High above the east side of the ‘Tai Chi Circle’ island chain.
Zhang Ke slowly retracted his right index finger from the water mirror in front of him.
Xu Qingzhi beside him looked at the scene that just happened with a shaken mind.
The distance between the South China Sea of Laizhou and the northwest of Dingzhou is hundreds of thousands of miles. Zhang Ke actually only passed through the [Xumi Tian Eye Formation] and killed Lord Frost with one finger from the air.
Such magical means of reversing space and mediating changes are truly shocking.
If Taojun Yunhao and others had had this magical power twenty years ago, the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' would have been destroyed long ago.
In fact, Zhang Ke's move was not only to vent his anger, but also meant to intimidate all parties.
Cross-state attacks, casual formation breaks, thunder strikes, summoning gods and ghosts, a series of attacks proved one thing.
Zhang Ke has the ability to launch attacks at any time against any sect within hundreds of thousands of miles, and ordinary mountain-protecting formations are no different from paper in front of him.
The most terrifying thing is that he can also command the ghosts of the underworld, which means that even if he dies, he cannot escape from his control.
After this incident spread, all the sects who had a grudge against Zhang Ke would sleep with one eye open.
No one can be sure whether hundreds of thousands of miles away is really the limit of Ruyi Daojun's attack range. Therefore, even some sects that are millions of miles away have heightened their vigilance.
Zhang Ke felt the slight vibration of the vitality particles between heaven and earth, and frowned slightly.
Although he seemed to kill True Lord Frost in an understatement, in fact, this attack also exhausted all his strength.
But this is not important. What is important is that after Zhang Ke took action, he faintly felt a sense of rejection coming from the realm.
He is a practitioner born and raised in the Azure Realm. Generally speaking, this feeling of rejection should not exist at all.
It felt to him as if the world had become fragile and cramped, and even the slightest movement of his body would crush the surrounding space.
Zhang Ke had a sudden realization in his heart.
Perhaps his strength has approached the maximum limit that the blue world can bear.
For a moment, Zhang Ke's emotions were a little complicated, which was both a good thing and a bad thing.
The good thing is that his strength is obviously higher than other Dao Lords in this world, but the bad thing is that if he does not leave the Azure Realm, or the Azure Realm cannot grow into the Great Thousand Worlds, his cultivation will not improve anymore.
After all, the Azure Realm is just one world within a thousand worlds, and the upper limit it can accommodate also limits the upper limit of a practitioner's cultivation.
Perhaps the reason why the top sects such as the 'Xuanyuan Sword Sect' left this world back then is also related to this.
The 'water mirror' in the air dispersed, and Zhang Ke casually handed a 'Rubik's Cube' to Xu Qingzhi.
"There are some Yuan-Gathering Pillars here, which are condensed with the essence of Yuan Qi after the death of Dao Lord.
You give this object to Shiraishi and ask him to organize the disciples of the 'Magical Weapons Department' to conduct research to see if this object can be used as the vitality core of the 'Floating Flying Boat'."
Xu Qingzhi took the 'Rubik's Cube' and used his spiritual mind to explore it, but was shocked.
Thousands of white-gold pillars like bamboo joints were placed inside, and the spiritual light contained in thirty-three of them was dazzling, as bright as stars and gems.
"Why so many?"
Xu Qingzhi couldn't help but asked in silence.
"Well, this was condensed after the death of those Dao Lords and True Lords who rounded me up.
The vitality in this Yuan-Gathering Pillar is relatively stable and has been refined. With the aid of the 'vital energy conversion' method, I feel that it is very suitable as the vitality core of the 'Floating Flying Boat'."
Xu Qingzhi put away the Rubik's Cube and responded, chatting with Zhang Ke for a few more words before flying away.
After Xu Qingzhi left, Gouhun came to Zhang Ke's side, and saw that he began to pull out the purple lightning whip from the clouds above his head and hit the three Dharma giants.
The seducing soul smiled and said:
"Master is helping the three-phase compression to condense the power in the body?"
The name of the three-headed giant is Sanxiang, but Yan Feier is used to calling it 'little fat man'.
Zhang Ke glanced at her, raised his hand, a purple thunderbolt flew out of the clouds and landed in his palm, and struck the Dharma Giant with a thunder whip from his backhand.
"Ouch~~"
The Dharma Giant let out a series of miserable howls, and its body once again shrunk a bit.
"Back then, the three phases were awakened from the important moment of bloodline awakening, and they fought against the enemy forcefully, causing the bloodline awakening to fail.
But if the three phases hadn't held back Daojun Yunfeng, the sect wouldn't have been able to hold on to Mrs. Qingmei's return.
In that war that year, Sanxiang made a huge contribution.
The master whipping Sanxiang like this is not so much punishing it for not obeying orders, but rather helping it awaken again.
In addition, the master chased Fei'er away because he wanted to stimulate Fei'er's potential, right?"
Zhang Ke smiled and said:
"I know I can't hide anything from you."
After a slight pause, he continued:
"Although Sanxiang is a little disobedient to orders, that's just because he is in the process of awakening his bloodline and is relatively lethargic.
This time Sanxiang has made a great contribution, how can I really punish him?
The reason why I led the ‘Purple Sky Divine Thunder’ to attack him was actually to help him refine his body through the power of thunder.
Moreover, the Three Phases have devoured countless elixirs over the past few hundred years, and the medicinal properties of these elixirs have been deposited in his body and have not been fully exerted, requiring his blood to circulate to digest them."
Zhang Ke paused and then said:
"Fei'er is not an ordinary creature. Although he is a 'celestial ghost', he does not have the unique viciousness of netherworld creatures.
But precisely because of this, her soul was not completely eroded by negative emotions, thus retaining her sanity.
But in the same way, Fei'er also lost his obsession.
What is spiritual practice?
To put it bluntly, this is a process of sorting out, implementing, implementing one's own ideas and self-sublimation.
Practitioners must understand why they practice, what they want to pursue, and determine what price they will pay for it.
Only with a firm belief can we move further and further on this rugged road of spiritual practice.
What Fei'er lacks is this persistence. She doesn't know what she is pursuing, and she can't see clearly what's waiting for her on the road ahead.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In terms of state of mind, Fei'er has a strong dependence and lacks the motivation and sense of urgency to practice independently.
Otherwise, given the special characteristics of the 'Tiangui', she should have advanced to the realm of Taoist Lord long ago.
Therefore, I want to break her state of mind, break her cage, and inspire her to find the motivation to practice."
Gouhun nodded slightly, but then shook his head.
"Actually, Fei'er just wants to be with her master all the time. Immortality and greatness have never been her pursuits."
Zhang Ke sighed and said:
"Yes, this is Fei'er's biggest problem.
‘Tiangui’ is special. Immortality means that it will almost never die, and immortality means that its lifespan is not limited.
She obtained the life-long pursuit and desire of a practitioner on the day she was transformed into a 'celestial ghost'.
I know that Fei'er is very dependent on me, but if she is just an ordinary practitioner and is restricted by her longevity, she will practice desperately just to be with me."
Having said this, Zhang Ke slightly raised his head and looked at the sky above his head, his sight seemed to see through the heavy clouds into the endless void.
“I don’t know when the great catastrophe will come in the future, and as my level of cultivation improves, my enemies in the future will surely become stronger and stronger.
Even if Fei'er is a 'heavenly ghost', it may not be safe for him to stay with me.
So even if I am resented by Fei'er in the future, I can only drive her away cruelly.
If she is stimulated and awakens and can continue to grow, that would be best, but if she just disappears into obscurity and leaves me, it is the safest thing for her."
Gouhun was silent for a moment, decided not to continue the topic, and asked instead:
"How does the master plan to take revenge on the 'Vajra Sect'?"
Zhang Keluo pondered.
The sect's disaster that suddenly broke out twenty years ago completely exposed the 'Innate Yiqi Southern Sect' to the eyes of practitioners all over the world, and also disrupted his plans in mind.
If you want to continue to accumulate strength and develop in public, I'm afraid it won't work. In this case, you can simply advance your plan!
"Thirty years!
The sect must use these thirty years to complete its transformation. When the transformation is completed, it will be the day when our sect announces its existence to this world."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to pull out a bolt of thunder from the clouds and struck the Dharma Giant again.
"Ouch~~!"
...
In the next twenty years, both the large and small Penglai Islands and the secular world in the "Tai Chi Circle" were operating at full strength under the command of the "Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect".
When the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' really broke out, practitioners all over the world realized how powerful this sect is now.
Every day, countless commodities are transported to various parts of the blue world for trade via mountains, large ships, and medium-sized "floating airships" that are as dense as stars. At the same time, endless resources are brought back to the South China Sea.
The ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ was not stingy this time, and all the restrictions on hundreds of core patents were lifted and made public to sects all over the world.
It even includes crucial strategic secrets such as the 'Ruyi Shuttle', the 'Vientiane Hammer Group', the 'One-Year Rune Algorithm', the 'Sound Transmitting Bell' and the 'Floating Flying Boat'.
The reason why Zhang Ke would make the countless achievements that the sect has worked hard to develop to the public, of course, has his own purpose.
Although the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ developed rapidly, it was ultimately limited by its own insufficient foundation.
It would take nearly forty years to refine a 'floating airship'.
But after he spread all kinds of knowledge, various sects also had the ability to assist and cooperate with the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' in refining magic weapons.
In order to obtain the vast knowledge of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect', countless sects have signed cooperation contracts with it.
Of course, the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' will not pass on all the knowledge to all sects in a swarm.
Instead, based on the expertise of each sect, the countless knowledge is divided into categories and spread in stages and in a targeted manner.
For example, the ‘Great Instrument Sect’ is good at refining weapons, and the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ imparts to them knowledge related to magical weapons, but does not tell them about the cultivation and grafting of spiritual plants.
As for the sects that are good at fighting, the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ brings out knowledge such as ‘Ruyi Shuttle’ and ‘Kong Xingzhou’ that can improve their combat effectiveness.
In this way, the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' easily mobilized almost the entire power of the cultivation world.
Why say ‘almost’?
It's because of a few sects such as 'King Kong Sect', 'Thirty-Three Heavens Palace', 'Bajing Palace', 'Hehuan Sect', 'Netherworld Sect', 'Tiandao Sect', 'Rogue Cultivators Alliance', 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect'
Didn't get even a piece of paper's knowledge.
As for the reason, practitioners all over the world know it well.
Regarding this point, high-ranking sects such as the 'Thirty-Three Heavens Palace', 'Eight Scenery Palace', 'Netherworld Sect', 'Tiandao Sect' and other high-ranking sects have great opinions.
Several major sects even prepared to unite to attack the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect'.
At this time, nearly fifty high-ranking sects from the five major regions of the Azure Realm issued warnings to several major sects at almost the same time.
'No sect is allowed to launch a joint attack on the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' at this moment!'
Apart from this short sentence, there are no threatening statements.
But this is actually the biggest threat.
It is not that these high-ranking sects have good feelings or sympathy for the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect', but they are worried that once the Southern Sect is attacked, all the knowledge in the sect will be burned to the ground.
Therefore, when the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' is willing to disclose all kinds of knowledge, they will not let any sect destroy the current situation.
…
Time flies like water, twenty-one years have passed since Zhang Ke killed True Lord Frost.
The waters on the east side of the ‘Taiji Circle’ island chain.
Thunderclouds have accumulated over this place for more than twenty years, and the sound of thunder and cracking can be heard from here every day.
"Rumble--"
A dazzling purple electric light in the clouds struck the back of the Dharma Giant like a whip, splitting cracks like tree branches.
At this time, the Dharma Giant had two heads and four arms, and was only three feet tall, but he had an aura as calm as a mountain.
Even when he was struck by the thunder whip, he only let out a muffled grunt, and the shrinkage of his body was almost unnoticeable.
By now, the Dharma Giant has understood that Zhang Ke is using the ‘Purple Sky Divine Thunder’ to refine his body.
Although every blow from the thunder whip still brought tearing pain to his soul and body, he could also clearly feel the improvement in his strength at the same time.
Zhang Ke stood on the top of the ‘Juling Peak’ and looked down.
‘Giant Spirit Peak’ is the peak where Taoist Yunhao’s body transformed after his death. It was named because the mountain is huge and shaped like a giant.
Zhang Ke has been training the Dharma Giant here for the past twenty-one years, and all the affairs within the sect are handled by Xu Qingzhi.
At the same time, these twenty-one years were also a period of self-reflection and precipitation for him.
After carefully observing the Dharma Giant, Zhang Ke raised his hand and was about to continue pulling a thunder whip down from the clouds.
Suddenly his expression changed, he stopped his magical power, turned his face and looked back.
I saw a seven-foot-tall nine-layered mini-hill suddenly appearing in the air a hundred feet away behind me, and then the hill turned into a human shape.
Zhang Ke's expression became serious, he stepped forward to the man and saluted:
"Disciple pays homage to the Patriarch!"
The visitor waved his hand and said:
"No need to be polite."
Zhang Ke looked up and down and asked:
"The Patriarch's injury has not recovered yet, why did he leave the country rashly?"
The person who came was none other than Taoist Lord Jiuren who had been in seclusion due to an injury.
Upon hearing Zhang Ke's inquiry, Lord Jiuren sighed and said:
"Senior Brother Xinghe is here to visit. He has something to discuss with you, but he can't talk to you, so he came to me specifically for mediation."
Zhang Ke raised his eyebrows, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly asked:
"But you are here for the secret of the Patriarch's achievement as a Taoist?"
Lord Jiuren nodded silently.
Zhang Ke smiled and said:
"It just so happens that I haven't seen Grandmaster Xinghe for a long time. It would be nice to meet him."
Turning his head to look at the trembling Dharma giant in the sea below, Zhang Ke didn't say anything and disappeared on the spot together with Dao Lord Jiuren.
