I loaded the innate divine power.

The malevolent aura of the desolate land obliterates the vital energy of heaven and earth. [Third watch, 1

"This is Beiman Mountain!"

Shen Yi disembarked from the treasure ship, stood on the ground, and gazed at the skull-shaped mountain.

A menacing aura emanates from the area!

These malevolent energies originate from underground.

It was as if an endless abyss of malevolent energy lay hidden underground.

The group landed and looked around; there was no one else there.

Wang Mingyang put away the Void Treasure Ship, and then took out a Purple Gold Compass. He poured his energy into it and watched the pointer on the Purple Gold Compass rotate and change.

"The Yin energy will reach its peak in two days. Luckily we arrived early; otherwise, we might have missed it."

Wang Mingyang murmured softly.

Although the voice was soft, everyone present could hear it clearly.

"Elder, the day the earth veins erupt is in two days?" A young core disciple asked Wang Mingyang.

Wang Mingyang put away the compass and nodded slightly: "Yes, the secret realm will open in two days."

"That's pretty fast!"

Shen Yi was surprised.

Normally, there would be about ten days left, but this time it started several days earlier, compressed into just two days.

If they had come by horse-drawn carriage, the daylilies would have been cold by now.

"Strange, why aren't the people from the other two major sects here?" Looking around and seeing no movement, a core disciple couldn't help but wonder.

"It might be soon, but wouldn't it be better if it didn't come? The Holy Sect can enjoy it all by itself," another core disciple said with a smile.

"Tch, knowing the nature of those two major sects, would they really abandon the secret realm?"

A young man in purple robes curled his lip in disapproval.

"Alright, let's set up camp first."

"Wait here for two days," Wang Mingyang said.

Everyone nodded and immediately chose a corner of open space to set up camp.

In less than half an hour, a simple campsite was set up.

As long as it provides shelter from the wind and rain, nothing else matters.

Under the cover of malevolent energy, the temperature on Beiman Mountain was much lower than the outside temperature. The sun had already risen, but the temperature was still very cold.

There was not a trace of warmth.

The group's cultivation levels were quite high, so they didn't care about such things. They lit a bonfire, and Shen Yi sat down in a corner of the camp. Just as he was about to take out the Hunyuan Pill to refine and cultivate, a sound of something breaking through the air suddenly came.

Amidst the vast white mist and sea of ​​clouds, a void treasure ship of the same size descended from the sky.

It fell from the sky and landed at the foot of Beiman Mountain.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the void treasure ship.

Shen Yi's gaze also fell on this void treasure ship.

The treasure ship landed, the passageway opened, and figures disembarked from the treasure ship.

There are men and women.

Each of them exuded an extraordinary aura.

The leader was a beautiful woman in purple, with a face as beautiful as a flower and a figure as alluring as the moon, and a powerful and unfathomable aura.

"This must be someone from the Divine Martial Sect."

Shen Yi glanced at it and confirmed the identity.

The Vajra Sect members are all bald monks, while the Divine Martial Sect members are dressed differently.

"Heh, these guys from the Biyang Demonic Sect arrived pretty quickly."

"The Demonic Sect, they always like to be the first to arrive, they're all a bunch of scoundrels."

A group of Shenwu Sect disciples looked at Shen Yi and the others, whispering among themselves.

The voices were soft, but that didn't diminish their extraordinary hearing.

Shen Yi frowned.

The more he looked at these self-proclaimed righteous guys, the more punchable they seemed.

Shen Yi looked at the others, each with a calm and composed expression, showing no emotion whatsoever, as if they had long been accustomed to this.

"The talents of the Holy Sect have mastered a set of composure!" Shen Yi sighed inwardly.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, golden light shone brightly from the clouds in the void, and another treasure ship appeared in everyone's sight.

The treasure ship descended from the sky and landed on an open space not far away.

One by one, monks dressed in their robes came down.

The leader was a middle-aged monk who held a golden nine-ringed staff, and his aura was in no way inferior to that of Wang Mingyang.

The three leaders were all True Qi Realm cultivators.

"Um?"

"That monk looks familiar."

Shen Yi looked at the group of Vajra Sect monks, and suddenly, his pupils contracted when he saw one of the monks wearing a moon-colored robe.

"Xuan Gang!"

A name quickly came to mind.

Last time, on the way from Zoroastrianism to the Holy Sect on the last day, we encountered the Vajra Sect's raiders.

"That bald monk actually showed up too!?"

Shen Yi was surprised.

Last time, he was beaten by Bai Suzhen so badly that he vomited blood and fled in a frenzy.

I never expected to run into him this time.

This fate is truly wonderful.

"This bald monk is very strong; I'm no match for him," Shen Yi thought to himself.

He had witnessed Xuan Gang's strength firsthand.

The internal energy is fully realized!

He even took a special elixir to forcibly elevate himself to the True Qi Realm.

Even if he cultivated to the level of Gang Jin, he would still be no match for this bald monk.

The gap is still very large.

The gap between martial artists with the Gang Jin skill is much greater than the gap between martial artists with the Dan Jin skill.

With his internal energy fully developed, his formidable strength surpasses that of even the core disciples of the Holy Sect.

The fact that she was able to withstand several moves from Bai Suzhen back then shows that her strength should not be underestimated.

It was nothing compared to Bai Suzhen's cultivation level, but for him, it was still an enemy he could not contend with.

"Um?"

"It's that little bastard from the Demonic Sect!?"

Among the Vajra Sect disciples, Xuan Gang's gaze suddenly fell on Shen Yi in the corner of the camp.

His eyes instantly turned cold.

Although he didn't know who this little devil from the demonic sect was, he still vividly remembered that scene.

Several elite members of the Vajra Sect have been lost!

"Wait a minute, how did this little beast get into the Mangshan Secret Realm?! He's not qualified!"

"This fluctuating aura indicates the completion of the Dan Jin stage!"

Xuan Gang pinched his fingers and used a secret technique to sense the aura, his pupils immediately contracting.

"The Core Formation is complete! How could this little beast have improved so quickly in just two months?!"

"Could this little beast be the son of some powerful figure in the Biyang Demonic Sect?!"

Xuan Gang looked horrified, and a thought popped into his head.

This is absolutely amazing.

Last time I only reached the peak of the Marrow Cleansing Realm. Even if I break through, it's impossible for me to reach the peak of the Core Formation Realm!

This must be the brat of a powerful figure in the Demonic Sect.

"Xuan Gang, what's wrong?" A voice came from beside him.

Xuan Gang came to his senses, looked at the figure in front of him, and cupped his hands: "Elder, I'm fine. I just encountered a little beast from the Demonic Sect. During the last operation, several disciples of our sect fell into the hands of this little beast."

"Oh?"

Following Xuan Gang's gaze, the Vajra Sect elder smiled and said, "It's just a mere Dan Jin, nothing to worry about. Our priority is to acquire it in the secret realm. Everything else can wait."

"It's the elder." Xuan Gang nodded, but his gaze turned to Shen Yi in the corner of the camp again.

"That bald monk recognized me!"

Shen Yi sensed the gaze and, from that cold look, he roughly guessed that Xuan Gang must have recognized him.

"When soldiers come, we'll meet them head-on; when water comes, we'll dam it. This is a collective operation, so if we're careful, we should be fine."

The thought flashed through Shen Yi's mind, but he didn't think about it anymore. He picked up a bottle of Hunyuan Pills and continued refining them!

No matter how much you plan, strength comes first.

Even if Xuan Gang has his eye on him, worrying is useless. If he accidentally encounters him, then it depends on his strength.

Even if he couldn't defeat this bald monk after breaking through to the Gang Jin realm, he could at least withstand one attack.

When we've gained enough strength, it won't be too late to kill this bald monk.

A campfire is burning.

The Vajra Sect and the Divine Martial Sect jointly built a larger camp.

The two groups chatted and laughed, creating a harmonious atmosphere. In contrast, the atmosphere on the Holy Sect's side was much quieter.

The disciples sat cross-legged, closing their eyes and pretending to sleep.

Time passed unnoticed, and Shen Yi had refined nine bottles of Hunyuan Pills.

He took out the last bottle of Hunyuan Pills and was about to swallow and refine them when he felt a gaze staring straight at him.

Zhuang Kun sat cross-legged to the side, looking at Shen Yi with a look of astonishment.

"Brother Shen, are you eating Hunyuan Pills like they're food?! Aren't you worried about the medicinal effects piling up and causing indigestion?"

Zhuang Kun couldn't hold back any longer.

Those who have seen pill refining have never witnessed Shen Yi's incredible skill before.

One bottle after another.

Refining pills is as fast as eating candy.

This stuff is medicine!

medicine!

What kind of virtuous person refines pills like you?!

Aren't you afraid that the medicine's effects will seep in and accumulate, causing erysipelas?

He's truly had his eyes opened today by refining and absorbing pills like this.

"It's alright, my physique makes it easier for me to absorb pills," Shen Yi said with a smile. As he spoke, he swallowed another Hunyuan Pill, closed his eyes, and continued to refine it.

Zhuang Kun: "—..."

Watching Shen Yi refine the pills, Zhuang Kun felt a pang of guilt.

He had seen people refine pills before, but he had never seen anyone as ruthless as Shen Yi before.

Even if he had broken through to the Gang Jin realm, he wouldn't dare to swallow the Hunyuan Pill like that!

Three-drug!

For ordinary people, it takes several days to slowly refine and fully absorb the essence before they can continue refining.

But for someone like Shen Yi, taking one pill after another, let alone refining them, just watching them was a bit overwhelming.

Damn it, even demons wouldn't dare to swallow pills like that.

This Shen Yi is truly a monster among monsters!

With so many pills, he seemed perfectly fine, looking relaxed.

Anyone else would have held on by now.

At the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), the starlight in the sky disappeared, and in the corner of the camp, only the crackling sound of the campfire could be heard.

It's very quiet.

The three major sects and two factions remained surprisingly stable.

"Buzz—!"

Surrounded by a surge of energy, Shen Yi slowly opened his eyes.

He exhaled a breath of stale air, and the energy around his body stabilized.

The forty bottles of Hunyuan Pills have been completely refined.

The black elixir in his dantian spun, and the demonic fire intensified by three points.

A powerful surge of energy circulated throughout his body, causing his aura to rise.

Shen Yi looked at the control panel.

Demonic Extreme Chaos Technique (Fourth Level): [75395/80000]

Killing Demon Blade Slash (Level 8): [4/128000]

"It's 75,000. There are about five more days until I break through."

Looking at the panel, Shen Yi's eyes shone brightly.

Gang Jin!

This is a brand new Dragon Gate!

Taking this step will transform his strength once again.

Even in a secret realm teeming with experts, his strength would still reach a mid-level.

In terms of physical strength, it can even surpass most martial artists with the Gang Jin skill.

"One more day—"

Shen Yi looked at the skull-like Beiman Mountain in the dark night.

demon!

If you're lucky, you can slay demons and grow stronger. You have to seize this opportunity.

The demonic essence absorbed by the second talent is far stronger than the essence of a martial artist.

"I don't know how much it's charged yet —"

With a thought, Shen Yi changed the panel, and the charging panel appeared in his eyes.

Name: Shen Yi!

Talents: [Ascension to Godhood] [Blood Sea and Styx]!

Energy level: 22.78%

"Only 22% —"

"To fully develop this skill, one would probably need to cultivate some stronger martial arts techniques."

Looking at the charging progress on the panel, Shen Yi sighed inwardly.

Twenty-two percent!

This growth was largely due to his breakthrough in True-level Extraordinary Techniques.

The remaining small portion represents the completion of superior martial arts.

"Some of the Holy Sect's powerful secret techniques, well, it's also necessary to learn them."

"However, the contribution points are insufficient, far from enough."

Shen Yi's thoughts raced.

Once he enters the Gang Jin realm, the resources he needs, and the powerful secret techniques he might need in the future, all add up to an astronomical sum.

For the Holy Ancestor, contribution points are paramount.

Without contributing points, there is no way to make progress.

The Holy Sect's resources are never free.

Even a powerful elder like Wang Mingyang from the Holy Sect had to accept bribes and favors.

Resources are very important!

Without resources, it's difficult to move forward.

The system established by the Holy Ancestor had to be followed by everyone, from top to bottom.

Most of the disciples of the Holy Sect are poor; the rich are a minority!

The Heaven and Earth Alliance was established solely to plunder more contribution points.

The system of open and aboveboard plundering under the Holy Patriarchal system was simply perfect.

"I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's take it slow. You can't get fat in one bite."

Exhaling, Shen Yi closed his eyes to rest.

time flies.

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

At noon, in the camp, Wang Mingyang suddenly stood up, took a step out of the camp, and the purple-gold compass in his hand trembled.

At the same time, the elders of the Divine Martial Sect and the elders leading the Vajra Sect also stepped out of the camp.

This scene instantly alerted everyone.

"They're here!"

Excitement appeared on Wang Mingyang's face.

"Everyone, get ready!"

He immediately transmitted his voice.

Everyone immediately became extremely alert.

All eyes were fixed on the skull-shaped Beiman Mountain.

"The malevolent energy is growing stronger!"

Shen Yi sensed the rising malevolent energy in the world, and this increase was exceptionally rapid.

The malevolent energy continued to grow stronger, and a chilling aura swept across the northern Mangshan Mountains.

At noon, the once bright sky suddenly darkened.

It was as if an invisible giant hand had covered up the sun in the sky.

The world darkened!

"Waaaaah!!!"

The wind howled fiercely, and the chilling wind blew as if ghosts and gods were roaring in one's ears.

The wind rises, the clouds surge!

The world changed color!

"Boom!!!"

In the dim sky, silvery-white lightning flashed like thunder snakes, accompanied by deafening thunder.

It carries the power of heaven and earth.

At this moment, in the face of the overwhelming power of heaven and earth, Shen Yi felt as insignificant as an ant.

When Heaven unleashes its power, all living beings are like ants!

Even those with profound martial arts skills become extremely insignificant in the face of the power of heaven and earth.

Sparks flew.

A scene of utter destruction, as if the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed, descended.

Beiman Mountain, that mountain that resembles a skull, seems to have come to life.

"That aura—"

Shen Yi was protected by demonic aura, and he was terrified.

Seeing the opening of the secret realm for the first time was truly breathtaking!

"Buzz!!!"

Just then, a visible black cloud shot into the sky from the North Mang Mountain.

Soaring straight into the sky, it completely covered the originally dark sky like ink.

In an instant, it got dark!
