Chapter 671 The Strong Prey on the Weak, Knowing When to Choose (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Go away!"

The Blood Demon Ancestor roared, his body churning with a sea of ​​blood that transformed into countless blood blades that attacked the Void Sword Master.

When the two Nascent Soul stage experts clashed, the heavens and earth changed color.

"Boom!"

The aftershocks of the collision between the sea of ​​blood and the sword light razed three nearby side halls to the ground!
"Amitabha……"

The Great Compassionate Zen Master suddenly appeared, and amidst the radiant light of Buddha, he completely concealed an entire medicinal garden. "Esteemed benefactors, why be so attached..."

"The bald donkey is looking for death!"

The Nine Nether Demon Lord, riding thousands of demonic puppets, charged in, and demonic energy clashed fiercely with Buddhist light.

The entire secret realm descended into unprecedented chaos.

Emperor Huangze rode his nine-dragon chariot and crashed directly into the main hall: "The inheritance belongs to me!"

"boom!"

The protective barrier surrounding the main hall trembled violently, and Li Yunjing, who was in the middle of his meditation, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The four Nascent Soul cultivators protecting the Dharma changed their expressions drastically: "Not good! The restriction is about to break!"

"You dog emperor! Don't even think about taking all the benefits for yourself!"

Li Yunjing, that little brat, was the first to receive the inheritance, so he wasn't worried. But when Emperor Huangze made a move, he got anxious. The Blood Demon Ancestor's eyes were bloodshot, and he actually burned his essence blood to use a forbidden secret technique, "Blood God Disintegration Technique!"

The towering blood wave transformed into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky, fiercely grabbing at Li Yunjing, who was standing in the pillar of light in the main hall.

Upon seeing this, the Sword Master of Taixu unhesitatingly summoned his natal flying sword: "Taixu Slash of the Dao!"

The sword light collided with the bloody hand, unleashing a devastating shockwave.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Great Compassionate Zen Master unleashed his Vajra Bowl and seized both nearby medicinal gardens.

"Get out of my way, all of you!"

The Lord of Ten Thousand Demons revealed his true form as a Chaotic Demon Ape and punched towards the main hall.

Emperor Huangze snorted coldly, and nine dragons emerged to clash with him.

In the midst of the chaos, no one noticed that a wisp of black energy quietly crept into the main hall—it was none other than the Ghost Emperor who had escaped earlier!
"Boy, accept your fate!"

The Ghost Emperor grinned and pounced on Li Yunjing.

"Esteemed seniors, such a legacy is not something a junior like me can covet!"

At the critical moment, Li Yunjing suddenly opened his eyes, a Daoist aura swirling within them: "Go!"

As he spoke, Li Yunjing suddenly threw the floating jade slip out, which shot high into the sky to the core area where everyone was fighting.

Instantly, the eyes of all the True Monarchs at the Nascent Soul stage lit up, and each of them burst forth with dazzling azure light.

Just as the Ghost Emperor turned around, wanting to covet the jade slip, he was struck by more than a dozen divine, Buddhist, and immortal lights. He screamed and his body instantly melted away.

"No! I was so close!"

The Ghost Emperor retreated in terror, yelling, "You damned bastards!"

Seeing the Nascent Soul experts fighting tooth and nail for the jade slip, Li Yunjing immediately transmitted his voice to the four Nascent Soul cultivators from the four major families: "Hurry! While they're fighting for the inheritance, let's plunder the other side halls!"

He only obtained one-third of the inheritance from the main hall, and he saw the content related to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm!
My heart is filled with countless regrets!
But Li Yunjing dared not continue watching.

Many Nascent Soul Realm True Monarchs have already made their move. If this continues, he will die immediately once the restriction is broken!
In a life-or-death situation, what is the meaning of even the best inheritance?
Therefore, Li Yunjing chose the best course of action: to throw away the "Mysterious Heaven Primordial Dao Scripture" in order to save his life and take advantage of the chaos to gain more benefits in the "Mysterious Heaven Secret Realm".

"it is good!"

The four immortals understood and immediately escorted Li Yunjing out of the main hall.

They were also unwilling to accept defeat. They had also seen some of the contents of the "Mysterious Heaven Primordial Dao Scripture," but their comprehension ability was much worse than Li Yunjing's.

They had only just seen records of the Nascent Soul realm.

They were completely absorbed in watching, but the outsiders disturbed them, which fueled their hatred and made them want to go on a killing spree.

However, those Nascent Soul Realm True Monarchs outside the palace were too powerful; how could they, mere Nascent Soul Realm True Persons, possibly fight them?
They had barely left when a deafening explosion came from the direction of the main hall, and the entire secret realm shook violently.

"Fellow Daoist Li, which way should we go?"

"Old Ancestor Ximen asked in a low voice."

"Go to the alchemy room in the northwest corner!"

Li Yunjing's eyes flashed like lightning as he quickly scanned the surroundings: "The restrictions there are weaker, and the Great Compassionate Zen Master was only focused on collecting herbs in the herb garden, so he probably didn't have time to search the alchemy room."

The five quickly passed through the ruins, encountering several groups of cultivators along the way who also wanted to take advantage of the chaos, but they were all easily dealt with by the four Nascent Soul cultivators.

Just as they were about to reach the alchemy room, they suddenly heard the sounds of fierce fighting ahead.

"They're from the 'Tai Xu Sword Sect'!"

Old Ancestor Ouyang narrowed his eyes, "They are fighting with the people of the 'Huangze Dynasty' for the entrance to the alchemy room!"

"Change place!"

Li Yunjing's face was grim, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "We cannot compete with the 'Taixu Sword Sect' and the 'Huangze Dynasty'!"

"That's all it can do."

"I'm not entirely willing," said the old ancestor Gongyang, somewhat unwillingly.

This time, there are too many experts and top forces appearing. Even the four great families have to give way. This is the reality of the cultivation world!
The weak eat the strong!

If you want to compete for something, you need to assess your own capabilities.

Without strength, even getting a sip of soup is a difficult thing.

Li Yunjing led the four Nascent Soul cultivators and quickly changed direction, heading towards a secluded palace in the southeast corner of the secret realm.

The spiritual energy there is relatively thin compared to other places, and the buildings are dilapidated, clearly indicating that it was a peripheral area even during the heyday of the "Mysterious Heaven Realm".

"Fellow Daoist Li, what good things could there be in a place like this?"

Zhuge Laozu frowned and asked.

"It is precisely because it is inconspicuous that it may be overlooked."

Li Yunjing's eyes gleamed: "Those powerful forces look down on this place, which has given us an opportunity. As for the truly good stuff, can we compete? There are already more than ten True Monarchs at the Nascent Soul stage!"

After hearing this, no one else dared to complain.

They even began to summon back their scattered family members.

"Oh no! This side hall is also protected by a restriction."

However, not long after they arrived, the elders sensed trouble.

As they spoke, they all turned their gazes toward Li Yunjing.

We went to great lengths to get this grandmaster of array formations involved, wasn't it all for this moment?

"Wait a moment! Let me take a look."

Li Yunjing was unaware of the urgency of the situation and the need to act quickly. Without wasting any time, he immediately stood at the door and began to study the situation.

Li Yunjing stood before the dilapidated palace gate, his eyes slightly closed, a wisp of pale golden divine sense gathering at his fingertips, slowly probing towards the seemingly crumbling yet mysterious restriction.

"really."

He frowned slightly, sensing the ancient runes flowing within the restriction. "This is no ordinary protective formation, but the 'Nine Revolutions Profound Spirit Restriction,' a means used to protect important side halls."

Upon hearing this, the four Nascent Soul cultivators' expressions changed slightly.

"Nine Revolutions Profound Spirit Restriction?"

The old patriarch Zhuge whispered, "It is said that this restriction becomes stronger when faced with a powerful opponent. If it is forcibly broken, it may even trigger a backlash, directly annihilating the intruder."

Li Yunjing did not answer, but instead took out an ancient bronze compass from his storage ring, which was his "Mysterious Heaven Compass".

With a gentle toss, the "Mysterious Heavenly Compass" floated in the air, emitting a faint spiritual light.

He made hand seals, his fingertips shifting like phantoms, and array patterns condensed in the air, echoing the compass.

"This restriction has nine layers of variation, each of which hides a deadly trap."

Li Yunjing said in a deep voice, "But with the passage of time, the power of the restriction is not as strong as before. We don't need to completely break it. We just need to find the weakest link and briefly open a gap."

"Buzzing..."

After he finished speaking, he pointed his finger, and the runes on the "Mysterious Heaven Compass" suddenly lit up, projecting a phantom light screen that shone on the palace gate.

Within the light screen, the patterns of the restriction were clearly visible, though several nodes had dimmed, indicating that vulnerabilities had appeared due to their age.

"Heavenly Secrets and Divine Techniques" and "Array Dao Knowledge" rapidly calculated and deduced various changes within Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness.

A quarter of an hour later, all the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from the four major families gathered here, their eyes fixed on Li Yunjing with tension.

At this moment, more and more True Monarchs at the Nascent Soul Realm and True Persons at the Divine Transformation Realm are entering the "Mysterious Heaven Secret Realm".

Instead of looting supplies, the powerful figures directly joined the most brutal battlefield to compete for the "Mysterious Heaven Primordial Dao Scripture".

Seeing no opportunity, some of the weaker Nascent Soul stage True Monarchs began to decipher the side halls and secret vaults, searching for resources from hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Like the four major families, many other forces also chose to plunder the visible treasures within the secret realm.

After all, every plant and tree here is a precious thing that hasn't been harvested for hundreds of thousands of years.

Even a single herb obtained could fetch an astronomical price, allowing one to exchange it for valuable items. At the entrance of almost every side hall, cultivators would gather.

Naturally, some people also passed by Li Yunjing and his group, wanting to explore, but twenty Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from the four major families blocked them all with menacing eyes.

This forced these people to leave.

After all, no one saw what was inside the side hall, so it wasn't worth starting a battle with twenty Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

"found it!"

A glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes, and he slammed his hands together, shouting, "Open!"

"Om..."

The "Mysterious Heaven Compass" trembled violently, and a golden light pierced the weakest point of the restriction like a sharp sword. The originally invisible barrier immediately rippled, spreading out like waves.

"Quick! The restriction will only last for three breaths!"

Li Yunjing gave a low shout and, with lightning speed, rushed into the hall first.

The four patriarchs reacted extremely quickly, leading the others closely behind, and in the last instant before the barrier closed again, they all slipped inside.

"boom!"

The barrier behind him trembled violently, then returned to its original state, as if it had never been touched.

As soon as the five people stepped into the palace, they smelled a putrid odor.

The hall was covered with cobwebs, and broken fragments of magical artifacts were scattered on the ground.

"This is... a weapon-refining workshop?"

Old Master Ximen picked up a piece of metal that gleamed with a bluish light.

"That was close."

Old Ancestor Ouyang breathed a sigh of relief, "If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Li's expertise in array formations, we probably wouldn't have even been able to get through the door."

"Time is of the essence, hurry up and loot, take as much as you can!"

Li Yunjing put away the compass and glanced around the hall: "We've already looted one side hall, and we still need to go to other places. We can't have come here for nothing!"

"Yes!"

The five people quickly dispersed and began their own search.

Although this side hall is inconspicuous, it was left behind by an ancient powerful being, and even the most peripheral hall contains many precious items.

However, just as they began their search...

"Crack!"

A crisp cracking sound suddenly came from outside the hall, followed by a violent tremor in the entire side hall's protective barrier, as if it had been subjected to some powerful impact!
"not good!"

Li Yunjing suddenly looked up, his expression changing drastically: "Someone is forcibly breaking the seal outside!"

"what?!"

The four elders were shocked. "Could it be that people from the 'Tai Xu Sword Sect' or the 'Huang Ze Dynasty' have come after us?"

"No, this aura belongs to the demonic sect and the Buddhist sect!"

Li Yunjing's eyes flashed with a cold light: "What do you suggest we do?"

Before the words were finished, the restrictions at the palace gate suddenly shattered, and a chilling voice accompanied by eerie ghostly energy echoed...

"Do you really think those ants from the four major families can escape our eyes?"

Three black-robed cultivators stepped on the broken fragments of the protective barrier and slowly entered the hall. The one in the lead was none other than an old monster at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage!

Then, a group of eminent Buddhist monks entered from another direction.

Li Yunjing's eyes darkened, and he thought to himself, "This is troublesome."

"What else can we do? Kill them!"

Old Ancestor Ouyang glared fiercely at these uninvited guests.

"Do it!"

Ancestor Ximen, Ancestor Gongyang, and Ancestor Zhuge led experts from the four major families to make their move.

"Then do it!"

Li Yunjing did not hesitate and also took out his own array plate, preparing to set up a large array.

"Hmph! You're courting death! You dare to resist?"

The two newly arrived groups immediately engaged in battle with the experts from the four major families.

"Hehehe! So you had a grandmaster of array formations helping you. No wonder you got in so quickly!"

The moment a demonic cultivator ambushed Li Yunjing, he was struck by a divine lightning bolt and took two steps back. Suddenly, his right hand, which had been hidden behind his waist, shot out, and his fingers transformed into five indestructible ghost energy spearheads, aiming for Li Yunjing's throat, heart, and other vital points.

"You want to kill me? You think you can?"

Faced with the opponent's fierce offensive, Li Yunjing remained calm and quickly set up a large formation, enveloping himself within it and making it difficult for the opponent to do anything to him.

At this moment, Li Yunjing observed the situation from all directions.

He wasn't in a hurry to unleash his full power; he was waiting for the four major families to "rescue" him.

"Amitabha!"

On the other side, the four major families, with their superior numbers and power, gradually gained the upper hand. The demonic and Buddhist masters who entered one after another formed an alliance to deal with the people of the four major families.

One of the Zen masters seemed to recognize Li Yunjing's importance and flew towards him, intending to kill this grandmaster of array formations.

"Fellow Daoist, quickly dispel this evil formation, or don't blame this humble monk for being ruthless."

The middle-aged monk formed the Vajra Lotus Mudra with his hands, condensing the vast Buddhist power into a Dharma wheel.

Instantly, a Vajra Dharma Image burst forth from the Dharma Wheel and delivered a fierce punch to Li Yunjing's array restrictions!
"Boom!"

Li Yunjing's "Five Elements Grand Array" blocked an attack from the Wrathful Vajra, and then quickly shattered like glass. The scattered true essence transformed into a Tai Chi diagram, dissipating all the Buddhist power.

Taking advantage of the force, Li Yunjing leaped out of the formation's range.

"Get into formation!"

He didn't retreat more than three zhang before throwing out an array plate.

Instantly, the "Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array" was activated. Pure thunder power surged out from the array plate underground, connecting with the primordial energy of heaven and earth, transforming into a grotto-heaven world.

"Boom!"

The "Five Elements Divine Thunder" completely surrounded the demonic cultivator and the middle-aged monk, with all the power of the five elements and thunder directed at the two of them, moving with their every move.

"You think you can trap this demon with such a mere formation!"

Faced with the current situation, the demonic cultivator showed no panic. Instead, he sneered and took out a series of puppet figures.

These eight puppet figures were thrown out by him, and in mid-air they transformed into eight demonic cultivators that were exactly the same as them, forming a Nine Palaces Formation.

"Amitabha! Fellow Daoist, although your mastery of array formations is considerable, your overall cultivation level is still not high. Please withdraw the evil array to avoid endangering your life."

The Buddhist monks, with calm expressions, spread their influence throughout the various corners of the formation.

He used the "Demon-Slaying Spell" to pinpoint Li Yunjing's location as soon as he opened his mouth.

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow and immediately sensed that the bald monk had ill intentions.

"Since you're courting death, don't blame me!"

Li Yunjing sneered, then suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the array plate in his hand.

In an instant, the entire "Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array" trembled violently, and the originally scattered thunder power suddenly condensed into five ferocious thunder dragons, which coiled and roared within the array space.

"The five elements unite, and the lightning tribulation destroys the demon!"

Li Yunjing formed hand seals, and the five thunder dragons instantly merged, transforming into a dazzling purple-gold heavenly lightning bolt that struck down towards the demonic cultivator and the Buddhist cultivator!
"not good!"

The demonic cultivator's expression changed drastically. His eight puppet clones simultaneously formed hand seals, creating a blood-red barrier above their heads.

"Amitabha, Aye Soha!"

The monk chanted a mantra, and a dazzling golden lotus flower bloomed from between his eyebrows, its petals unfolding layer by layer, with ancient Sanskrit characters appearing on each petal.

This is precisely the Lotus Mantra of Buddhism that he practiced!
The moment the golden lotus bloomed, the entire side hall was enveloped in pure Buddhist light.

The golden lotus slowly rotated, outlining a blurry phantom of a Buddha in the void.

"Buzz!"

A solemn Buddhist chant resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The phantom of the Buddha gently raised his hand, and a pure Buddhist light shot straight into the sky, shattering the five "Five Elements Divine Thunders" that were about to strike down!
"Great!"

Li Yunjing shouted sharply, immediately changing his offensive stance to a defensive one.

He wasn't surprised by the performance of the two enemies, after all, he hadn't used his full strength. He hadn't used many powerful formations, but instead used the weakest one to just go through the motions.

He couldn't possibly risk his life against someone with the members of the four major families present!

The four major families may not be reliable!
He also needed to retain some means of self-protection in case of unforeseen circumstances.

This time, upon arriving at the "Mysterious Heaven Secret Realm," he trusted neither Ye Wuhen of the "Heavenly Demon Sect" nor any of the four major families!
Seeing that the Buddha and the Demon had broken his Five Elements Thunder Technique, a glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
