thunder" had already exploded on Ba Huaiyi's body.

At this moment, Li Yunjing cast spells repeatedly, and all sixty-four high-grade spirit stones were used up.

He slightly withdrew his lightning attack and examined the situation within the formation. He saw that Ba Huaiyi's body had been blasted to pieces. Apart from his head, which was still struggling to escape the "Great Five Elements Divine Lightning Demon-Slaying Formation," he had no other strength left.

"Good heavens, even with only one head left, it can still cause trouble!"

Seeing this, Li Yunjing couldn't help but marvel at the tenacious vitality of Golden Core cultivators.

"Elder Yu! Leave this man to me! You go deal with the other one!"

Seeing that Yu Yuanhua still couldn't figure out Ba Huaiyi's situation, Li Yunjing quickly sent a telepathic message to the outside.

This "Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array" uses the power of the five elements to form an independent space.

Even a Golden Core cultivator standing outside the formation couldn't see what was happening inside, and Yu Yuanhua was no exception.

To break through the "Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array," whether from the inside or the outside, requires a tremendous amount of power, reaching the array's limit.

This "Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Formation" has no weaknesses!
"it is good!"

Upon receiving Li Yunjing's telepathic message, Yu Yuanhua breathed a sigh of relief.

The "Purple Heaven Divine Thunder" worked; it must have crippled Ba Huaiyi. Otherwise, Li Yunjing wouldn't have been so confident.

Yu Yuanhua changed direction and charged towards another Golden Core cultivator from the "Spirit Serpent Sect".

With Yu Yuanhua's strength, dealing with a cultivator at the third level of the Golden Core Realm would be no problem at all.

Li Yunjing was not worried about this. His primary task at present was to kill Ba Huaiyi's primordial spirit!

"Ba Huaiyi! Where do you think you're going to run to!"

With Li Yunjing's abilities, setting up the "Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array" to trap the head of a Golden Core cultivator would be no problem at all.

"You brat! Don't even think about trapping me!"

"You brat! Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?!"

"Young man! Please spare me!"

"Fellow Daoist, I am willing to give you all the benefits I have!"

……

At the beginning, Ba Huaiyi was very tough and fierce, but no matter what he did, he was unable to break the "Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Formation". He could no longer hold on.

"Heh heh! Too late! Given our relationship, how could I possibly give you a way out? From the moment you joined 'Mingxin Temple,' we've been mortal enemies!"

Li Yunjing sneered repeatedly, ignoring Ba Huaiyi's words, and continued to activate the formation to slowly erode Ba Huaiyi's primordial spirit.

At this moment, Li Yunjing did not need to maximize the power of the "Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon Extermination Formation". This formation deprived the people inside the formation of the supply of the five elements' energy. In addition, Ba Huaiyi was crippled, leaving only his primordial spirit, so he would inevitably be unable to maintain his combat power for long.

As he endured the ordeal, Ba Huaiyi's own spirit would dissipate, leaving him with no place to be buried.

Once Li Yunjing realized that Ba Huaiyi had no chance, he turned his attention outside to check the situation.

Sure enough, after helping Yu Yuanhua deal with a Golden Core Realm expert, the situation gained a huge advantage. Several thunderous sounds came from outside, and then another "Spirit Serpent Sect" patriarch screamed and fell to the ground.

The situation has been stabilized!
Before long, several streaks of light flashed across the depths of the ocean, some of them lightning-based, bombarding "Snake Island"!
While Yu Yuanhua was assisting Ji Shuhan in dealing with Zen Master Huiguo, two elders from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" arrived with four Foundation Establishment cultivators!

Upon seeing the situation, the six men immediately understood what was going on!
The two elders immediately rushed towards the evil old man, ready to help Madam Ji deal with this demon.

The four Foundation Establishment cultivators joined forces with the "Azure Cloud Boat" at sea, preparing to counterattack the disciples of the "Spirit Serpent Sect"!
At this moment, the clever people in the "Spirit Serpent Sect" have already begun to flee.

When these people saw that all three patriarchs had perished, they realized that the "Spirit Serpent Sect" was doomed. Even if the experts above won, it would be no use for them, the ordinary disciples.

For these people, going their separate ways and escaping to safety became their only option.

In an instant, thousands of people fled in all directions from "Snake Island". No matter how many more people there were, they could not stop the fleeing army on the vast sea.

Of course, there were still some stubborn people who continued to attack the "Azure Cloud Boat".

These people are typical cannon fodder level cultivators.

"Oh no! Zen Master Huiguo, let's retreat!"

At this moment, even the Old Man of Evil Wind could not hold on any longer. He shouted and his entire body transformed into thousands of incarnations, which fled in all directions like wisps of breeze!

This movement technique is far superior to Li Yunjing's "Wind-Catching Shadow Technique".

Even Madam Ji and the other two could not discern the true location of the Evil Wind Elder. The three of them tried to capture him repeatedly, but no matter what they did, they could not find any trace of the Evil Wind Elder.

On the other side, Zen Master Huiguo had already sensed that something was wrong.

The robe he had released had already been put back on his body. With a flash, he had already dived into the sea and was preparing to escape along the sea route!

Ji Shuhan chased for dozens of miles before stopping. Yu Yuanhua dared not pursue him, and had no choice but to follow Ji Shuhan back to "Snake Island".

This is why Ji Shuhan was unwilling to eliminate the elders of the behemoth sect "Mingxin Temple" for the "Shenxiao Daozong" if the cooperation had not been achieved.

If he breaks down in negotiations with the "Shenxiao Daozong" and offends the "Mingxin Temple", wouldn't he have no way out?
These powerful cultivators are all cunning and shrewd; none of them are fools and will not let themselves be used for nothing.

In this battle, Madam Ji and Ji Shuhan exerted 80% of their strength; they were unwilling to exert even a fraction more!
