Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 555 The True Colors Are Revealed (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Inside the "Heavenly Secrets Pavilion," mountains of spirit stones, talismans, magic treasures, and formations were all looted by Li Yunjing.

"Great! We made a profit this time!"

Li Yunjing smiled, raised his hand and inhaled. The "Purple Gold Gourd" shone brightly, and priceless cultivation resources flew into it like a long river flowing backward. Tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The stench of blood quickly filled the "Tianji Pavilion," where corpses lay scattered everywhere.

Li Yunjing's gaze swept over the cold jade coffin in the corner of the wall. Inside the coffin lay a 30,000-year-old blood ginseng, its crimson tendrils slowly unfurling in the jade liquid. He sneered, "Pang Qianji certainly knows how to hide things."

With a wave of his hand, he pocketed the cold jade coffin along with the treasures inside.

Li Yunjing's figure flashed, transforming into a streak of light as he rushed out of the "Tianji Pavilion" and headed towards the outside of the city!

The moment Li Yunjing burst out of the window, a surge of energy swept through the city like a raging storm.

The cultivators on the street looked up in horror and saw a figure wrapped in the light of the five elements slash through the sky. Behind him, the "Heavenly Mystery Pavilion" collapsed with a bang, followed by billowing smoke and the smell of blood carried by the sea breeze.

"Oh no! Something's happened to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion!"

The first cultivator to react took out a "communication talisman," and the news spread like wildfire among various forces.

Almost immediately after Li Yunjing left, everyone who had designs on him learned of the news.

Inside the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce," Ao Lie was savoring a spiritual tea when he heard the news, and his teacup fell to the ground.

"Quickly! Summon the guards! We must not let him leave the city under any circumstances!"

Long Ao roared, shattering tables and chairs: "How dare you cause trouble under my nose! Chase after them! I want them alive or dead!"

In an instant, dozens of Golden Core Realm figures flew out from all directions in "Four Seas City," their various magical treasures illuminating the sky with dazzling colors.

These people are all heading in the same direction!
That's the direction Li Yunjing went out of the city in!

One of them was the fastest.

"Little beast!"

This man was a black-clad demonic cultivator, wielding a "Soul-Chasing Rope," the skulls on the chains emitting eerie hissing cries: "You think you can escape after killing Pang Qianji?"

He hurled the "Soul-Chasing Rope," and the chain transformed into a giant black python, aiming straight for Li Yunjing's back.

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

Without turning his head, Li Yunjing sent the "Five Dragon Wheels" from his sleeve flying backward with a buzzing sound. The power of the five elements transformed into a cage that trapped the "Soul-Chasing Rope".

The giant python roared in resentment and crumbled inch by inch amidst the radiance of the five elements. The entire "Soul-Chasing Rope" was captured by Li Yunjing's "Five Dragon Wheels".

"You think you can stop me?"

Amidst the black-clad cultivator's angry curses, Li Yunjing's body erupted with lightning, his speed suddenly increasing, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the city gate.

"stop!"

"kill!"

The city's defenders had already received orders, and the defensive formation on the city wall was activated with a roar. Runes intertwined to form a huge net of light that enveloped the sky and descended upon Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing sneered and stepped on the ground, causing a crack to suddenly appear.

Without hesitation, he leaped in, and the layers of soil and stone above quickly closed in behind him, leaving a group of Golden Core cultivators dumbfounded on the city wall.

"Chase them! Open the city gates and get them out!"

The black-robed monk was furious.

Not only did he gain nothing, but Li Yunjing also stole his "Soul-Chasing Rope".

This is a complete loss!

How can he not be angry?
At this moment, Li Yunjing, using the "Earth Escape Technique," was rapidly moving forward along the underground secret passage.

"Go ahead and chase! Go ahead and chase! We'll play with you slowly later!"

He could sense the pursuers behind him, but a confident smile curved his lips.

A salty sea breeze wafted from the end of the secret passage. When Li Yunjing emerged from the ground, he ran into the patrol ships on the outskirts of the "Four Islands".

Three "mysterious iron warships" lit up with precious light, and the cultivators on the deck shouted in unison. Dozens of giant crossbow bolts came flying through the air, carving out trenches more than ten feet deep in the sea.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

A dense rain of arrows, like countless spears, shot forth.

These are all special treasures designed to break through protective auras.

It is one of the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce's" weapons of war.

At this moment, in order to block Li Yunjing, these "mysterious iron warships" have been dispatched to buy time and wait for the Golden Core Realm experts to arrive.

"Trying to stall for time? You're courting death!"

Li Yunjing sneered. The "Five Dragon Wheels" transformed into a stream of light that surrounded his body. The protective shield formed by the power of the five elements shattered all the crossbow bolts, and the wood fell into the sea.

"Stop him! Whoever takes his head will be rewarded with a thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

On a warship, a red-haired Golden Core cultivator waved a command flag, and hundreds of dark chains suddenly emerged from both sides of the ship's side, their sharp barbs gleaming with a ghostly blue poisonous light.

"Boom!"

Li Yunjing lightly touched the sea surface with his toes, his figure moving like a ghost, and wherever the lightning from his fingertips passed, the chains were charred black.

He swung the "Soul-Chasing Rope" with his backhand, and the skull let out a shrill howl, instantly binding the three cultivators and dragging them into the sea, where blood burst forth amidst the waves.

However, before Li Yunjing could have the chance to slaughter the three warships, the pursuers surged in like a tide.

As Li Yunjing leaped onto a reef, the sky suddenly darkened, and twelve flying magical artifacts formed the Heavenly Gang Formation, once again trapping him.

"Li Yunjing, hand over the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's secret treasure, and I'll spare your life!"

A chilling laugh echoed from within the formation: "Otherwise, your 'Star Moon Merchant Guild' will also be destroyed!"

Before the words were finished, a "white bone banner" flew out from the center of the formation. The vengeful spirits that appeared on the banner emitted a piercing shriek and turned into black mist that enveloped the area within a ten-mile radius.

"Little tricks!"

Li Yunjing's five elements surged wildly, and the five dragons roared in unison.

The golden dragon claws tore apart the vengeful spirits; the wooden dragon vines entangled the white bone banner; the water dragon's breath extinguished the poisonous mist; the fire dragon's flames burned the magical artifacts; the earth dragon's body smashed the formation.

In just one round, the formation shattered, and the cultivators within were reduced to ashes by the aftershocks of the collision.

As the last magical artifact crashed into the sea, his pupils suddenly contracted.

A burst of fire shot into the sky behind him!

High in the clouds, Ao Lie's enormous dragon-shaped phantom was soaring through the clouds, its crimson dragon eyes radiating a killing intent that was almost tangible.

"They've finally caught up!"

Li Yunjing gritted his teeth and summoned the "Sky Patrol Ship." He boarded the warship, and with a sudden tremor in the air, he instantly teleported a hundred miles away, completely escaping the range of the "Four Islands."

"not good!"

"Teleport!"

"Now we have a powerful warship!"

"Perhaps it has reached the fourth rank?"

"No wonder this kid is so arrogant!"

"Chase!"

……

The dozens of Golden Core cultivators behind him were taken aback.

Immediately, they gave chase, revealing various magical treasures in order to enhance their escape techniques and catch up with the "Sky Patrol Ship".

Li Yunjing piloted the "Sky Patrol Ship," its hull surrounded by surging spiritual energy, its speed comparable to that of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

The Golden Core cultivators behind them, riding their magical treasures, chased after him like a swarm of bees, cursing under their breath, all utterly astonished by Li Yunjing's speed.

"Clear the area first!"

Li Yunjing frowned slightly, his eyes were cold, and with a wave of his hand, the three "Heavenly Thunder Cannons" at the stern of the "Sky Patrol Ship" shot out three "Five Elements Divine Thunders", which exploded with a bang among the pursuers.

"Boom!"

Those cultivators below the Golden Core realm had almost no resistance and were reduced to ashes.

Seeing this, the remaining Golden Core cultivators unleashed their supernatural powers and magical treasures to defend themselves. In an instant, spiritual energy filled the air above the sea, explosions rang out one after another, and giant waves rose hundreds of feet high.

Countless sea creatures, unaware of what was happening, were shredded into pieces by the aftershocks of the explosion.

Wherever the "Sky Patrol Ship" passed, the sea turned blood red. "Hmph, those overconfident fools."

Seeing the results, Li Yunjing snorted coldly, a smile appearing on his face.

He then took out a "Ten Thousand Mile Communication Talisman," infused it with his magic power, and quickly wrote: "Ancestor, I am being hunted by people from the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce,' and Ao Lie is also there. I will lure them to your side, so be prepared for battle."

After saying that, he put away the "Ten Thousand Mile Communication Talisman" and did not look for Master Liehuo's response.

Although the Golden Core cultivators behind them were temporarily slowed down by the "Sky Patrol Ship's" attack, they continued their relentless pursuit.

"Li Yunjing, you have no way to escape today. Hand over the treasure obediently, and I'll spare your life!"

One of the golden-robed monks from the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" shouted angrily.

Li Yunjing smiled disdainfully, maneuvering the "Sky Patrol Ship" into a sharp turn. The light shields surrounding the ship shimmered, deflecting an incoming heavy treasure.

"You think you can keep me here? Today I'll show you what happens when you mess with me!"

At this moment, the "Sky Patrol Ship" had already consumed a considerable amount of its energy reserves. Li Yunjing knew that if he wanted to continue activating it, he would need to provide more spirit stones.

Why should I use so many resources to serve Master Liehuo?
The best course of action is to lure these pursuers to Master Liehuo as soon as possible and get him to do the work.

The "Sky Patrol Ship" continued to fly rapidly towards the direction where Master Liehuo was located.

Along the way, the pursuers behind them continued to press on relentlessly, raining various attacks on the "Sky Patrol Ship's" shields.

Finally, a barren island appeared ahead.

"You'll see!"

Li Yunjing curled a cold smile at the corner of his mouth and steered the "Sky Patrol Ship" toward the island.

As the "Sky Patrol Ship" hurtled toward the island like an arrow, Li Yunjing suddenly brought the ship to a sharp stop. The ship's energy surged wildly, setting up several lightning-patterned barriers above the island.

"Boom!"

Caught off guard, the pursuers crashed into the barrier and onto the island, only to be struck by dazzling lightning and thrown about.

Even Ao Lie's figure appeared on the island!
However, since he was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, this attack was negligible to him and did not cause him any harm at all.

"No! There's an ambush!"

In the next instant, Ao Lie's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to turn around and retreat, eighteen bronze pillars suddenly rose up around the island. The pillars were covered with ancient runes and released a powerful pressure.

The entire sky was instantly shrouded in dark clouds, plunging the world into darkness, with only the eighteen bronze pillars glowing with the light of runes.

"Boom!"

Dark clouds rolled in, and thunder rumbled from within them.

This is the "Divine Thunder and Fire Demon-Slaying Array" of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!
It is also the formation that Master Liehuo is most skilled at!

This array plate was designed by Qin Jiuxiao and is a powerful fourth-order array.

At this moment, Li Yunjing lured all the enemies in, and Master Liehuo activated the formation, trapping everyone inside.

"Hahaha! You brat Ao Lie, today is your death day!"

A loud laugh came from the depths of the island. Master Liehuo appeared before everyone, his feet treading on flames and his body radiating a scorching aura.

He formed hand seals and chanted incantations. The bronze pillars immediately shone brightly, and as the runes flowed, the entire formation began to operate.

Above the sky, streaks of lightning were already forming, illuminating the formation as they struck downwards.

Meanwhile, the "Sky Patrol Ship" had already appeared behind Master Liehuo.

On the other side of the Fiery Immortal, there was another giant ship, the "Divine Firmament Warship"!
This Tier 4 warship is also an important combat force!

Temporarily controlled by Wen Bin, Liao Wanqing, Xing'er, and Yue'er, it can also unleash lightning attacks to assist Master Liehuo in achieving the goal of defeating all enemies.

When Ao Lie saw Liehuo Zhenren appear, the scene of almost being killed back then immediately came to mind!
This was the closest he had ever come to death in his entire life!
The brutality of the Fiery Immortal left him with an unforgettable memory!

Seeing this barbarian again, Ao Lie understood everything.

That little bastard Li Yunjing flaunted his wealth in "Sihai City" just to lure me in!

This is because that old bastard, Master Liehuo, didn't dare to enter "Four Seas City" to kill me, but instead used my greed to lure me out!
He understood everything!
At this point, there was no room for sentimentality; rushing out became his only option.

"Ouch..."

Without any hesitation, Ao Lie manifested a massive dragon form, roaring within the formation. Its crimson dragon claws fiercely slashed at the formation's barrier, but only left a few white marks on it, unable to tear it apart at all!
The eighteen bronze pillars are continuously infused with energy, forming a barrier that is almost impossible to tear apart!

This place has now become a protective barrier!
"Old man Fiery Blaze, how dare you collude with this brat and plot against me!"

When his first attack failed, Ao Lie roared in anger, his voice shaking the entire island.

"Collusion?"

Standing atop the "Sky Patrol Ship," Li Yunjing's lips curled into a mocking smile. "I'm merely helping the Ancestor out. Today, none of you will leave alive!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it, and the "Heavenly Thunder Cannon" on the "Sky Patrol Ship" was activated again, and bolts of "Five Elements Divine Thunder" struck the pursuers in the formation.

"It's over!"

"We've been fooled!"

"The opponent is a Nascent Soul stage expert!"

"This is a conspiracy!"

"We fell into a trap because of our greed."

"How to do?"

"What else can we do? Fight back with all our might! Let's follow Senior Ao Lie and fight our way out!"

……

The golden-robed cultivators frantically used their magical artifacts to defend themselves, only to find that the spiritual energy within the formation was abnormally chaotic, making it impossible to smoothly mobilize the spiritual energy.

They then realized that they were in dire straits.

Meanwhile, the people inside the "Divine Firmament Battleship" saw that Li Yunjing's side had opened fire, so they immediately took control of the "Divine Firmament Battleship" and opened fire at the same time, preparing to kill all the Golden Core cultivators first, and then help True Person Liehuo deal with Ao Lie.

"Hahaha! Ao Lie, you little mudfish, I let you off the hook back then because you were still young and didn't seem like much. Now you've finally grown up!"

"Let your fiery grandpa see if your skills have improved!"

Master Liehuo moved his hands, and the power of the formation grew stronger and stronger.

In the sky, dark clouds rolled and countless silver snakes darted about, scorching cracks in the space wherever they passed.

This is using the power of heavenly lightning, the power of nature, to bombard Ao Lie!

As for those Golden Core cultivators?
They didn't take Lie Huo Zhenren seriously at all, leaving it to Li Yunjing and the others to handle.

They helped us and did a great job, so naturally we should get something in return!
This is the principle of cooperation.

Otherwise, all the benefits will fall into the hands of Master Liehuo, and who will want to cooperate with him in the future?

Moreover, given Li Yunjing's extraordinary status, even Master Liehuo wouldn't dare to go too far.

Li Yunjing's willingness to take the risk and lure Ao Lie out showed him great respect, so Lie Huo Zhenren naturally wouldn't be ungrateful.

His attacks, combined with the bombardment of the formation, were basically focused on Ao Lie, ignoring everything else, all to benefit Li Yunjing!

Li Yunjing naturally understood.

Dozens of Golden Core Realm experts, all of whom were leaders of chambers of commerce or similar organizations.

In terms of wealth, these people are no less than Pang Qianji!
Looks like I'm about to make a fortune!

Thinking of this, Li Yunjing felt a surge of excitement. No matter how many spirit stones he had, they couldn't compare to the wealth of billions or even tens of billions of spirit stones!

Such a large sum of spirit stones is an astronomical figure for Li Yunjing!
"Fuck them all!"

Li Yunjing's gaze was fixed on the cultivators in the formation like a hawk, and his hands moved rapidly on the control panel of the "Sky Patrol Ship".

Suddenly, the "Thunder Cannon" at the bow of the ship burst out with blinding light, and five "Five Elements Divine Thunders" as thick as water buckets exploded with a deafening roar. Purple lightning, carrying azure light, crimson flames, black ice, and yellow earth, rushed straight towards the crowd like five ferocious giant dragons.

A Golden Core cultivator in a blue robe hastily summoned a shield, but the moment the divine lightning touched him, he and the shield turned into dust. His screams before dissipating were completely swallowed by the roar.

The "Divine Firmament Battleship" followed closely behind, with thirty-six "Demon-Slaying Cannons" firing in unison, and deep purple energy beams tearing through space.

The naval guns on these are even more powerful!

Few cultivators could stop them!
The most proactive golden-robed cultivator from the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" had just unleashed a "Gilded Pagoda," whose flowing runes barely withstood a cannon blast. But the next second, a lightning-fire bomb flying from the side blasted the pagoda into pieces.

The golden-robed cultivator's chest was pierced. Just as his golden core was about to escape, it was entangled by the "Soul-Chasing Rope" thrown by Li Yunjing. The skull opened its huge mouth and bit the golden core to pieces.

On the island, blood mist filled the air, and severed limbs fell like raindrops.

The entire barren island seemed to shrink by dozens of feet under the constant bombardment!
The island was almost level with the sea level. When the island shook violently, some seawater surged outside the barrier of the "Divine Thunder and Fire Demon-Slaying Array," making a huge "whoosh" sound.
