In the cave.
Dark, silent.
Yuye sat with his eyes closed.
He was surrounded by rich energy, and a green dragon shadow appeared and disappeared. When the spirit stone in his hand shattered, he grabbed two more spirit stones and pressed them into his palms.
The spiritual consciousness is visible, and the flowing spiritual energy pours into the meridians and internal organs, and then flows from the sea of consciousness and the golden palace to the sea of qi, and finally gathers into a vortex. In the vortex, a round bead is slowly rotating, and then the world is echoing inside and outside, and water and milk are blended and integrated into one.
That bead was the dragon pill that led him to the path of immortality. It also caused him to suffer from the poison of dragon. Even after being trapped in Kongtong, the poison still broke out several times. Fortunately, the intervals between attacks became longer and longer, and there had been no news for seven or eight years. Now the jade pill has changed from jade white to yellow, but it has lost its vitality. It's like the gestated life has not yet awakened, and is in urgent need of his constant careful care, calling with heart, and waiting patiently.
"Snapped--"
Two more spiritual stones shattered.
Yu Ye's eyebrows twitched and he looked a little disappointed. After a while, the surrounding Qi returned to the body. He opened his eyes, took out a long breath, threw away the fragments of spiritual stones in his hands, and shook his head helplessly.
Three years ago, I finally reached the perfect state of building the ninth level of foundation. I asked Jiao Ying for advice on the method of forming pills, and then I started to try to form pills. Who wants to stay in seclusion for two years? They are already close to reaching the threshold of the golden elixir, but they are unable to cross the last step.
Why is this?
Is it a lack of realm understanding, or a lack of elixirs and spiritual stones?
He did not have the elixir to form elixirs, and the remaining spiritual stones were not enough to support continued seclusion. The desire to become a Jindan monk suddenly became slim.
"Jiao Ying——"
"here I am!"
"You are an expert, give me advice and guidance!"
"I'm confused too!"
"You have recovered 90% of your soul power, and you are a golden elixir cultivator. You must be in an extraordinary state. How can you not know everything about it?"
Yu Ye was a little impatient.
"To achieve the golden elixir, one must have the foundation, cultivation, realm, and luck. And since the elixir in your body is natural, it shouldn't be difficult to form the elixir. Maybe..."
Jiao Ying hesitated and said: "Maybe the opportunity has not come yet, or maybe it's because of the skill?"
"Kung Fu?"
Yu Ye was stunned and confused.
"Well...your "Tiangang Sutra" comes from the Immortal Sect, and your "Seven Killing Sword Art" comes from the Demonic Sect, or the techniques are mutually exclusive, so the elixir formation is different..."
Jiaoying's words revealed a guilty conscience.
"Magic Cultivation Technique? You..."
"The Immortals and Demons are just a family with different names. And you have been practicing the Seven Kills Sword Qi so far. Is there anything wrong with it?"
"You shouldn't hide it!"
"Hehe, it was just an expedient measure at the beginning. Who would have thought that you would be able to get to where you are today. Even though it's a mistake, it's not just a coincidence!"
Yu Ye seemed to suddenly realize it, but remained silent.
Jiao Ying's implication was that when he first taught him the "Tiangang Sutra" and "Seven Killing Sword Techniques", it was just to save his life, and he never cared about the immortal and demonic techniques. As for whether he can survive and how far he can go in the future, it all depends on his luck.
But this woman only forced the technique into his sea of consciousness, and then left it alone. Fortunately, he had a great destiny.
However, after decades of practice, apart from the unbearable attacks of the poison, there is nothing wrong with anything else!
So is he considered a member of the Immortal Sect or the Demonic Sect? And Jiao Dan is related to demon cultivators, and he has studied the techniques of ghost cultivators...
Yu Ye shook his head.
He himself entered the path of immortality by mistake, with no sect or master, so why should he care about the origin of the technique!
It seems that the first month of the year is approaching again.
There is no point in continuing to hide in the Kongtong realm. Perhaps, Zhan Kun's proposal can be regarded as a way out of trouble.
Yu Ye thought of this and looked at the beast control ring on his right hand.
In the ring, the two giant beasts were still sleeping soundly. The scales all over its body have a light yellow luster, and the two pairs of wings on its back are the same size and close together.
Many years ago, two monsters once forced Zhan Kun away, but it was just a bluff because the other pair of wings had not grown. And today, the demon salamander has finally transformed into a four-winged golden salamander. If he faces Zhan Kun again, can he win?
And that guy's cultivation level is also improving, making him more difficult to deal with than before.
Yu Ye stretched his sleeves and stood up slowly.
There was a layer of spiritual stone debris scattered on the ground, like white gravel.
Thousands of spiritual stones have been consumed over the years, and they can only be replenished by looting. And he is not a man who kills indiscriminately, he just doesn't want to become prey.
Yu Ye's figure flashed and fled away...
…
Yuxian Peak.
On the hillside where the lonely peak is located, someone got there first.
Zhan Kun.
He still looks like the Qi Refining disciple back then, but his messy beard has become much neater, and his deep eyes have an elusive look.
At this moment, a ray of light suddenly flashed more than ten feet away, and then a familiar figure appeared.
Zhan Kun's eyes lit up, he stood up quickly and said: "Stay, stay!"
Yu Ye flicked his sleeves, raised his hands and stood tall.
"hehe!"
Zhan Kun showed an honest smile and said: "I have been waiting hard for ten years. Have you changed your mind?"
Yu Ye didn't comment, just silently paying attention to the movements around him.
ten years.
Ten years have passed since he summoned two golden salamanders to force Zhan Kun back. And the days of being trapped in Kongtong Realm may have reached the forty-fourth year?
In the blink of an eye, he was seventy-eight years old.
Zhan Kun seemed to be afraid that he would escape again, and hurriedly persuaded him: "In the past ten years, I have no longer been your enemy. You should also trust me once and join hands with me to fight out of Kongtong Realm."
As mentioned, Zhan Kun took the initiative to sue for peace ten years ago and proposed to join forces with him to escape from Kongtong territory. He ignored it at the time, firstly because he was afraid of being deceived, secondly because the four wings of the golden salamander had not yet grown, and thirdly because he wanted to form an elixir. But now that times have changed, we should take stock of the situation and make adjustments.
"How to act?"
Yu Ye suddenly asked a question.
"Ha ha!"
Zhan Kun's laughter suddenly became cheerful, and he praised: "It's not in vain that you have fought with me for decades. He knows the current affairs, knows how to advance and retreat, and is good at himself. He is really a leader among people and a master of the immortal sect!"
Yu Ye raised his chin, rolled his eyes and said, "Speak directly if you have anything to say."
Zhan Kun waved his hand and said: "In a few days, it will be another year of heavenly judgment. You and I might as well do it secretly and cause chaos in the Kongtong realm. By then, all the disciples will be eager to evacuate, and you and I will take advantage of the opportunity to rush out. Then. With the help of my senior brother and the disciples of Tianxuan Sect, great things can be accomplished!"
Yu Ye nodded thoughtfully.
In terms of strategy and resourcefulness, Zhan Kun is above him in the wild. His senior brother Mu Yuanzi should be even better. If we cooperate inside and outside, we should be able to break out of the siege and escape from the Kongtong realm.
Yu Ye stretched out his hand to scratch his chin and said doubtfully: "It stands to reason that it would not be difficult for you to get out of trouble alone. Why did you involve me? You are not harboring evil intentions, right?"
"hehe!"
Zhan Kun smiled bitterly and said: "It's not because of your kid. You spread the news back then, saying that I killed a fellow sect member and pretended to be the Jindan elder of Tianxuan Sect. In order to clear away the relationship, my senior brother had to help Yunchuan Sect deal with me. How should I escape from the Kongtong Valley?" He paused for a moment and then said: "Instead of being trapped like this, it is better to try to get out of the predicament. However, the formation in the Kongtong Valley is so tight that it is really difficult to break out. If you and I join forces, With the help of the Six-winged Golden Salamander, we can catch all parties off guard and rush out of the Kongtong Secret Realm in one fell swoop!"
"Do you still want to snatch the treasure?"
"I've been thinking about it for decades, but nothing can be done!"
"Hey!"
"hehe!"
Yu Ye mentioned overseas treasures with the intention of testing them. Zhan Kun was also honest, leaving him unable to accuse. The two of them looked at each other with a sinister smile, and finally reached an agreement to join forces.
…
Yunchuan Peak.
Qingxia Pavilion.
On the cliff, a woman sat quietly in front of the cave door.
The surrounding scenery is still the same as yesterday, even the sea of clouds in the distance seems unchanged.
But she changed.
Three years ago, after numerous failed retreats, she finally transformed from a Qi-refining disciple to a Foundation-building disciple.
And she is old.
The corners of her eyes were covered with wrinkles, and the blue hair on her head was dyed white with frost.
Her beautiful face has aged, just like the passing youth will never come back.
Foundation building was once her obsession, and she practiced diligently for decades. Now that she got what she wanted, she couldn't feel any joy, or a hint of relief, or relief, but more of a feeling of confusion and loss...
"Junior sister!"
An old man staggered over.
"Brother!"
Bai Zhi nodded slightly and couldn't help but sigh sadly.
The once handsome and free-spirited senior brother Chenqi has become a gray-haired old man and has lost his cultivation. Now he is just a mortal. If it weren't for Yu Ye's fault, he would have been expelled from the Immortal Sect long ago. The same is true for her. Even if she cultivates and builds a foundation, she is still not allowed to leave Yunchuan Peak.
…
The first month of this year.
Monks from all walks of life gathered in Kongtong Valley again.
But it is no longer as grand as before, with only three to four hundred people coming here.
For decades, Yu Ye was never caught, and the excitement among all parties gradually faded. Fortunately, there are many wild animals in Kongtong, and there is no shortage of natural materials and treasures. It is a treasure hunt and exploration, but it is not without gain.
Even so, the five major immortal sects still sent out senior Jindan and their foundation-building disciples.
"boom--"
With a loud noise, a hole opened in the mist-filled canyon, and then light flashed, and the hole was enveloped in the formation.
Hong Lie has reached the sixth level of Jindan. He waved his hand, and then sat down around the formation with Fang Xunzi and other fellow Jindan Taoists.
The waiting people all walked toward the formation.
More than a dozen foundation-building disciples came to the Yunchuan Sect. The leader was Che Ju. She had reached the eighth level of foundation-building and was considered the top master among her peers. Now that Hong Lie can no longer easily enter the Kongtong Realm, she will lead others to participate in this year's Heavenly Jue.
At the same time, several sword lights fell from the sky.
Hong Lie and others stood up to greet them and said unexpectedly: "These sect masters have not shown up for several years, why are they here together today?"
Three old men and a middle-aged strong man cast their swords.
They are the sect masters of the four great immortal sects, Mu Yuanzi, Su Qiuzi, Linghu Bei, and Xun Yuan.
"We were heading to Yunchuan Peak to visit Xie Luozi, and we happened to be passing through Kongtong Valley. I heard that you, Hong Lie, have been promoted to the elder of Shenqitang, so we stopped by to congratulate you."
"My sect leader is still in retreat."
"Hmph, I guess he is in seclusion just to hide the truth, right?"
"There is absolutely no lie in this matter. After the judgment of heaven is over, I will return to the mountain gate and report the truth. As for whether the master of my family will see the guests, I hope you can just follow the fate..."
