After unifying their opinions, the team set off again and headed in the established direction.
This time they moved forward at a slower pace. Every time they walked, they stopped to let Wu Jie conduct a reconnaissance. Only after receiving the reconnaissance results did they continue to move forward.
This caution was necessary. In the next three days, they encountered four or five demonic beasts in the realm of Tao and Fruit, not to mention those in the realm of gods and humans.
In the past few days, the Four Seasons Flowing Formation has fully demonstrated its power. Except for the situation where there are too many monsters and there is no time to attack, almost all the monsters are covered by the Four Seasons Flowing Formation, and then slowly grind away.
When you are exhausted, you can subdue those you can and kill those you can't.
But on one point, Wu Jie and Wei Mingfeng's opinions are surprisingly consistent - no extraneous matters, as long as they don't attack them, no matter how precious the monster is, they are not allowed to catch it.
This made animal taming expert Mao Juan very regretful, especially when he watched helplessly a little monkey with five colors of fur on its body, leaping like flying among the trees, surrounded by an invisible aura, if Wei Mingfeng hadn't been there
If you hold him back, he will really rush forward and try to catch the monkey at all costs.
"It has five colors and is surrounded by the strong wind. This is the five-virtue spiritual beast." He yelled crazily with his spiritual thoughts. "The five-virtue divine beast has the opportunity to extract the spiritual blood of the five virtues. Obtaining this kind of spiritual blood can greatly improve the breakthrough."
Opportunity at the Gate of Immortality.”
"The premise is that we want to live." Wei Mingfeng was not moved at all, as if he didn't care about the chance of immortality at all, "I bet you that this monkey must be a spiritual creature blessed by this world, you dare to attack it
, will definitely die in front of it, and maybe even us will be finished."
Seeing the monkey walking away quickly, he let go of his iron-like hand, letting Mao Juan, whose face was full of unwillingness, regret and pain, regain his freedom.
"Junior Brother Mao, we are cultivators. Even if we are willing to risk our lives for the chance of immortality, the prerequisite is that we can fight for the opportunity instead of simply dying." Wei Mingfeng advised earnestly, "This
A monkey is not an opportunity, but a dead end with no chance."
Maojuan was silent for a while, then sighed deeply. Although he was still frustrated, he finally gave up his fantasy.
Indeed, as Wei Mingfeng said, the prerequisite for fighting hard is to be able to gain benefits, rather than directly risking one's life - that is to risk one's life, not to risk one's life.
Of course Maojuan also understands this truth, but as an animal trainer, his sensitivity to rare birds and exotic animals is incomparable to other people, and his level of desire is far beyond ordinary people - in fact, everyone knows that if he can really catch that
He must have a better way to use this monkey. It is impossible to kill it to extract spiritual blood.
It’s just that, after all, if you can’t do something, why bother fantasizing about it?
For several days, Maojuan seemed listless, which made everyone a little worried.
"He has to get out of the shadows on his own." Jasmine said while chatting with Wu Jie, "No wonder he has good qualifications and practices pretty hard, but he is only an outer disciple. He can't even pick up a mere spiritual beast.
, there is indeed something very wrong with his xinxing.”
"But this is also his opportunity." Wu explained, "As long as he can pass this hurdle, he will be able to make a breakthrough in this area. Maybe he can become an inner disciple during the next assessment."
"Hehe, it's very difficult. Back then, we had countless talented disciples under our sect, but not many could really afford to take it up and let it go. Anyone who could do it would be regarded as a promising core talent.
Cultivating, even when it comes to sacrifice, comes second.”
Wu Jie nodded, what Jasmine said makes sense. There are countless outer sect disciples of the Yujing sect, but there are not many inner sect disciples. The total number of people on the twelfth floor will not exceed 2,000, considering that there are more than 100 in our sect.
Yang Shen True Immortal is almost equivalent to saying that there is one Yang Shen True Immortal among less than twenty inner disciples. The ratio is simply unimaginable.
But if you think about it carefully, for an outer sect disciple to become an inner sect disciple, there are requirements for qualifications, temperament, and character. The scope controlled by the Yujing Sect is extremely vast. Just by introducing Taoism, there are many small worlds that can attract ascended disciples.
There are more than three hundred, and within such a vast area, only less than two thousand inner disciples have been selected. These inner disciples are indeed the elite among the elites, and each of them has the hope of attaining enlightenment and immortality.
For the Yujing Sect, Jasmine still gave some praise. In her opinion, although the apparent strength of this sect is still a bit weak, the construction of the entire sect has already become somewhat of a big sect.
"Well, if there is another God of Creation who suppresses luck, this sect is qualified to be called a famous sect," she said.
"The total number of God-creating Lords you ask for in all the heavens and worlds is less than thirty, and there are only three in the entire Taoist sect, and they are all wandering people who have never opened a door..."
"So your Taoist sect is not a big force." Jasmine mocked mercilessly, "It was then, and it is still the same now. Although there is an additional so-called Taoist Supreme, and although the inheritance of the techniques is much more detailed and comprehensive, there is no one in a day.
The God of Creation is guarding the sect, so you are not qualified to play chess on the big chessboard of the heavens and the worlds, you can only be chess pieces."
Facing her ridicule, Wu Jie could only sigh.
It is true that as Jasmine said, in the infinite vastness of the heavens and the world, a sect without a God of Creation is indeed only worthy of being a pawn.
In the past, the Demon Clan God King of the Void swept through tens of thousands of worlds, trying to establish a great force completely dominated by the Demon Clan. Along the way, he destroyed countless "sects" that seemed unbelievable to ordinary people. Even the authentic Taoist sect was destroyed by him.
Branch. What was the result? The three divine kings of the Dao sect didn’t care at all and didn’t even show up.
In the end, the four fighting gods joined forces to either suppress or drive away the seven great saints of the God of the Void. Even the God of the Void himself was defeated by the three gods Siyuan, Xinghe, and the Jade Emperor. They had no way to go to the sky or the earth. In the end, they had to
He only escaped the fate of being suppressed in the Jade Emperor's Palace by combining his body with Taoism.
It was also that battle that established the reputation of the Four Gods of War as being invincible in all realms - God Lord of the Void did not fight alone, he had many allies. In the final battle, the God Lord of Creation alone stood up to support him.
tenth place
But the Fighting God Organization, with only three divine kings, was able to beat the dozen or so divine kings to retreat, and none of them could really help the Void God Lord - God Lord Siyuan was alone, and divided into more than ten incarnations.
One, more than ten people
The Divine Lord stopped them all and asked his two disciples to chase Void... That battle was truly earth-shattering. More than a hundred big worlds were affected and destroyed. Among the more than ten Divine Lords who participated in the battle, at least four or five
He was seriously injured and has been recovering to this day.
In that battle, the Great God Lord Hua Siyuan proved with his overwhelming strength that he was worthy of being the head of all the God Lords and the person who had taken a crucial step towards the eternal realm. From then on, no one dared to challenge the four Gods of Fighting.
of majesty.
Face is something that is not earned through praise from friends in the world, but through strength.
This is just like the earth before Wu Jie traveled through time. When it comes to fighting skills, all countries can brag about it. There are many masters in each country who are very powerful based on the stories. But who is really powerful still has to compete in fighting competitions?
——Facts have proved that most of the so-called "private masters" are actually parallel imports, and those who can really fight are mostly professional fighting athletes who have studied various schools.
Mao Juan finally came out of the shadows. One day a few days later, when he was sighing, he suddenly froze there. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.
For half a day, he stood motionless, but he was sweating profusely, as if he had been fished out of the water. When he came back to his senses, his face looked tired, but his whole body was full of energy.
However, his spirit has completely changed, becoming confident and stable, with a calm temperament that is unfazed by honor and disgrace.
"Congratulations, junior brother." Wei Mingfeng smiled and congratulated him, "After passing this level, you will definitely be able to enter the inner sect during the next selection. You can expect eternal life."
"Senior brother, you are so complimentary." Maojuan returned the favor with a smile, "When it comes to xinxing, senior brother is far better than me. Although I have learned something today, will I be able to maintain this mentality in the long years to come? But it is still unknown.
Woolen cloth"
Zhong Chao watched the two of them salute each other and couldn't help curling his lips. Although he tried his best to look disdainful, his eyes were clearly full of envy.
And Yuchenzi looked at them and sighed - once upon a time, he was so ambitious and wanted to hit the road to immortality. As a result, thousands of years have passed, but he has not found his own road to immortality yet. I don't know.
Before you know it, you are already old, your life span is about to end, and you are about to die...
Xiao Shan turned his head and did not look at them. But Wu Jie keenly felt that there was a flash of malice on his body.
"Jealousy is the devil," he couldn't help but sigh to Jasmine, "A good person, driven by jealousy, makes one mistake after another, slipping into the abyss bit by bit..."
"If everyone is so motivated, wouldn't everyone be able to prove that they have become a divine king?" Jasmine didn't sigh at all, "He only has this capacity in the first place. He can break through his own inherent pattern like this hair curler.
, there may not be even one person out of a thousand who walks out of the new world, how can it be so easy to meet?"
Wu Jie nodded and sighed deeply, the murderous intention in his heart becoming firmer.
A few days later, when they were moving slowly, Wu Jie suddenly stopped and looked forward in surprise, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Senior Brother Wu, what's wrong?" Wei Mingfeng reacted quickly and guessed a lot at once. He came to his side and asked in a low voice.
Wu Jie was silent for a moment and said: "There is something in front of me that makes me feel very dangerous, as if a steel needle is pointing between my eyebrows."
Wei Mingfeng was stunned and hurriedly asked everyone to stop.
Their conversation was not hidden from everyone. Everyone heard Wu Jie's words and did not need his command at all. They had stopped at this moment and naturally stood in the formation of the Four Seasons Flow Formation.
"Even Senior Brother Wu feels the danger. I'm afraid we will die immediately if we go there." Zhong Qi, who rarely speaks, advised, "Anyway, we have gained a lot, so we should go back."
His words expressed the sentiments of many people, and more than one person nodded slightly, fully agreeing with it.
"Senior Brother Wu, apart from the crisis, have you ever sensed an opportunity?" Zhong Chao asked.
Wu Jie was silent for a moment and replied: "I do feel an opportunity, a big opportunity. It is the opportunity that leads to immortality."
"That's right." Zhong Chao nodded and said proudly, "Crisis and opportunity have always been two sides of the same coin. If you want to achieve immortality, you must be mentally prepared to face crises. Anyway, I want to achieve immortality.
I’m not afraid of crisis”
"Me too." Yu Chenzi whispered, "If I can die in front of the opportunity, I will close my eyes."
His words were sad and full of helplessness, and Wu Jie couldn't help but sigh for them.
But after sighing, Wu Jie would not relent because of this. He swept his eyes coldly over the crowd and said in an unquestionable tone: "What's ahead is too dangerous for you. I won't let you go there and die."
of"
"Yes, I agree." Wei Mingfeng, who was originally chasing opportunities like crazy, nodded in support, "I think we should turn back now and leave this small world. This adventure ends here."
"What?"
"Just kidding"
"Senior Brother Wei, are you confused?"
Various doubts arose one after another, but when Wu Jie and Wei Mingfeng agreed, the objections of others were completely ineffective.
So the entire team turned back and flew through the sky at a much faster speed than before, returning to the entrance of the small world in just a few days.
There was a group of new treasure hunters stationed here, and it seemed that they were also adapting and preparing. Seeing Wu Jie and others turning around, they hurriedly asked what was going on.
"There is a huge danger over there." Wei Mingfeng did not hide it and pointed out the direction of the danger to them. "We are disciples of the Yujing Sect. We were exploring under the leadership of this senior brother Bingyunfeng and fell down along the way.
Two people, but overall it went smoothly. I also killed a lot of people who wanted to get the treasure."
As he spoke, he took out a few of the iconic magic weapons of the evil cultivators who had tried to surround Wu Jie but were killed in reverse, and showed them to everyone, which made everyone marvel.
"We won't go there anymore. The harvest is about the same, so we will go back now."
"Is there any hope over there?" The captain with white eyebrows hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively.
"Anyway, I won't take my companions to die." Wei Mingfeng said, "This is also what Senior Brother Wu meant. No matter how great the opportunity is, it is meaningless to the dead."
These words were very serious, and the opponent's captain Baimei nodded repeatedly, obviously understanding what he meant.
After saying goodbye to the unexpected treasure hunter, they left the small world and returned to the Yujing Sect with the help of a nearby large teleportation circle.
Wu Jie came to Bingyun Peak to pay the order and successfully obtained the external skills he needed. However, due to the loss of two people, he did not get much external skills, and he was still far from the goal of 10,000 external skills.
He was determined to exchange materials for external skills, but when he was about to go to Yuhua Building to exchange, he suddenly stopped and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he sighed deeply and left the inner door.
That place mixed with opportunity and danger always lingered in his heart, like a shadow that couldn't go away.
He knew that this had become an obsession of his.
Wu Jie is a person who can afford to let go. Theoretically, he will not dwell on dangers that he cannot bear or unnecessary dangers. But in fact, the danger is not to the point that he really cannot bear it.
However, he was very concerned about the opportunity.
This is an opportunity, not a crisis
In his heart, he has already made such a decision.
So a few days later, with the help of Wu Ruofei, he found Wei Mingfeng who was collecting treasures everywhere.
Wei Mingfeng sold almost all the gains from his treasure hunt and frantically bought various disposable magic weapons such as concealment, escape and attack. It was obvious that he had already made up his mind where he wanted to try his luck.
When he saw Wu Jie, he didn't show any surprise at all. Instead, he smiled knowingly.
"It seems that you, Senior Brother Wu, are going too."
"Well, I think I should still be somewhat sure." Wu Jie answered frankly.
"I'm not even sure, but I'm determined to give it a try." Wei Mingfeng said, "There are several other brothers who also plan to give it a try, and they are all contacting me."
Wu Jie looked at his determined expression and couldn't help but laugh.
"Then let's go together."
"Okay, let's go together"
More than a month later, they returned to the place where they originally evacuated.
It can be clearly felt that during this period, more than one treasure hunting team passed by here and headed forward, but there was no trace of them turning back.
"They are all dead." Wei Mingfeng said calmly, "Maybe we will be the same."
"It doesn't matter." Yu Chenzi was also very calm, "People are bound to die when they are alive, does it make any difference where they die?"
"For opportunities, it is worth taking risks." Meng Xiujun, a female monk who had not had much presence in the team at the beginning, said - she is a sword cultivator, and the temperament of sword cultivators is mostly to move forward bravely rather than bend. When faced with opportunities, she will not
Will allow myself to retreat.
"I think luck is the most important thing, and my luck has always been very good." Xiao Shan said cheerfully.
But Wu Jie knew that Xiao Shan had not originally planned to participate in this near-death expedition. He only changed his mind when he learned that Wu Jie would also participate.
Did he come here just for chance, or to do something else? This is unknown.
But it doesn’t matter. Wu Jie’s methods are far from comparable to Xiaoshan’s. No matter what conspiracies this guy has, he will only harm others and himself in the end.
The five people nodded, then took up the Escape Light, following the auras left by the treasure-hunting monks before, and moved forward.
After flying for about half a day, they saw a strange sight - there was clearly a big mountain in front of them, but the entire mountain was full of cracks, as if it had experienced a huge earthquake and the ground was full of scars.
This mountain stretches for more than a thousand miles and is quite vast, but the entire mountain is full of dangerous atmosphere, and you can even feel that the breath of those treasure hunters has been cut off, and there is no trace left.
It seems...this is where the crisis and danger lies.
