Li Yan had been paying attention to several people from beginning to end. After swallowing the pills thrown by Gan Shi, the aura of those Qi Condensation disciples began to increase.
"This is the immortal elixir. It is just an elixir of decent grade, but it has such an effect. Cultivating immortality, an immortal!"
Li Yan looked at them and suddenly felt helpless. He thought of his third brother and his parents at home.
"My third brother's ankle was injured by a farm tool, and he became disabled for life. If he had a pill, even a low-level healing pill, he would be able to walk as fast as a flying bird. My parents have been working hard for many years and have many hidden diseases in their bodies. With just a low-level pill, they can be as healthy as they were in their prime."
Li Yan's heart was in turmoil for a moment, and he was a little dazed.
"Junior Brother Li, let's go. We'll discuss it when we're ten miles away!"
A rough voice interrupted Li Yan's thoughts. He came back to his senses and smiled bitterly in his heart.
"Improve your cultivation as soon as possible. It's time to go back."
Looking at the few people whose aura had increased a lot, Li Yan did not restrain his thoughts. He nodded to Gan Shiyi and said no more. He still rushed forward alone.
These people seemed to be recovering, but they were not meditating to recuperate. They were just using their magic power to refine the medicine. Not only did they waste most of the medicinal power, but their own tendons and veins were also strongly impacted in an instant, and they needed some time to adapt.
Now, he still had to take on the task of clearing the way ahead. Fortunately, they were already close to seven miles away, and the remaining distance was not too long.
"Brother Rui, I heard that this uncle from Xiaozhu Peak seems to be only at the eighth level, but judging by his attack, he is no weaker than the tenth level of Qi Condensation."
As they moved forward, the four people at the back, including the two seriously injured ones, felt better after taking the elixir. This allowed the burly man from Laojun Peak and the petite girl from Sixiang Peak to free up a hand and occasionally assist in the attack. For a while, their forward speed was faster.
Looking at the dark-skinned boy in front of her, the petite girl asked the burly man in a low voice.
"Junior sister Dai, I only have some impression of this Senior Uncle from Xiaozhu Peak, but I am not too familiar with him. However, he defeated Senior Brother Lv Qiutong from my peak in the competition, which made people pay attention to him."
After being reminded by Zhu Gaotai, the burly man from Laojun Peak who was called "Senior Brother Rui" spoke as if recalling something.
"Oh, he is the one who defeated Master Du from Four Elephants Peak?"
The petite girl named Dai's face changed when she heard this, and she looked at Li Yan in front of her.
"His poison technique is very strange. I don't know if there really is the poison of spiritual consciousness that he talked about back then."
A faint voice came, it was Zhu Gaotai.
When several people heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked...
A quarter of an hour later, Li Yan was soaked all over. He and Gan and a dozen others finally arrived at a place ten miles away. There was a cliff in front of them. In the vast expanse of white snow, there stood a huge yellow ball.
Along the way, Gan Shi's strength was eye-catching. Even though he was seriously injured, he was still able to withstand most of the attacks after a little healing. Li Yan took an attack from the side and front, which made their progress much faster.
Li Yan's performance also surprised Gan Shi. Although it was only a small part of the attack, Li Yan actually withstood all the attacks from that direction by himself and did not let any attack fall behind him. His tight defense was amazing.
You know, even when there were enough disciples before, there would still be some loopholes occasionally under the joint defense of everyone. Of course, this may be related to the cooperation habits, but it still shows Li Yan's extraordinaryness.
"I heard that this person has only been practicing for about five years, but his magical power has already reached the tenth level of Qi Condensation. It's really amazing."
Gan Shi thought secretly in his heart.
"Brother Gan, you guys should heal your wounds first."
Li Yan glanced back and saw that although a huge black shadow was pressing down on him, it would still take at least a quarter of an hour to reach here. He had consumed a lot of mana on the previous journey, but now was not the time for him to rest.
Gan Shi glanced at Li Yan who was standing in front of him. What they really needed now was recovery. Without saying much, he took out a few porcelain bottles, looked at them one by one, and then took out eight pills and several kinds of medicinal liquids, and gave them to the four people behind him.
As for the eight people in the spirit storage bag, he didn't care about them. Those people had already used up almost all of their pills and were basically saved. Now was not the time to consider them.
Gan Shi also took out a few pills, swallowed them, and immediately sat cross-legged on the snow to meditate. There was still time, so he had to recover as much as possible.
Just as he sat down cross-legged, he heard Li Yan's voice.
"Brother, I'll be back soon."
As more than a dozen people in Gan were looking at them in astonishment, they saw Li Yan holding a blue diamond crystal in his hand. After a flash of green light, he disappeared without a trace.
Although Gan Shi already knew how Li Yan disappeared, this situation happening right before his eyes still made him feel unbelievable, and the people behind him looked even more confused.
"Okay, hurry up and recover!" Gan Shi said softly without looking back. The people behind him looked at each other, suppressed their doubts, and forced themselves to concentrate and recover.
Li Yan stood in the colorful space, looking at another white light band that was about to move in front of him. He did not stop but flew directly over.
"A white band of light. I didn't expect it to be another Ten-Step Courtyard. I just don't know how many teams of monks are inside. However, their speed is a bit slow. The band of light is only approaching now."
Li Yan's mind was racing, but he was already standing on the white light band. His consciousness quickly sank into the core of the diamond crystal. In his consciousness, the first nine doors were already pitch black, and the tenth door was slowly dimming and lighting up.
“It’s almost over.”
When Li Yan saw this, his spiritual sense locked onto the tenth semicircular arch. A green light flashed on his hand and he rushed towards the tenth door.
Inside the white light band channel, there is a sea of flowers. There is a small path that winds around among the flowers, but it seems that there is no way to reach the end of this sea of flowers.
The flowers are blooming in various shapes and colors, the fragrance of flowers fills the air in the breeze, a few white clouds are moving slowly in the blue sky, and birds are singing from time to time, flying quickly over the sea of flowers.
This is a place of beautiful scenery that people yearn for, but at this moment, on a path in the sea of flowers, there is a bloody storm.
Miao Zhengyi had a dark face and carried a huge sword box on his back. He was one of the most powerful sword-building cultivators outside the Ten-Step Courtyard. The sword box contained a total of 360 spiritual swords.
Once arranged into the Earthly Evil Sword Formation, it had unpredictable powers. At this moment, one hundred and seventy flying swords were transformed by him into a large sword rain, which kept flying in all directions, chopping down the surrounding sea of flowers into a mess.
Every time they were chopped down, the flowers turned into human faces, with expressions of fear, coldness, viciousness, and fear. The flowers that were chopped made a mixed sound of male and female voices, either screaming or growling.
Spikes and leaves shoot out from the branches from time to time, as if a layer of dense rain arrows rises in this space.
Looking at the disciples walking behind him with somewhat dazed expressions, Miao Zhengyi couldn't help but let out a long roar. Those disciples who were still somewhat dazed immediately became much more sober, and they all summoned their spiritual weapons and treasures again, shouting and killing in the surroundings.
He would let out this kind of long howl every ten or so breaths!
This level is very strange. In a boundless sea of flowers, not only must you be careful of every flower and grass on the roadside, you must also be careful of the fragrance of the flowers, which will make your eyelids heavy and drowsy.
Therefore, he had to rely on himself to force his way through this stage, which was really extremely difficult.
"I'm really unlucky this time. I didn't even encounter a single Taixuan Sect or Pure Land Sect team in the three levels, and it's getting harder and harder to pass them. What's going on?"
Miao Zhengyi was somewhat tired as he blocked the attacks from all directions, feeling anxious.
Ever since he entered the cycle of life and death, he had hoped to meet the other two sects so that he could carry out the agreed plan, but he never succeeded.
And from the third level, the difficulty of passing the levels became greater and greater, and the number of disciples who died began to increase significantly. Now there were only six people left behind him, and seven people had died in this level alone, which made him sad and angry.
"Wangliang Sect, Wuliang Sect, if I encounter you in this level of the sphere, I will kill you all. Even without the help of the other two sects, you will still die without a doubt."
Miao Zhengyi looked at the sea of flowers in front of him, where a corner of a yellow sphere had already appeared, and thought hatefully in his heart.
A few hundred feet in front of it, a figure flashed in front of a huge yellow sphere and disappeared in less than a breath.
At the same time, in the center of the Wheel of Life and Death, the old voice was muttering to itself.
"A group of people who are not from the Five Immortal Sect are still using the power of the five elements. The difficulty of passing the level will only get higher and higher. Hehe, you will face despair in the next and last level. But will this attract the attention of high-level monsters..."
In the colorful space, Li Yan quickly flew out from the white light band again.
"It turned out to be just a group of Ten-Step Academy monks. That sword cultivator is too terrifying. The moment he entered the light gate, he locked onto me. His spiritual sense is extremely sharp."
In the white light band, Miao Zhengyi suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed on a place next to the yellow sphere hundreds of feet away.
"It's definitely not an illusion. It seems like someone has appeared in front of us. Could it be some unknown thing added to this level?"
Thinking of this, Miao Zhengyi couldn't help but slow down. The people behind him also slowed down their pace and looked at Miao Zhengyi in front of them with some confusion.
But no one asked. They were all feeling drowsy and just wanted to rest immediately.
"There are still more than 200 feet left. You should be very careful. Something unexpected may happen."
Miao Zhengyi issued a reminder and mixed some magic power into his words, which boosted the spirits of the people behind him.
Next, it took the group nearly half a quarter of an hour to walk the distance of more than two hundred feet until they reached the huge yellow sphere, but the strange attack that Miao Zhengyi had imagined did not occur.
This made Miao Zhengyi feel confused and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel that something was wrong. He had absolute confidence in his own spiritual sense, which could control hundreds of flying swords. How sharp and keen it was! But he didn't know what was wrong.
