Jingyang Sect was one of the three great sects in Lang County, but in the last few decades, his luck had not been good. In the several great battles, his sect’s high order cultivatoad suffered severe losses, and afterwards, the sect was basically sealed off from the world, in order to avoid the disturbance in the cultivation world and wholeheartedly continue the sect’s legacy.
Because of this, the Jingyang Sect’s sphere of influence shrunk and shrank. Not only did it withdraw from the Huai Yu County, it also began to be devoured by the Xuanji Sect and the Zhuge family within the Lang Prefecture.
However, in these past few decades, not only did the situation of the Jingyang Sect not improve, it even worsened.
“Head senior brother …”
Zhong Fan interrupted his train of thoughts while deep in thought. He raised his head to take a look, and the corner of his mouth lifted in a subtle taunt: “Junior Brother Xun, what, are the people from Lin Canghai’s sect here again?”
All these years, Jingyang Sect’s situation was not good, but the strength of the Mystic Yuan Sect was growing even stronger, all the influence that the Jingyang Sect had over the years had landed in the hands of the Mystic Yuan Sect, while the Mystic Yuan Sect’s expansion did not stop, for the Jingyang Sect was already bearing the brunt of the impact, but the Mystic Yuan Sect bragged that he was the number one sect in the Yuzhou, and did not want to use excessive means to attract the enmity of the various sects in the Yuzhou, so he used such a method to persuade them to surrender.
Master Xun sighed and said: “Senior Brother, the situation is better than the others, today our sect is trapped in internal and external affairs, Mystic Yuan Sect has the Daoist Ancestor taking charge, and Master Lin Canghai is also quite sincere, I promise that as long as senior goes to the Profound Origin Mountain, you will find me as the vice sect leader. When the two sects clash, our sect will have endless inheritances, senior brother has great potential!”
Sage Zhong Fan sneered, “Side-by-side? I’m afraid it’s not a merger? ”
Daoist Master Xun was about to say something, but he heard the cold and piercing gaze of Daoist Master Zhong Fan as he coldly said, “You don’t have to say anymore, the sect’s legacy cannot be extinguished in my hands!”
“Junior doesn’t need to explain this to me. Senior knows his place, but Senior might be arrogant, but you have to think a bit more for your disciple. Jingyang Sect cannot end up in despair because of Senior Brother.”
With that, he turned around and walked away, ignoring Zhong Fuxian’s angry glare.
Zhong Fuxian looked at the back of Xun’s figure and tried to agitate his killing intent, but in the end he helplessly sighed. It was as if his entire spirit had been emptied out and he suddenly aged by a hundred years.
“Senior Xun!”
A voice stopped Xun from leaving the Jing Yang Palace.
The man paused for a second and said with a smile, “It’s junior Ou!”
“Senior brother, you went to see the Sect Leader again?”
Adept Ou’s tone was flat, and there was norace of ridicule in it.
The two of them walked towards the distant Jingyang Hall, Spiritual Master Xun sighed and said, “Nowadays, the entire sect is panicking, and the Sect Leader is someone who only knows how to give orders, in the entire sect, only I am a laborer. In these past two years, Junior has been out training and has advanced in my Gangli Accumulation Realm, so it can be considered the only good news for many years.
With a serious expression on his face, Taoist Ou said, “Senior Xun, honestly speaking, more than half of the disciples in the sect are already preparing to follow you, right?”
A smug look flashed across the man’s face as he spoke with a solemn expression, “Ai, this is a last resort. We’re just looking for a way out for the sect. You can’t just hang yourself from a tree, can you?”
Taoist Master Ou suddenly came close to Taoist Master Xun and said, “Senior Brother Xun, why don’t I find a way out for the sect?”
“Oh? What way out? ”
Daoist Master Xun turned his head in surprise as he saw Spiritual Master Ou’s eyes turn blood-red.
He opened his mouth to exclaim, but suddenly saw a big hand covering his mouth, followed by his cheeks that quickly contracted, as if something had been pulled out of his mouth. His eyes revealed a look of fear, but soon after, his eyeballs also showed the whites of his eyes. His clothes, which could not be considered as tall and sturdy, now looked even more bulky, as he reached out his hands to push open the palm Taoist Ou covered his mouth, only to find that his hands had already become skin and bones, and his skin was wrinkled and shriveled likree bark.
Spiritual Master Ou’s face was extremely rosy, his complexion was very healthy, and the color of blood in his eyes was gradually fading. His hands loosened, and the dried corpse in his hands fell to the ground in a mess.
Spiritual Master Ou tidied his clothes and looked at the Jing Yang Palace in the distance. Greed appeared in his eyes and he muttered to himself, “After I take care of you, I should be able to break through! Hmm, what kind of aura is this, could this Jingyang Sect be hiding some kind of secret? ”
Inside the Jingyang Hall, after Daoist Master Xun left, the previously sitting Daoist Master Zhong suddenly stood up. The cloud bed he sat on opened on its own, revealing a path downwards. A cold and gloomy aura rose up from the passage, and only now did he notice that the cloud bed was actually a piece of warm jade.
Daoist Master Zhong Fan circulated his Quintessential Essence and walked along the pathway towards Prince Jingyang’s underground palace. After a while, he entered the darkness.
The gurgling sound of water could be clearly heard in the darkness. A faint light gradually appeared in front of them, and they could see that the entire passageway was covered withick layer of ice.
At the end of the passageway, Daoist Zhong Fan looked at the green spring water with a complicated expression. He sighed and complained, “The grade of the techniques passed down in our sect is still too low. Otherwise, with Yin and Yang working together, this old man would have trained hard for almosundred years.
“Earth Yin Cold Spring? Jingyang Sect is actually hiding such a great treasure? ” A surprised voice was suddenly heard from behind him.
“Who is it?”
Daoist Master Zhong suddenly turned around, but all he saw waatch of darkness pouncing towards him …
Three days later, Demon Yunnan arrived. Boundless demonic energy engulfed the southwest of Lang Prefecture, causing the sky and earth to change color. Then, a black light fell from the sky onto Jingyang Sect, and the sounds of wild laughter rang incessantly.
At the same time, a large number of alien Demonic Cultivatoppeared within the Xi’an County, Huai Yu County, and Lang County. They began to gather towards the Jingyang Sect’s encampment on a large scale, slaughtering all mortals along the way.
Yang Junshan had entered and exited the dimensional realm multiple times, so he had thought that experiencing this kind of spatial transfer once again wouldn’t be much. However, the reality was that it was a long distance spatial transfer through the Heaven Escaping Formation, and the price he had to pay wasn’t as simple as entering and leaving the dimensional realm!
The unpredictable power of space easily disintegrated his protective qi barrier, and even the true essence in his body was restrained. He could only rely on his body to resist the pressure that came from all directions.
Fortunately, Yang Junshan’s physique was strong enough to completely ignore the pressure of the spatial energy. This allowed him to not feel any discomfort the instant he landed on the ground, but he quickly regained consciousness and looked around at his surroundings.
“Oh, there’s a new person coming!”
A lazy voice sounded.
Yang Junshan turned to look and saw a three foot tall child standing in front of him. The child was looking up at him.
Seeing that, Yang Junshan remained respectful, and said: “May I ask if you are the one who is receiving me, senior envoy?”
When the child heard this, his expression turned serious and said: “Oh, looks like you’re someone who understands. Then, have you already heard about the rules for entering the immortal palace?”
Yang Junshan said: “I have indeed heard some information from the two seniors, but the two seniors have also mentioned it before, if you have any doubts, you can ask them like a guide.”
As Yang Junshan said this, he took out a jade box, and upon opening it, there were only two scarlet red fruits.
The child’s eyes lit up when he saw the fruit: “Not bad, not bad. I’ve picked the fresh Scarlet Essence Fruit. It has been a long time since someone has given me this fruit to eat!”
The child seemed to be unable to wait any longer. As he spoke, he took a big bite on the Red Essence Fruit.
Yang Junshan laughed when he heard this: “If there is a chance, this junior will bring some fruits for Senior to taste.”
The child quickly nodded and smiled. “Not bad, not bad. For the sake of this good fruit, why don’t you ask me. Make it clear that you can ask me one thing with a fruit.”
Yang Junshan was overjoyed as he inwardly said to himself that the information he had obtained from Grandmaster Guan Tao was indeed not bad. He hurriedly said, “This is the first time this junior has come to request for a set of fire in the pill furnace. I wonder where I should start from.”
However, I, an old man, have taken a liking to you today. Go to the Heaven Arts Workshop, I’ve heard that a new batch of goods have arrived there, and the quality of the things there may not be the best, but they are all suitable. The key is that the price is still not high, and by the way, go there and pick things to remember not to pick out.
Yang Junshan bowed and thanked him. After thinking for a moment, he asked, “Junior wants to find a spirit technique called ‘Spirit Point Technique’. Does senior have any guidance for me?”
The child who was about to eat the second fruit stopped and looked at the little guy with a strange expression. “Humph, another question!”
Yang Junshan was slightly taken aback, but he did not dare ask for the reason. He first apologized, and said witeavy voice: “Junior is in the midst of collecting quality extremely good yin and yang energy, does Senior have any advice for me?”
The child gulped down the last half of the Red Essence Fruit. Then, he sucked his finger into his mouth and coughed, “One thousand crystal coins!”
Hearing that, Yang Junshan was happy, he immediately took out ten crystal bricks and gave it to the child.
The ten pieces of Crystal Brick were already gone from Yang Junshan’s hand. Then, he felt around his body and took out a crumpled cloth silk, saying: “Hey, just follow this piece of cloth at dusk, and remember to hide your identity. Also, there may not be anything there that you need, but it’s definitely the place where you have the most possibility of obtaining the required items.”
Yang Junshan took the cloth and saw the child impatiently wave his hand, he said: “Let’s go, let’s go, there are new people coming, two of them actually came today.”
Yang Junshan cupped his hands together as he turned around and walked outside. However, he felt spatial ripples coming from behind him, and then, a spatial gate opened up as a figure staggered out.
