Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 380 The Wrath of the Top Sects

With this thought in mind, I learned that Li Yunjing's background was equally illustrious!
Zhang Jun then had the idea of ​​leaving!
He was injured and trapped in a formation. It would be extremely unwise for him to fight the enemy to the death!
In this situation, Zhang Jun had more to think about, especially glancing warily at the "Yin Yang Treasure Mirror" in mid-air!
"Good! Impressive! Today, I'll go all out and fight you to the death!"

He couldn't just turn around and leave even if he wanted to escape. Zhang Jun roared, and the "Jade Ruyi" in his hand shone brightly again as he smashed it hard towards Li Yunjing.

Wherever the "Jade Ruyi" passed, space seemed to be torn apart, emitting a huge howling sound.

The "Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array" is about to break!
Li Yunjing was secretly alarmed by such power. He quickly manipulated the "Blood Demon Seal" and the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner" to form a defensive barrier in front of him.

"boom!"

In the final moments before leaving, Zhang Jun's offensive was more ferocious than ever before!

The "Jade Ruyi" directly knocked away the "Blood Demon Seal" and the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner". The powerful impact forced Li Yunjing to retreat repeatedly, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing! If I hadn't prepared in advance, with array formations, numerous treasures, and even the 'Yin-Yang Mirror' to my aid, I would have been killed by this person in just a few rounds!"

Even the "Creation Divine Eye," which Li Yunjing had been using as a trump card, was unable to be unleashed.

As a treasure that connects the virtual and the real, the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" was damaged during its first collision with the "Jade Ruyi" and could not withstand rebuilding the virtual-real channel to transport the thunderous power in the sea of ​​consciousness out through the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" and into the "Creation God's Eye" for release!

This made Li Yunjing realize his weakness!
The "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" is of too low a grade!
If it weren't for the power of thunder, a mere high-grade spiritual artifact would have been shattered long ago!
With this object shattered, Li Yunjing would lose the ability to activate the "Creation Divine Eye" for a short period of time!

I must find an opportunity to upgrade the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" to a top-grade spiritual artifact in the future; otherwise, it will be of little use when facing Golden Core cultivators!

At this moment, the only treasure left capable of killing the enemy was the "Yin Yang Treasure Mirror." In Li Yunjing's hands, this treasure was continuously infused with magical power, and with a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," death energy was continuously channeled to bombard Zhang Jun!
The death energy emitted by the "Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror" and the remaining power of the Five Elements from the "Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array" resonated with each other, continuously compressing Zhang Jun's space of movement.

Wherever the deathly aura struck, it turned into a death zone.

All living things—flowers, trees, birds, beasts, fish, insects—immediately lose their vitality when exposed to the black death light.

Such terrifying power was extremely bizarre. Zhang Jun's expression changed drastically. He dared not defend against a single attack and could only rely on his movement technique to keep flashing and shifting left and right.

"The five elements unite, and divine thunder destroys the world!"

Li Yunjing shouted, and the power of the five elements in the pillar of light instantly condensed, transforming into a dazzling bolt of lightning that struck Zhang Jun directly!
The Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array has collapsed!

At the last moment, Li Yunjing detonated the entire "Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array"!

All the energy transformed into a five-colored "Five Elements Divine Thunder," which struck down towards Zhang Jun. Around him, death energy filled the air, leaving no room for maneuver.

"not good!"

Zhang Jun's expression changed, and he waved his hands repeatedly, throwing out all the treasures and magical artifacts, including the "Jade Ruyi," "Heavenly Net Sword," "Heavenly Net Talisman," and "Heavenly Net."

Dozens of treasures protected him firmly!

Zhang Jun gave it his all!
If you can't stop him, you'll die!
"boom!!!"

As lightning struck, accompanied by a sky full of death energy, the surrounding magical artifacts shattered instantly, turning into dust and vanishing with the wind!
Those precious artifacts were also shattering and flying away!

Under the intense beam of light, Zhang Jun's figure could no longer be seen!
Only the blinding light remains!

The lightning dissipated, and the deathly aura vanished.

Zhang Jun's figure appeared in mid-air, his body covered in blood, his azure Taoist robe tattered and riddled with holes.

His skin was wrinkled, like the bark of an old tree; his white hair and beard were sparse, with only a few strands left. In an instant, he aged.

This is not about aging outwardly!

It's not about growing old, but about truly aging!

His lifespan was reduced by three hundred years. Coupled with the stimulation of his essence and blood, the use of forbidden methods, and the serious injuries he sustained, all these factors combined caused Zhang Jun to age far too quickly.

A brilliant and promising young man has, in the blink of an eye, reached the twilight years.

A look of shock and despair flashed in Zhang Jun's eyes. He had never expected to be so severely injured by a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator!
Even if he could leave, he wouldn't live much longer; the incurable injuries were constantly draining his life force...

The word "death" appeared so clearly in Zhang Jun's mind.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Zhang Jun's dim old eyes stared intently at Li Yunjing, wishing he could kill him in the most cruel way possible!
Zhang Jun asked in a hoarse voice, "You are indeed powerful! You must be from the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect', right? Could you tell me your name before I die?"

"can!"

Li Yunjing sneered, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said calmly, "I am Li Yunjing, a true disciple of the Seven Star Palace of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect!"

Before he could finish speaking, he brought his fingers together, pointed diagonally upwards to the sky, and then swung them downwards with great force. With the pull of his true energy, the lightning bolt transformed into a bolt of lightning and struck down towards Zhang Jun's head.

"Li Yunjing! You're so cunning!"

Zhang Jun sighed and exerted all his strength to gather his magical power and Dao energy at the top of his head, forming the Great Luo Green Lotus in an attempt to withstand the lightning strike.

However, this lightning bolt was unusual. It was Li Yunjing's simulation of the lightning energy in the "Eye of Creation" to draw lightning with lightning. Its power was the strongest lightning technique that Li Yunjing could use!

"Boom!"

Despite Zhang Jun's desperate resistance, another bolt of lightning, targeting his spiritual power, slipped through the Great Luo Green Lotus's defenses and directly entered Zhang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness, shattering his primordial spirit power into ashes, which then dissipated completely as a wisp of spiritual energy.

Zhang Jun's primordial spirit was annihilated, but his body remained intact thanks to the protection of the Great Luo Green Lotus. However, he had lost all vital signs and was left as an empty shell.

"Good! This lightning technique is specifically designed to destroy the enemy's primordial spirit! It's impossible to defend against. It seems I need to study it carefully in the future; it will surely become my trump card!"

Li Yunjing clearly did not expect that this lightning strike would have such a characteristic, destroying the opponent's primordial spirit in one blow!
Such skill, if used properly, could be very effective in ambushing Golden Core cultivators!

Once the thought crossed his mind, Li Yunjing disregarded his injuries and began collecting spoils of war.

Especially Zhang Jun, although he suffered heavy losses of magical treasures, still had many valuable items: pills, talismans, formations, puppets, books...

All sorts of wonderful things, countless!
As for spirit stones, there's not much more to say.

The remaining dozen or so corpses of the "Tianluo Dao Sect" were all true disciples, the best of the Foundation Establishment realm.

Each of them is far wealthier than a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators.

On "Bodhi Island," there are also thousands of corpses belonging to the "Bodhi Sect."

Among these corpses were many Foundation Establishment cultivators and one Golden Core cultivator.

With so much wealth, Li Yunjing couldn't collect it all. Left with no other choice, he released his dozen or so second-tier "puppet mechanical beasts" to begin moving corpses and collecting supplies.

The whole process lasted a day!
The next day, when the sky cleared and the sun was high in the sky, Li Yunjing put the dozen or so second-tier "puppet mechanical beasts" into his "storage bracelet".

"This time, all my magical treasures, except for the Yin-Yang Mirror, were destroyed. For the time being, I have no suitable treasures to use!"

Li Yunjing sighed, disregarding everything else, he burned all the corpses and quickly left "Bodhi Island," diving into the sea a hundred miles away.

Li Yunjing temporarily created a cave on the seabed and concealed the entrance with a "spirit-gathering array".

Only then could he focus on his cultivation. This time, he was severely injured by the "Tianluo Dao Sect".

In addition to three external injuries, many of his magical artifacts were damaged, and his mental strength was also affected.

The severity of his injuries even left Li Yunjing feeling listless and drowsy.

This was a state that Li Yunjing had never encountered since he began cultivating.

He consumed a large number of pills, including "Nourishing Spirit Pills," "Healing Pills," and "True Essence Pills," swallowing them one by one. It took him three days and three nights to recover.

Having stopped his injuries from worsening, Li Yunjing did nothing but sleep soundly for seven days and seven nights!
Only in this way could he fully recover his energy.

Only then did Li Yunjing have time to check his gains. He first took out the cultivation manual and a small box from Zhang Jun's "storage ring." This manual was the "Tianluo Daojing" of the "Tianluo Dao Sect," which recorded many things about the "Tianluo Dao Sect."

Its function is similar to that of the "Divine Firmament Jade Book," and it contains a lot of first- and second-order content.

However, the content related to the third tier did not exist, which greatly disappointed Li Yunjing!

However, the diverse records in the Tianluo Daojing, especially the vast sea map, broadened Li Yunjing's horizons.

This alone is worth more than any other gain.

If the "Tianluo Daojing" is contributed to a sect, there will be a huge reward.

Li Yunjing put away the "Tianluo Daojing" and saved it for later to read slowly!

As a member of the orthodox Xuanmen sect, the contents of the "Tianluo Daojing" would be of great benefit to Li Yunjing.

In future studies, he will surely gain insights that can be applied to other areas, which will greatly help Li Yunjing's cultivation.

Besides the cultivation techniques, there are also several books that record some supernatural powers and spells.

Li Yunjing glanced at them and then put them away.

Li Yunjing also picked up the "Jade Ruyi," the "Heavenly Net," and the "Heavenly Net Magic Sword," and looked at them in front of him.

Although he was tempted by all three treasures, they were all damaged and Li Yunjing had no way of repairing them.

This greatly disappointed Li Yunjing!
Of course, it's not impossible to repair it later when one's cultivation level is higher!

Even then, these magical treasures will still have a great effect.

This inventory took three whole days to complete, yielding 50,000 high-grade spirit stones, 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones, and 20 million low-grade spirit stones!
Besides spirit stones, there are countless first-, second-, and third-tier pills available.

Especially inside that box, there was a "Mind-Concentrating Pill"!
This is a precious medicine that helps with Core Formation, equivalent to the "Foundation Building Pill" taken by a peak Qi Refining cultivator!
The "Concentrating Spirit Pill" had little effect on Li Yunjing, who was extremely confident in condensing the Golden Core.

Although Li Yunjing didn't need it, he valued this pill extremely highly.

If Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, or even Xing'er and Yue'er encounter problems in their future Golden Core formation, this pill can be given to them to take.

Besides these, the complete heritage of "Bodhi Temple" also includes a Buddhist bead set, which are all valuable items.

Those Buddhist prayer beads are classified as low-grade treasures; wearing them can calm the mind and spirit.

However, Li Yunjing scoffed at this idea.

He's not afraid of going mad from practicing qi cultivation!
Besides, it's so shameful to carry Buddhist treasures on your person!

Li Yunjing placed it directly into the bottom layer of his "storage ring," intending to find an opportunity to sell it!

Li Yunjing did not intend to give Buddhist items to his woman.

If you wear it for a long time and develop a Buddhist nature, and become misled by Buddhism, then you will lose both your money and your life!
Li Yunjing would never do a deal that loses money!

As for other talismans, formations, magical artifacts, and spiritual weapons, there are countless others.

All things considered, plus his previous assets of tens of millions, Li Yunjing now has assets of 8000 million.

Li Yunjing's asset calculations did not include high-grade spirit stones or items he could use.

Those items are frequently used and unlikely to be sold in a short period of time, so they are not included in the calculation.

If everything is really taken into account, Li Yunjing's net worth is easily in the tens or hundreds of billions!

While Li Yunjing was happily taking stock of the supplies, millions of miles away, on a huge island, chaos had already broken out.

Today, in the Divine Soul Hall of the "Tianluo Dao Sect," the death knell of fallen true disciples continues to toll.

A full sixteen true disciples!
Among them was a Golden Core Realm expert like Zhang Jun!

The loss of so many people is an earth-shattering event for the "Tianluo Dao Sect"!
Inside the "Da Luo Hall," the elders and protectors of the "Tian Luo Dao Sect" gathered together.

There were over a hundred experts at the Golden Core stage!
The sect leader of the "Tianluo Dao Sect" sat high on his throne, looking around.

This sect leader, who appeared to be middle-aged, wore a robe of boundless ocean light, with flowing silk that resembled layers of surging seawater.

The sect leader's face was ashen at this moment.

Clearly, the deaths of so many people had enraged him.

On the table in front of this sect leader were a large seal and a scroll of books, representing the supreme authority of the "Tianluo Dao Sect".

"Zhang Jun is dead, and so many disciples have perished with him. Elders, what do you say we should do about this?"

The sect leader spoke, his voice icy cold, like a winter wind.

"Whoever it is! Killing a true disciple of our 'Tianluo Dao Sect' is a capital offense! Find the culprit, and their entire family will be exterminated!"

The law enforcement elder sitting on the right spoke up. He was also a middle-aged man with a fierce face and a murderous aura. Compared to the sect leader's anger, he could no longer sit still and wanted to find out the truth immediately.

This person's cultivation is extremely high. If Li Yunjing were here, he would be extremely shocked. This is a master at the half-step Nascent Soul Realm!
This person has sharp eyes, like a blade; he is a true top expert!

Inside the hall, a group of one hundred elders and protectors sat in two rows, one on the left and one on the right.

They were all at least at the third level of the Golden Core Realm!
Only those with a cultivation level of at least the third level of the Golden Core Realm are qualified to enter the Great Luo Hall and participate in discussions of important matters during meetings at the Tianluo Dao Sect!
"Elder Luo! Zhang Jun and the others have accepted the sect's mission to go to the Flying Cloud Sea to find out the situation there. If they die, it's probably related to the seven major sects there!"

The sect leader of the "Tianluo Dao Sect" coldly began to explain the situation.

"What? They went to the Flying Cloud Sea? Isn't that the territory of the Flying Cloud Sect, the Holy Sound Sect, the Blood Slaughter Gang, the Ascetic Sect, the Soul Control Sect, the Lake Heart Island, and the Azure Sea Palace?"

Another elder asked in shock, "Where are they going and what are they doing? Normally, we and the seven major sects of the 'Flying Cloud Sea' keep to ourselves and don't interfere with each other!"

"Yes! Where are they going and what are they doing?"

"And what is the mission this time?"

……

Many elders who were unaware of the truth also joined in the discussion.

In a behemoth sect, not every decision needs to be known by all the elders. Obviously, many elders of the Tianluo Dao Sect were unaware of this mission!

The sect leader of the "Tianluo Dao Sect" coldly watched the crowd's discussion without saying a word.

He only spoke when his voice gradually faded away, explaining, "This mission was a trial mission, meant to find out about the various forces in that sea area! I never expected that a reconnaissance mission would cause such heavy losses to my 'Tianluo Dao Sect'."

"No matter the reason! Killing a true disciple of our sect is an unforgivable crime! We must make the people of the 'Flying Cloud Sea' pay the price! Let them understand that offending our 'Heavenly Net Dao Sect' has only one consequence: 'death'!"

The elder in charge of law enforcement continued speaking menacingly.

The "Tianluo Dao Sect" is not just making empty boasts. As the largest Daoist force in the East Sea, the entire sect is filled with experts. In addition to these elders, there are also many Supreme Elders in the sect, all of whom are old monsters in the Nascent Soul Realm!

According to legend, within the forbidden area of ​​the "Tianluo Dao Sect," there is a patriarch who has already reached the Nascent Soul Realm!

Absolutely invincible!

It is precisely because of such formidable strength that the people of the "Tianluo Dao Sect" are so arrogant and domineering!

If Zhang Jun and his group hadn't acted so badly from the start, completely offending Li Yunjing, Li Yunjing wouldn't have dared to kill them out of consideration for his fellow Xuanmen practitioners!
"Good! No matter who it is, offending my 'Tianluo Dao Sect' is unforgivable! I will go back to the forbidden area to pay my respects to the Supreme Elder and discuss the matter of annihilating the 'Flying Cloud Sect,' 'Holy Sound Sect,' 'Blood Slaughter Gang,' 'Ascetic Sect,' 'Soul Control Sect,' 'Lake Heart Island,' and 'Azure Sea Palace'—the seven sects!"

The sect leader of the "Tianluo Dao Sect" spoke softly, but his words were filled with murderous intent, sending chills down one's spine!
