A hundred lifetimes of cultivation, merely seeking immortality in the cultivation world.

Chapter 200 Encirclement and Kill of Dao Jue

This "Sacrifice to Life and Slaughter Scripture" truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier demonic cultivation technique. Even with Xiao Daojue's lackluster talent, it allowed him to surpass Zhang Tianlie.

Therefore, when the news of Zhang Tianlie's slaying of Cui Bao reached Xiao Daojue's ears, he became even more excited.

"The Zhang family of Danfeng, just hearing that name makes my heart tremble."

Xiao Daojue licked his lips.

"If I could sacrifice Zhang Tianlie's blood, I would probably be able to cultivate to the half-step Foundation Establishment stage even with my talent."

"However, the Zhang family is, after all, a Foundation Establishment family, far beyond what I can handle right now."

Xiao Daojue's gaze then turned to the direction of the Cui family, revealing a malicious smile.

That despicable Cui clan! Their eldest son, Cui Jue, discovered that Cui Jue was performing a blood sacrifice on members of the Cui clan after he arrived in Qiyang.

They then pursued him for a full ten days. If he hadn't been quick-witted and sacrificed his blood along the way to obtain a technique to change his aura, he would have been in serious trouble.

He kept changing positions, looking for an opportunity to recover from his injuries.

He might really lose his life at Cui Jue's hands.

Even now, despite his temporary escape, it has taken him a lot of time, preventing him from breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining. He is still stuck at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Xiao Daojue could no longer suppress the Cui family's malice.

He concealed himself and arrived outside a magnificent mansion, the place where Cui Jue's close friend and childhood friend, Cui Bo, resided.

Although Cui Bo's cultivation level was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, Cui Jue specially dispatched a team of cultivators at the fifth level of Qi Refining to protect his childhood friend because of Xiao Daojue's recent attack on the Cui family.

This was exactly what Xiao Daojue wanted.

At this moment, he was only a hair's breadth away from the seventh level of Qi Refining.

If he could sacrifice Cui Bo and the entire team of Qi Refining Level 5 cultivators, he could immediately break through to Qi Refining Level 7.

In turn, he killed Cui Jue, who had been pursuing him with the help of the Cui family's numerous spiritual energy.

Xiao Daojue held his breath and focused his mind. Although he was much more bloodthirsty than before, his caution had never changed.

Inside the courtyard, Cui Bo seemed to be creating a traditional Chinese ink painting, with a few crows fluttering in the open wilderness.

Strangely, the crows didn't seem to have eyes; their pupils were empty, lacking any vitality.

Xiao Daojue sneered inwardly.

Cui Bo is the eldest son of the fourth branch of the Cui family. He usually loves painting but not cultivation. His current cultivation level is only due to the pressure from the main branch, which forced him to practice a method that sacrifices his talent to accelerate his cultivation.

Of course, Cui Bao doesn't care about comparisons, since as long as it doesn't affect his painting, it doesn't matter.

It seemed that nothing around him, nothing about his family, mattered to him; the only thing he cared about was the painting in his hand.

Cui Bo had no other friends; his only friend was Cui Jue. Back then, all four branches of the Cui family perished in a secret realm, leaving only Cui Bo as an orphan. Therefore, the clan entrusted him to Cui Jue's family for upbringing.

Cui Jue's feelings for Cui Bo are very special; he feels like both an older brother and a younger brother.

Xiao Daojue devoured the memories of several members of the Cui family, making the comparison obvious.

The deeper the bond between Cui Jue and Cui Bo, the happier he is, because that way, when he kills Cui Bo, Cui Jue will surely be even more heartbroken.

Cui Bo looked solemn, completely absorbed in the painting before him.

A sharp glint flashed in Xiao Daojue's eyes.

Now is the perfect time to kill this fool while he's distracted!

Xiao Daojue drew his sword and slashed at Cui Bo's neck.

A smile appeared on his lips. If this sword were to strike, Cui Bo would surely die.

boom!

However, just as Xiao Daojue was about to rejoice...

Cui Bo, who was holding the paintbrush, also smiled and said loudly, "You've finally made your move! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Xiao Daojue's face stiffened.

That seemingly ordinary ink painting was actually a first-grade high-quality magic artifact. The eyes of the several eyeless crows that Cui Bo had just painted now showed streaks of scarlet bloodlust.

In an instant, it flew away from the painting and pecked at him!

"It hurts, it hurts so much!"

Xiao Daojue cried out in pain.

Although he immediately swung his knife to block, it seemed as if he was doing something futile.

This was because the blind crow was not pecking at his body, but rather at his spiritual fire.

"This painting is actually a magical artifact!"

Xiao Daojue couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Divine Soul artifacts are incredibly precious; the price of one divine soul artifact can far exceed that of ten other artifacts of the same grade.

If it were an ordinary magical artifact, he certainly wouldn't care about it.

However, this divine artifact struck his weak point directly.

Before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, or even before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, very few cultivators cultivate their divine soul.

Xiao Daojue was focused on blood sacrifice as soon as possible to quickly break through his cultivation level, so he naturally wouldn't bother with cultivating his soul.

Now, the disastrous consequences have finally come to light.

In an instant, Xiao Daojue felt a large piece of his soul being torn off, and his head throbbed with pain, a feeling of excruciating agony.

Cui Bai sneered, "You villain, you've finally fallen into my clutches. Brother, if we don't kill him now, when will we?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Cui Jue glared venomously at Xiao Daojue, his charred scalp standing out starkly.

"You foolish thief, how dare you kill members of my Cui family to fuel your demonic cultivation! And you even dared to stab my brother and wound my skin! I will tear you to pieces, extract your soul, and burn it alive in a sky lantern for a hundred years!"

"My son, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. Look at your ridiculous bald head. How does it feel to be burned by my demonic fire?"

Although Xiao Daojue was in pain all over, he endured the pain and burst into laughter at Cui Huan's charred bald head.

"I should have added fuel to the fire that day, burning off all your eyebrows too, so you could remember what it means to be born naked!"

It would have been better if Xiao Daojue hadn't said anything; the more he spoke, the angrier Cui Jue became.

On that day, he discovered that Xiao Daojue had killed members of his Cui clan on the border of the Cui clan, and rushed there immediately, just in time to witness Xiao Daojue's blood sacrifice.

Cui Jue, relying on his status as a disciple of Yunxia and his noble lineage, intended to toy with Xiao Daojue and let this rogue cultivator experience the cruelty of being alive.

Incidentally, this would also relieve him of the gloom caused by Lu Qingyun burning his beard and hair, which led to him being hunted down by Shen Changzhu.

However, as soon as Xiao Daojue saw him, he immediately took action, gathering a ball of pitch-black demonic fire to burn away the hair that had just grown back.

Even though more than ten days had passed, his hair showed no signs of growing back because of the strange nature of the demonic fire.

On the contrary, the charred black marks on his head were even more noticeable against the backdrop of his sparse hair on one side.

Now that Xiao Daojue has brought up the old matter again, how could Cui Jue possibly hold back?

He recalled the humiliation that Lu Qingyun and Xiao Daojue had brought him some time ago, and his anger flared up.

"You villain, prepare to die! Once I catch you, let's see how you still manage to spout your sharp tongue!"

"My son, keep dreaming! Your father won't play along!"

Just as Cui Jue was leading the Cui clan to surround and attack Xiao Daojue, Xiao Daojue smiled wickedly, and a ball of demonic fire instantly spewed out from his hand.

A towering curtain of fire rose up, instantly obscuring the sky.

The demonic fire scorched towards the Cui family members. They had all witnessed the fire's power—its ability to burn anything and its difficulty to recover from—and were terrified. They activated their magic spells and fled backward.

"Grab him! What are you doing running away from?!"

Cui Jue watched helplessly as Xiao Daojue was about to escape, his eyes filled with resentment.

However, all the Cui family cultivators acted as honestly as he did, scurrying backwards as if afraid of being caught by the demonic fire halfway through their escape.

We are not in a superior-subordinate relationship; we are all family members of the Cui family.

Why would they risk their lives just because of a single word from Cui Jue?

Don't you see how honest Cui Jue's own body is?

"My son, your father is taking his leave now!"

Xiao Daojue laughed mockingly.

Following the direction, Cui Jue, whose face was ashen, raised his middle finger.

half an hour.

Finally, an unlucky soul was burned by the demonic fire. However, the fire was completely different from Cui Jue's previous encounter. With just a little bit of magic power, the demonic fire stopped immediately.

See here.

Cui Jue was now fully aware that he had been tricked.

The demonic fire that Xiao Daojue released this time was clearly just a show; it would be easily punctured.

It's a pity that there wasn't a single man in the Cui family who dared not step forward and risk his life, allowing Xiao Daojue to escape.

"Brother..."

Cui Bo sighed and looked at Cui Jue, whose face was full of resentment.

Cui Jue didn't say a word, just glanced at everyone, then rode a celestial lotus flower and departed on a cloud.

Yunxia Sect.

Lu Qingyun toyed with the ancient wood heartwood in his hand.

The tea session with Zhao Qingxuan and Chen Xiru left him feeling completely exhausted.

The two women appeared to be getting along well, but in reality, they soon raised a question and started arguing.

Lu Qingyun had to go to great lengths to settle them down.

Lu Qingyun sighed, assuming that Zhao Qingxuan and Chen Xiru were simply incompatible by nature, and put the matter out of his mind.

Now that he has obtained the Ten Thousand Year Wood Core, the most important thing is to immediately improve his alchemy cultivation.

The requirements for breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining in the "Heavenly Profound Elixir Technique" are quite different from those of most other cultivation methods.

This cultivation method can be considered one of the earliest among all cultivation methods to involve supernatural powers.

Lu Qingyun learned from Zhao Rushou that the corresponding achievement level for this cultivation method is the [Dan Ding] achievement level.

Therefore, in the days to come, if one wants to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining, one must comprehend the first supernatural power of the [Dan Ding] level—[Refining Light].

"【Refined Light】is the essence of change and transformation, refining the form of things, and condensing the essence of elixir, thus achieving profound enlightenment."

After learning about this supernatural power, Lu Qingyun had been pondering how to cultivate it.

It is said that in the past, in the Tushita Palace, the children did not need to cultivate this supernatural power. They only needed to take a secret elixir made from the principles of heaven and earth, and they would naturally realize this supernatural power without any proof.

If possible, Lu Qingyun would naturally want to take that pill, or even swallow a golden pill, so that his fate would be in his own hands, not in the hands of heaven.

But he simply didn't have those conditions.

The Tushita Palace has long since vanished. Let alone becoming a servant in that palace, even obtaining a pill that embodies the principles of heaven and earth is now impossible.

Therefore, one can only personally experience the mysteries of this supernatural power.

As this supernatural power describes, the [Refined Light] contains the secrets of elixirs forming pills and the ability to transform and change.

Lu Qingyun's idea was simple: since he wanted to comprehend this principle, he might as well be direct and forcefully activate his magic power, using heaven and earth as a furnace and himself as a spiritual medicine, to accelerate the later stages of the Qi Refining Technique in the "Heavenly Profound Pill Technique" in advance, and forcefully comprehend this supernatural power in the intense collision between magic power and physical body.

Such a feasibility is naturally very high, after all, this technique was originally created to allow children to strengthen their physical bodies in order to assist real people in alchemy.

Just like the original method, one must first comprehend the principles of alchemy, and then rely on these principles to control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to refine the body, thereby enabling the children to have a body that can withstand the burning of spiritual fire.

But Lu Qingyun's plan was exactly the opposite. Since he had comprehended this supernatural power, he intended to use himself as the elixir to refine his body.

Therefore, in this process of body refinement, the fruit position will inevitably be affected at all times, and the principle of [Refining Light] will be applied.

The only thing to worry about is that the power of heaven and earth is too violent. If one is not careful and loses control, one may end up dead.

Lu Qingyun was not afraid of death; it was simply a matter of being reborn.

But to die in vain is far too unworthy.

In this life, he must at least attempt to establish his foundation.

Therefore, Lu Qingyun had his eye on the Great Jing Secret Realm early on, precisely because the ten-thousand-year-old wood core within it could secrete a wood-elemental magic liquid after being refined, which would protect his life if he made a mistake while practicing his cultivation.

Now that we have the ancient wood heartwood, it's time to give it a try.

Immediately, Lu Qingyun activated his magic power, summoned a magic seal, and began to refine the ten-thousand-year-old wooden core.

At first, Mu Xin struggled instinctively, but under the intimidation of Lu Qingyun's powerful soul, which was at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, Mu Xin immediately calmed down.

Lu Qingyun easily refined it, and several streams of bluish-green spiritual liquid immediately appeared in his heart.

Without a doubt, his life in this world now depends on these insignificant spiritual liquids.

Feeling the vibrant life force within the crystal-clear liquid, Lu Qingyun felt a sense of peace.

He immediately recited the incantation to activate the "Heavenly Mysterious Elixir Formula".

"Heaven and earth are the furnace, I am the copper, yin and yang are the charcoal, and creation is the craftsman..."

As Lu Qingyun spoke, all the surrounding magical power surged into his body.

Success or failure hinges on this!

Within his body, the Heavenly Profound Magic Power began to violently collide with his meridians, almost causing them to explode.

Lu Qingyun acted as if he hadn't heard, letting the violent magical power assault his meridians. Only at crucial points did he use his divine soul to guide the flow, enduring the pain caused by the rupture of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

He could feel that as his physical strength increased, the Heavenly Profound Magic Power within him gradually began to stabilize.

Lu Qingyun was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, just as the magical power broke through his lower dantian and rushed towards his upper dantian, it suddenly changed direction and pierced straight towards his heart!

"Oh no! There's something Zhang has done to this ancient wood!"

Lu Qingyun forcibly endured the pain in his body, watching helplessly as the magical power continuously broke through the shackles of his soul. In an instant, the magical power within his body was completely out of control.

Am I going to die here forever?

Lu Qingyun looked unwilling.

He never imagined that his life would end in such a ridiculous way.

Lu Qingyun's mind began to race, and suddenly, a glint of light flashed in his eyes: "That's right, I also have—the Green Wood Seal!"
