Chapter 1037 An old friend comes to visit

Liu Lingjun's calamity-transforming period is coming to an end, and her life span is about 60 to 70 years.

As soon as the battle of the Demon Cloud Cave ended, she returned to the Goddess Peak and took the Taixuan Zhenyin Pill, preparing to break through the ninth level of the Nascent Soul before her Qi and blood were exhausted, laying a solid foundation for her practice after the calamity.

A great cultivator who breaks through the ninth level of the Nascent Soul in his first life has three chances to refine the Yuanshen if his practice goes smoothly in the future. Even if he fails to break through the Yuanshen three times, he can still become a super Yuanshen like Qian Danqing and Wu Daozhen.

Lingjun closed the death gate at the Goddess Peak. After Zhang Zhixuan and the others returned to Lingjing Mountain, they discussed for a while and decided to transfer Zhang Yunlan and Tao Hongji to take twelve Jindan cultivators who had lost their way to the Demon Cloud Cave.

After 600 years of development, the Ziyang Sect now has 93 Jindan cultivators and more than 1,000 Zifu cultivators. Except for the slightly fewer Jindan cultivators, the shortcomings of the weak foundation have been made up.

The number of Zifu and foundation-building cultivators is no weaker than that of the large sects in Nanyazhou.

After the demon cultivators were eliminated, all the major sects would dispatch their Nascent Souls to the Demon Cloud Cave, totaling more than 20 people, which would ensure their safety.

However, ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators do not have the ability to pass through the earth's fetal membrane, so once they enter the Demon Cloud Cave, they will have to wait at least a decade before they can come out.

The entrance to the Demon Cloud Cave has been closed this time, and the cultivators entering the cave need to be picked up and dropped off by Taoist Yu using his magical powers.

These Nascent Soul cultivators stationed in the Demon Cloud Cave need to purify the turbid air in the cave all year round for thousands of years, so that the environment of the Demon Cloud Cave can be suitable for the cultivation of righteous cultivators.

The only Nascent Souls who can undertake such a task and consume a long time are the Dharmakaya Nascent Souls or those who have been ruined on their path.

Fortunately, the Ziyang Sect controls Tianyuan Island and can occasionally obtain the sixth-level soul-nourishing wood, so that they can continuously cultivate multiple Dharmakaya Nascent Souls. Otherwise, sending Nascent Soul cultivators such as Tang Yisheng and Li Lingxiu would inevitably delay their cultivation.

According to the contract signed between Ziyang Sect and other sects, the sect must send two Yuanying in the Demon Cloud Cave. After Chen Yunfeng's calamity, Tao Hongji and Zhang Yunlan can only bear the responsibility.

Ziyang Sect has three Dharmakaya Yuanyings, and it is still like this. The remaining large sects can hardly see treasures like the Soul-Nourishing Wood. Their Dharmakaya Yuanyings are almost all cultivators who have lost their physical bodies. Although their magic power is superior to that of Chen Yunfeng and Tao Hongji, their number is not as large as that of Ziyang Sect. If it is not fair and just, I am afraid that the sect will not be able to settle it.

Now the Demon Cloud Cave has been renamed the Demon Hunting Cave by Taoist Yu. There is also a memorial inscribed on the stone tablet at the entrance of the cave. The memorial mentions more than 80 names, all of which are Yuanying real people who died in the Demon Cloud Cave for thousands of years. The most important one is Yuwen Hong, the great elder of Huangji Sect. The memorial was written by Taoist Yu himself to remember the Yuanyings who sacrificed for Nanyazhou.

Wei Xuanyi of Kunyuan Mountain has little life left and has lost the possibility of advancing to the Yuanshen. This time he decided to stay in the Demon Cloud Cave and be regarded as the leader of Zhang Yunlan, Tao Hongji and other Dharmakaya Yuanying.

After returning to the sect, Zhang Zhixuan was preparing to refine the Nine Yang Creation Pill to break through the ninth level of the Yuanying. Just before he was about to take the pill, Tang Yisheng hurriedly activated the intercontinental teleportation array from Qingli Sea and sent a voice transmission to Zhang Zhixuan's retreat cave.

"Haven't you been in Tianyuan Island in recent years? Why did you suddenly return to the mountain gate?"

"This morning, Gu Ya Sanren boarded Tianyuan Island and asked to meet with Master."

Tianyuan Island does not welcome outsiders. Ziyang Sect's territory in Qingli Sea only established an external market on Dafang Island to receive guests.

"Did the two sides have a conflict?"

"Gu Ya San Ren came uninvited and broke through the Tianyuan Island formation, but he was very measured and did not hurt innocent people."

Gu Ya San Ren is a top-level Nascent Soul. If he had a sixth-level formation-breaking bead, relying on Tang Yisheng, Chen Yunfeng and some Jindan Zifu, it would be impossible to stop him.

As the Zi Yang Sect became more and more famous, its reputation spread to the Yuanyang Realm sects. Naturally, the territory they operated in Qingli Sea could not be hidden from those who were interested.

It's just that the waters near Dafang Island and Tianyuan Island occupied by the Zi Yang Sect are relatively remote, and there is no serious conflict with the Qingli Sea sect.

Besides, since Qing Yunzi broke through the Qingxu Sect's Taoist lineage, the Qingli Sea sect has also been a little afraid of Nan Yazhou, so it did not come forward to target the Zi Yang Sect, an outsider, to avoid provoking another war between the two states.

Hearing the news that Gu Ya San Ren had come to his house, Zhang Zhixuan frowned and said, "You go back first. I will consider this matter again before making a decision."

After Tang Yisheng left, Qingchan added several layers of restrictions in the cave to prevent the two from being overheard by outsiders.

The situation in Lingjing Mountain is delicate now, so they naturally have to be extra careful. Who knows if there are any powerful cultivators hiding in Lingjing Mountain?

Zhang Zhixuan secretly hid in Wuyun Sect back then and sent Ma Chunsheng's golden body and Dharma body to the forbidden area of ​​Wuyun Sect. If he can do this, others can do the same.

Especially for Yuanshen cultivators, even if they are hidden under the eyes of the two, they may not be able to find anything unusual.

Zhang Zhixuan paced back and forth, whispering: "Will Gu Ya Sanren come to my house? Will there be a trap?"

Qing Chan thought for a moment and said: "When the Immortal Mansion divided the treasures, Gu Ya Sanren got the Taoist method passed down by Senior Wang. According to my estimation, this jade slip must be written in seal script, which is in the same vein as the Nine-Turn Pure Yang Great Pill Method. If you can't understand the seal script, it's useless for Gu Ya Sanren to get the method. This person came to my house this time, it is very likely because of this matter."

When the nine top Yuanyings divided the treasures that day, in addition to the Huiyang Yanshou Pill, the most important thing for the Yuanshen cultivators was the jade slip that Gu Ya Sanren got.

Although the Yuanshen magic tools and the seventh-level spiritual talismans are extremely precious and can enhance the supernatural powers of Yuanshen cultivators, they cannot improve their cultivation. They are of little use to their cultivation and are not worth the Yuanshen cultivators' time and energy, disregarding their face and killing people.

Only the elixir of longevity and the skills of the immortals can make them mobilize their troops.

As soon as the news of the birth of the immortal palace was leaked, Longshan Sect issued an imperial decree to arrest Gu Ya Sanren.

However, Gu Ya Sanren was born as a casual cultivator and had no fixed place to live. After he noticed the news of the birth of the immortal palace, he immediately disappeared without a trace.

On the contrary, the Yuanshen cultivators were unwilling to spy on the immortal portrait in Zhang Zhixuan's hand. This thing is more likely to be the medium for Wang Chengyun's soul to go down to the world. The effect is similar to the immortal soul lamp passed down by the Huangji Sect. This kind of treasure must be left to the person who inherits the Taoist tradition.

If you grab this treasure, when the immortal's soul goes down to the world, it is likely to cause hatred, which is of no use to your own cultivation.

However, the Jade Sea Rising Sword in Qingchan's hand also attracted many souls. After all, the seventh-level middle-grade magic weapon is very rare. There are no more than five in the Yuanyang Realm. Even Taoist Yu does not have such a powerful magic weapon. For a Yuanying cultivator to obtain this treasure is equivalent to a child holding gold in a busy market.
