Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 382 First Test of Skill
It only lacks the cultivation level of the Golden Core Realm. Otherwise, with the power of the primordial spirit, it could be reforged and fully develop spiritual consciousness, and this "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" would definitely be promoted to a low-grade treasure!
The "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" danced around Li Yunjing, emitting a joyful "buzzing" sound, as if it were communicating with its master.

"Okay! Okay!"

Li Yunjing slumped to the ground, but a relieved smile appeared on his face.

He knew that this sword had transcended the category of top-grade spiritual artifacts and reached a completely new realm.

In terms of quality, it is no less than a mid-grade magic weapon, and it can hold its own against a mid-grade magic weapon in a direct confrontation!
This "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" is also equipped with "Five Elements Divine Thunder" and "Yin Yang Two Qi", so its power is so strong that it can definitely kill people of a higher level!
The "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" circled around Li Yunjing a few times, and suddenly a beam of light shot out from the sword and entered Li Yunjing's brow.

This is the second magical treasure he can store in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Together, the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" and the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" floated continuously in the depths of the sea of ​​thunder within the sea of ​​consciousness, absorbing thunder power and constantly growing stronger!
"Great! This is amazing! With this sword, I won't need to change my weapon for a long time!"

Li Yunjing was both surprised and delighted.

I never expected to have such an opportunity when I was about to master weapon crafting.

However, before Li Yunjing could fully comprehend it, he sensed dozens of auras rapidly approaching.

Clearly, Li Yunjing's weapon-forging efforts have generated such a stir that they have shaken the entire "Divine Firmament Island".

"They're all here!"

Li Yunjing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, gave a bitter smile, and scanned the area with his divine sense. He saw that the people from the "Star Moon Trading Company" and Elder Wu Cheng had all come over.

The first to arrive was Elder Wu Cheng. This usually kind and amiable old man had a sharp glint in his eyes as he stared intently at Li Yunjing, revealing a hint of surprise!
Judging from the mess here, it must be due to weapon forging. But what exactly did Li Yunjing forge?
How come there's such a huge commotion?
As a master at the sixth level of the Golden Core Realm, Elder Wu Cheng was very experienced, but even he couldn't understand what Li Yunjing was refining that had shaken the entire market.

Even a tall building like the "Star Moon Trading Company" almost collapsed.

The strangeness of this place really piqued his curiosity.

"Li Yunjing, what trouble have you caused?"

Elder Wu Cheng asked directly.

"Hehe! Elder Wu, I just reforged my flying sword!"

Li Yunjing smiled and explained that he had no intention of taking out the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword." This sword was too special, and he subconsciously wanted to keep it hidden and was unwilling to reveal it prematurely.

"Oh!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing was unwilling to take out the flying sword, Elder Wu Cheng was at a loss.

He couldn't very well force Li Yunjing to take out his flying sword and let him have a look, could he?

A cultivator's weapons are private matters, and since Li Yunjing was unwilling to reveal them, there was nothing he could do.

After all, Li Yunjing's identity and status are extraordinary, and he has already been identified as a key person to be cultivated. Even the Nascent Soul Realm elder has some relationship with Li Yunjing. As a mere elder, he really has no effect on Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing was just about to tell Elder Wu Cheng about his encounter with the "Tianluo Dao Sect".

Several more streaks of light descended from the surrounding area.

Jiang Feilong, the person in charge of the market, as well as Li Linzi, Shi Huilan, Zeng Jin and others from "Xingyue Trading Company" also came over.

After Zeng Jin was kept by Li Yunjing, he was arranged to become a retainer of the "Star Moon Merchant Guild"!

With Zeng Jin's cultivation at the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he was more than capable of holding his own.

Li Yunjing promised that as long as Zeng Jin served him well, all the confiscated supplies and magical treasures would be returned to him. This made Zeng Jin more loyal and he settled down at the "Star Moon Trading Company" with peace of mind.

"I apologize for disturbing you all! I just encountered a small problem while refining a weapon, but it's fine now."

Li Yunjing looked around with a faint smile on his face.

We must give everyone an explanation for what happened today.

Jiang Feilong narrowed his eyes, a half-smile on his face, and said, "Brother Li's weapon-forging skills are truly astonishing! You didn't know just now, the entire market was shaking violently. I thought the enemy had come to our door."

"Haha! Brother Jiang, I'm sorry to have troubled you!"

Li Yunjing chuckled inwardly; Jiang Feilong was indeed a cunning old fox.

Seeing that people from other shops were also curiously coming over to check, Zeng Jin suddenly stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, since Fellow Daoist Li has explained clearly, why don't we disperse now? 'Star Moon Trading Company' has been very busy lately, please forgive us."

These words were perfectly worded, protecting Li Yunjing while remaining courteous.

Even with Zeng Jin's Foundation Establishment Realm eighth level cultivation, he was able to keep the scene in check.

As expected, the unrelated people gave a fawning smile, said a few polite words, and then took their leave.

In the backyard of "Star Moon Trading Company", only their own people remained.

"Zeng Jin is indeed discerning and knows how to get things done!"

Li Yunjing nodded to himself, it seemed that keeping Zeng Jin was a wise choice.

Actually, this is normal. He is a powerful elder in the "Autumn Leaf Sword Sect". He has experienced everything in the cultivation world. He is naturally adept at handling such trivial matters and knows when to say what.

The rest were all his own people. Li Yunjing said a few words to everyone and sent them away, except for Elder Wu Cheng.

Li Yunjing made a series of moves, setting up layers of restrictions in his backyard. With his cultivation level, he could guarantee that no one below the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm would be able to hear the conversation here.

"Ok?"

Wu Cheng was taken aback. Li Yunjing had kept him behind alone and was being so serious. Did he really have something important to say?
"Elder Wu, have you ever heard of the 'Tianluo Dao Sect'?"

Li Yunjing asked in a low voice.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing the words "Tianluo Dao Sect," Elder Wu Cheng's expression turned serious. He looked around, lowered his voice, and asked, "You said 'Tianluo Dao Sect'?"

The elder's expression was extremely solemn; he had never shown such an expression even when the "East Sea Alliance" and the "Bodhi Alliance" clashed.

This made Li Yunjing's heart sink.

I realized I'd made a huge mistake!
However, there's nothing we can do about it!
If someone tries to kill him, Li Yunjing is not someone who won't fight back!

In Li Yunjing's view, even if all the gods and Buddhas in the sky wanted to kill him, he would still tear a hole in the sky and never give up!

Li Yunjing's expression turned serious: "That's right. When I was traveling, I discovered the people of the 'Tianluo Dao Sect'. I fought with them and killed more than a dozen of their true disciples, as well as a Golden Core Realm first-level cultivator named Zhang Jun."

Since the matter was of great importance, Li Yunjing dared not hide anything and recounted in detail what had happened on "Bodhi Island".

"Oh my! You little devil!"

After listening to Li Yunjing's words, Elder Wu Cheng slapped his thigh and said with a complicated expression, "This is troublesome! The people of the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' have been deep in the East Sea for hundreds of years without ever coming out. I didn't expect you to kill so many of their people. Given the 'Tianluo Dao Sect's' domineering nature, they will definitely not let this go!"

"By the way! You really killed a Golden Core cultivator?"

Finally, Elder Wu Cheng asked one more question, as he simply couldn't believe Li Yunjing's words!
It's too exaggerated!

Both the "Tianluo Dao Sect" and the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" are top-tier Xuanmen sects, behemoths in their respective regions.

The true disciples of the "Tianluo Dao Sect" are no weaker than the true disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect". Li Yunjing single-handedly killed sixteen of them, including a Golden Core cultivator. It all sounds a bit unreal.

"Of course! Elder Wu, what do you mean by that?"

Li Yunjing was somewhat displeased. He had risked his life to kill these people, and this elder still suspected him of lying about military intelligence.
Seeing Li Yunjing's displeasure, Elder Wu Cheng quickly waved his hand: "Yunjing, it's not that I don't trust you, but this matter is of great importance and must be confirmed."

Li Yunjing took out the captured "Tianluo Dao Jing" and the third-tier treasure "Tianluo Net" and handed them to Elder Wu Cheng for inspection.

Half an hour later, Elder Wu Cheng returned the item to Li Yunjing, his expression even more solemn: "It really is a Dao scripture of the Tianluo Dao Sect. The Tianluo Net is also something of a Golden Core cultivator. It seems that what you said is true."

Li Yunjing snorted coldly: "Does the elder believe it now?"

"I believe it!"

Elder Wu Cheng smiled wryly and said, "But this is a huge problem. The Tianluo Dao Sect has been in seclusion for hundreds of years, and its sudden reappearance is already suspicious. And you've killed so many of them, I'm afraid..."

"What's there to be afraid of! Are we, the Divine Firmament Dao Sect, inferior to the Heavenly Net Dao Sect?"

Li Yunjing also realized the seriousness of the situation: "Elder, is it okay for us to fight them?"

"You're too young! You haven't had enough contact with such a behemoth sect!"

Elder Wu Cheng shook his head and said, "For a sect of this caliber, a war would be an earth-shattering event! Regardless of victory or defeat, the losses would be devastating!"

"Oh! What should we do then?"

Li Yunjing nodded and then asked, "We can't just wait for someone to come knocking on our door, can we?"

"I'm going to write a letter!"

Elder Wu Cheng made a decisive decision: "This matter must be reported to the sect leader immediately. Yun Jing, take the letter back to the sect and meet with the sect leader to explain the whole story in person."

After Elder Wu Cheng finished speaking, he took out a jade slip and used his divine sense to imprint the information he wanted to send back.

Once the jade slip letter was prepared, Elder Wu Cheng handed it to Li Yunjing. This weighed heavily on Li Yunjing's mind, and he couldn't help but protest, saying, "I handled it very cleanly! The Tianluo Dao Sect won't be able to find a single trace!"

"hehe!"

Elder Wu Cheng gave a wry smile and said slowly, "You think the Tianluo Dao Sect is reasonable? They don't care about such things!"

"Forehead……"

Li Yunjing was taken aback, recalling Zhang Jun and his group's domineering behavior. Elder Wu Cheng's words were indeed quite possible.

As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked.

The Tianluo Dao Sect is not known for its arrogant and domineering style, and Zhang Jun and his group would not be so arrogant.

"Alright! You can go back now!"

Elder Wu Cheng urged again.

"Alright! I'll set off right away!"

Urged on by the elders, Li Yunjing had no choice but to transform into a beam of light and leave "Shenxiao Island".

"A storm is brewing, the wind is howling!"

As Li Yunjing's figure disappeared, Elder Wu Cheng sighed softly.

It seems that his mission to guard the East China Sea is not an easy one!
Meanwhile, Li Yunjing flew out of "Shenxiao Island" and entered the uninhabited sea area. He immediately transferred to "Qingyun Boat" and continued flying towards the Ming Dynasty.

Li Yunjing was quite anxious along the way and traveled at an extremely fast pace.

Li Yunjing piloted the "Azure Cloud Boat" at breakneck speed across the vast sea.

The sea breeze howled, stirring up towering waves. When they had traveled halfway, Li Yunjing frowned, sensing a strange aura.

Dark clouds gathered over the sea ahead, accompanied by lightning and thunder; something seemed amiss.

"has a problem!"

The "Azure Cloud Boat" slowed down, and Li Yunjing cautiously observed his surroundings.

Just then, a dark shadow rose from the sea and blocked the "Azure Cloud Boat".

He was a monk dressed in a white robe, his face hidden under a hood, only his scarlet eyes were visible.

"Li Yunjing, we've been waiting for you for a long time!"

The man in the black robe had a hoarse and grating voice.

The newcomer is none other than the wicked and ungrateful!
Unexpectedly, Li Yunjing, who had tricked this person last time, was now deliberately blocking his way here!
Is this someone seeking revenge against me?

However, one should look at a person with new eyes after three days of separation!

Xie Wuyi was no match for him.

Li Yunjing stepped out of the "Azure Cloud Boat" and said in a deep voice, "Xie Wuyi, it seems you've been waiting for me all this time!"

"hehe!"

Xie Wuyi chuckled sinisterly, "Let me tell you, I've been lying in wait on 'Shenxiao Island' for a long time, just waiting for you to leave the island. You've finally been caught by me, you're dead!"

"Evil and unrighteous? You think you can do that?"

Li Yunjing sneered, looking at the man with disdain, and continued, "Leave now, and I might spare your life; otherwise, you'll die immediately!"

"Hahaha! Kid, you're really arrogant! No wonder you're a true disciple of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'!"

Xie Wuyi laughed loudly and said in a sinister tone, "I, Xie Wuyi, never fight a battle I'm not confident of winning! I've come to you today because I'm absolutely certain of victory and I can definitely kill you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several more dark figures rose from the sea and flew into the air, surrounding Li Yunjing.

These people all exuded a powerful aura, with the lowest level being the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and two of them even reaching the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"I see!"

Li Yunjing nodded calmly and chuckled, "So this is your source of confidence? Winning by numbers?"

"That's right! I, Xie Wuyi, have never been one for morality! Ganging up on opponents is commonplace for me. Since you have the ability, I will naturally do everything in my power to completely destroy you!"

Xie Wuyi nodded, showing no remorse for his despicable methods, but rather a hint of smugness.

"Very well! You're such a despicable person, and you're so honest! All of you, come at me together!"

Li Yun nodded and chuckled softly.

This time, he had important matters to attend to and did not want to waste time. A seven-colored light flashed between his brows, and the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" flew out from his sea of ​​consciousness and appeared in Li Yunjing's hand.

As soon as the spirit sword was drawn, seven-colored light flowed around it, and the sword body emitted a clear sword sound.

"This is good stuff! It's really good stuff!"

Seeing this, Xie Wuyi's eyes flashed with greed: he grinned and said, "Kill you, and I can take your spirit sword! Brothers, I only want this sword; the rest you can divide equally!"

As Xie Wuyi spoke, he drew his longsword and slashed at Li Yunjing. Suddenly, a hundred-foot-high wave surged up on the sea, transforming into a water dragon that roared madly...

"Haha! Boss Xie! You decide how to distribute it!"

The other six Foundation Establishment experts, laughing loudly, pounced on Li Yunjing!

These six men were all notorious bandits in the East China Sea, making a living by robbing and plundering. No matter which faction they targeted, they would kill them and plunder their wealth without showing any mercy!
At this moment, the seven notorious bandits attacked simultaneously, their momentum no less than that of the true disciples of the "Tianluo Dao Sect"!

"Good timing! I'll send you all on your way!"

Li Yunjing sneered, advancing instead of retreating, his "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" radiating brilliant light.

The power of the five elements flowed, and the yin and yang energies intertwined. With a single sword strike, the water dragon was cleaved in two!

Behind the water dragon, a ruthless bandit was unable to dodge in time and was struck by the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" with a loud "boom", exploding into pieces!

"what!"

Xie Wuyi's eyes widened in astonishment, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "What kind of sword is that?"

Xie Wuyi is the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator in the East Sea, and even a Golden Core cultivator at the first level can't do anything about him.

He was a worldly man and naturally recognized the power of the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword".

"The sword that will kill you!"

After glancing at the man, Li Yunjing took the initiative to attack, his sword flashing like a rainbow as he weaved through the curtain of water.

Each sword strike embodies the principles of the five elements' mutual generation and restraint, with the yin and yang energies circulating, resulting in astonishing power.

With a few swift sword strokes, another bandit was cleaved into pieces!

The "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" could kill Foundation Establishment cultivators as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. The spiritual weapons on these bandits were shattered into pieces with the slightest collision. Li Yunjing was as if he were in an empty field!
Sword energy crisscrossed the sea, and spells roared.

Li Yunjing chased after a group of people, fleeing everywhere!

At this moment, everyone else understood that Li Yunjing was simply invincible. The spiritual weapon in his hand was too powerful, comparable to a treasure!
"Boom!"

Each sword strike was accompanied by an explosion of divine thunder, and several bandits fell one after another.

"Damn it! How is Li Yunjing so powerful? How am I supposed to get revenge?"

Upon seeing this, Xie Wuyi's eyes flashed with fear, and he began to consider retreating.

However, Li Yunjing had his eyes on him and was not about to let Xie Wuyi go. He chased after him and killed him.

"The Five Elements unite, Yin and Yang revolve, slay!"

A seven-colored sword light pierced through the heavens and earth, carrying the energies of yin and yang, aiming to cleave Xie Wuyi in two!

"Borrowing the power of heaven and earth, shifting forms and changing shadows!"

Xie Wuyi shouted and made a series of hand seals. Suddenly, his ally, who was a hundred feet away, was turned around and flew towards Xie Wuyi.

Xie Wuyi's figure appeared suddenly in this person's position as if by teleportation.

"Pfft..."

Li Yunjing slashed down with his sword, and the person who was supposed to take the blame landed right in the middle and was cleaved in two.

"Li Yunjing, you just wait! I'll take my revenge! From morning till night, as long as I'm alive, I'll never let this go!"

Xie Wuyi shouted, his figure blurred, and he plunged into the sea, escaping without a trace.
