The sky is high and vast, with thousands of miles of clouds.
Above the sea of clouds, a floating island with beautiful mountains, graceful waters and numerous palaces and buildings is like a huge boat, flying silently but swiftly into the depths of the vast sea of clouds.
The strong wind was biting, and the surface of the array mask covering the entire island occasionally spattered with speckled strange lights. This was an anomaly caused by the violent friction between the floating dust gas and the mask.
On the mountainside of Yuming Peak on the island, Zhaikong stood on a high platform, quietly staring at the sea of clouds in the distance. His eye sockets were deeply sunken, condensed with a deep chill.
Zhao Sheng stayed by his side and remained silent.
At this moment, he frowned and raised his head, only to see ice particles and snowflakes falling from the sky above the mountain peak, and suddenly there was a wind and snow.
When Zhai Kong saw this scene, he opened his mouth: "The vision of ice wind and flying snow is Senior Brother Xiao Jiuke!"
His voice was lowered unconsciously, as if he was very afraid of this person.
Another gust of wind roared past, and across the void between the two of them, an extra person suddenly appeared.
As soon as the visitor appeared, cold currents appeared out of thin air. The cold wind carried the ice and snow and blew into the building, making it extremely cold.
Zhao Sheng looked at the person coming, and what impressed him most was a ferocious and terrifying blue face.
This man was over ten feet tall, and his muscles were as bulging as iron. He really looked like a terrifying giant.
This Xiao Jiuke is actually a rare member of the Gui Chi tribe, a warrior general of the Shura tribe who protects the Tiandao sect.
This person is a powerful Jindan man who sits in Wanhua Tianfu and his status is only lower than that of Zhou Bo and Zhai Kong.
But Zhao Sheng believed that Xiao Jiuke's identity was higher than the two of them, not only because the Shura clan was the Pope's trusted lackeys, but also because this person had a high chance of being promoted to Nascent Soul.
As soon as Xiao Jiuke looked at him, Zhao Sheng felt that Zhai Kong was a little nervous, as if he was a little afraid of this person, and even a little hostile.
As for Zhao Sheng, he simply smiled and said: "It turns out that senior Xiao Jiuke is here, please come in quickly."
As soon as he said this, Zhai Kong also reacted and immediately said with a smile on his face: "Guardian Xiao, are you also here to form an alliance with our senior brothers?"
Zhao Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he looked at Xiao Jiuke.
Xiao Jiuke finally spoke, and his voice was as sharp as a steel knife cutting through iron: "Tian Xinzi of the Black Sky Sect said that he wanted to fight with a certain family. This is a double-dealing, and he always likes to play tricks. When it comes to fighting, I'm afraid he will recruit people to help him.
..."
He didn't explain his purpose, but his words vaguely revealed some meaning.
"Tian Xinzi?"
Zhao Sheng said in surprise: "'No Shadow' Tian Xinzi is the sixth emperor of the Black Sky Sect. This person is famous for being despicable and ruthless. He is always protected by seven or eight golden elixir puppets. When he starts to take action,
He often rushes in and is a first-class shameless person...Senior Xiao, could it be that you have made a grudge against this guy?"
As if sensing his doubts, Xiao Jiuke stepped into the void, walked step by step to the balcony, and said in a low voice: "Tian Xinzi is just Tian Luozi's lackey, this person is nothing to worry about. Tian Luozi is the biggest enemy of a certain family.
.This person...has been a master of the Great Perfection of the Golden Pill for a long time, and his strength is unfathomable, especially he is determined to obtain the Huaying Pill."
"Oh? It is rumored that Tianluozi of the Black Sky Sect had closed the death barrier thirty years ago. He actually did not hesitate to break the barrier for a mere infant transformation pill?!"
"Not only him, but also the Purple Jade Fairy from the Taoist Sect, Dong Qingyang from the Zhiren Sect... Wen Zhongfei, the all-powerful Daoist, and Miaomiao Taoist from the Tianjun Sect. These people will come, Qiu Ling will start, Fengyun
International meeting.”
"It is indeed a meeting of the wind and clouds..." Zhao Sheng was very emotional. These people were all famous, and they were all Nascent Soul true species from various major forces, but they were all sent out this time.
There is no doubt that the Qiuling Sect's treasure hunt has become a battlefield for the major sects to compete with each other.
One side is for the sect, the other side is for oneself, just to see who can outdo the others.
The reputation and treasures gained from this are secondary. The key is to use victory to strengthen the Taoist heart - only with an invincible heart can we steadily survive the Nascent Soul Tribulation!
"Is this the true purpose of the Qiu Ling Festival?"
Zhao Sheng's mind was agitated and he had thousands of thoughts.
He didn't listen carefully to the rest of the words. Xiao Jiuke chatted with Zhai Kong for a few more words, made an appointment to watch the battle, and walked away in the wind and snow, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Only then did Zhai Kong let out a long breath:
"I heard that this person's Shura battle body has reached great perfection, and his cultivation has also reached the Golden Elixir perfection. When I saw him today, the rumors turned out to be true!"
Zhao Sheng turned his eyes to the distance, nodded slightly and said: "Yes, meeting is better than being famous! Xiao Jiuke is definitely a strong enemy."
…
One day later, the floating island faced the sun and galloped forward. The golden-red glow spread on the clouds, and through the gaps between the clouds, the vast and magnificent sea below was visible.
At this time, more than ten people gathered on the Dharma platform at the top of Yuming Peak. Except for the eight spirit tablet owners, the rest were all accompanying and protecting the Dharma.
The person at the head was the high priest for subduing demons. This person had long and narrow cheeks, and he had a horse face. He had a solemn expression, a serious expression, and his brows were as sharp as iron, which made people dare not insult him, but he really looked like he was powerful without being angry.
.
At this time, the demon-subduing high priest closed his eyes slightly and was concentrating on himself. The golden elixirs behind him unconsciously lowered their voices, appearing to be in awe.
Zhao Sheng looked around and saw that, except for Xiao Jiuke and Zhaikong, the other six were all well-known and powerful people, and each of them was also the chief priest of the late Jindan period.
Against the background of these people, Zhao Sheng stands out. Even though he has gained a reputation as a demon star, compared with others, he is obviously "unknown".
Despite this, no one despised him.
Those corpses on the wanted list have proved that this "disciple" of Queyue is not someone to be trifled with.
The setting sun had sunk below the sea of clouds, and the floating island suddenly shook and plummeted down at the same time.
"Are we here yet?!" Zhao Sheng muttered to himself.
"Well, we're here. Look there!"
Following Zhai Kong's direction and looking into the distance, Zhao Sheng said softly, "Hey."
He saw that on the sparkling sea, there was a place with distinctive colors.
It was a dim, gray-black area, with occasionally huge rolling bubbles and swirling whirlpools visible, as if there was some kind of force surging below.
At this moment, near the gray-black sea, there are floating spiritual islands and seven or eight kinds of large-scale flying magic weapons that are comparable to Dapeng-level cloud boats.
On the sea, seventeen forces each occupied a part of the water area, and many powerful golden elixir masters, led by the high priests of each family, all stared at it.
An invisible but heavy pressure came from below in an instant, which made people moved.
"That was caused by the leakage of the power of the Qiuling Sect's mountain guarding formation. Hey, the other sects have arrived early, so what about our Tiandao Sect? Just wait and see the joke, maybe they have already formed an alliance?" Zhai Kong smiled coldly.
, said casually to Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Sheng didn't respond. He knew that Zhai Kong was probably nervous, so he had nothing to say.
"Go down!" With a wave of the demon-subduing priest's robe, a hundred-foot-long spiritual cloud condensed out of thin air.
Xiao Jiuke, Zhai Kong, Li Yanfeng, Taoist Lingfu... the eight Golden Pill priests also jumped onto Lingyun one after another.
Suddenly, a cloud of cloud floated out from the floating island and slowly landed on the sea, opposite the other seventeen houses.
At this time, someone suddenly sneered and said: "Haha, you old monster who subdues demons, your Tiandao sect is so arrogant. This time, you are the last one to arrive."
"Huh, little Dragon Feeder, do you have any objections? Your Black Heaven Sect always pays attention to food but not to fighting! Do you have to challenge me? How about we have a fight first?"
Zhao Sheng's heart skipped a beat and he looked to the southwest, where a man was walking out. He had a white beard and a one-horned dragon wrapped around his waist. He was clearly the Dragon Feeding Ancestor, one of the Supreme Elders of the Black Sky Sect.
The dragon-feeding ancestor blew his beard and glared, shouting angrily: "Do you really think I'm afraid of you? Come on, let's go outside the boundary to relax first."
After hearing this, Zhao Sheng knew that he couldn't fight.
Sure enough, someone came forward to smooth things over: "Wait a minute, you two fellow Taoists have important business. Don't waste time."
At first glance, he looks like an old farmer with his yellow face, yellow beard, and earthy yellow coat. He turns out to be the ancestor of the Taoist sect in building land.
This man is a rare great spiritual master in the Nether God Realm. He has lived for nearly three thousand years. He can be called the longevity star in Yuanying. Not only is he highly respected, he is also a well-known good man.
As soon as the floor-building ancestor opens his mouth, everyone will give him some face.
As a result, the storm quickly subsided.
Zhai Kong had seen many big scenes and quietly transmitted the message: "It is estimated that the mountain guarding formation was cracked in the past one or two days. However, this cannot be done accurately. The spiritual energy here has been fluctuating quite violently. If there is an accident, we will be ready at any time.
They will all break open. Junior brother, please follow me closely later and don’t be left alone.”
Zhao Sheng nodded slightly: "Well, thank you for bothering me, senior brother."
After everyone from the Tiandao Sect showed up, they didn't have to wait long at all.
As night fell, the sea surface suddenly shook. Looking down, a huge whirlpool with a diameter of ten miles was formed in an instant, and a wave of spiritual energy followed closely.
In an instant, a huge pillar of spiritual energy rose into the sky along with the huge waves, and the rumbling sound resounded throughout the world.
At this time, the demon-subduing high priest suddenly frowned, and then turned his attention to Zhao Sheng and others: "The spiritual energy is leaking out, and the mountain gate is wide open. Are you all ready?"
Xiao Jiuke, Zhai Kong and others suddenly agreed. Everyone immediately burst out with amazing momentum.
Zhao Sheng's eyes flickered as he looked at Xiao Jiuke, Taoist Lingfu and others in front of him who were calm and confident.
He couldn't help but be a little surprised.
This kind of calmness and calmness is the confidence in their own strength, which also contains the solid confidence given to them by the behemoth Tiandao Sect.
"Walk!"
The sword light and the sound of escaping light piercing the sky were loud, and nearly a hundred Jindan chief priests all floated into the air, fell into the sea, and dived quickly towards the source of the spiritual energy pillar.
The ten thousand feet deep sea passed by in an instant, and light loomed below. Looking from a distance, a huge trench about a hundred feet wide opened on the sea floor, and a giant shield of silver light was propped up in the depths of the trench.
At this time, a long and narrow crack opened on the surface of the mask, and as many as nine Nascent Soul Ancestors on both sides of the crack were joining forces to form a large formation, using the power of the formation to maintain the crack and not allow it to be bridged.
Among them is the Great Sacrifice to Conquer Demons.
Seeing this scene, the ancestors did not need to remind them at all, sword lights and escaping lights rushed through the gaps in the light mask and entered the Qiuling Sect's mountain gate.
…
"Junior brother, follow closely!"
Before he finished speaking, a vast and dead world suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Sheng.
The rich death energy and spiritual energy were mixed together, blending into gray "smoke" that filled the sky and earth.
The sky, the towering mountain peaks, and the continuous buildings and palaces are all covered with a layer of gray haze.
At a glance, bones were everywhere, there were many ghosts in the mist, there were ghost roars all around, and countless malicious eyes looked over from the darkness, as if countless hungry wolves had seen the plump fresh meat.
These mist are very strange and have the ability to corrode spiritual consciousness.
As soon as Zhao Sheng released his spiritual consciousness, he felt a pain in his head. Nearly one-third of his spiritual consciousness had been cut off for no reason.
Moreover, the spiritual consciousness that could originally expand to fifteen miles away was greatly reduced at this time, and was actually compressed by the mist to only about three miles away.
You must know that with Zhao Sheng's spiritual practice, his spiritual consciousness is more than twice as powerful as the ordinary Golden Elixir Dzogchen.
He can only detect three miles away. If others have not specially practiced the spiritual mind technique, they will never be able to exceed his limit, which is usually less than one or two miles away.
"Senior brother, where are we going next?" Zhao Sheng looked at Taoist Zhaikong beside him.
Zhai Kong looked solemn, glanced at Xiao Jiuke, and said directly: "The situation has changed. We will act according to the situation later. If it doesn't work, go to Xuanyuan Tower first."
Zhao Sheng looked around and nodded at the same time.
Tiandao Sect had already given the internal architectural layout map of Qiuling Sect to Zhao Sheng and eight others, so there was no need for them to run around with their heads covered.
The Xuanyuan Pavilion that Zhai Kong mentioned was one of the treasure houses that stored cultivation resources, and it was also one of several important places where the Infant Transformation Pill was most likely to be hidden.
At this time, Xiao Jiuke, who looked like a fierce ghost, flew over and said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Zhaikong, Tianxinzi invited me to fight at Hualong Cliff. That is the retreat place of Yuan Ying ancestor of Qiuling Sect. There must be someone there.
A great treasure exists.”
When Zhai Kong heard this, his eyes brightened, and he immediately changed his mind: "Senior Brother Xiao, the two of us will just go with you."
At this time, the other five golden elixirs rushed into the thick fog and flew towards the target selected in advance.
scold!
Suddenly, a roar came from the depths of the thick fog, and suddenly a huge ten-foot-long fire dragon broke through the fog and appeared in front of Zhao Sheng and the others.
Li Yanfeng was furious and drove the fire dragon to fight with a burly golden corpse that was filled with black energy and had muscles as golden as gold.
Thick fog filled the air and surged back, momentarily obscuring the battle ahead.
Xiao Jiuke looked serious and said in a deep voice: "I met the golden-armored corpse just after entering the mountain gate! This time... I'm in trouble!"
Zhai Kong looked a little ugly, and he couldn't help but want to retreat: "Then Hualong Cliff...are you still going?"
Xiao Jiuke said firmly: "Go, how can you not go! Xiao is determined to get the Nine-Turn Dragon Nerve from the Qiuling Sect."
"How about going to the Sutra-Tiding Pavilion first?" At this time, Zhao Sheng suddenly suggested.
Xiao Jiuke suddenly looked over when he heard this, his eyes shot out two rays of white light like ice crystals, showing a deep coldness.
"Your suggestion is good. But... I'll mention it next time!"
After Zhao Sheng heard this, a coldness flashed in his eyes.
Half an hour later, the ground in an unknown square was in a mess, with countless body parts scattered on the ground.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng stood in the center of the square, surrounded by ribbon-like starlight, with sword intent surging in his eyes.
Beside him, Xiao Jiuke and Taoist Zhaikong were closing their eyes and regulating their breath, trying their best to recover the large amount of consumed real energy.
A faint green-black energy appeared on Taoist Zhaikong's face, as if he had been injured by some powerful ghost.
This is actually the case. When the three of them passed through the two peaks of Alchemy Peak and Weapon Refining Peak, more than ten golden elixir-level ghost kings suddenly flew out from the two peaks and jointly attacked the three of them.
Zhai Kong was accidentally hit in the body by a ghost king and suffered some minor injuries.
"What happened back then? The mountain gate of the Qiuling Sect has now become a paradise for ghosts and zombies, and it is so dangerous!"
As Zhao Sheng murmured, the dark wind swept the gray mist and swirled through the square. If you listened carefully, the sound of the wind seemed to be mixed with ghostly roars, full of sharpness and coldness.
