"You know, the path to ascension in the world of cultivation has long been cut off, and the immortals from the upper realms haven't appeared to guide us for a thousand years."
Qian Zhenzi sat cross-legged on the ground, and his face looked even older.
The people on Fubuki Island who were sitting where he was going to attack had originally lowered their heads obediently, but when they heard this, they all raised their heads in surprise.
Anyone who hears such news will find it hard to believe.
What cultivator's ultimate goal is not immortality? Who among those who practice Taoism doesn't want to ascend to heaven and become an immortal
Now their ancestors tell them that ascension is no longer possible
"The white jade was given to us by an immortal a thousand years ago. It is the only treasure that can connect us to the upper world."
The disciples below listened with bated breath.
"This white jade was originally a whole piece, but it was broken into pieces and scattered everywhere during the war between good and evil. If it can be found, the path to ascension in my cultivation world can be opened again!"
"One of the white jade fragments was stolen by the Xie family!"
Qian Lishen's eyes, which had been dazed, gradually regained their luster. He opened his lips and asked in a hoarse voice: "So the reason why the ancestor fought so hard for that piece of jade that day was not because..."
He paused, suppressed his bad guess, and continued: "Are you actually doing this for my plan to ascend to the sky on Fubuki Island?"
Qian Zhenzi nodded kindly, and then turned to the crowd with a serious face: "It's not just about Chuixue Island, this is for the future of the entire cultivation world! If someone with evil intentions uses it to do evil, our cultivation world will be in danger!"
"This is the secret of our Fubuki Island. It must not be passed on to anyone else. Remember! Remember!"
Some of the disciples who had complained about Qian Zhenzi's attack and injury had already lowered their heads in shame, and dared not have any doubts about the ancestor anymore.
At the same time, similar statements were also circulating in the Jiang family and the Yu family. In this matter, the three parties maintained the same tacit understanding and put the blame on the Xie family both internally and externally.
After all, Wen Yun had exposed the Xie family's crime of stealing other people's golden elixirs that day. This cruel method, which seemed like that of a demon cultivator, also made the righteous sects fear and resent the Xie family. Let us ask, who would not worry about the golden elixirs of their own geniuses being poached by others, and who would not worry about their own reputation as a genius being replaced by the Xie family's children
The Xie family became the source of all evil and the thieves who stole the opportunity for ascension in the entire cultivation world.
In just two days, the name "Xie Zei" spread throughout the entire cultivation world. They seemed to have become rats crossing the street, and everyone was shouting and beating them. The four major families in the cultivation world became three major families.
Several forces quickly swallowed up and divided up the Xie family's resources in Nanzhou, and generously gave a small portion to other small sects participating in the sword-fighting competition. As a result, all the righteous sects fell into a carnival. The only pity was that the Xie family's direct descendants fled too quickly, and many treasures were taken away by them.
Of course, the several Tribulation Crossing experts did not personally participate in such mundane affairs. After putting all the blame on the Xie family, they resumed their glorious and upright appearance.
At this moment on Fubuki Island, several major families have not left yet, and the sword-fighting competition has resumed after being suspended for two days. After all, this sword-fighting competition is related to the qualification to enter the Xuantian Secret Realm. If it is cancelled rashly, I am afraid that all the sects and schools will make a big fuss.
In Qian Zhenzi's villa, several people who had fought for Bai Yu sat together again. Although the atmosphere was still a little stalemate, when interests were at stake, the previous events could only be regarded as trivial matters.
Qian Zhenzi frowned: "Still can't find Wen Yun? What kind of method is this? How can someone disappear for no reason..."
The head of the Yu family pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "I heard that thousands of years ago, when the immortals from the upper realm came to our cultivation world, they could appear in any corner of the world in an instant, and even if they were in the South Continent, they could reach out and take the snow from the North Continent. Could it be that she encountered some kind of immortal fate?"
"What a joke! Your Yu family only knows how to study these old stories." The head of the Jiang family raised his knife and said in a muffled voice, "It's ridiculous! Everyone knows that the so-called immortals from the upper realm haven't appeared for thousands of years. No one knows whether they are true or not. What are you talking about? Why don't you say that Wen Yun is an immortal?"
The head of the Yu family had a cold face and didn't want to talk to this vulgar countryman.
It was Wan Dabao who came out with a smile to smooth things over: "Everyone, please stop arguing. Since we can't find Wen Yun's whereabouts, let's put it aside for now. The most urgent task is to transfer the Xie family's assets..."
"They are just some mundane things." Qian Zhenzi interrupted Wan Dabao and said in a serious tone: "We must find Wen Yun, not only for the white jade in her hand, but more importantly, to find the person who saved her!"
The head of the Yu family also had a complicated expression: "Although I didn't see it clearly, but I'm afraid that he is the only one in the world who can defeat the three of us by himself."
"He also holds a wooden sword."
Wan Dabao sat at the side and drank a sip of tea, then stopped smiling: "I told you that my Wan family's spies have already found out that the person is dead, why don't you believe me?"
Qian Zhenzi: "Fellow Daoist Wan has great connections, we trust you, but I'm afraid that only he can have that terrifying aura, so we must go to the Tenth Peak to find out for ourselves! If it is really Ye Shubai who came to rescue his little disciple, then we will capture his three older disciples and force him out!"
Wan Dabao was silent for a moment, then slowly regained his indifferent smile: "If that's the case, then I'll just go with you."
However, Qingliu Sword Sect was too far away from Chuixue Island. Although they had reached the peak of the Tribulation Realm, they had not been able to master the ability of the immortals from the upper realm to shrink the distance into a foot. Even if they had used all the means of controlling swords and talismans, it would take them three days to reach Qingliu Sword Sect.
The Tenth Peak was as shabby as ever. The fir trees on the south slope had been cut down sparsely, and the other trees on the north slope were not much better. The whole mountain looked desolate, as if it had been gnawed by a dog.
This doesn't look like a treasured land of immortals at all, but rather like a barren mountain at the entrance of a village.
Qian Zhenzi hesitated for a moment, then turned back to look at the Grand Elder Ouyang who was leading the way: "Did we take the wrong path?"
Grand Elder Ouyang was unhappy with these people coming to his house suddenly, but since it was about Ye Shubai, he could only suppress his anger: "I'm not old and confused."
Several people subconsciously went to check the original seal first. This seal formation was set up by Qian Zhenzi himself that day. Of course, he could see that the formation was not damaged at all.
However, just when they were about to capture Ye Shubai's three disciples, they were shocked to find...
The three people also disappeared like Wen Yun.
This was the first time Wen Yun felt so sleepy.
My eyelids kept sinking, and my whole body felt as if it was submerged in the bone-chilling sea water. It was cold, and cold all the time.
Although the magician has a long lifespan, his body is still weak. He does not have the strong body recovery ability like the monks. What's more, Xie Xun was determined to kill him that day, and the sword energy almost crushed her entire heart.
Wen Yun's vitality was gradually draining away along with the bloody hole in her heart. At this moment, her face was as pale as a piece of white paper, and her eyes looked increasingly dark and empty, without any focus at all.
She slowly opened her hand, revealing the overly dazzling golden elixir in her palm.
A small piece of broken jade was tightly attached to the back of the golden elixir, and the two were almost completely fused together.
Wen Yun started making this random teleportation scroll the moment he saw Xie Mi'an for the purpose of revenge.
She originally wanted to dig out the golden elixir and use the scroll to escape. Everything was planned perfectly. However, she never expected that Xie Mi'an did not rely on any family secret method to make her golden elixir, but used the jade infant fragments of Ye Shubai.
No wonder Xie Mi'an dared to pretend to be a genius in front of the world. If he had these two things, and won the qualification to enter the Xuantian Secret Realm in the sword-fighting meeting, his future achievements would be hard to estimate.
No wonder as soon as the golden elixir appeared, those old monsters tried to stop her from leaving like crazy. It turned out that all this was caused by Ye Shubai.
She was in so much pain that she could hardly speak, and could only use all her strength to hand the two items to Ye Shubai.
She certainly couldn't use the golden elixir, but Wen Yun was unwilling to leave it to Xie Mi'an since he couldn't use it. He didn't expect that after going around in circles, he could find the jade infant for him again.
Wen Yun found joy in the midst of suffering, and thought to himself that he was indeed a kind-hearted person.
It’s just that being a good person is so tiring, so tiring.
She has been busy for so long, practicing magic and sword skills, and she hasn't even had a good sleep. It's so pitiful.
Wen Yun's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally closed.
At this moment, Ye Shubai, who was holding her, called her sternly: "Wen Yun, open your eyes."
The tone of his voice really sounded like the time when he would come to wake her up every day before the rooster crowed.
She tried hard to open her eyes, but her vision gradually became blurred and her consciousness became hazy.
Faintly, she seemed to have returned to the courtyard on the tenth peak. The mountains and trees in front of her were all the familiar lush and green, and even the crisp scent in the air was exactly the same.
However, this time Wen Yun really couldn't move, and she couldn't get up to practice sword again.
Just then, she vaguely realized that she was put on the ground.
The man next to her whispered something to her, but she couldn't hear it clearly. She only vaguely saw him raising his sword at her.
It was a wooden sword she had made herself, carefully carved one cut at a time over several nights. It had an exquisite and unique streamlined shape. The blade was the light original color of the wood, and she had carved two five-petal plum blossoms on the hilt.
It was a beautiful wooden sword that she had made, and she remembered every detail of it.
But at this moment, the sword was pointed at her.
Sure enough, he still wanted to kill her.
She knew that he had known about her guess of Ye Shubai's identity, and now he wanted to kill her.
She pretended to be stupid and foolish all the way, and even showed her magic to keep him in suspense. She was afraid that this man would kill her to silence her. After all, his identity was so special, and she knew too much.
The worst thing is that she also left him with a soul mark that can only be removed by death, making it impossible for him to be free.
Wen Yun knew that the thing he had been afraid of had finally happened.
He really learned magic, and she was no longer valuable to him, so he might as well kill her and remove the soul mark. She no longer had the random teleportation scroll, so she really couldn't escape this time.
Wen Yun stared at him in despair. The only thing in her mind was that he wanted to kill her. She had no energy to think about anything else.
She suddenly felt extremely aggrieved.
It turns out that sharing life and death was a lie, and it turns out that protecting her all her life was also a lie.
Wen Yun was thinking about this in a daze, staring at Ye Shubai's sword. She thought that maybe she should have sharpened the sword a little sharper, so that when he killed her later, she would die faster and more easily.
Ye Shubai's tone was unusually gentle, as if he was coaxing her with something, and then he covered her eyes with his hands, just like the action he had taken that night when he cut out the fragments of the jade baby from the belly of Grand Elder Dongfang.
The faint fragrance of white plum lingered, and the next moment, a stinging pain arose from the dantian, and the fishy sweetness of blood overwhelmed all other smells.
Am I going to die
"No, you have to live."
Ye Shubai responded to her whisper in a calm tone, and then took the golden elixir and broken jade from her palm.
Without hesitation, he placed the two things into her dantian.
Xie Xun's attack contained the full power of the Nascent Soul Stage, which shattered her spiritual veins, flesh and blood. Now, the only way to save her life is to inject spiritual power into her body to repair the shattered spiritual veins and organs.
If Xie Mi'an could use the broken jade to fuse other people's golden elixirs, then she could certainly fuse her own golden elixir back.
Ye Shubai frowned and used light healing magic on her with a serious expression.
After the soft light, Ye Shubai felt a sense of fatigue rising, as if a little of his mental strength had been drained away.
However, he did not rest to recover, but looked at Wen Yun's wound seriously, and then continued to use healing magic on her.
once.
twice.
three times.
…
After countless times, the blood hole on her chest gradually stopped bleeding and healed, and the small cut on her dantian also began to slowly recover.
However, the injury to her spiritual vein could not be cured by low-level healing techniques. It had to be slowly nurtured and repaired by the spiritual energy in her body.
Because all his mental strength had been drained away, Ye Shubai's lips were almost colorless and his whole expression became dazed.
He barely used the wooden sword to support himself, and used his own spiritual power to guide the golden elixir in her body to circulate slowly, drawing a tiny bit of spiritual power and rushing towards the nearest broken spiritual vein...
Her flawless golden elixir and his jade infant that was half a step away from ascending to heaven.
These two stolen items could have saved Xie Mi'an's life.
Now that they have been returned to their original owners, why couldn't they save her life
so…
Wen Yun, you must live!
Wen Yun is waiting to die.
Every time she died, she would go to a new world, and she didn’t know which world she would go to this time.
The previous one was magic, the one before that was cultivation, so should I practice fighting spirit this time
In the hazy dream, she saw herself using Dou Qi to transform into a horse, causing the people around her to exclaim, "A Dou Zong strongman is so terrifying!"
Countless strong men prostrated themselves at her feet, excitedly kowtowed and shouted: "Venerable Wen Yun, your power is boundless!"
Among them was Ye Shubai, who had stabbed her with a sword in her previous life. This man shouted the most actively and loudest, and even held the wooden sword with a flattering smile and asked her to stab back.
As always, she maintained her aloof attitude in front of others, sitting on the fighting horse and looking down on the crowd, and then...
Then she was woken up.
"Wen Yun?"
She slowly opened her eyes and saw Ye Shubai, who had just been kneeling in front of her, handing a glass of water to her lips.
Although his attitude was not as respectful as before, he still knew how to serve her, so it was acceptable.
Wen Yun subconsciously opened her mouth and took a sip of the cool, sweet water. The rich spiritual energy contained in it made her so comfortable that she closed her eyes.
Sure enough, the feeling of spiritual energy entering the body is more comfortable than magic power...
etc.
Aura
How could she sense spiritual energy! And wasn't she killed by Ye Shubai
As her body recovered, Wen Yun's thinking ability, which had been caused by her weakness, gradually returned. In other words, her brain, which had been lost due to the previous injury, was gradually recovered.
Wen Yun immediately became aware of the presence of a golden elixir in her body. Under its effect, her body became lighter and more comfortable than ever before. The mountains, rivers, and trees in the distance became clearer, and she became more sensitive to all kinds of smells in the air.
This is the effect of spiritual power, which greatly strengthens the body.
Wen Yun hadn't spoken for a long time, and his voice was extremely dry: "My golden elixir is back?"
"Yeah." Ye Shubai lowered his eyes and stared at her, then continued to pass the glass of water over: "Drink it up."
Wen Yun was too lazy to take it, so he stretched his head over to continue enjoying his watering service. Suddenly, he thought of something: "Then your Jade Infant fragment is also in my body? You didn't use the sword to kill me before, but to place the golden elixir for me?"
It is not so easy to transplant the golden elixir. It usually disintegrates when it leaves the body. Even if her golden elixir is of flawless quality, it cannot withstand such a torment. If she wants to reintegrate it into the body, she can only rely on the power of white jade.
As expected, Ye Shubai bowed his head: "Yes."
After a moment, he frowned and raised his head, asking in return: "How could I kill you?"
Since the road to immortality was cut off, there is no longer any concept of Heavenly Dao in the world, so these cultivators are no longer afraid of being contaminated by cause and effect, and no longer cultivate their Taoism.
But Ye Shubai has his own principles in doing things. He once said that he would protect her all her life, so how could he go back on his word and kill her
Wen Yun knew that she had misunderstood Ye Shubai. She felt guilty and apologized immediately: "I'm sorry, I was confused at the time and saw you holding a sword towards me, and I misunderstood you. I was wrong about this."
"I'm sorry, Ye Shubai, you and I are friends for life and death, but I..."
As he was talking, Wen Yun saw Ye Shubai staring at him expressionlessly.
She realized belatedly...
Oh no, my brain is not fully awake yet and I actually called out his name.
Wen Yun laughed dryly: "I suddenly feel a little dizzy, I want to rest for a while, when I wake up we can discuss in detail how to take out your jade baby. This matter is quite complicated, why don't you look through the magic spells I gave you to see if you can find the answer..."
The embarrassing thing was that Ye Shubai had no intention of moving at all. He was totally different from how he had been excited when he heard about studying magic. Instead, he remained motionless, still staring at her calmly with his beautiful eyes.
Wen Yun had no choice but to admit defeat and explained in a low voice: "I did know your identity a long time ago, but you and I had just met at that time, and I was completely unable to beat you at that time. I was afraid that if I knew too much, you would kill me..."
Ye Shubai continued to stare at her. If he remembered correctly, he had originally planned to reveal his identity, so this must not be the entire reason why Wen Yun pretended to be stupid.
Her scalp went numb from being stared at. She covered her chest, frowned, and hissed, "I suddenly felt a great pain in my chest, as if the wound had opened again."
Ye Shubai said in a cold voice: "I have already used healing magic to heal your wounds."
"… "
Okay, you are good at both magic and martial arts, you are awesome.
Unable to change the subject, Wen Yun had to confess everything honestly: "Didn't my senior brothers list me as your apprentice? But I was once a local overlord, how could I really let a master suppress me as his ancestor? So I..."
"So you just pretended to be stupid and tricked me into becoming your sword spirit and treating me as your ancestor."
Ye Shu exposed her last little plan with an expressionless face.
Wen Yun tried to play dumb and cover up the matter, but Ye Shubai was extremely cold-blooded and ruthless.
"Since you already know about this, I, as your master, will be responsible for you. You don't need to take out the Jade Infant fragments in your body. I have my own solution."
Wen Yun looked up at him with a dazed expression, like a spore with innocent eyes.
She thought Ye Shubai would be angry because of her misunderstanding and deception, and would say, "Since I saved you, then we are done with each other and will go our separate ways from now on."
Because this is how a normal person would react.
However, he did not draw a line between them and part ways with her.
"but… "
Ye Shubai changed the subject. Wen Yun pursed her lips and quickly lowered her head to hold back the sadness in her eyes. When she looked up again, she pretended to be cold and arrogant when facing outsiders, looking as if she didn't care at all.
"Now that your golden elixir has returned to its original position, you need to practice swordsmanship diligently, starting from the morning hour tomorrow."
"… "
Wen Yun tried his best to maintain his cold and arrogant look: "How can you practice sword skills here without knowing where this is?"
The forbidden spell of time and space that she created in her previous life was very powerful. It was supposed to be able to travel directly through time and space. However, here she could only draw a simple random space teleportation array, so she had no idea where this forest was.
Maybe it was transmitted to another world.
Because she realized that there was not only spiritual energy and magic here, but also other unknown energy elements, which was completely different from the previous world.
Unexpectedly, Ye Shubai replied calmly: "I know where this is."
Wen Yun was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Where?"
"Xuantian Secret Realm."
Wen Yun was dumbfounded.
The entire demonic sect has invaded the continent time and again, and all the geniuses of the righteous sect have gathered in sword-fighting competitions, and the battles are even so tragic that "life and death are at your own risk". What is this for
It is precisely entering this legendary secret realm of Xuantian that was built by immortals and contains the method of ascension!
But Wen Yun suddenly thought of something: "Isn't it said that only cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage can enter the Xuantian Secret Realm? It is said that being too strong will cause the secret realm to collapse and then be strangled?"
“In fact, it won’t collapse. People with higher strength won’t die if they enter.” Ye Shubai explained the truth: “They will just be suppressed by the secret realm below the Nascent Soul stage.”
Wen Yun turned his head, his eyes burning: "So you are only at the Golden Core level now?"
Without waiting for Ye Shubai to speak, she picked up a branch at her feet and said, "Let's compare!"
Wen Yun still remembered how she was badly beaten by Ye Shubai's illusion in the Thousand Array Tower that day, and she only managed to get through it with the guidance of his real body. Now his realm has been sealed, and she has returned to her golden elixir and is practicing both magic and martial arts, so she is ready to fight back and try.
However, half a lamp later, Wen Yun was knocked down by Ye Shubai's sword, and he was really knocked down completely.
"You're lying! This isn't the Golden Core Stage!"
Ye Shubai was helpless: "I didn't say I'm in the Golden Core Stage now."
Wen Yun stood up and frowned, "But you said that those who enter the secret realm will have their cultivation sealed below the Nascent Soul stage."
The man standing in front of her was silent for a long time, with some confusion in his eyes.
"I don't know why, and..."
"and?"
Ye Shubai pursed his lips and said in shock: "Xuantian Secret Realm seems to have mistaken me for an immortal."
