Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 575 Never Back Down (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
This one sentence left everyone present speechless.

Yes!

Li Yunjing lived to be less than fifty years old!
Of everyone present, apart from Ji Zixuan who was slightly younger than Li Yunjing, everyone else could be considered an old man.

Even if Li Yunjing used the "Heavenly Secrets Technique" to deduce the other party's whereabouts, he would at most lose a few hundred years of his lifespan!

For Li Yunjing, this really is nothing!
"Hehe! I'm leaving!"

Li Yunjing smiled and waved his hand, then transformed into a streak of light and flew back to the backyard of "Shenxiao Island".

That was where the Five Elements Immortals rested.

Inside the pavilion, only Wen Bin, Liao Wanqing, Ji Zixuan, and Xu Xun remained, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Brother Li, those words are too hurtful!"

After a long while, watching Li Yunjing's figure disappear, Wen Bin gave a bitter smile, truly at a loss for words.

"Ugh……"

Liao Wanqing also sighed heavily.

As for Xu Xun, his expression was also rather unpleasant. Watching his rival soar into the sky, leaving him far behind, he felt absolutely terrible.

Although Xu Xun has given up his fantasies about Yunyi, it doesn't mean he's willing to be left far behind by Li Yunjing!

"Humph!"

Right now, it seems only Ji Zixuan, that little girl, can keep a straight face and huff angrily.

The other three dared not express their dissatisfaction with Li Yunjing.

Xu Xun, in particular, respected his teachers and loved his sect. How could he be disrespectful to the sect's vice sect leader?
This is absolutely impossible!

"Sigh! Once I've completed this mission with the deputy sect leader, I'll stay far away so I don't have to see him suffer!"

Xu Xun thought to himself.

At this moment, Li Yunjing was extremely anxious and had no idea what they were thinking.
He arrived at the backyard where the Five Elements Immortal lived immediately. After announcing his arrival and receiving permission, he entered a bamboo forest.

At this moment, a gentle night breeze rustled the green bamboo. The Five Elements Immortal sat cross-legged on a jade futon, surrounded by halos of five colors: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, like a deity.

Li Yunjing landed in the courtyard and bowed respectfully: "Ancestor, your disciple has important matters to discuss with you."

The Five Elements True Man slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as lightning, sweeping over the jade slip fragment tightly clutched in Li Yunjing's hand, and said in a deep voice, "Is it about the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' and the 'Heavenly Net Dao Sect'?"

"Exactly."

Holding the jade slip, Li Yunjing succinctly outlined his plan: "This disciple intends to use the 'Heavenly Secrets Technique' to deduce the other party's whereabouts and locate the transaction site."

He paused, then added, "We still need the real person to allocate manpower to cooperate with my plan to wipe out the experts of the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' and the 'Heavenly Net Dao Sect'!"

"Can you really deduce where their transaction took place?"

Upon hearing Li Yunjing's words, the Five Elements Master's expression turned solemn: "Do you have a foolproof plan?"

The Five Elements True Man knew, of course, that if the plan succeeded, he would definitely be able to kill several Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, which would be a great thing that would change the balance of power between the two sides!

However, the Five Elements Master was very skeptical: did Li Yunjing have the ability to deduce the secrets of heaven?

This involves the secrets of many masters!
If they launch a full-scale attack and find nothing, it will definitely have a huge impact on the morale of the "East China Sea Alliance"!
The Five Elements Master must understand the pros and cons involved.

"I've thought about that!"

Li Yunjing nodded solemnly and said, "This disciple will go with Xu Xun to the underwater palace he visited to capture the aura of the 'Four Seas Merchants Association' members. I am willing to use the 'Heavenly Secrets Technique' to deduce their location!"

"Nonsense!"

As soon as Li Yunjing finished speaking, the Five Elements Master suddenly raised his hand and said with an unyielding expression, "'Heavenly Secrets Technique' reverses fate; the slightest mistake will result in the soul being scattered! Do you know what happened back then..."

The man paused, as if recalling something from the past, his expression complex. "Forget it, let's leave it at that. There's no need to search for their location! We'll just fight them slowly!"

Clearly, in the eyes of the Five Elements Master, exchanging Li Yunjing's lifespan for the victory was extremely unwise!

Li Yunjing is already the designated next sect leader!
This is the future hope of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

How can you risk your life for such a trivial matter?
If the foundation is damaged, it will be too late to cry!
"Ancestor, there's no need to worry, I know what I'm doing!"

Li Yunjing was startled and quickly said, "I've estimated it, and it might only take a few hundred years of lifespan to recover."

"Nonsense!"

The Five Elements True Man stood up, and his spiritual energy surged violently, causing the surrounding bamboo to rustle. "Do you know how important a cultivator's lifespan is? Many cultivators endure hardship and are just a little bit short of breaking through their cultivation level, but they turn into bones because of that little bit of lifespan short."

He gazed into the distance, towards the East China Sea, and said, "When you break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, you will know how many years it takes to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm."

After saying this, Wu Xingzhen sighed softly.

He had toiled for many years at this level, but he still had no clue about the Nascent Soul stage.

Perhaps he will be stuck at the Nascent Soul stage for the rest of his life, with no chance to advance further.

As someone who has been through it all, Master Wuxing felt it necessary to give Li Yunjing some serious advice.

We can't treat talent as capital, and we can't squander it easily!
Otherwise, time will slip away like water, and it will be too late to regret it in the future.

“Ancestor, this disciple is not acting rashly.”

Li Yunjing was deeply moved by the Five Elements Master's advice, knowing that it was the senior's earnest teaching and heartfelt good intentions, but he was still unwilling to give up this opportunity.

He knows his own condition perfectly well.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Five Elements True Man, breaking through to the Divine Transformation Realm is as difficult as ascending to heaven, requiring more time to slowly comprehend it.

However, Li Yunjing was confident that he could break through to the Nascent Soul Realm before he turned two hundred!

By then, he will still have more than two thousand years of lifespan, enough to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

If one cannot break through this barrier even with such a long lifespan, it only proves that one is mediocre. What good would it do to live for another few hundred years?

Cultivation requires courage and diligence!
If you barely manage to reach each level, your potential will definitely be limited, and you'll have no future.

Li Yunjing has never experienced a bottleneck in his cultivation. Whenever his magical power reaches a certain level, he can immediately break through to the next realm.

Li Yunjing is full of confidence in his own development!

Even if he reaches the Nascent Soul Realm, he doesn't think he will run out of potential. It's just that he can't say this to the Five Elements True Man. Wouldn't that be blatant boasting?
He was afraid that the Five Elements Master wouldn't be able to handle hearing his true feelings!
"As long as we bring out the life essence of the three elders of the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' from the deep sea palace."

Li Yunjing said loudly, "I have enough confidence to calculate the location! As for a few hundred years of lifespan, what does that matter! This disciple can guarantee that I will break through to the Nascent Soul Realm within two hundred years!"

"Really?"

The Five Elements True Man's pupils contracted slightly, and his five fingers unconsciously tightened inside his sleeve.

At the same time, the Five Elements Master was secretly horrified. What kind of monster was this?!

Two hundred years have passed, and he has broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm!
Li Yunjing really dares to speak his mind!

"This disciple has brought out a great treasure from the 'Xuanwu Hall'!"

Li Yunjing's voice was firm, his bangs disheveled by the night wind, "Using the Heavenly Secret Guide as a medium, and supplemented by the tortoise shell of the 'Xuanwu Hall,' it will at most cost three hundred years of lifespan."

He raised his head, his gaze meeting that of the Five Elements True Man with intense intensity. "Now that the 'East Sea Alliance' has just been established, it is the perfect time to reassure the people!"

"If we can eliminate several Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on the other side in one fell swoop, all parties in the 'East Sea Alliance' will surely admire the leadership of my 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'!"

"At that time, when we confront the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' and the 'Tianluo Dao Sect,' all parties will surely go all out. At that time, at least we can stabilize the situation and ensure that our sect will have no worries for the next ten years!"

The wind in the bamboo forest suddenly froze, and after listening to Li Yunjing's words, the Five Elements Aura around the Five Elements True Man trembled violently.

He hadn't expected that Li Yunjing would even be able to use the tortoise shell from the "Xuanwu Hall".

That's a priceless treasure that the entire Shenxiao Dao Sect has never been able to understand!

It is rumored to be related to the path of immortality and contains a great secret!

Did Li Yunjing discover the secret?
"Do you know that a shortened lifespan not only affects cultivation progress, but also during tribulations..."

The Five Elements Master's voice trembled slightly, but Li Yunjing abruptly interrupted him.

"Disciple knows!"

Li Yunjing nodded and said in a deep voice, "But the current situation is like oil boiling over a raging fire. If we cannot quickly gain the upper hand, and the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' defeats us one by one, the 'East Sea Alliance' will surely be doomed!"

As the deputy head of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and the chief steward of the "East Sea Alliance", he absolutely cannot back down!
The battle in the East China Sea must never become a stain on his life!

The Five Elements Master's five fingers dug deeply into his palms, and his body trembled slightly beneath his black Taoist robe.

His expression as he looked at Li Yunjing was somewhat complicated.

This disciple is good at everything, but it seems he has too much fighting spirit?

How come I never noticed how brave and diligent Li Yunjing was before?
"That's it!"

The Five Elements Master suddenly waved his sleeve, and the Five Elements Halo transformed into five streams of light that disappeared into the ground. The entire bamboo forest was instantly enveloped in golden array patterns. "Go and come back as soon as possible. As long as you obtain the aura, bring it back."

The Five Elements Master added, "If the plan is feasible, I will arrange for manpower to be deployed to ambush and kill the people from the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' and the 'Heavenly Net Dao Sect'!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Ancestor!" Li Yunjing exclaimed with delight.

With the patriarch's permission, Li Yunjing immediately returned to the pavilion in the martial arts training ground.

"How about it?"

Seeing that Li Yunjing had returned so quickly, everyone asked in unison.

"The alliance leader has agreed!"

Li Yunjing smiled and nodded, then looked at Xu Xun and said with a smile, "Brother Xu, shall we go?"

"it is good!"

Xu Xun nodded without hesitation and agreed immediately.

"and many more!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing and Xu Xun were about to leave, Ji Zixuan objected. The little girl stepped forward, hugged Li Yunjing's arm, and said coquettishly, "I want to go too!"

"you?"

Seeing the expectant look on Ji Zixuan's face, Li Yunjing's head buzzed, almost exploding.

What is this little girl's cultivation level?
A nobody in the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Isn't this just a burden?
Taking Ji Zixuan with him is practically equivalent to Li Yunjing losing an arm!

Before Li Yunjing could refuse, a chorus of volunteering voices suddenly rang out from the training ground.

"Brother Li, I'll go with you!"

Wen Bin spoke first.

“Excellent! We are all local cultivators and are more familiar with the roads. I want to travel with you!”

Liao Wanqing echoed this.

"This……"

Li Yunjing frowned. His plan was to take Xu Xun with him, so that the two of them would be less conspicuous and their whereabouts would not be discovered.

Now that everyone wants to go, what should he do?
Li Yunjing looked at Ji Zixuan, about to say something to stop her from going.

Seeing that things were not going well, Ji Zixuan stood on tiptoe and grabbed Li Yunjing's collar, her big, watery eyes welling up with tears: "If you don't take me with you, I'll tell Mom and Dad that you're bullying me!"

The jade bell at her waist jingled, shaking Li Yunjing's collar.

Looking at the chaotic scene, Xu Xun helplessly rubbed his nose: "Vice Sect Leader Li, perhaps..."

"Ugh……"

Li Yunjing sighed and looked at Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing, saying, "I'll take you there!"

He then looked at Ji Zixuan and said, "You can go if you want, but only if you get Senior Ji and Madam Ji's permission! Otherwise, nothing you say will make a difference!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Zixuan immediately let go of Li Yunjing and turned to run towards the residence of the "Two Immortals of the Azure Waves." As her skirt fluttered, only a string of clear jade bell sounds remained.

In less than a quarter of an hour, she dragged two ethereal-looking cultivators back, who were none other than the Two Immortals of the Azure Waves.

"Vice Sect Leader Li, my wife and I have discussed it."

Father Ji stroked his long beard, a smile in his eyes. "Although my daughter's cultivation is still shallow, she grew up in the East China Sea and is quite familiar with the underwater terrain. Perhaps she can be of help."

Madam Ji smiled gently, her tone soft yet firm, "Besides, with you and the other fellow Daoists looking after us, we can feel more at ease."

"Forehead……"

Li Yunjing was stunned. He had thought that by proposing this condition, Ji Zixuan would back down, but he did not expect that the two immortals of Bibo would actually agree.

This left him somewhat at a loss.

Li Yunjing really didn't want to bring Ji Zixuan along!

This little burden must not be allowed to get hurt, much less die.

Otherwise, the two immortals of Bibo would definitely not be able to get through here.

He's in big trouble!

Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing exchanged a glance, barely suppressing their laughter.

The two seemed to have seen through the thoughts of the Two Immortals of the Azure Waves.

But that's normal!

The daughter of the Two Immortals of the Azure Waves is a top-tier heiress, not only in the East Sea but also throughout the entire "Tianlan Star".

For a woman like this to find a suitable husband, there seems to be no one better than Li Yunjing.
Xu Xun shook his head helplessly and said in a low voice, "Vice Sect Leader Li, it seems that this team is going to grow stronger."

"In that case, let's go together."

Li Yunjing took a deep breath and glanced at everyone. "But let me make this clear beforehand: this trip is extremely dangerous, and all actions must be under my command."

He looked at Ji Zixuan, "Especially you, if you dare to act on your own, I will have someone send you back immediately."

Ji Zixuan nodded excitedly, her eyes full of anticipation: "Don't worry! I promise I'll be a good girl!"

She turned to her parents and made a face, "Mom and Dad, when I come back, I'll definitely bring you a treasure from the sea!"

"Okay! You can go ahead without worry!"

Ji Shuhan said with a smile.

At the same time, he secretly transmitted his voice to Li Yunjing, telling him that he had sealed two supernatural powers and left them for Ji Zixuan to protect herself, and that he should not worry too much.

With Ji Shuhan's words, Li Yunjing felt much more at ease.

This time, Li Yunjing still deployed the "Sky Patrol Ship," but the 330-zhang treasure ship was shrunk to 10 zhang and sailed discreetly on the sea.

The group set sail and, half an hour later, were far from Shenxiao Island. The full moon was rising from the sea, turning the waves into silvery scales.

"Look! That's a cluster of conch shells!"

Ji Zixuan leaned on the bow of the boat, her jade bells swaying gently in the sea breeze. Suddenly, she pointed into the distance and exclaimed excitedly, "They are most beautiful when they glow!"

Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing looked at the little girl helplessly.

Ji Zixuan was just like someone going out for the first time, very curious about everything she saw, and kept talking to others with great interest.

Neither of them dared to offend Ji Zixuan, so they could only coax the little girl like a child.

As for Xu Xun, he personally piloted the "Sky Patrol Ship," since only he knew the route.

Li Yunjing, holding the tortoise shell, took out the "Mysterious Heaven Compass" and the "Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Heavenly Secret Pendant," preparing to deduce heavenly secrets and make preparations for the next action.

Xu Xun leaned closer and whispered, "I only dared to spy on the outside of that deep palace; the restrictions inside..."

"fine!"

Li Yunjing didn't look at him, but said coldly, "I will naturally handle all the dangers! Just lead me to the place where the people from the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' and the 'Heavenly Net Dao Sect' are staying."

"it is good!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing was completely focused on the treasures, Xu Xun nodded and stopped disturbing him, focusing on piloting the "Sky Patrol Ship".

Once the "Sky Patrol Ship" was completely away from "Shenxiao Island", the treasure ship sank directly into the seabed and sailed close to the seabed.

Recently, Shenxiao Island has become the most eye-catching place in the East China Sea.

Li Yunjing didn't even need to search to know that there were definitely spies from various parties lurking in the waters near "Shenxiao Island," including even people from the "Tianluo Dao Sect."

This operation is of great importance, and Li Yunjing naturally doesn't want his whereabouts to be discovered as soon as he leaves the house.

The "Sky Patrol Ship" plowed two deep grooves into the seabed silt, and Xu Xun skillfully maneuvered the ship through the coral reefs.

Li Yunjing suddenly opened his eyes, and golden light shone brightly in them. The "Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Heavenly Secret Pendant" trembled violently.

Three hundred feet ahead, seven hidden spiritual senses spread out like a spider web, revealing that someone was hiding in the shadows.

"Stop the ship."

Li Yunjing made a hand seal with his fingertips, and the "Mysterious Heavenly Compass" transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the seabed.

The next moment, seven cultivators dressed in blue robes burst out of the ground, their crossbows gleaming with a ghostly blue poisonous light.

Just as the leader was about to issue a warning, the "Mysterious Heavenly Compass" trembled and pressed him directly onto the coral reef, turning him into a meat patty.

The crossbow bolt in his hand shot out instinctively, but under the suppression of the "Mysterious Heaven Compass", the arrow fell to the ground with a "sizzling" corrosive sound.

“Vice Sect Leader Li, these are outsiders from the Tianluo Dao Sect…”

Before Xu Xun could finish speaking, the "Heavenly Profound Compass" suppressed them repeatedly, and the remaining six people were also turned into blood mist and died at the bottom of the sea under the pressure.
