Xuanyou Continent, Yinling Temple.
Dong Tianze's return and his achievement in the middle stage of the Concentrated Spirit Realm made the leader Han Zhiyuan overjoyed.
"I am only in the late stage of Concentrated Mind Realm, and I am still one step away from being promoted to Soul Wandering. And you..."
In the cave, Han Zhiyuan, who was as thin as a stick, rubbed his hands excitedly, and then said with a worried look on his face: "Boy, are you willing to continue staying in the temple?"
Dong Tianze was confused, "Master, what do you mean?"
"Among the many Heavenly Phoenix Guards, you should be the most outstanding one. You can now leave the Yinling Temple and try to communicate with that person to see if you can arrange a place for him there."
"For example, seeking a guest position in a sectarian force in the second or first realm?"
Han Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and sighed, "The Yinling Temple, the gate is a little small for you now."
"besides… "
After thinking for a while, Han Zhiyuan said, "The Third World War is about to break out. The alien races will launch a strong attack on this world along with the infiltration of filthy alien forces. You are a good candidate for cultivation, and you have the support of a big shot behind you. There is no need for you to stay in the temple and fight with those lowly alien races in the lower world."
"For the time being, I still want to stay in the temple." Dong Tianze said.
"The situation down there is volatile and I don't know what will happen. I'm afraid I can't protect you." Han Zhiyuan said truthfully, "The big shots of the First Realm, as the ships are sinking one after another, I can only obey their orders. If you stay, you will also have to accept the arrangements. I'm worried that you won't be able to adapt."
Dong Tianze nodded: "I understand."
After a pause, he asked, "Master, does the sect have any secret techniques to temper the body?"
Han Zhiyuan was stunned and said, "We in the Yinling Temple have never paid much attention to this kind of training. The art of tempering the flesh and blood body is what Blood Moon is good at. Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
"Blood moon?"
Dong Tianze's eyebrows twitched. He had heard some sayings that the Blood Moon and the Yinling Temple had the same origin, so he thought to himself: "The Blood Moon's body refining technique must be the most suitable method for me."
"Master!"
Outside the cave, Liu Yan came over to greet him and said, "Someone asked you and Junior Brother Dong to go see him together. He is in the temple!"
"Who is it?"
Han Zhiyuan's face changed, knowing that an important person must be coming.
Liu Yan said in awe: "Haotian Divine Kingdom, Armor Breaker Li Wei!"
Dong Tianze frowned slightly.
"you?"
Han Zhiyuan looked serious and asked, "Is his coming here related to you?"
"I heard that his son Li Yuanchen also went to the forbidden land of Juetian, but got lost in the depths of the strange fog. People in the desolate land have mentioned him." Dong Tianze said calmly.
"Is everything all right?"
"without."
Dong Tianze shook his head.
"Well, I'll take you to see him."
A moment later, in the reception hall of the Yinling Temple.
The handsome and graceful Li Wei, the Armor-breaking Marquis, squinted his eyes, drank the fragrant tea, and listened to Dong Tianze's speech.
"My son, you and the Armor Breaker are lost in the strange fog. Is it possible that you are in great danger?"
Li Wei put down his teacup, his handsome face full of sighs, and said sadly: "According to what you said, those people in the Desolate Land have encountered the Armor Breaker in the Weird Mist?"
"Well, the Armor-Breaking is empty." Dong Tianze said with his head down.
"Wu Yuan from the Demon Sect said the same thing. Qi Qingsong from the Sword Tower and Zhuang Yuyan also said the same thing."
Li Wei nodded, stared at Dong Tianze's brows and said, "A Phoenix Guard, not bad."
He immediately stood up and left.
Dong Tianze looked normal.
He knew that this day would come, so when the Ice and Thunder Shattered Land drifted in the strange fog and gradually approached Purgatory, he persuaded Qi Qingsong and Zhou Qingchen to eliminate everyone including Fang Boxuan.
Otherwise, after seeing Pang Jian capture Li Yuanchen and using the soul-searching technique to kill Li Yuanchen, Fang Boxuan, who was no longer on the same side as them, might betray them.
If this were to happen, those who escaped the strange fog alive would soon suffer the wrath of the Armor-Breaking Marquis.
Li Chu in the desolate land will never give up.
…
The same incident happened repeatedly to Wu Yuan of the Demon Sect, and Zhou Qingchen and Zhao Yuanqi of Hongshan.
Li Chu from the Desolate Land went to the Demon Sect in person to ask Wu Yuan about the whereabouts of Fu Wangchen.
It was learned that Fu Wangchen and others were swallowed by an eighth-level ice-armored eel dragon in the forbidden area of Juetian, and died tragically in the mouth of the ice-armored eel dragon.
Zhou Qingchen was also questioned by people from Tianshuize and Heigu. The information they got was consistent with what Wu Yuan, Dong Tianze, Zhuang Yuyan and Qi Qingsong said.
The few people who returned from the strange fog had already made a great contribution because they brought back news that the alien gods from the outside world would kill the true gods of the human race in the outer galaxy.
Considering their statements, there seemed to be nothing wrong with each of them, so the parties did not pursue the matter further.
…
The rock breaks the earth.
Pang Jian, who had achieved great perfection in the "Essence and Blood Realm", tempered his soul step by step with the mind-concentrating techniques recorded in the "Hutian Yangqi Jue".
But he soon discovered that the technique of tempering the mind in the concentrated state recorded in "Hutian Yangqi Jue" did not benefit his soul.
His newly formed golden soul could withstand wind and sun, and could even leave the body directly.
"Hutian Yangqi Jue" is a simple soul-refining technique with a few easy-to-understand steps, but it has no particular effect.
"Afterwards, you can either comprehend the Thunder Pond Dao Seal or go to the Sword Tower to seek the complete secret book."
During this period, the eight leaves of life in his heart were endowed with many wonders by the Erosion Vine.
Deep in the cloud wilderness.
“Wow!”
Using the innate secret of the eight leaves of life, he did not expand the perception of his soul, and all the trees, flowers and plants within dozens of miles became his eyes.
He can use leaves, branches and weeds to see the scenes in an area.
He had a great advantage when fighting in the densely vegetated forest.
In addition, even if there were no Erosion Vine to fill the Leaves of Life with power, he could extract plant essences from flowers, plants and trees in the forest and inject them into the Leaves of Life to heal himself.
Back then, when he was in the strange fog, he could not communicate with the Erosion Vine. When his life force was exhausted, if he had this ability, he could replenish his strength through the forbidden forest of the sky.
"It's a pity that we're a little late."
Pang Jian sighed softly.
According to the Erosion Vine, with its next transformation, Pang Jian will be able to use the Leaves of Life to directly control the trees, flowers and plants in the forest like it does.
Just like a real member of the Wood Tribe.
A few days later.
Pang Jian, who was exhausted and gained very little every time he used his soul to comprehend the Thunder Pool Dao Seal, decided to go to the Sword Tower first to seek the spells behind "Great Fortune Holy Body" and "Hutian Yangqi Jue".
He floated from the rocky rubble under the sea of clouds to the sea of meteorites, and randomly found a piece of empty rubble to settle down.
"Pang Jian!"
Someone suddenly came looking over, screaming.
Pang Jian, who was about to take out the sword order to send a message, frowned and looked at the strange cultivator who came over, and said, "Have we met before?"
There were no wandering cultivators near the rubble he chose, and the man was very far away from him, so he didn't pay much attention to him. Unexpectedly, he was recognized instantly.
"You are of high status now, noble people tend to forget things."
The man who came was grinning and kept adjusting his body shape and face, and soon he looked like a rat.
"Huang Qi!"
Only then did Pang Jian come to his senses.
"It's been many years since we last met in Yuanmang Shattered Land. You first became a disciple of the Sword Tower, and later became the master's personal disciple." Huang Qi was filled with emotion and said, "As for me, I am still a small casual cultivator without the support of a sect."
"The Third Realm is now about to become a bloody battlefield between the superiors and the alien races. I can't stand the arrogant attitude of those big shots, so I just hide here and don't show up."
"Tsk tsk, they thought that by taking out some high-level pills and spiritual weapons, they could command everyone to charge into battle for them."
"I don't buy that."
Huang Qi came over.
Staring at Pang Jian, his face slightly changed, and he said, "I heard that you also went to Weird Mist, and I also heard that you have been dead for more than two years. Well, a few days ago I heard that you guys came out alive again."
"What's going on?"
"Fu Wangchen from the Desolate Realm, Li Wei, the son of the Armor-Breaking Marquis, and Lu Lingchan from the Black Valley, all those peerless geniuses from the first and second realms, how come they all died in there?"
Huang Qi was full of doubts.
Pang Jian asked curiously, "What did others say?"
"It is said that Li Yuanchen got lost in the strange fog and died. Lu Lingchan and the people from the Black Valley became living dead and eventually turned into ashes. Fu Wangchen, Chen Lushi from the Demon Sect, and Jiang Chao from Tianshuize were swallowed and killed by an eighth-level ice-armored eel dragon."
Huang Qi was very well-informed and told Pang Jian all the information he had learned.
Pang Jian was surprised.
He was a little worried before, but he didn't expect that even Wu Yuan from the Demon Sect would say the same thing as Qi Qingsong and the others, concealing all the things that were unfavorable to him.
"Boy, what realm are you at now?" Huang Qi asked.
"Just concentrating."
"Concentrate? You can concentrate so quickly? I still remember that when I first met you at Yuanmang's trading field, you were only at the late Xiantian realm!"
Huang Qi was shocked and sighed: "No wonder the owner of the Sword Tower accepted you as his personal disciple. Comparing yourself with others is really frustrating."
The two chatted.
Through him, Pang Jian learned that the various forces from the first realm have taken root in the two continents of Qiantian and Xuanyou.
The five major forces, namely, Lieyang Sect, Hongshan Sect, Blood Moon Sect, Xinghe League and Yinling Temple, are all controlled by people from above.
There are also some more special fragmented lands that have been taken over by powerful people from all sides, and they are already building killing arrays.
The people who came from above brought a lot of high-level spiritual pills and holy treasures, which were prepared to be used to reward those people and sects who killed more aliens.
As long as the independent cultivators have made contributions, they will be rewarded with tools and pills, and given the status of guest officials of the sect.
Many independent cultivators who wanted to obtain a formal identity, such as Dongye Sanren, Lian Feng, Lei Kun and others, took the initiative to surrender, hoping to take the opportunity to climb up the ladder.
There were also some independent cultivators who were worried about becoming cannon fodder and were unwilling to accept deployment, so they went to deserted places to survive.
"Hey, I was hanging out in the Second Realm before, and this time I went down to the lower realm to seek revenge on Cao Mang. Just when I was planning to go back, I ran into this incident." Huang Qi said with a sad face, "In the past, the ships that were willing to carry us in and out of the Second and Third Realms have ignored us now. There is no way to go up."
"I'll take you upstairs." Pang Jian said.
