A daily divination, from family tortoise shells to immortal clans.

The latest chapter of "《" has been updated, come and catch up!

The Eight Thunder Palace Bell is a powerful weapon targeting divine sense. Since obtaining it, Chen Qingmo has hardly used it.

He didn't expect the Eight Thunder Palace Bell's attack to directly shatter Manliu's divine sense. After all, the barbarians who cultivated using the body tempering method, even without cultivating divine sense techniques, still possessed a willpower stronger than most ordinary cultivators due to the tempering of demonic beasts and fierce souls.

What Chen Qingmo was looking for was an opportunity to break through the defenses of Manliu.

Man Liu continued to pound with his fists, causing the Luo Yu Ding to vibrate continuously. He looked surprised, not expecting the black cauldron to be so hard.

Even with the power of the totem activated, the Luo Yu Ding was only shaken, but showed no signs of breaking.

This was the first time Manliu had encountered such a situation, and it directly aroused his fighting spirit.

Unseen by him, Chen Qingmo had already finished casting the spell, and the Eight Thunder Palace Bell was slowly rotating, waiting for him to fully activate it.

After an incense stick's time, Man Liu, who had been attacking relentlessly, had exhausted a lot of his strength. Seeing that Chen Qingmo was holed up inside the Luo Yu Cauldron and wouldn't come out, his expression changed slightly, and he stopped to prepare to recuperate.

Just then, Chen Qingmo seized the opportunity, putting away the Luo Yu Cauldron while activating the Eight Thunder Palace Bell.

The giant bell, about three zhang tall, made a loud noise as soon as it appeared.

For a moment, many barbarian cultivators in the vicinity were stunned by the sound of the bell and fell into a daze.

Under Chen Qingmo's control, the Eight Thunder Palace Bell had virtually no effect on human cultivators.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, human cultivators used various methods to kill many barbarians.

Chen Qingmo then activated the fourth move of the Green Mountain Sword Technique, slashing at Man Liu with his sword. Although this move was at the Golden Core level, his cultivation was insufficient, and he could barely unleash 20-30% of its power.

However, the enemy was also at the Foundation Establishment stage, so after the sword light flashed, a sword wound appeared on Man Liu's body, and blood gushed out.

Chen Qingmo wanted to take the opportunity to inflict more injuries on the other party, but only a few breaths later, Man Liu forcibly withstood the spiritual attack of the Eight Thunder Palace Bell and threw a punch.

Chen Qingmo was unable to dodge in time and barely managed to use the Five Elements Mystic Light to slow down Man Liu's attack.

There are differences even among those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Man Liu is much stronger than the cultivators of the same level that Chen Qingmo used to deal with.

In particular, the opponent's physical body is strong enough to withstand most attacks.

After blocking Man Liu's attack, Chen Qingmo looked at his opponent calmly.

He was uninjured, but the continuous use of various methods had depleted his magical power.

In particular, the fourth move of the sword technique, "All That Is Gone," consumed nearly 30% of his mana in a single strike.

Chen Qingmo swallowed a pill, and behind him floated three top-grade magic artifacts: the Eight Thunder Palace Bell, the Luo Yu Cauldron, and the White Flame Talisman. Together with his natal immortal sword, he looked extremely wealthy.

So much so that Wei Yan and the others, who were not far away, caught a glimpse of it and their eyes revealed expressions of envy.

Some of them even used top-tier magical artifacts, which seemed rather shabby compared to Chen Qingmo's.

Then, something even more shocking happened.

Chen Qingmo simply wiped his hand across the storage bag, and a humanoid puppet appeared on the battlefield.

Hundreds of spirit stones were thrown in, and an aura no less powerful than that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator emanated from the puppet.

"This... these methods are a bit too many!" Li Mang, who came to help, was speechless upon seeing this scene.

An ordinary cultivator is considered good if he has one skill he is proficient in, but Chen Qingmo has shown far too many methods at this moment.

The array formations, talismans, puppets, along with those top-grade magical artifacts and impressive cultivation levels, were truly terrifying.

Iron Sword Master and Chen Weisheng, along with other members of the Chen clan, remained remarkably calm, having long been accustomed to such situations.

The appearance of a Foundation Establishment Perfection Puppet means that a two-on-one situation has been formed, and the puppet has no pain, making it capable of fighting Manliu hand-to-hand.

Chen Qingmo could then freely use his various methods to ambush and kill Man Liu from the sidelines.

"Damn it!" Manliu looked around, trying to find a member of his tribe who could help him.

But they found that no one could spare the time.

Especially Chen Weisheng, who fought against four barbarian cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, holding his own against them and appearing to be in complete control.

Even some of the barbarian cultivators were injured, while Chen Weisheng was completely unharmed.

"When did such a powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator appear among the human race? And in this small border town? Didn't the Yuanjian Sect send them to Annan Prefecture?" Manliu wondered.

Chen Weisheng is indeed at the Pseudo-Core stage, but he has not yet broken through to the Golden Core stage and is still within the Foundation Establishment stage.

Logically speaking, two people at the Foundation Establishment Perfection stage should be enough to hold off a fake Core Formation cultivator.

However, Chen Weisheng's situation was truly beyond the expectations of the barbarians.

However, it's no wonder they were ignorant. After being affected by the Deadly Gu, Chen Weisheng disappeared for many years. When he returned, he even left the Yuanjian Sect and returned to the Chen family.

Aside from the few times he made public appearances, human cultivators knew very little about him, let alone the barbarians.

This kind of intelligence is very difficult to obtain.

The four Golden Core cultivators fighting above had a clear view of the battlefield, and the two Golden Core cultivators from the barbarian tribe were filled with astonishment and doubt.

They had long heard of a powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator in Linyuan County, which is why they transferred Manliu from the Annan Prefecture army to Dongze County.

Manliu is an outstanding figure among the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the barbarian tribe. Apart from a few monstrous geniuses of the barbarian tribe, he has almost no rivals.

Even so, he was at a disadvantage against Chen Qingmo.

"That human kid has some tricks up his sleeve. Why don't we find an opportunity to kill him?" Man Yu continued his exchange with Zhou Tinglong, but secretly he had already sent a telepathic message to Zhan Jun.

For these Golden Core cultivators to determine a winner, they must resort to their most trump card.

This is just the beginning; there's no need to hit so hard.

However, the situation on the battlefield below surprised them. The barbarian soldiers were affected by one person, resulting in many casualties.

Even Manliu, the most powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator among the barbarians, was seriously injured, and his bloody wounds looked rather horrific.

"Manyu, are you confident you can keep your eyes off Zhou Tinglong this week?" Zhan Jun asked with a serious expression.

Although the sparrow's attack power was inferior to his, its speed was much faster.

Several times Zhan Jun tried to escape Sang Que and Man Yu's attack on Zhou Tinglong, but he was always caught up by them.

"His swordsmanship is too troublesome. It can slow me down, so I can't find an opportunity to go down and kill that human brat. Now it's even a bit difficult to communicate with you telepathically." Man Yu was facing Zhou Tinglong. Although he was not injured, the feeling of not being able to hit his opponent made him very uncomfortable.

"In my opinion, we should retreat for now, wait for Manliu to recover, and then give him the treasure bestowed upon him by the Barbarian King before fighting these humans again," Zhan Jun said slowly after a moment of contemplation.

"Can he handle it?" Manyu was somewhat shocked.

"Manliu is, after all, one of the top Foundation Establishment cultivators of my barbarian race. He can definitely withstand it," Zhan Jun said firmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Manliu below received the message to retreat.

"Lord Zhanjun..." Manliu looked up, somewhat unwilling.

But on the battlefield, military orders cannot be disobeyed, so he immediately shouted to his people, "Our lord has ordered a retreat!"

With the order issued, the barbarian army fought and retreated.

The human cultivators tried their best to inflict more damage on them, but their efforts were completely blocked by the combined resistance of the barbarians.

Seeing this, Zhou Tinglong and Sang Que quickly landed below and blocked the group that wanted to pursue them.

"Elder Zhou, why didn't you give chase?" Someone looked at the fleeing barbarian cultivators and asked Zhou Tinglong in confusion.

"Neither of the two Golden Core cultivators on the other side were injured. Retreating now is to prevent greater casualties."

"Don't pursue a desperate enemy. If they've set up an ambush in the rear, we'll be the ones who die," Zhou Tinglong calmly analyzed.

In the previous battle, he could clearly sense that the two Golden Core cultivators of the barbarian tribe were holding back.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Afterwards, Zhou Tinglong arranged for Wei Yan and Chen Weilan to stay at the checkpoint to keep an eye on the barbarians' movements, and then led the others back to the camp.

"This time, Chen Qingmo performed meritorious service in defending against the enemy, killing a barbarian in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and using the Eight Thunder Palace Bell to assist others in killing many barbarians. He is hereby commended for this merit."

"Wei Yan and Sun Wentu have killed several Qi Refining cultivators from the barbarian tribe. This is a meritorious deed."

"..."

Zhou Tinglong named each of the meritorious individuals and recorded their names in a register.

His battle with the barbarian Golden Core cultivator wasn't at the point of life-or-death, and he kept a close eye on the situation on the battlefield below.

He was satisfied with this first encounter.

On the human side, only a few Qi Refining cultivators suffered minor injuries, making it a resounding initial victory.

"Thank you, Elder Zhou!" Everyone bowed and greeted him in unison.

Zhou Tinglong waved his hand and continued, "The barbarians have temporarily retreated this time, but they will likely launch a stronger offensive next time. I will send a message to the sect later to request some resources for you."

"I hope you will not be careless and must be cautious in dealing with the barbarians. Do not be arrogant or complacent."

Zhou Tinglong's voice was serious. Although this temporary victory was something to be happy about, it was ultimately nothing.

Most Qi-cultivating barbarians are fearless and will fight their enemies like madmen when it comes to life-or-death battles.

Zhou Tinglong didn't want to see a large number of casualties on his side, which is why he spoke out to warn them.

"We will obey Elder Zhou's orders!" Upon hearing this, the cultivators in the tent, especially the leaders of the various Qi Refining families, responded respectfully at first, and then beamed with joy.

Obtaining resources from the Yuanjian Sect during a major war is an extremely rare occurrence for most Qi Refining families.

Generally, after the war ends and the sect has tallied the casualties, they will provide the corresponding resource compensation.

In an instant, their awe and respect for Zhou Tinglong grew even stronger.

"Alright, you can all go back now." After saying that, Zhou Tinglong transmitted his voice to Chen Qingmo: "Fellow Daoist Chen, please stay for a moment."

After everyone had left, Chen Qingmo said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, why have you kept me here?"

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you have displayed many skills today, which will most likely attract the attention of the two Golden Core cultivators from the barbarian tribe. However, with Sang Que and me here, they will be unable to focus on you."

"What I'm worried about is that they'll have that barbarian will kill you."

Zhou Tinglong's expression was solemn, showing some concern for Chen Qingmo's safety.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you must have seen my battle today. Why do you say that?" Chen Qingmo did not think that Zhou Tinglong looked down on his strength.

Even though Man Liu was being suppressed by him, Zhou Tinglong still said that, so there must be something he didn't know.

"I learned about this from the sect leader before I came. Outstanding Foundation Establishment cultivators of the barbarian race are given something called an Ancestral Spirit Bone Fragment."

"Possessing this item can strengthen the totem phantom behind them, increasing their strength by 20% to 30%."

"Manliu did not use this item when he fought you, but from my observation, he is very strong and should be an outstanding genius among the barbarians. He is very likely to possess a fragment of the Ancestral Spirit Bone. If you are not prepared, you will most likely be defeated by him."

Zhou Tinglong revealed some of the information he knew.

After listening, Chen Qingmo nodded solemnly.

This news was extremely important to him, after all, his strength was almost equal to that of Manliu.

It was through a variety of methods that he was able to suppress his opponent.

His own battle puppet was equivalent to a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak, but the other party might come up with a corresponding method after returning this time.

The puppets will be useless then; it will still be Chen Qingmo and Man Liu who fight.

Having obtained the information about the ancestral spirit bone fragment, he could make some preparations in advance to avoid being tricked by the other party when the time came.

"Thank you for telling me, Fellow Daoist Zhou." Chen Qingmo cupped his hands in greeting.

"You and Wei Sheng are the two strongest Foundation Establishment cultivators on this battlefield. Your safety is also related to the situation on the battlefield. I am saying this for the sake of the sect," Zhou Tinglong said calmly.

"Now that you know about this, you may go back."

After saying this, Chen Qingmo bid farewell to Zhou Tinglong and returned to his own tent.

"An ancestral spirit bone fragment? If we can retrieve this item, I wonder if Wei Lan can use it?" Chen Qingmo sat at the table, deep in thought.

He kept Zhou Tinglong's words in mind, but he still wasn't very afraid of Man Liu.

He also possesses the Gengjin Exorcising Array, an eighth-grade array that, once activated, leaves no barbarian survivors on the entire battlefield.

But he still didn't want to use such a thing unless absolutely necessary.

Firstly, he would be unable to control the array plate, and the cultivators on the human side would also be affected.

Secondly, the use of an eighth-grade array plate would definitely be detected, and how would he answer if the Yuanjian Sect questioned him afterward?

A chance acquisition?

Who would believe such a thing?

Furthermore, the use of mid-grade spirit stones to activate the eighth-grade array plate is also inexplicable.

With this thought in mind, Chen Qingmo felt a headache coming on again.

For the past two days, the hexagrams updated at midnight have remained flat, and there has been no movement in the sixty-four hexagrams, so he has been unable to glean any useful information from them.

The only thing that pleased him was that the faint water ripples on the tortoise shell after absorbing the Xuanming Gui water finally disappeared.

This also means that he can allow the tortoise shell to continue refining the Xuanming Gui Water.

The improvement of the tortoise shell is the most important!

The barbarians chose to rest and recuperate, and he was not assigned any tasks. He said something to Chen Weisheng and immediately entered a state of seclusion.

half a month later.

Chen Qingmo stared at the dark tortoise shell in his sea of ​​consciousness, which had refined five drops of Xuanming Gui Water, and his mind stirred slightly.

A wisp of dark energy hovered silently in front of the tortoise shell, its aura heavy and containing immense power.

【Gui Water Essence】

The four small characters below the tortoise shell indicate the name of the airflow.

With a thought, Chen Qingmo tried to draw upon the essence of Gui water.

The next instant, the black energy responded to his thoughts and directly merged into his body.

A cool and comfortable feeling spread throughout Chen Qingmo's body. He felt as if he had been cleansed, and a feeling of refreshment welled up from his heart.
