Just when Ji Kuhai was split into two by the lightning whip, far away in the depths of the Mountain Langya Mountain Range, on a mountain peak shrouded in clouds, stood an ancient looking Taoist temple.

The monastery was built on the peak of a mountain and was surrounded by cliffs and crags. The surroundings were filled with pine trees and white fog. Occasionally, birds would fly by, creating a serene scene.

At this moment, within the quiet Daoist monastery, seven deep bells rang out.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The deep yet penetrating sound of the bell resonated throughout the entire temple. Soon after, a figure dressed in a daoist robe came out from the mountain like an ape, gathering in a small square made of limestone.

This square was built in the shape of Taiji Eight Trigrams. In the front was a square cauldron with three incense sticks lit up as thick as baby's arms.

In the midst of the faint green smoke, nearly a hundred people had already gathered in the plaza. Two-thirds of them were young and strong, with the rest being elderly people.

At this moment, everyone looked at each other in dismay as they gathered in the square and discussed in whispers.

"Hey, what's going on? Could something big have happened to my White Cloud Monastery? Why did it suddenly ring the cloud bell? "

"That's right, unless it's a life or death, or even if it's a ceremony for the previous Monastery Master to ascend to the throne, this Yun Zhong will only ring. Is my White Cloud Monastery going to be in a life or death crisis today?"

"Cloud Bell has sounded seven times consecutively, it's a death knell!" A middle-aged disciple with relatively old qualifications sighed and said, "I'm afraid that the elder has met with an accident."

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed. Before they could even speak, they saw an old man with a full head of white hair wearing an azure robe walking over. His white hair was held up by a long jade hairpin.

Upon seeing the old man, everyone revealed a respectful expression and bowed simultaneously to greet him.

"Monastery leader!"

Obviously, this person was the legendary old temple owner of White Cloud Monastery, Dao Qingyi!

The elder's face was calm, but a hint of grief could be seen within his eyes. He nodded to everyone and said, "Take a seat!"

Everyone looked even more confused, but they still sat cross-legged on the green stone floor.

Dao Qingyi swept a glance across everyone, the grief in his eyes became even stronger, and he said: "I believe everyone should be able to guess the reason behind gathering everyone here."

"That's right, the seven tolls of the death knell represents the death of an important elder in my White Cloud Monastery! Just now, I found out that Junior Brother Ji, who is also known as Clan Elder Ji Kuhai's Life Tablet has shattered! "

Everyone looked at each other, and continued to listen to Dao Qingyi's story.

"Junior Brother Ji has extraordinary strength, he is a half-step into the Divine Feathers Realm. In the next few years, he is expected to become the strongest person in the entire White Cloud Monastery, but that person directly killed him, leaving him without even a chance to ask for help. This proves that the opponent is extremely strong, and he should be either a Divine Feathers cultivator or a master of Perfection Stage!"

BOOM *

The moment he said those words, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar.

Sage Protector?

master of Perfection Stage?

There were only a handful of them, the Divine Guardian Spirits and master of Perfection Stage s of the Jiangnan Province. How could Ji Kuhai offend such an enemy?

Dao Qingyi did not care about the doubt in everyone's eyes and continued to speak, "I tried to deduce the location of Junior Brother Ji's death, but after discovering the Tian Ji Barrier, I was powerless to do anything."

"Now, my White Cloud Monastery does not know where he is at all, and what his intentions are.

"As for the murderer, you don't have to worry about it. I will investigate it myself." Killing intent surfaced on Dao Qingyi's solemn and elderly face, and he said: "No matter who the other party is, the one who killed my White Cloud Monastery, this old man will definitely not let him off!"

Hearing that, everyone's minds were at ease. With Dao Qingyi here, the White Cloud Monastery would definitely be fine!

As for the guy who killed Ji Kuhai, he was the target of Dao Qingyi's eyes. After all, Dao Qingyi was a reputable Great Expert in the Spirit Controlling Realm. Normal Spirit Overseers would not be his match.

The few elders who were standing behind Dao Qingyi had different expressions on their faces. They knew about the conflict over ten years ago, and about the subtle relationship between Ji Kuhai and Dao Qingyi. The seniors knew that Ji Kuhai had a high chance of becoming a god, but suddenly died.

Except, they only thought in their hearts, but didn't reveal the slightest bit of expression on their faces. If Dao Qingyi knew the conjectures of these old fellows, he would definitely cry out his injustice!

… …

Misty Valley, by the side of the Thunder Lake.

Tang Qiubai's face was full of excitement, as he took out a huge pile of items from Ji Kuhai's body and arranged them in a row.

"Teacher, this old fellow has so many good things!" There are three medicinal herbs over three hundred years old, and there are also many spiritual pill s. Although this horsetail whisk is a bit broken, it is still a good thing. Tsk tsk, I never thought that Ji Hao had such an expert backing him! "

Recalling Ji Hao's appearance at the Jiangzhou Immortal Family Exchange, Tang Qiubai secretly spat out a mouthful of saliva. This guy was indeed spouting nonsense, there was nothing to believe in at all.

However, he shouldn't have offended Su shi in the end!

Towards such a vile character, Tang Qiubai naturally had no sympathy. Looking at the spoils of war on the ground, he became even more excited.

This fellow had already tasted the sweetness of 'killing someone for their goods', but it was a pity that his strength was incomparable to a chicken. Anyone present, even the weakest Thunder Ape could kill him with a slap.

Su Bai smiled faintly and said: "Give these medicine to me, I can use it to refine Small Spirit Cultivating Pill."

Pausing, he continued with a face full of disdain: "As for that pill, it could barely be considered half a spiritual pill, and can at least heal some simple injuries and replenish some true essence, you can keep it for yourself. "Also, that < Evil Breaking Demonic Jin > manual is not even worth mentioning. If you were to master the Azure Essence Sword Art that I taught you, then all of these nine cultivation techniques would not be enough to withstand a one slash from you!"

Tang Qiubai scratched his head and laughed dryly: "Yes! Disciple understands! "Thank you, teacher!"

Su Bai waved his hand at him, and said: "Next, we will refine Small Spirit Cultivating Pill, and attack the sacred art realm. You and the Thunder Ape have nothing to do, so don't disturb me."

Tang Qiubai had already understood the cultivation realm, and upon hearing Su Bai mention that he wanted to break through to the Divine Abilities realm, his face was filled with respect and admiration as he said, "Teacher, rest assured, we will definitely take care of this matter for you!"

"Un, go on!"

Until Tang Qiubai and the Thunder Ape left.

Su Bai sat cross-legged on the lakeside and began refining the Small Spirit Cultivating Pill. This time, the medicinal herbs he obtained from Ji Kuhai could barely be compared to a stalk of spirit medicine.

He sat there for a long time. This time, he had refined a total of fifteen Small Spirit Cultivating Pill. With the help of the Essence Pill, it should be more than enough.

After adjusting his condition to its peak, Su Bai swallowed three Small Spirit Cultivating Pill and officially began to attack the Divine Abilities Realm!

BOOM *

With a thought, Su Bai activated the Great Tao Arts, and immediately after, the palm-sized nebula in his dantian suddenly and fiercely selected itself.

When a huge suction force exploded, the true essence in the meridians around his body flowed like water. Every time the true essence circulated for a cycle, the nebula in his dantian would expand by a bit.

Above his head, a black hole faintly appeared. The Spiritual Energy within a radius of several kilometers was forcibly plundered and channeled into his body.

The enormous pressure caused all of the rare beast within the Misty Valley to prostrate on the ground, not daring to move.

He cultivated for an entire night and the Small Spirit Cultivating Pill only had six left, until the dawn of the next day.

The nebula in his dantian was extremely dense, and its size had increased by more than three times. This meant that the density of his true essence had increased by three times.

When the nebula expanded to its limit, the surrounding spirit energy had long been drained by him. With a thought, a huge amount of Vital Essence Pill was swallowed into his stomach.

With the addition of a large amount of essence energy, the nebula in his Dantian, which had expanded to the limit, finally showed signs of expanding again!
