Chapter 1043 Strengthening the Foundation

Qing Yunzi personally went to Lingjing Mountain to take charge, and scared away Shen Bingyun, the soul of Yin Fu Sect. This news spread throughout the major sects of Yuanyang Realm in a short time.

In particular, several soul cultivators were somewhat worried. In the past, they only suspected, but now they have determined that Qing Yunzi must be an enemy.

Fighting with the number one cultivator in Yuanyang Realm, even soul cultivators have to think carefully.

It's just that it is related to the foundation of enlightenment, and most soul cultivators have to fight.

Eight years after Zhang Zhixuan broke through the ninth level of Yuanying, Ziyang Sect ushered in good news again.

Liu Lingjun, who was in seclusion in Lingjing Mountain, refined Taixuan Zhenyin Pill and successfully advanced to the ninth level of Yuanying.

It took Zhang Zhixuan only forty years to advance from the eighth level of Yuanying to the ninth level of Yuanying. Although he also had the help of the sixth-level high-quality elixir, Liu Lingjun consumed sixty-three years of work.

Fortunately, she was lucky enough to break through the realm before her vitality was exhausted. She became a great cultivator in her first life of practice, laying a solid foundation for the aftermath of the catastrophe.

Although Liu Lingjun has two spiritual roots, she cultivates very fast. She has cultivated into a Nascent Soul before she is 500 years old, and her cultivation progress is almost equal to that of a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Her temperament and aptitude are also suitable for cultivating the Purple Sun Heavenly Fire Art. If it weren't for the fact that Yang Xuanzhen betrayed the sect after she formed her Nascent Soul, which delayed her for a long time, her path would have been brighter.

In recent decades, Liu Lingjun has also imprinted her consciousness into the Golden Crow Divine Fire Barrier, so she can use this Yuanshen magic weapon to protect herself. She practices fire-attributed exercises, and her spiritual roots complement the Golden Crow Divine Fire Barrier. It is more suitable to sacrifice this Yuanshen magic weapon than Qingchan, and its defensive ability is also stronger.

Although her cultivation has just broken through the ninth level of the Nascent Soul and has not yet hit the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul, Liu Lingjun has cultivated two Huangting Daojing magical powers, and has a Yuanshen magic weapon for self-defense, and her combat power is equivalent to that of a top-level Nascent Soul.

It didn't take long for Liu Lingjun to break through the bottleneck, and soon there was good news. Another Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator in the sect, Zhang Zhenlin, cultivated into a Nascent Soul.

Zhang Zhenlin is over 400 years old. After refining the Nine Heavens Jade, he succeeded in his first breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

Including this person, Ziyang Sect already has four Nascent Souls with Heavenly Spiritual Roots.

Generally speaking, as long as a cultivator with Heavenly Spiritual Roots joins a large sect and has the support of the sect's top leaders and a firm heart, the probability of refining the Nascent Soul is extremely high, unless this person is too unlucky and fails to grow up by chance, or is involved in a sect war and becomes cannon fodder.

When a war breaks out between two sects, they often give priority to hunting down disciples with extraordinary qualifications. If their own sect is defeated, it will be even more difficult for the cultivator with Heavenly Spiritual Roots to survive.

After Zhang Zhenlin formed the Nascent Soul stage, Ziyang Sect already had twelve Nascent Soul cultivators.

After a cultivator refines the Nascent Soul stage, the next practice mainly depends on comprehension. Especially for cultivators whose sect's skills are incomplete and need to deduce skills, it is difficult to make any progress in practice even if their spiritual roots are extraordinary if their comprehension is not high.

There are seven techniques in Ziyang Sect that can be fully cultivated to the ninth level of Yuanying, three of which can be cultivated to Yuanshen, and the foundation is a few points higher than Kunyuan Mountain.

It’s a pity that the threshold of the Nine-Turn Pure Yang Technique is very high. You need a Nine-Yang Body to get started. Zhang Zhixuan has obtained this technique for nearly six hundred years, and he has not found a successor yet.

Another Yuanshen technique, Qingxu Treasure Scroll, was obtained very recently. To practice this technique, you need to start from the Qi Training Stage. Although Ziyang Sect has found several suitable successors, only two have successfully established their foundations so far.

Qingchan’s self-created Tianhe Dafa is very complete. After she deduced this technique to the sixth level of Yuanshen, the threshold for practice has also been greatly improved. This technique comes with nine magical powers, and only by practicing one magical power can you break through the bottleneck.

It takes a long time to practice one magical power, and it often takes one or two thousand years to practice nine magical powers. Except for water spiritual root cultivators, it is difficult for other spiritual roots to make all the progress in Tianhe Dafa.

There is only one water spirit root cultivator in the entire Ziyang Sect, Qing Chan. The inheritance of this Taoist tradition is estimated to be very difficult and is only suitable for water spirit roots.

In addition to the three Yuanshen techniques, Ziyang Sect also has four techniques, namely, Pure Yang Treasure, Ziyang Heavenly Fire Art, Five Thunder God Light Art, and Qingmu Xuanhuang Treasure Scroll, which can be practiced to the ninth level of Yuanying.

Most of the twelve Yuanyings in Ziyang Sect have established their foundations. Except for Liu Guyan, Li Lingxiu, and Tang Yisheng, the remaining Yuanyings have to deduce techniques, and the stamina of the Tianling root cultivators may not be far superior to others.

Among the Yuanying elders of the sect, Han Yan may have more stamina. Although she deduces techniques slowly, she is very stable and can always keep up with the progress of cultivation. In addition to the partial tilt of the sect's resources, she has actually caught up with the Tianling root cultivator Xia Youqing.

According to the current progress, if she continues to practice step by step, Han Yan can also practice to the ninth level of Yuanying before the calamity.

Soon after Zhang Zhenlin formed his Nascent Soul, Zhang Zhixuan arranged for him to go to Tianyuan Island to replace Tang Yisheng. After forming his Nascent Soul, he needed to stabilize his realm, so he went to Tianyuan Island to take charge.

In the sixth year after Zhang Zhenlin entered Tianyuan Island, another top-level Nascent Soul came to the island.

This time, the person who came was Duan Hongling, who actually brought two fifth-grade top-quality treasure ships to the vicinity of Tianyuan Island.

Ziyang Sect has been operating in Qingli Sea for more than 700 years, and has only refined six fifth-grade treasure ships before and after, of which only one is fifth-grade top-quality.

As long as there are enough people to operate, the fifth-grade top-quality treasure ship can already compete with the Dharmakaya Nascent Soul.

The two fifth-grade top-quality treasure ships invaded the waters of Tianyuan Island, which immediately made Zhang Zhenlin and Chen Yunfeng become frightened birds, and they immediately opened the Tianyuan Island defense formation.

The current special environment, Ziyang Sect Nascent Soul cultivators dare not leave the mountain gate at all, so as not to be lured out by the enemy, especially the several ancestors of the sect, who will not go out easily and expose loopholes to the enemy.

Fortunately, the person who came was Duan Hongling. Compared with Guya Sanren, Duan Hongling was very easy to talk to. She parked the two treasure ships outside Tianyuan Island and teleported to Lingjing Mountain herself.

Duan Hongling came to the door, and Zhang Zhixuan personally invited this person to the cave.

"It's been many years since we last met. Daoist Fellow Duan, how are you?"

Duan Hongling smiled bitterly and said, "It has been forty years since we last saw Black Tiger Island. The news of the birth of the Immortal Palace is surging. Daoist Brother Lei disappeared many years ago, and Daoist Brother Guya was ambushed by the Xuangu Patriarch a few years ago and died in the hands of Yuanshen. Although we got a lot of treasures in the Immortal Palace, we were caught in the vortex. I don't know how many fellows can stay out of it in the end?

I came today because I was forced by the Qinglihai Sect and had to seek refuge from Daoist Fellow Zhang."

"Ziyang Sect Ru We are in a precarious situation now. I don't know how many Yuanshen want to kill us. How dare Fellow Daoist Duan come to our door at this time? "

"Although there are many Yuanshen cultivators secretly watching, it's a pity that they are not under the same command and their hearts are not united. They all want to reap the benefits. Fellow Daoist Zhang can find two seniors, Bai Laozu and Qingyunzi, to protect the way. The chance of winning is already quite high. I think it is more than 50%, and it is worth a gamble. "

After leaving the Immortal Mansion, Duan Hongling and Guya Sanren returned to Qingli Sea together. The two originally planned to establish a sect to pass on the Taoist tradition.

When Guya Sanren was trading with Zhang Zhixuan that day, Duan Hongling also hid near Tianyuan Island to prevent Zhang Zhixuan and his wife from killing each other.

Unexpectedly, Guya Sanren successfully exchanged the Yuanshen Gongfa from Zhang Zhixuan, but was ambushed by Xuan Gu Laozu and killed.

Duan Hongling luckily escaped the battle, but lost the help of Guya Sanren and was unable to gain a foothold in Qingli Sea. She had no choice but to join a powerful sect.
