Starting with the consumables of the Demonic Sect, one can barely achieve immortality.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Bai was already cursing under his breath.

Damn it, is he trying to appear tough in front of these demonic cultivators?

What is Miaoyu's status in the Shen Gao Sect? And what is Bai's status in the Han Cheng Academy?

Miao Qing's death caused much discussion within the righteous sects.

It is said that Master Miaohe, Xu Zhenhe, cultivated the Dao of Forgetting Dust to the point of losing all human hearts, and even forgot about the grudge against his own junior sister.

Mr. Bai, however, was aware of the inside story.

As a disciple of the Divine Proclamation Sect whom the academy's leader had persuaded to accept, Wang Qing was not considered one of their own by the sect's cultivators.

She only has a good reputation among the younger generation, and is not worthy of a real person to avenge her.

Furthermore, that person committed the act of possessing another's body while dead, violating a major taboo of the righteous path.

At this point, the academy will not only not take action to avenge her, but it also no longer has the righteous cause to use to suppress the actions of the Divine Emperor.

However, Miaoyu is a true Taoist immortal cultivator with impeccable lineage, and is expected to achieve the Core Formation stage in the future. Her relationship with Miaohe is also much deeper.

Zhong Tianying really might not dare to kill her!

But Bai is different.

Not to mention that Hancheng Academy only has one mountain master who has reached the Dan realm, and its influence in the northern border is far inferior to that of the Shengao Sect, which is rumored to have a True Monarch.

Mr. Bai himself was nothing more than an old sage in the academy who had the qualifications but no hope of attaining immortality.

Countless people are eyeing his position!

He wasn't a close friend or relative of the mountain lord, so there was no way he would expect the mountain lord to come out of the mountain to avenge him after his death!

At most, they would just publish some articles in various countries to condemn it.

But if the Taiyin Demon Sect were to fear public opinion, then it wouldn't be the Taiyin Demon Sect!

The pride of a scholar and the instinct for survival clashed fiercely in his mind, causing this seasoned two-faced man to struggle intensely. After a long while, he finally said:

"The victor is king, the loser is villain. Fellow Daoist, if you wish to kill me, then kill me. There is no need to humiliate this old man."

These words sound fierce, but they are actually far less forceful than Miaoyu's.

If this happened on the other side of the strait, where everyone values ​​face, as long as the opponent doesn't have any deep-seated hatred for them, they could just laugh it off and consider it all over.

Unfortunately, he forgot that this place was not south of the strait, a place he had never been to in his life.

The influence of Confucian scholars in the northern foothills was far less than that in the Southern Dynasties.

All that could be heard was a cold snort from Li Tianning, whose face was pale, and a sneer:

"Who do you think you are? A useless old man cultivating cold qi, we'd be afraid of polluting the furnace if we used you to refine pills!"

"We will not kill you, but humiliate you. Otherwise, wouldn't all those times you called us demonic cultivators for nothing!"

Mr. Bai secretly groaned, thinking that it was clearly Miaoyu who was cursing the demonic cultivator, so what did it have to do with him, an old man?

These bullying demonic cultivators dared not actually kill Miaoyu, but instead vented their anger on him!

Zhong Tianying, however, said:

"Fourth Sister, don't be silly."

"This person cultivates the [Light Boat Goes] technique. If we don't kill him, where will you get the [Sea and Sky Jade] for your cultivation?"

"Since ancient times, the [Jinshui] path has drifted further and further away from the [Hanqi] path. You've just happened to encounter a Celestial Foundation that's compatible with yours. Are you willing to destroy his Celestial Foundation?"

Seeing Mr. Bai's ashen face, Li Tianning's lips curled up:

"Senior sister, you probably knew that Tong'er wouldn't make it and are just using this guy to appease me."

Zhong Tianying smiled and said:

"You're treating me like an outsider. Does that mean you'll just abandon this guy's immortal foundation fragments once Tong'er succeeds?"

After saying this, all the disciples burst into laughter.

No one glanced at Mr. Bai anymore, treating this dignified [Cold Qi] Foundation Establishment cultivator like meat on a chopping board, his life and death no longer of concern.

At this moment, the eyes of the five disciples were all focused on the golden-bodied monk holding the knife.

The monk Nanyun, who came from Lotus Temple, had his magic knife in his hand burned away by the front half by the Yin Fire. His golden body was covered with whip marks from coiled vines.

Among the three righteous cultivators who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he was the one with the most severe internal injuries, to the point that his immortal foundation was in danger. He was also the only one who was tightly bound by vines.

Buddhism is the least popular of the three religions. Many people in the orthodox path dislike Buddhism, believing that its concept of relying on the power of others for cultivation is close to the demonic path.

In the eyes of the "True Demonic Path" such as the Taiyin Immortal Sect, these stinking outsiders, the Buddhist monks, are here in the Northern Territory to steal their livelihood!

Nan Yun's cultivation path is quite ancient, following the ancient Buddhist path of casting veins and merging wheels.

At the time of Foundation Establishment, there was no protective object in his body, and he still looked relatively presentable in the eyes of the righteous path.

But to the demonic cultivators in the Hall of Longevity, what were you trying to do, a Buddhist cultivator, by putting on such a righteous act?

Isn't this building up the reputation of fellow Buddhist practitioners?

The more Buddhist practitioners who follow the righteous path there are, the more room there is for those who follow unorthodox paths to act.

Since the former had no intention of eliminating evil and upholding justice, they should exterminate the latter.

Then don't blame your adversaries for ignoring your ancient and modern interpretations, your righteous path and your evil path, and dealing with them all at once.

Just kidding, if they encounter someone like Jin Shi who's really trying to steal their jobs, the Immortal Sect members will be even more ruthless.

Zhong Tianying had no intention of giving this sorcerer a chance to invoke his backing. He pointed his finger like a knife and arrived in front of Nan Yun in the blink of an eye.

Everyone knows that the infighting within Lotus Temple is even more intense than that within Hancheng Academy.

The temple houses both ancient and modern Buddhist monks, some practicing ancient Western Shu practices, others ancient Northern border practices, some practicing Tantric Buddhism, and some even practicing incense-based deities.

The various factions had long been in complete chaos, with each of the golden statues establishing their own fiefdom, spending their days either discussing the Dao or the Dao of things.

Who cares about the life or death of an old monk who practices ancient methods?

Out of respect for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Zhong Tianying did not immediately make a move, but instead asked:

"Does fellow Daoist have any last words?"

Nanyun closed his eyes and remained silent for a long while before finally saying:

"There is an elder of mine in the sea of ​​fog, who I believe has long since passed away."

"Fellow Daoist, when you see her, please do not turn her into a corpse puppet. Just let her go in peace."

Zhong Tianying said:

"Fellow Daoist, since you cultivate the ancient way, do you still have thoughts of family?"

Nagumo said:

"All people are born of parents; without this body and blood, one could not even seek the Dao, let alone have thoughts of family!"

Immediately, someone in the Zhuzhen Biography revealed a cold smile.

But then Zhong Tianying said:

"If you succeed, junior sister, I will grant your wish."

As he spoke, a dark flame lit up at the edge of his palm, and he slashed out with the grace of flowing water.

Foundation building fails!

The Immortal Foundation [Mingwang Armor] shattered into countless platinum fragments, scattering them to the bottom of the misty sea, like a bright, dazzling rain.

Upon seeing this, Deng Tianliu secretly noted down the location where the fragments landed.

I only hope that when the Weiyue Palace and this sea of ​​mist disappear into the world, they won't take away the fragments on the ground along with it.

Judging by the time, Chen Xiang and his group should be expelled from the fog sea around the same time. It's unknown how much he will gain from this trip and be able to use it for his own benefit.

Zhong Tianying turned to Mr. Bai, who was dumbfounded and whose immortal cultivation demeanor had long since vanished, and the edge of his palm flashed with the light of a blade.

Seeing that the academy's foundation-building stage was about to lose all its dignity, he begged for mercy.

Suddenly, a beam of moonlight shone down from above, drawing the attention of all the cultivators!

In that instant, the heavy fog was dispersed by the heavenly disc machine, and all the cultivators finally saw the ancient and imposing stone palace hidden in the mist.

The full moon shone down on the stone palace, its pale white light enveloping the entire palace. Gazes first settled on the disc-shaped palace roof, then shifted to look up at the moon piercing through the clouds.

In an instant, multiple voices of the heart simultaneously arose in the lakes of the Foundation Establishment stage:

"What's going on? There's no record of this in ancient books..."

"Could it be... that someone in the palace has received a divine intervention regarding their fate?"

"How is this possible! When Master attained enlightenment by absorbing the essence of the moon, there was no such extraordinary phenomenon during the time he was forming his elixir!"

"This is not a strange phenomenon; it is the real moon in the sky... At least, only a cultivator who has truly cultivated the Yin energy and established their Dao foundation can attract the moon's attention!"

"Is that Tong'er? Did she successfully switch to the path of cultivation?"

Zhong Tianying, however, kept his back to the disciples and remained silent without uttering a word.

All the practitioners fell silent for a moment.

A seemingly absurd guess, yet upon closer examination, appeared to be quite plausible, suddenly surfaced in the minds of all the disciples:

"That young cultivator named Yan Cheng seems to also practice the Taiyin style..."

"It can't be that he attained enlightenment!"
