Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 566 Captured Alive (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Although Li Yunjing's six great treasures were incredibly powerful, they were like a drop in the ocean when faced with the endless stream of Netherworld monsters.

These treasures are of an extremely high level.

Li Yunjing did not fully refine it; he was only able to unleash about 30-50% of its power.

It wasn't noticeable under normal circumstances, but at crucial moments, Li Yunjing felt somewhat powerless.

Using his full power to unleash the "Three Heads and Six Arms Great Divine Power," continuously stimulating the power of the six great treasures with his own true essence, even Li Yunjing felt tired.

His gaze then fell upon the "Judge's Pen" in the judge's hand, which was constantly consuming mana to write runes, and a flash of inspiration struck him.

These netherworld creatures were able to cross the barriers between worlds through the communication and sacrificial power of magical artifacts.

And it needs a suitable place!

The weak connection between the mortal realm and the "Nine Netherworlds".

That old judge is trying to fool me!

Li Yunjing is exhausted; how good can this person be?
Recalling the battle, I took the initiative to attack, while the judge wandered around, and there wasn't even a single head-on confrontation!

This is clearly not going to work!

"Liu Yu! Fight and retreat, just protect yourselves!"

Li Yunjing shouted loudly and suddenly transformed the "Heavenly Net" into a stream of light, which entangled the giant pincers of a "Netherworld Centipede" and used the force to leap into the air.

With his three heads and six arms operating simultaneously, he unleashed the power of the five treasures, including the "Ancient Bronze Bell" and the "Myriad Lotus Lantern," creating a pentagram around the judge's position.

"Five Elements Seal!"

Li Yunjing sneered. He used the five treasures as materials for setting up the formation and sent them flying out, squeezing towards the judge from five directions and shrinking his space to move!
"Everyone, attack the rift!"

Under Li Yunjing's second attack order, Liu Yu and the others, though unaware of the reason, unleashed their strongest divine power without hesitation due to their years of tacit understanding.

"Oh no! Stop them!"

The judge's expression changed drastically. He was enveloped in a sphere of five elements light. He frantically waved his "Judge's Pen" in an attempt to break the seal and escape.

However, the five great treasures that Li Yunjing unleashed were too powerful.

With his mastery of array formations, how could it be broken in a short time?
"Boom!"

The crack trembled violently, and space itself seemed to be distorting, as if a collapse was imminent.

Sensing the danger, the "Netherworld Crocodile" and the "Netherworld Centipede" abandoned their attack on Li Yunjing and instead pounced on Liu Yu and his group of ten.

Seeing that the "Netherworld Giant Crocodile" and the "Netherworld Centipede" had abandoned him and pounced on Liu Yu and the others, Li Yunjing, with his three heads and six arms, simultaneously formed hand seals and roared, "Five Thunder Orthodox Method!"
"Boom!"

The massive explosion and the blinding flashes of lightning illuminated the seabed. The three "Ghost Crocodiles" were bombarded by the lightning balls, knocked off balance, and rendered unable to move.

"Roar……"

The "Ghost Crocodile" struggled angrily, its sharp claws drawing sparks from the seabed surface, finally stopping its blasted-away body.

At the same time, Li Yunjing personally rushed towards the "Netherworld Centipede," unleashing the "Thunder Tribulation Divine Fist" and the "Five Elements Divine Fist" simultaneously. The power of the five elements surged, blocking the poisonous attack, while the power of thunder covered the "Netherworld Centipede."

Although the "Nether Centipede's" carapace was incredibly hard, it was still covered with fine cracks under the attack of lightning magic.

"Liu Yu! Attack the crack with all your might now!"

Li Yunjing shouted loudly, his voice tinged with exhaustion.

"Yes!"

Liu Yu and the others dared not slack off in the slightest, and they all raised their magical power to the limit, with various spells flying towards the crack like meteors.

Suddenly, the seabed shone brightly, and explosions echoed one after another.

"Damn it! What kind of seal is this? How can it freeze me in place?"

Seeing the tense situation outside, the judge's face twisted as he struggled frantically within the "Five Elements Seal," his "Judge's Pen" continuously writing strange runes in an attempt to break the seal.

However, each rune was instantly annihilated by the purifying light of the "Myriad Lotus Lantern" as soon as it was formed.

"impossible!"

He was sweating profusely with anxiety, a hint of despair flashing in his eyes: "You're just a second-level Golden Core cultivator, how could you possibly have such powerful strength!"

Li Yunjing sneered, ignoring the judge's clamor, and instead poured his last bit of power into the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal".

"Boom!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity to block the "Netherworld Centipede", a dazzling bolt of lightning shot out from between Li Yunjing's eyebrows, heading straight for the seabed fissure.

"Break it for me!"

Li Yunjing shouted, channeling all his lightning power into this most important treasure.

"Fight!"

Seeing this, Liu Yu and the others also unleashed their strongest killing moves, and all their magical treasures flew towards the rift!
Eleven dazzling rays of light intertwined with lightning, forming a world-destroying force that slammed into the crack.

"boom……"

With a deafening roar, the space around the crack began to distort violently, and countless black cracks spread out like a spider web.

The seabed was shaking violently.

A massive earthquake has struck the seabed!

The earthquake caused the surrounding water to surge, creating huge whirlpools and undercurrents.

On the sea, towering waves crashed, and the sea and sky merged into one.

A hurricane swept across the sky.

The massive undersea earthquake triggered a huge chain reaction.

The affected area spanned thousands of miles!
Natural disaster strikes!

Countless small creatures in the sea were torn to pieces, and this area of ​​the sea was almost dyed red.

The "Netherworld Soldiers," "Netherworld Crocodiles," and "Netherworld Centipedes" all sensed impending doom and frantically tried to escape, enter the crumbling rift, and return to their world.

However, they were trapped by the attacks of Li Yunjing, Liu Yu and others.

As the crack continued to widen, Li Yunjing and the others suddenly lifted the blockade, allowing the demons to fly towards the crack.

However, things did not go as the demons wished. Before they entered the rift, a powerful suction force emanated from it, pulverizing everything around them, including the demons themselves.

The judge watched all this in despair, wanting to escape, but was firmly locked in by the "Five Elements Seal".

"call……"

Li Yunjing let out a long sigh of relief, and the light around him gradually dimmed. The six great treasures also flew back to his side.

Now they were facing only the judge.

Li Yunjing slowly turned around, stared at the released judge, and a cold smile appeared on his lips: "Now, it's time to settle the score."

Six great treasures floated around him, and the "ancient bronze bell" exuded an ancient and imposing aura.

The "Myriad Lotus Lanterns" radiate a sacred light, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the judge at any moment.

The "net of heaven and earth" blocked the judge's retreat route.

Holding the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror in his left hand and the Yin-Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword in his right, he glared menacingly at the judge.

"Hehe! Let's see where you go!"

Not to be outdone, Liu Yu and his ten men dispersed, forming a second encirclement.

Two elders guard each of the four directions: east, west, south, and north. Liu Yu and another elder, Tao Jun, are on the move to provide support to the four directions at any time.

With everyone working together, it's enough to ensure that no matter which direction the judge tries to break out, he will face the combined attack of four elders from the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect"!

Even if four against one is no match for the judge, holding him off for a few dozen breaths is still no problem.

The judge twisted his body wildly, black mist surging around him, and the "Judge's Pen" was constantly being waved, seemingly trying to increase his power and intimidate Li Yunjing and the others.

"Li Yunjing! Don't be so smug! The 'Ghost Fiend Hall' won't let you get away with this!"

The judge roared hoarsely, his eyes filled with resentment.

"The Ghost Fiend Palace?"

Li Yunjing snorted coldly, raised the Yin-Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword, pointed the tip at his opponent, and said disdainfully, "Get past me first!"

"You devil! Weren't you quite arrogant before?"

"Show us your arrogance now!"

"I'm going to skin you alive and tear your tendons out of your body later!"

"To slay the demon is our duty!"

……

Liu Yu and the others quickly surrounded him. The ten magical artifacts shone brightly, forming an impenetrable blockade. They all glared fiercely at the man.

In the previous battle, they were constrained at every turn.

If it weren't for Li Yunjing's intervention, they would have been finished. Now that the trouble with the "Nine Nether Lands" has been resolved, the ten of them finally felt a sense of triumph.

"Judge, you have committed countless evils, today is your day of death!"

Liu Yu pointed his long sword straight ahead, its tip flashing with a cold light.

"Want to kill me?"

Seeing that things were going badly, the judge suddenly laughed loudly, "Not so easy!"

He suddenly bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence, which transformed into a blood-red vortex in the air.

In an instant, the judge's aura changed drastically, and he shot towards Liu Yu's direction like a swollen ball.

Even when surrounded and facing a life-or-death situation, the Judge still has to unleash his essence and potential to fight to the death!
"Little tricks!"

With a loud "boom," the "Thunder Escape Technique" was activated. Almost simultaneously, Li Yunjing stood in front of the Judge and delivered a heavy punch to the ball in front of him with the "Thunder Tribulation Divine Fist"!
"boom!"

The judge screamed, the ball exploded, and the judge became even thinner than before, his whole body shriveled up like a paper doll. He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the jagged rocks on the seabed and sending up a large number of pebbles.

He struggled to his feet, black blood constantly spilling from the corner of his mouth, yet his eyes still gleamed with a crazed light.

Before he could make a move, Li Yunjing appeared like a ghost and grabbed the man by the neck.

The rolling power of thunder entered the judge's body, paralyzing his body, which was trying to self-destruct, rendering him unable to move.

"A net of heaven and earth, bind them!"

Li Yunjing gave a low shout, and a giant golden net surged out like a tide, tightly binding the judge and wrapping him up like a rice dumpling.

The judge twisted his body frantically, and black mist surged within the net, attempting to corrode the golden threads of the "Heavenly Net," but the giant net tightened more and more, almost binding him like a mummy.

"Impossible... How could I be defeated by a mere Golden Core junior like you!"

The judge roared, his voice filled with resentment.

At this moment, he was powerless to reverse the situation, and even death had become a luxury.

Without Li Yunjing's permission, he couldn't even die. This time, the judge was truly desperate.

"Liu Yu, let's go back!"

Li Yunjing shouted without turning his head.

Li Yunjing released the "Sky Patrol Ship" and prepared to return to "Shenxiao Island" as soon as possible to report what had happened to the nine Supreme Elders.

"Yes!"

Liu Yu responded to the call and boarded the "Sky Patrol Ship" with the others.

The judge was also carried onto the treasure ship by Li Yunjing, who treated him like trash.

The old man was still defiant and continued to curse wildly: "Li Yunjing, the 'Ghost Fiend Hall' will make you wish you were dead!"

"Noisy!"

Li Yunjing raised his hand and a bolt of lightning struck the judge. The powerful electric current made him tremble all over and instantly fell silent.

Looking at the subdued judge, Li Yunjing let out a long sigh of relief, and the light emanating from him completely dimmed.

"This man has committed numerous evils and must be taken back for interrogation by the esteemed elders!"

Li Yunjing looked at Liu Yu and the others and said this.

"Yes! This person holds a major secret; we must perform a soul search!"

Liu Yu then realized Li Yunjing's deeper meaning and nodded in agreement repeatedly.

The other nine elders echoed this sentiment.

This mission with Li Yunjing truly demonstrated his formidable strength.

It is simply an invincible existence.

Even if all ten of them joined forces, they probably wouldn't be able to hold out against Li Yunjing for long.

Now, Liu Yu and others almost always obey Li Yunjing's words.

They were completely convinced.

Even if the sect leader recommends Li Yunjing as the new sect leader tomorrow, they will accept it wholeheartedly and have no complaints whatsoever.

The "Sky Patrol Ship" sliced ​​through the sea, leaving a dazzling trail of light behind it.

Li Yunjing sat cross-legged in the center of the deck, surrounded by a faint golden halo. The "Yin Yang Treasure Mirror" floated above his head, its surface flowing with life force, slowly repairing the damage he had sustained in the battle.

Liu Yu, along with ten elders, was responsible for controlling the "Sky Patrol Ship," guarding the judge, and vigilantly watching the surrounding sea to prevent the remnants of the "Ghost Fiend Palace" from making a comeback.

The judge, bound like a dumpling, huddled in a corner, the lingering power of the thunder still raging within him, causing him to twitch from time to time.

Even so, his eyes remained venomous as he stared intently at Li Yunjing, as if he wanted to tear him to pieces with his gaze.

Li Yunjing didn't care about this at all, and just occasionally raised his hand to strike the judge with a bolt of lightning to ensure that he could not escape.

Along the way, the sea was eerily calm, and even the sea breeze seemed to be holding its breath.

Li Yunjing dared not relax in the slightest. The Ghost Fiend Hall and the Demon Control Sect had suffered heavy losses and casualties, and they would not give up easily.

He will not give the two major forces a chance to retaliate.

Three days later, the outline of "Shenxiao Island" finally came into view.

All the worries I had along the way can finally be put to rest.

The island was shrouded in mist, with ethereal music playing softly, and the protective array radiated seven-colored light, making it resemble a fairyland.

Upon seeing that it was one of their own people returning, the patrolling disciples on the island immediately stepped forward to guide the "Sky Patrol Ship" to fly in a specific direction.

During special periods, even our own people cannot fly around freely and must be subject to wartime management.

Upon entering the "Shenxiao Temple" square, the "Sky Patrol Ship" began to slowly descend under the guidance of its fellow disciples, and the "Shenxiao Island" disciples, who had already received the news, lined up to welcome it.

Li Yunjing carried the judge off the treasure ship, and several elders immediately stepped forward and escorted the judge to the "Council Hall".

Inside the council hall, the nine supreme elders sat on cloud-patterned thrones, their bodies surrounded by immortal energy, their imposing presence as imposing as a mountain.

Li Yunjing gave a detailed report on the conflict with the "Ghost Fiend Hall" and the "Demon Control Sect", the appearance of the Netherworld Rift, and the process of capturing the Judge alive.

The elders all looked solemn upon hearing this.

"Li Yunjing, you have done a great service this time!"

The Five Elements Master nodded repeatedly, his face showing appreciation.

"The Ghost Fiend Hall and the Demon Control Sect dare to cause such a commotion in the East Sea. It seems they want to declare war on my Divine Firmament Dao Sect."

A hint of killing intent flashed in Elder Lei Ze's eyes. "Li Yunjing, your performance this time was outstanding and you deserve a generous reward. We will remember your merits."

It wasn't that Elder Lei Ze was unwilling to reward Li Yunjing; it was simply that this kid was already a high-ranking member of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," and there was no way to reward him.

The next step is to become the supreme leader!

Are you suggesting we force Ming Lingchuan, who's doing a great job, to step down?
As for the treasures, after the introduction, how could the Supreme Elders not know the treasures Li Yunjing possessed, and how they would reward him?
I can't possibly give my most treasured possession to Li Yunjing, can I?
"This is what I should do!"

Li Yunjing clasped his hands in a salute: "This disciple will do his utmost to protect the sect!"

He didn't care much about the reward.

It's better to have it, but it doesn't matter if you don't.

After a moment of contemplation, the Supreme Elder of the Nine Netherworlds raised his hand and unleashed a beam of light. Instantly, a three-dimensional sand table of the East China Sea appeared in the air, with red dots marking the strongholds of "Ghost Fiend Hall" and "Demon Control Sect" distributed like sores.

"Originally, we did not want to provoke the demonic path in this East China Sea war, but they attacked us first, which is a declaration of war!"

The terrifying old women said in a sinister tone, "We must devise a counterattack plan before they consolidate their forces."

"Reporting to the Supreme Elder!"

Wu Cheng took a step forward, his face revealing a murderous aura. "Why not strike first, while the judge is captured and the 'Ghost Fiend Hall' is leaderless, and gather the sect's elite forces to strike at the heart of the enemy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, voices of opposition arose from the audience.

"No!"

The Dan Ding Peak Master gently tapped his jade cup, causing ripples in the tea. “Although the protective formation of ‘Shenxiao Island’ is strong, if all its elite forces are deployed, it is hard to guarantee that ‘Tianluo Dao Sect’ will not take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Moreover, the environment of the Netherworld Sea is strange, and venturing in rashly may lead to an ambush.”

These words immediately sparked a lively discussion in the council hall, with everyone holding their own opinions.

"I have a plan."

Seeing the atmosphere growing increasingly tense, Li Yunjing stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, "'Ghost Fiend Hall' and 'Demon Control Sect' have joined forces, relying on the Netherworld Rift and the secret treasure 'Soul-Capturing Pearl'."

"We can split our forces into two groups!"

One group will guard 'Divine Firmament Island,' while the other will feign an attack on the strongholds of 'Ghost Fiend Hall' and 'Demon Control Sect' to lure them out!

"I secretly infiltrated the Nether Sea to find the source of the rift and destroy the 'Soul-Seizing Pearl'."

"In this way, we will cut off the trump card of the two major demonic sects, and they will probably not dare to provoke us again!"

After Li Yunjing revealed his plan, the "deliberation hall" fell silent as everyone considered whether the method was feasible.
