Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence

After several hours.

Liangzhou, at the bottom of Prison Gate Mountain.

Patriarch Zhenyang, Patriarch Sanshan and Dugu Tianyi met urgently in front of the gate of the secret realm.

"... Sanshan, what you said is true?"

Dugu Tianyi looked at Patriarch Sanshan suspiciously:

"That Qingxu Daoist, has really been promoted to the Golden Core Realm, erasing your imprint in Wanshan True Seal?"

"Of course, it's true!"

Patriarch Sanshan looked gloomy and said:

"I have no reason to lie to you, he must have such ability after he was promoted to Jindan!"

"After all, although the formations in the Five Elements Secret Territory are powerful, it is impossible to manipulate them as finely as mana."

"Otherwise, he would have been able to erase my brand and take away the magic weapon of Wanshan True Seal more than forty years ago, and he doesn't have to wait until now."

When he spoke, his heart was still bleeding.

Wanshan Zhenyin is a legacy of the Shanhe faction that has been passed down for four generations. Without this magic weapon, his strength will drop by at least 40%.

"But I've been waiting here for several hours, but I haven't seen him come out yet!"

Dugu Tian opened his mouth and said:

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that this is a bit abnormal."

In the past few years, it happened to be his turn to guard the gate of this secret realm.

After hearing the news from Sanshan Patriarch, he was nervous and guarded for several hours as if he was facing an enemy, but there was no movement at all.

"Nothing out of the ordinary."

Patriarch Zhenyang looked calm, and suddenly said:

"After he achieves the golden core, he will choose to break out of the environment in high spirits, and it is still only our guess."

"Perhaps after refining the golden elixir, he chooses to continue cultivating supernatural powers, increasing his combat power, and coming out when he is almost ready. This is also normal."

Having said that, he paused for a moment before continuing:

"I propose that from now on, instead of guarding in turn, the three of us will come guarding together with our real bodies."

"After all, you also know that the combat effectiveness of a cultivator at the Golden Core level before and after relying on supernatural powers are completely two concepts."

"If he comes out after he has developed supernatural powers and his strength has greatly increased, then we are alone, and I am afraid we will not be able to stop him..."

Hear his words:

Patriarch Sanshan discussed with Dugu Tianyi, and they all nodded in agreement.

After so many years, the situation in Da Li's Immortal Realm has also tended to be stable, and their respective sects and aristocratic families have also regained some strength, and they no longer need to sit in charge for a long time.

To be honest, the Qingxu Daoist in the secret realm is their real confidant and number one enemy.

…………

Inside the Five Elements Secret Realm.

After Zhang Yao received the Wanshan True Seal, he continued to retreat, comprehend and practice supernatural powers.

The complete divine channel art is more than ten times more complicated than the simplified version of the Tao method in the foundation period. Even with the cultivation base and comprehension of the Golden Core Realm, it often takes years of long-term hard work.

With the help of 'Bright Light True Flame' and 'Lightning Strike Divine Tree', after Zhang Yao completed the step of attributing the five elements, he began to separate the five elements and gradually comprehend the magic of supernatural powers.

In the process of cultivating supernatural powers, the memory from Yu Wentai once again played a great role.

Back then, Liu Cang, a man of the five elements, had refined the golden core of the complete "nine-color sky wheel". He was familiar with the cultivation methods, tricks and key points of the five-phase supernatural powers and couldn't be more familiar with them.

Zhang Yao comprehended his memory, as if he had been carefully taught by a famous teacher. Naturally, his progress was rapid and rapid.

Thirty short years later:

Zhang Yao pushed the practice progress of 'Aurora Escape Method' and 'Destroying God Thunder' to 100%.

Inner Vision Golden Elixir:

On top of the round and flawless first-grade golden elixir, and on top of the nine divine patterns, two of them have already undergone changes.

One of the divine lines is covered with mysterious runes and curse seals shining with white light, like the aurora across the sky and the four fields;

On the other divine pattern, there was faint purple thunder light rising, exuding an aura full of destruction and destruction.

"good."

Zhang Yao nodded slightly, with a satisfied expression:

"After entrusting the golden core and turning it into a supernatural power, the power has indeed been improved in all aspects."

With a thought, he called out the long-lost attribute panel:

Name: Zhang Yao

Talent: source of vitality, transformation of essence

Realm: Jindan Early Stage

Exercise: "Wan Hua Du Tian Zhen Jing"

Supernatural powers: Aurora Escape (100%), Destroying God Thunder (100%)

Taoism: Curse of One Heart and One Life (100%), Blood Septicity (100%), Divine Light of Desolate Soul (100%)

Taoism: slightly

Spells: slightly

Skills: third-order alchemy (41%), third-order alchemy (46%), third-order talisman mastery (53%), third-order spirit pattern mastery (55%), third-order formation mastery (79%)

It can be seen from the panel:

Zhang Yao has been practicing for 30 years. Not only has he perfected the two supernatural powers, but he has also promoted the two Taoist arts created by himself to Taoism, and by the way, he has also advanced the soul-destroying divine light to the level of perfection.

Not only divine channeling techniques, but also skills such as alchemy, weapon refining, talismans, formations, etc., have made great progress in the past thirty years.

"Recently, the progress in formation skills is still a bit slow."

"Memory is not omnipotent. I am not Yu Wentai after all. It is impossible to completely copy his perception."

In Zhang Yao's mind, thoughts flickered slightly:

"The way of formation still needs to be practiced personally, and at the same time learn from others' strengths, in order to make rapid progress."

"My understanding of the yin and yang formation is still shallow, and the tyrannical formations I have personally seen are limited, so it is understandable that the progress is slow."

Having said that, Zhang Yao is quite satisfied with his formation skills.

It has only been 30 years since he achieved the golden core, and he is already at the upper level among the third-order array mages, which is extremely rare.

"Thirty years of practicing, my strength has never been improved."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yao smiled lightly and got up slowly:

"It's also time to leave the secret realm and meet Patriarch Zhenyang and others."

…………

Underground of Prison Gate Mountain.

Patriarch Zhenyang and the others each built a simple dwelling to surround the gate of the secret realm.

On weekdays, they sometimes exchange their cultivation experience with each other, and occasionally discuss the method of divine passage, and most of the time they spend their time in self-cultivation and comprehension.

Suddenly:

The door of the secret realm, which had been silent for many years, suddenly burst into five-color brilliance, and rippled like lines of water.

"Um?"

This kind of movement immediately alarmed the three ancestors of Zhenyang, and they immediately drove the escape light and came to the gate of the secret realm.

"He's coming out!"

The three of them looked at each other with solemn expressions, staring at the door of the secret realm, ready to fight.

"Wow..."

In the ripple-like pattern, Zhang Yao was wearing a blue Taoist robe and a lotus crown, and Shi Shiran stepped out of the bronze gate.

With a sweep of his gaze, he saw Patriarch Zhenyang and the others who were facing a formidable enemy, and smiled slightly:

"Zhenyang Patriarch, Sanshan Patriarch, Lonely Patriarch."

Zhang Yao bowed his head, nodded and said:

"Poverty and innocent, I have long admired the names of the three."

"The three of you have deliberately waited here for a long time to surround the poor, and it seems that you are ready to win or lose, so please..."

"etc!"

Patriarch Zhenyang suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted his words:

"Fellow Daoist Qingxu may have misunderstood."

He lowered his head slightly, and his tone slowed down a bit:

"Our previous conflicts with fellow Taoists were mostly coincidental, and it was not a life-and-death enmity or a dispute over the path."

"It is also a great joy for me, Dali, to cultivate the Immortal Realm, now that fellow Taoists have ascended to the realm of the Golden Core, inheriting the mantle of the Five Elements Sanren, and carrying forward the past and opening up the future."

"The three of us are willing to gamble with fellow daoists and turn this fight into a jade silk. I don't know how the friendship will go?"

"oh?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yao's expression was a little subtle.

He didn't expect that Patriarch Zhenyang and the others would take the initiative to back down, instead of shouting and killing him as soon as they came up, and fighting fiercely with him.

Even judging from his tone, it seemed a bit submissive, as if they had already figured out how to face him.

"That's interesting."

There was a look of interest on Zhang Yao's face, and he motioned:

"Fellow Daoist Zhenyang, please continue."

Patriarch Zhenyang took a deep breath and said:

"Fellow Daoist is a golden core cultivator who refines the formation and enters the body, and his strength is extraordinary. If we fight alone, I will definitely not be an opponent of Friend Daoist."

"The three of us are so bold that we want to join hands with fellow daoists to gamble and compete."

"If I win, I will never be a friend of the Daoist. I just want to ask the fellow Taoist to leave Dali from now on, and make an oath of Dao heart, agreeing not to return to the territory of Dali."

"If I lose, I will voluntarily respect my fellow daoists as the master. From now on, the Dali Xiuxian world will follow my fellow daoists as my leader, and there will be no second words with one order!"

This was the proposal of Patriarch Zhenyang back then, and it was also the unanimous opinion of the three major Golden Core cultivators.

The strength of the three of them can only be regarded as ordinary among the Golden Core monks, and they are all in the early stage of Golden Core.

And they also know how powerful the monks who practice the way of refining the formation into the body are. They can see one or two from the fact that Wuxing Sanren's reputation is still alive two thousand years after his death.

In this situation:

They didn't want to take the risk of offending this Qingxu real person to death. After all, if they were defeated and died, they would face the fate of all their families and sects being implicated, and hundreds of thousands of years of orthodoxy inheritance would be wiped out.

They have all become the supreme ancestors of Jindan and the pillars of the sect, so naturally they cherish their lives even more. Appropriate compromise and concessions are also a wise way to protect themselves.

"Hahaha……"

Zhang Yao let out a long laugh, and said loudly:

"Okay, then the poor should accept this fight!"

Thirty years ago, with one against three, he still had a good chance of winning;

Thirty years later, he has practiced all kinds of divine channeling techniques, and it is even easier for him to deal with Patriarch Zhenyang and others.

Since it is a gamble that must be won, it doesn't matter if you agree.

After all, in most cases, the living are more useful than the dead, and if he could order Da Li to cultivate the Immortal Realm, it would also bring him huge benefits.

"...Okay, then it's a deal!"

Patriarch Zhenyang and the others looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

…………

After a while.

Zhang Yao, Patriarch Zhenyang and the others flew into the sky together, arriving at a height of ten thousand zhang.

The strong wind here is fierce and raging endlessly. When monks in the foundation-building period come here, they will be blown away by the aura of the protective body, and they will fall to death.

Jindan fights can often spread hundreds of miles, and it is also the default rule among Jindan monks to fight in the sky as much as possible.

"Friend Qingxu, please."

Ancestor Zhenyang, Ancestor Sanshan, and Dugu Tianyi, with mana surging in their bodies, took out their respective magic weapons with solemn expressions.

"Be careful."

Zhang Yao opened his mouth to remind, then suddenly raised his hands and grasped in vain:

"Tear!"

The dazzling purple lightning flashed, and instantly condensed into seven or eight fist-sized purple thunderballs, rising between Zhang Yao's hands.

This is one of the five supernatural powers, the Thunder of Punishing God!

"Shua!" "Shua!" "Shua!"...

The thunder ball flew out with a whistling speed, as fast as lightning, and in an instant, it traveled hundreds of feet and exploded when it arrived at Patriarch Zhenyang and the others.

In an instant, the dazzling purple lightning spread out into a vast ocean of lightning, and the turbulent wind roared and turned into a vacuum!

"Damn it!"

Patriarch Sanshan's complexion changed.

As early as the moment the thunder ball exploded, he activated his supernatural powers and transformed into a thick Lu Xuying, protecting the three of them.

Among the three Jindan Patriarchs, he is the mana foundation of the earth attribute, and his defense method is the strongest.

What shocked him was:

Seven or eight thunderballs exploded, and the power of each thunderball was almost close to that of a third-order secret treasure. The power of the sea of ​​thunder that exploded and superimposed on each other was even more terrifying.

In less than an instant, the land and land phantom he cast showed signs of being torn apart, and it was about to fail!

Patriarch Sanshan was almost suffocated.

Such a terrifying Sea of ​​Thunder, once hit head-on without protection, I am afraid that it will lose a layer of skin even if it is not dead!

"I can't hold it anymore!"

Patriarch Sanshan's spiritual thoughts anxiously transmitted the sound:

"Go! Separate and break through!!"

"What?!"

Patriarch Zhenyang and Dugutian beside him have been stunned.

What's the situation?

The three of them have been studying divine channeling skills with each other for many years, and they have also practiced the method of joint strikes, and they all have a tacit understanding with each other.

The ancestors of Sanshan were in charge of protection. They were about to use their supernatural powers and activate their magic weapons to attack head-on, but you told me that it took less than an instant, so you couldn't hold on?

"These three mountains are too deceitful!!"

Ancestor Zhenyang cursed angrily in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

Patriarch Sanshan couldn't hold on any longer, and he couldn't be forced to hold on. At this time, the most important thing is to make the last point of avoidance.

"Hoo!" "Hoo!"

A line of fire and a flash of lightning rushed out of the phantom of the land and land in an instant, far away from the range of the Sea of ​​Thunder.

"Boom!"

The sea of ​​lightning completely crushed Lu Xuying, and the terrifying thunder power shook everywhere.

Patriarch Sanshan trembled from the beating, his face was scorched black, and he vomited blood in his mouth. If he hadn't avoided the frontal power at the last moment, he might have suffered serious injuries.

"Not good! Sanshan is in danger!"

Patriarch Zhenyang and Dugu Tianyi's expressions changed, and alarm bells rang in their hearts instantly.

Even if the three of them could hold on together, if they were seized the opportunity to cut off one arm first and defeat each other, then the fight would simply be surrendered.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The red gold ring whizzed out, and endless flames rose; the Thunder Light Flying Sword roared and slashed, and the thunder dragon roared.

They all made a choice unanimously - to attack where they must be saved!

If you go to rescue the Patriarch Sanshan, you will fall into a passive position, and you will be easily caught and targeted. It is better to directly attack and kill Qingxu Zhengshen and force him to protect himself!

What they didn't expect was:

"call out!"

The white light flashed away!

Zhang Yao turned into a white rainbow, and in an instant, he directly crossed five or six hundred feet, and killed the ancestor of Sanshan.
