Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 724 Shattering Three Formations in Succession to Block a Powerful Enemy (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
He made a hand seal with his fingertips, and the huge copper coin hanging at his waist suddenly flew up, and the two characters "乾坤" (Qiankun) on the coin actually flew out, looking very lifelike.

"Heaven and Earth!!"

The copper coin at Chu Xinghe's fingertip suddenly surged a thousand feet, the "Qian" character on the front radiating golden light, while the "Kun" character on the back churned with black energy, actually condensing into a yin-yang fish phantom outside the lightning net.

As the phantom spun, it generated a devouring force, and the lightning patterns of the "Five Elements Thunder Prison Array" were gradually pulled into the eyes of the Yin-Yang fish, emitting a sizzling melting sound.

“The ‘Qiankun Copper Coin’ of the ‘Star River Dao Sect’ is indeed well-deserved of its reputation.”

Li Yunjing's eyes narrowed, and he made a hand seal with his left hand. The Five Elements Token suddenly exploded, turning into five rays of primordial spiritual light that merged into the lightning net.

Metal sharpens its edge, wood softens its momentum, water nourishes its texture, fire intensifies its power, and earth solidifies its foundation!
The lightning net expanded instantly, and phantom images of mountains, rivers, vegetation, and raging fire appeared within the purple-gold lightning, forcefully resisting the yin-yang fish's devouring attack.

At the same time, he raised his right hand, and the "Yin-Yang Mirror" flew out, with black rays symbolizing death heading towards Chu Xinghe and Fei Zhenrong.

"Old Fei, try this!"

At the same time, a cold light flashed in Li Yunjing's hand, and the "Boundary-Breaking Sword" bypassed the edge of the ice array and rushed straight for Fei Zhenrong's face.

The "Boundary-Breaking Sword" is silent yet carries the aura of shattering everything, making it a powerful weapon against ice-type defenses.

"Little tricks!"

Fei Zhenrong snorted coldly, and the twelve "Ice Soul Pearls" turned around in unison, spewing out extremely cold air to freeze the black light. However, the black light was fierce and flashed past, penetrating the defense and continuing to shoot at Fei Zhenrong.

"not good!"

Fei Zhenrong's pupils contracted sharply, and he hastily summoned a Xuanbing shield to defend himself.

The black light collided with the shield, producing a piercing cracking sound, and ice shards flew everywhere.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted from Fei Zhenrong's mouth. He staggered back several steps, his eyes filled with horror: "What kind of sword is this?"

"I'll cut down your sword!"

Li Yunjing sneered, but he sighed inwardly. Such a deadly move still hadn't dealt Fei Zhenrong a serious blow!
This was undoubtedly a wasted opportunity.

Li Yunjing felt extremely regretful that he couldn't seize such an opportunity in a duel between masters.

"Fellow Daoist Li is quite good at hiding his true intentions."

Seeing this, Chu Xinghe spun the copper coin, and the yin-yang fish phantom suddenly reversed, reflecting some of the black light back towards Li Yunjing.

"Well done!"

Li Yunjing neither dodged nor evaded. The Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal and the Five Dragon Wheel flew out, forming a shield of five elements and thunder in front of him.

The black light collided with the lightning shield, unleashing a blinding burst of light.

"Boom..."

Amidst the blinding light, the lightning shield trembled violently, and the nine layers of lightning patterns on its surface shattered inch by inch.

Li Yunjing was so shocked that he took three steps back. A sweet taste rose in his throat, but he forced himself to swallow the blood that was rising in his throat.

He glanced at his shoulder; the "Nine Heavens Thunder Pattern Daoist Robe" had been scorched with a hole by the rebounding black light, and a layer of fine frost had condensed on the exposed skin, which was Fei Zhenrong's Xuanbing Sha that had taken the opportunity to invade.

"Fellow Daoist Li, are you still going to put on a brave face?"

Chu Xinghe's voice carried a hint of mockery. The Qiankun Copper Coin hovered in mid-air, and the Yin-Yang Fish phantom spun even faster. "Your Golden Core cultivation level won't last much longer."

“Fellow Daoist Chu is right.”

Fei Zhenrong recovered, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and rearranged the twelve Ice Soul Beads to form a smaller but more condensed ice array: "Today I will show you the consequences of offending two major sects!"

Before he finished speaking, the ice array suddenly shot out twelve ice lines, which wrapped around Li Yunjing like a spider web. Each ice line was wrapped with Xuanbing Sha, which could freeze spiritual power.

Chu Xinghe then activated the Qiankun Copper Coin, and two streams of air shot out from the mouth of the Yin-Yang Fish.

The golden energy was like a knife, and the black energy was like mud; one attack and one trap sealed off all escape routes.

"Boom!"

At that moment, the "Sky Patrol Ship" finally opened fire.

The array patterns on the deck suddenly lit up, resonating with the humming sound coming from deep within the ship.

That was the phenomenon of Zhao Hao and Liu Yun controlling the "Sky Patrol Ship" in the cockpit, activating all the high-grade spirit stone energy stored in the ship through the array.

These attacks did not harm Chu Xinghe or Fei Zhenrong, but they slowed down their advance, giving Li Yunjing a little time!
"Let's have a fight!"

Li Yunjing let out a long roar, and the spiritual power within his body suddenly surged. The originally dim lightning patterns lit up again, and actually condensed into a lightning battle statue that was a hundred feet tall around his body.

The war statue holds the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" in its left hand and the "Boundary-Breaking Sword" in its right. A vertical eye floats between its eyebrows, which is the "Creation God Eye".

At this critical moment, Li Yunjing actually took the initiative to leave the "Sky Patrol Ship" and engaged in a close-quarters battle with Chu Xinghe and Fei Zhenrong!
"This is... borrowing a spirit to become a god?!"

Chu Xinghe's pupils shrank sharply. He had never seen anyone with the cultivation of a Golden Core cultivator use the magic treasure and spiritual veins to create a Heavenly God Dharma Image.

Such methods greatly shocked Chu Xinghe, and his killing intent intensified even further.

The Star River Dao Sect and the Divine Firmament Dao Sect have no enmity with each other!
However, Li Yunjing's appearance made the "Star River Dao Sect" feel that it was in danger.

Now, Chu Xinghe has decided that no matter the cost, he will kill Li Yunjing and Aman!

If they were to grow a few more years, they would likely become a common threat to all sects.

Chu Xinghe and Fei Zhenrong exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes. They nodded and immediately reached an agreement: to kill Li Yunjing at all costs!
"kill!"

After the two masters blocked the bombardment from the "Sky Patrol Ship's" cannons, they immediately unleashed a series of magical treasures and surrounded Li Yunjing.

"Killing me isn't that easy!"

Under Li Yunjing's control, the Thunder War Statue raised its hand and waved, and the "Boundary-Breaking Sword" transformed into a purple rainbow, forcefully severing the ice line.

The "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" crashed into the illusory yin-yang fish. The thunder patterns on the seal collided with the two characters "Qiankun" on the copper coin, unleashing a deafening Dao sound, as if the laws of heaven and earth were clashing.

"puff……"

Chu Xinghe and Fei Zhenrong were both shaken by the Dao sound, causing their blood and qi to surge. Fei Zhenrong's ice array instantly collapsed, and Chu Xinghe's Qiankun Copper Coin also dimmed slightly.

"Impossible!" Fei Zhenrong was both shocked and furious. He clearly felt that Li Yunjing's spiritual energy fluctuations were still within the Golden Core realm, but his combat power was actually slightly stronger than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul sixth-level cultivator!
"puff……"

Instead of pressing his advantage, Li Yunjing coughed up blood, looking utterly disheveled.

In terms of cultivation, he is inferior to these two formidable enemies.

His ability to fight the opponent was entirely due to the sharpness of his magical weapons. Seeing that he was no match for them, he suppressed his injuries and shouted to the "Sky Patrol Ship": "Zhao Hao, go full speed ahead and charge out!"

In the cockpit, Zhao Hao and Liu Yun exchanged a glance and simultaneously pressed the red crystal on the ship's hull.

"Boom!"

The "Sky Patrol Ship" suddenly let out a roar like a dragon's cry, and three golden flames shot out from its stern. The entire ship shot off like an arrow and rushed into the depths of the "Crossing Mountains".

That was the heartland of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," where there were at least four or five Supreme Elders. Once they rushed into the formation area, even the two major sects would not dare to act recklessly.

"Want to run?"

Chu Xinghe sneered, and the Qiankun Copper Coin surged again, transforming into a canopy that blocked the "Sky Patrol Ship".

"Stop him!"

Fei Zhenrong also unleashed his final trump card: twelve Ice Soul Pearls fused together into an ice spear, its tip gleaming with a chilling blue light, aimed directly at the power compartment of the "Sky Patrol Ship".

At this critical moment, Li Yunjing made his move: "Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon Extermination Array", "Cloud Sea Golden Lamp Array", and "Nine Heavens Heavenly Thunder Array"—all three array plates flew out.

Three large formations were instantly set up in a triangular pattern, blocking Chu Xinghe and Fei Zhenrong inside the formations.

The moment the three great formations landed, the spiritual energy in the world suddenly became violent!

The "Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array" was activated first, with five colorful lightning bolts shooting out from the array's eye, weaving into a giant net in the air. Thunder roared at the net's eye, truly possessing the power to destroy the world.

Fei Zhenrong's ice spear had just pierced the net when it was shattered by lightning, and the twelve Ice Soul Beads were also sent flying back by the shock.

The "Golden Lantern Array of the Cloud Sea" followed closely behind, with countless golden lanterns rising from the array like twinkling stars, yet radiating a scorching purifying power.

The rolling clouds churned and swirled, and for a moment, the two masters were separated, unable to see each other.

Just as Chu Xinghe's Qiankun Coin was about to absorb the array's power, it was violently shaken by the golden lamp, and most of the black aura on the "Kun" character on the coin was dispelled.

The "Nine Heavens Thunder Formation" is the most domineering, directly drawing in thunder from the nine heavens, transforming it into thunder dragons that roar and charge towards the two trapped inside.

Fei Zhenrong's Xuanbing Sha melted away by the Thunder Dragon's touch, and Chu Xinghe had to use all his strength to activate the copper coin in order to barely withstand the Thunder Dragon's impact.

"What a formidable display!"

Chu Xinghe's expression turned solemn. He hadn't expected that Li Yunjing could activate three high-grade formations at the same time.

"Humph!"

Although Fei Zhenrong was unwilling, he knew that this was not the time to argue.

He formed a hand seal, and the twelve Ice Soul Beads merged once more, this time transforming into an Ice Qilin. The Qilin spewed out extremely cold air, freezing even the lightning into ice sculptures wherever it passed!

Chu Xinghe then unleashed his natal magic weapon, the "Star River Map," from which billions of stars appeared. The power of the stars transformed into a pillar of light, piercing directly into the core of the "Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array." That was precisely where a wisp of divine thought left behind by Li Yunjing resided.

"Boom!" The ice unicorn smashed the thunder dragon, and the "Star River Map" beam pierced the lightning net. The three great formations trembled violently at the same time, and fine cracks appeared on the formation patterns.

Just then, the "Sky Patrol Ship" broke through the sky barrier, and the golden flames at its stern surged again, plunging into the depths of the dense forest of the "Mountain Crossing" like a meteor.

Standing in the driver's seat, Zhao Hao gazed at the battlefield receding into the distance outside the porthole, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Senior Sister Liu, accelerate! Don't look back!"

With tears in her eyes, Liu Yun nodded and continuously poured spirit stones into the power compartment.

She knew that only if they safely reached the heart of the sect and summoned the sect's experts stationed there could they help Vice Sect Leader Li.

As for their own strength?
That would be too weak.

Staying here would not only fail to help Li Yunjing, but would also become a burden to him.

Within the grand formation, Li Yunjing sensed that the "Sky Patrol Ship" had already departed, and a relieved smile appeared on his lips.

He suddenly unleashed his last bit of spiritual power, and the three great formations suddenly contracted simultaneously, trapping Chu Xinghe and Fei Zhenrong tightly. Lightning and golden lamps intertwined within the formations, unleashing unprecedented power!
"Oh no! He's going to take us all down with him!"

Chu Xinghe's expression changed drastically. He quickly withdrew the "Star River Map" and formed a defensive formation with Fei Zhenrong a thousand feet away.

"boom……"

The three great formations exploded simultaneously, and the violent spiritual energy formed a huge mushroom cloud that leveled the mountains and forests within a hundred miles.

Chu Xinghe and Fei Zhenrong were thrown away by the shockwave, their clothes tattered and blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.

Although they survived, they were seriously injured.

When the smoke and dust cleared, only a huge crater remained, and there was no sign of Li Yunjing anywhere.
"What about people?!"

Fei Zhenrong roared and scanned his surroundings, but he couldn't detect even a trace of spiritual energy fluctuations.

Chu Xinghe gripped the Qiankun Coin tightly in his hand, and the cracks on the coin deepened even further.

"Let's go! To the heart of the Shenxiao Dao Sect!"

He gazed in the direction where the "sky patrol ship" had disappeared, a shadow of gloom flashing in his eyes: "I refuse to believe he could escape to the sky!"

"it is good!"

Fei Zhenrong gritted his teeth and nodded. The two of them transformed into two streaks of light and chased after the depths of the "Crossing Mountains".

Deep within the "Crossing Mountains," five powerful auras pierced the clouds like sharp swords.

The five Nascent Soul cultivators of the Shenxiao Dao Sect stationed here were either in seclusion or handling sect affairs when they were startled by the earth-shattering explosion hundreds of miles away.

"It's the aura of Vice Sect Leader Li!"

The leader, Elder Xuan Yang, sensed the familiar lightning fluctuations and array aura, and his expression changed drastically: "There are also people from the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' and the 'Xinghe Dao Sect'!"

"quick!"

Another elder, dressed in a crimson robe, cried out urgently, "The deputy sect leader may be in danger!"

Five streaks of light pierced through the mountains and forests, arriving at the battlefield ruins in just a few breaths.

Looking at the devastation and deep pits that stretched for miles, the five men felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Elder Xuan Yang made a hand seal with his fingertips, closed his eyes to sense for a moment, and then suddenly opened his eyes: "Over there!"

The five followed the scent and eventually found Li Yunjing in a secluded mountain stream.

Seeing that Li Yunjing was in good condition, the five of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Deputy head!"

The five people rushed forward to check on his injuries.

"Chu Xinghe! Fei Zhenrong! They're coming after us! We must engage them!"

This time, Li Yunjing suffered a great loss. All three top-level formations were destroyed, and now he has no formations left to use.

Without this kind of support, his combat power would drop by half if he wanted to engage the enemy.

Before the words were finished, two disheveled figures burst through the dense forest; they were Chu Xinghe and Fei Zhenrong, who had been chasing after them.

Both men were startled when they saw the five Nascent Soul cultivators from the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect," and then a fierce glint flashed in their eyes.

Since we've already thrown caution to the wind, let's just leave these five here too!
"Just in time!"

Elder Xuan Yang shielded Li Yunjing behind him, his spiritual power surging. "How dare you run wild in the heart of my 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'? Do you think we don't exist?"

Five Nascent Soul cultivators?

Chu Xinghe's pupils contracted slightly, then he sneered, "Perfect, let's wipe them all out today!"

Fei Zhenrong also sneered, "Old ghost Xuan Yang, it's been many years, but your cultivation hasn't improved much."

"Without further ado!"

Elder Liehuo, with the fiercest temper, was the first to strike, unleashing a roaring fire dragon that charged towards Fei Zhenrong. "You dare to injure my sect's vice sect leader? Today you will pay the price!"

Just as Fei Zhenrong was about to defend himself, he discovered that the fire dragon contained a trace of lightning power, which was the nemesis of his Xuanbing Sha.

He was forced back several steps in haste, and was secretly alarmed.

The old fiery ghost's strength has improved so much!

Elder Xuan Yang then faced off against Chu Xinghe. With a flick of his whisk, countless silver threads transformed into a sword net, forcing Chu Xinghe to unleash the "Star River Diagram" for defense.

Seeing this, the other three Nascent Soul cultivators immediately formed a formation, attacking from both sides, and for a time they trapped Chu and Fei in the center.

Chu Xinghe and Fei Zhenrong were already injured in the previous explosion, and now, facing five experts of the same level at their peak, they were immediately at a disadvantage.

Chu Xinghe's "Qiankun Copper Coin" was suppressed by Elder Xuanyang's sword net, and its light became increasingly dim.

Fei Zhenrong was countered by the combined forces of Elder Liehuo's fire dragon and another elder who was skilled in wood-type magic. His Ice Soul Pearl was interrupted repeatedly, and he was unable to cast Xuanbing Sha.

"Damn it!"

Chu Xinghe roared, and the "Star River Map" suddenly burst out with a burst of bright light, forcing Elder Xuanyang back. "Old ghost Fei, retreat!"

Fei Zhenrong was already exhausted, and nodded immediately upon hearing this.

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously detonated a protective magic item. Under the cover of the explosion, they transformed into two streaks of light and fled in a sorry state towards the outside of the mountain range.

"Should we chase or not?"

An elder asked.

"Forget it! They are all experts at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm!"

Elder Xuan Yang shook his head, looking at the two who had disappeared: "If they hadn't been injured, the five of us wouldn't have been a match for them. As for Chu Xinghe and Fei Zhenrong... we'll settle that score another day!"

At this point, the five men looked at Li Yunjing with deep respect.

At their peak, if Chu Xinghe and Fei Zhenrong joined forces, all five of them would surely die, yet Li Yunjing managed to injure them both.

How is this done?
Could it be that Li Yunjing has the combat power of the peak of the Nascent Soul realm?

This is simply unbelievable!
Little did they know that Li Yunjing's scheme against Chu Xinghe and Fei Zhenrong came at the cost of three top-tier array plates.

"Go back first!"

Li Yunjing shook his head without saying anything, but asked, "Are those new recruits alright?"

"It's alright! They've settled in!"

Another elder, Cui Mingtai, said.

The five escorted Li Yunjing, flying towards the "Shenxiao Daozong" branch altar deep in the mountains.

"Tianluo Dao Sect, Xinghe Dao Sect... I will remember this grudge."

On the way back, Li Yunjing made a decision in his heart.

Upon returning to the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect," he must go into seclusion to cultivate and raise his cultivation level to another level. Otherwise, if he encounters an expert of this caliber, he will truly be no match for them.

With the array plates gone and their own combat strength reduced, they might find it difficult to escape the next time they encounter such a situation.

Upon returning to the branch altar, Li Yunjing immediately went into seclusion.

He took some pills and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.

The spiritual energy within his body was like the lingering waves after a storm, intermittent and intermittent. Although the Xuanbing Sha on his left shoulder was suppressed by true essence, it was still like a bone-deep ailment, bringing a bone-chilling cold with each circulation of qi and blood.

It is almost impossible to fully recover in a short period of time.

While Li Yunjing was in seclusion, Chu Xinghe and Fei Zhenrong stood outside the branch temple, watching from afar with resentment in their hearts.
