A few hours later.
Liangzhou, under the Prison Gate Mountain.
Ancestor Zhenyang, Ancestor Sanshan and Dugu Tianyi met urgently in front of the gate of the secret realm.
"...Sanshan, are you telling the truth?"
Dugu Tianyi looked at Sanshan Patriarch suspiciously:
"Then Master Qingxu has really been promoted to the realm of golden elixir, erasing the imprint you left on the Wanshan True Seal?"
"Of course, it's absolutely true!"
The ancestor of Sanshan looked gloomy and said:
"I have no reason to lie to you. He must have such ability after being promoted to Jindan!"
"After all, although the formations in the Five Elements Secret Area are powerful, it is impossible to control them as finely as mana."
"Otherwise, he would have been able to erase my brand and take away the magic weapon of Wanshan True Seal more than forty years ago. There is no need to wait until now."
As he spoke, his heart was still bleeding.
The Wanshan True Seal is an inheritance passed down by the Shanhe Sect for four generations. Without this main battle magic weapon, his strength will be reduced by at least 40%.
"But I've been waiting here for several hours and I haven't seen him come out!"
Dugutian opened his mouth and said:
"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this is a bit abnormal."
In recent years, it has been his turn to guard the gate of this secret realm.
After hearing the message from the ancestor of Sanshan, he remained nervous and guarded for several hours as if facing an enemy, but in the end there was no movement at all.
"Nothing unusual."
Ancestor Zhenyang looked calm and suddenly said:
"After he achieves the Golden Elixir, he will choose to break out of the situation with high spirits. It is always just our guess."
"Perhaps after he refined the golden elixir, he chose to continue to practice his magical powers and enhance his combat power, and then come out when he is almost ready. This is also normal."
At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing:
"I propose that we give up taking turns guarding from now on, and instead the three of us come together to guard the place."
"After all, you also know that the combat effectiveness of a Golden Core Realm monk before and after relying on his magical powers are completely two different concepts."
"If he comes out after developing magical powers and greatly increasing his strength, then we alone may not be able to stop him..."
Hear his words:
The ancestors of Sanshan and Dugu Tianyi discussed it and nodded in agreement.
After so many years, the situation in Dali's world of immortality has also stabilized. Their respective sects and families have also regained some strength, and they are no longer needed to be in charge for a long time.
If we really talk about it, the Qingxu Master in the secret realm is their real thorn in the side and their number one enemy.
…………
Inside the Five Elements Secret Realm.
After Zhang Yao received the Wanshan True Seal, he continued to retreat, comprehend and practice magical powers.
The complete divine channel technique is more than ten times more complicated than the simplified version of the Taoist method in the foundation stage. Even with the cultivation and understanding of the golden elixir realm, it often requires long-term hard training for many years.
With the help of 'Mingguang True Flame' and 'Thunder Strike Divine Tree', after Zhang Yao completed the step of enlightening the five elements, he started by separating the five phases and gradually understood the wonders of supernatural powers.
In the process of practicing magical powers, the memory from Yuwentai once again played a great role.
Liu Cang, the five-element cultivator back then, had perfected the golden elixir of the complete 'Nine-Colored Heavenly Wheel'. He was extremely familiar with the cultivation methods, tips and key points of the five-element magical power.
Zhang Yao's understanding of his memory was as if he had received careful instruction from a famous teacher, and he naturally made rapid progress.
Just thirty years later:
Zhang Yao pushed the progress of the practice of 'Aurora Escape Technique' and 'Destroying Divine Thunder' to 100%.
The golden elixir of inner vision:
On the flawless first-grade golden elixir, two of the nine divine patterns have already changed.
One of the divine patterns is covered with mysterious runes and curse seals flashing in white light, like an aurora across the sky;
On the other divine mark, there was a faint purple thunder light rising, exuding an aura full of destruction and destruction.
"good."
Zhang Yao nodded slightly, looking satisfied:
"After entrusting the golden elixir and transforming it into magical power, the power will indeed be improved in all aspects."
With a thought, he called up the long-lost attribute panel:
Name: Zhang Yao
Talent: source of vitality, transformation of essence
Realm: Early stage of Golden Elixir
Kung Fu: "Wanhuadu Tianzhen Sutra"
Supernatural powers: Aurora Escape (100%), God-killing Thunder (100%)
Taoist magic: One Heart and One Fate Curse (100%), Septic Blood Technique (100%), Lost Soul Divine Light (100%)
Taoism: abbreviated
Spells: slightly
Skills: third-level alchemy (41%), third-level weapon refining (46%), third-level talisman mastery (53%), third-level spiritual pattern mastery (55%), third-level formation mastery (79%)
It can be seen from the panel:
Zhang Yao has been practicing for thirty years. Not only has he perfected the two great magical powers, but he has also upgraded two self-created Taoist methods into Taoist arts, and by the way, he has also advanced the divine light of the fallen soul to a perfect level.
Not only the magic of divine passage, but also techniques such as alchemy, weapon refining, talismans, formations, etc., have also made great progress in the past thirty years.
"The recent progress in formation attainments has been a bit slow."
"Memory is not omnipotent. After all, I am not Yuwentai. It is impossible to completely copy his insights."
In Zhang Yao's heart, thoughts flashed slightly:
"The art of formation still requires personal practice and the ability to learn from others' strengths in order to make rapid progress."
"My understanding of the Yin-Yang Second Formation is still shallow, and the tyrannical formations I have personally witnessed are limited. It is understandable that my progress is slow."
Having said that, Zhang Yao is quite satisfied with his formation attainments.
It has only been thirty years since he achieved the Golden Elixir, and he is already considered to be at the upper level among third-level formation mages, which is extremely rare.
"After thirty years of practicing, my strength has been unable to improve."
Zhang Yao thought of this, smiled lightly, and stood up slowly:
"It's time to leave the secret realm and meet Ancestor Zhenyang and others."
…………
Underground in Prison Gate Mountain.
Ancestor Zhenyang and others built a simple residence respectively, surrounding the gate of the secret realm.
On weekdays, they sometimes exchanged their experience in cultivating the Taoism with each other, and occasionally discussed the magical methods. Most of the time, they practiced hard and understood alone.
Suddenly:
The door to the secret realm, which had been silent for many years, suddenly glowed with a burst of five-color brilliance, creating lines like water waves.
"Um?"
Such movement immediately alerted the three ancestors of Zhenyang. They instantly harnessed the escape light and arrived at the door of the secret realm.
"He's coming out!"
The three of them looked at each other with solemn expressions, staring at the door of the secret realm, waiting for it.
"Wow..."
Among the water-wave-like patterns, Zhang Yao was dressed in a blue Taoist robe, wearing a lotus crown on his head, and Shi Shiran stepped out of the bronze door.
He glanced around and saw Ancestor Zhenyang and others who were facing a formidable enemy, and smiled slightly:
"Ancestor Zhenyang, Ancestor Sanshan, Ancestor Lonely."
Zhang Yao bowed his head and said:
"I am poor and pure, but I have admired the names of the three of you for a long time."
"The three of you have been waiting here for a long time to besiege the poor man. It seems that you are ready to decide whether to win or lose, so please..."
"etc!"
Ancestor Zhenyang suddenly spoke and interrupted his words:
"I'm afraid Fellow Daoist Qingxu has misunderstood."
He lowered his head slightly and softened his tone a little:
"The previous conflicts between us and fellow Taoists were mostly coincidental, and they were not a life-or-death feud or a battle over the path."
"Now that Taoist friends have arrived at the Golden Core Realm, inheriting the mantle of the Five Elements Sanren and carrying on the past, it is also a great joy for our world of immortal cultivation in Dali."
"The three of us are willing to have a bet with our Taoist friends and turn this conflict into friendship. What do you think of your friendship?"
"oh?"
When Zhang Yao heard this, his expression was a little subtle.
He did not expect that Ancestor Zhenyang and others would take the initiative to give in, instead of shouting and killing him and fighting him fiercely.
Even judging from his tone, there was a hint of submission. It seemed that they had already thought about how to face him.
"This is interesting."
Zhang Yao had a look of interest on his face and gestured:
"Fellow Taoist Zhenyang, please continue."
Ancestor Zhenyang took a deep breath and said:
"Fellow Taoist is a golden elixir monk who can refine the formation into the body. His strength is extraordinary. When we fight alone, we think we are no match for fellow Taoist."
"The three of us are brave and want to join forces to have a bet with fellow Taoists and compete."
"If we win, we will never be friends. We just want to ask fellow Taoists to leave Dali from now on and make a Taoist oath to never return to Dali."
"If we lose, we will voluntarily respect fellow Taoist as the master. From now on, the world of Dali Cultivation Immortality will look up to fellow Taoist and give orders without hesitation!"
This was the proposal of Patriarch Zhenyang back then, and it was also the unanimous opinion of the three golden elixir monks.
The strength of the three of them can only be regarded as ordinary among the golden elixir monks, and they are all in the early stage of the golden elixir.
They also know how strong the combat power of the monks who practice the way of refining the formation into the body is. They can tell from the fact that the Five Elements Sanren's reputation still exists two thousand years after his death.
In this situation:
They did not want to take the risk of offending Master Qingxu to death. After all, if they were defeated and died, they would probably face the consequences of implicating all their families and sects, and losing hundreds of thousands of years of orthodox inheritance.
They have all become the aloof Jindan ancestors and pillars of the sect, so naturally they cherish their lives even more. Appropriate compromises and concessions are also a wise way to protect one's life.
"Hahaha……"
Zhang Yao laughed loudly and said loudly:
"Okay, then the poor Taoist should agree to a fight!"
Thirty years ago, he was one against three, with a good chance of winning;
Thirty years later, he had practiced various divine channel techniques, and he thought that it would be easy to deal with Patriarch Zhenyang and others.
Since this is a gambling battle that must be won, there is no harm in agreeing.
After all, in most cases, living people are more useful than dead people. If he can really command Dali to cultivate the immortal world, it will also bring him huge benefits.
"...Okay, then it's a deal!"
Ancestor Zhenyang and others looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.
…………
After a while.
Zhang Yao, Ancestor Zhenyang and others flew into the sky together and arrived at a height of ten thousand feet.
The strong wind here is fierce and raging endlessly. Whenever the monks in the foundation building stage come here, they will be blown away by the protective aura and face the danger of falling and death.
The golden elixir fighting technique can often lead to disasters hundreds of miles away. It is also the default rule among the golden elixir realm monks to fight in the sky as much as possible.
"Fellow Taoist Qingxu, please."
Ancestor Zhenyang, Ancestor Sanshan and Dugu Tianyi, with their magic power surging in their bodies, took out their respective magic weapons and looked solemn.
"Be careful."
Zhang Yao opened his mouth to remind him, then suddenly raised his hands and grasped them in vain:
"Tear!"
The dazzling purple thunder light flashed and instantly condensed into seven or eight fist-sized purple thunder balls, rising between Zhang Yao's hands.
This is the slaying divine thunder, one of the five magical powers!
"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"...
The thunder ball flew out with a roar, as fast as lightning, and in an instant it spanned a distance of several hundred feet and exploded next to Ancestor Zhenyang and the others.
In an instant, the dazzling purple electric light spread out into a vast ocean of thunder, and the vibrating wind roared into a vacuum!
"Damn it!"
The expression of Sanshan Patriarch changed.
As early as the moment when the thunder ball exploded, he activated his magical power and transformed into a thick shadow, protecting the three of them.
Among the three golden elixir ancestors, he has the foundation of earth-attributed mana and has the strongest protective means.
But what shocked him was:
Seven or eight thunder balls exploded, and the power of each thunder ball was almost close to the explosion of the third-level secret treasure thunder ball. The power of the sea of thunder that exploded and superimposed on each other was even more terrifying.
In less than a moment, the phantom of the land and earth he cast showed signs of being torn to pieces, and was about to be unable to hold on!
The ancestors of Sanshan were almost suffocated.
In such a terrifying sea of thunder, if you are hit from the front without protection, you will probably shed a layer of your skin even if you don't die!
"I can't hold it anymore!"
The ancestor of Sanshan’s spiritual thoughts anxiously transmitted the message:
"Let's go! Break out separately!!"
"What?!"
Ancestor Zhenyang and Dugutian beside him were always confused.
What's going on?
The three of them have practiced magical techniques with each other for many years, and have also practiced combined attacks, and they all have a tacit understanding with each other.
The ancestors of Sanshan are responsible for protection. They are about to use their magical powers and activate their magic weapons to attack head-on. But you tell me that it has only been less than an instant and you can't hold on anymore?
“These three mountains are so deceiving!!”
Ancestor Zhenyang cursed angrily in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
The ancestor of Sanshan couldn't hold on any longer, so he couldn't be forced to hold on any longer. At this time, the most important thing was to seize the last bit of avoidance.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
A line of fire and a flash of lightning instantly rushed out of the shadow of the land and land, far away from the scope of the Sea of Lei Ze.
"Boom!"
The sea of thunder completely crushed the shadow of the land and land, and the terrifying power of thunder shook everywhere.
The ancestor of Sanshan was trembling all over after being beaten, his face was charred, and he was vomiting blood in his mouth. If he had not avoided the frontal power at the last moment, he would have suffered serious injuries.
"Not good! Sanshan is in danger!"
The expressions of Ancestor Zhenyang and Dugu Tianyi changed, and alarm bells rang in their hearts.
The three of them could still hold on together, but if they were to seize the opportunity to break off one of their arms and defeat each of them, then they might as well surrender to this fight.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
The red gold ring roared out, endless flames rose; the lightning flying sword roared and killed, and the thunder dragon roared.
They unanimously made a choice - to attack the place they must save!
If we go to rescue the ancestor of Sanshan, we will fall into a passive position and be easily caught and targeted. It is better to directly attack and kill Qingxu Zhengshen and force him to protect himself!
But what they didn't expect was:
"call out!"
The white light flashed away!
Zhang Yao transformed into a white rainbow, and in an instant he directly crossed five to six hundred feet and reached the ancestor of Sanshan.
