Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 509 A Dense List of Tasks (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Just when everyone thought the crisis was over, the remains of the Netherworld Demon Lord suddenly exploded, turning into thousands of eerie green shadows that scattered and fled.

"Run! If these demonic figures escape, they will bring devastation to the land!"

The voice of the mysterious monk's remnant soul was weak yet urgent.

Without needing to say more, everyone knew the situation was critical, and each of them knew that there would be no more peace here. They immediately used their escape techniques to fly towards the exit.

The training ground for the "Golden Core Realm" has gone out of control!

Such a powerful demon has appeared here; we can no longer stay here.

Only by leaving this place can one find a way to survive.

As for the demonic shadows scattered by these Netherworld Demon Lords?
No one cared about that anymore.

Once we leave, the entire cultivation world will naturally take care of us!

Besides, everyone here is a Golden Core Realm expert, so they naturally know that the waters of "Tianlan Star" are very deep. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. It's not worth it for small fry like them to say anything about saving the world.

"Luckily, the loss wasn't too big! What bad luck!"

The golden-eyed girl's "blood jade bottle" shattered completely. She cursed as she sprinkled the last wisp of blood mist onto the demonic shadow, then turned and vanished into the darkness.

The entire underground world began to collapse, and boulders fell like raindrops.

No longer caring about fighting for the treasure, everyone used their escape techniques to flee in different directions in a sorry state.

The moment Li Yunjing burst off the ground, a deafening roar came from behind him.

He looked back and saw that the ruins of the former "Kasyapa Temple" had been swallowed up by the dust, leaving only a faint blue light that gradually dissipated in the dust...

After escaping from the ground, Li Yunjing almost immediately used the "Thunder Escape Technique" to fly swiftly back in the direction he had come from.

Behind him followed seven or eight Golden Core cultivators, fleeing in terror...

As for the many more Golden Core cultivators, they perished underground!
As for the other locations in the "Golden Core Realm" training ground, there are still some Golden Core Realm cultivators. This environment is extremely dangerous, and Li Yunjing has no interest in waiting here.

He has decided to leave the "Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm" ahead of schedule.

He had almost obtained the opportunity he was looking for.

Especially with this "ancient bronze bell," which combines offense and defense and also has sonic attacks, it can be said to be the strongest treasure that Li Yunjing has obtained.

As for what Buddhist treasure?
At this moment, Li Yunjing didn't care where the "ancient bronze bell" came from.

Once he completely refines the "Ancient Bronze Bell," this treasure will become a supreme treasure of the Xuanmen!

Li Yunjing's "Lightning Escape Technique" drew out a blinding blue light in mid-air, but seven or eight figures behind him followed relentlessly like a persistent leech.

One of the gray-robed cultivators suddenly threw out three jade talismans, which exploded in the air into blood-red chains, attempting to hold Li Yunjing back.

"Hand over the 'Ancient Bronze Bell'!"

The gray-robed cultivator grinned maliciously, and the "Spirit-Devouring Gu Insects" that flew out from his sleeve gathered into a black tide, and wherever they passed, the air rippled with a putrid stench.

"Things that don't know whether to live or die!"

Li Yunjing flipped his wrist, and the "bronze ancient bell" hummed and floated, its patterns glowing with a ghostly light. The sound waves shattered the chains and worms as if they were real, and in the next instant, the sound waves pierced through the man's body.

Li Yunjing's escape wasn't because he was afraid of these scoundrels!

What he feared was Hui Chen lurking in the shadows, and the experts who fought alongside him against Hui Chen!
If he were surrounded and killed by those experts, his fate would be no different from that of Huichen before him.

Li Yunjing was very satisfied after casually killing the gray-robed demonic cultivator with the "Ancient Bronze Bell".

This treasure was worth fighting for.

How awesome!
However, his delay allowed the pursuers to encircle him.

Why must Fellow Daoist Li keep it all to himself?

A female cultivator in red flicked her jade-like fingers, and the peach blossoms in the sky transformed into blades. "When the 'Kasyapa Temple Ruins' collapsed, I witnessed the power of the ancient bell with my own eyes. This treasure, I, a humble woman, must also contend for!"

"That's right! If you let go, you can save your life! Otherwise, Huichen will be your cautionary tale!"

The old man behind her suddenly produced a "Bagua Mirror," and the golden light emitted from the mirror penetrated the sound barrier, tearing a half-foot-long wound on Li Yunjing's shoulder.

The moment the blood splattered onto the ancient bell, the patterns on the bronze surface swirled violently, and a distant Buddhist chant echoed from within the bell.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Yunjing swallowed three "healing pills." Suddenly, the ancient bell transformed into a stream of light and entered his brow, causing him to soar into the sky like a thunderbolt.

Before the people below could react, he had already smashed through the clouds and rushed towards the portal like an arrow, with the angry roars of his pursuers coming from behind.

The moment Li Yunjing stepped through the portal, he felt dizzy and disoriented.

Once his vision cleared, he found himself in the main hall. He quickly inscribed the message in the secret code of "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and then left the hall, fleeing towards the outside of the "Tianxu Secret Realm".

As for Fu Chao, Yu Yunyi, and Lü Ruoxi, when they came out, they saw these coded messages and knew where they were waiting for them. They would naturally come to meet them when the time came.

In the world of cultivation, almost every force, whether it be a family or a sect, has its own unique code, which only its own people can understand, and others have no idea what it means.

They couldn't even tell that it was a coded message!
After leaving the "Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm," Li Yunjing stumbled into the "Endless Mountains," his shoulder wound still bleeding, staining half of his Taoist robe red.

The sound of something cutting through the air behind him grew farther and farther away; he had already shaken them off.

In terms of escape speed, Li Yunjing believed he was second to none.

If the "Lightning Escape Technique" isn't the best in the world, it's certainly one of the most top-tier escape techniques!

This kind of overload method is something that others simply cannot use!
Only with the boundless power of thunder within Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness could he continuously travel using his escape techniques.

The pursuers behind them grew increasingly desperate with each chase.

Do they really dare to use the "Blood Escape Technique"?
Even if you want to use it, ask them how much essence and blood they have in their bodies?

Li Yunjing was more than happy to use them. When they caught up nearby and were out of fighting power, they would be easy prey, and he could eat them however he wanted.
Finally, as night fell, Li Yunjing found himself in a mountain hollow filled with strange rocks and covered in moss.

Upon arriving here, Li Yunjing completely concealed his aura.

Even if you stand a mile away from Li Yunjing, you won't be able to sense his presence.

Li Yunjing scanned the area with his eyes. From the cracks in the mountainside, a faint smell of decaying leaves wafted out, making it seem like a natural hiding place.

This crack wasn't exactly a cave; it was only a little over three zhang deep and half a zhang wide. However, for Li Yunjing, this place was a treasure.

Li Yunjing stepped aside and entered the area, then used withered branches to completely conceal the entrance.

Inside this narrow cave, Li Yunjing set up several restrictions to prevent the aura from dissipating, which put his mind at ease.

Li Yunjing removed his blood-stained clothes and took off his "Mysterious Jade Inner Armor," as these magical treasures were basically destroyed.

As for the other magical treasures, apart from the fourth-tier ones, the others were also damaged to some extent. It can be said that Li Yunjing really used all his strength in this series of battles, and almost suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, Li Yunjing obtained the "Ancient Bronze Bell" at the last moment; otherwise, he would have lost all the benefits he had previously earned.

After carefully searching through his belongings, Li Yunjing nodded with a hint of delight.

Some of the treasures that had accompanied him for many years had reached their limit and could no longer be used, but as he fought his way through battles and acquired more treasures, they were updated and iterated upon.

Having broken through to the Golden Core Realm, Li Yunjing now has many more areas to improve, and he needs to continue to advance in his five deputy positions.

He also needs to cultivate his "Heavenly Secrets Technique" to a higher level.

Besides those, Li Yunjing's main cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities also need to be further improved. Some unused techniques and supernatural abilities need to be fused, condensed, and integrated into his current conventional techniques and supernatural abilities.

There are also many magical artifacts that need upgrading and repair.

Regarding the "Puppet Mechanical Beasts," he doesn't have many left and needs to refine a large batch to complete the setup at various "Star Moon Merchant Guild" branches and his own residence.

In addition, Li Yunjing also needs to complete the change of identity. He needs to return to the sect and complete the task of being promoted to deputy sect leader.

With so many things piling up in front of him, Li Yunjing was starting to feel overwhelmed.

He calculated that several decades would have passed by the time all these tasks were completed.

He's probably less than halfway through completing the "Far North" mission.

"Alas... a hundred years seems like a long time, but it is actually very short. When the time really comes, we must race against time."

Li Yunjing sighed softly.

With his cultivation at the first level of the Golden Core Realm, he definitely couldn't go to the "Far North." In Li Yunjing's plan, he needed to break through to the third level of the Golden Core Realm to have any hope of safely completing the task assigned by that Nascent Soul Realm expert in that dangerous environment.

Having calmed his emotions, Li Yunjing took out three "healing pills" and held them under his tongue. He then tossed out a futon, sat cross-legged on it, and silently began practicing his internal energy to heal his injuries.

Ancient Bronze Bell

Suspended above the middle dantian, it is enveloped on both sides by the power of the "Azure Dragon" and "White Tiger," emitting wisps of azure light to protect the location of the "Dragon and Tiger Golden Elixir."

Time passed second by second. Three days later, the rotten flesh at Li Yunjing's wound peeled off at a speed visible to the naked eye. The tingling sensation of new flesh growing made him feel a sense of rebirth.

At dawn on the seventh day, the "bronze bell" suddenly emitted a clear and melodious sound, which caused the hidden injuries in Li Yunjing's body to completely disappear, and he was restored to his perfect state once again.

"Finally back to peak condition!"

He suddenly opened his eyes, checked the "Ten Thousand Mile Communication Talisman" on his body, and sent a message to his teacher explaining his situation.

By this time, Yu Yunyi and the others had already replied to his message.

Yu Yunyi and the other two spent another three days training in the Foundation Establishment Realm training ground before ending their training and leaving the training ground.

Inside the main hall of the "Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm," the three saw the message sent by Li Yunjing, and each of them was greatly shocked.

However, all three were intelligent people and did not show any unusual behavior.

They left the "Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm" as if nothing had happened.

Those Golden Core cultivators did not make things difficult for Yu Yunyi and her two companions.

First, the three did not reveal their identities as disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"; second, their cultivation levels were too low to be taken seriously; and finally, the "Tianxu Secret Realm" was open for a year, so a steady stream of cultivators were heading there.

There were too many people, and Yu Yunyi and her two companions were not particularly noticeable among the many cultivators.

This allowed the three of them to safely leave the "Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm" and enter the "Endless Mountains".

The three of them wandered in the mountains for four days, following Li Yunjing's directions, but they never received a response from him. These four days terrified them, as they thought something had happened to Li Yunjing.

I didn't expect to finally receive the message today.

Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi almost burst into tears of joy.

Seeing the tears in the two women's eyes, Fu Chao shook his head slightly. Women are just so emotional. Old Li is alright, isn't he?

"Boom!"

On this day, a heavy rain fell in the mountainous area near Li Yunjing.

Following the route given by Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao finally found the small valley.

"You are here!"

Large raindrops pounded on the withered branches at the entrance of the camouflaged cave, making a dense pattering sound.

Li Yunjing stood at the cave entrance and saw the three people. He felt relieved and waved for them to come in.

"Finally, we've seen a living person!"

The three of them, soaked to the bone, crawled into the cave. Yu Yunyi wiped the rain from her face, her eyes still red: "We sent you three messages every day for the past four days, afraid you might not have seen them."

Before she could finish speaking, Lü Ruoxi had already eagerly thrown herself into Li Yunjing's arms.

"I'm fine! I was beaten up a few days ago and I'm recuperating here!"

With the soft jade in his arms, Li Yunjing felt a surge of emotion and gently comforted the two women.

"Old Li, your injury must have taken a lot of work to heal."

Fu Chao shook the water droplets off his hair, his gaze sweeping over the still-damp bloodstains on the ground.

He spoke casually, but he was actually worried about Li Yunjing. Seeing Li Yunjing's energetic appearance now, he felt much more at ease and even had the mood to joke.

"Hmm! It's alright, everyone please sit down!"

Li Yunjing patted Lü Ruoxi on the back, took her hand, and gestured for Lü Ruoxi and Yu Yunyi to sit down.

"Yun Jing, with your combat strength, will you also encounter danger in the 'Golden Core Realm' training ground?"

Yu Yunyi leaned against Li Yunjing's chest and asked the question that had been bothering her.

This question also piqued the curiosity of Lü Ruoxi and Fu Chao, who also turned their attention to Li Yunjing, wanting to hear his explanation.

"Hey! Don't overestimate my abilities!"

Li Yunjing sighed, "This time I've encountered several top-tier figures within the Golden Core realm..."
