Xiuxian: I have an inventory
Chapter 241: Retreat, Overseas
Looking at the expression of the ancestor Zhudao Zhenjun that did not allow for any discussion, Zhu Qingyun knew that he no longer had room for objection.
Unless, he can give up the innate jade liquid and give up the hope of forming 20% of the Nascent Soul.
But how could he give it up?
After nearly a hundred years of painstaking efforts and hardships, how can we just give up?
As for his ambitions and aspirations, if he cannot form a Nascent Soul, everything will become a mirage.
He must become a Yuanying Zhenjun, the leader of the immortal cultivation world in Dayu, and be famous among all the countries!
After forming the Nascent Soul, Su Wushuang will be willing to depend on him, and all those who have laughed at him behind his back will turn around and praise him!
He will no longer bear the stigma and be a clown. He will become the protagonist and a legend!
And there is also True Monarch Hongxiu, his former fiancée, the woman who brought him endless humiliation, who will eventually be caught up by him and trampled under his feet!
But now, he had to beg for help from the woman who brought him humiliation…
“Okay, I am willing to go and beg Master Hongxiu.”
Zhu Qingyun said with a somewhat dry voice.
True Lord Zhudao nodded with satisfaction and said, “It should be within two or three years that True Lord Hongxiu will return to Dayu Immortal Cultivation Realm. By then, Xiaozhu will act as a bridge between them.”
Zhu Qingyun seemed to have thought of something and asked, “Did Master Hongxiu return to Dayu’s immortal cultivation world because of the invasion of the evil cultivators of the Demon Sect?”
True Lord Zhudao did not hide it either: “Yes. That old devil has become stronger and more unstoppable. I, an old man, and Jianqi can’t stop him. Moreover, the Demon Cult is in deep water now. In addition to that old devil, the resurgence of evil spirits is becoming more and more frequent. Although our five immortal cultivation countries have been independent of each other for thousands of years, at this time, no one can be immune. If the Great Yu Immortal Cultivation World is completely destroyed, the others will not be able to fare well either.”
“True Lord Hongxiu is from the Great Yu Cultivation World. This time, she is representing the Jiulian Chamber of Commerce and the Dandao League to help explore the Demon Cult’s background.”
Zhu Qingyun was so smart that he figured out the connection in a snap. He asked in a low voice, “So, ancestor, you don’t actually want to cooperate with True Lord Hongxiu, but with the Jiulian Chamber of Commerce… and the other four immortal cultivation kingdoms?”
True Lord Zhudao nodded and sighed, “We must prepare for the worst! What if the Great Yu Immortal Cultivation World completely falls and becomes the territory of the Demon Cult? Even our Xingyue Palace will not be able to defend the mountain gate from being breached. We must find a way to retreat.”
“If True Lord Hongxiu is willing to help, Xingyue Palace will have a way out.”
“Okay, I understand. If the ancestor has no other instructions, I will return to the sect first.” Zhu Qingyun said.
Zhudao Zhenjun waved his hand, stared at the fish float and said, “Go back.”
Zhu Qingyun bowed respectfully and after taking a few steps, he turned into a beam of light and disappeared in the misty drizzle.
He really understood.
The so-called asking him to find Master Hongxiu to repay a favor was fake, and the real purpose was to find a way out for Xingyue Palace!
In fact, even if Xiao Changqing could integrate the power of heaven and earth into his magical powers, in the eyes of a true Nascent Soul cultivator, he would not be too much of a threat and could be resolved.
It doesn’t require two Yuanying Zhenjun to solve it.
But the ancestor was unwilling to take action for him personally, and insisted that he sacrifice his dignity in exchange for benefits for the sect before he was willing to take action.
“Haha, it’s nothing more than the fact that Qin Feng is here…”
For many years, Zhu Qingyun has been cultivated as the top priority by Xingyue Palace.
That is why his cultivation was able to be improved to the late Jindan stage and perfection at an extremely fast speed.
You should know that at the beginning, his cultivation was even worse than Su Wushuang’s, but Su Wushuang had the blessing of the Xuanyin Taoist body, and was eventually left far behind by him. Naturally, it was the Xingyue Palace that provided a large number of cultivation resources.
but.
When Qin Feng suddenly appeared in the world and formed the highest grade perfect and flawless golden elixir, everyone in the sect regarded Qin Feng as the genius with the greatest hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
As for him, the quality of his golden elixir was slightly inferior, so naturally he did not receive as much attention as before.
“I have devoted my heart and soul to the sect, thinking only of the future return.”
Zhu Qingyun sneered in his heart.
When he forms his Nascent Soul in the future, he will avenge himself for all these grievances!
……
……
Qingxu Realm.
Blood Crystal Island is not far from the land, only about five hundred miles away.
For a Jindan cultivator, it would only take about two incense sticks of time to perform the escape technique.
Of course, for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage or even the Foundation Establishment Stage, these five hundred miles are not so easy to cross.
It’s not that the distance is far, but that the sea is not land. The unfathomable sea water contains countless dangers.
Sea monsters, strange natural disasters, bizarre and strange events…
Even in the near-shore areas, the risk factors are much lower, but they are still deadly for low-level monks.
Only a Jindan Zhenren can come and go freely in the offshore area, and basically there will be no crisis that cannot be resolved.
“This is the first time I’ve seen the ocean in the world of immortal cultivation.”
Xiao Changqing was riding on the flying boat, his soul spreading out in all directions. He found that his perception was greatly compressed after going deep into the sea water, and was less than one-third of the land part.
Although he did not encounter any powerful sea monsters during his flight, the cultivator’s innate vigilance reminded him that this endless ocean should not be underestimated.
This is also true in the historical records of Qingxu Realm.
The endless distant sea areas are, most of the time, restricted areas for human monks.
Not to mention a Jindan Zhenren, even a Yuanying Zhenjun would not go there easily.
Because in the deep sea area, there are many dangers that can cause the death of Nascent Soul cultivators.
According to verifiable historical records, only during the Five Elements Dynasty ten thousand years ago, when the Five Elements Emperor had not yet ascended to the fairyland, he conquered the endless ocean and made many monster tribes in the ocean submit to him.
With the ascension of the Five Elements Emperor, another ten thousand years passed, and the endless deep sea area had long since returned to being a restricted area for human cultivators.
Although there were some extremely talented human monks who were able to explore deep into the distant sea areas and ignore the dangers, no one could subdue the monsters in the sea.
but.
Although the offshore areas are dangerous, they also offer many opportunities, such as the remains of high-level monks, secret realms, and natural treasures produced in the sea. Therefore, some monks who are desperate will flee overseas to seek opportunities for breakthroughs; some monks who are being hunted down will fight to the death and enter the deep sea to avoid being hunted down.
There will also be pirates who roam between the open sea and the near sea, committing robbery.
“Master. We have arrived at Blood Crystal Island.”
Disciple Hu Li came to Xiao Changqing.
This time, Xiao Changqing not only brought Hu Li, but also more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators. They all accepted the mission of “guarding Blood Crystal Island” in the sect to earn contribution points.
The Blood Crystal Island is now being targeted by the Fu Hai Sect, led by Lady Minghe, and is full of danger.
But as long as the contribution points are high, there will always be disciples willing to take the risk and try.
“Let’s go down.”
Xiao Changqing was the first to step out of the flying boat, leading a dozen Sanyang Sect disciples behind him and flying towards the island ahead that was shrouded in a faint blood-colored mist.
There is a formation covering the sky above the island, and the level of the formation is very high, reaching the fourth level.
Generally, a Jindan Zhenren who tries to force his way in will surely die.
Xiao Changqing used his magic power to wrap his token and threw it into the formation. After the Sanyang Sect disciples in the formation verified his identity, he opened a hole in the island protection formation and let the group in.
“Brother Fang, why are you here?!”
The person in charge of guarding the formation was an inner sect elder who had reached the Jindan stage, named Han Ce.
There are quite a few elders in the Sanyang Sect who have reached the Jindan stage, but not too many, so they must all know each other.
However, monks spend most of their time practicing and have their own plans. It is unrealistic to say that all the elders are familiar and close.
In the past, Fang Yuan and Han Ce were just casual acquaintances, they could only be considered acquaintances and had a basic understanding of each other.
“Brother Fang, I heard that you were seriously injured by Madam Minghe some time ago. Have you recovered from your injuries? Also, didn’t we ask the sect to send an elder in the middle stage of Jindan to support us? Why are you here?” Han Ce was surprised and confused, and asked several questions in a row.
It wasn’t like he had any dissatisfaction with Xiao Changqing.
But the situation on Blood Crystal Island is critical now, and an elder in the early Jindan stage is not enough to resolve the crisis.
“My injuries have completely healed. Moreover, this time it can be considered a blessing in disguise, as my cultivation has been raised to the middle stage of Jindan.” Xiao Changqing said with a smile, and immediately took the initiative to release his magical aura.
No explanation can compare to seeing it with your own eyes.
Feeling the powerful Jindan magic power released by Xiao Changqing, which was far beyond the early stage of Jindan, Han Ce raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: “I didn’t expect that Brother Fang would have such an opportunity to break through to the middle stage of Jindan!”
After reaching the Jindan stage, if the spiritual root aptitude is not high enough and the quality of the golden elixir is not good, often even hundreds of years of hard practice may not be able to advance to the middle stage of Jindan.
Fang Yuan and Han Ce in the past belonged to this category of people. After years of hard training, they were still stuck in the early stages of Jindan.
Now Xiao Changqing has turned a disaster into a blessing and entered the middle stage of the Golden Core. His status in the sect will be different in the future!
An elder in the early stage of Jindan can only be considered an ordinary elder.
And those who are in the middle stage of Jindan can be considered as elders with real power, high status and high ranking.
“Good luck, good luck…”
Xiao Changqing said modestly with a smile.
“There is no such thing as luck when it comes to cultivation. It’s all the result of years of accumulation!” Han Ce looked envious, and then said, “Brother Fang, come with me to see Elder Li now. She has been looking forward to your coming for a long time, and she has a task to assign to you…”
Xiao Changqing didn’t intend to come here to fish, so he immediately said, “Okay. But these disciples I brought with me…”
Han Ce took a look and said, “It’s okay. They will all have specific job assignments, and there will be a person in charge here to help them coordinate.”
Xiao Changqing pointed at the disciple Hu Li behind him and said, “This is my only remaining disciple. I want her to follow me on the mission. Is that okay?”
“Brother Fang, your disciple… Of course there is no problem.” Han Ce nodded, “Brother Fang, your mission is heavy, and you can’t guard it alone. You will also need a lot of Foundation Establishment Realm and Fake Pill helpers. I will ask the person in charge to pay attention to the deployment.”
After making some simple arrangements, Xiao Changqing followed Han Ce to the center of Blood Crystal Island, under a towering ancient tree, and met Elder Li Yuanli.
Elder Li looks to be in his early thirties. He is not eternally young, but he doesn’t look old at all. He is also very good-looking and can be said to still have some charm.
After all, this elder, who has reached the late Jindan stage, is no more than two hundred years old and still has hope of forming a baby in the future.
“Meet Elder Li.”
Xiao Changqing and Han Ce both bowed slightly.
They are both elders, but their status is very different.
Just like there will be different treatments between the early stage of Jindan and the middle stage of Jindan.
As for Elder Li, who is in the late Jindan stage and whose combat power is ranked among the best in Dongji Province, his status is far different from that of ordinary elders.
“A newly promoted middle-stage Jindan elder?”
Li Yuan glanced at Xiao Changqing and frowned slightly.
She could see that Xiao Changqing had reached the middle stage of the Jindan period, but she also saw that Xiao Changqing’s magic power was not strong enough, and it was obvious that he had just broken through to the middle stage of the Jindan period.
A person who has just been promoted to the middle stage of Jindan may not be able to complete her arrangements well.
“Whatever…it’s better than nothing.”
Li Yuan shook her head.
The sect’s situation is so critical now that it is already very good to be able to send an elder in the middle stage of the Jindan stage to support her.
She can’t be picky anymore. (End of this chapter)
