Mortal Cultivation to Immortality: I Have 108,000 Techniques

Zhongwu and Hantianya have known each other for many years.

After exchanging ideas, they immediately decided to travel together!

The two figures quickly disappeared through the bronze gate.

Soon, three more cultivators arrived, dressed differently and belonging to different sects.

They looked around cautiously as they approached the bronze door.

There were a few hissing sounds.

A dozen or so sharp ice spikes suddenly shot out from behind the door!

All three were pierced through vital organs in their chests and abdomens by ice spikes, letting out a scream as they lay dying.

A handsome man with delicate features, red lips and white teeth, and an androgynous appearance slowly walked out, swaying his hips.

It was none other than Han Tianya, a disciple of Huadaowu, known as the "human-demon"!

"Hmph! You bunch of good-for-nothings, are you trying to sneak into the city center and fish in troubled waters?"

Han Tianya pinched his orchid-like fingers and pointed sharply.

He then picked up the three still-breathing men one by one from the ground and nailed them to the side of the bronze door.

He watched the three men scream and groan, then wiped his hands with a handkerchief before leaving, satisfied.

Another half day passed.

A patch of earthy yellow light emanated from the ground not far from the bronze gate.

Han Li emerged from underground.

"This place is really dangerous!"

Han Li wiped away a cold sweat, his expression shifting, and finally slowly approached the bronze door.

after all.

The three main ingredients of the Foundation Building Pill can only be found in the central area.

Han Li did not intend to compete with others for mature spiritual herbs; he only needed to pick some seedlings.

This can also minimize conflict.

The edge of the blood-red forbidden zone.

Zhang Yi suddenly opened his eyes.

He opened his palm, and the Yin-Yang Twin Dragon Seal was radiating dazzling golden light.

The two dragons broke free from the small seal and wandered around aimlessly.

"The time has come; my long wait has not been in vain!"

Zhang Yi's face lit up with joy, and without hesitation, he activated the magic technique, drawing upon the power of the entire ancient formation.

A dense array of violent wind blades converged.

Suddenly, a bright blue light shone forth.

Zhang Yi's figure blurred for a moment before disappearing into the blinding blue light.

The second level of the central area is a whole ring-shaped mountain range.

This mountain contains caves, cliffs, and many man-made structures such as stone houses and stone palaces.

The spiritual herbs that the elite disciples of various sects vie for grow in these very places.

In an underground swamp spanning several miles, filled with humid, hot steam.

More than ten disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect, all with joy on their faces, picked spiritual herbs from around the swamp.

At the edge of the swamp, lay a snow-white monster, five or six zhang long.

This demon resembles a giant python, with a single black horn on its head and a pair of sharp claws under its belly, just like the legendary dragon!

In their efforts to slay this demon, eight of their disciples perished!

The loss of spirit stones and talismans, as well as the damage to magical artifacts, is truly heartbreaking.

Two disciples even exhausted the power of their talismans during the battle.

Fortunately, there are dozens of medicinal herbs here, enough to make up for the loss!

The Grandmaster Nangong ignored the spiritual herbs and was playing with a small, crystal-clear bottle.

Inside the bottle was the spirit of a demonic beast, struggling and brandishing its claws.

"A level-two Ink Dragon essence, that's truly rare!"

Grandmaster Nangong was satisfied, beaming with joy. He carefully put away the small bottle and then collected the corpse of the black dragon as well.

Her gaze fell toward the center of the swamp.

There was a small white jade pavilion there, and inside the pavilion floated a huge golden treasure chest.

The box has a subtle golden sheen, making it clear at a glance that it is no ordinary item.

Master Nangong was about to fly forward and take the treasure chest.

suddenly.

A rumbling sound came from underground.

The entire cave containing the swamp began to shake violently.

The swamp's mud churned and spewed forth bursts of scalding hot water mist.

The only stone staircase leading to the outside world burst forth with five-colored rays of light, almost filling the entire passage.

"What happened?"

The disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect were shocked and panicked.

"Someone has triggered an ancient restriction! Forget about the elixirs, get out of here immediately!"

Master Nangong made a decisive move and shouted in a clear voice.

Although the disciples were reluctant to leave, they knew the importance of the matter and rushed back into the passage they had come from.

Grandmaster Nangong glanced at the small pavilion, then at the stone steps.

The five-colored rays of light were slowly closing in, and the passage was becoming increasingly narrow.

"There should be enough time!"

With that thought in mind, Grandmaster Nangong quickly made a hand seal, his body transforming into a white shadow as he rushed towards the pavilion.

It was at this moment.

A layer of dazzling five-colored light also appeared above the entire swamp.

A terrifying pressure suddenly descended!

As soon as Grandmaster Nangong flew to the edge of the pavilion, he felt an immense and unpredictable force crashing down upon him.

Her body trembled, and she collapsed heavily into the pavilion, spitting out a mouthful of blood as she hissed, "Minor Five Elements Sumeru Forbidden Technique?"

Despite her remarkable skills, she was utterly powerless against the might of the ancient formation.

Fortunately, the interior of the pavilion was not affected by the ban.

Master Nangong hurriedly swallowed a pill and practiced breathing exercises to calm his internal magical power.

She looked at the golden treasure chest, pressed her hand against the lid, and murmured, "If there's no treasure inside, it'll be a huge loss!"

however.

Before Master Nangong could even open the treasure chest.

A blue light appeared in the sky without warning.

A handsome and extraordinary young cultivator, holding a golden seal in his hand, landed before Grandmaster Nangong.

"Is it you?"

Master Nangong was greatly alarmed.

She couldn't understand it at all. Zhang Yi was clearly a Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet he didn't suppress his cultivation.

How could I possibly enter the forbidden area?

"Um?"

Upon seeing the girl in white, Zhang Yi immediately recalled meeting her once at the Hidden Moon Sect.

He looked down and saw the girl's delicate hand resting on the lid of the box.

"Let go of me!"

Zhang Yi kicked the girl's delicate hand away.

Once he obtains the token from the treasure chest, along with the incantation to control the grand formation and the Yin-Yang Twin Dragon Seal, he can enter the core of the forbidden area and receive the complete legacy of the Hermit of Fufeng!

Even if he and this woman had only met once, no matter how deep their relationship was, there was no room for him to back down!

With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Yi conjured the golden seal, and the treasure chest vanished.

He activated the incantation again, and the azure light shone brightly once more, teleporting him away.

"Oh no! Stop right now!" the girl in white exclaimed.

The blue light enveloped the entire pavilion, and after flashing several times, the pavilion and Zhang Yi disappeared without a trace.

The Lesser Five Elements Sumeru Restriction spell above the swamp also slowly dissipated.

When the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect entered the swamp and discovered that their master was nowhere to be found, chaos immediately ensued.

They were well aware of what a Core Formation stage cultivator meant to their sect.

If Master Nangong really meets with misfortune, none of them will have a good ending.

At best, their cultivation will be abolished and they will be expelled from the sect; at worst, their lives will be in danger.

At the heart of the forbidden area stands a tall tower nestled in a dense forest.

The experts from the seven major sects speculated that this tower was the residence of the owner of the forbidden area, and that he had long coveted the treasures inside.

However, between the second ring mountain range and the third dense forest, there is another ancient restriction in operation.

This restriction is not something a mere Qi Refining stage disciple can break!

Therefore, this pagoda has always remained a mystery.

But now.

Zhang Yi used the technique left by Master Fufeng to teleport directly inside through the great formation!

Inside a spacious hall that spans more than ten miles in circumference.

Clusters of colorful lights drifted around in mid-air, flickering like twinkling stars.

The white jade pavilion floated in mid-air in the center of the hall.

Zhang Yi looked at the white-clad girl at his feet, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

The grand formation actually teleported the entire white jade pavilion, including the woman!

"We can't let this woman leak the information!"

Zhang Yi's eyes flickered slightly.

"What do you want to do?"

The girl in white looked wary and spat out a crimson ring from her mouth.

The ring shone brightly and emitted a low hum, full of spirituality.

"A magical artifact! Nangong Wan!"

Zhang Yi had anticipated this, and slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Nangong, you probably don't want the other six sects to know that you infiltrated the forbidden area, do you?"

"You know me?" The girl in white was taken aback.

Zhang Yi did not answer, but said, "Others may not know the mystery of the 'Plain Maiden Reincarnation Technique,' but I know it very well."

Besides, Fellow Daoist Nangong's reputation has spread throughout the Yue Kingdom; who wouldn't know him?

Nangong Wan was even more horrified.

She no longer hoped to obtain any great treasure, but instead began to consider how to save her life.

Although she possessed the Vermilion Bird Ring, her natal magic weapon, she was unable to unleash its power due to insufficient cultivation.

Zhang Yi is not only at the Foundation Establishment stage, but he can also control ancient restrictions!

Zhang Yi was pondering how to make his move when his expression suddenly changed.

He took out the Yin-Yang Twin Dragon Seal, which was flashing with rapid golden light.

"A powerful aura is approaching; it's him!"

Zhang Yi used a hand seal to sense the situation and immediately understood the reason. "A gesture of respect!"

This is a Nascent Soul stage expert!

Moreover, he is undoubtedly the strongest person in the human realm!

The other few reclusive Nascent Soul stage old monsters are all a notch weaker than Xiang Zhili in terms of cultivation and strength!

Zhang Yi's expression shifted between light and dark.

He looked at Nangong Wan and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Nangong, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator is approaching. If we don't want to fall into his hands, we must cooperate."

"Nascent Soul stage?"

Nangong Wan was skeptical. "Are there really beings with such cultivation levels in the human realm?"

Zhang Yi flipped his hand and took out a golden token, then activated his magic incantation.

A beam of golden light shot out from the token, forming a light screen in front of the two people.

The image of an old man was reflected in the light screen.

Almost simultaneously with the formation of the light curtain.

The old man suddenly turned around, his eyes flashing with a sinister light, and shouted, "Who's spying on me?"

The voice boomed like thunder, shattering the light screen in an instant.

Nangong Wan had to believe it somewhat, and asked in a strained voice, "What does Fellow Daoist wish to do?"

"Simple."

Zhang Yi was confident and threw out the Yin-Yang Twin Dragon Seal. "Fellow Daoist Nangong, infuse your magic power to activate this treasure. I will then use a spell to assist you and send all the cultivators out of the forbidden area."

With the Twin Dragon Seal, the incantation, and the token working together, he was able to control the entire forbidden area.

This arrangement was mainly intended to deplete Nangong Wan's vital energy.

Nangong Wan had no suspicions and obediently accepted the golden seal, pouring her magical power into it.

After an incense stick has burned.

Nangong Wan's forehead was beaded with sweat. "Isn't that enough?"

Zhang Yi shook his head repeatedly, "This is an ancient formation, how can it be activated so easily?"

Another incense stick burned.

Nangong Wan was covered in fragrant sweat, her delicate body swaying as if she were about to collapse.

Zhang Yi urged, "Fellow Daoist, please hold on for a little longer."

Another incense stick later.

Nangong Wan's face was pale, and her breath was weak. "Fellow Daoist, there really isn't any left!"

Zhang Yi finally nodded. "That's enough."

He used incantations to activate the formation, which resonated with the Yin-Yang Twin Dragon Seals.

In an instant.

A violent hurricane swept through the central area, engulfing the entire forbidden zone in all directions!

The disciples of the seven sects, who were searching for spiritual herbs everywhere, were swept up by an immense force and thrown out of the forbidden area before they even understood what was happening.

Xiang Zhili stood somewhere in the ring-shaped mountain range, his gaze deep and unfathomable as he stared at the tower at its core.

He felt the repulsive force of the great formation, raised his hand to form a hand seal, about to do something, but then stopped.

"The spatial power is very weak; it's only used for teleportation within the forbidden area. I doubt there's a reverse spirit passage."

Xiang Zhili dispersed his magic spell, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "As expected of the work of an ancient master, even if I were to expend my essence, I might not be able to break this formation."

Let's save our energy and live a few more years.

The next moment, he was teleported outside the forbidden area.

The hurricane did not stop there; on the contrary, it showed a tendency to intensify.

The forbidden area formation activated simultaneously, and its power was concentrated near the lair of the powerful demonic beast!

"This is……?"

Zhang Yin was able to accurately perceive the changes in the formation, and was greatly surprised upon discovering this.

But he soon discovered that this was the result of the formation operating on its own.

That is to say...

After each trial ends and the disciples of the seven sects are teleported away, a storm sweeps across the entire forbidden area!

The Crimson Forbidden Land has existed for tens of thousands of years.

Logically speaking, given the rich spiritual energy within the forbidden area, there should be quite a few high-level demonic beasts.

However, in all the Blood Forbidden Trials, the disciples of the Seven Sects have almost never seen a demon beast of level two or above.

That level-two ink dragon only shed its skin and advanced to the next level after suffering severe injuries.

After considering the situation of the formation and thinking for a moment, Zhang Yi suddenly understood.

"All the level two and above demonic beasts have been wiped out by the great formation!"
