Su Jingzhen didn’t know about the events at the Tortoise Sect and didn’t care. As expected, he arrived at the Heavenly Sword Sect before sunset.
However, the situation here was different from what he had imagined.
The Heavenly Sword Sect was completely deserted.
Aside from the protective array that was still in place, Su Jingzhen couldn’t sense a single Golden Core or Nascent Soul cultivator.
“It’s only been two or three days, and the Heavenly Sword Sect has already left so thoroughly?”
Su Jingzhen chuckled, thinking that the members of this sect were quite reasonable.
With the Heavenly Sword Ancestor and several Nascent Soul cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect falling in the Linjiang branch, the remaining disciples naturally feared for their lives.
Like the Tortoise Sect, they scattered like monkeys when the tree fell.
After all, every sect in the cultivation world had enemies.
Without their top cultivators, any sect could easily become a target for annihilation.
“This is good, I can avoid some trouble.”
Murmuring to himself, Su Jingzhen entered the Heavenly Sword Sect.
With Bai Suzhen’s guidance, it was too easy to find the exact location of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s spiritual vein. S~eaʀᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
As for the sect’s treasures, Su Jingzhen had no interest in them.
It could be left for the newly formed alliance to collect.
Soon, in a dark underground area, Su Jingzhen took out his black brick.
There were no guardian spirit beasts here.
As the black brick glowed with dark light, a spiritual vein similar in size to the one in the Peerless Sect was completely absorbed by Su Jingzhen.
However, to his surprise, this spiritual vein did not have any spirit stone ore veins accompanying it.
Shortly after, he appeared in the empty central square of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Looking at the rising stars, Su Jingzhen decided not to continue his journey.
Instead, he took out the black tortoise from the Tortoise Sect.
In the central square of the Heavenly Sword Sect, he brought out the Black Mountain Cauldron.
He lit the fire, not for alchemy, but for cooking.
“After a day of traveling, it’s time to reward myself.
Fresh ingredients are best used immediately.”
As Su Jingzhen muttered, Bai Suzhen transformed back into her white snake form and crouched beside him.
Her sapphire eyes were filled with anticipation.
From the Black Hedgehog to the Black Flood Dragon, and now the Great Tortoise, each of them was a top-tier ingredient of at least sixth grade.
They contained immense vital energy that would benefit not only Su Jingzhen, but also Bai Suzhen. Soon, the place was filled with a rich aroma, and the two of them began to feast. ȓ
After they had eaten the giant turtle down to its shell, Su Jingzhen began to practice the Python Scale Power in the square.
The vital energy he had recently absorbed was incredibly huge.
If he could completely absorb it, he felt that he would be able to directly reach the seventh stage of the Flesh-Body Nascent Embryo Realm without relying on any points.
After all, even in an environment that was not conducive to body cultivation, such a method of accumulating vital energy could rapidly boost one’s cultivation.
After Bai Suzhen had had enough, she transformed back into a belt and fastened it around Su Jingzhen’s waist.
After absorbing the vital energy from the large tortoise, she could also absorb the vital energy Su Jingzhen generated by practicing the Python Scale Technique.
Even though Bai Suzhen’s current strength seemed formidable, she was still far from her peak state.
Throughout the night, Su Jingzhen practiced the Python Scale Power.
He didn’t know how many rounds he had done, but as usual, as his strength increased, he didn’t feel that practicing the Python Scale Technique had become easier.
On the contrary, as his strength increased, he still felt a sense of difficulty.
Unconsciously, however, the movements of the Python Scale Technique became more expansive and powerful.
The vital energy he generated seemed to become more intense and robust.
After the whole night, he finally transformed the flesh of the large tortoise and the black python into his own vital energy.
“Even though I haven’t broken through to the seventh layer of the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo, it seems like I’m not far off.”
Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, and at that moment, a hint of dawn appeared on the eastern horizon.
Suddenly, a line of golden characters appeared in front of his eyes.
【Daily Fixed Points: Shuang Jiang: 15, Zhang Xiu: 4, Feng Qingya: 15, Luo Yuebai: 15, Dan Tai Xuening: 12】
【Remaining Available Points: 1382】
Seeing the daily fixed points, Su Jingzhen felt great.
Now, even if he did nothing, he would still be able to open the Yintang acupoint tomorrow.
At the moment, he was at the sixth stage of the Flesh-Body Nascent Embryo, so opening the Yintang acupoint might take him directly to the peak of the Flesh-Body Nascent Embryo realm.
With a little luck, combined with a few pure beast crystals or a few more large beasts, he could directly reach the True Flesh Body Embryo.
The situation looked very promising.
“Time to go.
If I can find more Dao Rhythm and complete the primordial spirit lines on the Ancestral Tortoise, I’ll have more confidence.”
After stretching, Su Jingzhen had no attachment to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
He took his flying sword back to the sky.
He had many other destinations in mind.
However, the closest one to the Heavenly Sword Sect was the Qingzhou Holy City.
The Holy City was home to the Tuoba Family’s Treasure Gathering Pavilion and several top-tier forces that had attacked the Linjiang branch.
In short, the top-tier forces of the Holy City system were generally not on good terms with them.
Although his targets also included the Heavenly Fiend Sect and several other top-tier forces in the Cangzhou and Huangzhou regions,
Since he was already here, he wanted to clear up a few things.
After all, figures like Tuoba Junlin and Zou Zeyu were already on his death list.
Maybe it was time to harvest them.
However, he wasn’t sure if Zou Zeyu and Tuoba Junlin would still be in their lairs after these two or three days.
“Looking at it this way, I still have a lot of work to do in Qingzhou, Huangzhou, and Cangzhou before I follow Qiu Yaoyao to the Heavenly Dragon Race.
A month should be enough, but I’m afraid the people I want to kill might have already left.”
Longyan City was less than five hundred miles from the Holy City.
It was a necessary stop on Su Jingzhen’s way to the Holy City.
“Before we go to Qingzhou, let’s dissolve the Longyan branch first.
With my current reputation in Qingzhou, it should be no problem to directly help Yuebai end this competition.”
After flying for about two hours, Su Jingzhen’s vision caught the outline of Longyan City.
Even though he knew that Zou Zeyu probably wouldn’t be in Longyan City, he still wanted to take a look.
Longyan City was slightly smaller than the current Linjiang City, but it still had a considerable population.
Most of them were low-level qi refining stage cultivators.
Su Jingzhen arrived directly at the location of the Longyan branch.
There were also many demonic cultivators from the Evil Moon Sect.
These demonic cultivators were the foundation given to Zou Zeyu by the main sect of the Evil Moon Sect when Luo Yuebai and Zou Zeyu started their competition.
Su Jingzhen didn’t alert anyone and went straight to the depths of the Longyan branch.
He secretly checked every courtyard, and the strongest here were only at the late Golden Core stage. There were no Nascent Soul cultivators.
Neither Zou Zeyu nor the Second Elder were present.
“I heard that Zou Zeyu and the Second Elder were also in the Linjiang branch that day.
Maybe they never returned after leaving that day.”
Su Jingzhen smiled and was about to leave.
He had no intention of dealing with the ordinary demonic cultivators of the Longyan Branch of the Evil Moon Sect.
As far as he was concerned, these people were just ants.
There was no need to slaughter them.
However, as he was about to leave, his divine consciousness detected another courtyard.
His lips curled into a smile.
“Qingzhou affairs are completed in Qingzhou.
I never thought I’d find someone here.
It’s like finding something without even looking for it.”
