Zhang Hao was originally an ordinary villager from a village in Qingshui County of the Dali Dynasty.
When he was fourteen, his parents died in an accident.
And because he has few blood relatives and weak power, he is often bullied by the villagers, and even has his own land taken away.
No, they can only go into the mountains to hunt to survive.
And when Zhang Hao was fifteen years old, when he went hunting in the mountains, he accidentally encountered two mortal innate masters fighting to the death over a certain treasure.
In the end, they both died together. Zhang Hao, who was hiding aside, not only obtained the treasure, but also obtained two innate skills for cultivating the physical body and internal strength, and has since embarked on the path of training.
With the help of that treasure, it took him only two years to reach the innate realm. He also met a monk by chance and was lucky enough to embark on the path to immortality. He even forced his way through the Qingyun Sect's design three years ago. Passed the test and became an outer disciple.
His journey from mortal to immortal is legendary. If he had another good talent, he would most likely be able to go further.
However, it is a pity that during the spiritual root test, the spiritual root detected by Zhang Hao was the fifth spiritual root, which was a false spiritual root.
Not only is the refining of spiritual energy very slow, but the spiritual energy required for promotion is far more than that of other monks, not to mention the techniques he practices consume a huge amount of resources.
If he hadn't had that treasure and put in a lot of effort to become an alchemist, I might not have been able to reach the foundation building stage in this life.
But even if he reaches the advanced stage of Qi refining, the hope of building a foundation is very slim.
After all, the recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill is strictly controlled, and Zhang Hao cannot obtain it through normal channels.
Even if he obtains foundation-building spiritual objects such as the Immortal Foundation Fruit, and because of his talent, even if there are many foundation-building spiritual objects, the success rate of attacking the foundation-building is still less than 50%.
Therefore, he could only focus on the secret method of foundation building, and he even did not hesitate to use several precious elixirs to resist it in order to obtain this method.
Unfortunately, he was not the only one who was eyeing this method. Even though he had carefully concealed his traces, he was still found and rounded up.
In order to get rid of the pursuit, Zhang Hao had to use a second-level talisman that he won in the sect competition - [Lingyang Fire Talisman].
But there are also powerful characters among the pursuers who relied on life-saving means to avoid his fatal blow and pursued him relentlessly.
Even when he randomly chose a place to escape, he was still blocked by monks who heard about it.
'Damn it... If the attributes of my five-element spiritual roots were uniform and mutually reinforcing, my talent would be comparable to that of a peerless genius with a single spiritual root. However, the strength of my spiritual roots is uneven, restraining each other, and dragging down my practice...
If not, why should I fight for the foundation-building secret method to end up in this situation. '
Seeing the monks surrounding him, Zhang Hao couldn't help but secretly hate his talent.
But after all, he was a monk who came from a mountain village and had a strong character. This thought only flashed through his mind, and he quickly corrected his mentality.
'The most important thing now is to find opportunities to break out. I still have a [Purple Thunder Bead] in my hand that I got from the last cave exploration, which can bring out the power of the foundation building stage...'
'But the problem now is that these people are staring at me. Once they take action, they will definitely be alert. By then... huh? ! '
Zhang Hao's eyes suddenly widened.
Because in front of him, a black-robed monk with his back turned suddenly attacked a gray-robed monk.
This was not a big deal at first, but what happened next made his jaw drop.
He has experienced many battles between monks. They always stand on two sides and use spiritual weapons, talismans, and magic to fight, but this is the first time he has seen such a strange battle before him.
Not only were all the attacks released by the gray-robed monk ineffective, the opponent even disappeared from a few meters away as if teleporting, appeared in front of the gray-robed monk, and strangled his neck alive with his hands.
This battle gave him a strange feeling, like an image in a mirror suddenly reaching out and strangling the person in front of the mirror to death!
Ignoring attacks, teleporting, and even transforming reality into reality, is this a method that a monk in the Qi Refining Stage can master? !
'Wait, this is an opportunity! Even though he was shocked, Zhang Hao, who had experienced many battles, quickly came to his senses and even grasped this opportunity keenly.
The other party's weird methods made everyone present very fearful. Even if their target was themselves, they would draw a certain amount of attention.
And this is his chance to break through!
'When the opponent leaves the field, others will subconsciously relax, and at that time, it is my opportunity! 'With this thought, Zhang Hao immediately concentrated all his attention and stared at the achievements of the man in black!
'Five meters, six meters, seven meters... ten meters, that's it! 'The moment they saw the other party reaching the edge of the crowd, when everyone felt relieved, Zhang Hao took action boldly!
Hey!
A large amount of lightning flashed, forming a ball of lightning in an instant, and continued to expand, engulfing everyone present in just a few seconds!
"Charge!" Zhang Hao roared while holding the defensive weapon!
[Purple Thunder Bead] has been specially refined to prevent the user from being injured.
Therefore, after this attack, everyone in the venue was either dead or injured, but he was still in good condition, so he could take advantage of this opportunity to escape!
As for counter-attack, the idea was abandoned as soon as it appeared in his mind.
It's not that he doesn't want to fight back, but because the monks who can chase here all have unique skills. Even if they are seriously injured, it will take a certain amount of time to kill them. If there are others who catch up by then, , that would be troublesome.
Hey!
Zhang Hao ran wildly outside.
The remaining thunder and lightning drew arcs on his defensive spiritual weapon, revealing sparks and noises, and around him were charred corpses.
He quickly escaped from the encirclement without anyone stopping him.
"Finally out!" Even Zhang Hao, who had always been resolute, couldn't help but show a hint of joy after escaping from the siege.
He jumped and quickly disappeared into the jungle.
"Phew—it's finally safe!"
After escaping a certain distance, Zhang Hao couldn't help but let out a long breath.
After all, being chased by someone, a feeling similar to walking on a tightrope, is really uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he finally escaped.
Looking at the beautiful moonlight, feeling the evening breeze, and listening to the melodious sound of the flute suddenly coming from far away, the nerves that were tense due to the pursuit could not help but feel relaxed.
"The sound of this flute feels inexplicably familiar. It feels like the lullaby my mother sang when I was young." Zhang Hao murmured, his eyes a little blurry.
However, the next moment, his body froze inexplicably, because he quickly realized that something was wrong.
Where does the sound of the flute come from in this wilderness? !
At this moment, Zhang Hao felt a sudden coldness coming from behind.
His whole body was tense, his hairs stood on end, and he subconsciously turned his head.
But alas, it's too late.
Behind him, in a place that could not be covered by the moonlight, a tall and thin figure like a ghost appeared.
He held the dark red dagger in his hand, and before Zhang Hao had time to react, he stabbed him in the back fiercely!
