Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 302 The Six Immortals of Shangdong Are Gone [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

"A treasure that can summon a pseudo-core cultivator and entice them must be quite valuable, so why is there no precious immortal material in this camel's storage bag?"

Ji Yuan took out the camel's storage bag and glanced at it; there were indeed quite a few items inside.

However, there was nothing that could excite a pseudo-core cultivator.

In fact, let alone a fake Core Formation cultivator, there is nothing that could tempt Ji Yuan, a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator. The most valuable thing he has is probably a mid-grade spiritual weapon, the Blood-Headed Scythe.

What does this tell us?

This shows that this bastard... wasn't telling the truth either!

"I suspect that the Void Soul Hermit still doesn't believe me. He must have other instructions regarding this camel. In that case, we can't delay any longer. Let's go check near Mount Luomei first to see if Changkun and the others are really there. If they're not... then we should head back to the alchemy workshop."

The outside world is indeed dangerous, and none of the demonic cultivators who came from Shangxi are easy to deal with.

Before meeting Ji Yuan, I thought I could do it.

Now it seems... that might not work.

The demonic path is still too cunning.

With this thought in mind, Ji Yuan put away the storage bag and also put away the Thousand Soul Banner behind him.

With the vengeful spirit of the llama and its corpse in hand, there's nothing more to wait for.

However, after only a short time, a flying boat had already soared into the sky and disappeared.

Ji Yuan is now at the peak of Foundation Establishment. Even if he were to activate the top-grade spiritual artifact, the Sky-Splitting Boat, it wouldn't consume much energy, and he would also have the strength to protect such a spiritual artifact.

Luo Mei Mountain was located to the southwest of this place. Ji Yuan did not take a detour. After about half a day, a large mountain range finally appeared in his field of vision.

He slowed the speed of his flying boat and enveloped it with his divine sense.

Soon, he sensed a large array shrouded in blood-red light in the valley right in the middle of Mount Luomei.

The elder brother, Konghun Sanren, was nowhere to be seen. The cultivator currently manipulating the formation was none other than the same colleagues who had been drinking and chatting with Ji Yuan just a few days ago.

...That fellow really did run away!

He seems to have some of Hu Li's style; he looks like someone who will live a long life.

With Konghun Sanren gone, Ji Yuan naturally dared not delay any longer. He was worried that Konghun Sanren had gone to recruit others, and if he recruited a demonic cultivator at the Core Formation stage, then they would all be doomed.

His divine sense enveloped the area around the formation, instantly revealing its condition.

The formation... should still be a second-tier formation, not yet a third-tier formation, but it is much more powerful than an ordinary second-tier formation.

Because this formation is divided into two parts, one part controls the weather changes inside the formation. In Ji Yuan's perception, the inside of this formation is currently a scene of bloodshed and carnage.

It was still a bloodbath in the physical sense.

Judging from the condition of Liu Yuan and the others, both the bloody wind and the bloody rain possessed extremely powerful offensive capabilities, so much so that they had to activate their protective spiritual artifacts to block them.

The other part of the formation... gave rise to a huge white bone avatar, which was invincible within the formation. Even though the Lingyue and Linglong sisters used the formation to resist, they were still defeated one after another.

Iron Tiger of the Spirit Control Sect, on the other hand, was manipulating his spirit beast, which roamed around them.

When he saw that Lingyue and her sister were in danger, he stepped in to rescue them.

If he gains the upper hand, he will unleash his full power.

The three of them were fighting against the skeletal dharma image, while the remaining two sword cultivators, Liu Yuan and Chang Kun, were trying to break the formation.

Chang Kun's defensive swordsmanship was so tight that it protected him and Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan then seized the opportunity to exert his full strength.

For those who are not good at breaking formations, the only way to break them is by force, but it doesn't seem to work well against the formation in front of them.

In Ji Yuan's perception, he could see that most of Liu Yuan's attack effects were absorbed by the formation and then used to pour into the formation to continue attacking them.

Only a very small portion of the attacks landed on the formation, destroying its array patterns.

With this attack effect, Ji Yuan felt that it would take at least ten days to half a month to break the formation.

As for Wei Chen, the female cultivator from Medicine King Valley... the reason why none of the people present have been injured yet is probably largely due to her.

Because five green threads were connected to her body, one end of the threads was on her body, and the other end was connected to the other five people.

These five threads... are like the threads of life.

Ji Yuan discovered that whenever Chang Kun and the others suffered even the slightest injury, an energy would surge from the green threads to heal them.

...Luckily, we said we'd find one more person, and we managed to call her over.

Otherwise, Ji Yuan felt that even if he found them today, there would probably be several dead or injured.

Now, Ji Yuan first used an invisibility spell to slightly conceal his figure, and then, hovering above the clouds, he slightly rose and had a thought.

Suddenly, a small bump appeared on his previously smooth forehead, followed by a crack in the center.

Then a purple eye squeezed out from it.

When it comes to breaking formations, there's no method faster than the Divine Eye of Illusion.

Just like now, in Ji Yuan's hazy vision, he immediately discovered five scattered red nodes on the formation... a flaw!

Almost instantly, Ji Yuan understood what was going on.

Liu Yuan's attack did have some effect, at least causing damage to several nodes of the formation.

What Ji Yuan is about to do... From his elevated position, five round, dark stone balls appeared in his hand. He held them in his hand, then made a hand seal with one hand, and a flash of icy blue light appeared on his body.

He, who was originally dressed in the robes of the Demonic Sect and had a rough face, instantly transformed into a handsome righteous cultivator wearing a blue robe.

As his Dharma boat descended and passed through the clouds, he flung out five Heavenly Thunderbolts.

Five bolts of tribulation lightning descended from the sky.

"Boom!"

Thunderbolts rolled down, instantly striking the five already damaged array nodes, causing the entire array to flash with streaks of lightning.

Within the formation, the terrifying bloodshed and carnage ceased.

The once arrogant white bone avatar froze in place, as if a gentle breeze had swept by, and the towering avatar instantly turned into specks of spiritual light and dissipated.

The few White Bone Sect cultivators who were still manipulating the formation sensed something and withdrew from the formation, scattering like birds and beasts.

Inside the formation, Liu Yuan, belatedly realizing what was happening, immediately reversed his longsword and unleashed a stunning sword light that split the already crumbling formation in two.

Several beams immediately flew out from it and finally stopped in front of Ji Yuan.

"Junior Brother Wuyou!"

Upon seeing Ji Yuan, Chang Kun excitedly shouted out.

"Um."

Ji Yuan glanced around at them and saw that none of them were injured, which was the best news.

"You son of a bitch, prepare to die!"

As soon as Tie Hu, who had the most fiery temper, came out, he thought about chasing down and killing the few demonic cultivators who had escaped.

Liu Yuan was also somewhat eager to try.

Ji Yuan quickly grabbed the two of them and warned them, "Don't pursue a desperate enemy! Something's fishy about this. We've already fallen into a trap. If we keep chasing, we might lose our lives."

"it is good."

Although Liu Yuan didn't know why, and was too lazy to think about it, one of his strengths was that he readily accepted good advice.

Especially regarding what Ji Yuan said.

Tie Hu was reckless, but he could also listen to human speech. He had already felt that something was wrong, and after Ji Yuanyi pointed it out, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Let's go, this place is not safe to stay any longer, let's go back to the alchemy workshop first!"

Captain Changkun made a decisive decision and said in a deep voice.

"Um."

Without further hesitation, Ji Yuan used the flying boat that split the sky beneath his feet to clear a path.

Just as he was about to head southwest, he seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up.

The direction from which the unusual activity came... was also southwest.

Besides him, several others were also awakened by this strange movement, and they all looked up towards the southwest.

Suddenly, a thick plume of smoke rose from an unknown distance, shooting straight into the sky. In a short while, it gathered into a large patch of dark clouds above the sky, creating a scene that seemed to blot out the sun.

Even so, the smoke signals continued to rise.

It was evening, and Ji Yuan could even see the flickering flames rising from beneath the smoke signals.

The entire western region was bathed in the crimson light of the fire.

Like blood.

"This seems to be the direction of the alchemy workshop!"

The Lingyue sisters realized what was happening, and for some reason, they flew to Ji Yuan's side, their eyes filled with a hint of worry as they spoke.

"What does this mean?"

Liu Yuan also looked at Ji Yuan.

...No, why are you all looking at me? You don't know, how could I possibly know?

Ji Yuan shook his head. "I don't know. Does Senior Brother Changkun know?"

"Beacon fires and smoke signals are sending a message; something terrible has likely happened within the Six Sects. We must return immediately!"

Before Chang Kun could finish speaking, he had already spurred the flying boat beneath his feet and headed straight for the alchemy workshop. Ji Yuan and the others followed closely behind, streaking across the sky like streaks of light, disappearing into the distance.

Since they were returning this time, they no longer concealed themselves and instead moved forward at full speed.

After most of the day had passed, they had already spotted the location of the alchemy workshop.

At this moment, a huge torch was erected above the alchemy workshop for some unknown reason. This torch was fueled by spirit stones, and the thick smoke it produced shot straight into the sky.

Upon seeing this, Ji Yuan thought to himself, "Just as I suspected."

His gaze inadvertently swept over Chang Kun in front of him. As expected of a cultivator from the Sword Ruins... he probably knew something else, but just didn't say it.

"Walk!"

Chang Kun glanced at it a few times, his face growing increasingly grim. Then, the group of seven swooped down and returned to the alchemy workshop like meteors falling to earth.

Since things had come to this, none of them went anywhere else, but went straight to the main hall of the alchemy workshop.

When they returned, they found the main hall was packed with people. Not only were the Golden Core cultivators there, but all the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the alchemy workshop had also come.

Upon seeing the return of their demon-hunting team, the Foundation Establishment cultivators who were originally in the main hall consciously made way for them, allowing them to proceed directly to the front of the hall.

Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't allow it.

But at this point... naturally, strength will speak for itself.

This time, Ji Yuan didn't hide anymore. Instead, he followed Chang Kun directly to the front of the main hall and finally stood behind Master Tianchu and Master Liexiao.

"My two senior uncles, what exactly has happened?"

After Ji Yuan bowed in greeting, he asked in a telepathic message.

"Don't ask anymore, Master Ice and Fire will tell you in a moment."

Ji Yuan saw that the Hunter Lord's face was extremely ugly, and thought that this matter... was probably very bad.

I just don't know the specifics of what happened.

"Yes."

Ji Yuan took a small step back and remained silent.

After waiting for about half an hour, when a Golden Core cultivator from Sword Ruins returned from outside the alchemy workshop, the Ice and Fire Elder, who had been sitting silently on the high platform, finally opened his eyes and stood up.

His gaze calmly swept over all the cultivators inside and outside the hall, then he slowly said:

"I have gathered you all here today to announce one thing."

Ji Yuan pricked up his ears, afraid of missing a single word.

"From this day forward, the Six Immortals Sect of Shangdong will cease to exist." The Ice and Fire Elder's voice rang out, devoid of any emotion.

"What?!"

"How is this possible?"

"The Six Immortals Sect is gone?"

"..."

In an instant, gasps of astonishment echoed throughout the hall.

Ji Yuan's mind was also gripped... The Six Immortals Sect is gone? The Water Dragon Sect is gone too?

That's impossible. If that were the case, Master would have come looking for me long ago. Besides, if Shang west really had the strength to wipe out the Six Immortals Sect in one fell swoop, why would he have waited until now?

Sure enough, just as Ji Yuan's doubts began to arise, he heard the Ice and Fire Elder speak again:

"The Six Immortals Sect has become the Four Immortals Sect."

"The Corpse-Driving Mountain has been destroyed. From now on, there will be no more Corpse-Driving Mountain in the world."

"The Spirit Control Sect has betrayed us! From this day forward, all cultivators of the Spirit Control Sect are members of the Shangxi Demon Sect! Guards, seize the Spirit Control Sect cultivators!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Hunter Owl Master in front of Ji Yuan made a ruthless move, capturing Tie Hu from the Demon Hunter team in one fell swoop.

Faced with this unexpected turn of events, Ji Yuan and Liu Yuan exchanged a glance, looking at each other blankly, unsure of what to say.

In Ji Yuan's view, it was indeed somewhat unpredictable.

Honestly, he would rather believe that the Corpse Driving Mountain would betray them than that the Spirit Control Sect would betray them.

After all, from any perspective, the cultivation method of this Corpse-Driving Mountain is more like that of demonic cultivators, and this is also true from the outside.

The cultivators of the Spirit Control Sect are all dressed in fine clothes, but what about the cultivators of Corpse Driving Mountain?

They deal with corpses all day long, and from the outside, they are almost indistinguishable from corpses themselves.

Yet, this very immortal sect was destroyed, while the once glorious Yuling Sect actually sided with Shang west's demonic path.

...In the end, all the myriad things in life seem to amount to nothing more than a grand dream.

It's both pathetic and laughable.

Ji Yuan shook his head and sighed.

"..."

at the same time.

In the far north of the Canglu Continent, above the endless wasteland, two dazzling lights were chasing each other, one after the other. The light in front was gray-black, while the light behind was snow-white.

"Brother Lu, we've been brothers for so many years, why are you running away?"

"How about you hand over your life to me?"

The Ten Spirit Ancestor's joyful voice echoed throughout the surrounding area.

"Pooh!"

"You shameless scoundrels, hypocrites! I must have been blind to call you brothers!" Lu Shi's voice, slightly weak, rang out.

"A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. Brother Lu, do you really not understand this principle? Given the current situation in the world, Shangdong really has no hope left."

Instead of feeling ashamed, the Ten Spirit Ancestor took this opportunity to persuade Lu Shi.

"Brother Lu, you know the situation of your Corpse-Driving Mountain better than I do. Back when Canglu was divided into East and West, your Corpse-Driving Mountain was originally a demonic sect. It wasn't until your master forcibly changed the hearts of everyone in the sect that it turned to the righteous path. Now, isn't this the perfect opportunity for your Corpse-Driving Mountain to bring glory to your sect?"

"And you also understand that if you were to truly return to the demonic path, with your secret techniques from Corpse-Driving Mountain, you would probably be truly in your element, wouldn't you?"

"At that time, not only will your strength as a corpse-driving expert be able to improve, but the entire Corpse-Driving Mountain will also be able to improve."

"When that time comes, if we join forces, we might have a chance to stand on equal footing with the White Bone Sect and the Demon Flame Palace!"

The Ten Spirit Ancestor patiently guided him.

Lu Shi listened silently the whole time, and only after the Ten Spirits Ancestor stopped speaking did he sneer, "It's not impossible for me to join forces with you and surrender to the Demonic Sect."

"Oh?"

The Ten Spirits Ancestor gradually slowed down, ceasing his relentless pressure, and instead said, "I knew Brother Lu was a smart man. Since you're smart, there's no reason why we can't discuss this. What do you think, Brother Lu?"

"It's negotiable."

"You said that as long as Brother Lu is willing to switch allegiance, I will talk to Blood King and the others no matter how difficult the conditions are."

The Ten Spirit Ancestor always appeared to be thinking of his old friend.

Lu Shi, unable to contain his rage any longer, burst into laughter: "It's not difficult. As long as you, you old dog Shi Ling, kneel before me with a bone in your mouth and call me 'Grandpa Lu Shi' ten times, I'll join the Demon Sect with you. How about it, my good grandson Shi Ling?"

"You old dog Lu, you're asking for it!"

The Ten Spirit Ancestor was furious.

Then, a red light, moving even faster, suddenly flew out from the white light in the sky. Inside the red light, there seemed to be a bird. After the bird appeared, it crashed straight into the corpse.

The corpse immediately descended several dozen feet, its speed also slowing down.

Just as they were about to be caught up by the Ten Spirit Ancestor, a vast sword light slashed down from the west. The sword light was so large that it seemed capable of cleaving down stars.

"scare--"

The Ten Spirit Ancestor was forced to stop by this sword light. He had no doubt that if he took another half step forward, the sword light would fall on him.

The two separated one after the other, and Lu Shi took the opportunity to leave the mainland and head to the North Sea, where endless gales blew, his figure disappearing in the swirling snow.

The Ten Spirit Ancestor stopped and looked westward.

"It's been a long time. I never expected that you, Master Yijian, would still be alive."

Although he spoke with great arrogance, the Ten Spirit Ancestor was already on high alert.

Because there aren't many people on the Canglu Continent who can kill him, but the Sword Master in front of him is one of them.

Only the flash of swords could be seen, but no one was in sight.

Just as the Ten Spirit Ancestor was contemplating whether he could escape, he heard another voice coming from the west. The voice laughed loudly:

"Brother Yijian, why don't we have a debate today and see who is truly the number one cultivator on the Cangluo Continent?"

"Of course, once the victor is decided, life and death will also be at stake!"
