"If I were a casual cultivator, I would have definitely fled as soon as I had the chance."
Listening to the deep helplessness in Zhuo Lingfeng's calm words, Li Yan thought in his heart.
"Brother Zhuo is really brave. With your original cultivation level, you actually dared to enter such a dangerous place!"
A strange light flashed in Li Yan's eyes, and a bitter smile appeared on Zhuo Lingfeng's face.
“With my original strength, my combat capability among peers was only average. I had no magic weapons or elixirs. I would almost certainly die if I went there. Maybe I could have a chance of survival!
However... I still underestimated the danger of the 'Land of Sunset'. I was hit by an unknown strong light after only entering for half a day.
Although I had put the best defensive talismans outside my body before entering, they were instantly reduced to ashes, and my body was almost completely broken apart by the blow, and I lost consciousness at that moment..."
After Zhuo Lingfeng said this, he paused and his face twitched slightly, which showed that he still didn't want to remember that incident.
Li Yan stopped talking and just listened quietly.
"When I woke up again, I found myself lying on a flying magic weapon and had arrived at a sea without spiritual energy. Later I learned that it was the legendary North Sea.
The person who saved me was my future master, the great monk Kūkai, one of the guardian monks of Shamen Temple in Fengshen Continent.
He was traveling and passing by the Desolate Moon Continent. After hearing about the several dangerous places in the Desolate Moon Continent, he wanted to explore it. He happened to see me dying in the "Land of Sunset" and saved me.
But at that time the demons were invading, and after the monk Konghai came out, he did not want to get involved. At the same time, he was anxious to report the appearance of the demons back to the Fengshen Continent.
My injuries at the time were such that I couldn't wake up in a short period of time. If he let me go, it would be like all his previous rescues were in vain.
The monk Kūkai didn't have time to stay and heal my injuries, so he simply kept me with him.
When he saw me wake up, he told me about how he saved me. At that time, I just wanted to go back. Even if I was in my best condition, I couldn't survive in the North Sea.
What's more, when I heard that he was going back to Fengshen Continent, I even had the idea of leaving with him.
So, after traveling through the turbulent space for a long time, I arrived at the Fengshen Continent!"
Having said that, Zhuo Lingfeng sighed softly.
In this sigh, Li Yan seemed to hear a feeling of farewell to the old days.
"Then why did you enter the Samana Monastery again?"
Li Yan felt that if Zhuo Lingfeng was just looking for a solid backer, he could go to other large sects on Fengshen Continent. Why did he have to become a monk
Could it be that the great monk Kūkai cleansed Zhuo Lingfeng's mind along the way
“Entering the Shamen Temple, this is my destination too!
Wind beasts are rampant in the Wind God Continent. With an identity like mine that is unknown, it is of course no problem for me to enter some small sects. However, if I want to enter a large sect with an unknown identity and with skills, it is undoubtedly as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Once you enter a small sect, if you fail to form a pill within one day, you will basically end up as a vanguard and will often be sent to some dangerous places to clear out wind beasts.
Given my lack of knowledge about wind beasts at the time and my limited strength, entering a small sect would be tantamount to suicide.
But if I were asked to continue being a casual cultivator, I really wouldn’t want to do that. The limited cultivation resources would only allow me to stop at the foundation-building stage.
In addition, Fellow Daoist Li knows everything about my affairs. Wuding has already returned to the clan, and I have put my last concerns aside.
I had long been disillusioned with worldly affairs, so when I met the great monk Kūkai, I had already had the idea of becoming a monk. On the way, I begged the great monk Kūkai to accept me as his outer disciple.
What I didn’t expect was that the monk Kong Hai actually accepted me as a nominal disciple. After I succeeded in forming the elixir, I officially became his disciple.”
Zhuo Lingfeng did not hide his experience and told Li Yan almost everything.
"My fellow Taoist has been wandering for half his life, and his journey has been rough. He was able to meet a divine monk between life and death, and was favored by the divine monk and entered Buddhism. This is actually your immortal fate. But Senior Brother Wuyi is still struggling to break through in the false infant realm!"
Li Yan smiled slightly.
When Li Yan met Zhuo Lingfeng, he was still a foundation-building cultivator with no resources for cultivation. Li Wuyi had already formed a pill at that time, but now Zhuo Lingfeng has formed an infant ahead of time. It can be said that no one can predict the path to immortality.
Zhuo Lingfeng was trapped by love in the first half of his life, but once he let it go, and with the support of the Shamen Temple's skills and elixirs, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.
"Hehehe... Fellow Daoist Wu Yi is smart. It is only a matter of time before he forms a fetus. I don't think he will stop at the Golden Core stage. Fellow Daoist, aren't you also blessed with a good fate as an immortal?"
Zhuo Lingfeng's eyes swept over Li Yan, and Li Yan was speechless when he saw that he was talking about himself again.
"Fellow Daoist Zhuo also said before that he had something to ask you. Are you asking about Hu Chen Wuding?"
"Amitabha, I shouldn't have asked about this. Everything is caused by fate. When the fate arises, it will cease. The fate between him and me has ended. If I have this thought again, it is already a thought of anger!"
Zhuo Lingfeng clasped his hands together, his face showing guilt.
"You don't have to be too rigid, don't Buddhists say that everything is up to fate?"
"Good, good, thank you for your guidance, I was just confused!"
Li Yan waved at him.
“Hu Chen Wu Ding has now successfully formed a golden elixir. We met several decades ago, when he was already in the middle stage of the golden elixir. I think his cultivation will only be more advanced now.
He has taken control of the entire Hu Chen family, and has been looking for you everywhere..."
Afterwards, Li Yan briefly recounted the details of his meeting with Hu Chen Wuding. After he finished telling all this, Li Yan paused.
"With your current strength, you can already cross the border to look for him, why haven't you returned yet
The whereabouts of that Hu Chen Patriarch have long been unknown, and no one knows whether he has ascended to heaven or died on the way to ascension!"
Li Yan pondered for a moment and asked a question on behalf of Hu Chen Wuding.
"Amitabha, my relationship with Wu Ding has ended. Hearing news about him from Mr. Li has made me lose my last bit of anger. Thank you, Mr. Li!"
When Zhuo Lingfeng said this, he stood on the side of the table, clasped his hands together and bowed slightly towards Li Yan.
Li Yan noticed that this time Zhuo Lingfeng called him "donor" instead of "fellow Taoist". He already understood that Zhuo Lingfeng was telling him that from now on, he had completely severed his ties with the Hu Chen family.
He just listened to it. If he could meet Hu Chen Wuding in the future, he could tell him about Zhuo Lingfeng's situation. However, whether he could come to Fengshen Continent was his own business.
"Please forgive my rudeness, but why did Fellow Daoist Li come to the Wind God Continent this time?"
Zhuo Lingfeng was always confused and felt very strange about seeing Li Yan here.
"Oh, I have a fellow disciple who is from the Tianli tribe. This time we are going to the Tianli tribe to look for her."
Li Yan answered briefly, but he did not explain Gong Chenying's identity.
"So that's how it is. The Tianli tribe is quite far away from here, and it is a big tribe in this world! It seems that fellow Daoist Li went to help your fellow disciples!!" Zhuo Lingfeng seemed to be thinking about something after hearing this, and spoke slowly. But as soon as he said this, he saw Li Yan frowning.
Zhuo Lingfeng immediately noticed the change in Li Yan's expression and became confused.
"What's wrong, Fellow Daoist Li?"
"From what Fellow Daoist Zhuo said, could it be that something happened to the Tianli tribe?"
Li Yan picked up the tea, but did not drink it. He just gently turned the teacup in his hands.
"Oh? Could it be that Fellow Daoist Li didn't come to help and didn't know what happened to the Li people today?"
Li Yan's face remained calm.
"I hope Brother Zhuo can give me some advice!"
“You are too polite, Fellow Daoist Li. It is only because of your words that I remembered what happened to the Tianli tribe in recent years.
Fellow Daoist Li must have known that wind beasts were wreaking havoc on the Wind God Continent, so wind beasts had always been seen where the Tianli tribe was.
The Tianli tribe is the original inhabitants of the Wind God Continent, so they have occupied a place with rich cultivation resources and dangerous terrain since ancient times. There are three tribes of wind beasts around them, but they can only form a semi-surrounded area.
The other directions are all blocked by endless natural dangers. Even with those natural dangers, the ancestors of the Tianli tribe were still worried. Based on the different characteristics of the natural dangers, they set up layers of dangerous restrictions from generation to generation.
In fact, the different species of wind beasts are as hostile to each other as water and fire. They are brutal and bloodthirsty by nature, and in the past they would never join forces with each other.
In a place like the Tianli tribe, which is valued by several tribes of wind beasts for its rich cultivation resources, the three tribes of wind beasts will only attack the Tianli tribe in turns. Whichever tribe captures the area in the end will own it.
Otherwise, they would start fighting each other and drive away or kill all other wind beast races.
However, the strength of these three tribes is not too different. To kill one thousand enemies would mean losing eight hundred of their own, so they have always been on guard against each other.
But for some reason, starting from more than ten years ago, the Tianli tribe was suddenly attacked by the three tribes of wind beasts. Even though the Tianli tribe was powerful, such a situation had never happened before.
They only had the ability to fight against two tribes of wind beasts at the same time. When the three tribes joined forces, the Tianli tribe was immediately at a disadvantage.
Moreover, the attack methods of the three tribes of wind beasts are completely different from before. They are completely suicidal attacks with the aim of destroying both parties, without caring about casualties.
From more than ten years ago to now, this brutal battle has never stopped for a single day.
As a result, both sides suffered heavy casualties. Although the wind beasts were on the attacking side and suffered more deaths, they still continued to fight, and the Tianli tribe no longer had the time to rest and recuperate as before.
Today, 30% of the Li people’s village has been lost, and they feel like a spent force!
The same is true for the wind beasts, but the other side is a combination of wind beasts from three tribes, so the combined number still exceeds that of the Tianli tribe, and they still have attack power. "
When Li Yan heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and his change in expression fell into Zhuo Lingfeng's eyes.
"Amitabha, since Fellow Daoist Li can come alone to visit that fellow disciple, I think his cultivation level will not be too low, so there is no need to worry too much."
Zhuo Lingfeng said something to comfort her, but he actually had other thoughts in his mind, but he didn't say them out loud.
There were quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators in the Tianli tribe, but they were all killed by the wind beasts and lost a small half of their village. After all, Li Yan was alone, and although he could be of some help with his cultivation level, the role he played would probably be limited.
So if Li Yan's fellow disciple was okay, Li Yan should find a way to take him away instead of helping the entire Tianli tribe.
But he couldn't say this out loud. First, his relationship with Li Yan wasn't that deep. Second, the Tianli people had a strong sense of ethnicity, and he couldn't ask a member of the tribe to leave.
"Fellow Daoist Zhuo, do you know if there are any Divine Transformation cultivators among the Tianli people today?"
Li Yan had also asked Wei Chongran about this matter, and Wei Chongran told him at that time that it was no longer there.
The reason was that about a few hundred years ago, a fifth-order wind beast was born in the "Wind Iron Beast" tribe, which made the Tianli tribe's high priest feel bad.
The "Wind Goose Tribe" among the three tribes of wind beasts that originally surrounded them already had a fifth-level wind beast. The high priest and the other party were intimidating each other and would not act rashly.
But suddenly the strength of the "Wind Iron Beast" tribe increased greatly. This time, she was not sure she could deal with two wind beasts of the same level at the same time.
But the high priestess of the Tianli tribe was also a ruthless person. She actually wanted to take advantage of the fact that the fifth-level wind beast of the "Wind Iron Beast" tribe had not yet stabilized its cultivation and seize the opportunity to severely damage her opponent.
But somehow the news leaked out, and when she sneaked into the "Wind Iron Beast" tribe, what was waiting for her was a trap set by two fifth-level wind beasts.
The fifth-level wind beast "Wind Goose Beast" actually teamed up with the other party! !
Just as the two fifth-level wind beasts were looking at the Tianli tribe's high priest who had been exposed with mockery, they discovered that the other party was actually smiling.
This made the two wind beasts feel uneasy, but before they could react, the Tianli tribe's high priest attacked instantly and punched them each at the same time.
Wherever the high priest's fist passed, the entire space collapsed instantly. That was the supreme power of the seventh level of Qiongqi's Prison Training Technique, and it was also the high priest's full-strength attack.
"I knew you would come, let's go together!"
The high priest's words, spoken with a smile on his face, frightened the two monsters so much that they let out sharp roars at the same time.
"No!"
They instantly understood the plan of the Tianli tribe's high priest. It was not that they had received news of the other party's sneak attack, but that this was a trap set by the other party.
Instead, the other party wanted to take advantage of the fact that the three people gathered together, and the high priest would launch a desperate and all-out attack with the power of a divine cultivator.
There are only two results:
The two fifth-order wind beasts could either take on each other's attacks head-on, or the three of them would be instantly repelled by the rules of the world of Wind God Continent, and it was unknown where they would be teleported to.
The most terrifying thing is that they will be attacked by the rules of the lower world, because their cultivation level does not allow them to appear in the lower world.
The power of that kind of attack is incomparable to the divine calamity. If one is not careful, it is possible to die on the spot.
But if the two demons did not take on the high priest's full-strength attack before the high priest was teleported away, the two demons' protective light shields would not be able to withstand the destructive power of the seventh level of Qiongqi's Purgatory Technique, and they would be beaten to death.
This was the plan of the Tianli tribe's high priestess, to exchange her life for the lives of two of the five demon beasts. As for where they would be teleported to, she no longer cared.
In addition, if the fifth-level "Wind Goose Beast" had not come here, she could really have severely damaged a wind beast that had just been promoted to the fifth level. After all, the other party's understanding of the rules of heaven and earth cannot be mastered in a short period of time.
This is the entire chain of strategies of the high priest, one link after another, interconnected, and flawless!
