Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 655 The Supreme Alliance Breaks Through the Blockade (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"I will always remember Senior Xiao's kindness in helping me today."

Li Yunjing understood immediately and solemnly clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute: "If you ever need anything in the future, as long as it does not violate morality, I will do my utmost."

Upon hearing this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Xiao Xuan's eyes.

Isn't that what he's after?

Otherwise, why would Li Yunjing receive any benefits?
It was all so that one day, when Li Yunjing became successful, he would remember the kindness shown to him today and repay the Xiao family.

Li Yunjing naturally understood the reasons behind this and clearly stated that he would repay the Xiao family, which enabled Xiao Xuan to achieve his goal.

"This is a token of my Xiao family."

He raised his hand and sent a beam of purple light into Li Yunjing's brow: "With this mark, you can freely enter and exit within a hundred miles of the secret realm. If there is anything important, you can also use this to send a message to me."

"Yes!"

Li Yunjing felt a purple rune appear in his sea of ​​consciousness, faintly resonating with the "Purple Cloud Secret Realm" before him.

"Go then, and cultivate diligently."

He was about to express his gratitude when he saw Xiao Xuan's figure gradually fade away: "I hope that when we meet again, you will have successfully formed your Nascent Soul."

Before he could finish speaking, the scene before Li Yunjing's eyes suddenly changed, and he was teleported to the vicinity of the spiritual spring in the secret realm.

Seeing Zhao Qi and Su Muqing still bathing in the spiritual spring, cultivating with their eyes closed, Li Yunjing nodded.

He slowly walked into the spiritual spring. With Xiao Xuan's kindness, Li Yunjing no longer needed to protect the two women. In the "Purple Cloud Secret Realm," the Xiao family would definitely not have any ill intentions towards them.

The moment the spiritual spring water touched his body, Li Yunjing shuddered.

The warm spring water seemed to have a life of its own, seeping into the body through the pores.

He circulated his internal energy, guiding this mysterious power through his meridians.

"This is……"

Li Yunjing looked inward and discovered that his spiritual root was undergoing a miraculous change.

The five elemental spiritual roots, which originally shone with multicolored brilliance, now seemed to be infused with new vitality, their light becoming even purer.

The purple lightning spirit root crackled and popped, with faint lightning patterns appearing on its surface.

The mysterious power from the spring water flowed in continuously, and a vortex gradually formed in Li Yunjing's dantian.

The five elements' spiritual power and the power of thunder intertwine, achieving a delicate balance within the vortex.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, focusing all his energy on absorbing this power of creation.

Three days later, when Li Yunjing opened his eyes again, there seemed to be lightning flashing in his eyes.

He clearly felt that the quality of his spiritual root had transformed.

The five elemental roots shone with restrained brilliance, each one pure and flawless; the lightning root even transformed into a purple lightning bolt, ceaselessly moving within the dantian.

"A Heavenly Grade Spiritual Root!"

Li Yunjing could not hide his joy.

This means his cultivation speed will increase several times, and his chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage will also greatly increase.

At this moment, Zhao Qi and Su Muqing had also finished their cultivation.

The two women were surprised to sense the powerful aura emanating from Li Yunjing.

"Husband, you..."

Zhao Qi's beautiful eyes widened. "I can sense the difference in you."

“Luckily there was a breakthrough.”

Li Yunjing smiled slightly: "I have already cultivated to the peak of the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm. It won't be long before I can break through again!"

He looked at the two women, "How was your haul?"

"My Fire and Wood spiritual roots have reached the dual top grade!"

Su Muqing said happily, "This time, we owe it all to Fellow Daoist Li!"

She was absolutely thrilled!
It is important to know that spiritual roots are closely related to the speed of cultivation.

Having top-grade dual spiritual roots grants one a greater affinity with spiritual energy and the ability to comprehend relevant laws, resulting in achieving twice the results with half the effort.

This saves a lot of time, allowing you to focus your energy on breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm!
For Su Muqing, this was practically a chance to defy fate!
How could she not be grateful to Li Yunjing?

"I'm not bad either! My ice spirit root is already above the top grade, and I've made some progress!"

Zhao Qi was also very satisfied with her three days of cultivation and introduced her situation.

"It seems everyone has made progress!"

Li Yunjing nodded, "This time, we really have to thank the Xiao family!"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

This trip to the hidden realm was incredibly rewarding.

As they left the Spirit Spring area, a Golden Core elder from the Xiao family had been waiting for them for a long time: "Three distinguished guests, the family head invites you."

"Thank you for leading the way, fellow Daoist."

Li Yunjing understood what the other person meant; they were kicking him out.

The Xiao family members weren't so direct as to say, "Your time is up, you can leave now." Instead, they used a more tactful approach to achieve the same goal.

The reason for this attitude is definitely because of Xiao Xuan and Xiao Yuntian. They all know that Li Yunjing has a huge role and a pivotal position in the eyes of the Xiao family's higher-ups.

Li Yunjing wasn't stupid, and he didn't intend to keep taking advantage of the Xiao family.

With Zhao Qi and Su Muqing by their side, they followed the original path out of the secret realm and returned to the underground of the city lord's mansion.

In the main hall of the Xiao family, the patriarch Xiao Yuntian personally received Li Yunjing and his group.

When he sensed the aura of the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm emanating from Li Yunjing, even this Nascent Soul Peak cultivator couldn't help but be moved.

"Fellow Daoist Li is exceptionally talented and will surely achieve great things in the future."

Xiao Yuntian stroked his beard and smiled, "My Xiao family is willing to form an alliance with you, fellow Daoist. What do you think?"

"I can't ask for it."

Knowing that this was a further gesture of goodwill from the Xiao family, Li Yunjing immediately cupped his hands and said, "The Xiao family has been nurtured by Senior Xiao Xuan, so I am naturally willing to maintain a good relationship with the Xiao family forever!"

Li Yunjing took a deep breath and solemnly took out a purple-gold token from his bosom.

The token is inscribed with the two characters "Shenxiao" on the front and the three ancient seal characters "Deputy Sect Leader" on the back, with faint lightning flashes.

"To be honest, I am the deputy sect leader of the Shenxiao Dao Sect in the Southern Heaven Continent."

Li Yunjing showed the token to Xiao Yuntian, "This trip was originally for training, but I never expected to forge such a good relationship with the Xiao family. I must thank Ancestor Xiao and City Lord Xiao for their care!"

Xiao Yuntian glanced at the token, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

He already had the information and knew Li Yunjing's identity.

Now that Li Yunjing had taken out his identity token, he was even more certain and had no more doubts.

The several Xiao clan elders behind him looked surprised, as they had no idea that Li Yunjing had such an identity.
Even Xiao Han, who had dealt with Li Yunjing a few times, couldn't help but look this Grandmaster Li up and down!
Although the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" is not a sect on the "Luofu Continent" but on the distant "Southern Heaven Continent", it stands out in the art of thunder magic, and its ultimate technique, "Shenxiao Dao", is famous throughout "Tianlan Star".

As a top-tier family, they naturally knew the name "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!
Upon hearing Li Yunjing's special identity, they all showed expressions of surprise.

No one expected that the people of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" would travel millions of miles from another distant continent to come to them.

"Hahaha!"

Xiao Yuntian suddenly burst into laughter, "Good! Good! Since Fellow Daoist Li is the Vice Sect Leader of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect,' then this alliance must be finalized!"

He immediately stood up and waved his sleeve: "Guards! Bring the 'Purple Cloud Alliance Scripture'!"

Before long, four Golden Core Realm elders from the Xiao family carried a purple jade table into the main hall.

On the table lay a jade scroll, entirely purple-gold in color, its surface shrouded in purple mist—the very embodiment of the Xiao family's highest-level alliance.

Xiao Yuntian personally performed a hand seal, and the jade slip slowly unfolded, hovering in mid-air.

With his imperial brush in hand, Xiao Yuntian wrote swiftly and powerfully, listing out the various covenants.

After he finished writing, he looked at Li Yunjing and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, please take a look."

Li Yunjing carefully read each clause, secretly alarmed.

The terms of this alliance are far more generous than expected, especially the second clause, "mutual establishment of teleportation arrays," which means that the two places will establish a permanent passage. This is considered the highest level of alliance in the cultivation world.

This is a great thing for the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!
It should be noted that the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" was blocked in the southernmost part of the "Southern Heaven Continent" by many sects, and was unable to communicate with other continents or exchange goods.

Just like the Xuanbing Palace, a major sect in the north of the Southern Continent, they tricked the Shenxiao Dao Sect once and killed two Nascent Soul Realm seedlings!

Otherwise, Li Yunjing would not have been able to go on a killing spree on the territory of the "Mysterious Ice Palace," killing several Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to avenge himself.

Now, Xiao Yuntian's proposal made Li Yunjing ecstatic.

Once they break free from the "Mysterious Ice Palace" blockade and connect with the "Luofu Continent," the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" will directly break through the blockade and re-establish contact with the entire world!
“I, Li, thank you on behalf of the Shenxiao Dao Sect for your kindness, Patriarch Xiao.”

Li Yunjing solemnly clasped his hands in greeting, then took out the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" and branded the unique thunder seal of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" onto the alliance agreement.

Of course, this is not the final decision!

It still needs Ming Lingchuan's "Divine Firmament Seal" to be stamped; only then will it be the final result of the alliance between the two major forces. Li Yunjing's current signing represents the highest level of intent!
It's almost a done deal.

As long as Ming Lingchuan doesn't object!

In Li Yunjing's view, Ming Lingchuan had no reason to object to this.

The benefits this brings to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" are unimaginable!
If handled properly, the main force of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" could even reach "Zixiao City" directly through an ultra-long-distance teleportation array and surround "Xuanbing Palace" from the other side!

Internally, it can deal with the "Mysterious Ice Palace," and externally, it can intervene in the "Luofu Continent"!
Li Yunjing had even envisioned a bright future for the sect's rise!
When the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" merged with the Xiao family's "Purple Cloud Seal," the entire scroll of the covenant suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.

A bolt of purple lightning shot straight into the sky, transforming into the two characters "盟成" (Meng Cheng) high above the ground, clearly visible for miles around.

A series of exclamations immediately came from outside the hall.

Within "Purple Cloud City," many forces were taken aback, never expecting that the Xiao family and "Divine Cloud Dao Sect" had formed an alliance without any prior notice!
What is this for?
Just as outsiders were discussing the matter, Xiao Yuntian stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction: "From today onwards, my Xiao family and the 'Shenxiao Dao Sect' are one family."

"I, Li, agree a thousand times over!"

Li Yunjing smiled and said, "However, I am not the leader of the Shenxiao Dao Sect after all. I will leave a letter and ask the envoy of the Xiao clan to travel across mountains and rivers to the Shenxiao Mountain Range to complete the true alliance!"

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuntian immediately slammed his hand on the table and said, "I will arrange for the most elite delegation to go to the 'Southern Heaven Continent' right away!"

He turned to Xiao Han beside him and instructed, "Xiao Han, you will personally lead the team, select two Supreme Elders, prepare generous gifts, and escort Fellow Daoist Li back to the sect."

"Rest assured, Patriarch, Xiao Han will certainly live up to your expectations."

Xiao Han solemnly accepted the order and said in a deep voice.

"Wait a minute!"

Li Yunjing was startled and quickly stopped him, saying, "Your delegation can go, but I cannot!"

"Ok?"

Xiao Yuntian and the rest of the Xiao clan were all stunned, not understanding what was going on.

"I have something to do!"

Li Yunjing smiled and explained, "I've also spoken with Xiao Zu. He knows that I'm on the orders of a great figure, heading north to the 'far north.'"

At this moment, Li Yunjing, wanting to glorify himself, naturally wouldn't say that he was being restrained by someone with a restriction, and that he would die if he didn't go.

"So that's it!"

Xiao Yuntian was taken aback, nodded, and then looked at Li Yunjing: "Fellow Daoist Li, to ensure a smooth journey, my Xiao family can provide a 'Purple Sky Flying Boat'. This boat can travel 100,000 li a day and has a concealment formation to avoid being seen along the way."

Li Yunjing's heart stirred.

The "Purple Sky Flying Boat" is a treasure of the Xiao family. With its help, not only can the journey be greatly shortened, but the blockade by forces along the way can also be avoided.

Why is Xiao Yuntian betting so much?

This made Li Yunjing secretly admire Xiao Yuntian's magnanimity in handling matters!
This is truly a remarkable person!
The alliance is of great benefit to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and also to the Xiao Clan!
The Xiao family's current strength is enough to temporarily contend with the royal family, but it's unknown how many years this battle will last!

The Xiao family needs to win over all the forces they can utilize.

The "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has indeed become an ally of the "Xiao Clan" and has sent a large number of experts to the "Luofu Continent". They will definitely help the court!
what?
Not going to help?
That is impossible!

The strength of the Xiao clan would greatly benefit the Shenxiao Dao Sect. Only when the Xiao clan established itself and built its own empire would the power of the Shenxiao Dao Sect extend to the Luofu Continent.

The two complement each other, and everyone benefits from their cooperation.

Anyone who isn't a short-term player will absolutely not refrain from participating in the struggles of the "Luofu Continent" just to protect their reputation!

"In that case, I thank you in advance."

Li Yunjing did not refuse this kindness. He solemnly clasped his hands in a fist and said, "However, before I leave, there is one more thing I would like to ask of you."

"Fellow Daoist Li, please feel free to speak."

Xiao Yuntian laughed.

"This is a safe route map to the 'Shenxiao Mountains'."

Li Yunjing took out a jade slip: "To prevent the 'Mysterious Ice Palace' from discovering this, I ask Patriarch Xiao not to make this public for the time being. After the delegation departs, we can announce to the outside world that we are going to the 'Southern Heaven Continent' for sightseeing."

"Fellow Daoist Li has considered everything thoroughly."

Xiao Yuntian nodded in understanding: "We will do as you say."

Given the relationship between the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and the various sects of the "Southern Heaven Continent," Xiao Yuntian's high status was known even to those far away in the "Luofu Continent."

If they had stated their purpose directly, Xiao Han and the others would probably have disappeared from the "Southern Continent" without even realizing it.

Countless forces know the truth and want to kill them!
No force wants to see the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" break out!

This further solidified Xiao Yuntian's idea of ​​winning over the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

You'll only truly give it your all if I provide you with the opportunity, because you have an urgent need for it!

This is not for the sake of the Xiao clan, but also for the sake of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" itself!
Three days later, outside "Zixiao City".

A flying boat made entirely of purple jade hovered in mid-air, its hull covered with mysterious runes, shimmering with a purple glow in the sunlight.

Xiao Han, along with two Nascent Soul Stage 1 Elders of the Xiao family and ten Golden Core elites, were already waiting on the boat.

"Brother Xiao, you must personally deliver this letter to Sect Leader Ming Lingchuan."

Li Yunjing handed Xiao Han a handwritten letter bearing the seal of the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor".

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Li, I will personally deliver it."

Xiao Han solemnly accepted it and put it into his "storage ring".

On the other side, Xiao Yuntian also gave some instructions before letting Xiao Han and the others leave "Zixiao City" and head south.

As for the "Mysterious Ice Palace"?
The Xiao family has a good relationship with the "Mysterious Ice Palace"!

Otherwise, the people from the "Mysterious Ice Palace" would not have been able to enter the "Luofu Continent" to do business and scheme for profit.

As long as Xiao Han and his group don't reveal their purpose, the people from the Xuanbing Palace have no way to stop them!

As for the future?

After the alliance was established, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" sent a top-level array master to set up an ultra-long-distance teleportation array, and everything became a done deal.

It's pointless for the "Mysterious Ice Palace" to turn against them now.

“Lord Xiao, now that I have repaired the formation for Zixiao City and completed my mission, I am ready to continue north with my wife and friends.”

Li Yunjing bowed and expressed his gratitude.

"Oh? Grandmaster Li is leaving?"

Xiao Yuntian was taken aback, but then he realized what was happening.

Honestly, Xiao Yuntian really didn't want to let Li Yunjing go; he was a young grandmaster of array formations!

However, Li Yunjing's identity was special, and they could not be forced to stay.

"Then I wish all my fellow Daoists a safe journey and that you may achieve your wishes!"

Xiao Yuntian laughed.

"Thank you!"

Li Yun nodded and solemnly bid farewell to his friends from the Xiao clan.

As for the other array masters, Li Yunjing did not visit them or say goodbye. Their relationship was just average; they were just colleagues and not close friends.

Zhao Qi and Su Muqing also bowed to the Xiao family members to say goodbye.

After Xiao Yuntian and the others returned to "Zixiao City", Li Yunjing turned to the two women and said, "It's time for us to set off as well."

Having lingered in "Purple Cloud City" for half a year, wasting a lot of energy, Li Yunjing was quite anxious, so the three of them took to the air.

In the blink of an eye, "Zixiao City" has become a small black dot behind us.

"Husband, where do we go next?"

Zhao Qi approached Li Yunjing and asked.

"First, travel three thousand miles north to 'Cold Crow Valley'."

Li Yunjing took out a yellowed map: "That's the nearby central hub. There's a teleportation array there. We'll teleport through the array and go directly to the capital of the 'Chang'an Dynasty'!"

"I've heard that 'Raven Valley' is the territory of the 'Chang'an Dynasty,' and they don't get along well with us!"

Su Muqing frowned upon hearing this: "If they find out our identities, we may not be able to leave safely."

"It doesn't matter."

A cold glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes. "I haven't really shown my face in 'Zixiao City,' so the people of the 'Chang'an Dynasty' might not even know I exist!"

"For safety's sake, let's change our identities, shall we?"

Zhao Qi suggested.

"Okay! From now on, you can call me Li Wutian!"

Li Yunjing took out his vest again and used it.
