Half an hour ago.
"Wow..."
The water in the Emerald Lake surged, and three figures suddenly appeared under the lake.
Fairy Feiying glanced around, and after confirming that she had left the Jade Palace, she immediately urged:
"Let's go quickly!"
"That Taoist Sansha can't last long in front of Patriarch Qingxu. If he doesn't leave, it will be too late!"
Fairy Xiaguang nodded and was about to fly away together, but she saw a look of hesitation on the face of Patriarch Wanchuan.
"Wan Chuan, are you still unwilling?"
She spoke with a hint of displeasure in her tone:
"If you continue to break up, you will suffer chaos. This is what you said yourself!"
"The conspiracy of the Holy Palace has failed. Fortunately, our gains are not small. It's time to stop and fly away. Stop making wild ideas!"
The battle with Man Tiansheng was not as smooth as they imagined.
As a high-level body-refining cultivator, Man was born with many means. Even in an extremely unfavorable environment, he almost made a comeback. Fairy Feiying even suffered serious injuries for this.
It was this battle that made them realize the reality and retreat in their hearts. They no longer had the confidence to compete with Qingxu and Sansha, so after choosing to sow discord, they directly used the back door to leave.
"Fellow Taoist Wanchuan."
Fairy Feiying's tone also turned cold and she was no longer polite:
"Plan B is no longer working and I hope you recognize reality."
"If you want to take a gamble, then you have to do it yourself. Don't expect us sisters to hand over our lives to you as a bargaining chip!"
There is a backup plan in the strategy formulated by the three demon cultivators.
They had considered escaping directly on the tenth level, and then lurking outside the palace, letting the rest of the trialists fight and eliminate each other, waiting for the final winner to come out, and wait and see.
Under normal circumstances, the final winner would either be seriously injured, or suffer from serious mana loss and poor condition. The three of them teamed up and waited for work, so the chance of winning was still very high.
But this backup plan was eventually rejected, and the reason was very simple - the final reward of the tenth level was a huge variable.
A killing spirit treasure is enough to change the strength of an ordinary golden elixir monk and reverse the situation of strength and weakness, let alone the ultimate reward of the Jade Palace?
Especially considering that this reward is very likely to fall into the hands of the extremely powerful Ancestor Qingxu, their chances of winning are even slimmer, and it is not worth the risk at all.
"Fellow Taoist Wanchuan, let's leave together. Don't take any more risks."
Fairy Xiaguang couldn't help but speak and persuaded.
Unlike Fairy Feiying, he and Patriarch Wanchuan have been helping each other for decades, and their relationship is still closer.
The three of them formed a blood contract and agreed to share the proceeds from the palace. However, they did not get the reward for the tenth level and the contract had been terminated. She just didn't want to see Ancestor Wanchuan die in vain.
"No……"
Patriarch Wanchuan took a deep breath. He seemed to calm down, but his attitude became firm:
"I can't leave."
He looked at Fairy Xiaguang and Fairy Feiying and said in a serious tone:
"I'm over thirteen hundred years old."
"In the first two hundred years of practicing the immortal way, I had the help of the demon clan's bloodline. My practice was smooth and unfailing. I refined the golden elixir in just over a hundred years."
"But after I achieved the golden elixir, my bloodline became a shackle for me, making it difficult for me to make progress for thousands of years!"
"In order to break through the bottleneck, I have tried many methods. I founded the Fuhai Sect to collect various resources and secrets for me, and changed my identity several times to cover up, but in the end, it was all in vain..."
When he said this, he sighed and said:
"During such a long period of time, I have had an unforgettable experience of the difficulty of cultivating a demon."
"I have regretted more than once. I boldly stepped into the path of demon cultivation, but there is no regret in the world. It is too late to think about it anymore..."
After hearing the heartfelt words of Ancestor Wanchuan, Fairy Xiaguang and Fairy Feiying also fell silent.
They were also demon cultivators, and they could sympathize with Patriarch Wanchuan's experience, especially the older Fairy Feiying.
The path of demon cultivation appeared after the great destruction of ancient times, and it has a history of tens of thousands of years.
The difficulty of cultivation between the demon cultivators before the Golden Pill and those after the Golden Pill can be said to be worlds apart. Demon cultivators at the Nascent Soul level are extremely rare, and those at the realm of deity have never appeared before.
After all, smelting demon blood and practicing demon clan skills with one's own body is not a noble and righteous way. As time goes on, the differences between the two become more serious and become irreconcilable, and the cultivation level directly falls into a state of stagnation.
"I don't have hundreds of years to live, I have to seize every opportunity!"
Patriarch Wanchuan's expression showed an unprecedented determination:
"It can be inferred from the various details of this Wanshou League Villa that its supervisors take special care of the bloodline of the demon clan."
"It can be seen from the rankings of the first few levels that these levels do not test absolute strength, but the relative ratio based on the same realm."
"The monks who have refined the formation into the body are already invincible kings at the same level; you have witnessed the strength of Patriarch Qingxu with your own eyes."
"And in the same level of ratio, who can have more powerful mana than him, more powerful soul than him, and a body that is far superior to him, besides those demon clans with noble blood in ancient times, who else can be there? ?”
After hearing this, Fairy Feiying and Fairy Xiaguang looked at each other and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The physical talent of the demon race is naturally not comparable to that of the human race.
Their huge and powerful bodies can naturally hold more mana, nurture more powerful souls, and are physically stronger than any human race. They also have innate magical powers brought by their bloodline, and their lifespan is extremely long. The only flaw is reproduction. Difficulty and progression are even more difficult.
But at least in the first few levels of the Emerald Palace, there are no levels targeting age or lifespan.
"Based on my inference, most of the beings on the ancient list in the first few levels of the Jade Palace are probably ancient monsters!"
"In addition, there is a backdoor specially left for the demon cultivator's bloodline... I guess the reward for this tenth level is more biased towards the geniuses of the demon clan, which is also crucial for those of us with the demon clan's bloodline! "
Patriarch Wanchuan’s tone slowed down:
"This is an ancient treasure aimed at the bloodline of the demon clan. If we miss this opportunity, I'm afraid it won't be possible to wait for the second time for hundreds or even thousands of years!"
"At least for me, I would rather fight vigorously than live for hundreds of years and die miserably and helplessly!"
He looked at Fairy Xiaguang and Fairy Feiying and said in a deep voice:
"I wonder what you two think?"
People who can cultivate to the golden elixir realm never lack decision-making.
Fairy Xiaguang and Fairy Feiying looked at each other and saw the movement in each other's eyes. They were obviously moved by Patriarch Wanchuan.
The path of cultivation for a demon cultivator is so difficult, no opportunity should be missed, let alone an ancient treasure!
"Wan Chuan, what are you going to do?"
Fairy Xiaguang said directly:
"With our strength, if we go head-to-head, we probably won't be the opponent of Ancestor Qingxu."
"There's no need to go head-to-head."
Patriarch Wanchuan smiled confidently, reached out and took out a set of sea-blue formation flags.
"Third-level formation flag magic weapon?!"
Fairy Xiaguang's eyes suddenly lit up and she couldn't help but said:
"Could it be that you had anticipated this situation and made preparations in advance?"
A complete set of treasures such as formation flags is the most precious among magical and spiritual weapons of the same level.
A complete set of array flag magic weapons is also much more valuable than ordinary magic weapons. One piece can be worth seven or eight pieces, which shows how precious they are.
And the power of this kind of formation flag magic weapon is also very amazing. When properly deployed, it can even be as powerful as a powerful ancient spiritual treasure!
"That's not true."
Patriarch Wanchuan laughed and said:
"The good thing about living a long life is that you have a rich fortune and are prepared for everything."
"I got this set of formation flags in Jingguo more than 600 years ago. I haven't used it a few times since I got it. Now it's just used to deal with that Qingxu kid!"
"Are you sure nothing will go wrong?"
Fairy Feiying was still a little worried and couldn't help but ask:
"He is a monk who has mastered the art of forming formations, and his attainments in formations must be extremely powerful..."
"Of course I have considered this."
Ancestor Wanchuan waved his hand and said nonchalantly:
"Don't worry, even if he is a third-level formation master, it will take at least half an hour to find out the flaw in the formation's operation and get out of the formation."
"For such a long time, surrounded and suppressed by the power of the formation, and surrounded by the three of us, he should have been dead long ago!"
As soon as these words came out, Fairy Feiying and Fairy Xiaguang also put down their last worries.
The three of them quickly took action and began to set up formation flags along the Emerald Lake.
The Emerald Lake itself is the place where hundreds of miles of surrounding mountains, rivers, land auras, and spiritual veins in the water converge. The aura environment is also first-class, so it was selected as the place for Jindan's discussion.
This feng shui treasure land is enough to carry the third level formation.
…………
"Wow!"
Deep in the emerald lake, the water surges.
Zhang Yao suddenly appeared at the bottom of the lake, and he immediately felt a strong aura rising, and the surrounding lake water stirred up.
He turned his head and looked around, and saw the Emerald Palace re-entering the ground at the bottom of the lake and disappearing.
"It should be that the space has moved away."
Zhang Yao withdrew his gaze and was about to fly away when he suddenly stopped.
"This trace of the formation...is the formation flag magic weapon?"
His eyes and thoughts swept around him, his face turned cold, and he said calmly:
"It's true that the human heart is incompetent and a snake swallows an elephant!"
"You are lucky enough to be able to escape from the Jade Palace. I didn't expect you were not satisfied and dared to ambush me here!"
Zhang Yao just finished speaking:
"Boom!"
As the surrounding lake roared wildly, the scene suddenly changed.
The emerald gem-like lake water turned into layers of water curtains, blocking sight and spiritual thoughts. At the same time, it was constantly moving and changing, which was dizzying.
The voice of Ancestor Wanchuan came from behind the thousands of emerald water curtains:
"Qingxu, accept death!"
There is no nonsense, it is a killer move!
"Boom!" "Boom!"...
Hundreds of water curtains crashed down, like pieces of glazed domes collapsing, squeezing inward from all directions.
The power of formations that rely on the mighty power of heaven and earth can never be resisted by monks of the same level alone; if a normal Jindan monk falls into such a formation, he will face a desperate situation of no life or death!
"boom!"
Zhang Yao pushed out his palms and used his magical power to destroy the divine thunder, instantly turning dozens of feet around him into a sea of lightning.
In a series of shocking explosions, the emerald water curtain collided with the Sea of Thunder, bursting, twisting, and annihilating each other, causing a wider range of power to leak out.
If this was not within the third-level formation, the aftermath of the collision between the two parties alone would be enough to turn the entire Emerald Lake into a sinkhole.
"Um……"
Zhang Yao's face was solemn, and all his magic power was running rapidly.
But even though he tried his best, he still couldn't compete with the real third-level formation. He watched thousands of water curtains gradually overwhelm the power of the God-killing Thunder, constantly compressing its existence space.
"Shua!" "Whoosh!"...
The crimson hairpin, the sunset hairpin, and the sea blue ball were bombarded by three magic weapons!
Ancestor Wanchuan and others chose the right time. It was just when Zhang Yao was using all his magical powers and formation power to fight, and he couldn't spare any hand to defend against their attack.
At the critical moment:
"Wow!"
Zhang Yao's body disintegrated again and turned into an invisible breeze. While avoiding its sharp edge, he had to give up maintaining the God-killing Thunder.
Patriarch Wanchuan and the other three were not surprised but delighted, because Zhang Yao's methods had been expected by them!
"Boom!"
In an instant, thousands of layers of water curtains without obstruction were pressed up, almost completely blocking Zhang Yao's activity area.
Once the formation is completely encircled, even if Zhang Yao has great magical powers, he will still be trapped to death.
"Hahaha……"
The laughter of Patriarch Wanchuan resounded through the bottom of the Emerald Lake:
"The tides are turning, and today is the day you die!"
