《Everlasting King God》


 C1

    "Yang Li, even if you have the luck to become a disciple of the Sky Mist Sect, an ant will never be able to change its lowly life!"


    "How laughable that your parents thought you were the pride of the Yang family. It has been five years and you are still not a servant of the Sky Mist Sect? "


    "In order to help you cultivate, your old man planted five times more plants than others. Now, his waist isn''t even straight anymore!"


    "Your mother took care of household chores during the day and fed spirit beasts at night. She worked herself to death and was even run over by a Blue Wind cow a few days ago. Now, she is bedridden!"


    "What did you give them in return? You''re ashamed to come home for five years? "


    "You''ve cultivated for five years and are still at the first level of the Qi Accumulation Stage. Even an eighth year child is stronger than a trash like you!"


    "What use do you think you have in this world? If I were you, I would just run into a wall and die! "


    ¡­ ¡­.


    The surrounding words rang in Yang Li''s ears, each and every word spoken by him was filled with malevolence, cutting at his heart.


    Yang Li was the target of a thousand accusations. He was an existence despised by the world, an existence that even the heavens and earth could not help but shake their heads at.


    This caused Yang Li to feel extremely uncomfortable, as if ten thousand ants were devouring his heart. It was filled with bitterness, as well as ¡­ Unreconciled!


    "No!"


    Yang Li let out a roar, like a huge dragon roaring with unwillingness, or like an angry volcano that suddenly erupted, and a crimson flame swept out!


    "I can''t accept this!"


    "I, Yang Li, have trained twice as long as others!"


    "I, Yang Li, am not going home because I hope to make a fool out of myself and return home to repay the two elders!"


    "Even if I were reduced to being a labourer in the alchemy lab, I still wouldn''t be able to break through that barrier after five years. I, Yang Li, will not admit defeat!"


    "I don''t believe that fate cannot be changed!"


    Yang Li crazily roared, bringing a resolute will with him as he surged forward as if he had broken free of his shackles!


    In an instant, the surrounding malevolent and repulsive people were burnt to nothingness, and even the void itself was shattered like a mirror. In the end, even Yang Li was reduced to fragments!


    Yang Li sat up abruptly while sweating and gasped for breath. He looked around at his surroundings and was silent for a while. He then laughed at himself:


    "So it was a dream."


    Seeing the moonlight falling through the window, he had already reached the bed. He silently estimated the distance before going to bed and estimated that an hour had passed.


    After a moment of silence, Yang Li took out a broken beast skin from the headboard. This beast skin was only the size of a palm, but it was dark red in color, as if it was condensed from fresh blood.


    The origin of this beast skin was not known to Yang Li. He only knew that it had been passed down from the Yang Family for generations.


    He wanted to honor the two elders and let them enjoy a life of luxury. He wanted to become famous, marry a beautiful woman, and have love and love for the white haired man. He even wanted to touch upon the legendary Dao of longevity ¡­


    However, after he entered the Sky Mist Sect, he realized just how laughable his idea was. Ever since breaking through to the first level of the Qi Accumulation Stage, five years had passed and he still had not been able to break through to the second level!


    Thinking of those lofty ambitions, thinking of how his parents had gradually aged over the past five years and yet were unable to do anything to him, he clenched his hand tighter and tighter around the beast skin that he inherited from his family. His fingernail had sunk into his palm through the torn beast skin, and blood was flowing, yet he himself did not feel any pain at all.


    "Buzz!"


    The silver light was like the silver ancestor of the world. It was extremely bright. Yang Li only felt that there was no other color in this world other than silver.


    When Yang Li opened his eyes again, he saw that the room in front of him was no longer his own. It was an extremely unfamiliar place.


    What caused Yang Li to be the most stupefied was the ten blazing suns above him. Ten great suns covered the sky, and the waves of heat made Yang Li break out in a sweat.


    Yang Li ruthlessly pinched his own thigh. Yang Li confirmed that he wasn''t dreaming this time. The legends said that there were ten days in the ancient times. Could it be that he was now on another side of time and space?


    Thinking of this, Yang Li''s breathing quickened.


    His breathing quickened and Yang Li discovered that he seemed to have inhaled a type of nectar as his tongue and tongue began to salivate. A warm current of air began to flow into his body.


    What made Yang Li''s breathing quicken was that the bottleneck which he had been stuck at for five years, had actually been shaken at this moment!


    Yang Li''s heart trembled. His current mood was no longer the depressed and unwilling from before. He was so excited that he found it hard to contain himself.


    In the blink of an eye, Yang Li reined in all of the thoughts in his heart and immediately began to revolve the cultivation method he had practiced for a long time ¨C the ''Fire Heart Sutra''.


    He had to keep his feet firmly on the ground to break through that bottleneck.


    At this moment, Yang Li forgot his current location. He was not training in the Sky Mist Sect, and forgot whether this place was safe or dangerous. There was only one belief in his mind!


    He was going to explode!


    He wanted to become stronger!


    He wanted to become an existence that those people looked up to!


    Yang Li activated the ''Heart of Flame Scripture'' to the extreme. His mouth, nose, and pores all opened as he absorbed and exhaled the world''s spirit energy that was shockingly rich.


    Previous Chapter Next Chapter "Boom!"


    In just a split-second, he hadn''t even finished circulating his cultivation technique in such a trashy place as the ''Fire Heart Sutra''.


    The natural chasm that had plagued Yang Li for five years had been crossed, and the sturdy bottleneck that had trapped Yang Li for five years had been broken through!


    "Second level of the Qi Accumulation Stage!"


    Yang Li had a thought, but he did not stop moving. His hands constantly formed seals, and the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth drilled into his body like a dragon.


    "Hu hu!"


    Once he broke through the bottleneck that he had been stuck at for five years, Yang Li would cherish this opportunity. He would not let it slip by him even for a second; he would turn this opportunity into his own cultivation.


    Middle stage of the second level of Qi Accumulation!


    Peak of the 2nd level!


    So training could be so simple.


    ¡­ ¡­.


    He didn''t know how much time had passed. He didn''t know how fast his cultivation had increased, nor did he know what realm his cultivation had reached!


    While he was cultivating, Yang Li suddenly felt an invisible pressure from the surrounding space.


    It was as if it was trying to expel him, trying to force him out!


    Yang Li was shocked, but before he could even react, he felt the world spinning, and then he lost consciousness.


    In a daze, he opened his eyes and seemed to see ten great suns burning with raging flames, rotating like living creatures.


    However, he did not know if this scene was real or fake.


    Within the mysterious space, ripples appeared in the air and Yang Li disappeared from where he stood, leaving behind only the mysterious space.


    ¡­ ¡­. "Hu!"


    Yang Li once again opened his eyes, but he discovered that he was still in the room. The decorations were still the same, the moonlight was still bright, and even the beast skin that was tightly clenched in his hands was still there.


    "What''s going on? Was it a dream again? "


    Before he even had the chance to doubt, Yang Li suddenly felt the spirit energy within his body surge violently like a surging tide.


    This was something he had yearned for in his dreams, but never possessed!


    "It''s true! It''s true!"


    At this moment, Yang Li had the sudden feeling that he wanted to dream. Yang Li was so excited that he found it difficult to contain himself as he mumbled to himself.


    He was both laughing and crying. His tears were on the verge of flowing out, but they still lingered in Yang Li''s eyes, as if he had gone mad.


    Actually, this was no wonder. Even though he had been dreaming of something, he had managed to persevere for five years. Now that he had obtained it, it was understandable for him to lose his composure in excitement.


    After all, he was only fifteen years old, just a teenager.


    After a long time, Yang Li hurriedly sat cross-legged on the bed. His hands formed a seal as he began circulating the ''Heart Flame Scripture''.


    He wanted to take this opportunity to consolidate his sudden increase in cultivation, turning it into his own cultivation.


    Circulating his cultivation method, Yang Li carefully comprehended the spirit energy within his body. Feeling the majestic and vigorous aura within, Yang Li couldn''t help but feel joy in his heart.


    Third level of Qi Accumulation!


    This was Yang Li''s current realm!


    It had to be known that before now, Yang Li had only been at the peak of the first level of Qi Accumulation.


    However, Yang Li had broken through a bottleneck in the time it took him to take a nap, and had even broken through several cultivation barriers of the early, middle, late, peak, and so on.


    This cultivation speed was so great that even the Elders of the sect would click their tongues in surprise if they saw it.


    ¡­ ¡­.


    Cultivating for no time, Yang Li had a whole new understanding of these words.


    Immersed in the practice of his slow cultivation base, immersed in the wonderful process of his ethereal and flashy strength slowly transforming into true power.


    Yang Li only felt that when he closed his eyes and opened them again, the sky had already brightened.


    Clenching his fists tightly, Yang Li could not help but smile as a faint yellow light coiled around them, giving off a scorching aura. Feeling the surging energy within, Yang Li couldn''t help but smile.


    At this time, a head peeked out of the window and shouted to Yang Li, who had just woken up, with a bit of anxiety in his voice.


    "Wan hao?"


    Hearing this, Yang Li was a little confused. He was the little leader of the service disciples in the Pill Refining Pavilion. Not only was he strong, he also had a lot of followers.


    All these factors combined together led to Wan Hao being extremely tyrannical on normal occasions. No one dared to disobey him, because those who offended him would end up in a miserable state, with no lack of cultivation being crippled and no place to redress their grievances.


    However, this kind of existence would not normally notice a service disciple like Yang Li, who was accumulating Qi for the first level. Yang Li would not find it so annoying to offend him.


    The two of them were existences from two different worlds. They did not have the slightest connection, so why would they look for him now? And angry.


    Yang Li withdrew his expression and looked at the round-faced youth. He asked with an unsightly expression:


    "Angry? Looking for me? What does it have to do with me that he''s angry? "


    "I heard that a pill refiner dropped some equipment in your pill room today, causing the pill refining to fail. He became furious at Senior Wan Hao, now it seems that he wants to settle the score with you."


    The round-faced youth said, his face revealing an expression of lingering fear. It was clear that even if he recalled that scene, he still had some lingering fear.


    "Today is my day off. If something happens during this period of time, it will be his own fault. How can you blame me?"


    When Yang Li heard this, he sneered. This matter had nothing to do with him, he wouldn''t foolishly run over to apologize.


    "No matter what, he''s still a senior brother. Since something like this has happened, he naturally needs someone to take the blame."


    When the round-faced youth heard this, he sighed. Facing such an existence with a background and strength, he felt deeply powerless.


    "So you choose me?"


    "Yang ¡­" "Not good, they''ve come. I''ll be leaving first."


    The round-faced youth was about to say something when he seemed to have seen something. His face changed as he quickly said this and left in a flash.


    Yang Li''s brows creased as he thought about the whites in his eyes for many years. His expression immediately turned cold as he sneered and muttered to himself:


    "Substitute lamb? "If it was yesterday, it might have happened, but today ¡­"


    The cold radiance that he had stored up for so many years splashed in the air!

    "Bam!"


    At this time, Yang Li''s door was violently kicked open. The dilapidated wooden door tilted at the corner.


    Immediately after, three janitor disciples wearing dark green robes jumped in, and the one in the lead said directly:


    "Yang Li, since you''re in the courtyard, follow me. Senior-apprentice Brother Wan Hao has something to see you for!"


    They were both around the age of fifteen. Their expressions were cold, and their auras were surging. They didn''t have the slightest intention to barge into other people''s residences.


    "Is this how you hire people?"


    Yang Li did not reply. He looked at the crooked door, then squinted his eyes and sized up the three of them.


    "Invite someone? Who do you think you are? Hurry up and leave with us. Senior Apprentice Brother Wan Hao doesn''t have that kind of patience.


    Hearing this, the three of them smiled playfully, looking at Yang Li as if he was a dead man, and spoke coldly.


    "Still not leaving? Do you need us to use stronger ones? "


    Seeing Yang Li remain indifferent, the man in the lead couldn''t help but sneer.


    He knew what this fellow apprentice brother Wan Hao wanted him for. As long as this brat could survive in front of Senior apprentice-brother Wan Hao, it didn''t matter if he was injured or not.


    If this trash didn''t know when to stop, he didn''t mind exercising his muscles and bones here.


    Beating up fellow disciples was never a good thing.


    "At least you know your place. Let''s go!"


    Yang Li''s words caused the three service disciples to reveal a look of disdain as they shouted.


    Initially, he had thought that the fellow would be a little more unyielding so that he could have a taste of his own medicine. To think that he would be such a coward.


    However, thinking about what Senior Wan Hao had to say, he didn''t care too much about it. He would first bring the person in front of Senior Wan Hao and then talk about it.


    However, Yang Li''s next words caused their anger to rise.


    "I didn''t agree to leave. If you want to invite anyone, then let Wan Hao personally come."


    As Yang Li spoke, he looked at the three service disciples in front of him and shook his head.


    "How dare you!"


    "Arrogant!"


    "Brat, who do you think you are? "He''s just an ant in the first level of Qi level!"


    "And you still want Senior-apprentice Brother Wan Hao? We three brothers have already given you face, and yet you still refuse to appreciate your kindness!"


    The three janitor disciples were furious as they angrily scolded the person in front of them.


    "You?"


    Yang Li shook his head again. Although he did not say it out loud, his contempt for Su Yun was obvious.


    "Ah, I''m so angry."


    "Senior Brother, don''t stop me. Today, I will definitely teach this kid a lesson and let him know what it means to have trouble coming from the mouth!"


    One of the service disciples standing on the left side had a fiery temper. When he heard this, he couldn''t hold back his anger any longer and stood up to attack.


    The other two janitor disciples also had extremely ugly faces, and they did not stop the hot-tempered janitor disciple.


    Who are they? That was the right-hand man of Senior Wan Hao. When he was with the disciples in the Pill Pavilion, who didn''t greet him with a smile?


    Yet, at this moment, he was actually being looked down by an ant, a good-for-nothing who had been stuck at the first level of Qi Accumulation for five years, and the lowly existence in his eyes was looking down on.


    How could they tolerate this? If they didn''t teach him a lesson, others would think they were easy to bully!


    Previous Chapter Next Chapter "Boom!"


    In just a split-second, that service disciple took a big step forward, his whole body emitted a fiery red light, and a scorching heat followed it.


    It was as if a furnace had suddenly opened, raising the temperature of the entire room by a level.


    Middle stage of the second level of Qi Accumulation!


    The leader of the janitor disciples nodded his head in satisfaction. It seemed that this kid wasn''t lazy and had been in the sect for only two years. It was quite rare for him to have such a high level of cultivation.


    The hot-tempered service disciple smiled complacently. At this time, he was planning to teach this arrogant brat a lesson. It was obvious that he was confident in his own cultivation.


    However, looking at that trash''s calm expression and the deep emotions in his eyes, it made him feel as if he was an elder looking at a junior.


    "Bastard!"


    The fiery temper of the service disciple felt as if a bucket of oil had been poured over him. The anger in his heart became even more intense as he quickly circulated his main cultivation technique and activated it to its peak.


    The tyrannical power of his cultivation surged, he punched towards Yang Li''s face, as though he wanted to smash his calm face into pieces in order to dissipate his anger.


    Previous Chapter Next Chapter "Boom!"


    In a split-second, his fist turned crimson, as faint flames were emitted from it, causing the temperature of the air to rise a notch.


    He had great confidence in the power of this punch. Not to mention Qi level 1, even Qi level 2 had to be taken seriously.


    The corner of his mouth curled up into a proud smile. When he looked at Yang Li''s face again, he wanted to see fear and terror on him.


    However, he was disappointed. That calm and indifferent expression didn''t have the slightest bit of emotion that he wanted to see. Instead, it revealed a wisp of ¡­ Taunt?


    Before the hot-tempered service disciple could even think about it, a smooth and ordinary fist had already collided with his flaming fist.


    "Bam!"


    As the flesh fists collided, a strong gale burst out from both of their fists. At the same time, a crisp sound rang out.


    "Crack!"


    "That is... The sound of bones breaking! "


    Such a thought flashed in the depths of the fiery temper of the service disciple''s mind. Immediately after, a powerful force was transmitted from his arm, and his body immediately flew into the air as if he was in the clouds.


    "Bam!"


    A dull sound rang out as the service disciple fell heavily on the ground in the corner of the room. Blood kept flowing out of the corner of his mouth as his arm powerlessly fell down to the ground.


    His pair of eyes stared fixedly at Yang Li. Confusion, hatred, and fear mixed together as he pointed his other finger at Yang Li and shrieked like a pig being butchered:


    "My hand, my hand is crippled! Senior Brother, help me take revenge, kill him, kill him! "


    This sudden turn of events was completely different from what everyone had imagined. The other two people were stupefied; they had only just been woken up by the service disciple''s miserable cries.


    Another janitor disciple immediately ran over to check, but accidentally touched a broken bone hand, causing his face to contort in pain.


    He sucked in a breath of cold air, and then almost passed out.


    "You''re courting death!"


    The leading janitor disciple''s face turned extremely gloomy as he saw this. He shouted and leaped high into the air.


    The person in the sky had already unleashed his formidable cultivation. It was like a torrential storm sweeping out, and the late stage of Qi Accumulation Stage 2 was completely visible.


    The aura was so powerful that it caused everything in the surroundings to shake. It was as though they were being pulled away, incomparably terrifying.


    "Die for me, you actually dare to use insidious methods to sneak attack me!"


    The leading service disciple had a lot of battle experience. He let out an angry roar, but didn''t lose his mind.


    He did not see Yang Li''s previous exchange, but he did not feel the spiritual energy surging from Yang Li''s body. He believed that Yang Li had used some underhanded methods.


    Otherwise, with that trash''s cultivation base at the first level of Qi Accumulation, how could he fight against someone at the second level of Qi Accumulation?


    Since this brat was using a sneak attack, he didn''t hold back and immediately used his own way to crack the formation.


    His two hands formed a seal as the spirit energy around his body surged. A crimson flame swirled around his palm as he charged straight at Yang Li.


    The reason why he used his palm was because his palm could transform into a fist at any time and could also transform into a claw, agile and agile in battle.


    This was only one of the tactics he used. The most important thing was the martial art he had learned ¡ª the¡¶ Flying Spirit Leg¡·.


    As long as he could attract this kid''s attention, regardless of whether he could remove that underhanded technique or not, the power of one kick would be enough to take more than half of his life.


    The janitor disciple in the lead seemed to be able to imagine the miserable ending for him after receiving Li Yang Li, as well as his terrified expression. However, the result was out of his expectations.


    Facing his majestic attack, the kid still calmly threw out a punch!


    It was the same punch that did not show any spiritual power, as if it did not contain any spiritual energy at all. It was an extremely ordinary punch!


    The service disciple in the lead was very clear on the power of his palm. Let alone a kid at the first level of Qi Accumulation, even a late stage second level Qi Accumulation Stage wouldn''t dare to be so arrogant.


    Suppressed by his powerful aura, he shouldn''t show any expression. Shouldn''t there be a sense of restriction?


    And this brat in front of him had dared to do such a thing!


    How dare he?


    The leader of the service disciples thought to himself in shock and anger. He couldn''t help but to circulate his cultivation technique to its maximum, raising his strength to the maximum.


    At the same time, his martial arts had been accumulated to the extreme and could explode with destructive attacks at any time!


    Under the watchful eyes of the service disciple, the ordinary punch did not have any effect on his palm. It was still normal, without any signs of a ''hidden trick''.


    "Bam!"


    However, the moment he touched Yang Li''s palm, the moment he wanted to turn his palm into a claw and grab onto Yang Li''s fist, a tyrannical power surged through his arm like a ferocious beast!


    "Third level of Qi Accumulation!"


    This thought flashed through his mind, but before he could yell it out, he felt a bone breaking pain in his arm from the unbearable pain.


    This extreme pain caused him to forget his fear. With a loud roar, he swept out the¡¶ Flying Spirit Leg¡·!


    Previous Chapter Next Chapter "Boom!"


    In an instant, the service disciple''s right leg was filled with a scorching aura as a fiery red Spiritual Energy surrounded it. It seemed to be dancing like flames as it created hurried whistling sounds in the air.


    A terrifying and unrestrained energy swept out, straight towards Yang Li''s waist. It was as if it wanted to cut him in half; it was extremely vicious!


    This person''s cultivation base was slightly stronger than the service disciple before him. It was obviously impossible for Yang Li to hide his cultivation level to defeat him. Thus, Yang Li quickly circulated his mental cultivation technique.


    Yang Li''s fist was covered in a faint yellow glow, and an aura of fire that was not very strong instantly emitted from it.


    The fist was not fancy in the slightest as it bombarded the incoming long leg. A faint yellow Spiritual Light instantly annihilated the fiery red Spiritual Light as the fists and legs collided.


    Previous Chapter Next Chapter "Boom!"


    Streams of strong and sharp gales swept out in all directions, bringing with them a scorching aura, like a storm sweeping out, causing the entire room to vibrate with a buzzing sound.


    "Crack!"


    Before the janitor disciple could react, a bone cracking sound was heard.


    "Bam!"


    At the same time, the janitor disciple was blasted away by an absolutely formidable force and smashed into the body of that janitor disciple.

 C3

    In Yang Li''s room, wails and cries of terror rang out.


    The anguished wails belonged to the two service disciples that attacked Yang Li. Their hand bones were shattered, their five organs had been displaced by the previous attack, and even the femur of the person in the lead was fractured.


    Under the intense pain, he was unable to move any spiritual energy and could only wail in pain.


    Where was the arrogance he had shown when he first arrived? When he looked at Xiang Yang Li, other than fear, there was only hatred in his eyes.


    They didn''t understand how a person who had been lingering at the first level of Qi Accumulation for five years could suddenly become so strong.


    This was especially true for the janitor disciple that led the group. He felt that Yang Li''s aura was unique and only at the third level of Qi Accumulation. It was unbelievable in his heart, but it was also absurd.


    What a joke, how could someone break through a few bottlenecks all of a sudden and reach the third level? Even the most outstanding genius disciples of the Sky Mist Sect did not have such a heaven-defying talent.


    As for the other service disciple, he looked at Yang Li who was approaching and shouted with a panicked and frightened expression:


    "Don''t come over, we are from Senior-apprentice Brother Wan Hao''s side. Wait until senior-apprentice brother Wan Hao comes, you''re dead!" In the face of absolute power, your little tricks will not be of any use! "


    He also didn''t understand why Yang Li would suddenly become so powerful. However, the facts that laid bare in front of him left him with no choice but to believe. The fear in his heart uncontrollably surged to the surface.


    Yang Li walked forward with a faint smile on his lips. The servant slowly retreated while shouting in surprise. The fear in his heart grew more and more intense.


    His cultivation was the weakest among the three of them. Looking at the way his two senior brothers'' bones and tendons were broken, how could he have the courage to fight Yang Li?


    At this moment, he wished that his parents could grow two more legs so that he could take the opportunity to escape.


    However, as he was retreating, he stumbled on the doorstep.


    The janitor disciple quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. There was no trace of the arrogance he had before.


    At this moment, Yang Li had already arrived at the entrance. He coldly looked at this service disciple and said playfully:


    "You want to leave?"


    "Yes, Senior-apprentice Brother Yang Li, let me go. I didn''t come here because of me, but they did. Wan Hao forced us to come here with you. If it really isn''t my business, then I won''t be able to do anything about it."


    Hearing this, the service disciple was overjoyed. He thought that there was a good show to see, so he quickly explained, ignoring the curses of the other two service disciples.


    "It''s not impossible for me to leave. After all, I, Yang Li, am not a person who would kill."


    Hearing this, the service disciple was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed.


    "However, a death sentence cannot be avoided." Yang Li''s voice suddenly turned ice-cold.


    "As long as you don''t cripple me, I can do anything for you."


    "You don''t need to do things. I like doing my own thing, so you should spend some money to get rid of it. It won''t cost twenty spirit stone slags."


    "Senior Brother, I ¡­" Hearing this, the expression of the service disciple changed slightly.


    "Hmm?" Yang Li''s gaze immediately darkened, and he raised his arm as if about to flare up.


    "No, no, I will give it to Senior Brother, but I only have ten spirit stone slags with me."


    "If not, then I will do it myself." Yang Li did not buy his trick and directly said.


    "I don''t want it. Eighteen. Only eighteen are left. I''ll give the remaining two in a few days. Senior Yang, I don''t have any Spirit Stones left."


    "Scram. Go back and tell Wan Hao that he needs to invite people to come personally. Otherwise, he won''t have any bad ideas!"


    Yang Li received the sparkling and translucent Spirit Stone fragments that were the size of a woman''s fingernail and kicked the servant out of the door as he coldly spoke.


    Yang Li did not even bother to see how the man ended up in such a sorry state as he turned to look at the other two service disciples and gave a cold smile.


    "Are you two planning to get rid of this disaster or what?"


    "Disasters, disasters, we''ll give twenty spirit stone slags."


    The two service disciples gritted their teeth as they quickly said this. Then, they took out spirit stone slags from their lapels.


    The spirit stone slags were the embodiment of the world''s spirit energy and contained an extremely abundant amount of the world''s spirit energy. If used to absorb it, it would have an extremely good supporting effect.


    As a result, spirit stone slags were not only used as cultivation resources in the Sky Mist Sect, but were also used as a benchmark to measure the value of goods traded. They were extremely valuable.


    For Yang Li and the service disciples of the Sky Mist Sect, they only got thirty spirit stone slags every month, so the rarity and value of these spirit stone slags could be imagined.


    At this time, Yang Li''s price was 20 spirit stone slags, which was equivalent to spending the majority of the month''s worth of resources they had painstakingly bought for cultivation. Naturally, they lamented in their hearts.


    However, their strength was currently inferior to Yang Li''s, so they could only pinch their noses and endure. The two of them barely managed to collect 40 spirit stone slags and passed them to Yang Li.


    Seeing Yang Li accept it, they did not care about their injuries and quickly stood up to leave. They did not want to stay here for even a moment longer.


    This brat was a bit strange. He was clearly at the first level of Qi Accumulation for the past five years, yet he was actually able to defeat them with a flip of his hand. It was simply inconceivable.


    "Pah!"


    At this moment, the wooden door was finally unable to withstand the pressure and fell off.


    "Err ¡­"


    The two of them quickly turned their heads and looked at the wooden door. The corners of their mouths twitched, but they were also afraid of looking at Yang Li.


    "I''ll give you thirty spirit stone slags as compensation."


    Yang Li said coldly.


    "This... This wooden door is not worth it ¡­ "


    The hot-tempered service disciple did not have the slightest bit of anger on his face as he spoke with a weak and wronged expression.


    "Hmm? Don''t want to compensate? "


    Yang Li''s eyes turned cold!


    "No, senior Yang, please calm your anger. My junior brother means that we don''t have enough spirit stone slags on us. Why don''t we help him reinstall the spirit stone slags?"


    Yang Li passed two snow-white pieces of paper to them and said indifferently, if you offended Yang Li, how could you let it go so easily? No matter what, he had to shave off a layer of skin.


    The two servants grimaced and clenched their teeth. They bit their fingertips and wrote a blood letter as evidence.


    Blood was a special existence for humans, it contained a unique aura that could not be faked. The words written with fresh blood were also acknowledged by the Sky Mist Sect Law Enforcement Hall.


    After handing over the documents to Yang Li, the two janitor disciples staggered away. However, the unwillingness in their eyes could not be concealed no matter how hard they tried.


    Yang Li didn''t mind this at all. There was an enormous difference in every level of the Qi Accumulation Stage. In the past, he might have been cautious in facing this level.


    But now that his cultivation had soared, he naturally didn''t care about the existence of the second floor. To put it bluntly, he was confident that he could fight as many people as he wanted!


    This was only one of the reasons, the final reason was that this was the Sky Mist Sect after all, it was okay to fight and make a small fuss, if there were any deaths, the Law Enforcement Hall would not be joking.


    Otherwise, Yang Li wouldn''t mind leaving the three of them here forever!


    "Yang Li left?"


    At this time, the round-faced service disciple ran over again and carefully looked at the scene inside. When he didn''t see anyone else, he couldn''t help but ask.


    "Yes." Yang Li nodded and did not hide it.


    "They didn''t find you, did they?" The round-faced service disciple asked with concern.


    "Yes, but I didn''t go with them. I even fought with them for that." Yang Li said calmly.


    "You, muddle-headed, why don''t you go with them? If you can follow Senior Wan Hao and take over the crime, perhaps after the event, Senior Wan Hao will think of a way to save you."


    "Senior Wan Hao will not let this go easily. At that time, your situation will be even more troublesome. Do you think you can fight against Senior Wan Hao?"


    The round-faced service disciple said as if he was speaking to a guest.


    Yang Li''s brow creased as he glanced at the round-faced service disciple.


    With this look, the round-faced service disciple''s heart actually trembled, and he felt a chill down his spine. It was only now that he realized that the person in front of him was the one who chased away the three service disciples at the second level of Qi Accumulation.


    "I... Yang Li... "Whatever, since you''ve already made up your mind, I won''t advise you anymore. Since this is the case, I might as well offend senior apprentice brother Wan Hao. You won''t have a good life in the Alchemy Pavilion."


    He had come here in advance to inform Yang Li that he was prepared and that it would be best if he hid himself. This way, Yang Li would accept his kindness and take the opportunity to obtain a few spirit stone slags.


    But now that he had met with Wan Hao''s underlings, even if he came, it wouldn''t be of any use. The business would naturally fail, so he didn''t say anything.


    "If that''s the case, then I''m leaving. I can''t offend Wan Hao, but I can afford to hide."


    The round-faced service disciple said as he turned to leave.


    "Wait a minute, I''ll give this to you. Consider it as thanking you for risking your life to tell me this news."


    Yang Li gave the eighteen spirit stone slags from the service disciple to the round-faced service disciple.


    The round-faced service disciple took it and glanced at it. His eyes lit up, and without further ado, he left after saying thank you.


    ¡­ ¡­.


    Wan Hao was a service disciple of the Misty Sky Sect''s Alchemy Pavilion. Because he had someone on his head, he was quite famous amongst the service disciples and naturally formed a large group.


    After the Pill Pavilion''s Wan Hao received the news, the anger in his heart flared and he directly kicked that service disciple away.


    Afterwards, he asked the two service disciples that had returned, and after listening to their narration, his expression darkened.


    He had originally thought Yang Li was just an ant in the Qi level. He could easily bring Yang Li to replace him without any trouble.


    However, something like this had happened, making it impossible for him to pull back his hand. After all, his subordinates had been injured. If he did not deal with them now, it would definitely make people''s hearts tremble.


    As Wan Hao thought about this, he personally led everyone to Yang Li''s location, and even brought his own left arm and right shoulder along with him!


    When Wan Hao led a group of disciples to Yang Li''s courtyard, Yang Li just so happened to fix the wooden door, barely able to resist the wind and rain.


    However, before Yang Li could praise his own strength, Wan Hao''s leader savagely kicked open the wooden door.


    That kick was filled with spirit energy, and immediately, the dilapidated wooden door exploded into countless splinters of wood!


    "Yang Li, come out!"

 C4

    "Yang Li, come out!"


    A group of six or seven people rushed in. The one leading them was a gloomy-faced youth. This youth was Wan Hao!


    The person who spoke was a fatty beside him. He wore a bloated dark-green robe and immediately shouted out with a pig-like voice the moment he arrived.


    The moment this voice was heard, the few service disciples behind him all covered their ears and frowned. It was obvious that this voice possessed quite a bit of power.


    As the sound wave spread into the courtyard house, it caused the things within the courtyard to tremble, and the sound of ''Lang Lang'' could not be stopped.


    It was as though an earthquake was occurring, and the tremors didn''t stop.


    "Kill pigs? So noisy! "


    In the center of the sound wave, Yang Li frowned as he shouted coldly.


    Although Yang Li had never learned any martial arts, he was only at the third level of Qi Accumulation. He would naturally not be affected by this sound attack at all.


    But not retaliating was not Yang Li''s character.


    Therefore, when the last ''noisy'' sound was heard, Yang Li concealed his cultivation aura. A tyrannical cultivation aura swept out like a flood!


    It instantly resisted the formless sound wave and even went back to kill, causing a gale to appear in the air!


    Seeing this, the fat man''s pupils constricted. He raised his fist, and a fiery red fist surrounded by a red glow was thrown out, trying to block that aura!


    "Bam!"


    In an instant, the fatty, who was only at the peak of Qi level 2, was pushed back and spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked at Yang Li in shock, as if he had seen a ghost.


    "Qi ¡­" "Third level of Qi Accumulation!"


    "Third level of Qi Accumulation!"


    They naturally did not believe him when they heard the words, but since Fatty was already at the peak of the second level of Qi Accumulation, who else but the third level of Qi Accumulation could defeat him in a single strike?


    Moreover, they could clearly feel that the aura contained within Yang Li''s shout earlier was absolutely not something that a Qi level 2 cultivator could emit!


    This caused everyone to be shocked and filled with disbelief. This person in front of them wasn''t Yang Li? Wasn''t he a waste that had been at the first level of Qi Accumulation for five years?


    How did it suddenly become an existence at the third level of Qi Accumulation?


    "I thought so. So you actually broke through the third layer. But do you think that you can run rampant among the service disciples after breaking through the third layer?"


    The youth in the lead dispelled the fatty''s momentum and stared at Yang Li instead, his gaze dark and cold as he spoke.


    "I do not dare to say it, but it is enough to protect myself."


    Seeing that he had seen through Yang Li, he did not intend to hide anything and spoke frankly.


    The meaning of Yang Li''s words was that it would be hard to defeat the servant disciples, but against all of you, it was enough to place himself above them!


    "How dare you!"


    "Bastard!"


    "You don''t know what''s good for you!"


    All of the service disciples shouted out angrily as their eyes were bloodshot. They glared at Yang Li, almost spitting out their anger.


    It was as if it wanted to swallow Yang Li alive.


    Wan Hao, who was in the lead, was so angry that his entire body was trembling. A fiery red light constantly flickered around his body. He was clearly angered by Yang Li.


    A mere service disciple of the third level had actually dared to speak to him in such a manner. It was obvious that he did not place Wan Hao in his eyes, and he was not afraid of losing his tongue!


    "Arrogant!"


    Beside Wan Hao, a tall and sturdy youth had a face full of anger. He snorted coldly and took a step forward. He stared coldly at Yang Li, his body emitting a terrifying aura.


    An aura that was at the middle of the third level was unquestionably revealed, forming an invisible pressure that fiercely suppressed Xiang Yang.


    In a split-second, a violent gust of wind appeared out of nowhere in the sky, causing everyone to make loud swishing noises as the chairs in the house started to shake.


    "Beat him up, Senior Brother Xu!"


    "Elder Brother Xu, please teach this arrogant fellow a lesson. Let him know that there is a heaven above the heavens!"


    As Elder Brother Xu, who was at the third level of Qi Accumulation, stood out, the service disciples at the first or second level began to clamor one after another. Their faces were full of indignation and indignation.


    However, Wan Hao didn''t say anything, so the tall and sturdy youth naturally wouldn''t casually make a move. He had been instructed by Wan Hao just now. After all, he was Wan Hao''s subordinate, or perhaps his Follower!


    The reason why Wan Hao didn''t say anything was because Yang Li currently took out a plate. The plate was only half the size of a palm and there were strange patterns engraved on it.


    Everyone was familiar with this medallion, and everyone had it. This was the identity medallion of a Sky Mist Sect disciple. Yang Li held the medallion and said:


    "Why do you want to spar?" "That''s a good idea, but I just don''t know how we''re going to deal with the Law Enforcement Hall."


    In an instant, everyone''s expressions turned ugly as if they had eaten a dead rat. Especially the service disciple who had raised such a ruckus earlier. It was as if someone had grabbed onto their necks. His face flushed red, and they were unable to speak.


    The Tian Lan Sect''s identity token was the Heavenly Mist Sect disciple''s identity token, and it was also the method to contact the Law Enforcement Squadron!


    The Law Enforcement Hall was a sect''s hell, so no one wanted to go.


    If the law enforcement team arrived and saw them, a group of service disciples, making trouble in the courtyard, they would definitely bring them into the Law Enforcement Hall.


    This was against the rules of the sect. Even the people above Wan Hao couldn''t protect him.


    Wan Hao''s face also became livid. This kid first hid his cultivation, and now he injured three of his subordinates, forcing him to personally come and take revenge.


    After arriving, not only was he rude, he even pushed Law Enforcement Hall to suppress him, making Wan Hao unable to advance or retreat.


    He must not offend the Law Enforcement Hall. However, he must find a way to deal with the disciples behind him, and he must not lose face here.


    In this difficult situation, Wan Hao''s hatred for Yang Li had already reached the skies. He wished that he could immediately grind Yang Li''s bones and scatter his ashes to relieve the hatred in his heart!


    "Yang Li, do you think I''m afraid of moving out of the Law Enforcement Hall?" Three of my men were injured by you, how are you going to explain this? The people from the Law Enforcement Hall are doing the same! "


    All of a sudden, an idea flashed across Wan Hao''s mind. A cold light shot out from his eyes as he shouted.


    "Your men? Where? Today, I, Yang, have always been in the institution. I have only injured two thieves who stole things.


    Yang Li said in surprise, looking at Wan Hao as if he were an idiot.


    "You! "What a sharp toothed kid."


    Wan Hao immediately became angry upon hearing this. It was impossible for him to do anything under those underlings, and Yang Li''s glib words could not even win against ten of them. Gritting his teeth, he hatefully said:


    "Yang Li, I want to use this chance to challenge you!"


    "You? Are you sure you can challenge me? "


    Yang Li glanced at Wan Hao in disdain. A challenge chance was an opportunity that every disciple of the Sky Mist Sect had once every year, and it had to be used up every year!


    In addition, there was a rule that one couldn''t challenge someone with a lower cultivation base, and the person being challenged had to accept it. Otherwise, the chances of his challenge would increase!


    Their goal was to whip the sect disciples and prevent them from being lazy.


    And Yang Li''s words were undoubtedly extremely sarcastic towards Wan Hao, making Wan Hao lose face in front of so many subordinates. Wan Hao was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, his chest violently heaved up and down, and his gloomy face was a bit flushed red.


    He, Wan Hao, had never suffered such humiliation among the service disciples before? If not for his fear of the Law Enforcement Hall, he really wanted to tear that evil mouth of his to shreds!


    "Senior Wan, let me do it."


    The tall and sturdy youth standing beside Wan Hao stepped forward to help him. He was Wan Hao''s left arm and right shoulder, and was usually the scapegoat for Wan Hao. He had solved many of the troubles for Wan Hao and was highly valued by him.


    Wan Hao looked at the youth, nodded and said, "Alright, I''ll leave it to your junior brother Xu."


    "Heh, don''t worry senior brother, just watch how I break the hands and feet of this arrogant disciple!"


    The youth confidently said. Then, he turned around to look at Yang Li with a cold glint in his eyes and said:


    "Yang Li, I, Xu Sheng, want to challenge you. I''m going to use this chance to challenge you. If you''re at the early third level of Qi Accumulation, then we''ll admit defeat."


    Xu Sheng was Wan Hao''s only 3rd level Qi level follower. He was not weak either, at the middle of 3rd level, which was why he spoke like this.


    After all, two fists could not even contend with four hands. He had just advanced to the third floor, and if a battle were to occur here, with Wan Hao, who was at the peak of the third floor, eyeing him covetously, even Yang Li would be at a disadvantage.


    In the Challenge Battlestage, he could wholeheartedly focus on dealing with his opponent, just to confirm Yang Li''s cultivation that had just risen. He would like to see just how strong he was!


    It could even take away one of Wan Hao''s arms. After all, the two were at the point of enmity. If they could weaken each other''s strength, then that would be considered a big difference.


    "This challenge isn''t a small matter, but before that happens, we still have to settle some debts."


    Yang Li shook his head and slowly continued.


    "What account?" What debt do I owe you? " Wan Hao said impatiently.


    "We didn''t have any at first, but when you entered this place, you already had this debt. Senior Martial Brother Wan, you took your men to break into the courtyard and damaged my wooden door. Are you not going to compensate me?"


    "Wood door? Yang Li, don''t go too far! "


    Wan Hao turned around to look. The stone door had already been broken. This could be big or small, but a mere wooden door actually needed him to compensate?


    Wan Hao was immediately furious. However, when he saw Yang Li stroking the identity token, the corner of his mouth twitched. After all, he was the one who was in the wrong. He coldly said:


    "Take ten spirit stone slags. It won''t be this easy in the future!"


    Yang Li impolitely received the ten spirit stone slags, then said:


    "Ten spirit stone slags?" Brother Wan, where are you sending the beggars? "


    "How much do you want?"


    "One hundred pills!"


    "Don''t be unsatisfied, you won''t be able to swallow it yourself!"


    Wan Hao took a deep breath, suppressing his burning anger. His eyes were cold and cold, like a venomous snake staring at Yang Li.


    "You don''t need to worry about that. In any case, I''m not hungry." Yang Li said with a fearless face.


    Wan Hao still wanted to speak, but he was stopped by the burly youth, Xu Sheng. He knew that if he continued to talk nonsense with Yang Li, the final ones to be angered would be them.


    "What a sharp tongue, give him the spirit stones, I hope you can still speak like that later."


    He then spoke to the service disciples behind him, and finally looked at Yang Li coldly and fiercely.


    If Wan Hao was the leader of their team, then Xu Sheng was the vice leader.


    The janitor disciples immediately gathered together and barely managed to gather a hundred spirit stone slags before giving them to Yang Li.


    "Let''s go!"


    At this moment, Wan Hao didn''t want to stay in the courtyard for even a second. As soon as he entered, he felt extremely unlucky and wished he could burn this place down.


    "Senior Brother Wan, you''ve worked so hard to send me the spirit stones. Why don''t you drink a cup of tea and rest up?" I have good tea here. "


    Yang Li received the spirit stone slags and said to Wan Hao, who had left.


    "I hope the hundred spirit stone slags will be enough for you to buy spiritual herbs to heal your wounds."


    Wan Hao said coldly. He didn''t turn his head back as he led the group towards the Challenge Battlestage. He didn''t want to wait a moment longer.


    Yang Li laughed coldly before regaining his calm. He calculated that Yang Li had obtained a hundred and fifty-eight spirit stone slags today.


    After deducting eighteen spirit stone slags from the round-faced service disciple and adding Yang Li''s original twenty-five, he had a total of 165. This was not counting the thirty spirit stone slags he had received from the receipt.


    Yang Li could now be considered to have a small amount of wealth. After all, an ordinary disciple wouldn''t be able to have more than 30 a month.


    ¡­ ¡­.


    There were hundreds of thousands of disciples in the Sky Mist Sect, there were naturally many challengers. Of course, Yang left the arena as it belonged to the service disciples.


    After several tea''s time, Yang Li had already arrived at the Challenge Battlestage. There wasn''t much traffic here, but it wasn''t small either. There were still several thousand people here.


    When Yang Li arrived, Wan Hao''s group had already occupied a battlestage. They were looking at Yang Li with cold, provoking gazes.

 C5

    The incident at the Yang Li courtyard had made all of them feel a surge of anger. If it weren''t for the strict rules of the sect, they would have started a gang fight.


    "Yang Li, I thought you ran away in fear, but you''re so slow." Some disciples mocked.


    "It''s all because you kids are too anxious."


    Yang Li''s expression did not change as he slowly walked past the crowd towards the arena. The words that came out of his mouth could poison a person to death.


    This caused the disciple''s expression to stiffen. His face was ashen, and he could only curse in a low voice. In terms of strength, he was only at the terrifying third level of Yang Li.


    The Challenge Battlestage was a 100 foot arena that was built from solid limestone. It was said that it could withstand an attack from a Qi level 4 and was not bad, making it incomparably sturdy.


    On the high platform, the young man Xu Sheng was already standing. He glared at Yang Li, who had ascended the stage, and said:


    "It''s finally here."


    Yang Li''s expression remained calm without a single trace of nervousness. He ignored the youth''s words and instead bowed towards a young man in a blue robe who was by the side of the arena and said:


    "Yang Li greets senior brother."


    "Yes."


    The blue robed young man nodded indifferently. He turned his sharp gaze towards Yang Li and Xu Sheng and said:


    "Intermediate stage of the third level of Qi Accumulation, Xu Sheng, will you really accept the challenge of Yang Li, who is also of the middle of the third level of Qi Accumulation?"


    "Accept." Yang Li replied.


    "Alright, give me your identity token."


    When the blue-robed young man heard this, he nodded his head and withdrew his gaze. After he received the identity tokens of Xu Sheng and Yang Li, he made a strange hand gesture and simultaneously said:


    "Alright, the challenge begins!"


    The moment the blue-robed young man finished speaking, a scorching wave of spirit energy rose up from the field, as if a great fire was raging and burning in the arena. The heatwave was extremely oppressive!


    If there was grass within, it would also turn into a withered yellow color before igniting into flames and turning into ashes!


    That was Xu Sheng''s terrifying spiritual power. At this moment, his entire body was surrounded by a scarlet glow and his pair of ice-cold eyes were dyed red. It was as if a ball of fire was burning within.


    A tyrannical aura spread out, and even the arena was unable to block it. It was like a violent wind that swept in all directions, causing many people nearby to cast their gazes over.


    After all, although there were many arenas, the challenge of a third layer Qi Accumulation stage was also very rare. Many people rushed over, wanting to see the competition between the disciples of the third floor, hoping to comprehend some of the mysteries of the third floor.


    Among them, there were a few sharp-eyed service disciples who saw Xu Sheng''s strange movements and terrifying aura. Some of them cried out in alarm,


    "Eyes with fire! Spiritual energy red! That''s a second-rate fire attribute cultivation technique!"


    "Looking at those Spiritual Energy fluctuations, they are already at the middle of the third level of Qi Accumulation. Their Spiritual Energy density is even comparable to some disciples at the peak of the middle third level who cultivate third-rate techniques. They are truly amazing."


    ¡­ ¡­.


    They were all staring at their opponents. Since Xu Sheng had already unleashed his aura, he naturally wouldn''t waste any time.


    His feet moved again and again, and his sturdy physique rapidly rushed towards Yang Li, a red light with a scorching Qi swirling around it, his fist whistling through the air!


    The fist wind was like a howling gale, rapid and sharp enough to cut through the air without end, and Xu Sheng was very satisfied with his punch.


    From his point of view, his explosive punch was already able to easily exterminate an early third level Qi Accumulation stage existence. Even a middle or late stage third level Qi Accumulation disciple would have to treat it with rapt attention.


    After all, this was a second-rate cultivation method, and the spirit energy it produced wasn''t something third-rate cultivation methods could compare to. As for Yang Li, having a third-rate cultivation method was already quite good.


    As Xu Sheng thought this, Yang Li also began to move. He also began to circulate his martial skill, the ''Heart of Flame''. A faint yellow light began to encircle his body, and a scorching aura began to emanate from him.


    In addition to the dense Spiritual Energy, his aura was not any weaker than Xu Sheng''s. A pale yellow light circulated around his fist as he charged directly at the scarlet fist without any fancy moves!


    "An unconventional cultivation method has actually been cultivated to the middle of the third floor? How is that possible?"


    "No matter what, every level is a great difference in cultivation methods. Now that they are at the same level, when second-rate and unconventional cultivation methods are compared, the result is certain. That tall and sturdy youth will win for sure."


    Upon seeing this, the Misty Sky Sect disciples below cried out in alarm, their expressions no longer as interested in watching the show as if they had already expected the final result.


    Wan Hao''s group, who had been watching from the side, all had happy looks on their faces. They all let out sighs of relief in their hearts. It seemed that they had been too careless and worried about the heavens.


    Servant disciples were cheering and shouting, calling out Xu Sheng''s might, cheering, suppressing Yang Li and the like.


    Wan Hao didn''t stop him. Instead, he revealed a smile. Watching the show peacefully had a certain conclusion for him. After all, there were some obstacles that were hard to overcome.


    When Xu Sheng saw the color of Yang Li''s spiritual power, he couldn''t help but laugh in his heart. How could such an existence fight against him?


    He was afraid that after this punch of his, this arrogant brat would become a meat patty.


    However, Xu Sheng felt that he had been humiliated to the extreme by the fact that such a weak third layer of Qi Accumulation had caused them to successively be humiliated.


    The corner of his mouth revealed a sneer and cruelty, but his eyes became even colder. The strength of his fist did not decrease, instead, it increased as it went straight for Yang Li.


    However, what happened the next moment made him think that he was hallucinating. What happened next made everyone dumbstruck and incredulous.


    "Bam!"


    On the high platform, the two fists collided in the air, and the muffled sound of flesh colliding was heard as a violent wave of spirit energy swept out!


    Previous Chapter Next Chapter "Boom!"


    In a split-second, the scorching heat in the air surged crazily. The temperature of the entire arena had risen by several folds, and the terrifying power caused the two people on the stage to be pushed back.


    "A draw!"


    "How is this possible?"


    "How can there be such a dense Spiritual Energy when one cultivates an unconventional cultivation technique?"


    "To think that it would be comparable to a second-rate cultivation technique. How can this be?"


    Everyone''s eyes were wide open as they stared at the two people onstage as they muttered to themselves. Their expressions were filled with disbelief.


    "This Yang Li must have eaten pills. Otherwise, how could a person who cultivates an unconventional cultivation method have such dense Spiritual Energy?"


    "He must have eaten a medicinal pill. No wonder he delayed coming over. He must have taken the chance to eat it to temporarily increase his spiritual energy!"


    All of a sudden, the janitor disciples looked as if they had found an excuse and started to speak. As soon as these words left their mouths, everyone began to agree.


    After all, the scene before their eyes was truly unbelievable. Other than the method to consume the pill, they couldn''t think of any other method. Moreover, they were all service disciples of the Pill Pavilion, so it wasn''t strange for them to have some pills.


    They paid no attention to the two people on the stage. Their eyes were all glued to the screen, and their thoughts were all different.


    Yang Li was elated. He hadn''t thought that after breaking through to the third floor, his own spiritual energy would be so dense. It had actually crossed the natural barrier between second-rate and unconventional cultivation methods.


    It was the mysterious space!


    A thought flashed through Yang Li''s mind as he cautiously faced Xu Sheng. Although his strength was similar to Xu Sheng''s, the battle would not be easy.


    As for Xu Sheng''s heart, it was filled with disbelief and an indescribable rage. He had never thought that a person who cultivated an unconventional cultivation technique could actually be on par with someone who practiced second-rate cultivation techniques.


    How was this possible?


    Xu Sheng felt extremely uncomfortable as he felt that his second-rate cultivation technique was useless.


    "He must have consumed some medicinal pills. All of them have their own medicinal effects. As long as I can stall for time and let his medicinal effects pass, won''t I still be able to handle them?"


    As Xu Sheng thought this, the heaviness in his eyes faded, turning into self-confidence.


    In the end, the weak were still the weak. Even if they were lucky enough to become strong, it would only be for a short period of time. They were always searching for a way to take advantage of the weak.


    This was Xu Sheng''s assessment of Yang Li. He didn''t say anything as he charged toward Yang Li.


    He wanted to stimulate Yang Li and force him to make a move so that he could consume his spirit energy faster and reach the limit of the effects of the pill. At that time, it would be his turn, Xu Sheng.


    "Boom boom!"


    The two of them were constantly dodging and evading in the arena, from east to west, moving at an extremely fast speed. The disciples at the first level of Qi Accumulation were unable to see their figures clearly.


    A violent gale swept through the area as the crimson and pale yellow Spiritual Energy filled the air. It was as if it was being roasted on a scorching summer day.


    It was unknown how many hundreds of strikes the two had exchanged, but when the two colored spiritual energy dispersed from the stage, it was reborn, making it impossible for people to see through the scene inside.


    Every time Xu Sheng would force Yang Li to act, he would be forced to split apart the moment he touched Yang Li. However, every time he was forced to act, Yang Li would press against him, forcing Xu Sheng to act in a serious manner.


    Even though Xu Sheng tried to consume as little of his spiritual power as possible, Yang Li still forced him to use up most of his spiritual power.


    On the other hand, Yang Li''s every move was an all-out, all-out strike that contained the full power of the third level of Qi storage.


    However, even after spending so much spirit energy, Yang Li didn''t show the slightest sign of fatigue. This caused Xu Sheng to feel extremely frustrated, and the thoughts in his mind began to waver.


    "Bam!"


    Yang Li and Xu Sheng''s fists clashed again. The collision of scarlet and pale yellow sent the two flying once more, separated for a short period of time.


    Yang Li''s breathing quickened, but his eyes revealed an expression of joy. In the battle just now, Yang Li already had a grasp of his own strength.


    Because of his extremely dense spiritual energy, he could definitely suppress most people at the middle of the third level of Qi Accumulation. Even the weaker people at the late of third level could fight him!


    This was the confidence that came from Yang Li and Xu Sheng!


    On the other hand, Xu Sheng was breathing heavily as he glared at Yang Li. He felt as if he was about to spew fire, his eyes filled with rage and disbelief.


    Xu Sheng practiced a second-rate cultivation technique and was an extremely powerful existence even in the middle of the third level of Qi Accumulation. Even the average late third level disciple would not dare to provoke him.


    And now, he was actually forced to the point of almost exhausting his spirit energy by a kid who cultivated an unconventional technique. The crux of the matter was that he still hadn''t used up that kid''s spirit energy even after facing such a situation.


    The rage in Xu Sheng''s heart burned as well as a faint fear that he would be defeated by the unknown Yang Li.


    If that were the case, then he, Xu Sheng, would definitely die. He would never be able to raise his head again amongst the disciples.


    "This cannot continue. That brat''s Spiritual Energy is too dense. If this goes on, I will definitely be the one to die. Since you took the pill, don''t blame me for taking it too."


    Xu Sheng made up his mind and gritted his teeth, using the thought of taking the pill. In his opinion, Yang Li also took the pill, so this wasn''t considered bullying.


    His hand brushed past his chest, and he put a medicinal pill into his mouth without leaving a trace. In an instant, Xu Sheng''s already weakened aura abruptly increased, becoming much stronger than it was during his all-out victory.


    Sensing that his entire body was brimming with energy, Xu Sheng''s mouth curved into a cruel and confident smile.

    Xu Sheng believed that he would definitely be the last one to emerge victorious after consuming the pill. No matter what method Yang Li used, he would disintegrate into dust under his absolute strength!


    Xu Sheng was confident but not arrogant. For this reason, he had even executed the only martial art technique he knew.


    When the two methods were used together, even an expert at the late third level of Qi Accumulation would have the confidence to fight him. As for Yang Li, he didn''t think much of him.


    With a low shout, the Spiritual Energy within Xu Sheng''s body surged out. With the mindset of not stalling for time and exhausting Yang Li''s Spiritual Qi, he charged forward and aimed a palm at Yang Li, wanting to send him flying.


    "Spirit Flame Palm!"


    All of a sudden, an ear-splitting sound could be heard from the arena as a searing red glow erupted from within the scorching spiritual energy.


    A violent and scorching aura spread out. Even though it was separated by the defensive barrier of the arena, the people below the stage still felt a kind of oppressive heat!


    Faced with Xu Sheng''s sudden burst of power, Yang Li''s expression did not change, but his gaze turned solemn.


    Yang Li could clearly feel the power contained within this palm strike, it was definitely not something he could withstand. After all, Yang Li was just a spiritual force, he wasn''t that strong.


    Yang Li would be able to withstand a few attacks if he had martial arts. However, Yang Li was merely at the first level of Qi Accumulation in the past and did not have the opportunity to even come into contact with martial arts. Naturally, he would not be able to grasp any martial arts now.


    Since he could not fight them head on, he might as well avoid them for now. There was no need to use his weaknesses to clash with others'', this was not something a wise man could do.


    Yang Li''s advantage lay in his dense spirit energy. He wasn''t worried about his spirit energy drying up, so Yang Li''s footsteps continued to speed up as he used his spirit energy to push his own speed to the limit.


    Previous Chapter Next Chapter "Boom!"


    The extremely powerful Spiritual Flames Palm had struck nothing but air. Even the air had been distorted by the scorching heat; it was extremely terrifying.


    Xu Sheng did not give up after the first strike. On the contrary, he revealed an expression of surprise. Yang Li''s strength was still far from his, but he had relied on the elixir to survive until now.


    From Xu Sheng''s point of view, he believed that Yang Li would lose the effectiveness of the pill after he consumed it. No matter what, Xu Sheng was confident that he would win.


    As he thought of this, the malevolence on Xu Sheng''s face became even more apparent. The Spiritual Energy within his body howled as he continuously struck out with the Spirit Flames Palm in his hand.


    "Boom boom boom!"


    A series of explosions rang out in the arena as Xu Sheng released his spiritual power without using any cost. His Spirit Flames Palm continued to be used as a scorching wave of heat enveloped the entire arena, bringing it all the way to an astonishing level.


    At this time, Yang Li was just like a spiritual energy that had been picked up. He also unrestrainedly rained down, increasing his speed to his fastest as he dodged Xu Sheng''s Spiritual Flame Palm.


    In the end, when both sides had been entangled for who knows how long and Yang Li could clearly feel the power of Xu Sheng''s palm grow weaker, his eyebrows raised and he didn''t even try to dodge as he punched out.


    "Bam!"


    In the blink of an eye, under Xu Sheng''s astonished gaze, he was actually sent flying back by Yang Li''s fist. His face was flushed red and blood leaked out from the corner of his mouth.


    "How is this possible?"


    Xu Sheng muttered absentmindedly. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at Yang Li. Then, he shouted,


    "This is impossible!"


    Xu Sheng leapt up and gathered all the strength in his body as he spoke. He struck a palm at Yang Li with great power, but not enough power.


    "This is the truth. Nothing is impossible."


    Yang Li''s expression did not change. Facing this palm, he directly punched out. Yang Li had the support of dense spirit energy, his strength was not weaker than the ones that just came on stage.


    With a single punch, he shattered Xu Sheng''s Spiritual Flames Palm and even kicked him down from the stage.


    Below the stage, a group of Heavenly Mist Sect disciples who were watching the battle were completely dumbfounded.


    Could it be that he didn''t consume the pill? Was there really such a powerful unconventional cultivation technique?


    While their thoughts were turning, the blue-robed Sky Mist Sect disciple gently leaped onto the battlestage. He glanced at Xu Sheng, who had collapsed below the platform, and said:


    "The winner of this challenge, Yang Li!"


    As the blue-robed youth finished speaking, he began to make seals and record some information into the identity token in his hand. Then, he tossed it to Yang Li and Xu Sheng.


    Yang Li took the order badge and respectfully thanked the young disciple. Then, he left the stage.


    Below the stage, Xu Sheng''s face was filled with unwillingness as he glared at Yang Li. Up until now, he still couldn''t believe that he had actually lost to Yang Li.


    This caused Xu Sheng to feel extremely embarrassed and indignant. When he saw the crowd looking at him with strange gazes, he wanted to immediately trample on Yang Li and wash away his shame.


    But now that he had lost so much spiritual energy, and because of Yang Li''s previous punch, the blood in his body was boiling. He was actually unable to move for a moment, causing his identity token to fall to the ground and not be picked up.


    "Senior apprentice-brother!"


    "Senior brother Xu."


    Wan Hao and the other disciples hastily walked over. When they saw Xu Sheng on the ground, they immediately ran over to help him up. At the same time, they also picked up the identity token.


    "Yang Li, I, Xu Sheng, will remember today''s humiliation, he ¡­"


    "Still not leaving? Isn''t it embarrassing enough? "


    Xu Sheng glared venomously at Yang Li. Before he could finish his words, Wan Hao impatiently interrupted him.


    Seeing that Wan Hao was truly angry, the group of service disciples didn''t dare to resist and left with Xu Sheng. Xu Sheng didn''t say anything either and only glared hatefully at Yang Li.


    In Xu Sheng''s mind, if it weren''t for Yang Li, he wouldn''t have acted this way. He would have been able to perform in front of Wan Hao and become even more highly valued by him.


    However, all of this was destroyed by Yang Li. Xu Sheng hated Yang Li to the bones. To some extent, he hated Yang Li even more than Wan Hao.


    "Yang Li, I''ll remember you. As long as I''m not promoted to an outer disciple, and as long as I''m still in the Pill Pavilion, you just wait and see!"


    Wan Hao, who was in the crowd, finally swept his cold gaze over Yang Li. His words were filled with vengeance.


    Outer sect disciples, in terms of status, were a level higher than the service disciples like Yang Li. Their strength needed to be at least at the fourth level of Qi Accumulation to be able to take on this position.


    It was clear that Yang Li had completely offended Wan Hao this time. However, Yang Li did not care about this. He looked at their departing figures and chuckled.


    "Then I''ll wait, I just hope that I won''t get promoted to an outer court disciple before you."


    "Humph!"


    Wan Hao snorted coldly without turning his head. He really didn''t have the face to look back, nor did he have the face to stay here any longer.


    Just like this, under the gazes of everyone present, the group of people dejectedly left. Compared to their arrogance from before, it was a very clear contrast.


    As Yang Li watched them leave, his smile disappeared and a cold light flashed in his eyes. If it wasn''t for the rules of the sect, Yang Li would have killed Xu Sheng and eliminated Wan Hao forever.


    After all, there was no longer any possibility of reconciliation between him and Wan Hao!


    In that last battle, Yang Li had gained a deep understanding of his own strength. At the same time, he was also aware of his own shortcomings as well as his own strengths.


    The strength of his own spiritual energy and the length of his aura were undoubtedly the major advantages, but he was not able to see through the strength of his own attacks.


    If Yang Li had an extremely powerful offensive martial art, his fight with Xu Sheng would be extremely easy. He could even solve the problem in a few moves.


    And every disciple in the Sky Mist Sect who advanced to the second level of Qi Accumulation would have the chance to receive a martial art manual for free.


    Yang Li''s strength had already reached the 3rd level of Qi Accumulation. In addition to his deep understanding of his own flaws, Yang Li naturally wouldn''t waste this opportunity.


    After half a day, Yang Li arrived in front of a nine story pavilion. The tower was extremely tall and complex runes were repeated on every floor. They emitted a powerful and terrifying aura, making it so that no one dared to look down on them.


    This pavilion was Yang Li''s current goal. The location where the sect collected all sorts of mystical martial arts techniques was known as the Scripture Pavilion!


    This was an important place within the sect, and it was heavily guarded. It was also the holy land in the hearts of the many Sky Mist Sect disciples.


    At this time, the Scripture Pavilion was filled with janitor disciples in dark green robes, outer disciples in blue robes, and even inner disciples in white robes!


    Although there were many people, they were all silent and no one dared to be impudent. They all respectfully came to retrieve their Mysterious Techniques and martial arts before respectfully leaving as well.


    Although it was Yang Li''s first time here, he knew of some of the rules and did not act presumptuously here. He obediently arrived at the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion.


    There was an old man sitting cross-legged. His hair and beard were completely white, but his skin was as tender as an infant''s. Clearly, he was an extremely powerful elder in the sect.


    Every disciple of the Sky Mist Sect respectfully bowed as they passed by. Yang Li was no exception as he bowed and said:


    "Disciple Yang Li from the Pill Refining Pavilion, has come to retrieve a martial art."


    "Token."


    The old man didn''t even open his eyes as he calmly said.


    Yang Li respectfully handed over his disciple identity token. After the elder received it, he touched it and with a flash of light, he seemed to have received some information. He tossed the identity token aside and said casually:


    Martial arts are on the first floor. You can choose them yourself. After selecting them, use your spirit energy to enter your identity token and copy the information.


    "Thank you, senior."


    Yang Li received the identity token and walked directly into the Scripture Pavilion. The moment he entered, it was as if he had entered another world.


    There were rows and rows of martial arts that were radiating with spiritual light, as well as some first-rate or second-rate profound arts. Every single one of them was emitting an attractive force, making people want to stay there and absorb all of the profound arts.

    Zhang Ruochen did not have any change in her mood. She faintly said, "Then congratulations to cousin. From now on, we can be considered to have a couple."


    After she finished saying those words, Zhang Ruochen turned around and left.


    It was the first time that they had met. Zhang Ruochen did not have any good impressions toward this beautiful and moving younger cousin. Thus, she did not say anything more. Thus, he left in a somewhat bored manner.


    Seeing that Zhang Ruochen did not react at all, the young cultivators of the Lin Clan were all greatly disappointed.


    ''How could this be?! ''


    Seeing that Zhang Ruochen didn''t seem to care, Lin Shan felt a little disappointed. Staring at the back of Zhang Ruochen, she said unwillingly, "Don''t you want to know the reason?"


    Just as she finished speaking, Zhang Ruochen saw Lin Fei walk out from the Lin Residence''s inner courtyard.


    Lin Fei''s eyes were slightly red. It was obvious that she had just cried. Although her tears had already dried, how could she hide from Zhang Ruochen?


    Zhang Ruochen immediately went up to greet her mother and asked with deep concern, "Mother, what happened to you? Who bullied you?"


    Lin Fei shook her head. "It''s nothing. Let''s go back!"


    Seeing Lin Fei''s appearance, how could she possibly be fine?!


    After meeting Lin Kan Shan, Zhang Ruochen did not have a good impression of the Lin family.


    Seeing Lin Fei''s current state, Zhang Ruochen had even less of a good impression of the Lin Clan.


    "Wait!"


    Lin Fengxian walked out of the inner courtyard with his hands behind his back. He glanced at Zhang Ruochen for a moment, then took out an ancient beast skin book from his sleeves and said, "This is a set of low-rank Mortal Realm cultivation technique. It can open up seven meridians, and even if it is not a profound cultivation technique, it can at least cleanse your body and breakthrough your meridians. It should be enough for you."


    Soon after, Lin Fengxian ordered someone to bring out two portions of Marrow Washing Spirit Liquid. He coldly said, "After all, you have the bloodline of our Lin Clan on you. Take these two portions as well!"


    Lin Fei stared deeply at Lin Fengxian and revealed a grateful expression. She immediately pulled Zhang Ruochen''s hand and said, "Chen''er, hurry up and thank uncle."


    Zhang Ruochen looked at Lin Fengxian''s forgiving appearance and felt extremely displeased in her heart. No wonder her mother''s eyes were red. She reckoned that her mother had humiliated her mother in front of him in order to obtain a cultivation technique from him.


    "There''s no need for the Lin Family to give us charity, mother! Let''s go!"


    Zhang Ruochen did not even look at the cultivation technique and marrow cleansing solution that Lin Fengxian took out, she just pulled Lin Fei away from the Lin Residence.


    "To not care about face, you actually think of yourself as a prince." All of the young warriors of the Lin Clan snorted with cold smiles.


    Lin Shan stared at the teenager who had walked out of the Lin Residence with determination, feeling even more surprised. She kept feeling that her young and weak cousin seemed to be different.


    Lin Shan sighed and returned to the training field, continuing her practice.


    Exiting the Lin Residence, Lin Fei said: "Chen''er, you are too rash. "As long as you can become a warrior and use martial arts to strengthen your body, it doesn''t matter how much grievance my mother will suffer."


    Zhang Ruochen stood up straight as she turned around to look at the golden plaque that had the words "Lin Mansion" imprinted on it. She said in a serious tone: "Mother, don''t worry, even without the Lin Family''s charity, I will still be able to become a martial artist, and an expert amongst martial practitioners at that."


    Lin Fei sighed softly and stopped talking. Suddenly, she thought of something and said, "Chen''er, you already know that Ke Shan and the Seventh Prince are getting engaged, right? You better not be too sad!"


    Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, "Mother, you don''t have to worry. There are many good women in this world. There are always better women than Lin Hanshan."


    "If you think this way, mother will truly be at ease." Lin Fei said with a pleased smile.


    Returning to the Cloud Martial Palace, Zhang Ruochen consumed the last Blood Pill and entered the space within the space crystal before she started to practice the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts again.


    When he was exhausted, he sat down to take a short rest.


    "Sooner or later, I will make the Lin Family pay double the price for the humiliation mother suffered in the Lin Family. "Three years ago, I had to find an opportunity to ask Sister Yun''er about what happened. Of course, my priority now is to reach the middle stage of the Huangji Realm as soon as possible."


    In order to reach the middle stage of the Yellow Extreme Realm, one must consume the Marrow Washing Spirit Liquid.


    The price of a portion of Marrow Washing Spirit Liquid was at least two hundred silver coins.


    Two hundred silver coins was not a small sum to Zhang Ruochen.


    Furthermore, he was cultivating the Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture. If he wanted to break through to the middle stage of the Huangji Realm, one portion of Marrow Washing Spirit Liquid was definitely not enough.


    "Got it!"


    Zhang Ruochen slapped her forehead as she silently cursed herself for being too stupid. Even though she possessed a huge treasury, she still spent her time and effort to earn silver coins.


    It had to be known that in his previous life, he was the son of the Ming Emperor. He had flipped through many high grade cultivation and martial skills, and they were all memorized in his mind.


    The [Clear Sky Emperor''s Scripture] and the Dragon Elephant''s Great Wisdom Fist were of the Divine Grimoire tier in the entire Kunlun Realm. Naturally, they could not be used to sell these treasures.


    In his memories, there were also other low grade cultivation methods and martial skills. If he were to casually take out any one of them, it would cause quite a sensation in the entire Yunwu Prefecture.


    Zhang Ruochen immediately found a piece of paper and a brush and wrote down a Spirit Level Martial Skill, the "Heavenly Heart Sword Technique".


    The Heavenly Heart Sword Technique was the lowest grade martial skill in Zhang Ruochen''s memories.


    Spiritual lower tier.


    "Inferior Spirit Level Martial Skills can be considered top Martial Skills in the entire Yunwu Prefecture. Even for a large clan like the Lin Clan, the most powerful Martial Skills are probably the lower Spirit Level Martial Skills. Moreover, there are at most one or two sets of them."


    One had to know, in the State of Yunwu, many martial artists did not have the chance to cultivate martial skills. Even a low rank Mortal Realm martial skill was an amazing treasure to them.


    The lowest priced low rank Mortal Realm martial skills would sell for at least three hundred silver coins. Some powerful low rank Mortal Realm martial skills could even sell for more than a thousand silver coins. Ordinary martial arts rogue cultivators couldn''t afford them. Some warriors didn''t even hesitate to fight with their lives on the line for a low rank Mortal Realm martial skill.


    As for low grade Spirit Level Martial Skills, once they were sold, even the Patriarchs of large families would be extremely excited. They would buy them back no matter the cost.


    With another Spirit Level Martial Skill, the family''s foundation would be increased by a large amount.


    After writing down the cultivation method of the Heavenly Heart Sword Technique, Zhang Ruochen drew out a small diagram of each and every sword move on the paper.


    Zhang Ruochen gathered all the remaining zhenqi in her body into the tip of her brush, and drew the zhenqi and martial dao concepts into the sword.


    Even after exhausting all of the zhenqi in his body, he had only managed to draw a single painting.


    Zhang Ruochen immediately sat up with her legs crossed. She began to circulate the Nine Heaven Bright Emperor Scripture, completing the zhenqi in the aura pool and drawing the second diagram.


    It took him half a day to finish drawing all twelve moves of the "Heavenly Heart Sword Technique".


    Although his cultivation was no longer there, his eyesight was still there, his understanding of martial arts was still there, and every sword technique he drew was very exquisite, it was no different from the sword moves in the "Heavenly Heart Sword Technique" manual.


    "With my current understanding of martial dao, drawing a low rank spirit rank martial skill is already my limit. If I were to draw a Spirit Level Middle Ranked Martial Technique Diagram, I would probably only be able to draw one-third of the Spirit Level Middle Ranked Martial Technique''s mental state. "


    A martial skill manual was not something that could be created and copied so casually.


    Even if an ordinary person were to silently write down the incantations and sword techniques of the "Heavenly Heart Sword Technique", they would only be able to take on the form of a simple sword technique. Even if they successfully practiced the sword technique, they would not be able to reach the might of a low-grade spirit level sword technique.


    In Zhang Ruochen''s previous life, she was an expert at the great perfection of the Heavenly Completion Stage. She could only draw the charm of a low-grade spirit rank sword technique. If she had any high-grade martial skills, he would not be able to draw the charm.


    "A low rank Spirit level sword technique should be able to sell for a good price."


    Zhang Ruochen did not immediately bring the "Heavenly Heart Sword Technique" to the Martial Market. Instead, she waited until it was dark before she headed towards the palace gate.


    "Your Highness Ninth Prince, you still need to leave the palace at such a late hour," the two guards said.


    The two guards also knew that the ninth prince and Lin Fei had been driven to the side chamber, which meant that they had lost their power and influence within the palace. Thus, they did not have any expression of respect on their faces. In fact, they did not even greet Zhang Ruochen.


    Zhang Ruochen was not the cowardly Zhang Ruochen that before. She stared sharply at the two guards and slightly raised her chest as she said, "This prince is going to the Lin Clan to look for Cousin Shan. Hurry up and open the gates!"


    Zhang Ruochen was, after all, Wang Sun. Thus, the two guards would naturally not offend him. They opened the palace door and watched Zhang Ruochen leave.


    "Sturdy what? If he wasn''t the son of the Cloud Martial Kingdom''s King, he would have died countless times over already." One of the guards spat.


    "It''s said that the genius Lin Shan of the Lin Family is about to be engaged to the Seventh Prince, but he still hasn''t given up. He''s really stupid." Another guard said in disdain.


    Naturally, Zhang Ruochen didn''t really go to Lin Shan, she only found an excuse to leave the palace without being suspected.


    After walking out of the palace, Zhang Ruochen took out a large black cloak from the space-time crystal and wrapped herself in it. Then, she walked into the brightly lit Royal City.


    In the darkness, no one could see his face clearly.


    Not long after, Zhang Ruochen walked through the bustling streets into the Martial City.


    "The other places in the Royal City can only be considered as" secular cities. "" The Martial City occupied only a tenth of the entire Royal City, but it was the most prosperous place in the entire Cloud Martial City.


    The Martial Market was further divided into five areas: Dan City, Artifact City, Beast City, Slave City, and Central Auction House.


    To a certain extent, the martial market determined the rise and fall of the entire Yunwu Prefecture, so the management of the martial market was very strict.


    There were soldiers at every entrance to the Martial City. Only warriors or those with high status were qualified to enter the Martial City.

    The Sky Mist Sect was on the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain was a small city.


    The Sky Mist Sect did not prohibit disciples from going out normally, and only after opening up their sect for ten years would they close down their sect for a year. This action was to prevent disciples from being affected by the city''s prosperity.


    Of course, a large sect like this would naturally have a mix of fish and dragons. It wouldn''t seek to improve itself, and it would be necessary for a number of disciples to fall in a busy city.


    However, only a few of the disciples with good backgrounds were like this. Most of the disciples wholeheartedly wanted to seek the Dao to increase their strength.


    Five years had passed. This was the first time Yang Li had stepped out of the sect. These five years had been like a nightmare for him. But now, this nightmare was no longer there.


    He began his new life, and this time he left the sect to prove himself.


    If people don''t offend me, I won''t offend them. If people offend me, I will definitely offend them.


    Since Fang Chong already said he wouldn''t stop until the other party was dead, and even made an agreement with him on a location, he naturally wouldn''t let other people''s doves go.


    His opponent was only a late third floor. If he couldn''t even challenge someone who had a cultivation realm higher than his, then there was no need to talk about the future.


    To him, this was no big deal. He didn''t care too much about it. He walked and walked until he arrived in front of a small city.


    This small city was called Misty City, and it was named after the Misty Cloud Mountain Range and Sky Mist Sect.


    The Misty Cloud Mountain Range was an extremely huge mountain range with numerous forests and rampant Demonic Beasts. The Sky Mist Sect was established here to contain the Demonic Beasts within the mountain range.


    Of course, although there were many demonic beasts in the Misty Cloud Forest, it was very easy to get within five kilometers of the mountains. However, the deeper one went, the more demonic beasts there were, and the higher the level of the demonic beasts.


    The hierarchy of demon beasts was slightly different from that of humans, but the difference wasn''t too great.


    Level 1 to 3 Demon Beasts equated to a period of accumulation of energy, level 4 to 6 Demon Beasts equated to a period of primordial blood, and level 7 to 9 Demon Beasts equated to a period of spiritual activity. The top-notch Demon Gods were the same as human gods, they had not appeared for hundreds of thousands of years, and their legends only existed in ancient times.


    Yang Li strolled around the city leisurely, occasionally glancing at the people who were performing acrobatics. He cheered on them and threw one or two copper coins to them as if he had forgotten about the challenge.


    In the blink of an eye, it was already dusk. The crescent moon lit up slightly. He picked up the cultivation technique he had chosen during the day and started to cultivate in the empty space outside the city.


    The first thing he saw was the Flame God Technique. This was because the inner force technique determined the height he could reach in the future, as well as the power of his Essence.


    Different cultivation techniques had different characteristics, and the same applied to the "Flame God Incantation".


    However, due to the fact that the technique was incomplete, it seemed somewhat obscure and hard to understand. Yang Li had no choice but to devote himself to it.


    At this moment, the beast skin on Yang Li''s chest suddenly began to glow slightly. Afterwards, he was completely immersed in a wonderful state.


    At this time, all of the cultivation techniques and secret manuals that were recorded in the identity token were also imprinted into his mind.


    The Essence in his body started to revolve as well, following the path described in the Flame God Incantation.


    The elemental energy also began to change subtly.


    His aura started to become erratic.


    However, just as he was about to circulate for a full week, he suddenly felt as if he had suffered a heavy injury. He gave a stuffy groan and stopped circulating his cultivation technique. The mysterious aura also dispersed with him.


    Yang Li felt a little suspicious, "Huh? What was going on? "The path of elemental energy circulation is the right one."


    After trying a few more times, he was still stuck at that spot. He pondered for a long time, but still could not find the reason.


    Yang Li felt his own origin energy condense, and the circulation speed became faster.


    He had a premonition that even if he faced an opponent at the fourth level of Qi Accumulation, he would have no problem dealing with them.


    At this moment, a mocking voice sounded out.


    "Hmph, it is really a narrow path for enemies. I never thought that I would meet a trash like you everywhere. Yang Li, are you afraid that you would secretly cultivate here if you can''t beat me later?" You think you can beat me like this? It''s simply a dream! "


    Yang Li slightly opened his eyes. There was no need to think about it as the speaker was Fang Chong.


    However, compared to when he was in the Scripture Pavilion, there was now a spear at his back.


    Yang Li''s expression was calm as he raised the cultivation technique. The corner of his mouth lifted as he said: "That should be better than not having a cultivation technique to cultivate in. Fang Chong, how does it feel to be punished by an elder today?"


    "Yang Li, you''re courting death!" Upon hearing these words, Fang Chong was instantly enraged. If it wasn''t for Yang Li''s scheme today, he wouldn''t have suffered such a punishment and lost face in front of the crowd!


    "Eh, to be so easily angered?" Yang Li shook his head and sighed, "That''s right, I didn''t even care about tomorrow''s arranged battle."


    "Don''t be so glib! "Since that''s the case, I won''t wait for tomorrow. Today, I will give you a painful lesson!"


    Fang Chong flew into a rage and immediately took out a medicinal pill from his chest and swallowed it.


    His aura instantly surged to the fourth level of Qi Accumulation and he attacked Yang Li angrily.


    As for Yang Li, he watched as his Essence Qi skyrocketed and Fang Chong attacked him. While dodging, he taunted, "Relying on medicine to reach the fourth level of Qi Accumulation, can you be any more promising?"


    "Don''t dodge. If you have the guts, fight me head on!" Fang Chong spoke with resentment, but his hands did not stop as he continued to attack Yang Li.


    "I just haven''t had enough fun. Let''s see how high you can jump." Yang Li said with a smile.


    At this moment, Fang Chong was getting impatient and took out his own weapon: "Heng, the game of cat and mouse is over. The first movement of the Fierce Sun Spear Technique, the Fierce Sun Strike!"


    He saw a fire dragon rapidly charge towards Yang Li, but he didn''t panic in the slightest as he dodged to the side, dodging to the right.


    At this moment, the beast skin on Yang Li''s chest began to heat up. He moved even faster, easily avoiding the fatal blow.


    "You actually managed to dodge my spirit art, you''re very good. Let''s see how you will dodge this. Fierce Sun Spear Technique Second Move, Fierce Sun Shaking the Earth!"


    Fang Chong''s spear slammed onto the ground as eight fire dragons burst out from the spear, sweeping out in all directions!


    Yang Li didn''t dodge and quickly used his Essence to form a barrier to block Fang Chong''s spirit technique. Seemingly sensing his impatience, Yang Li also sped up his flow of Essence to form layers of barriers in front of him.


    Seeing his attack once again blocked by Yang Li, Fang Chong couldn''t help but clench his teeth and say word by word: "Hmph!" Yang Li, oh Yang Li, look at your surroundings, today, this place is where your bones are buried! "


    At Fang Chong''s command, several late stage third floor and an early fourth floor disciple leapt out and appeared in the area.


    He actually brought people to ambush, this Fang Chong is really despicable!


    However, since Yang Li dared to ¡­


    "Heh heh, you think you can kill me with more people? "You''re really childish." Seeing this, Yang Li decided that he had to take action.


    Thinking up to here, Yang Li suddenly attacked Fang Chong!


    "Aren''t you finally running around like a dog, risking your life for a single strike? Laughable! " Fang Chong raised his spear and sent it towards Xiangyang Li.


    Yang Li saw that he wasn''t in a rush to dodge so he gritted his teeth and increased his speed. His palms accumulated dense amounts of Essence Qi as he attacked Fang Chong''s chest.


    Yang Li''s palm was getting closer and closer to Fang Chong''s chest, but Fang Chong''s longspear was also very close to Yang Li.


    Just at this moment, the beast skin on Yang Li''s chest once again emitted a faint heat, causing Yang Li''s speed to quicken as it directly smashed into Fang Chong''s chest.


    When Fang Chong saw his sudden increase in speed, his eyes were filled with disbelief!


    He didn''t increase the protection for himself by much, but simply placed a barrier around himself.


    He originally thought that Yang Li wouldn''t be able to attack him no matter what, but the truth had exceeded his expectations!


    "Bam!"


    Yang Li''s palm shattered his protective barrier and slapped his chest. Fang Chong was sent flying!


    The people around them, who originally swore that Fang Chong would be able to crush Yang Li, were all stunned!


    After a while, the person at the fourth level of Qi Accumulation recovered from his shock. "Stop him! Take him down! "


    The surrounding people all took action, and one spirit technique after another shot towards Yang Li!


    Fang Chong struggled to stand up and coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood. At this moment, he was already forcing himself to turn red: "Quick! Kill him! This person has enmity with Wan Hao, whoever gives him to Wan Hao will definitely win his good impression! "


    If they really managed to get a good impression from Wan Hao, then the benefits of entering the outer sect would be many!


    When the few of them heard about the temptation, the power of the spirit art in their hands increased as it once again struck Yang Li!


    "Despicable!"


    Yang Li''s eyes were filled with rage as he wished he could turn around and kill Fang Chong!


    Faced with the combined assault of a few people, Yang Li was not afraid in the slightest. Killing intent appeared in his eyes!


    "Ridiculous, do you think I would die from being surrounded by you four pieces of trash?" Yang Li became increasingly angry, and the circulation speed of his Essence also increased by a lot.


    As if sensing Yang Li''s anger, the beast skin on his body once again emitted a reddish glow. Yang Li''s speed increased yet again, giving him the impression that he could move behind a few people.


    Yang Li''s mind stirred and his entire body moved like a phantom. He instantly appeared behind the few people behind him and could not help but feel joy in his heart. Circulating his Essence, he struck his palm towards the back of the disciple at the fourth level of Qi Accumulation.


    That disciple was caught off guard and was directly sent flying by Yang Li. His body was severely injured, and he fainted.


    The other disciples were extremely shocked when they saw Yang Li suddenly appear behind them, but Yang Li didn''t give them any time to think. His figure instantly flashed, and he slammed his palm towards another early third floor disciple.


    The disciple frantically tried to block, but unfortunately, the difference in strength was too great, and he was still sent flying by Yang Li. He was also heavily injured, and continued to wail as he laid on the ground.


    In the blink of an eye, only two of the four remained. The remaining two looked like gods of war, instantly killing Yang Li.


    After looking at each other, the two of them quickly attacked Yang Li. Yang Li easily dealt with them, but the amount of Essence in Yang Li''s body was becoming lesser and lesser.


    "Flaming Palm!" A disciple struck out with a palm that contained a formidable amount of origin energy. The fire attribute origin energy tumbled around his palm, appearing extremely brilliant under the reflection of the setting sun.


    "Too slow!" With such a slow palm technique, who could you possibly hit? " Yang Li sneered and moved behind the disciple with the help of the beast skin. His palm was also overflowing with Essence. Although he did not use any Spirit Spell, its power was not inferior to his opponent at all.


    The disciple couldn''t react in time and was directly struck in the back by Yang Li''s palm. The backlash of his Essence was also severely injured, causing him to faint.


    The last disciple immediately stopped and did not dare to attack again.


    When Fang Chong saw this scene, he was enraged: "You piece of trash! Trash! Kill him! "What are you doing!?"


    While this disciple clenched his teeth and was about to attack, Yang Li left his mouth.


    "You must think carefully. If you dare to attack me, I guarantee that you will all go back to your beds today! Or never go back! "


    The disciple instantly hesitated, but Yang Li didn''t hesitate as he sent another palm containing Yuan Qi towards Fang Chong with hatred.


    The already heavily injured Fang Chong had terror plastered all over his face, but he was still unable to escape Yang Li''s attack. Yang Li had broken his heart meridian and killed him right at the entrance of the Misty Cloud Forest.


    In the end, the remaining person''s face paled. He never imagined that Yang Li would actually dare kill Fang Chong!


    However, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yang Li, what do you mean?"


    "What do I mean? Do I need to explain it to you? If you want to die too, then I don''t mind killing a few more people! " Yang Li''s eyes were cold as he coldly spoke.


    The disciple was so frightened by Yang Li''s aura that he immediately did not dare to speak anymore. His legs went soft and he knelt to the ground, trembling as he said, "I''m sorry, I''m sorry, it''s my fault. Please forgive me!"


    The disciple continued to beg for mercy, but Yang Li''s eyes did not waver at all, and he said: "Hmph, it was your tactfulness that saved your life, get them and scram! "By the way, tell Wan Hao that if he dares to look for me in the Misty Forest, he better not be a turtle hiding behind his back!"


    As Yang Li finished speaking, he turned and leapt into the Misty Cloud Forest.


    He could already imagine Wan Hao''s furious expression after hearing these words. Just thinking about it was exciting.


    How could that disciple dare to resist? Supporting his other companions, he stood up and fled.


    They had originally thought that with their overwhelming numbers, it would be easy for them to take down a mere Yang Li. They hadn''t thought that they would end up like this.


    What level had Yang Li''s strength reached?


    He still had some lingering fear in his heart as he anxiously told Wan Hao Yang Li''s words.


    And as Yang Li expected, after Wan Hao heard this news, his veins began to bulge and the cup of water in his hand was crushed!


    "What!?" All of you surrounded and attacked Yang Li, and you''re actually all crippled? Fang Chong died? "


    Wan Hao gritted his teeth, causing the group of people below to not dare to make a sound.


    "What about you, Mo Luo? Didn''t you already reach level 4? Even you were defeated? "


    Mo Luo was ashamed. He remembered his fight with Yang Li and felt a lingering fear. He said with a guilty conscience, "Yes ¡­ "I don''t know what that brat ate, but his cultivation has broken through so much. Even I am not his match."


    "Hmph, a bunch of trash!"


    Wan Hao kicked a disciple to the ground, but the latter didn''t say anything.


    "That trash Yang Li actually dared to charge into the Misty Forest by himself. Is he not afraid of death?" Wan Hao''s eyes were vicious. He didn''t understand why Yang Li would do such a thing.


    Demonic beasts roamed all around the Misty Forest, making it extremely dangerous. Ordinary cultivators would only dare to enter when they were in a group, let alone Yang Li, who was only at the third level of Qi Accumulation.


    Could he be just trying to provoke me?


    Thinking about how he had been provoked by such a trash, Wan Hao was once again enraged.


    "Senior-apprentice Brother Wan Hao, maybe he''s just bluffing and is afraid of being chased down by you. That''s why he intentionally fled to the Misty Cloud Forest to seek refuge!"


    "That''s right, even if he went in, he wouldn''t be able to block the demon beast''s attack. Who knows, he might already be dead!"


    The only thing the disciples wanted to do was to redeem themselves.


    Wan Hao didn''t appreciate her kindness and angrily said, "If it weren''t for you trash, Yang Li would still be alive to escape in! "Let me tell you, if you are alive, you have to see him, if you are dead, you have to see his corpse. You have to patrol around the forest, and catch him immediately if you find him. This is my last chance for you!"


    "Yes, yes, yes!"


    The other disciples heaved a sigh of relief. It was already a blessing that they were not allowed into the dangerous region of the forest. They quickly agreed.


    As everyone left, the anger in Wan Hao''s eyes was still burning.


    "Yang Li, there are different levels of people between noble and lowly. For a trash like you who comes from a lowly background, wanting to climb over my head is simply a dream!" I will never give you that chance! "

 C9

    Yang Li naturally did not know of what was happening over there, so he did not mind.


    The reason why he entered the Misty Forest was because he wanted to make use of the demon beasts within the forest to temper himself and increase his strength as fast as possible.


    Of course, he knew that the Dense Fog Forest was filled with dangers, and that life and death situations could arise at any time. However, if he didn''t even dare to challenge such dangers, there was no need to even mention Yang Li later.


    However, Yang Li was not a reckless raider. After entering the forest, he had relied on his previous experience as a servant to quickly find the Fog Concealing Grass and consume it.


    This was a medicinal herb that allowed him to conceal his presence. After consuming it, Yang Li would be able to avoid a small danger within two hours.


    Just as the battle ended, Yang Li felt an inconsequential sense of relaxation. He carefully searched for a suitable place for him to recover his spiritual energy.


    There were dangers everywhere in the forest, not to mention that his body was wounded and bleeding. If he was not dealt with quickly, he would provoke a lot of magical beasts.


    He had to be careful even if he was within five kilometers of the Dense Fog Forest. Moreover, he didn''t calculate the distance along the way, so he didn''t know where he was. He could only be more cautious.


    The dangers of the Dense Fog Forest were not undeserved. Yang Li had just arrived at the scene and had seen them for the first time.


    As Yang Li walked, a fishy stench came from ahead. He hid behind the forest and looked around.


    He discovered that it was a late stage one Fire Snake resting in a snake-like formation. Its poison was extremely terrifying, and very few late-stage Class 2 Magical Beasts dared to provoke him.


    If he were to provoke such a demonic beast that used poison, he would definitely be in big trouble!


    "No wonder there aren''t any demonic beasts nearby. Even a late Class 1 Nubis would dare to rule over a Class 2 Magical Beast, not to mention the fact that he is the most powerful magical beast here." Yang Li thought to himself.


    As for Yang Li, who had not recovered his spiritual energy yet, he also didn''t want to provoke such a troublesome existence.


    And then, he changed directions and continued searching, trying his best to avoid high level magical beasts.


    Yang Li looked at the sky. It was almost dark now. If he didn''t find a place to heal in time and wait for the demon beasts to frequently appear at night, he would definitely die in the stomach of the demon beast.


    The sun was setting in the west, illuminating the forest with its golden rays.


    At this time, there were also some demonic beasts that gradually woke up. There were always more demonic beasts out at night and at day.


    The forest that had been asleep for the entire day began to become lively.


    Yang Li heard the howls of lions and wolves in the distance. More and more demonic beasts woke up, and he had yet to find a suitable place to rest.


    At this moment, when he saw a spot not too far away, his eyes lit up!


    Walking in the direction which Zhang Xuan pointed at, it turned out to be an inconspicuous little cave!


    Heaven never bars one''s way; we''ve finally found a suitable place to heal!


    However, Yang Li did not let down his guard. He carefully probed the interior of the cave with his spirit energy and found no signs of life. Only then did he enter.


    He smashed the rock at the top of the cave entrance, barely covering the entire entrance, ensuring that no demon beasts or other people would come in while he was recuperating.


    The interior of the cave was very dry. There was also something similar to a praying mat. It seemed that someone had once meditated here.


    "What kind of place is this? Someone actually stayed here before?"


    Yang Li was puzzled, but he did not think too much about it. This cave was now his best resting place.


    There were also two fruit trees inside the cave, and there were many yellow fruits on them. It seemed like they were golden fruits that ordinary people would usually eat.


    Yang Li had been hungry all day. He wanted to test if the fruit was poisonous, but he didn''t have any tools.


    "It''s only a few fruits, can it be that they can poison me to death?" After a centrifugal force, he plucked four to five fruits and began to eat them.


    However, the heavens still favored him. After he finished eating, he didn''t feel any discomfort. Instead, he felt his body become abnormally energetic.


    The spirit energy he expended in fighting with Fang Chong and the rest had actually recovered by quite a bit. Yang Li inwardly sighed at the mysteriousness of the fruits and couldn''t help but eat a few more of them.


    Recalling the battle from before, the corners of Yang Li''s mouth curled up in a proud smile.


    If he defeated this group of people, it would definitely cause Wan Hao to jump up and down. He just didn''t know if he had the guts to chase into the Misty Forest.


    From what he knew of him, Wan Hao probably wouldn''t dare to enter. He would at most send players to patrol the area.


    It was very likely that she was enraged and impulsively rushed in to look for him, but this was better so that she wouldn''t have to look for him herself.


    If it came, he could crush it with ease.


    Yang Li composed himself and began the long and difficult healing process.


    The moon was becoming more and more bent, and after the crescent moon, it would become round again. The gentle moonlight scattered on the forest. There was a breeze blowing, and it was so cold that it seemed to come from the ninth heaven.


    The law of the jungle prevails everywhere in the forest.


    There was a pack of wolves that attacked the wild boar, and there were also Snake Devouring Mice and vicious Earth Dragon Bears that were eating other unknown creatures.


    There were creatures similar to bats in the sky, letting out ear-piercing hisses.


    The trees that had been silent for a long time also began to rustle. Some of the trees emitted tempting fragrances, causing some of the beasts that went by silently.


    The sky gradually brightened as Yang Li''s recovery was nearing its end.


    For some unknown reason, the spiritual energy attached to Yang Li''s wounds was being expelled very quickly, and the spiritual energy in his body was also rapidly nourishing his wounds. Based on his current condition, he should be able to recover in a few days.


    "Is it because of this cave?" Yang Li muttered.


    After careful consideration, Yang Li decided to take advantage of these few days to cultivate in the forest and temper his combat ability.


    Once again, he took out the¡¶ Flame God Incantation¡· that he had recorded in the Scripture Pavilion and carefully read its contents before starting to cultivate.


    The spiritual energy in his body started to circulate according to the route of the cultivation technique.


    One Cycle...


    Two Weeks...


    Thirty-six cycles ¡­


    Seventy-second cycle ¡­


    One big cycle...


    After completing a full circulation, Yang Li was jolted awake, and the aura around his body began to grow!


    "Late stage of the 3rd level of the Qi Accumulation Stage!" Yang Li cried out in alarm.


    The cultivation technique gave him an obvious change, but he was a little doubtful, "Why is it so simple to cultivate this time? Something doesn''t seem right. "


    In order to test if he had really succeeded in his cultivation, he sent a palm flying towards the top of the cave entrance.


    Crushed rocks fell from the sky, and his simple palm strike had achieved the result he had spent so much effort on yesterday''s attack.


    Yang Li couldn''t help but be pleasantly surprised. The power of a first-rate cultivation method was clearly different from an unconventional cultivation method. It was many times stronger!


    This kind of power meant that he had already successfully cultivated this cultivation technique.


    Yang Li''s internal spiritual energy also changed with the cultivation method. The circulation path was different, but there was also a different kind of aura attached to it.


    Even though the Flame God Incantation was only an incomplete cultivation technique, Yang Li had successfully cultivated it with an attribute attached to his spirit energy. However, he wasn''t too clear on just how to use this energy; he still needed to study it later.


    Moreover, a whirlpool had formed within his body. The whirlpool that could only be formed at the seventh level of the Qi Accumulation Stage was already formed by him at the end of the third level.


    This meant that no matter how fearless he was against others in a battle of the same level, it would no longer be difficult for him to challenge others beyond his level!


    Perhaps all of this still had something to do with this cave. He could faintly feel that this cave was not simple at all. Not only was the cultivation of the Flame God Incantation a little too simple, it was also a little too simple compared to last time.


    Moreover, during his meditation, he felt that his spiritual energy was recovering at a much faster rate than normal.


    "This is a good place. I have to hide it well and not let anyone else know about it!" Yang Li thought to himself.


    "Your spirit energy has been fully recovered. Now you should go out and hunt demon beasts. You should train your own strength and increase your own combat experience!"


    Thinking of this, Yang Li consecutively blasted away the shattered rocks at the entrance of the cave, creating a path that only a single person could walk on.


    The blazing sun illuminated the entire forest. Just as Yang Li left, he saw a land dragon and bear charging towards him.


    It was said that the Earth Dragon Bear was born from the combination of a land dragon and a bear. Although it had the appearance of a bear, its body and fur were both scarlet red.


    Their physiques could be considered as one of the most powerful low-level demon beasts. Perhaps it was because they were mutually resistant to each other.


    The Earth Dragon Bears, however, were not afraid of the extremely terrifying Flame Serpent''s poison. There were even some Earth Dragon Bears who ate Flame Serpents as food, often devouring them.


    Seeing the Earth Dragon Bear charge towards him, Yang Li dodged to the side, dodging the attack of the Earth Dragon Bear.


    The Earth Dragon Bear crashed into the tree behind him, but it didn''t feel anything. It shook its head and charged towards Yang Li again.


    Yang Li did not dodge this time. He directly rushed forward and struck his palm towards the Earth Dragon Bear!


    "Roar!"


    The Earth Dragon Bear was in a sprint state and had no time to dodge. It was directly struck in the head by Yang Li''s palm and let out an angry roar!


    "It really isn''t that easy to deal with." The massive impact of the Earth Dragon Bear also caused Yang Li''s arm to feel somewhat numb.


    The Landwyrm Bear angrily stood up and glared at Yang Li, directly slapping him with its palm!


    Yang Li saw that he was basically harmless and also felt a headache coming. He easily dodged the Earth Dragon Bear''s attack and then raised his hand to strike the Earth Dragon Bear''s chest with his palm.


    Although he didn''t do any damage to the Earth Dragon Bears, his chest gave Yang Li a weak feeling.


    "Hmm? Could it be that special power contained within the Spiritual Energy? "


    At this moment, he remembered that after cultivating the Flame God Incantation, there was a special kind of energy within the spirit energy. His eyes lit up as he thought to himself, "This Earth Dragon Bear''s skin is rough and thick, just nice to test the effects of the spirit energy!"


    The Earth Dragon Bear''s physique was extremely strong, and he wouldn''t be able to kill Mo Wuji just by using spiritual energy. He might be able to kill Mo Wuji by relying on the characteristics of the Flame God Incantation.


    As the number of attacks continued to increase, so did the reaction speed of the energy!


    Finally, after dodging the Earth Dragon''s attack once again, Yang Li, who had little spirit energy left, attacked the Earth Dragon Bear''s chest once more, trying to draw out the power.


    "Bam!"


    The chest of the Earth Dragon Bear immediately began to split open, the bones of its heart were clearly visible, blood was continuously flowing out, and it painfully collapsed onto the ground, unable to move.


    "A good chance!" When Yang Li saw the look on the Earth Dragon Bear''s face, he immediately sent a palm strike towards the head of the Earth Dragon Bear.


    Boom!


    A loud sound rang out. The head of the Earth Dragon, which was originally extremely hard and had not been broken even after being struck a few times, was now shattered by his single palm strike. Even he himself was somewhat confused.


    "Could it be the effect of the Flame God Incantation?"


    Yang Li was amazed. If this was true, then this cultivation method was truly too powerful!


    "Mm. From the looks of it, this energy should be an explosive type of energy!" Since it''s the energy that came with the Flame God Incantation, then let''s call it Fire Energy! "


    However, he didn''t seem to be able to completely master the fire ability. He could only find an opportunity to study it in the future.


    However, looking at the corpse of the Landwyrm Bear, Yang Li came up with a new idea.


    "Hehe, now I have a weapon to practice the Flame God''s Spear Art!"


    Yang Li used his spirit energy to split open the body of the Earth Dragon Bears. He took out the ribs, which were still intact from the explosion, and grinded them into bone blades.


    After he cut down another tree, he used a bone knife to grind it into the shape of a stick. Then he took out the bones within the body of the Earth Dragon Bear and grinded them into the shape of a spearhead.


    Then, he cut a portion of the bear skin into strips and tied the spearhead to a wooden stick, creating a simple long spear.


    The ribs of the Earth Dragon Bear were extremely hard. Otherwise, it wouldn''t be enough to support such a massive body. It would be the most suitable weapon to use.


    With a weapon for cultivating the Flame God Spear Art, this would be another great improvement in his strength.


    Once he returned to the cave, he immediately started to practice the Flame God''s Spear Art!


    Flame God Spear Technique: The original rank is unknown, because the spiritual energy circulation path is damaged, for the time being can only display the power of a first-rate spiritual technique, moreover the moves are incomplete.


    First Style: Flaming Dragon Soars the Sky, following the circulation path of the spirit energy, attaching it to the weapon, forming a fire dragon and charging towards the enemy. This style''s power is great, one can break mountains and rivers if cultivated to the highest depths!


    The second style: Flame Jue in all directions, attacking with a group martial art, attaching spirit energy to the weapon, slapping it on the enemy''s body or on the void or on the ground, then dispersing the attacks on the enemy, cultivating to a high level can shatter mountains!


    The third style: Divine Flames Shining the Heavens, attack and defense techniques, attach spirit energy to the spear, form a flame barrier in front of the body, and also allow it to attack!


    Yang Li looked at the Flame God Spear Art''s introduction, and couldn''t help but feel a surge of emotions in his heart. His thirst for great strength had become the greatest motivation for his cultivation.


    In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. Not only was the Flame God Spear Art extremely proficient, the explosive effect of the Flame God Incantation was also under his control.


    Hunting demon beasts were becoming more and more relaxed. He had accumulated more than ten beast cores, so it was rather hard to believe in the eyes of the bystanders.


    On this day, Yang Li had just finished training and was preparing to go out to hunt demon beasts. However, he heard faint cries for help from afar.


    Yang Li frowned slightly. After pondering for a moment, he ran off in the direction of the voice.

 C10

    Yang Li, who had rushed over, did not act rashly. Instead, he hid himself and observed the situation in front of him.


    What entered his sight was a little girl around eight or nine years old. She was extremely cute, wearing a light green dress, big eyes, and a fair face. It was not hard to see that she would be a great beauty in the future.


    At this moment, she was screaming for help nonstop. Her eyes were filled with fear and panic, but she no longer had anywhere to run to. She was surrounded by four bandits.


    "Little girl, you sure know how to run!" More than twenty kilometers into the Dense Fog Forest, you really aren''t afraid of encountering magical beasts and dying? " One of the bandits said in an evil tone.


    "Exactly, you want to run after stealing our treasures? How could there be such a good thing! " Another bandit also spoke up.


    The little girl looked at the bandits with a frightened expression. She wanted to say something, but she didn''t dare to.


    "Little girl, hand over the treasures you took and the ring on your hand to me, and we promise not to kill you!" A bandit said in an affable tone.


    However, the little girl was forced to retreat again and again, her face flushed red, she angrily scolded: "I didn''t steal your treasure, it was clearly that treasure that was flying towards me, why do you say that I stole your treasure!"


    Heh heh, I flew towards you myself? Why didn''t you say that our spirit stones would fly towards you? Forget it, I''ll just kill him! "


    The robber took off his mask of hypocrisy and slashed at the little girl.


    Ah!" The little girl closed her eyes in fear.


    "Ding!"


    The sound of metal colliding rang in everyone''s ears. A black wooden spear suddenly appeared in front of the bandit''s blade. Yang Li''s spear was made of iron and wood from a thousand years in the forest.


    Soon after, a clear voice said, "Four men and a cultivator. To make things difficult for a little girl is truly amazing! "Go to hell, you piece of trash!"


    Finished speaking, Yang Li thrust his spear at the bandit who had attacked!


    The bandit was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn''t understand why someone would suddenly appear. It was only when Yang Li''s spear was about to pierce him did he hurriedly retract his saber to block it. He was actually hastily repelled two steps back.


    "Boy, don''t meddle in others'' business. Don''t try to be a hero like others, don''t turn into a corpse!"


    The bandit leader who was the first to speak said in a gloomy tone.


    "Oh? Is that so? "Then I''d like to see how you guys are going to turn me into a corpse!" Yang Li laughed playfully, the spear in his hand swept out, striking towards the few people.


    "Don''t know what''s good for you! "Li Cheng, Li Gong, you two deal with this nosy little mouse. Ke Fan, you go kill the little girl. After you kill them, you''ll take the ring and leave!"


    The bandit leader welcomed Yang Li and gave him an order to the other three.


    "Yes!" "Boss!" The three of them immediately split up and charged towards Yang Li and the little girl.


    Yang Li''s eyes narrowed as he thrust his spear at Ke Fan.


    "Heh, you can''t even protect yourself now and you still want to take care of her! "Think about what you can do about it!"


    The bandit leader snorted disdainfully and sent a blade toward Yang Li. The other two also attacked him.


    From his point of view, Yang Li was a brat that simply couldn''t deal with a pincer attack. With just one move, he would be able to take down this brat!


    Yang Li merely laughed coldly and placed the spear horizontally in front of him.


    "Fire God Spear Technique, third move, Divine Flame Shrouding the Heavens!"


    An extremely tyrannical aura swept out, completely blocking the little girl and Yang Li.


    The dense fire type spiritual energy formed a protective screen in front of them, completely blocking the attacks of the four opponents, causing them to be unable to return.


    "Go!"


    After Yang Li blocked the attack, he immediately threw out his spear, flames gushing out towards the four people in front of him.


    "Crimson Fire Strike!"


    The four opponents simultaneously cast a spirit art, chopping at Yang Li''s spirit art with a powerful aura. They wanted to shatter Yang Li''s spirit art.


    Yang Li, however, did not panic. He directly struck out with his first martial art, attacking the weakest of the group, Ke Fan. He was the only one among them who had a third level Qi Accumulation cultivation.


    "Flame God Spear Art, first move, Soaring Flame Dragon!"


    Immediately, an illusory fire dragon charged towards Ke Fan with surging momentum. It was as if it was enraged that a mortal dared to provoke it.


    As for Ke Fan, he had not used up all his energy and had not used any new strength yet. He was unable to resist in time and was sent flying by Yang Li''s magic technique!


    "Explode!"


    Yang Li did not hesitate as he immediately exploded the fire energy that had invaded his body.


    Ke Fan''s body also exploded. Blood, flesh, and bones splattered in all directions. The surrounding several meters became hell on earth, but was slowly incinerated by the flames.


    "You actually dared to kill my third brother?" I''m going to kill you! "Flame Moon Slash!" Li Cheng was furious and immediately used his most powerful martial art to attack Yang Li.


    A ray of spiritual power akin to the crescent moon shot towards Yang Li with scorching heat and irresistible force!


    Li Gong''s face was also filled with hatred as he followed closely behind Li Cheng to attack Xiang Yang Li.


    Only the little leader was secretly shocked as he watched the battle. Yang Li''s strength had exceeded his expectations.


    "This brat''s cultivation is only at the 3rd level of the Qi Accumulation Stage, how is he so strong!?" We need to gather our forces! " With that in mind, he took out the signal detonator he had on him and set it on fire.


    Yang Li once again used Divine Flame Mi Tian to block Brother Li Cheng''s attack. When he saw the signal detonator released by the small team leader, he had a bad feeling.


    "No, we can''t wait for their people to come. We have to finish this quickly!"


    Thinking like this, Yang Li''s hands turned vicious as two flame dragons shot towards Li Gong.


    Li Gong only had enough time to block one attack before it hit his body. Yang Li''s spiritual energy exploded, causing him to die the same miserable death as Ke Fan.


    At some point, the little girl had opened her eyes, and there were still tears at the corner of her eyes. She said with a teary voice, "Big brother, a bad guy ran behind you."


    "Fire God Spear Technique, Second Style, Fire God''s Ultimate Skill!" Yang Li didn''t even think as he thrust the long spear from his waist towards the empty space behind him. Eight scorching Spiritual Energies brought about flames as they fiercely rushed towards his opponent.


    The bandit leader who had rushed behind him was filled with hatred. He had no choice but to retract his saber to block the attack. His heart was filled with killing intent towards the little girl.


    "Soaring Flame Dragon!"


    The bandit leader didn''t even have time to think before being struck by Yang Li''s spear. After struggling to defend himself, an idea of escape appeared in his mind.


    At this time, he saw Li Cheng desperately attack Yang Li and was overjoyed.


    "Good chance, now is the time, run!" When the boss comes over, he''ll definitely torture this kid to death! "


    Yang Li responded to Li Cheng by the side. Seeing the bandit leader pounce towards the little girl and wanted to take her away, Yang Li couldn''t help but use force to force Li Cheng back a few steps before charging towards the bandit leader!


    The bandit leader obviously did not expect Yang Li to still have the energy to split his attention. He cursed under his breath, "Damn it, what kind of monster is this!?" You suicidal brat, a little girl like you is even more important than your life! "


    "This old man is unlucky!" I don''t believe that you can escape from the Dense Fog Forest, just you wait! "


    The bandit leader cursed angrily, but he did not dare to grab the little girl again as he turned around and ran into the forest.


    "You want to run? Do you think you can?"


    Yang Li wanted to chase after him to prevent future troubles, but unexpectedly, Li Cheng''s attack had arrived.


    He had no time to cast any spells, so he could only hurriedly form a few barriers to block Li Cheng''s attacks.


    At the same time, he ruthlessly attacked Li Cheng with his Flaming Dragon Soaring Through the Sky without any regards for the consequences.


    He didn''t have much spiritual power left. Rather than wasting his spiritual energy to block Li Cheng''s attack, he might as well use his remaining spiritual energy to cast a spiritual technique and kill Li Cheng completely!


    An inch longer and an inch stronger, Yang Li''s long spear gave him an enormous advantage. Before Li Cheng''s attack could hit him, he had already struck his opponent.


    It was clear that Yang Li''s moves were a little faster and more ruthless. After the long spear struck Li Cheng''s body, the flames would invade his body and he would decisively detonate the spear.


    "Bam!"


    Li Cheng''s body directly exploded. Because the two were too close to each other, he couldn''t avoid the impact of the explosion and was sent flying backwards, cleverly avoiding Li Cheng''s dying attack.


    However, Li Cheng''s magic technique still managed to graze her chest, leaving behind a shocking wound. However, it was not a serious injury.


    When the little girl saw the scene of Li Cheng''s body exploding and flesh and blood flying everywhere, she felt a wave of disgust in her stomach and opened her mouth to vomit.


    However, Yang Li didn''t give her the chance. He hastily stood up from the ground and walked towards her.


    "Let''s go!"


    Yang Li pulled the little girl along and ran towards the cave.


    The bandits had already released a signal flare, and it was estimated that there would be people chasing them soon. Right now, he had no spiritual energy left, so carrying the enemy head on was not a good choice. He would retreat for now, and when his spiritual energy recovered, killing the enemy members one by one would be the best choice.


    The little girl struggled for a bit, a green light flashing across her eyes. As if she could see that Yang Li wasn''t a danger to her, she obediently followed.


    Returning to the cave, Yang Li had exhausted all of his spiritual power. His entire body seemed to have lost some of its strength as he forced himself to say, "Think of a way to block the door."


    He then fell to the ground, closing his eyes and falling asleep.


    "In the future, laozi will never play the hero to save the beauty!" This was Yang Li''s last thought before going to bed.


    After an unknown period of time, Yang Li woke up and found himself lying on the bed. As for the little girl, she was lying on the bed, sleeping.


    He forced himself to sit up and looked down. His chest was wrapped in layers of gauze. There were a few black lines on his forehead and the corner of his mouth was twitching.


    "Such a small wound, and yet it was so seriously bandaged up."


    Yang Li muttered, and then sat down cross-legged to recover his spiritual energy.


    This battle could be considered as an extremely thrilling and dangerous battle. Even though three of the four people''s cultivation bases were higher than his, one of them was still scared off by the three people he killed.


    He had only suffered a small injury and was completely exhausted. If news of this unbelievable result were to spread, it would definitely be extremely shocking!


    Yang Li recuperated as he thought back to the battle, searching for his own inadequacies, to enrich his own combat experience.


    After an unknown amount of time, Yang Li''s spiritual energy was finally fully recovered. However, when he opened his eyes, he found that the little girl was staring at him without blinking, her large eyes flashing.


    "Big brother, it''s time for you to change your medicine!" Don''t move first, I''ll help you change the medicine. " Seeing Yang Li wake up, the little girl''s tender voice sounded out.


    "Myself... "Alright, then you can change it for me." Yang Li originally wanted to refuse, but for some reason, when he saw the hopeful look in the little girl''s eyes, he wasn''t able to open his mouth to refuse.


    "Anyway, it''s an eight or nine-year-old little girl. It''s not convenient for me to change it myself, so just let her change it for me." Yang Li thought.


    The little girl clumsily removed his gauze, touching his wound several times, causing him to grimace in pain.


    "Little girl, why are they chasing you?" Yang Li diverted his attention and asked.


    "I have a name! My name is Sun Yao, but big brother you are a good person, you can call me by my nickname, Yao Yao! "Heh heh."


    Sun Yao said in a somewhat dissatisfied yet mischievous manner. However, her hands didn''t stop moving, and she continued to seriously remove the gauze.


    "Okay, Yao Yao, then why are they chasing you?" Yang Li helplessly changed his address and asked this question once more.


    "They said that I stole their treasure, but that treasure was clearly flying towards me." While tearing it open, Yao Yao unhappily said, "Moreover, their boss was even able to tell that my ring is an interspatial ring, so he wants to take it away from me."


    "Treasure? What treasure is this? " Yang Li asked curiously.


    "It''s this, a jade flute!" Yao Yao took out an emerald green flute from nowhere and showed it to Yang Li without any defenses.


    Yang Li looked at it, but was unable to see any use for it. He asked, "What is the use of this jade flute? "It looks like it''s just an ordinary musical instrument."


    "Hehe, big brother, this jade flute can hide my aura. Moreover, it allows me to sense the beasts within a thousand meters of me. Otherwise, how could I run so deep?"


    "That''s quite a miraculous treasure. No wonder these bandits have been chasing you. You should keep it well. In the future, you should be more careful. Don''t let anyone discover it and steal it."


    "Right, what is an interspatial ring?" Yang Li asked a few more questions after admonishing her. At the same time, he was also very curious as to why such a little girl would have so many strange treasures on her.


    "Big brother, you don''t even know about interspatial rings?" Yao Yao looked at Yang Li with a stupefied expression. Yang Li guiltily nodded.


    "Big brother, this is an interspatial ring. We can store things inside!" My family said it was very valuable! "


    Yao Yao acted as if she had been defeated, as she took out some medicine and gauze from her ring, placing the ring in front of Yang Li''s eyes for him to see.


    "How much can you put in there?" Yang Li looked at this item with a strange expression. Although the sect had a Cosmic Bag, it only had one or two items.


    Yao Yao thought for a moment, "About this, I can hold roughly a hundred cubes. The biggest seems to be a thousand cubes, and the smallest can hold twenty cubes."


    "Yao Yao, aren''t you afraid that I''ll steal it from you, by telling me that you''re unprepared?"


    "No, because your big brother is a good man." Yao Yao giggled.


    When Yang Li heard this, he was speechless. Although he was truly moved, there was no way he could do such a thing as snatching the girl''s things.


    "Big brother, I''ll tell you. Actually, I know a lot!" I can feel the aura of other people from Big Brother''s body, and it makes me feel very comfortable. "


    "It seems that my family members often talk about righteousness and arrogance. They say that the people who have these two auras in one body are very kind, that''s why I dare to tell Big Brother these things." Yao Yao seriously replied.


    Hearing her words, Yang Li only smiled and asked curiously, "Yaoyao, how much is that spatial ring?"


    "Yep, a ten-square-shaped spatial ring. It seems to be around ten thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. I don''t really remember that either."


    And when Yang Li heard this price, besides a headache, he didn''t have any other thoughts.

 C11

    On this continent, ten spirit stone slags were a low-grade spirit stone and ten low-grade spirit stones were a mid-grade spirit stone.


    Over ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones was equivalent to a hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones. For Yang Li right now, this was a lot.


    Shaking his head, he gave up on this idea.


    However, he was suddenly curious about another question.


    "Yao Yao, do you also train in origin energy?"


    "There is! There is!" I''m already at the 2nd level of the Qi Accumulation Stage! "Otherwise, how could I drag you to bed!"


    "Humph, I have only cultivated for half a year, otherwise those bad guys would definitely not be able to beat me!"


    As this matter was brought up, Yao Yao''s face was filled with anger. Her small teeth were grinding together.


    At this time, the change of ointment had also come to an end. Yao Yao''s reckless bandaging methods had caused Yang Li to suffer, but he hadn''t made a sound.


    But he didn''t expect Yao Yao to tie a butterfly knot around his neck!


    After she was done tying the pill, Yao Yao smiled and said, "Big brother, eat this pill and you''ll be fine after a few days of rest."


    "Alright, I understand. I''ll cultivate first and recover from my injuries. After my injuries are healed, I''ll take you away." Yang Li didn''t know whether to laugh or cry at the butterfly knot. However, he didn''t disappoint the little girl''s loveliness and good intentions. Nodding his head, he began to cultivate.


    Seeing Yang Li cultivate, Yao Yao also began to cultivate. Only, her body began to emit a green radiance that symbolized wood and life.


    The two people who were cultivating quietly inside the cave didn''t know that outside of the cave, a large number of robbers were searching for them. The roars of magical beasts and the screams of robbers filled the entire forest.


    "..."


    In the blink of an eye, an entire night passed. Yang Li''s origin energy had already completely recovered.


    He felt that his condition had improved quite a bit. Most demon beasts were not his match.


    "Yao Yao, where are you going? I''ll send you back to the sect. " After Yang Li recovered from his injuries, he began to ask Yao Yao.


    "I want to go to River Gazing City, my family will go there to find me." Yao Yao blinked her large eyes as she spoke.


    Yang Li nodded. River Gazing City was a city close to the Misty Cloud Mountain Range. It was a very bustling city.


    However, they were about two days away from where they were. The bandits were also attacking them.


    If he wanted to leave safely, he had to think carefully about his plan.


    "Yao Yao, are you sure you want to go to Jiang Cheng?" Yang Li asked again.


    "Hm!" I will definitely go! "


    "Alright, then let''s go." Hearing Yao Yao''s affirmative answer, Yang Li didn''t hesitate in the slightest, directly bringing Yao Yao away.


    He was not an indecisive person, so he would immediately do as he was told.


    But the heavens did not do as they wished.


    They had only walked three kilometers when they were discovered by three bandits.


    The three bandits were all wielding large blades in their hands. One of them even had a long scar on his face.


    After seeing Yang Li, the person with the knife scar on his face immediately shouted: "Quickly release the signal detonator! Don''t let them get away! "


    Hearing their words, Yao Yao panicked: "Big brother, what should we do?"


    Yang Li frowned and raised his hand to release Divine Flames Masked Sky, blocking everyone''s line of sight. He pulled Yao Yao into his embrace and ran into the forest.


    Yang Li ran as he tried to come up with a countermeasure. Right now, he absolutely could not fight, otherwise he would be dead.


    There were many people on the other side, and there were many high level bandits. However, it was absolutely impossible to enter the forest.


    The deeper he went into the forest, the higher the level of the demon beasts was, and the more dangerous the situation would be for him.


    As more and more people began to chase after them, Yang Li''s mind raced as he tried to come up with a plan to deal with this group of people.


    Suddenly, Yang Li''s eyes lit up.


    A Billowing Fire Snake! He was close to the domain of the snake!


    More and more pursuers came closer and closer. At this time, Yang Li stopped and faced the bandits.


    "Brat, run!" Why aren''t you running anymore? " The bandits that had been chasing him the entire time shouted out.


    Yang Li raised his spear and sent a Flaming Dragon soaring into the sky. The bandit who bore the brunt of this attack didn''t expect him to make such a sudden move.


    "You''d better shut up when I''m not asking you to talk." Yang Li looked at her coldly.


    Yao Yao, who was in his embrace, suddenly looked at him with her big bright eyes, as she quietly asked: "Big brother, what do we do? Are we not running anymore? "


    "Yao Yao, do you believe in big brother?" Yang Li asked her softly.


    "I believe you, big brother." Yao Yao resolutely said.


    "Fine, come. Big brother will carry you. You have to hug me tightly. Don''t let go, don''t make a sound."


    Yang Li placed Yao Yao on his back, and Yao Yao was extremely obedient as she tightly hugged him.


    "A few days ago, there were people who wanted to kill me, but I ran away. When I return, it will be their time of death!"


    "If you want to kill me, then prepare yourself to be killed by me! "Keep chasing, I will make your deaths miserable!" Yang Li said disdainfully.


    "Arrogant brat, I''ll definitely kill you today!" The bandits were also infuriated, cursing out loud.


    Yang Li saw that his success had infuriated them and immediately turned around to run towards the area where the Tide Fire Serpent was. Just as the Tide Fire Serpent was about to sense them, he turned around and ran away.


    He took out two pieces of grass from his chest, and handed one to Yao Yao while he ate the other.


    "Yao Yao, eat it."


    Yao Yao obediently ate the Fog Concealed Grass, and the two of their auras suddenly disappeared.


    The bandits chasing after them could see the two of them, but they couldn''t sense their auras. Thus, they guessed that they must have eaten some special pills or had some sort of treasure.


    His heart was burning even more fiercely as he continued to chase, but he did not notice the danger ahead at all.


    Yang Li arrived at the territory of the snake, but he cleverly turned to the right and placed himself in the snake''s blind spot.


    When the snake sensed the presence of others, it opened its eyes. The aura it felt and the first thing it saw were those bandits.


    "Hiss!"


    The snake was enraged!


    As the overlord of a region, a being that was deeply feared by all Level 2 Demonic Beasts, there was actually a group of ants that dared to occupy his territory.


    It wanted to swallow these fellows whole and defend its own dignity!


    The bandits wanted to retreat as soon as they saw the snake, but they were too close. With the snake''s speed, it could catch up to them in less than a minute.


    At this time, a strong voice shouted, "Everyone, hold on! Hold on to this beast! The boss will be here soon! He said he''d kill the beast and stew soup for everyone at night. "


    In the distance, Yang Li had brought Yao Yao up a tree. He watched this scene with interest.


    Although he felt that there would be some high level leaders among the robbers, he did not believe that they would be able to reach such a high level of mastery.


    He saw an extremely tall and sturdy man charge from the back of the bandit group and slash down on the body of the serpent.


    A wound was directly split open on the body of the Billowing Fire Serpent. It couldn''t help but cry out in pain, but its viciousness became even greater.


    His crimson red eyes turned even redder as he spat out a stream of venom!


    The bandit boss shouted anxiously, "Retreat! Retreat! Anyone below the seventh level of Qi Accumulation will die if they come into contact with the serpent''s poison. All of them will be pushed back a hundred meters! "


    When the bandits heard this, they hurriedly retreated, but there were still people who died from the poison.


    The bandit boss shouted in anger, "Bastard! You have harmed my brother''s life! Today, I will cut you down and sacrifice my brother''s blood!"


    After saying that, he directly struck one spirit technique after another onto the body of the snake.


    The snake let out cries of pain from time to time, spitting out pools of venom. The forest was filled with the strong elemental energy fluctuations of the bandit boss, as well as the venom of the snake.


    However, the bandit boss wasn''t afraid of the Fire Snake''s poison at all. Its poison couldn''t break through the bandit boss''s elemental energy barrier at all.


    However, there were more and more wounds on its body, and the red light on its body dimmed.


    Seeing that the Billowing Fire Serpent was about to die, the bandits drew closer and closer, wanting to surround and kill it.


    An accident had occurred. The Billowing Flame Serpent had suddenly shed its outer layer of skin, and its body had grown a bit longer as well.


    The originally dim red light on his body once again brightened as the old skin retreated, bringing with it traces of blue light.


    This sudden turn of events caught the bandits off guard.


    However, what they were more afraid of was the future.


    The snake''s body suddenly spewed out a large amount of red mist. Even the bandit boss was unable to avoid the mist, which corroded the elemental energy barrier.


    "Brothers, run as fast as you can!" Since this beast has already reached level 2, I can only hold it off for a short while. Hurry up and run! " The bandit boss said in horror.


    However, no matter what, it was too late. The stupidity of his subordinates had caused them to die under this wave of poison mist.


    The bandit leader could hear all sorts of words being spoken around him.


    I don''t want to die! I haven''t even gotten married yet! "


    A furious roar rang out, "Boss! Get out of here! One day, help us kill this snake as a sacrifice! "


    There were also insults, "It''s all your fault! If you weren''t greedy for the treasures, how could so many of our brothers die?! "


    The bandit boss listened to the conversations around him. Although his heart ached, his hands didn''t stop moving.


    One spirit art after another was blasted out, causing the snake to constantly retreat.


    At the same time, the snake was also enraged. One mouthful after another, it spat out the red colored venom towards the bandit boss.


    The bandit boss could only evade in every direction. The level two venom had already corroded his elemental energy, so he didn''t dare to take it head on.


    The battle between the two became more and more intense. In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed and both the bandit boss and the snake had slowly weakened.


    When the bandit boss saw that the snake had weakened, he gritted his teeth and fished out a pill from his chest and stuffed it into his mouth, preparing to escape.


    "Hiss!"


    However, when the snake saw this, its eyes glowed with a red light. It let out a long hiss and quickly closed in on the bandit boss.


    The moment he got close to the bandit boss, he spat out another dense red fog. Then, his entire body collapsed onto the ground.


    The bandit boss was aghast, "Bastard, do you want to die?!" Since that''s the case, then let''s just go all out and fight! "


    The bandit boss''s elemental energy barrier was continuously being corroded by the poisonous fog, but it was also constantly being set up.


    Just as the mist was about to dissipate and the bandit boss was about to relax, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of venom.


    The venom soundlessly corroded his elemental energy barrier and landed on his body.


    The originally exhausted Fire Snake forced itself to give the bandit boss another mouthful of venom.


    "Flame Blade, enter the soul!" An extremely powerful Bladeqi burst out, and the restlessness of the fire origin energy sublimed its momentum as if it could cut through thousands of enemies.


    It turned out to be a bandit boss who was completely infected with the venom and was struggling to survive. He used all his Essence to slash at the head of the serpent.


    The snake let out a cry of pain and its body went limp. Other than twitching from time to time, it did not move an inch.


    At this moment, the bandit boss could no longer suppress the poison, and his entire body was suffused with a strange red color. Not long after that, he stopped breathing.


    Yang Li, who was watching from afar, finally sighed in relief when he saw that the bandit group had been completely annihilated.


    "Now I can safely send her out. However, I remember that the Demon Core of the Billowing Fire Snake has some value." Yang Li thought.


    Thus, he turned to Yao Yao and said, "Yao Yao, wait for me here for a moment. I will go take a look and then return. Don''t move recklessly."


    "Okay big brother, but from what I can sense, that big snake isn''t dead yet. Big brother, you have to be careful." Yao Yao reminded.


    "Alright, I understand." Yang Li had long experienced Yao Yao''s ability to recognize auras.


    There wasn''t anything strange about this. After replying to him, he ran off towards the Flame Serpent.

 C12

    Yang was originally not far from the battlefield, so he quickly arrived at the side of the Billowing Fire Snake.


    After careful observation, he was sure that the bandit leader was dead. He then picked up his crude spear and stabbed the flame dragon into the wound on the head of the serpent.


    Although he had hit the snake until it was seven inches away, he wasn''t sure that he would be able to pierce it with the body of a second level Flame Serpent. It would be better to just attack the wound.


    If the snake was not truly dead, then this thrust of the spear would be able to severely injure it once again.


    In addition to the fire energy that came with the Flame God Incantation, there was no doubt that the Billowing Fire Serpent was going to die!


    Its head, which was as hard as a land dragon bear''s, could not even withstand the explosive energy seeping through its skin, much less a severely injured snake made of fire.


    However, if the Billowing Fire Snake really had not died, he would have been shocked awake and launched his final counterattack.


    As a result, after Yang Li thrust out his spear, he quickly retreated backwards.


    "Hiss!"


    "Hiss!"


    It was exactly as he expected. After being stabbed, the snake woke up with a sharp cry of pain. However, he could not catch Yang Li''s aura and could not attack him at all.


    Yang Li had just retreated to a place that was relatively safe, when he detonated the explosive force at the head of the snake.


    "Bam!"


    The head of the Billowing Fire Serpent exploded, and blood splattered everywhere.


    Yao Yao was relatively far away, so she was not affected, but this caused Yang Li to suffer.


    The blood of a Billowing Fire Snake contained a portion of poison as well. If one was tainted with it, although it was different from dying directly from the poison, it was still extremely difficult to bear.


    Therefore, he could only keep dodging, but his eyes were filled with excitement.


    The demon cores of a Billowing Fire Snake were quite valuable. Even though the rank of a Billowing Fire Snake was rather low, his was a Fire Poison with dual attributes. These kind of demon cores were extremely useful for pill refiners.


    This was because killing a Billowing Fire Snake was extremely troublesome. In a battle of the same level, if one wasn''t careful and got infected by the poison, they would quickly die.


    High level people also disdained killing low level demon beasts, which resulted in the core of this kind of demon beasts being in a relatively expensive state.


    This exorbitant price only applied to cultivators below the Blood Tempering Realm. Even if a cultivator above the Blood Tempering Realm lacked money, he wouldn''t use the method of killing a Billowing Fire Snake to obtain wealth.


    Soon enough, the snake was completely still. Yang Li rapidly approached the snake''s body, but discovered that there was something extremely awkward going on.


    He did not have any suitable tools to retrieve the fire serpents'' beast cores.


    "It''s also because the head of this snake is too tough. Even a thousand years of ironwood wouldn''t be able to endure it. Otherwise, it would be a pity to have the tools to retrieve the beast core." Yang Li said with regret.


    As for the bandit boss, his weapon was tainted by the venom and temporarily unusable. The venom spat out by the Billowing Fire Serpent would dissipate in an hour, but it was clear that he couldn''t wait that long.


    "Big brother, next, this blade should be able to cut open his skin." Just as Yang Li was having a headache, he suddenly heard Yao Yao call out to him. Turning his head around, he saw Yao Yao throw a bright knife at him.


    After Yang Li circulated his spiritual energy, he extended his hand to catch the knife that Yao Yao threw to him. After roughly examining it, he discovered that the entire knife was extremely beautiful.


    The body of the saber was engraved with a mysterious red pattern. The blade was extremely sharp, and on the handle of the blade, there was a small dragon that seemed to be alive.


    Yang Li picked up his knife and walked towards the body of the Billowing Fire Snake. He wanted to test if he could cut it open, but this attempt inevitably caused him to be shocked.


    Like a piece of paper, Xiao Dao easily cut through the surface of the water snake''s skin. Yang Li rejoiced and quickly found the location of the water snake''s Demonic Core.


    The core of the demonic beast was located in different places, but the core of the snake was seven inches away from him.


    People of the same cultivation level couldn''t afford to provoke a Billowing Fire Snake. Those with a high cultivation level would be able to quickly defeat it even if they were able to attack it for seven inches. However, the core would also shatter with their attacks.


    This was another reason for the scarcity of the demon cores.


    Yang Li was extremely careful when he took out the demon core, as he didn''t want to have any trace of poisonous blood stuck to his body. By the time he took out the demon core, he was already sweating profusely.


    The Billowing Fire Serpent''s poison sac and Demonic Core were the most valuable items, but with his cultivation, he could not touch them. Touch them and he would die, so he did not force them.


    He took the bandit boss''s relic, but didn''t find anything useful to him. In fact, he only had a few dozen Spirit Stones.


    Even though it did not fit his identity, he understood after thinking about it. After all, the bandit boss was only at the seventh level of the Qi Accumulation Realm. He had no idea how long he had saved up for.


    As for the other bandits, Yang Li didn''t even bother to look at them. On one hand, they were disdainful. On the other hand, they were troublesome, and the gains wouldn''t make up for the losses.


    After picking up the spoils of war, Yang Li returned to Yao Yao.


    "Come, Yao Yao, I''ll send you back." After Yang Li returned, he spoke to Yao Yao.


    "Yes." Yao Yao vigorously nodded her head and followed Yang Li.


    There was no one around to stop them, and the two of them weren''t going too deep either. Leaving the forest in just a day was far below Yang Li''s expectations.


    However, because they wanted to send Yao Yao off, they left through the entrance of River Gazing City.


    It had only been six hours since they had left the forest when Yang Li and Yao Yao saw River Gazing City''s five meter high city walls in the distance, and the large golden words written on the tower that were like dancing dragons and phoenixes: River Gazing City!


    Compared to the Misty Cloud City, River Gazing City was more majestic and spectacular. The city was also more bustling with activity, and there were more guards standing at the city gate and pedestrians entering and exiting the city.


    The two of them walked to the city gate leisurely. Before they entered, they could already hear the noise coming from within the city.


    Yang Li originally wanted to send Yao Yao back to the sect once they arrived at Jiang Wang City, but then he realized that he hadn''t been back to the sect for a few weeks.


    It had been too long since he last went to the pill room. The service hall''s elders would definitely make things difficult for him. He might as well rest here for a bit and break through to the fourth level of the Qi Accumulation Stage before returning.


    On the other hand, he couldn''t be at ease with Yao Yao, after all, this world had too many different types of people, and she was also very cute. If she was kidnapped by others, it would be bad, why not send Yao Yao to find her family and buy some daily necessities?


    Yang Li and Yao Yao had just entered the city and were preparing to buy some clothes. As they were sending her back, a white-haired old man appeared in front of them.


    The old man wore coarse linen clothes and his body emitted an aura that was like a deep sea. However, it made people feel amiable and his pupils were extremely clear, giving people a feeling as if they were bathed in spring wind.


    "Grandfather!" Yao Yao saw the old man excitedly calling out to her, before she immediately ran over to him.


    However, when the old man pressed a finger to her forehead, Yao Yao''s mouth immediately shriveled up, and a few glimmers of water appeared in her eyes.


    The gentleness on the elder''s face faded as he looked at her angrily. "You still know how to come back!?" I''ve only been gone for two days and you''re already gone. Grandpa almost flipped the entire River Gazing City! "


    "Grandfather, I just felt that something was calling me, so I followed that voice."


    "And then I accidentally stole the bandit''s treasure and was chased by them. It was because this big brother saved me, otherwise, you wouldn''t be able to see me now!"


    "But when I finally returned, you actually dared to scold me!" The more Yao Yao spoke, the more wronged she became. In the end, she began to cry.


    When the old man saw that she was crying, he suddenly felt a headache coming on. He pulled her closer and comforted her with a doting look on his face.


    "Alright, alright, Yao Yao, be good and stop crying. Grandfather is wrong. Grandpa won''t be so fierce towards you in the future, okay?"


    "This is bad!" Yao Yao didn''t give him any face, instead hugging him and crying her heart out. Her tears and mucus all covered his clothes.


    The old man did not mind, and turned to look at Yang Li: "Thank you, little brother, for saving my mischievous granddaughter! If it weren''t for you, Yao Yao and I wouldn''t be able to see each other anymore. I''m sure that during this period of time, Yao Yao has given you quite a lot of trouble. "


    "Senior is being too courteous." Yang Li calmly said.


    "Little brother, your arrogance and righteousness is very strong!" "According to our Sun family''s unique Qi Watching Art, your aura has the power of a Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss. Although your cultivation is currently low, I believe that you will be able to sweep away an entire region in the future."


    "Hehe, what''s your name little brother?" "Since you saved my granddaughter''s life, then you owe me one more favor." The old man smiled as he spoke, seemingly appreciating Yang Li''s words.


    "Junior is Yang Li. Gratitude is too exaggerated. Junior only did a small thing." Yang Li said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.


    "Since Yaoyao has safely returned to Senior''s side, with Senior''s cultivation base, I naturally wouldn''t let her be in danger again. Junior also has urgent matters to attend to, so I will take my leave." With that, he prepared to leave.


    Hearing that Yang Li was about to leave, Yao Yao began to panic. She anxiously pulled at the corner of the old man''s clothes, but no one knew what she was talking about.


    The old man looked at Yang Li with admiration. After pondering for a moment, he spoke.


    "Little brother, how about this, I see that you don''t have any storage treasures on you, and this old man has an idle spatial ring, if you don''t have anything to do, I might as well give you some spare time and save you some trouble, how about that?"


    "This ¡­" Yang Li, who was about to turn around and leave, hesitated. After all, he really needed the interspatial ring.


    However, he thought for a moment and believed that he would definitely be able to obtain it in the future. When he was about to reject it, he heard the old man laugh: "Compared to little brother Yang, this kind of small item is only worth a few small items and is of no other use to you. But little brother has saved my Sun family''s princess''s life."


    "If you can even reject such a small thing, then my Sun family will inevitably fall into disgrace. Just treat it as helping someone to the end and protect the reputation of my Sun family. Little Brother Yang, you don''t have to decline."


    "That brat is more respectful than willing to obey. However, senior, you don''t have to be too courteous, you can just call me Yang Li."


    Hearing this, Yang Li truly didn''t know how to refuse. He could only accept it and try to pull some strings.


    Hearing Yang Li''s reply, the old man nodded his head with a smile. Then, he took out a spatial ring and handed it to him.


    "Good, then I''ll call you Yang Li. Yang Li, you can directly bind this item by dripping blood on it and take it as your master." Very good, then I''ll call you Yang Li, Yang Li, you can directly take this item by dripping blood on it and taking it as your master.


    "My Sun family has quite a reputation in the Southern Domain. If you have the time in the future, you can come visit us in the Southern Domain. My Sun family will definitely treat you well."


    "Big brother Yang Li, you must come and play with me!"


    With that, the old man and Yao Yao disappeared from sight.


    Yang Li was about to reply when he discovered that the two of them had already left. Only Yao Yao''s voice resounded in his ears.


    He could not help but let out a bitter laugh, exclaiming at how profound the old man''s cultivation was, but he quickly made up his mind.


    "I believe that I can definitely reach or surpass such a realm. In the future, I am destined to be king!"


    Dudian smiled as he thought of this. He went into the tailor''s shop in the city and bought two clothes.


    Because it was already rather late, Yang Li found an inn and planned to rest while Yu Qing checked out her harvest.


    Yang Li impatiently took out the Space Ring the elder had given him. He carefully examined it for a moment, then bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto it.


    A soft violet light flashed on the surface of the ring, and he felt a connection to it.

 C13

    Yang Li opened the interspatial ring and found a few bottles of pills inside.


    Qi Replenishing Pill: Spirit Refinement Realm pill. It can recover one''s Essence for a short period of time and is suitable for use in battle.


    Nine Transformations Life Pill: Spirit Channeling Pill, a single pill can cause a person to lose their life force. Below the Spirit Channeling Pill, as long as a breath remains, one can consume this pill to swiftly recover their injuries and vitality. It is extremely difficult to refine.


    Small Stage Pill: For those below the Spirit Realm, aside from the ninth level, you can also break through a level.


    Healing Pill: It can quickly recover the body''s injuries, if it is not fatal, it can recover within three days, and the effects of internal injuries are reduced by half.


    Yang Li looked at it carefully. There were pills in every aspect. There were five Qi Replenishing and Healing Pills, but there was only one Small Stage Pill and Nine Transformation Life Pill.


    However, thinking about it, refining this kind of pill was extremely difficult.


    He was grateful to the old man for his kind treatment. At the same time, he secretly decided that he would repay this old man in the future.


    Yang Li kept the ring and put everything he had into it.


    Looking out the window at the full moon, Yang Li suddenly thought of his old parents, his eyes moistened.


    "After the outer sect examination is over, let''s go home and visit our parents. If we haven''t been filial for five years after leaving home, it''s time to go home and check on our parents. I wonder if their health is better now."


    "When we return to the sect this time, we must enter the outer sect and sell off the Devil Flame Serpent''s core in exchange for some medicinal pills that are beneficial to them."


    Thinking this way, Yang Li thought of beast skins. He subconsciously took them out from his ring and observed with a frown.


    The animal hide was still as tattered as before, and it didn''t seem to have anything special about it. It only had a desolate and ancient aura, but he still felt that this animal hide wasn''t that simple.


    The mysterious space, the choice of cultivation techniques, and even the sudden increase in his speed during his battle with Fang Chong a month ago made him feel as if it had something to do with this beast skin.


    But on the surface, he couldn''t see anything. Yang Li tried to control it with his Essence, but it was like a clay ox entering the sea. There wasn''t the slightest reaction from the animal skin, and even if he used Essence to chop it down, there wouldn''t be any problems.


    Just as Yang Li gave up and prepared to put it into his spatial ring.


    The beast skin suddenly emitted a silver brilliance, and Yang Li also disappeared with the appearance of the silver radiance.


    The trees outside the inn rustled along with the wind, and the sound of people beating people could be heard from far away. There were also wild cats crawling across the roof of the inn, occasionally calling out to them.


    Other than that, there was no other sound.


    Those with extremely high cultivations detected the commotion, but did not find anything wrong with their Spiritual Sense.


    As for the vanished Yang Li, he actually appeared in a mysterious space. The scorching air mixed with extremely rich origin energy surrounded him.


    Yang Li raised his head to look at the sky. The ten great suns that he had absentmindedly seen were currently hanging in the sky. In the distance, there were also some unknown birds and beasts that were hooting.


    He was at the top of a mountain peak. At the foot of the mountain, there were lush and verdant trees that formed a vast forest. It emitted an ancient aura, as if it had been there for hundreds of thousands of years.


    The roar of wild beasts could be heard in the forest, like that of wolves and tigers.


    Yang Li didn''t even have the time to observe anything before he felt the rich and rich origin energy crazily pouring into his body.


    If he didn''t transform it into his own cultivation level in time, it might even explode. Yang Li didn''t have enough time to think about it carefully, he directly sat down cross-legged and began to practice the Flame God Incantation.


    As if sensing the cultivation technique he was cultivating, the surrounding Essence Qi became even more vigorous and rushed into his body.


    At this time, a voice echoed in Yang Li''s mind, but he couldn''t clearly hear a single word that was being spoken.


    Yang Li focused his mind to listen carefully because he knew that this had to do with the mystery of the beast skin. However, as his voice gradually weakened and finally disappeared, Yang Li didn''t even hear a single word of it.


    Yang Li couldn''t help but feel that it was a pity. He turned around and earnestly digested the origin energy, increasing his cultivation.


    In just a quarter of an hour, Yang Li''s cultivation crazily soared from the late third floor to the late third floor.


    Early stage of the fourth level of Qi Accumulation!


    "..."


    Early fifth level of Qi Accumulation!


    Middle stage of the fifth level of Qi Accumulation!


    He didn''t stop until he was at the middle of the fifth level of Qi Accumulation, and a pressure similar to the one from last time pressed down on him!


    The strong repulsive force caused Yang Li to have no room to resist, as if it was telling him that he didn''t belong here, and that he shouldn''t stay here.


    After Yang Li was forced out, he suddenly appeared in a tavern. He could feel that his cultivation was truly at the middle of the fifth floor.


    An unreal feeling appeared in his heart, but his cultivation was real. Yang Li put away the beast skin in his hand and sat down cross-legged to stabilize his cultivation. Once he sat down, he directly sat down to dawn.


    In the early morning, Yang Li, who had finally stabilized his cultivation, felt the surging Essence in his body. He could not help but feel joy on his face.


    In a month, he had gone from the first level of Qi Accumulation to the middle of Qi Accumulation Stage Level 5. The most talented person should not be much better than him, right?


    At this moment, he suddenly felt something in his mind. He had been stabilizing his cultivation yesterday, so much that he did not notice this abnormality.


    He thought back to his cultivation technique and discovered that it was different from before. The feeling that it gave him was that his cultivation technique had become more complete, as if it was still incomplete.


    He also felt that the current cultivation technique was more suitable for him to cultivate, and it brought him more things.


    For example, if his elemental energy condensed, the rotation speed of the air whirl would also become faster, and the recovery speed of his elemental energy would also become faster. As for his other improvements, he hadn''t had the time to try yet.


    However, he had an intuition that even if it was someone at the late stage of the sixth level of Qi Accumulation, he would not be afraid of it now. It could even be said that he could challenge someone at the seventh level of Qi Accumulation.


    This was because compared to the sixth level of Qi Accumulation Stage, the seventh level only had one more cyclone and the first level had a greater reserve of origin energy.


    Thinking of this, Yang Li became even more excited. There was no need to worry about returning to the sect.


    Once he reached the fifth level of the Qi Accumulation Stage, he could directly enter the outer sect. There was no need for him to rush back to participate in the outer sect disciple selection.


    It was rare to come to this big city, River Gazing City. There were some things that didn''t exist in the sects, and perhaps there would be some in River Gazing City.


    He wanted to choose a suitable weapon for himself. Although the Flame God Spear Art was strong, if the quality of the weapon was too poor, its power would be greatly reduced.


    Thus, Yang Li stood up and left the inn. He began to search through the various shops and weapon stores in the city for the spear he liked.


    After wandering around for an entire day, he ended up with a headache. He couldn''t afford the good ones, and he didn''t want to buy the bad ones.


    From his point of view, a weapon could be used for years or even decades. If the quality was too poor, it might break midway. When the time came, he would have to purchase another spear.


    As soon as he entered the night, River Gazing City suddenly became lively. The labourers had returned, as had the cultivators who hunted the demon beasts in the forest.


    On the other hand, a small market in the eastern part of River Gazing City had become a paradise for cultivators. Countless stalls were placed here, and rare objects were found in the mortal world.


    "Don''t miss out on passing by. Legacy''s divine jade is on sale. It''s cheap. It can help you increase your cultivation!"


    "I''ve just killed a rank 3 beast core. It''s not for sale. I don''t want to sell it for a cheap price. I don''t want to sell it for 888, 688 low-rank soul stones!"


    "He''s selling spiritual herbs. I''ve come to take a look at Tier 4 spiritual herbs. It''s definitely not a loss to buy them!"


    Yang Li couldn''t help but smile when he heard all the strange shouts in the market. There were definitely counterfeit goods in this kind of market. It was just that he didn''t know which fool would fall for it.


    "You evil merchant, why don''t you go and die when you sell a piece of broken animal skin for ten low-grade spirit stones?"


    "That''s right, that''s right. A piece of old animal skin with a hole in it. My Young Master is slightly interested. You actually asked for ten low-grade spirit stones!" With your mouth opened so wide, you better be careful not to knock your teeth out! "


    Yang Li heard a voice coming from the left. That old, cracked hide caught his interest. He looked to the left and saw a man who looked like a rich family''s young master standing in front of a stall.


    On the other hand, his servants were harshly pointing fingers at the booth owner. The booth owner merely glanced at them and said, "When the owner is not talking, the dog shouldn''t bark. It''s easy to bite the tongue!"


    More and more people were attracted by the commotion.


    "Are you out of your mind? Ten low rank soul stones, I can buy your entire stall. You''re telling me that ten low rank soul stones for a piece of animal skin? " The young master of the rich family opened his mouth, his tone was filled with disdain and impatience.


    "Five Spirit Stones. Give me the beast skin, and ten Spirit Stones will pack up your entire stall. Although I''m not interested in the rest, this small thing should be something that little girls like."


    Yang Li lowered his head to look at the items on the stall. When he saw the beast skin, his pupils constricted and he directly said, "Boss, give me the beast skin. You can have the spirit stones."


    With that said, he took out ten Spirit Stones and passed them to the stall owner. However, when the stall owner saw the Spirit Stones handed over by Yang Li, he immediately raised the price.


    "Now the price has increased, 20 low-rank soul stones."


    Yang Li''s expression turned ugly, but he quickly adjusted himself. There was a faint smile on his face.


    "Are you sure?"


    "I''m sure." The boss calmly said and didn''t pay any more attention to him.


    As for the surrounding people, they looked at the boss as if he was an idiot, but the boss still ignored them.


    At this time, the rich family''s young master looked at Yang Li with a bit of annoyance. It didn''t matter how much money I spent on what I wanted to buy, but why did you suddenly appear and fight over it with me?


    "Kid, you dare to snatch the things I want to buy? Don''t you know me? " The young master of the rich family said arrogantly.


    Yang Li ignored him and pointed at a small, spear-like accessory on the stall as he spoke to the owner.


    "Twenty low rank soul stones are too expensive. You were selling them at the price of ten soul stones just now. How about this, fifteen spirit stones. Take this little thing with you and I''ll go back and play with it for my younger brother."


    The owner glanced at him, then looked at the pendant he was pointing to and said indifferently, "Twenty low rank soul stones, two of them for you."


    When Yang Li heard these words, he was overjoyed. On the surface, however, he looked as if it was difficult for him to make up his mind.


    At this time, the rich family''s young master saw Yang Li ignore him and was enraged. He raised his hand and sent a stream of Essence to attack Xiang Yang Li!


    Yang Li didn''t even look at him as he casually sent out some Essence Qi to disperse his attack. He then said to the stall owner, "Alright, I''ll pay twenty Spirit Stones for twenty Spirit Stones. I''m in a rush to get rid of the flies, so I won''t bargain with you anymore."


    After he finished speaking, he handed the spirit stones to the boss and took the two items that he wanted.


    He turned around and looked at the young master from the rich family, his eyes full of ridicule and disdain.

 C14

    Perhaps that rich family''s young master was too spoiled and spoiled to realize the disparity between him and Yang Li. His attack of anger was easily obliterated by Yang Li.


    The two servants beside him were anxious. They immediately stood up with fiendish expressions.


    "Brat, it''s not too late for you to admit your wrongs!" Do you know who my Young Master is? " A servant shouted to Yang Li.


    "A dog that bites doesn''t bark. It can bark but a dog doesn''t bite. It seems like your servant is the same as you, a piece of trash." Yang Li looked coldly at the rich young master.


    "Brat, don''t you think you''re being a bit too arrogant? "You''re the first person in Jiang Wang City who dares to talk to me like this!" Yang Wei said angrily.


    When the surrounding people heard his name, they wanted to laugh, but they didn''t dare to. All of them held their breaths as their shoulders trembled.


    However, Yang Li was different. When he heard this name, he was stunned for a moment before bursting out in laughter.


    "Impotence? The name your family gave you is really special! "


    "Brat, you''re courting death!" Yang Wei was originally furious, but when he heard this sentence, his entire body exploded.


    "Raging Inferno Burning Body!"


    Yang Wei waved the fan in his hand towards Yang Li, and a majestic aura of destruction rushed towards Yang Li!


    The scarlet red energy caused the temperature around him to increase by several degrees, as if it was going to burn him into ashes.


    However, Yang Li did not even bother to dodge. He casually set up a barrier and yawned. He watched with interest as the incoming Essence Qi bombarded the barrier.


    When Yang Wei''s servant saw that Yang Li did not even try to dodge, he immediately began flattering Yang Wei.


    "Young master''s power is unrivaled, his elegance is peerless. This silly kid was directly frightened by Young Master''s spirit art and didn''t dare to even move." A servant said with a flattering look on his face.


    "Right, right, right. He''s just a country bumpkin who''s never seen the world and yet dares to provoke a young master at the sixth level of Qi Accumulation. Now, it''s a waste of time for him to die." The other servant wasn''t willing to fall behind either.


    Yang Wei saw that Yang Li did not defend against his magic technique, and the flattery from the two servants made him feel extremely comfortable. His anger also gradually dissipated and became extremely happy.


    He proudly looked around, only to see that others were looking at them as though they were idiots, and his complexion had turned slightly unsightly. Just as he was about to reprimand them in anger, he heard a lazy voice.


    "Didn''t you eat lunch? Use more strength! "My elemental energy barrier hasn''t shattered."


    Yang Wei''s face immediately turned black, while the two servants immediately shut their mouths after hearing Yang Li''s voice. They didn''t even dare to breathe loudly.


    Yang Wei did not believe that this was just another move from the Burning Fire Body, but Yang Li was still unharmed.


    Yang Li yawned again and felt bored. He gathered some Essence Qi and threw it out. Although it wasn''t as gorgeous as his technique, just Essence gave off a feeling of certain death.


    Yang Wei was no exception. When he saw Yang Li''s Essence Qi shooting towards him, he quickly set up two Essence Qi barriers around himself and once again used Burning Fire to try to break Yang Li''s attack, but the result made him afraid.


    Not only did his attack not destroy Yang Li''s attack, but it had instead been destroyed. The Essence that had broken through his attack did not weaken at all, directly smashing apart his barrier and shooting towards his chest.


    At this moment, a ray of light appeared and blocked the attack for Yang Wei. Yang Wei was completely drenched, and almost lost his life on the spot!


    The anger in his heart was completely suppressed by fear, and he did not dare to move.


    "Young man, please let us go. Let this matter go, and don''t make things difficult for the young master of the Yang family." An elderly voice sounded from behind Yang Wei.


    Yang Li looked over indifferently, and saw an old man with white hair and beard walking over.


    "I am Li He, the protector of the Eastern City Cultivator Market. I am here to prevent any major conflicts or human lives from happening and to maintain order."


    "Young man, can you give this old man some face? "How about we just drop this matter?" Although the old man was asking, his tone was commanding.


    At this moment, Yang Wei interrupted, "Grandpa Li, you have to help me. This guy tried to kill me after he stole my thing!"


    When Li He heard this, his expression instantly became unsightly: "So it turns out that you even stole something! Then, just hand the items over and scram! "


    Yang Li''s eyes immediately became cold and indifferent.


    "Haha, what a joke. I was clearly the one who bought it, yet you said I stole it and told me to scram. Is this what you call a guardian? Was this what it meant to maintain order? There wasn''t even the least bit of fairness! "Pfft!"


    "Young man, pay attention to your words. If you want to be fair, then use your strength to fight for it. But your strength is not enough for you to be fair!"


    When Li He heard Yang Li''s words, he was not too angry. Instead, he spoke in a rather dull tone.


    "You''re right, fairness is earned through strength, so what? Do you dare to kill me in public? Take back the treasure that Yang Wei said I stole from him? "


    "I can tell you very clearly! As long as you don''t kill me today, ten years later, I will make you beg for mercy on your knees! "


    Yang Li said these words in an extremely cold and confident tone. He looked at Li He''s eyes that gradually became cold, but did not cower in the slightest.


    "Have all the little kids nowadays become so arrogant? It looks like after all these years of not taking action, my name, Blood Demon Li He, has already weakened. " Li He was completely enraged.


    "Blood Demon Li He? I''m sorry, I''ve never heard of it. " Even though Yang Li''s strength was far inferior to Li He''s, he still did not cower or give in.


    Yang Li secretly resented this in his heart. Give me another ten years, what does this kind of old thief count for!


    "Arrogant brat, then you can pay the price for your arrogance. I''ll teach you in place of your parents how to speak to your elders!" With that said, Li He sent a strand of Essence towards Yang Li!


    "You can humiliate me, but you actually dare to humiliate my family! "Old thief, I, Yang Li, swear that as long as you don''t kill me today, ten years, no, five years later, I will let you know what regret is!" Yang Li looked at Li He''s attack with an ice-cold expression as he spoke each word.


    Even if Li He''s Qi was very difficult to resist, he was never afraid of it!


    Yang Li circulated all of his Essence. Without slacking off, he prepared to fight!


    At this time, Li He''s attack had also arrived. Just as his Essence was about to hit Yang Li''s body.


    A ray of green light suddenly sprinkled onto Yang Li''s body. Li He''s attack was immediately obliterated.


    "Li He, you''ve really lived to the death of a dog, you actually made things difficult for a youth!" An old man suddenly appeared in front of Yang Li, speaking with extreme sarcasm.


    "Sun Sheng, what do you mean?" Li He''s gaze froze as he stared at the old man that suddenly appeared.


    "There''s no meaning. Please seek justice for the savior of my Sun family''s princess!"


    Yang Li had been accumulating his origin energy in order to fight to the death. But now that he saw Sun Sheng appear, he felt a bit surprised.


    "Wooden Summoning Thousand Boat!"


    Streams of green spirit energy appeared from all directions, forming the shape of small boats. However, the tops of these small boats were extremely sharp, and were suffused with a cold light.


    With a wave of Sun Sheng''s robe, all of them charged towards Li He!


    "30,000-meter multicolored light!" Li He used a defensive spirit art with a serious expression. The Essence in his body surged out, forming a barrier of light in front of him.


    The green colored small boat rushed over and fiercely smashed into the barrier. More than half of the small boat was blocked outside, but there was still a portion of the small boat that rushed towards him without any obstructions.


    Li He could only hastily release an origin energy barrier to block, but a few small boats were still able to break through the barrier and crash into him. He couldn''t help but feel his chest tighten as he spat out a mouthful of blood!


    "I''ll teach you a lesson today. Since Yang Li has said that he will definitely kill you in the future, then leave your head to Yang Li!" I won''t overstep my authority. "


    With that, Sun Sheng waved his hand and led Yang Li to his side, disappearing without a trace.


    "..."


    In an inn at the north side of River Wang City.


    Sun Sheng brought Yang Li here and gently asked, "Yang Li, I didn''t kill him. Are you disappointed?"


    "It''s not a problem. Senior Sun, on the contrary, junior thanks senior for not killing him." Yang Li said respectfully.


    "Although junior''s current strength is off, in at most five years, junior will personally kill him. He will only be a stepping stone for me on my path forward!"


    "Good, good, good. It seems like I''m not mistaken. Yang Li boy, this old man is waiting for you to kill him. Otherwise, this old man will lose face along with you!" Sun Sheng laughed extremely happily.


    "Senior, don''t worry. This time, you have saved junior''s life. Even if it''s for your reputation, I will definitely kill him!" Yang Li also smiled as he spoke, feeling extremely relaxed in his heart.


    "Of course I believe in you. Oh right, Yao Yao is next door, the little girl has been talking about you every day for the past two days, even I, her grandfather, am jealous. Do you want to meet Yao Yao?" Sun Sheng and Yang Li joked, but they still asked Yang Li.


    "Senior must be joking, but Yaoyao''s words are still missing for the time being. After all, Yaoyao is still young, and her mind is still immature, which is why she talks about junior. If we meet again, it might be even more difficult for her to cultivate." Yang Li said after thinking for a while.


    Hearing this, Sun Sheng laughed loudly.


    That was true. After the last incident, the naughty Yao Yao was actually so submissive to this brat Yang Li. If they were to meet again, that Yao Yao would definitely be so happy that she would pester this brat again.


    Sun Sheng felt a trace of appreciation towards Yang Li''s consideration.


    However, if he were to know that the reason he came to help Yang Li out of trouble this time was because Yao Yao had pestered him and she had used him to cultivate well as a guarantee to obtain her help, what would he think?


    He said to Yang Li, "Not bad, cultivate well. In the future, this land will definitely have a great reputation for you. I hope that one day, I will be able to witness the day when you surpass that bastard Li He."


    "Thank you for your praise, senior. I will definitely work hard. If I ever achieve something in the future, I will never forget the help that senior has given me today!" Yang Li respectfully said.


    "Alright, then I won''t disturb you anymore. You can focus on your cultivation. Nothing will happen to me if I stay next door."


    When Sun Sheng heard Yang Li''s words, he nodded and bid his farewells to Yang Li.


    As for Yang Li, after Sun Sheng left, his eyes also became cold.


    "Li He, live five years in peace. Five years from now, I''ll definitely kill you!"

 C15

    Yang Li checked himself and found that his body was in excellent condition, as if the injuries he had suffered tonight were non-existent.


    He could not help but sigh at the wonder in Sun Sheng''s medical skills. Afterwards, he took out the beast skins and spear accessories he had bought from the stalls.


    The reason Yang Li bought these two items was because he had a vague feeling that these two items had a calling feeling.


    Moreover, his intuition told him that these two things would greatly affect and change him.


    After observing for a long time, he did not find anything that stood out, just like his own beast skin.


    "His own beast skin?" Yang Li''s eyes lit up.


    He took out his own beast skin and put the two together. He discovered that the aura the two beasts were emitting was exactly the same.


    It was just that the broken parts were different, so he could not help but have a headache.


    Time quietly passed by while Yang Li was deep in thought. The moonlight outside the window gradually shined into the room as time passed.


    Not long after, it shined on the two beast skins. The two beast skins suddenly began to emit light, fusing together in front of Yang Li''s surprised eyes.


    A memory was imprinted into his mind.


    "The Time and Space Beast Skin can be used to connect to the Ancient Era. Every time it is used, it can be cultivated for two hours. Every month, it can be entered once, and every year, it can be used to ignore Spirit Formations."


    "Ancient secret location?" Yang Li vaguely felt that it was a little familiar. Suddenly, he remembered an ancient book that he had once read.


    According to the ancient books, the ancient era was already a million years away.


    In ancient times, there were ten great suns in the sky, all of which were Golden Crows of the Demon God Realm. The entire land was scorching hot, and it was difficult for humans to live in them.


    In the end, humans had Great God Houyi who rose with all his might and cultivated to the peak of the Emperor God Realm. He killed nine golden crows and left only one for humanity to live on, destroying their souls and creating a sun.


    The sun that was currently visible on the continent was the sun that was rumored to have been created by Lord Houyi.


    From then on, humans relied on their strong reproduction ability and extremely high comprehension ability to step into a higher realm step by step, and the level of their strength even surpassed that of demon beasts.


    Many cities were built for the survival of mankind, but a great change took place in the heaven and earth. Demons attacked the continent, and the demons joined forces to resist the demons. The great war lasted for three thousand years.


    In the final battle, the human king and demon gods risked their lives to seal the continent''s entrances and perished in this battle in order to completely drive away the demons.


    Because of the final battle, the amount of Essence in the continent had dropped to about a tenth of what it was in ancient times.


    This led to very few people breaking through to the Emperor God Realm in these several hundred thousand years. The last record regarding the realm of the Emperor God was still from five hundred thousand years ago.


    After that, Yang Li could no longer recall. He only remembered that the last demon beast to break through to the Emperor God Realm was a demon beast known as the Space and Time Beast.


    "What does that have to do with the animal skin in my hand?" Yang Li muttered to himself, and then he thought for a long time, but still couldn''t come up with a conclusion.


    "Forget it, let''s not think about it anymore. Now that I have such a treasure, why would I need to worry about not reaching the peak!" I will not regret this gift to the heavens for the rest of my life! " Yang Li no longer let his imagination run wild. Instead, he became even more determined.


    After fusing the two pieces of beast skin with his mind, he could sense something. The next time he would enter, it would be 13 days later.


    He could use his Essence to directly enter. At the same time, there were other uses to the beast skin that required him to slowly excavate.


    After putting away the beast skin, Yang Li looked at the small accessory. He had a faint intuition that this spear was not simply a accessory.


    He tried to inject Essence Qi into it, but it was useless. The long spear remained unchanged. He took out another basin of water and soaked it in the water, but there was no response.


    He used all sorts of methods, but he still couldn''t build a tree.


    "I''ve used all sorts of methods, but none of them worked. Could it be that this really isn''t a treasure?" Yang Li muttered to himself.


    "Right, drop of blood!" Yang Li suddenly thought of how his beast skin and space ring had been bound together by blood. Perhaps this treasure was the same.


    Thinking of this, he bit his finger and dripped blood.


    A fiery red long spear appeared in his hand as a brilliant light flashed. At the same time, he felt as if his consciousness was intertwined with the spear.


    "Sure enough!" Yang Li was overjoyed, carefully observing this treasure.


    The body of the spear was carved with a vivid and lifelike phoenix. The entire spear carried a violent aura, but it was also suffused with an extremely vast amount of righteous energy.


    The spear shaft and the spearhead were made of the same material, but it was unknown what material it was made of. As warm as jade in his hand, it was also extremely light and light.


    "Master." Yang Li suddenly heard a soft voice and his body broke out in a cold sweat, because this voice appeared in his mind.


    "Who is it!" Yang Li shouted.


    "It''s me, master. I''m here." The voice seemed to have become somewhat aggrieved.


    "Where are you?" When Yang Li heard this voice, he felt wronged and his voice softened.


    "Master, I''m the gun in your hands." the voice said again.


    "The gun in my hand?" Yang Li looked doubtfully at the gun in his hand.


    "Yes, yes! "That''s me. My name is Feng''er, and I''m the Spirit of the spear." As if he saw Yang Li looking at the spear in his hand, the voice spoke in an extremely joyous manner.


    At this time, Yang Li recalled that everything had a spirit, and some treasures also had their own souls. Some had innate talents, and some were nurtured in the Houtian realm.


    If a swordsman used a sword since young and was devoted to the sword, they could nurture their soul with their body. Of course, the stronger they were, the faster they could nurture a spirit.


    Of course, there were also evil and righteous spirits. Judging from the weapon in his hand, this artifact spirit was clearly a righteous artifact spirit.


    "Master, I''ve been asleep for too long, and I was just woken up by you. My ability is very weak, so Master shouldn''t dislike me." Feng Er''s voice suddenly became very aggrieved as she spoke.


    "That doesn''t matter, but if you recover, what can I help you with?" Yang Li was certain of the existence of a spear spirit.


    "If Master gives me high level ores and demon cores, I can also absorb the energy stored within."


    "Oh, then how can I give it to you?" Yang Li remembered that he still had a dozen or so demon cores on him. After all, low-level demon cores couldn''t be sold for much money, so he might as well let Feng''er absorb them.


    "Master, you can just stick the demon core on the gun! But after absorbing it, I will fall asleep, because I need to digest it, but after I recover to a certain degree, I can come out to see Master! " Feng Er said excitedly.


    "Can''t spirit stones help you recover?" Yang Li asked curiously.


    "You can''t help me, that''s only suitable for you humans to absorb and use, not for me." Feng Er said softly.


    "Alright, I understand. I still have a bit of Demonic Core, I''ll let you absorb it first."


    "Okay, okay, but after absorbing it, I will fall asleep. Master has a powerful old grandpa in the room next to his, you still can''t beat him, so you have to be careful." Feng Er said with great concern.


    "Alright, I understand." With that said, Yang Li took out all of the remaining demon cores and pasted them onto the spear''s body.


    Before long, all of the Demonic Cores had turned into powder. The gentle breeze outside the window blew them away.


    Yang Li put away his spear, lay down on the bed and closed his eyes. As he thought back to everything that had happened today, he suddenly felt that something was strange. He felt even more confident about the future, and fell into a deep sleep.


    In the blink of an eye, it was already dawn. Yang Li tidied himself up and prepared to return to the sect. Just as he was about to leave, he thought for a moment and then turned around to knock on the Sun family''s grandfather-grandson pair''s door.


    "Senior Sun, are you there?" Yang Li asked politely.


    "He''s here!" Yao Yao, on the other hand, rushed in front of her grandfather to open the door.


    Seeing Yao Yao, Yang Li smiled and rubbed her head. He faced Sun Sheng and said, "Many thanks to Senior Sun for saving my life and for protecting me last night."


    "Yang Li, you''re too polite. When you have the ability, just help Yao Yao a little more. This girl really likes you."


    "I dare not, but Yang Li will definitely do his best to help in the future. However, this junior has left the sect for a long time and has calculated that it will be time for me to return. Therefore, I have come to bid senior farewell."


    "Good. Yang Li, you can go back first then. Don''t forget to come visit Yaoyao when you have some free time in the future." Sun Sheng nodded with a smile.


    "Junior will naturally not forget. Then junior will no longer disturb you, farewell!" Yao Yao, you have to obediently listen to what your grandfather has to say. Don''t run around like that, I''ll come see you when I have time. "


    Yang Li''s last sentence, however, was directed at Yao Yao. Yao Yao unwillingly said, "Okay, then big brother Yang Li take good care of yourself. I''ll wait for you to come and play with me."


    Yang Li smiled but did not speak. He cupped his hands together again and turned to leave.


    River Gazing City was a whole day''s distance away from the Misty City. As Yang Li''s Essence realm was still lower, it was not as fast as renting a horse carriage.


    Thus, Yang Li rented a carriage, while he sat in it to cultivate.


    His cultivation was never-ending, and by the time the coachman called for him, he was already in Misty City.


    After the coachman woke him up, he smiled and said, "Young Master, if that lackey of mine had half of your effort, I believe he would have been able to enter the sect by now."


    "You''re really working hard."


    "Old master is praising me too much. It''s just that I''m not willing to fall behind. I''ll be troubling you on the way. I''ll take my leave first. Master, take your time." With that, Yang Li turned and walked towards the Sky Mist Sect.


    The coachman watched his back, his eyes filled with envy. "If only my silly boy could enter the sect, alas!"


    "The Sky Mist Sect is here, no one is allowed to enter unless the mountain gates are open!" When Yang Li returned to the sect, he looked at the stone tablet to the right of the sect. The words were written in bold and bold strokes, but it also carried with it a surging presence.


    He couldn''t help but sigh. Although he had only been away for a month, the feeling he gave off was as if he had not returned for many years.


    Yang Li slowly walked upwards step by step, just like when he had first entered the sect with his father accompanying him. However, it was as if five years ago, everything was the same, yet everything was different.

 C16

    Every sect''s entrance was guarded by disciples. The Sky Mist Sect was naturally no exception. Other than the patrolling disciples, there were also countless hidden guards.


    When Yang Li walked to the entrance of the mountain, he was stopped by two disciples who made him show their identity tokens.


    Yang Li was clear on this point. In order to verify the identity of the disciples, Yang Li took out the order badge from his waist and handed it over to the two of them.


    After the two of them carefully checked, they exchanged glances and one of them shouted, "Where are the patrolling disciples? Quickly take him down. This person is not a disciple of my sect. He is suspected to be an evil person."


    As his voice fell, he heard the sound of wind breaking. The spirit binding techniques landed on Yang Li''s body, preventing him from escaping.


    Yang Li''s gaze turned cold as he asked, "What do you all mean by this? Is the identity token fake? "


    One of the disciples who guarded the mountain sneered and said, "Servant disciple Yang Li died in the Misty Cloud Forest a month ago. Mo Luo and tens of thousands of disciples testified."


    "But now that you''ve suddenly appeared with Yang Li''s identity plate, how can we not suspect your origins and motives?"


    "If you obediently surrender and follow us to the Law Enforcement Hall, then whether you''re an evil person or a true disciple will naturally be decided by the Law Enforcement Hall!"


    "And if I am judged to be myself?" Yang Li''s eyes narrowed, but there was a hint of anger within them. 1 January Feng Chen had worked hard in his cultivation and died twice.


    Yet, he was being made a fool of by two disciples, blocking in front of the mountain gate and placing layers upon layers of restrictions on it. How could he not be angry!


    "Since it''s determined to be me, I''ll let you enter the sect. What else do you want?" A sect guarding disciple disdainfully said.


    "If you find out that it''s me, then you will have to kneel down and apologize. If you do not apologize, then, I will beat you until you beg for mercy!" Yang Li''s eyes were ice-cold as he looked at the two Mountain Guarding disciples. He slowly said this.


    "Heh, what big words you have there! Let''s talk about it when you come out of the Law Enforcement Hall alive!" Take him away! " One of the disciples waved his hand and ordered the other disciples to escort Yang Li to the Law Enforcement Hall.


    Along the way, there were many disciples who saw him. There were also many who recognized Yang Li and pointed at him.


    "Isn''t that Yang Li? Didn''t Wan Hao and the others say that Yang Li had already died? " A disciple who recognized Yang Li said in surprise.


    "Are you for real?" "Yo, it''s true. Now this will be interesting." The other disciple didn''t believe it at first, but when he turned around, he realized it was true.


    "Maybe someone else is faking it. Otherwise, why would the patrolling senior brother escort him?" Another view spoke up.


    "Who cares. Whether he''s truly Yang Li or not has nothing to do with us. Even if he is, Wan Hao will not let him go." Another disciple said in a disdainful tone.


    Yang Li ignored this group of people, completely ignoring what they were saying. Regarding the verification of his identity, he had no doubt that he could pass. Instead, he was thinking about how he could make the two guardian disciples pay the price.


    Being insulted while he was far away from the mountain gate, he would definitely not swallow his anger like this.


    After a while, he arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall. A few patrolling disciples escorted him to the torture chamber to guard him while another disciple went to call for an elder of the Hall. Although this was a small matter, it was related to the murder of the disciples of the sect, so he had to be cautious.


    Not long after, an elder came in. As he saw Yang Li, he impatiently said, "Speak, who are you? Why did you kill my sect''s disciples? You must disguise yourself."


    "Disciple Yang Li, please feel free to ask any questions you wish." Yang Li raised his head and replied coldly.


    "How dare you!" You actually dare to talk to me like this! " The Elder''s expression turned cold as he shouted loudly.


    "You kept saying that I killed sect disciples! and not to verify my identity, and to confirm whether I am a sect disciple or not! How else do you want me to talk to you? Kneeling and bowing, huh? Then I''ll tell you now! I, Yang Li, cannot do it! "


    Yang Li was extremely angry as well. His disciple had undiscriminatingly escorted him to the Law Enforcement Hall and even the Law Enforcement Hall''s elder had come over to distrust him. An extremely stifling feeling arose within his heart as he suddenly felt a killing intent.


    "Insolent beast, this old man will kill you right now!" Even if you are a service disciple and you are wronged, who gave you the right to criticize the elder! " The Law Enforcement Hall Elder was furious and released a mighty aura. The disciples on both sides didn''t make a sound as their bodies were covered in cold sweat.


    Only Yang Li stubbornly looked at the Law Enforcement Elder. He didn''t cower, nor did he lower his head.


    Suddenly, a voice floated into the Law Enforcement Elder''s ears. "Elder Xue, let him go. I know this child."


    "Secret transmission!" "But this voice is?" Elder Xue''s mind involuntarily tightened as he quickly recalled.


    "Yes, that''s right, it''s the Third Elder who is guarding the Scripture Pavilion!"


    Thinking of who it was, Elder Xue hurriedly said respectfully, "Supreme Elder, it''s not that I don''t want to let him go, it''s just that a few disciples called Yang Li were killed in the Misty Forest a month ago."


    "That''s why I suspect that this person was a fake Sect Disciple who snuck in."


    "Then you can just ask him a few questions and then let him go. Just follow the procedures to confirm his identity. He might be the future leader of the sect because of some good fortune. Also, you can''t tell anyone else about this."


    "Yes, Grand Elder." Elder Xue did not receive a reply for a long time.


    He then lowered his head to look at Yang Li, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.


    He had just said he would kill him when he turned around to ask for his identity and let him go. This was too embarrassing.


    Suddenly, Elder Xue''s eyes lit up. He thought of a way to resolve the situation and withdrew the pressure he was emitting back into his body. Afterwards, he sent the other disciples away.


    "You guys go outside and stand guard. I''ll interrogate them by myself. Do not spread news of what happened here!" Do you understand? "


    Several disciples quickly responded as if they were looking at a fiend. Then, they quickly ran out.


    Seeing that his disciples had left, Elder Xue turned to look at Yang Li and smiled awkwardly.


    However, his face turned cold. "Your life is really good. There are people willing to bear the consequences for you, but the necessary interrogation is necessary."


    "Next, let me ask and you can answer. If there''s even the slightest bit of inaccuracy, I will kill you even if I have to risk offending others!" Do you hear me? "


    However, Yang Li laughed coldly: "I, Yang Li, have grown up. I don''t know how to tell a lie, and I disdain lying!"


    Elder Xue suddenly felt a toothache, but had no choice but to continue asking.


    "Name."


    "Yang Li."


    "Place of birth."


    "A citizen of Liuhuo City."


    "When will you be coming to our sect?"


    "Five years ago, I came here with my father to take him as my master. I have been in the sect for five years and one month."


    "Did the sect hold a position?"


    "Servant disciples for five consecutive years."


    When Elder Xue heard this, he suddenly had some doubts. A disciple at the middle of the fifth level, how could he be a five year old service disciple?


    However, he didn''t think too much about it. There were plenty of people who had broken through two realms in a year. Perhaps he had just broken through from the late third layer to the intermediate fifth layer this year.


    "The cultivation of the past few years?"


    "The first five years, the first level of the Qi Accumulation Stage. This year, the middle level of the Qi Accumulation Stage will be reached."


    "Someone said you ¡­" "Wait, what did you say?" Elder Xue was about to continue asking when he suddenly realized what Yang Li had said.


    In the first five years, he had reached the first layer. This year, he had reached the middle of the fifth layer. This meant that he had broken through to the middle of the fifth layer in one year. This was simply a miracle!


    Elder Xue took a deep breath before slowly opening his mouth and speaking.


    "Putting aside your cultivation base, tell me why someone said that you died in the Misty Forest a month ago."


    "I don''t know." Yang Li spoke in an extremely cold voice, not the slightest bit moved by Elder Xue''s shock.


    He wanted to kill those few pieces of trash with his own hands, so naturally, he would not tell this so-called Elder Xue what was going on.


    Elder Xue heard his answer but was not angered. Instead, he said, "You can choose to answer the last question or not. Whether you answer it or not, you can leave."


    "I refuse to answer." Yang Li rejected him without a second thought. He could imagine how Elder Xue had wanted to ask him how he managed to reach the fifth level of Qi Accumulation in a year.


    Elder Xue who was about to ask opened his mouth, but was somewhat confused by his clear-cut actions. In the end, he helplessly said, "Okay, then you can leave. I will take care of the other matters."


    With that said, he casually released the binding spirit technique on Yang Li and waved to Yang Li to leave. Yang Li did not hesitate to directly walk out.


    As Elder Xue saw Yang Li leave, he began to wonder if he should inform the sect master about Yang Li''s progress from the first level of Qi Accumulation to the middle of the fifth floor.


    Even though he started a bit late, he was still an extreme genius.


    Cultivate properly in the future, and you will be the pillar of the sect in the future.


    In the end, he could not help but sigh. "Forget it, just let nature take its course. In any case, with his talent, the Sect Leader will soon notice it."


    Thinking of this, Elder Xue immediately got up and left, conveniently dismissed the patrolling disciples.


    Yang Li had just left when he saw Wan hao. Mo Luo was at the entrance speaking to a few service disciples.


    Seeing Yang Li come out, Mo Luo''s pupils suddenly shrank, his heart was a little flustered.


    "It really is Yang Li! He actually didn''t die in the Misty Forest?"


    Wan Hao saw Yang Li. He glanced at Mo Luo and then looked at Yang Li, a sinister smile hanging on his lips.


    "Junior brother Yang Li, long time no see, I really miss you." Wan Hao stretched out his hand as if he wanted to shake hands with Yang Li.


    However, Yang Li looked at his outstretched hand and disdainfully said, "Trash and scum like you don''t need to shake hands with me. They''re too dirty."


    Wan Hao''s face darkened as he heard this. The corners of his mouth twitched as he said, "Yang Li, after entering the Misty Forest this time and not dying yet, your mouth is even better."


    "Not bad, I''m still a bit lacking compared to you." Yang Li continued without giving any face.


    "Oh? Is that so? Then let me tell you, this world respects strength. If one''s strength is insufficient, it is easy to die! " Wan Hao''s face darkened, but he still tried his best to stay calm.


    "Although my strength isn''t that great, I should be a bit stronger when compared to you. My cultivation base isn''t high, and I''m only at the middle of the fifth level of Qi Accumulation." Yang Li said indifferently, his eyes staring at Mo Luo.


    Mo Luo lowered his head, not daring to look Yang Li in the eye. He stealthily moved behind Wan Hao.


    Wan Hao didn''t notice Mo Luo''s actions, but he heard Yang Li''s words and let out an unfathomable smile.


    "Middle stage of the fifth level of Qi Accumulation. What a coincidence. Me too, I wasn''t able to fight with you last time, why don''t we do it this time?" Wan Chao said sinisterly.


    Yang Li looked at him strangely. "Are you sure?"


    Wan Hao nodded his head with certainty: "I''m sure, very sure."


    Yang Li held his forehead and sighed: "I could have let you go if you hadn''t challenged me, but you''re so stupid. Then let''s go, trash, don''t waste time."


    "Yang Li, you''re courting death!" I hope you can still say that on the stage! " Wan Hao, who was originally angry, became angry as he heard Yang Li''s words.


    "Cut the crap. I''ll be waiting for you on the stage. Don''t waste my time." After he finished speaking, Yang Li walked towards the arena.


    Today, he was going to fiercely slap Wan Hao''s face. Using facts, he was going to show him what a difference was and what a lack of self-awareness was.


    30 years in the east, 30 years in the west, don''t look down on the poor!

 C17

    The news of Wan Hao challenging Yang Li quickly spread. Many service disciples and outer court disciples walked towards the martial stage, discussing as they walked.


    "Wan Hao used his challenge chance to challenge that Yang Li? Then wouldn''t this Yang Li die for sure!? "


    "Who says it isn''t? Wan Sheng had been giving his younger brother many treasures recently! Come, come, come, let''s take a gamble on how many moves Yang Li will be defeated. "


    "Let me bet a move!" Not to mention cultivation, if Wan Hao were to take out all of the treasures that his brother had given him, even a seventh level Qi Accumulation stage disciple would be able to do it in a second, let alone a nameless service disciple! "


    "Speaking of which, this Yang Li is quite unlucky. He''s probably a service disciple at the fifth level of Qi Accumulation. He was challenged by Wan Hao before he even returned to the Outer Duty Hall to be promoted. Interesting, hahaha!"


    "Quiet down. We''re at the martial arena. This kind of unilateral abuse is rare in the sect. Just watch and see."


    Discussions like this appeared all over the place as everyone waited for Yang Li to make a joke of himself.


    Although Yang Li couldn''t hear what they were discussing, even if Yang Li could, he wouldn''t care.


    Yang Li once again stood on the arena. He vaguely remembered the last time he stood on the arena, it was Xu Sheng who had challenged him. This time, it was Xu Sheng''s master, Wan Hao!


    A month ago, everyone was greatly shocked by the results of the challenge, and this time, it was likely to be no exception.


    No matter what kind of plot it is, I''ll destroy it with a single spear strike!


    Wan Hao was escorted into the arena by the crowd. As he saw Yang Li standing on the arena stage, a cruel smile hung on his face.


    "Yang Li, it''s still too late for you to admit defeat. If I enter the arena, then I won''t be responsible for the consequences. I might even have to lie in bed for several months!"


    Hearing Wan Hao''s words, his henchmen began to laugh, trying their best to ridicule Yang Li.


    "Hurry up and get down. Senior-apprentice Brother Wan Hao, if you attack, you will be injured or dead. Be careful not to turn into a corpse!" Even though the sect doesn''t allow death to occur in the arena, isn''t it inevitable that mistakes will occur? "


    "That''s right, that''s right. Quickly get the hell down. Don''t waste Senior Wan Hao''s time."


    However, Yang Li disdainfully said, "Wan Hao, why are your henchmen like you? Get over here right now! "I was still in a hurry to get an identity token."


    The smile on Wan Hao''s face froze and his face became gloomy: "Then you should prepare to stay in bed for a few months!"


    Finished speaking, Wan Hao jumped onto the arena.


    The host of the arena was the same blue-robed young man from before.


    Wan Hao bowed, "Greetings Senior Brother Li Luo, this disciple is here to complete the sect''s challenge."


    Li Luo glanced at him, then turned to look at Yang Li: "Middle stage of the fifth layer, outer sect disciple Wan Hao, challenge Yang Li who is also in the middle of the fifth layer, Yang Li, do you really accept?"


    "Accept!" Yang Li did not hesitate at all and very decisively accepted it.


    "Okay. Hand over your identity tokens to me. Receive them after the challenge ends."


    After saying that, Li Luo put away the tokens. Just like last time, he made a strange hand seal and left the ring.


    A fiery red enchantment slowly rose up from the arena. It contained a mysterious aura that seemed to be able to block any attack.


    "Begin the challenge!"


    Just as Li Luo''s voice faded, Wan Hao impatiently displayed his own cultivation technique.


    His entire body was surrounded by scarlet Spiritual Energy and appeared to be in the shape of armor. Moreover, a longsword appeared in his hand and he appeared to be extremely valiant and extraordinary.


    The people below the arena, however, were shocked.


    "Yellow Rank cultivation technique, ''Illusory Fire Secret Art''!" This time, Yang Li will suffer! "


    "I heard that this cultivation method is one of the higher grade Yellow Rank cultivation methods. Looking at Wan Hao''s appearance, it seems that he has been cultivating for a long time. I estimate that someone at the early Qi Accumulation stage would be able to challenge him six times."


    "I wonder what sort of cultivation method this Yang Li has. I heard that the last time he was challenged, he was still cultivating an unconventional cultivation method. Haha!"


    "Don''t bother with him. No matter what cultivation method he cultivates, he can''t stop Wan Hao''s Illusory Fire Arts. I heard that he also cultivates a matching martial art."


    Yang Li didn''t care about what the audience said. He looked at Wan Hao''s technique with interest and said, "Not bad, attack me and I''ll see how strong it is."


    "Yang Li, you''re courting death!" Wan Hao felt that he had been humiliated and became even angrier. He immediately began to attack Yang Li.


    "First move of the Illusionary Sword Technique, Sword Qi like a rainbow!"


    A scarlet sword qi came from the spirit sword formed by the ten thousand streaks of light, blotting out the sky and covering the earth. It was mixed with an aura that could destroy everything.


    But as Yang Li saw this attack, he felt extremely disappointed. He originally thought that Wan Hao''s attack would be very strong.


    However, Wan Hao''s attack gave him a feeling that it could be easily broken?


    "Why is it so weak?" Yang Li muttered. He didn''t even bother attacking. He casually placed down an origin energy barrier and waited for Wan Hao''s attack to come.


    When the audience saw Yang Li respond in such a manner, they all thought Yang Li had given up and began to mock him.


    However, before they could make a sound, a shocking scene appeared.


    Wan Hao''s appearance seemed extremely terrifying. In their eyes, a spirit technique that could resist a sixth layer Qi Accumulation Stage cultivator was actually blocked by Yang Li''s casually arranged origin energy barrier!


    In an instant, the entire audience burst into an uproar!


    Wan Hao was also extremely skeptical and thought that he used a treasure. He said, "Yang Li, I wonder how long your treasure will last? "Let''s try this move again!"


    "Second move of the Illusory Sword Technique, Myriad Shadows Soul Sword!" The Essence of Wan Hao''s body surged and the Essence of the Spirit Sword became denser and denser.


    Yang Li did not stop Wan Hao from accumulating his Essence and using his martial arts. He felt that this move would be stronger and wanted to see how powerful it would be.


    Wan Hao threw the spirit sword in his hand into the sky. The spirit sword rapidly split apart in the sky, forming thousands of small red swords.


    Wan Hao laughed, "Yang Li, feel my anger! "Go!"


    Following Wan hao''s order, the small, crimson sword fell down like a downpour of rain. The tip of the sword flashed with a cold light that gave off a feeling of shock.


    At this time, the disciples below the stage did not make a sound either, only a few of them were muttering amongst themselves.


    "This is the tempo of a man dying!"


    Yang Li looked at the rapidly descending small sword, and suddenly chuckled, "Wan Hao, you really are, too useless!"


    Yang Li took out his spear and released a Divine Flames that covered the sky. The fiery-red barrier completely blocked the small swords that fell from the sky, but it did not suffer any damage.


    Wan Hao felt that Yang Li''s martial arts had an aura that was countless times stronger than his own. He was suddenly a little flustered, but after calming down, he materialized a spirit sword once more.


    "Take another attack from me! The third move of the Illusionary Sword Technique! The blade became formless! The sword in Wan hao''s hand vanished. Only now did Yang Li feel a sense of danger.


    However, he didn''t panic. Instead, he casually pushed out the barrier formed by Divine Flame Mask in front of him, creating another barrier for himself. Then, he raised his long spear and looked at Wan Hao.


    Wan Hao wasn''t as relaxed as he was. He originally thought that Yang Li relied on his own treasures, but now he discovered that there was truly an extremely large gap between the two of them.


    Just as Yang Li''s spirit technique was about to collide with Wan Hao''s body, a gentle light emitted from Wan Hao''s body, protecting him from any harm.


    Yang Li also felt an invisible sword qi pass through his first layer of origin energy barrier, but it didn''t manage to pierce through his second barrier.


    Yang Li saw that his own spiritual technique had been blocked by Wan Hao and smiled. He opened his mouth and spat out a single word.


    "Explode!"


    With a ''peng'' sound, the barrier that Yang Li had been using to dodge the blow suddenly exploded, and the powerful impact knocked him to the edge of the stage.


    The powerful impact caused severe damage to Wan Hao''s body, and even a few of his bones were broken.


    When the audience saw this scene, they were all left speechless.


    Instant kill! One hit kill!


    Although this battle hadn''t lasted long and they hadn''t used many moves, they all felt that it was a very wonderful feeling!


    Some clever disciples muttered to themselves, "The outer sect is going to have another fiend that they can''t afford to offend.


    On the arena stage, Wan Hao attempted to stand up a few times, but he was unable to. At this time, Li Luo was on stage.


    Wan Hao challenged Yang Li, but Yang Li won!


    When Li Luo looked at Yang Li, his gaze was filled with surprise as well. In the beginning, he hadn''t thought much of Yang Li either.


    But Yang Li had used his own strength to prove himself.


    Li Luo said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Yang Li, congratulations on becoming famous with a single battle!"


    "Thank you for your praise, my junior''s status hasn''t even advanced yet, and I''ve already left." Yang Li smiled, bowed towards Li Luo, and left.


    "An incredible talent!" Li Luo muttered, but it was as if he suddenly came back to reality. He shouted, "The challenge is over, hurry up and send Wan Hao to the pill room for treatment."


    A few of Wan Hao''s henchmen hastily ran over to carry him away.


    This challenge had also completely ended.


    Even though Yang Li had yet to enter the outer sect, his deeds had already begun to circulate within the outer sect.


    After Yang Li left the arena, he immediately ran towards the External Affairs Hall. The promotion of his identity token needed to be done in the Outer Duty Hall.


    The External Affairs Hall was one of the most important halls in the Sky Mist Sect. Other than the direct disciples, all disciples were required to register, distribute training resources, and receive missions.


    It was also one of the most lucrative halls in the sect. Many disciples dreamed of becoming an elder or deacon of the External Affairs Hall to fish for more money.


    When Yang Li arrived at the Outer Duty Hall, it was bustling with noise and excitement, but it was clearly separated. The person who received the task was in one direction, the person who received the cultivation resources was in another direction, and the person who advanced was in another direction.


    Other than the servant disciples who could only rely on their cultivation to break through to the outer sect disciples, the direct disciples, top disciples, and inner sect disciples all had their own ways of advancing to the outer sect disciples.


    For example, if an outer disciple wanted to be promoted to become an inner disciple, there were two ways. One was to be under the age of twenty, and their cultivation would break through to the fourth level of the pure blood realm or higher. One was to be the first in the outer sect competition, and the other was to be a relative.


    There were also many ways for inner disciples to be promoted to a top disciple. For example, under the age of 30, a disciple at the fourth level of the Spirit Movement Stage could become a top disciple, the top disciple could be ranked first in the inner sect competition, and the direct disciple of an elder of the Spirit Fusion Stage could also become a top disciple.


    The inner disciples had another special way to advance, which was to pass the daily tests of the top disciples. However, this method could be said to be the most difficult.


    This test might not be a big deal for the top disciples, but for the inner disciples, all of their talents and strengths were indispensable. So far, only four or five people had managed to pass this test and become top disciples.


    Those people were all the pillars of the sect, and their names shook the entire region.


    The promotion of a direct disciple was simple. There were two ways. Under the age of 35, one could advance to the second level of the Spirit Realm! Or the various Palace Masters and Sect Leaders could choose for themselves! Completely relying on talent, it had nothing to do with anything else.


    However, this was still too early for Yang Li to think about it. He turned around and walked towards the disciple promotion area.

 C18

    Only two disciples were dozing off in the disciple promotion department, while a deacon was standing to the side with his eyes closed in meditation.


    Feeling Yang Li''s aura, the deacon opened his eyes and saw the two disciples dozing off beside him. He couldn''t help but frown.


    "Liu Yue, Deng Ming, wake up, someone is here to promote."


    When the two disciples heard the deacon''s voice, they shuddered. Raising their heads to look at Yang Li, they quickly smiled and said, "Hello junior brother, are you trying to promote yourself to the outer sect?"


    "Greetings Senior Brothers, Junior Brother is here to be promoted to the outer sect." Yang Li bowed and said.


    "Okay, okay, okay. This is the Realm Assessing Stone. Just put your spirit energy in and we''ll check your level." One of the disciples said as he pointed to a dark red stone on the left.


    "Yes." Yang Li responded and directly walked towards the Realm Assessing Stone and poured his spirit energy inside.


    The originally dark red stone slowly began to emit a red glow. At the same time, a green thread slowly rose from the middle of the stone. It only stopped when it was halfway up.


    "Middle stage of the fifth level of Qi Accumulation. Junior Brother, you have already passed the verification. Hand over your identity token to us." A disciple said with a smile.


    Hearing this, Yang Li took out his identity token and handed it over to the two disciples.


    After one disciple received the token, he walked towards the inner area of the Duty Hall. The other disciple took out two sets of clothes from a cabinet and handed them to him.


    "Junior brother, my name is Liu Yue, this is an outer court disciple''s uniform. I can only give out two sets during my first promotion. If it''s damaged, you will have to buy it yourself."


    "I''ll tell you about the rights and interests of outer sect disciples. For the first time ever, they will be promoted to the outer sect disciples. The Servant Hall will assign them a place to stay, but you''ll need to find them yourself."


    "At the same time, disciples who have advanced for the first time can enter the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion and receive either a set of Yellow Rank inner force skills or a set of martial arts."


    "Outer disciples get one spirit stone and three Yang Fire Pills every month. Yang Fire Pills can help us increase our cultivation, so the spirit stones and pills are collected in the Pill Hall."


    "Outer disciples are required to complete a third level mission every year. Of course, there are rewards for completing this mission."


    "The outer sect has a training tower for outer sect disciples. Entering it requires one spirit stone each time. You can enter it for three days at a time."


    "Oh right, I almost forgot. Outer sect disciples can join the Law Enforcement Hall to manage the service disciples. At the same time, disciples with a cultivation level above the sixth floor must, according to the sect''s arrangements, become sect guardians for one day at a time."


    "Once your identity token has reached the outer sect disciples, you can use it to communicate with other disciples, but both sides will need to leave communication tokens, and the sect will inform you through the tokens."


    Liu Yue thought for a moment, then finally said, "That''s about it. If there''s anything you don''t understand, you can come and ask us. If there''s anything that I haven''t told you in the future, don''t bear a grudge."


    "Thank you for telling me. I would like to ask, what is the division and distribution of tasks?" Yang Li could feel the goodwill emitted by Liu Yue, so he naturally wouldn''t be stingy with his respect.


    "The mission is divided into fourth level, third level and fourth level. The Ding level mission is the simplest, similar to the daily work of ordinary service disciples. It is just a description."


    "Rank C missions are slightly more difficult. For example, for outer sect disciples, entering the Misty Forest to look for alchemist''s herbs, or hunting demon beasts to take their body parts, depending on the difficulty of the mission, the rewards will be different."


    "The rank B mission is mainly targeted at the inner disciples, and it is also a little more difficult. For example, exterminating bandits at the foot of the mountain, or someone committing evil outside the city, and going to exterminate evil and defend the Dao, etc."


    "The A-level missions are for the top disciples. We don''t know the exact details, because we''re just the inner disciples right now." Liu Yue explained in an extremely patient manner.


    At this moment, Deng Ming returned with his token in his hand. When he saw Deng Ming returning, Liu Yue spoke up.


    "Junior brother, it seems that your token has been upgraded. The next time it is upgraded, you will be able to reach the fourth level of the pure blood realm and become an inner disciple. Or, you might even be accepted as a personal disciple."


    "Oh yeah, the outer court-martial competition will be held three months from now. If you can obtain the first place in the outer court-martial competition three months from now, then you can also enter the inner court-martial competition."


    "Thank you, senior apprentice-brother. I understand." Yang Li bowed.


    "Okay junior brother, then senior brother won''t waste any more of your time. Quickly go and find a place to cultivate. Senior brother will be waiting for you in the inner court." Liu Yue said with a smile.


    "Then junior brother will leave now. Goodbye, senior brother Liu." With that, Yang Li turned and left.


    "Liu Yue, why are you so passionate towards this Yang Li?" The deacon at the side also pricked up his ears in curiosity.


    "I just received a message from someone that Yang Li had been challenged by Wan Hao. Both of them are at the middle of the fifth level of Qi Accumulation, but Yang Li not only withstood the other''s attack unharmed, he actually defeated him in a single strike!"


    Liu Yue said as he watched Deng Ming leave.


    "This kind of person will definitely enter the inner sect or even the peak of the inner sect in the future. Although he has only entered the outer sect at the age of fifteen, I heard that he has been at the Qi Accumulating Stage Level 1 for the past five years."


    "No matter what treasure he obtained to raise his cultivation, but battle power cannot be faked. That''s why I am favoring him and leaving a good impression. When there is a need for help in the future, I believe that he will not reject it."


    On the side, Deng Ming and the deacon were left speechless. To kill someone of the same level in a single move, even though it was only at the fifth level of the Qi Accumulation Stage, was impossible for them to do so.


    To be able to instantly kill someone at the same level and challenge someone at a higher level was always a right of a heaven''s pride expert. It seemed that Yang Li would also step into the ranks of heaven''s pride experts.


    After Yang Li walked out of the External Affairs Hall, he thought for a moment and finally decided to settle down.


    The truth was that ever since he had killed Wan Hao in a single move, his reputation had risen greatly. No matter which hall he went to, the disciples would treat him very amiably and very warmly.


    The residence was definitely located in a very quiet place in the outer sect. Next to it was a small lake and bamboo forest, which were very suitable for cultivation.


    However, to Yang Li, this was only a temporary residence. He was destined to rarely return and stay here. He had been abandoned for five years, and now that he had achieved such an achievement, it was not enough for him to be proud of.


    He knew very well that he still had a long way to go.


    Yang Li took out an outer disciple''s uniform and prepared to change it before heading to the Pill Hall to collect a few spirit stones.


    The outer sect disciple''s attire was a pure blue robe with a gray insignia embroidered on the chest to indicate his status as an outer sect disciple. However, the inscriptions embroidered on the outer sect disciple''s chest also had four colors: gray, blue, purple, and gold.


    The outer sect''s ordinary disciples were gray. The top hundred disciples of the Blood Tempering Stage and the outer sect''s Large Competition were blue, and the top thirty were purple. The top ten were gold, which was also why the disciples were outstanding.


    Because he had just entered the outer sect, the words embroidered on his chest were still gray, but after the outer sect competition three months later, the color of the words embroidered on his chest would definitely change.


    After Yang Li put on the outer sect disciple uniform, he headed out of the Pill Hall to receive the Yang Fire Pills and spirit stones.


    The Yang Fire Pill was red all over. There were flaming lines on its surface and it emitted a faint pill fragrance. Although it was only a low level pill, it was still a good cultivation resource for the current Yang Li.


    Different disciples also received different pills. For example, the blue outer sect disciples could receive better Fiery Intense Flaming Pills, and the purple outer sect disciples could receive the same Heavy Yang Pills as the inner sect disciples.


    However, it was naturally not the same treatment as the inner disciples. The inner disciples could receive five pellets, but the outer disciples could receive two.


    As for the outer sect golden disciples, they received three, but on the other hand, it also emphasized the importance of one''s aptitude.


    Becoming in the top thirty of the Large Competition meant that you could use pills that only inner disciples could use to increase your cultivation. This way, your cultivation speed would be faster.


    Such a division also led to the strong becoming stronger, at the same time stimulating the weak to become stronger, making the sect stronger.


    After Yang Li received the pills and spirit stones, he went to the Scripture Pavilion.


    The fact that an outer disciple could obtain another martial art was extremely important to him because his spiritual arts were too lacking. He only had three moves of the Flame God''s Spear Art. He didn''t have a movement technique or a martial art with bare hands.


    If he lost his weapon in battle, it would be extremely embarrassing. He could only use the spiritual energy in his body to attack, which would be a huge waste of his spiritual energy.


    The Scripture Pavilion was still guarded by the white-haired elder. He sat cross-legged like the last time Yang Li had come.


    Sensing Yang Li''s approach, the elder opened his eyes. With a hint of a smile on his face, he asked, "Have you succeeded in cultivating the Flame God Incantation and Flame God''s Spear Art?"


    "Yes, elder. I have successfully cultivated it. Thank you for your guidance and care."


    "It''s just a small matter. Alright, seeing you come this time is because you''re going to choose an outer disciple cultivation technique." When the Elder saw the outer sect disciple uniform he was wearing, he nodded and said, "However, you are still five days short of a month''s punishment, or you can take out five Spirit Stones to compensate the punishment. After all, the sect rules cannot be broken."


    Hearing the price of five Spirit Stones, Yang Li frowned because this price was even higher than the price he had to pay when choosing a service disciple''s cultivation method.


    But then he thought, "That''s true, after all, punishments and choosing a cultivation technique are different."


    Thinking of this, Yang Li took out five spirit stones from his Space Ring and handed them over to the elder. He respectfully said, "Elder, please step aside and let this disciple enter to select a cultivation method."


    The Elder looked at his spatial ring and a hint of surprise appeared in the corner of his eyes. He didn''t ask anything further and just nodded and let Yang Li in.


    "Outer sect disciples can choose low Huang class, middle Huang class, or high Huang class to cultivate their inner force skills. On this basis, their martial arts will increase by one level, allowing them to choose peak Huang class martial arts."


    Yellow rank cultivation techniques are on the second and third floor. You can choose one of your own. A peak Huang rank martial art recommends that you practice it after you reach the Blood Tempering realm.


    "Yes." Yang Li replied and entered the Scripture Pavilion.


    As the Elder saw him enter, he felt an inexplicable sense of joy in his heart. With his cultivation, he could naturally feel Yang Li''s increase in cultivation.


    In less than a month''s time, he had gone from the middle of the third layer to the middle of the fifth layer.


    "Looks like the heavens have blessed our Sky Mist Sect. This generation of disciples is getting stronger and stronger. If the current generation of disciples grows up, our Sky Mist Sect will definitely become another big sect in the South Fire Region."


    Thinking of this, the Elder couldn''t help but smile, and he closed his eyes to continue cultivating.

 C19

    After Yang Li entered the Scripture Pavilion, he went straight to the third floor. He did not take the low Huang Level and intermediate level cultivation techniques in his eyes at all.


    He already had the Flame God Incantation, so he didn''t consider inner force cultivation techniques. Although he didn''t know what rank the Flame God Incantation was now, he felt that it wouldn''t be any lower than a Yellow Rank High Rank.


    Therefore, the reason why he entered the Scripture Pavilion was to choose a Yellow Level Peak Rank martial art.


    Yang Li also didn''t care about what the Elder said about the requirements for cultivation. He was confident in himself, and if he didn''t work hard enough to do what others couldn''t, how could he surpass them!


    On the first floor of the bookshelf, not only were there martial arts manuals, there were also all sorts of miscellaneous chats. As a result, there were many bookshelves, so the space was relatively small.


    On the second and third floor, the bookshelves were placed differently. Because there were only martial arts techniques and cultivation techniques, they were extremely loose. The tables and chairs beside the bookshelves were not crowded like those on the first floor.


    After Yang Li arrived at the third floor, his gaze swept around once before he ran towards the movement technique bookshelf. Defense, movement techniques, and unarmed martial arts were all that he lacked right now.


    Compared to defense and unarmed martial arts, defense now had the third style of the Flame God Spear Art, and unarmed martial arts were not something that was urgently needed. Therefore, movement techniques were the most important to him right now.


    Yang Li first flipped to the Advanced Level Yellow Rank martial arts. After looking through for a while and finding nothing suitable, he then directly rushed to the pinnacle martial arts.


    Although the pinnacle of martial arts was difficult to cultivate, it also showed how powerful it was. Yang Li quickly found three suitable cultivation techniques.


    "Peak of the Yellow Rank martial art. It cannot be cultivated unless one is at least at the seventh layer of Qi Accumulation. It is suitable for fighting and rushing through the battlefield. Using the power of the vortex to control the spiritual energy under one''s feet to move quickly or evade. Third realm."


    A split-second later, he said, "Peak Yellow Rank movement technique. It cannot be cultivated unless one is in the Blood Tempering realm. It is suitable for rushing and avoiding large scale battles. The blood energy of the Blood Tempering Realm is used to stimulate the spirit energy, thus the dodging speed is extremely fast. There are a total of five stages."


    Flowing Light Body Technique: "The peak of Yellow Rank martial art cannot be cultivated unless it contains Qi beyond the seventh level. For combat purposes, the consumption of spiritual energy is great and the linear speed is extremely fast, which is equal to the movement speed of a Spiritual Movement Stage Level 7. It can be divided into three levels."


    After Yang Li read through the three cultivation techniques once more, compared to the Floating Light Flash, the other two were extremely limited. Judging from the introduction, the Floating Light Flash naturally suited him more.


    After imprinting the token with great familiarity, Yang Li left the Scripture Pavilion. After bidding farewell to the elder, he headed straight for the cultivation tower.


    The training pagoda was a landmark of the outer sect. It was completely red in color, several tens of meters tall, and it took up a huge amount of space. It was also an extremely bustling place in the outer sect.


    The density of spiritual energy in the training pagoda was 1.5 times that of the spiritual energy outside the pagoda. It was similar to the Flowing Wind Secret Realm of the inner sect.


    At the same time, there were many closed-door chambers in the tower. Even if all the disciples from the sect were to enter, it would be difficult to fill them up.


    Because the cultivation towers also required the operation of spirit energy, so each spirit stone could only be used for three days.


    Cultivators who cultivated the land of magical wealth would have the first place in cultivation techniques and the second place in wealth. Having more wealth also meant that they would be able to obtain better cultivation resources.


    Therefore, there were disciples from wealthy families in the sect who stayed in the training tower all year round to cultivate. Those who improved their cultivation level naturally far exceeded that of ordinary disciples.


    When Yang Li arrived at the training tower, he did not hesitate and directly found an empty training room to enter.


    There was a formation array in the center of the cultivation room. There was a praying mat at the center of the formation, and beside the prayer mat was a place to place the spirit stones.


    And around the training room were cultivation stones for the disciples to train their martial arts.


    After Yang Li entered the cultivation room to observe for a while, he threw a spirit stone directly at the place where the spirit stones were placed. After activating the formation, he could feel that the spirit energy had indeed become a lot denser.


    Although it was inferior to the Ancient Era''s Secret Grounds, it was still much stronger than the outside world. It was, after all, a source of comfort.


    Yang Li took out the movement technique he had just obtained, Flowing Light Shadow, and began to cultivate. Compared to before, Yellow Rank cultivation methods had a longer duration of preservation. It would not disappear for thirty-two hours.


    If he did not memorize all the martial arts within the next thirty-two hours, the cultivation technique would disappear. If he wanted to know more, he would have to spend spirit stones to buy it.


    [Floating Light Flash]: Peak of the Yellow Rank, martial art. Can not be cultivated unless one is at least at the seventh level of Qi Accumulation. It is suitable for fighting and hurrying; it uses the force of the cyclone to move the spiritual energy under one''s feet to move quickly or evade.


    In battle, the main focus was on the strength of the whirlpool. Circulating the spiritual energy under his feet, he would teleport in a small area. The speed of teleportation depended on the degree of condensation of the spiritual energy, which consumed more spiritual energy.


    When hurrying on the road, he would use the strength of the air whirl as the main factor, circulating his spiritual energy under his feet, and moving forward in a straight line as the main factor. The length of time his spiritual energy could last was determined by how much he used it.


    The first realm, Floating Light. Initiating the movement technique. Moving quickly in a small area. When travelling, one could reach the speed of an early Spiritual Movement Stage.


    The second stage, Shadowstrike. At this stage of cultivation, small scale battles could form afterimages that could confuse the opponent, allowing one to quickly rush to the opponent''s side to attack. When travelling, one could reach the normal speed of a Mid Spiritual Movement Stage.


    At the third realm, the Illusionary Flash could achieve the effect of teleporting in a small area. When travelling at full speed, one could reach the normal speed of an early stage Spirit Realm warrior, but only for a short time.


    The cultivation of movement techniques was different from martial arts. The cultivation of movement techniques was divided into different realms, and the depth of one''s realm depended on the cultivator''s comprehension and proficiency.


    After Yang Li read through the entire cultivation method, he began to practice hard. Although cultivation methods required one to be at least at the seventh level of Qi Accumulation, that was only because they were above the seventh level that they were able to have a Qi Vortex.


    For Yang Li, who had a Qi tornado at the third level, cultivating this martial art was naturally not a problem.


    The power of the vortex in a cultivation technique was actually referring to the Spiritual Energy. The Spiritual Energy that had gone through the circulation of the vortex would condense even more than the ordinary Spiritual Energy. This way, the cultivation technique would be able to be activated.


    "My spiritual energy is much more condensed than other people of the same level, and I also have a cyclone that no one else of the same level has. That''s why I was able to instantly kill 10,000 units of spiritual energy. This cultivation technique shouldn''t be a problem." Yang Li muttered.


    The nature of spiritual energy was different, so the power it displayed was naturally different as well.


    As for high level cultivators, their spiritual energy would liquefy or even solidify. That kind of spiritual energy would be even stronger.


    Yang Li tried several times, but still wasn''t able to successfully circulate this movement technique.


    "What''s wrong?" Yang Li thought as he tried.


    After he ran out of spiritual power, he sat down cross-legged and started to cultivate, recovering his spiritual power.


    In the blink of an eye, a day had passed. Yang Li''s practice was nearing its end.


    Within the small training room, a figure could be vaguely seen moving back and forth, but the "bang bang" sound could always be heard.


    Finally, the figure stopped and saw Yang Li standing there with a swollen face.


    "This skill is really hard to control. I have bumped into many walls in one day." As Yang Li spoke angrily, he also had a bit of happiness in his heart. He was also someone with a movement technique!


    But what Yang Li did not know was that he had already broken the sect''s records without a sound. In the sect records, the fastest person to successfully cultivate it took three days before they succeeded.


    Moreover, because he was in the training room, no one was able to pry and this news was quietly hidden just like that.


    Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Yang Li could finally barely control the movements of light and shadows.


    When the array formation in the cultivation room completely stopped, Yang Li also stopped.


    "It''s time to go out. Go to the Scripture Pavilion and see if there are any defensive martial arts and unarmed martial arts." Yang Li thought to himself.


    He then turned around and left the Cultivation Tower. Just as he stepped out of it, he saw two disciples walking over from afar with their arms around each other''s shoulders.


    It just so happened that on that day, when he had entered the mountain, he had undiscriminatingly blocked his path and humiliated his two disciples that were guarding the mountain.


    "Enemies have a narrow path." Yang Li suddenly smiled. Originally, he had planned to look for these two in a few days, but he didn''t expect to meet them now.


    When the two of them saw Yang Li, a hint of disdain appeared on their lips. One of them even spoke in a teasing tone, "Yo, isn''t this the service disciple that boasted to make us kneel down and admit our mistakes?"


    "What are you talking about?" I''m clearly an outer court disciple, okay? " The other disciple looked at that person with a serious expression, but his tone was filled with an undisguised smile.


    "That''s right, that''s right. Ling Feng, you are right. He is an outer sect disciple now, but he said he wants us to kneel down and admit our mistakes." The disciple named Le Ke looked at Yang Li with a mocking smile.


    "I''m so scared. If you don''t like it, why don''t we kneel down and admit our wrongs?" Just as Ling Feng finished his sentence, he could not help but laugh out loud.


    Yang Li calmly looked at the two and coldly said: "Are you done laughing?"


    "Oh? Junior brother, you are very arrogant?" When Ling Feng heard Yang Li''s tone, he felt extremely displeased and said.


    Le Ke also looked at Yang Li with an unfriendly gaze.


    "After you''re done laughing, get ready to kneel down and admit your wrongs." Yang Li did not mind and directly spoke.


    Hearing Yang Li say this, the two of them immediately turned cold.


    "Yang Li, right? Junior brother, you must be careful when you speak. Although your cultivation is low and we cannot challenge you, you must still leave the sect. " Le Ke coldly said.


    "Yes, this world is not a peaceful place. You must be careful when you go out in the future. If you are not careful, you will die in the hands of a criminal or a bandit." Ling Feng said in a threatening tone.


    "I don''t need you to remind me if I''m going to go out or not. Get ready to kneel down and apologize." Yang Li indifferently said.


    "Yang Li! Are you provoking us? " Ling Feng was getting angry.


    "Provoke you? I''m sorry, I''m not interested. I just wanted the two trash to kneel down and apologize. " Hearing Ling Feng''s words, Yang Li had a face full of disdain.


    Although he didn''t know what cultivation they had, he could tell from the grey external characters on their chests that they didn''t have much ability.


    "Yang Li, it''s too late for you to regret this. Don''t think that you can be arrogant with us just because you defeated Wan Hao!" No matter what, I did eat two years more than you, and have cultivated for two more years! " Le Ke said with a cold expression.


    "Oh, looks like you don''t plan on kneeling down and admitting your wrongs." Yang Li stretched lazily and shook his head.


    "If that''s the case, then I''ll beat you until you kneel down and admit your wrongs! I challenge you all! " Yang Li''s eyes turned ice-cold.

 C20

    The two of them were originally extremely angry because Yang Li did not know what was good for them. However, when they heard Yang Li''s words, they became so angry that they started laughing instead.


    "Since you''re courting death, we''ll grant your wish and teach you how to respect your brothers!" Ling Feng said with a sneer.


    "Senior brothers will be more gentle, they won''t beat you up too badly, at most just lie in bed for a few months." Le Ke sneered.


    "Just tell me who''s first." Yang Li said impatiently.


    He really could not understand why these two people would talk so much nonsense.


    "Le Ke, let me go first. I can''t wait to have a chat with this little junior at the middle level of the fifth level of Qi Accumulation. It''s time to exchange some martial arts." Ling Feng said to Le Ke.


    "Fine, then you go first. I''m not in a rush, but don''t kill him. You''ll be fine as long as you seriously injure him." Yang Li didn''t take his words and actions seriously at all.


    However, Yang Li disdainfully said, "Cut the crap, see you at the arena."


    After he finished speaking, Yang Li immediately turned around and walked onto the arena stage. He had never been someone who was willing to compromise!


    Yang Li could be considered an outer court disciple with quite a bit of fame. The matter of Yang Li challenging others was also seen by the surrounding disciples of the Cultivation Tower.


    Although Yang Li did not know the level of those two, the other disciples did. Ling Feng and Le Yue were both at the seventh level and late stage of the seventh level.


    The disciples that knew Yang Li and the other two spread this explosive news.


    The outer sect disciple Yang Li who was at the fifth level of Qi Accumulation wanted to challenge the late stage seventh level Ling Feng and Le Ke. After the news was spread out, the outer sect disciples immediately flocked to the arena.


    The closer one''s cultivation was to the third floor, the rarer it was for outer court disciples to challenge others. Yang Li''s fame once again soared, and this time, there was no one who didn''t know about him.


    "Yang Li is truly courting death. He''s only at the middle of the fifth floor and yet he dared to challenge a late seventh floor senior brother. I must go and take a look at this bastard''s crippled state!" As the news spread more and more, Wan Hao also heard the news and grit his teeth as he spoke.


    Senior Apprentice Brother Wan Hao, don''t get too excited. Your injury hasn''t healed yet, so why don''t you let us take a look? If Yang Li is crippled, then he might be sent here. Mo Luo said with a fawning expression.


    "The injuries on my body were all inflicted by Bai Yang Li! I''m not willing to go! " "Roar!" I have already made up my mind. I will definitely go, so you all don''t have to persuade me anymore! "


    Mo Luo and the rest had no choice but to follow Wan Hao towards the arena.


    At this time, the outer sect disciples were also passionately discussing amongst themselves. However, it wasn''t like the first time they weren''t optimistic about it; rather, they were guessing what was going on.


    "What do you think of the result of this challenge?" A sharp-tongued disciple asked the person beside him.


    "Who knows? Last time, I thought he couldn''t beat Wan Hao, but in the end, he used one move to beat Wan Hao second. He ruthlessly slapped everyone''s faces. This time, we''ll just watch and watch. Otherwise, he might be slapped in the face again." A disciple said with a look of admiration.


    "Ling Feng and the rest have cultivations higher than Yang Li by nearly three levels. If we can''t defeat Yang Li, how will we be able to establish our foothold in the sect in the future?" I guess Yang Li can''t beat them. "


    Although the other disciple was not sure, he still felt that the two of them had a higher chance of victory.


    "Right, right, right. Ling Feng and the rest will definitely fight for their lives if they can''t beat him. If not, they will lose too much face." Another disciple interrupted.


    However, they had no way of knowing the final result. Seeing Yang Li and the other two enter the martial stage one after the other, the nearby disciples immediately stopped talking as they approached the martial stage.


    After Yang Li walked onto the stage, he saw Li Luo again. He greeted with a smile, "Senior brother Li Luo, it''s you again."


    "That''s right. Every time I find out that I''m on duty in the arena, you will always stir up some trouble. Should I be glad or depressed?" Li Luo said helplessly.


    "But are you sure this time? They are comparable to you with nearly three levels of cultivation. " Li Luo asked worriedly.


    After all, they had met three times and had interacted quite a bit, so Li Luo rather liked Yang Li.


    "Just half a liter, you just watch, Senior Brother Li Luo."


    After the conversation was over, Li Luo saw Ling Feng stepping onto the stage, and asked as usual: "Middle stage of the fifth level of Qi Accumulation, outer disciple Yang Li, challenging late stage of Qi Accumulation Level 7 outer disciple Ling Feng, do you accept this, Ling Feng?"


    "I''ll take it, but you should ask him if he''s sure." Ling Feng looked at Yang Li with a mocking expression.


    "Yang Li, are you sure you want to challenge Ling Feng, who is at the late stage of the seventh floor?" Li Luo asked.


    "I''m sure." Yang Li said with an indifferent expression.


    "Alright, please hand over your identity tokens."


    "Begin the challenge!" Li Luo shouted as he landed on the side of the stage.


    "Junior brother Yang Li, this time you really won''t have a chance. Haha, the first move of the mystical fire sabre technique is Drawing the Saber Breaking River!"


    Even though Ling Feng was taunting Yang Li, he was extremely serious when he did it. He only saw a bright flash of a blade descending from the sky, and in the instant it landed, it ignited into a raging flame that struck towards Yang Li.


    Yang Li''s mind trembled, and he immediately took out his spear. A Crimson Dragon shot out into the sky, using an attack to break apart the attack!


    The fire dragons and the saber lights in the sky continued to wear down each other. Soon, the smoke dissipated, and the entire arena went into an uproar.


    "Holy shit, Yang Li actually managed to block Ling Feng''s attack. The two of them are separated by several levels of cultivation!"


    "Looks like this challenge is really quite mysterious."


    On the other side, when Li Luo saw this scene, his eyes lit up. He carefully sized up Yang Li, a few more looks appearing in his eyes.


    "You can actually block my attack?" Ling Feng was also somewhat surprised, but soon after, his face turned cold.


    "That appetizer just now, you only have to continue with the next course of action. Come and try this move again."


    "Second move of the Mysterious Flame Saber Technique: invincible!" Ling Feng held his sabre horizontally, and an extremely strong aura burst forth from his sabre. Ling Feng hacked out with his saber, and his spirit energy directly covered more than half of the arena, heading towards Yang Li.


    Yang Li frowned and similarly raised his spear horizontally. Divine Flame Mi Tian swept out in an instant, completely blocking the spear.


    This time, the collision between the two sides was a bit weaker than before.


    "Take my attack as well. Fire God Spear Technique, Second Move: Flame Void!" Dense fire spirit energy gushed out from the spear, and the phoenix on the spear became even more real, as if it was about to spread its wings and fly away.


    Yang Li thrust his spear forward and the fire spirit energy instantly interweaved with each other as it flew towards Ling Feng. After the last of the weak power of his spirit technique was dispelled, the remaining force rushed at Ling Chen.


    "He could barely withstand the second move? Then wait for your death! The third movement of the Mysterious Flame Saber Technique: Mysterious Flame Breaking Through the Sky! " Ling Feng smirked and directly used the third move. The originally fiery red flame gradually turned into a deep black, containing a frightening aura. Yang Li''s spirit technique was about to attack.


    Ling Feng waved his hand and threw out the magic that he had prepared. The black flames brought with them a gloomy feeling, instantly extinguishing Yang Li''s attack and charging towards him.


    Yang Li''s face turned serious as he casted the Floating Light Flash to the left. At the same time, he threw the Crimson Dragon Soaring Through the Heavens towards Ling Feng.


    However, Yang Li''s attack only slightly dimmed the black flames, not causing the slightest bit of pressure to Ling Feng.


    Ling Feng slightly smiled. "Junior Brother, today, I will tell you what is called beating a drowning dog!" After he finished speaking, he cast multiple spells at Yang Li.


    Yang Li only kept on dodging, and casually used a spear technique to block Ling Feng''s attack.


    Right at this moment, Ling Feng''s attack stopped. He mocked Yang Li, "With your little ability, I''m afraid you don''t have the ability to make me kneel down and apologize."


    Hearing his words, Yang Li suddenly laughed strangely: "Really? Then, why don''t you try this move of mine! Fire God Spear Art Fourth Move, Fire Shattering the Sky! "


    A streak of black flames similar to the Flowing Wind Spirit Art spread out from Yang Li''s spear, and a suppressed aura spread throughout the entire arena.


    "Congratulations, you have become the first person to try the fourth move of my Flame God Spear Art!" Yang Li laughed.


    Following that, he released his magic, and black flames rushed towards Lingfeng at an extremely fast speed.


    The moment Ling Feng felt this spiritual technique, he hurriedly set up a barrier. Then, he moved to the side and released two defensive techniques.


    However, Ling Feng''s arrangements were of no use. Black flames engulfed the entire stage, leaving behind only a thin layer of his defensive spirit art.


    Yang Li evilly laughed, "Explode!"


    The stage surrounding Ling Feng exploded, becoming the last straw that broke the camel''s back, destroying Ling Feng''s defensive spirit art.


    Just as Ling Feng was about to set up another defensive spirit art to protect himself, he heard a voice beside his ear: "Senior Brother Ling Feng, this is what you call beating a drowning dog with!"


    So it was Yang Li. After the sound of the explosion, he used his movement technique and charged straight to Ling Feng''s side. Finishing his sentence, he directly used the Crimson Dragon Soaring Through the Heavens and struck towards Ling Feng.


    It was unknown whether it was because of the black flames on the stage or not, but the people below the stage saw that the red spirit art was mixed with strands of black, and had blown Lingfeng to the edge of the stage.


    Ling Feng, defeated!


    The disciples below the stage suddenly began to boil with excitement.


    Ling Feng lost! Middle stage of the fifth level, he had won against a late stage of the seventh level! Brilliant! It''s really exciting! "


    "Evil God Yang Li!"


    "Yang Li has won!" What was the name of his final move? Fire Breaks the Heavens? It''s too powerful! "


    "I want to go back and cultivate, I want to work hard to cultivate!" A disciple at the fifth level of Qi Accumulation is so powerful. If I don''t hurry up and cultivate, I might be defeated in the future. " So he was a disciple at the eighth level of Qi Accumulation.


    "Haha, let''s see who dares to look down on our weaker disciples in the future. The closer they are, the more they can defeat the enemy on the third floor." A disciple at the fourth level of Qi Accumulation said excitedly.


    However, Yang Li ignored the boiling atmosphere below and walked towards Ling Feng, who was at the edge of the stage. He said softly: "Senior brother Ling Feng, you should kneel down and apologize!"


    Ling Feng coughed a mouthful of blood, and looked fixedly at Yang Li: "Kneeling is impossible! "You can either stand there and apologize, or you can kill me!"


    At this time, Li Luo came over, nodded at Yang Li, and announced the result.


    "This match''s challenge is at the middle of the fifth layer. Yang Li has obtained victory!"


    With that, Li Luo turned to look at Yang Li and said, "Yang Li, how about this, make him kneel down and apologize to you? Why not let him compensate you with something and apologize to you?"


    Yang Li thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "That''s fine, then apologize to me, and compensate me with twenty spirit stones! That should be enough for me to train for two months. "


    When Ling Feng heard this condition, his eyes darkened, but he had no way of refuting it.


    "Junior brother Yang Li, I''m sorry, I was wrong. I will send you spirit stones in the future. Goodbye." Ling Feng was quite magnanimous, so he directly left the stage and was led back.

 C21

    The next person to go on stage should have been Le Ke. When Yang Li''s gaze turned towards Le Ke and prepared to challenge him.


    Le Ke said in a very straightforward manner, "Junior Brother Yang Li, I apologize. I''m sorry, I was impulsive that day. I will send thirty spirit stones to your residence later. "


    Even though he and Ling Feng were both at the late stage of the seventh floor, his strength was not as good as Ling Feng''s. If Ling Feng had already lost so badly, then there was no need to even mention him.


    Rather than going on stage and receiving a beating before admitting that he had made a mistake, it would be better to just be a bit more single and save money on medical expenses. Seeing Ling Feng''s injuries, it was unknown how many more spirit stones he would have to spend.


    That was why he said that Le Ke was actually a smart person. However, if he gave in without a fight, word would spread throughout the sect soon.


    Just like that, the fight that was the talk of the town came to an end. Yang Li had become the biggest winner.


    Not only was he infuriated, he had also earned quite a few spirit stones. At the same time, his name had also spread throughout the outer sect. Many Blood Tempering disciples were extremely interested in him.


    Of course, there were people who wanted to suppress him, and there were also people who wanted to become friends with him. Thus, they would naturally look down on him.


    Yang Li naturally didn''t know of this. After he left the arena, he immediately rushed back to his residence. First, he was waiting for the spirit stones. Second, it was because of his sudden outburst just now.


    "Feng''er! Feng''er!" When he returned to his residence, Yang Li immediately took out his sleeper spear.


    "Yes, master!" Feng''er happily replied. Just now, she had helped Yang Li to the point that she was extremely happy.


    "Feng Er, how come you know the fourth and fifth forms of the Flame God Spear Art?" Yang Li suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried his best to calm himself down.


    "I knew it from the very beginning, master. I''ve always had this spear art in my memories." Feng Er answered with a blank expression.


    "Do you remember anything else?" Yang Li was unable to suppress the excitement in his heart.


    "I''m sorry, Master. I can''t remember anything else because I''m too weak right now. There are still many memories that haven''t been awakened." As Feng''er heard Yang Li''s excited question, she felt wronged. She was very unhappy that she hadn''t been able to help Yang Li.


    "It doesn''t matter. Feng''er, don''t be sad. I''ll find you more demon cores and ores. Wait until you recover, then we''ll think about it slowly. There''s no rush." Although Yang Li was somewhat disappointed to hear this answer, he still consoled Feng''er.


    "Alright, then I''ll sleep a bit more, Master." Feng Er said happily.


    "Mm. Feng''er, you should go to sleep first." Yang Li thought as he spoke.


    "Forget it. Although there are only two moves left, I know the way to complement the Flame God Spear Art."


    So the reason why Yang Li had suddenly used these two moves in the ring was because of Feng''er.


    When he was forced into such a predicament, Feng''er suddenly woke up. Seeing Yang Li being forced to this state, Feng''er was also very angry. She directly passed these two moves onto Yang Li and attached herself to the spear, intensifying Yang Li''s attack.


    Fire God Spear Art Fourth Move: Flame Shattering the Heavens, creates a large area of flame to attack the opponent. If this is combined with the Flame God Incantation, it can cause even greater damage.


    Flame God Spear Art Fifth Move: Nirvana Flames. Attack the opponent individually. Gather your own spirit energy to form a line of fire and sublimate it to allow it to possess even greater power. Attack the opponent at extreme speed.


    He had never practiced these two techniques before, but after Feng''er passed on her memories to him, he was able to use them in perfect harmony. Later on, the Godly Dragon Soaring Cloud also used the fifth technique and Feng''er, which greatly increased his strength.


    "Junior brother Yang Li, I am Ying Ke, here to compensate you with spirit stones."


    Yang Li was in the middle of studying the Flame God Spear Art when he suddenly heard Le Ke''s voice. He was stunned for a moment before saying indifferently, "You may enter, Senior Brother Le Ke."


    "Alright, then I''ll accept it." When Le Ke heard Yang Li''s voice, she pushed open the door and entered.


    After handing the Spirit Stones to Yang Li, Le Ke gave an awkward smile: "Junior Yang Li, there are fifty Spirit Stones here. Junior Yang Li, there are fifty Spirit Stones here, it belongs to Ling Feng and I.


    "Put it down, Senior Brother, please go back."


    After Yang Li finished speaking, he closed his eyes.


    Seeing Yang Li like this, Le Ke was also speechless.


    He had long since regretted offending such an inconspicuous junior brother.


    At the same time, he couldn''t help but rejoice in his heart. It was fortunate that Lord Yang Li didn''t remember him as a lowly person. Otherwise, with his talent, his future would be extremely difficult.


    Le Ke shook his head and left with a coy smile.


    On the other side, Wan Hao, Mo Luo, and the others also left the stage.


    Mo Luo''s face was as white as snow, his heart was filled with panic, and he asked, "Wan ¡­ Senior-apprentice Brother Wan Hao, what do we do? "


    Wan Hao was currently feeling agitated, but hearing Mo Luo''s trembling voice, he became even angrier.


    "What should we do? How would I know what to do! "


    Hearing Wan Hao''s angry voice, Mo Luo didn''t dare to speak anymore.


    At this time, another disciple spoke up.


    "Senior-apprentice Brother Wan Hao, if we fight Yang Li again, we won''t be able to defeat him. I''d like to suggest that Senior-apprentice Brother Yang Li be handed over to senior-brother Wan Sheng."


    When Wan Hao heard this, he couldn''t help but feel even more agitated. He opened his mouth and said: "Okay, you guys go out. I''ll think about it myself. Don''t bother me."


    When the few of them heard this, they did not dare to make a sound and silently retreated.


    Wan Hao hesitated in the room for a long time before finally making up his mind, "Sigh, I think I''ll just have to go find him. I really can''t beat him."


    Thinking of this, Wan Hao pushed the door open and walked towards the inner door.


    Before long, Wan Chao arrived at a quiet bamboo house. A black-clothed youth around 19 years old was sitting at the entrance, fishing in the pond.


    Hearing Wan Hao''s footsteps, he didn''t turn his head and only said one sentence: "Lower your voice. Don''t scare my fish. Say it, what happened?"


    Wan Hao heard the black-clothed youth''s voice and felt extremely embarrassed. In the end, he could only speak in a small voice, "Big Brother, when I was a service disciple, I offended someone called Yang Li. His cultivation was originally lower than mine, but a month has passed and he doesn''t know why his cultivation is the same as mine."


    "Moreover, I ¡­ "I can''t beat him, he''s only at the middle of the fifth level of the Qi Accumulation Stage. On the contrary, he''s defeated someone at the late seventh level of the Qi Accumulation Stage."


    "Trash, even after giving you so many pills and treasures, you still can''t beat someone on the same level as you. I really doubt if you''re from my Wan Family!" As the black-clothed youth heard his words, he was immediately enraged. As Wan Hao heard him curse at him, he felt extremely embarrassed.


    "Forget it, you useless bastard. That Yang Li, I''ll find someone to help you clean up. But you, from today on, return and seriously cultivate. I''ll help you keep an eye out for medicinal pellets and the like."


    "If you can''t enter the inner court within two years, then never speak to me again, and never tell anyone else that you''re my younger brother!" "Scram!"


    "Got it, bro, then I''ll be going." Wan Hao shamefully turned around and left.


    After Wan Hao left, Wan Sheng, who had been fishing by the side of the pond, had an extremely cold look in his eyes.


    "The people of my Wan family, how can anyone touch them! A trash at the fifth level of the Qi Accumulation Realm is not worth it for me to personally deal with! "


    Thinking of this, Wan Sheng took out his identity token and found one of the sound transmission imprints.


    "Meng Zhong, outer disciple Yang Li, no matter what you do, get rid of him!" A cold voice was transmitted through the sound transmission imprint into Meng Zhong''s ears.


    Meng Zhong was currently sleeping. After hearing Wan Sheng''s voice transmission, his entire body shook. He immediately became clear-headed and nodded his head in agreement.


    After the voice transmission ended, Wan Sheng continued fishing as if nothing had happened.


    Because of Wan Sheng''s words, Meng Zhong began to closely investigate Yang Li''s information. As an outer sect disciple with a golden word embroidered on his name, obtaining this information was a bit too simple for him.


    After Le Ke left, Yang Li stopped studying his cultivation technique and instead entered the cultivation tower to cultivate. He stayed there for half a month.


    On this day, after Yang Li swallowed the last Yang Fire Pill, the spirit energy within his body exploded forth, directly breaking through the late fifth layer barrier.


    After a long time, after Yang Li stabilized his cultivation, his aura became even stronger. From what he could sense, it was almost time to enter the Ancient Secret Grounds again.


    Yang Li decided to stay away from the sect. After all, there were too many high level people in the sect, and he didn''t know if anyone would covet them.


    Thus, Yang Li left the cultivation tower, preparing to leave the sect.


    When Yang Li passed by the External Affairs Hall, he suddenly remembered that outer sect disciples were required to complete a primary mission every year. Coincidentally, he had to leave the sect by himself, so he took the opportunity to complete the mission together with the outer sect disciples.


    Thinking of this, Yang Li turned and walked into the External Affairs Hall. He immediately looked for the deacon, requesting to view the rank C mission.


    "The third level missions are all here. Find if there''s anything suitable for you." After the deacon passed the mission form to Yang Li, he casually said this and stood to the side, waiting for Yang Li to choose.


    "Level C missions can be repeated. Enter the Dense Fog Forest to search for Fog Concealed Grass. Each stalk can be exchanged for 50 spirit stone slags. If you can find 10 or more, you can purchase them using 80 spirit stone slags. Failure will not result in punishment."


    "First level mission, one mission, enter the Misty Forest, look for the Earth Dragon Bears, obtain the complete Bear Palm and one complete heart, the reward is two spirit stones, the task''s issuer, outer disciple, Wang Jian."


    Yang Li looked at the missions one by one. There were missions issued by sects, and there were also missions issued by individuals. There were all sorts of strange missions. In the end, Yang Li chose four missions.


    They were to search for the Fog Concealed Grass, the Fire Mist Flower, to kill the Fire Snake for its Demonic Core, and to kill the Earth Dragon Bears.


    Yang Li didn''t care about the rewards. What he cared about was entering the Misty Cloud Forest.


    After choosing his mission, Yang Li left the External Affairs Hall and walked out of the sect gates.


    However, he did not notice that after seeing him leave, there was a scoundrelly looking disciple who confirmed the picture scroll in his hand, then entered the External Affairs Hall''s Mission Office and rushed towards the north.


    "Senior brother Meng Zhong, Yang Li has already left. He has asked around and accepted a mission at the External Affairs Hall. He has gone to the Dense Fog Forest." The scoundrel eyed disciple reported.


    "How many?" Meng Zhong asked indifferently.


    "It''s just one person. Senior Brother, how should we handle this?"


    "Jing Mu, go find Yue Long and have him kill Yang Li. Tell him that it was arranged by Wan Sheng." These words about killing people came out of Meng Zhong''s mouth, but it was as dull as a mundane meal. He didn''t seem to have any other emotions.


    "Yes, senior brother." With that, Jing Mu sped away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

 C22

    After Yang Li left the sect, he immediately used his movement technique. Although his speed was extremely fast, the consumption of spirit energy was also extremely large.


    In just two hours, Yang Li had almost used up all of his spiritual energy. However, he still had some distance to travel to the Dense Fog Forest.


    Yang Li stopped his movement and walked slowly, recovering his spirit energy while thinking about the mission.


    Actually, he had already completed the task of the Billowing Fire Serpent. That was because he already had the Demon Core of the Billowing Fire Serpent, and it was a Demon Core of the late second level.


    If it was a land dragon bear, he needed to search for it. As for the Fire Mist Flower and the Fog Concealing Grass, that could only depend on luck.


    There were three days left before he could enter the beast skin. He decided to enter the beast skin first and think about it after he broke through.


    As he thought of this, Yang Li made his decision. The Misty Cloud Forest was also not far away.


    Seeing the entrance to the Dense Fog Forest, Yang Li couldn''t help but recall how Mo Luo and the rest had attacked him.


    He had paid attention to a few people after he had returned to the sect, but they had never left the sect, so his thought of killing them had failed.


    After all, killing Mo Luo and the rest in the sect, coupled with the fact of Wan Hao being there, he definitely wouldn''t be able to survive.


    Shaking his head, Yang Li did not think anymore about it and directly entered the forest.


    His plan was to go to the same cave as before. He always felt that there was something hidden in that cave, but he didn''t know what it was.


    And in that place, the recovery speed of spiritual energy was much faster than outside the cave.


    Yang Li followed his memory and walked in the direction of the cave. Not long after, he saw the cave.


    Just like when he left, the entrance of the cave was still covered by gravel. Weeds had already grown on both sides of the cave, and if he did not take care of this, this place would definitely become one with the mountain in a few months, making it difficult to find.


    Yang Li blasted a path into the cave. Two golden fruit trees were still as green as ever, and the newborn fruit had a green aura.


    As for the other things, they remained the same. After thinking for a while, Yang Li walked towards the praying mat in the middle and used his spiritual energy to clear the dust. He sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.


    Training passed without a trace of time. In the blink of an eye, three days passed.


    One day, Yang Li was cultivating when he suddenly felt that the beast skin was ready to be used. He stopped cultivating without hesitation and took out the beast skin. The feeling in his mind told him that he needed to use spirit energy to enter.


    Yang Li slowly infused his own Spiritual Qi into the bag. Even when he infused half of it into the bag, there was no reaction. He frowned as the amount of Spiritual Energy required was beyond his expectations.


    Just as Yang Li''s entire body was about to run out of spirit energy, the hide gave off a silver light and he disappeared from within the cave. However, at the top of the cave, a strange light flashed.


    Yang Li once again stepped into the Ancient Secret Grounds. A dense amount of Spiritual Energy covered it, and the Ancient Secret Grounds'' scenery still remained the same. Moreover, the location where he appeared was exactly the same as the last time.


    Yang Li didn''t think too much and sat down cross-legged to cultivate. Suddenly, he thought of the crouching Phoenix Spear. Perhaps the spirit energy here could help him cultivate it, so he took out the crouching Phoenix Spear and placed it across his knees.


    After that, he started his own cultivation because this place only had a short duration of two hours. If he didn''t hurry up and cultivate, it would be too much of a waste.


    At the same time, the Flame God Incantation started to circulate within his body. Its speed was countless times faster than when he was in the outside world. A dense amount of Spiritual Energy rushed toward his body.


    Just like last time, there was a voice that was muttering in his mind. The circulation path of the Flame God Incantation had slightly changed, but Yang Li''s realm continued to rise.


    Early stage of the sixth level of Qi Accumulation!


    Middle stage of the sixth level of Qi Accumulation!


    "..."


    Late stage of the seventh level of Qi Accumulation!


    In just two hours, Yang Li''s Spiritual Energy had broken through two levels and reached the late stage of the seventh level of Qi Accumulation. The whirlpool within his body had also become extremely large, to the point where strands of Spiritual Energy entered his blood.


    A repulsive force pressed down on him like usual. Yang Li knew that it was time for him to leave again. He opened his eyes and put away the crouching Phoenix Spear, taking one last glance at the world.


    The ten rounds of the great sun was eternally burning the entire earth, and even the distant forests were still alive with the roars of birds and beasts.


    Suddenly, Yang Li''s eyes widened as he saw a figure on a distant mountaintop!


    That figure was clearly a person!


    Yang Li had always been curious about this mysterious space, but this time he actually saw a person. How could he not be shocked?


    Just as he was about to rush towards the mountain top, a powerful force pushed him out of the space. Immediately, Yang Li returned to the cave.


    Yang Li was also extremely confused, and muttered: "Why would there be people? Had he been discovered? Or perhaps there is something hidden in that place that I do not know about? "


    It had to be said that Yang Li''s discovery had greatly surprised him. He was certain that he hadn''t made a mistake. That was definitely a person!


    After pondering for a while, Yang Li could only calm down and mutter, "Forget it. Next time, when I go to the secret location, I''ll search around and see if I can find that person."


    After that, Yang Li sat down and adjusted his Qi to stabilize his cultivation.


    After all, only after adapting to his cultivation base would he be able to unleash a stronger battle prowess.


    On the other side, within the secret realm, a person was also curious.


    "Strange, am I seeing things? Why did a person appear on the Sacred Mountain? " Qi Feng rubbed his eyes and looked to the top of the mountain again, but still couldn''t find anything.


    He clearly saw someone appear on top of the Holy Mountain just now. It must be known that the Holy Peak could be under the watch of an elder, so ordinary people were absolutely unable to go up.


    "Perhaps there''s something wrong with my eyes. I should go retrieve the divine spring water first. The Grand Elder is still waiting for it to save him." Qi Feng turned around and continued to walk up the mountainside.


    "..."


    The reason Qi Feng didn''t see Yang Li was naturally because he had already returned to the cave.


    In less than an hour, Yang Li''s cultivation had completely stabilized. He could feel that the Flame God Incantation had undergone some changes.


    Not only did the circulation path change, the circulation speed also increased. He could feel that the Flame God Incantation had become more complete.


    If the Flame God Incantation was originally a first-rate cultivation technique, then after a change, it would become a mid-grade yellow-rank cultivation technique. Then, the Flame God Incantation would become a dark class cultivation technique.


    Not only was it more powerful, the rate at which it absorbed spiritual energy in the world increased.


    Although Yang Li didn''t understand what was going on, he was more excited. The more the Flame God Incantation improved, the more help it would give him.


    "Master, master, I''m awake!" Feng Er''s voice suddenly resounded in his mind.


    "Hey, Feng''er, you''re awake!" Yang Li asked in surprise.


    "That''s right. Master, where did you go to just now? Feng''er feels very comfortable there. Her recovery speed is also faster!" Feng Er giggled.


    "That is an ancient land. Looks like it will be of some help to you. In that case, I''ll bring you along if I enter again in the future." Yang Li laughed and said casually.


    "Alright, Master, I have some good news for you. I have recovered a portion of my ability and can help you now!" "Hmm, if we use the levels that you humans speak of, it would be around the middle rank of a Dao soldier."


    "Middle grade Dao-Soldier?" "Then what was your original level?" Yang Li''s heart stirred. He had really forgotten to ask about Feng''er''s rank. He only faintly felt that it was an extremely high level.


    The only weapons Yang Li knew of were Common, Dao Weapons, Yellow Rank, Black Rank, Earth Rank, and Heaven Rank. This was also because the highest ranked weapons in the entire South Fire Region were only at the Heaven Rank.


    Weapons at every stage were divided into four grades, and they were the same as cultivation techniques: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. Treasures of the mid-grade Dao weapon were already extremely difficult to come by for those of the Blood Tempering stage.


    "So what level is it?" Hearing Yang Li''s words, Feng''er began to have some doubts.


    "I forgot, too. Master, I can''t remember many things now. I''m sorry, Master." Feng Er said with a bit of grievance.


    "It''s fine. If you can''t remember it, then forget it. Just remember it." Yang Li didn''t criticize Feng''er.


    "Okay, hey, Master look, the stone above your head is glowing!" Feng Er said in surprise.


    "Hmm?" After Yang Li heard this, he looked up and discovered that the top of the cave was flashing with a faint light, constantly changing.


    Yang Li looked over with rapt attention and saw that the light at the top of the cave was gradually changing into words. Every second it changed to another word. Yang Li looked carefully and felt that this was a cultivation method, but he didn''t know what it was.


    After an unknown amount of time, the light at the top of the cave did not change, and it suddenly emitted a dazzling light.


    Yang Li''s head suddenly hurt, and his entire body fainted. Feng''er''s continuous calls didn''t even wake him up.


    "Young man, what''s your name?" An old man with a crane hairstyle was staring at him with a horsetail whisk in his hand. Powerful ripples were emitted from his body, and around his body was this extremely mysterious formation.


    "Hello, senior. Junior is Yang Li." Yang Li saw that although the old man had some doubts, he could feel that the old man had no ill intentions towards him, so he opened his mouth to speak.


    "Yang Li? "Mm. It''s a good name. Yang Li, what era is it now?" Daoist Tiangfang asked gently.


    "Senior Tianyuan, this is the 9th era, the 9996 year of the calendar." After Yang Li heard Daoist Tian Fang''s words, he was stunned for a moment.


    "Is it already this time? "It seems like that day is about to arrive." Daoist Tian Fang frowned as he heard Yang Li''s words. He muttered to himself as he thought.


    "Senior Tianyuan?" Yang Li looked at Daoist Tian Fang, who was deep in thought, and tried to sound him out.


    "Hmm?" Daoist Tian Fang regained his senses and looked at Yang Li. He chuckled, "Whatever, it''s all in the past now. Yang Li, I''m sure you still don''t know my name."


    "My name is Zhou Tiangfang, and I''m known as Daoist Tiangfang. I was born in the Realm of South Fire during the seventh era and was considered to be quite talented. I was born only two hundred years ago, and have roamed the continent."


    "The reason why I''m called Daoist Tian Fang is because I have a Divination Technique and a self-created spirit art. This is also the reason why I am able to roam the continent unhindered. And I, who created my own spirit art, can protect myself, so that no matter how many enemies there are, they will never be able to harm me. "


    Later on, on a whim, I tried to predict the future of the continent. I predicted for a whole year, but after finding out that the continent was going to encounter a great disaster thirty thousand years from now, I panicked and told my old friends about it.


    With the strength of the continent, how could I possibly not face it? However, in order to understand the future of the continent, I left a divine intent clone in this cave, hoping that the later generation would tell me about the situation of the continent.


    "Originally, my formation would automatically dissipate after 32,000 years and outsiders could enter this cave. However, for some reason, you triggered it in advance and now, you are able to enter. However, that doesn''t matter. Perhaps it is fated."


    "Meeting is fate. Although your cultivation is only at the seventh level of Qi, your talent and comprehension are excellent. However, the Dao of Divination cannot be taught to you by the Heavenly Dao. There is also a set of self-created martial arts that I can impart to you." Daoist Tiangfang asked.


    "Yes." Yang Li replied without a second thought. His martial arts were extremely lacking. Up until now, he only had the Flame God Spear Art and the Floating Light Flash.


    "I''ll pass on this magic to you," he said, "and you''ll have to swear an oath to the Dao of the Heavens to not kill innocent people for evil no matter what." Daoist Tian Fang said solemnly.


    Hearing these words, Yang Li''s heart shook, and he said extremely decisively: "Senior Tian Fang, I am not sure if I will kill innocents, and if no one offends me, I will not offend them, but if someone bullies me or my family, even if I have to chase them to the ends of the earth, I will still kill them all!"


    "This ¡­" When Daoist Tiangfang heard Yang Li''s words, he hesitated for a moment before finally sighing.


    Forget it. I''ve already been dead for more than 20,000 years, so I won''t force you. However, in the future, if you meet any descendants of the Zhou Clan who cultivate the same technique as you, just help them.


    "Senior, don''t worry. I, Yang Li, am not a person who does not know how to repay a debt of gratitude. If I meet senior''s descendant, I will definitely help with everything I have."


    When Daoist Tiangfang heard this, he smiled in relief. A ray of spiritual light abruptly shot out from his finger and floated into Yang Li''s mind. His figure also slowly disappeared.

    "In the circular space, a defensive martial art uses the outline of spirit energy to form a miniature defensive formation to block the enemy''s attacks. The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the defense."


    The Heaven-Revolving Tower was a defensive martial art that the old man had taught him. However, it was not used in combat, but in daily practice. He had used it to form a formation on the surface of his body in advance so that he could use it when training.


    After the formation was formed, it wouldn''t have stopped moving unless it was broken by a powerful force. At the same time, it also had the effect of isolating the surroundings.


    Yang Li was extremely excited as well. He did not have any defensive spiritual arcane skills, and this Heavenly Completion Stage had mended his flaws greatly. His strength had also increased.


    Spirit arts were naturally something that would be of great assistance to him only after he learned them. If he only had memories, it would be completely useless.


    Although he did not know the grade of the spiritual magic that Daoist Tiangfang had taught him, it was extremely difficult to cultivate, and it also had an extremely high requirement on spiritual power.


    Yang Li first attempted to outline a formation that could protect the entire body, but many times he failed. He used up all of his spiritual energy, but was unable to outline even half of it.


    However, just the spiritual technique to protect the upper half of his body took him three days to succeed. However, it was still extremely unstable.


    From what he could sense, a spiritual technique could only last for three days, and its defensive strength was not strong enough for him.


    According to the introduction of the Heaven''s Expanse Palace, if one were to completely cultivate it, not only would they be able to protect their entire body, but as long as it was not destroyed, they would be able to maintain it permanently.


    However, Yang Li was very satisfied. After all, this was a spirit art taught by Daoist Tian Fang. Since he was able to traverse the entire continent, his rank would definitely not be low. Thus, it was normal for his training to be difficult.


    "No wonder it''s a spiritual technique passed down from an old cultivator from tens of thousands of years ago. I spent three days to cultivate it to such an extent." After Yang Li successfully cultivated it, he sighed in his heart.


    However, what he did not know was that it was also because of his abnormal perception.


    In the past few days, every time he had cultivated in the Heaven''s Expanse Palace, he had used up all of his spiritual energy and recovered again and again. This had caused his spiritual energy to advance by a lot and he was only one step away from reaching the eighth level of the Qi Accumulation Stage.


    Yang Li sat down cross-legged and recuperated his spiritual energy. Not long after, he stood up and prepared to leave.


    "As expected of an expert. The formation he set up actually hasn''t changed at all for the past twenty thousand years. Even the two golden fruit trees have changed a bit." When Yang Li finally left, he sized up the cave again and could not help but sigh.


    "However, there''s no need to be envious. With my talent, there will be a day when I can reach this realm and look down on the entire continent." Yang Li smiled and left the cave.


    The interior of the cave didn''t feel the passage of time. When Yang Li came out, it just so happened to be in the morning.


    The morning and night in the Misty Cloud Forest were the most dangerous. The fog in the morning could block people''s perception and line of sight, making them unable to sense or observe their surroundings. They were extremely vulnerable to danger.


    At night, because of the rampage of demon beasts, they would be chased by a large number of demon beasts if they were not careful.


    Yang Li frowned and resisted the urge to return to the cave. Instead, he walked toward the inner part of the forest with large strides.


    "If I don''t even have the courage to face danger, then how will I climb to the peak of my life?" Yang Li thought as he walked.


    Suddenly, Emmie''s eyes appeared in front of him. Yang Li stopped in his tracks, his heart full of vigilance.


    That pair of green eyes were slowly walking towards him, and behind him, pairs of green eyes appeared. A depressing aura instantly permeated the forest, carrying with it a trace of the smell of blood.


    "Dark Wolf!" The owner of the first eye had completely appeared in front of Yang Li. Yang Li''s entire body shook with great shock.


    The nether wolf was blue in color and had green eyes. It looked no different from an ordinary wolf. However, what gave people a headache was that the nether wolf was one of the few social demonic beasts in the Dense Fog Forest. Every time it appeared, it would appear in groups! Hence, the green eyes in the surroundings were obviously other nether wolves.


    Yang Li instantly felt a headache coming on. There had to be a Wolf King amongst the nether wolves. Although the nether wolves before him were only at the late Second Rank, equivalent to a human at the sixth layer of Qi, they were unable to handle more wolves.


    "Aooo!" Just as Yang Li was thinking about how to break the situation, a mournful wolf howl entered his ears.


    Ming Lang, who was walking slowly towards Yang Li, immediately dashed towards him when he heard the sound.


    Yang Li couldn''t dodge in time, so he took out his crouching phoenix spear and struck at the waist of Dark Wolf. The body of Dark Wolf cried out as it fell to the side, its body twitching uncontrollably.


    However, with this slap, it pierced the hornet''s nest. When the nether wolves saw that their companions had been knocked down, they all became furious and continuously pounced towards Yang Li.


    Light flashed and shadows flashed. Yang Li wanted to rely on his speed to escape from this pack of nether wolves, but it was unknown when tens of nether wolves had already circled behind him and pounced on him.


    For a time, Yang Li fell into an extremely dangerous situation. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead.


    As for the fog in the forest, it was slowly dispersing. Yang Li noticed a large tree to his right from the corner of his eyes and was overjoyed. He rushed to the right and leaned against a large tree.


    "Flame Destroying Sky!" A large amount of flames surged out from Yang Li''s spear, burning the ground around Yang Li. The flames also spread onto the body of the Dark Wolf that was pouncing towards him.


    "Explode!" Many of the nether wolves'' bodies had exploded, but only a few had died. However, even more nether wolves had pounced towards him with vicious eyes.


    "Aooo!" Another mournful howl rang out, and the nether wolves that had been charging towards Yang Li slowly retreated, forming a semicircle and surrounding Yang Li.


    The wolves had just formed an encirclement when Yang Li''s left and right Dark Wolf pounced towards him.


    "Divine Flames Shrouding the Heavens!" Yang Li''s mind tightened as he sent out a Divine Flame Burst into the sky, blocking the nether wolf on the right. He then sent another Flame Void in all directions to attack the nether wolf on the right.


    "Aooo!" At the command of the Wolf King, the Dark Wolf that was at Yang Li''s front also rushed over.


    "Haha!" Come on! Isn''t it just a group of useless wolves? " Yang Li''s eyes emitted a brilliant light, his eyes filled with determination. Even if he were to face three enemies at once, he still wouldn''t be able to defeat Yang Li''s fighting spirit.


    "Nirvana Flames!" He used the fifth move of the Flame God Spear Art, which he had never used before, to attack the Dark Wolf in front of him.


    An extremely bright stream of flames quickly flew through the air, piercing through the group of Dark Wolves in front of them.


    "Explode!" No matter which direction they were in, the nether wolves that were infected by Yang Li''s spirit energy and flames wailed out and fell to the ground.


    Some of the nether wolves that were severely injured even died, but there were still many of them that pounced towards him.


    Yang Li''s upper body''s defensive array also flashed with light, blocking many of the nether wolves'' attacks.


    However, as he used one technique, Yang Li''s nether wolves were constantly killed, and his spiritual energy was gradually reaching its limit.


    "Qi Replenishing Pill!" Yang Li suddenly thought of something. He hastily took out a Qi Replenishing Pill from his spatial ring and swallowed it.


    Pills that could be used in the Spirit Integration realm would naturally be able to instantly replenish his Spiritual Qi.


    Feeling the Spiritual Energy in his body being replenished once again, Yang Li became much more excited. He once again charged fiercely with the essence of dragons and tigers towards the nether wolves.


    Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, six hours had passed. Yang Li had completely used up all of his Qi Replenishing Pills.


    The circular space had long since collapsed. Yang Li''s entire body was covered with wounds, and he was completely exhausted.


    Within a radius of tens of meters, there were hundreds of corpses of nether wolves. Their blood dyed the ground red, but there were still a lot of nether wolves around him. They bared their teeth as they pounced towards him.


    "I don''t believe that I will die here! He had only achieved what he had achieved in five years! I will definitely not die here! " Yang Li''s eyes were filled with unyielding determination.


    Suddenly, the spear in his hand moved, and Feng''er''s sweet voice appeared in his mind.


    "Master, this time, I might have to sleep for a very, very long time. You have to protect yourself."


    "Feng Er?" Yang Li was shocked.


    The supine Phoenix Spear in his hand suddenly escaped his control. Crimson red light blossomed, and its aura slowly grew stronger. The aura it exuded caused even Yang Li to be extremely shocked.


    The Dark Wolf, who had originally been fearlessly charging towards him, seemed to have seen something terrifying and could not help but retreat.


    After accumulating his potential, the Lying Phoenix Spear suddenly erupted as a stream of transparent flames sprayed out. When the flames came into contact with the nether wolf, the light in the nether wolf''s eyes dimmed down at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    Burning the soul! The fire shot out from the spear had impressively burnt all of the souls of the nether wolves.


    For a moment, all the nether wolves within three miles of Yang Li fell to the ground. Only one nether wolf with blood-red eyes remained standing. It was the Nether Wolf King.


    And after the Phoenix Spear erupted, the light completely dimmed, falling to Yang Li''s side.


    When Yang Li held it in his hand, he could feel that the spear spirit that was originally extremely cute and sweet as if it called him master had disappeared. Its body was no longer as warm as jade, leaving behind an icy cold atmosphere that stimulated his palms.


    Yang Li was stunned. He felt extremely sad. Although Feng''er hadn''t communicated with him often, he could feel that Feng''er truly and sincerely treated him well.


    After entering the sect for over five years, Feng''er was the only one who made him feel warmth. Although it was only a spear spirit, it still gave him a warm feeling.


    But now, even this warmth had vanished. A sorrowful aura burst forth from Yang Li''s body. He stood there, dazed.


    After an unknown amount of time, the Nether Wolf King slowly walked towards Yang Li. Yang Li raised his head and looked at it. His eyes were bloodshot and the aura of the eighth layer of Qi storage gushed out from his body.


    This was a breakthrough after a long battle, but Yang Li wasn''t the least bit happy. He only had anger in his heart.


    The only thing he wanted to do now was to kill this wolf!


    "Nirvana Flames!" Although the spirit of the spear was gone, the spear could still be used.


    The line of fire charged towards the Wolf King, but it was too late for the Wolf King to evade and it was struck on its body.


    However, it didn''t cause too much damage to him. It only left a hole in his body. It didn''t even cause any damage to the unknown energy of the Flame God Incantation.


    Yang Li paid no heed to them. The flame dragon soared into the sky, the flame dragon spread out in all directions, and its divine flames pierced through the skies. The Flaming Heaven Flames, Nirvana Flames, all blasted towards the Wolf King without a care for the depletion of its spirit energy.


    He did not care about the Wolf King''s attack, he only wanted to kill this wolf!


    Finally, the Wolf King fell. Having lost his wolf pack, even though he was at the middle third-level, his combat strength was still weaker than Yang Li''s, who was at the Tempered Blood realm.


    As for Yang Li, he did not stop attacking even after the Wolf King fell. He only stopped after all of the spirit energy in his body had been exhausted.


    He sat down on the ground in a daze.

 C24

    Feng''er''s departure gave Yang Li a feeling of having lost a family member. He felt as if his mind was in chaos, and it was unknown just what he was thinking.


    All sorts of mixed feelings appeared in his mind.


    "Master, this time, I might really have to sleep for a long time. You have to protect yourself." Yang Li suddenly remembered what Feng''er had said, and his eyes lit up.


    Feng''er had only said that she would be sleeping for a long time; she hadn''t said that she wouldn''t appear!


    "Feng''er, no matter what, I will wake you up. You still haven''t seen me dominating the world, and haven''t felt the fear of others towards you. How can you disappear just like that!" Yang Li muttered to himself.


    "I will make myself stronger. When you wake up again, I will definitely not give you another chance, because I''ve been sleeping for too long!" Yang Li''s eyes became determined, and he became full of energy and motivation once more.


    The supine phoenix spear in his hand also moved, as if it had sensed his intentions and agreed with his view.


    Yang Li felt the movements of the supine Phoenix Spear and was even more convinced of his thoughts. Thus, he sat down cross-legged to recover his spiritual energy.


    Before long, Yang Li''s spirit energy was completely recovered. He took out a Healing Pill and swallowed it.


    He then began to collect the demon cores of the dead nether wolves, because he remembered that when Feng''er woke up, the spear could absorb the demon cores to recover.


    He first took out a demon core and placed it close to the spear. In the blink of an eye, the demon core had turned into powder and its energy was directly absorbed by the spear. Moreover, it seemed to be slightly warmer.


    This discovery made him extremely excited. He began to collect the nether wolves'' demon cores one after another. It was only when it was almost night time did Yang Li finally collect all the demon cores.


    The nether wolf king''s core was the last one he collected. However, just as he was about to collect the nether wolf king core, he heard a cry of surprise from his right.


    "Senior Li, look! There are a lot of nether wolf corpses over here!"


    Yang Li turned his head to look, but was stunned for a moment, because he realized that the people who came were Li Luo and the other disciples of the sect.


    "Junior brother Yang Li, we''ve met again. We''re finally not meeting on the arena stage, but this scene is a bit bloody." When Li Luo saw Yang Li, he was also stunned. Then he smiled and said.


    At the same time, Li Luo thought to himself, "Although the level of the wolves is low, there are too many of them. At the third level of the Spiritual Movement Stage, I don''t dare to mess with them."


    "Wait, eighth level of Qi Accumulation?" However, Li Luo suddenly remembered that Yang Li had only been at the fifth level of Qi Accumulation a month ago! In just a short month, he had broken through to the eighth level of Qi Accumulation!


    Li Luo was extremely shocked, but he did not say anything.


    However, Yang Li didn''t know what Li Luo was thinking, so he replied with a smile, "Greetings senior brother Li Luo, I was wrong. I didn''t pay attention to my appearance. I wonder why senior brother Li Luo is here?"


    "It''s nothing major. I brought my junior brother and sister here to gain some experience. Who would have thought that they would run into junior brother Yang Li? Would junior brother Yang Li want to travel together?"


    "I won''t trouble Senior Brother with my insignificant cultivation. Otherwise, if you have to take care of me, you won''t be able to do it." Yang Li didn''t think much of it and didn''t think much of it. He casually took out the Nether Wolf King''s demon core and placed it in his spatial ring.


    However, even if he didn''t look for trouble, it didn''t mean that others didn''t.


    Before Li Luo could say anything, a disciple walked out from behind him and said in a greedy tone, "Hehe, Junior Yang Li''s words are too wrong. If junior brother is more sensible, then it''s only right for us disciples from the same sect to take care of each other, isn''t that right?"


    When Yang Li heard these words, he frowned and his voice instantly became cold. He said, "It''s best if we don''t trouble the other Seniors. Junior is about to return to the sect."


    "Oh? Does Junior Yang Li not understand what I mean? " The voice of the disciple also became cold.


    At this moment, Li Luo spoke, his voice extremely cold, "Mo Yu, did I allow you to speak?!"


    Yang Li was about to speak, but hearing Li Luo''s voice, he suddenly stopped. He wanted to see what Li Luo would do with it.


    "Senior brother Li Luo, am I wrong?" Junior brother Yang Li understands a little, so why not give us some demon cores? Shouldn''t we bring him to the depths to gain experience? " Mo Yu said with a chuckle when she heard Li Luo ask him.


    "I''m asking you, did I let you speak!?" I didn''t ask you to say anything else! " Li Luo was slightly angry.


    "Senior brother Li Luo, are you trying to help this trash outer court disciple?" Mo Yu''s voice was extremely cold.


    "Alright, Mo Yu, you can scram now. Don''t think that just because you have an elder grandpa that you can act so impudently in front of me. Scram!"


    "Li Luo, I respect you for your high cultivation base, so I called you Senior Brother Li Luo, but you must be clear, you have not become a top disciple yet!" Mo Yu said in an extremely sarcastic tone.


    "I don''t want to repeat myself a third time, scram!" Li Luo was infuriated. The third level of the Spiritual Movement Stage could now be fully unleashed.


    Seeing the angry Li Luo, the corner of Mo Yu''s mouth twitched, but she did not say anything. She gave a deep look at Yang Li and Li Luo, then turned and left the forest.


    "Senior brother Li Luo, this Mo Yu holds a grudge. When we return to the sect, he will have to rely on his grandfather to target you." An extremely pretty girl said.


    "Ah, let it be. I, Li Luo, can''t be afraid of him." Li Luo said in disdain.


    "Gu Yue, you don''t have to worry. Senior brother Li Luo has already reached the third level of the Spiritual Movement Stage at the age of 19. Before long, he will become a top disciple at the fourth level. There''s no need to fear a mere inner elder." Another disciple said.


    Yang Li watched the discussion without interrupting.


    Not long after, Li Luo walked out, and with an apologetic tone, he said to Yang Li, "I''m really sorry, junior brother Yang Li. I also didn''t expect something like this to happen."


    Yang Li laughed without a care, "Senior brother Li Luo is too courteous. I wonder if senior brother Ming Lang''s corpse is interested?"


    "I''ve already taken out all of the nether wolves'' Demonic Cores, but I can''t take away their corpses. If senior can take them away, I might as well sell them as a gift from you." After he finished, Yang Li glanced at the storage ring on Li Luo''s hand.


    "Junior brother, you ¡­" Just as Li Luo was about to speak, he was interrupted by Yang Li.


    "That''s nothing. I''m leaving first. Take care, Elder Brother Li Luo. See you back at the sect." Yang Li turned around and left without hesitation.


    Leaving behind the corpses of the Dark Wolf and a stunned Li Luo. Li Luo originally wanted to urge them to stay, but Yang Li had already left.


    At this time, a disciple weakly said: "Senior Brother, do we accept the corpses on the ground or not?"


    Li Luo took a deep breath and said, "Withdraw!" Junior brother Yang Li must accept this great gift! "With so many nether wolf corpses, a thousand spirit stones is a must. I can exchange them for quite a few cultivation resources."


    However, he suddenly remembered something. He turned to Gu Yue and said, "Gu Yue, follow Yang Li. Mo Yu said he can''t stop him at the entrance and help him block Mo Yu. Junior brother Yang Li is already exhausted, so he definitely won''t be able to escape Mo Yu."


    "Alright, I''ll go now." With that, Gu Yue immediately chased after Yang Li.


    Yang Li was currently not far from the entrance, but his clothes were in pieces and the wounds all over his body were not suitable for him to leave. Thus, he directly changed directions and headed towards the other direction.


    As an inner disciple at the seventh level of the Blood Tempering stage, Gu Yue''s speed was naturally faster than Yang Li''s. When Yang Li changed directions, although Gu Yue had doubts, she still followed him.


    Not long after, she saw Yang Li stop, then stop to look at him. However, in the next second, her face turned red.


    "Rogue!" She hurriedly turned around and scolded with a flushed face. So, Yang Li had stopped to change his clothes and had taken off his shirt. Gu Yue had just happened to see this.


    If Yang Li knew what she was thinking now, he wouldn''t know whether to laugh or cry.


    How could he have known that Li Luo would send someone to protect his safety? Moreover, it was a pretty girl, and she just so happened to see him change his clothes.


    Fortunately, he was able to take off his shirt, so it wasn''t really a big deal.


    Very quickly, Yang Li changed into a new set of clothes and dashed towards the entrance. Gu Yue, who had sensed his departure, also turned around and hastily followed.


    Just as Yang Li left the entrance, he heard a sinister laugh.


    "After waiting for you for so long, I''ve finally come out. You''ve caused me to lose face in front of my fellow disciples. If I don''t kill you now, it would be hard for me to vent my anger!"


    When Yang Li heard this voice, he looked over with rapt attention. It was Mo Yu waiting for him at the entrance.


    Yang Li''s mind trembled as he quickly thought of a way to deal with this. He then heard a voice as clear as an oriole coming from above his head.


    "I knew you would be waiting for Yang Li at the door. Fortunately, senior brother Li Luo let me follow."


    When Yang Li heard the voice and looked up, he saw it was Gu Yue. He immediately laughed and Gu Yue looked down at him.


    Gu Yue''s face turned red as she looked him in the eye. She muttered something to herself, probably scolding Yang Li for being shameless.


    Mo Yu''s countenance turned incredibly unsightly as she spoke in a rage, "Gu Yue, Li Luo wants to fight to the death with me, do you also want to fight to the death with me?"


    "What does your narrow-mindedness have to do with us?" Gu Yue said disdainfully.


    "Good, good, good. We are both at the eighth level of the Blood Tempering stage, but Li Luo has always felt that you are stronger than me. Today, I will see just how much stronger you are!"


    "Blood Fire Sword Art, Blood Dye the Heavens!" Mo Yu directly took out her longsword and attacked Gu Yue.


    Mo Yu''s spirit art was a strange blood-red color. An overwhelming aura rushed towards Gu Yue, as if wanting to completely submerge her within the blazing spiritual energy.


    Upon seeing Mo Yu make a move, Gu Yue hurriedly said, "Yang Li, quickly leave, I''ll stop him."


    "Illusory Moon Sword Technique, Spirit Edge!"


    The weapon in Gu Yue''s hand trembled, transforming into beams of sword light. Her aura grew even more majestic as she faced Mo Yu. Her sharp aura felt as though it could cut through the heavens.


    When Yang Li heard Gu Yue''s words, he immediately dashed towards the sect, with no intentions of interfering. After all, with his current cultivation, meddling in the matter was too difficult.


    However, if he was given a few more months, this level of trash would definitely fall to his sword. At the same time, his appreciation for Li Luo increased.


    Although his current level of cultivation was not as high as Li Luo''s, with his current rate of improvement, surpassing Li Luo was only a matter of time.


    When Yang Li approached the Misty City, he saw a person sitting at the city gate cultivating. He was wearing an outer disciple''s uniform with the word ''blue'' embroidered on it. Yang Li didn''t think much of it and decided to take a detour to enter the city.


    However, when that person saw Yang Li approaching, he immediately stood up. His two eyes looked at him indifferently and said, "Are you Yang Li?"


    "Hmm? "You are?" Hearing his voice, Yang Li stopped and suspiciously asked, because he didn''t have any impression of this person.


    "Hello Junior Brother Yang Li, let''s get to know each other. I am Yue Long, at the first level of the pure blood realm, here to kill your people." Yue Long''s originally calm voice was suddenly filled with killing intent as he spat out the last sentence.

 C25

    The killing intent from Yue Long grew stronger and stronger, but when he felt Yang Li''s cultivation, he was stunned.


    "Eight level of the Qi Accumulation Stage? Are they talking about the fifth level of the Qi Accumulation Stage? Why is it different? " However, he quickly tossed this question to the back of his mind. This was because he felt that there was no difference between the fifth level of the Qi Accumulation Stage and the eighth level of the Qi Accumulation Stage.


    "Who told you to kill me?" Yang Li said coldly.


    "Although it''s not important, but it''s still good for you to understand. Who told you to offend Senior Brother Wan Sheng? "Hahaha." Yue Long said with a perverted smile.


    "Since you already know, then go die!"


    "Sky Breaking Palm Art, Sky Breaking Strike!" Yue Long''s body rapidly approached Yang Li like a ray of light, his palm carrying a shattered aura as it flickered with a dazzling silver light, ruthlessly smashing towards Yang Li.


    "Floating Light Illuminating Shadow, Divine Flame Summoning the Heavens!" Yang Li''s reaction speed was extremely fast, he immediately used his movement technique to retreat, and took out his spear, Divine Flame Mi Tian, and pushed it towards Yue Long.


    "It''s just a little trick." Yue Long laughed disdainfully as he struck out with his Sky Breaking Palm towards Yang Li''s Soul Mandate. The aura of Divine Flame Mi Tian gradually weakened, but Yue Long''s Sky Breaking Palm also lost its power.


    Yue Long furrowed his brows. This was slightly different from his expectations, but he quickly said with a charming smile.


    "Junior brother, you''re quite strong. Why don''t you try this move? Sky Breaking Palm Art ¨C Breaking Wind!" A faint stream of air surrounded Yue Long''s palm. As Yue Long raised his hand to release the spirit art, he quickly approached Yang Li.


    "Flame God Spear Art, Rising Flame Dragon!" The fire dragon appeared once again in the world. With an aura even more powerful than before, it rushed towards Yue Long''s spirit technique. The two spirit arts met in midair.


    This time, Yang Li''s spirit art was even more powerful. After breaking Yue Long''s spirit art, he rushed straight towards Yue Long, as if he wanted to completely burn him down.


    "Junior brother, your battle prowess is astonishing, but I suddenly don''t want to play anymore. So, let''s finish this!" Sky Breaking Palm Art, Demon Breaking Strike! "


    The specks of starlight circled around Yue Long''s hands, giving off an unknown Qi, as if it could destroy thousands of spells. With Yue Long''s movement technique, it rushed straight towards Yang Li.


    "Divine Flames Shrouding the Heavens!"


    "Soaring Crimson Dragon!"


    Yang Li used two consecutive spirit techniques to attack Yue Long, but the starlight in Yue Long''s hands flickered with a strange silver color and directly smashed the fire dragon to pieces. Furthermore, the Divine Flame Mi Tian was also shattered, its remaining power did not diminish as it continued to attack Yang Li.


    After releasing his spirit technique, Yang Li quickly retreated. Yue Long''s spirit technique gave him a strange feeling, he did not really want to face it head on, but seeing that Yue Long was chasing after him, Yang Li was a little angry.


    "Flame God Spear Art Fifth Form, Nirvana Flames!" Fiery red spirit energy gathered on the spear, and as Yang Li thrust it out, a blazing and dazzling light shot out from the spear head, and Yue Long''s palm also arrived.


    "Bam!" The point where the two collided with each other suddenly exploded. A large hole was blasted through the hard ground, and Yang Li was blown several meters away by the shockwave from the explosion.


    After Yang Li steadied his body, he was looking for Yue Long. Even he, who was at the edge of the ground, was blown several metres away, let alone Yue Long who was at the center.


    Yue Long was naturally in an even more miserable state. He was directly sent flying and heavily crashed onto the ground tens of metres away.


    After Yang Li saw this, he immediately used his movement technique and thrust forwards. Taking advantage of the time when you were sick and taking your life, this was the perfect time to beat a drowning dog.


    On the other side, after Yue Long managed to stand up, he saw Yang Li thrusting his spear at him.


    Hurriedly, he circulated his spirit energy to avoid this strike, but just as he dodged, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body weakened.


    When Yang Li saw this scene, he showed no mercy and thrusted his spear out again.


    "If not for Big Dipper''s resistance towards the opponent''s spirit technique, his life would not be left!" For a cultivator at the first level of the pure blood to be chased and beaten by a person at the eighth level of Qi Accumulation, what a shame! " Yue Long cursed silently in his heart, but there was nothing he could do other than to hide.


    "Yang Li, you forced me to do this!" The more Yue Long fought, the more anxious he became. In the end, he was enraged and directly took out a pill from his chest and swallowed it.


    In just a few seconds, his momentum had returned to its peak, yet it did not stop and continued rising.


    Late stage of the second level of the Blood Tempering Stage!


    After consuming the pill, Yue Long''s aura surged to the peak of the late stage of the second level of the Blood Tempering Stage!


    Yang Li was extremely weak at the moment. He had originally been rushing over, and more than half of his spirit energy had been used up. Adding the battle just now, his spirit energy was completely depleted.


    But he was not afraid. He still went up to meet them. It was not his style to retreat. Even if he died, he would do his best to survive!


    "Flame God Spear Art, Nirvana Flames!" The most powerful fifth move was naturally the first choice, not to mention that Yue Long had already broken through to the late stage of the second level of the pure blood realm.


    Just as Yang Li unleashed his spirit art, Yue Long''s Qi suddenly started to slide, in a blink of an eye dropping to the eighth level of the Qi Accumulation Stage.


    Yang Li looked at Yue Long in shock, he was completely dumbstruck, he had already prepared for this battle, but Yue Long''s Qi had actually slipped out!


    Yue Long''s cultivation base had fallen to the eighth level of the Qi Accumulation Realm in a single breath. Yang Li''s spirit arts had already been unleashed without mercy. If they wanted to kill him, they had to be prepared to be killed by him!


    "Demon Break!"


    Yue Long, who was originally full of confidence as he prepared to kill Yang Li, was now panicking.


    However, he, who was at the first level of the Blood Tempering Stage, was still unable to perfectly block Yang Li''s Spiritual Art, let alone the fact that he had already fallen to the eighth level of the Qi Accumulation Stage.


    The result was obvious. Yang Li''s magic directly sent him flying.


    "No!" Yue Long shouted unwillingly.


    "Explode!" When Yang Li heard Yue Long''s loud shout, he didn''t give him the slightest chance and directly ignited the spiritual energy in Yue Long''s body.


    With a "peng" sound, Yue Long''s body exploded into pieces, leaving only the flesh and blood on the ground, emitting a faintly burnt smell.


    Yang Li released some spirit energy and burned the flesh on the ground before rushing into the city.


    He shouldn''t stay here any longer because his spiritual energy had already run out. He had to find a place to recover as soon as possible, otherwise, if he were to encounter any danger, he wouldn''t be able to resist at all.


    At the entrance to the Dense Fog Forest.


    Li Luo and the others finished cleaning up the corpse of the Dark Wolf and walked out of the forest happily.


    Nearly two thousand nether wolves'' corpses. Although Yang Li had already taken away the most valuable monster core, the nether wolves'' corpses were still worth quite a bit.


    Teeth could be used to make low grade weapons, flesh could be used to make Spirit Food, and the Dark Fire Wolf''s fur was also extremely valuable. A mortal lady once offered five Spirit Stones to buy it.


    There were more than a thousand nether wolves, all of which had full furs. According to the market price, each wolf was worth at least one spirit stone. In total, each wolf was worth at least several hundred spirit stones.


    The total value of killing a seventh level demon beast was more than a hundred, not to mention the fact that hunting a seventh level demon beast was different from other demon beasts. The risk factor was extremely high.


    "Senior brother Li Luo, over here." Gu Yue softly called out after seeing a few joyful faces as they walked out.


    The battle between her and Mo Yu was over, and Mo Yu was tied up by her.


    Upon seeing this, Li Luo walked over and smiled to Mo Yu. "I''ve always told you, your strength is inferior to Gu Yue''s. Do you believe me now?"


    "Humph!" Mo Yu turned her head away, not even looking at Li Luo.


    "Alright, Gu Yue, let junior brother Mo Yu go. Otherwise, if his grandfather doesn''t see him going back, we''ll probably be in big trouble as well." Li Luo ignored Mo Yu''s attitude as he turned to Gu Yue.


    "Mm, then I''ll undo it." When Gu Yue heard Li Luo''s words, she immediately cut apart the rope on Mo Yu''s body.


    "Mo Yu, you''re going back. No matter what you do to me, it doesn''t matter if you''re looking for your grandfather or yourself. I''ll take any moves you have, but!" Li Luo originally said this lightly, but after he said it, his tone turned cold.


    "As long as you dare to go against Yang Li, after I''m promoted to the top and taken in as a disciple by a Spirit Fusion Stage Elder, the first thing I''ll do is to kill you!"


    Mo Yu heard Li Luoshen''s cold tone, and his entire body shivered. He seemed to feel that it was a bit shameful, and directly flew into a rage out of shame, "Don''t worry about Yang Li, you can hold on until you become a top disciple! I will definitely not let you off! "


    "Maybe. Oh, right, I have good news for you." Li Luo said with a smile.


    "Junior brother Yang Li, leave all of the nether wolf corpses to us. If we exchange these for cultivation resources, then within half a month, I will advance to the fourth level of the Spiritual Movement Stage and become a top disciple. Therefore ¡­"


    "You''d better find a way to cripple me within half a month, or else, rely on your Spirit Controlling Realm grandfather to kill me. Otherwise, you won''t have any hope in your life."


    Finished speaking, Li Luo didn''t bother about Mo Yu, who had an ugly expression on her face, and turned to leave with Gu Yue and the rest.


    Before leaving, Gu Yue even gave Mo Yu a pitiful look.


    "Li Luo!" Watching the few of them leave, Mo Yu bellowed furiously.


    At this time, Yang Li found an inn in the city and began to recover his spiritual energy. In less than an hour, his spiritual energy had already completely recovered.


    However, Yang Li did not leave immediately. Instead, he once again used all of his spiritual energy to inscribe a sky-high circle spirit technique on the surface of his body.


    This time, the drawn formation gave him the feeling that it could last for around seven days or so. Moreover, its defensive capabilities seemed to have increased as well, far surpassing the formation that he had drawn before.


    After recovering his spirit energy once again, Yang Li took out the supine phoenix spear and placed the nether wolf demon cores on the spear one by one for it to absorb. Not long after, there was a pile of powder in the room.


    After absorbing about two hundred spirit stones, no matter what beast cores Yang Li took out, the spear would no longer absorb them. It fell into a state of silence.


    Yang Li laughed helplessly, and used his spirit energy to remove the powder on the ground, then directly left the inn and walked towards the sect.


    Just as he walked through the mountain gate, Yang Li felt a pair of eyes staring at him. Yang Li frowned, and continued walking as if nothing had happened.


    Not long after that, the feeling disappeared and he looked in front of him. He saw a vulgar looking outer disciple running toward the east side of the sect at an extremely fast speed.


    This disciple was Jing Mu.


    And at this moment, Jing Mu was extremely shocked in his heart. Yue Long, who was sent to kill Yang Li, had not returned, while Yang Li, who should not have returned, had stepped into the eighth level of Qi Accumulation and returned to the sect.

 C26

    "Senior brother Meng Zhong!" The moment Jing Mu stepped into Meng Zhong''s yard, he shouted anxiously.


    "What are you panicking for!" "If you have something to say, just say it!" When Meng Zhong heard his voice, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face.


    "Senior brother Meng Zhong, Yang Li came back, but Yue Long disappeared!" Jing Mu paused for a moment and said word by word.


    "Moreover, Yang Li only left for a single trip before breaking through from the fifth level to the eighth level!"


    "What?" Meng Zhong was also surprised. He pondered for a moment.


    "Yang Li has a secret. He''s in the sect right now, so we shouldn''t make a move. Wait!" If there really is a secret, he will definitely go out! " Meng Zhong said in an extremely decisive manner.


    "Keep watching him!" If he goes out again, find snow and let it kill him! "


    "Yes sir!" When Jing Mu heard Meng Zhong''s words, he wanted to say something, but on second thought, Snow was not as useless as Yue Long. Although she was only at the second level of the Blood Tempering Stage, her combat ability was definitely comparable to a third level Blood Tempering Stage martial artist.


    "Alright, you can go now. Continue watching Yang Li." Meng Zhong waved his hand and dismissed him.


    "Yes sir!" When Jing Mu heard Meng Zhong''s words, he immediately turned around and left, leaving Meng Zhong in deep thought.


    After some time, Meng Zhong made up his mind. If Snow missed again, he would personally make his move.


    After Yang Li entered the sect, he didn''t head towards the mission hall, but instead headed towards his own residence.


    After returning to his residence, Yang Li hung a sign at the entrance: Do not disturb me while I am in seclusion.


    After that, he sat cross-legged on the bed and examined his injuries. Although he had taken the Healing Pill and suppressed his internal injuries, he still couldn''t recover from it. It had a huge impact on his spiritual energy circulation and battle prowess.


    "Let''s first fully recover from our injuries before thinking about other matters."


    He activated the Flame God Incantation and carefully examined his entire body. There were many wounds on the upper half of his body, and the wounds were crisscrossing. There were even deep wounds that could be seen on the bones, making him look especially terrifying.


    Yang Li''s leg had also been attacked by the nether wolves, and there were several deep wounds. If it was anyone else, they would not even dare to walk, much less fight. However, Yang Li relied on his strong willpower to endure the pain as he returned to the sect.


    Not only that, but he had also killed Yue Long, whose cultivation was much higher than his.


    The Healing Pill emitted a strange energy that rushed from his body towards the wounds. With the help of Yang Li''s Flame Divine Art, the wounds began to rapidly heal.


    Two days passed in the blink of an eye.


    The injury that would have taken three days to heal was shortened to two days under Yang Li''s incessant urging.


    However, Yang Li was also extremely tired. Ever since he had met the Dark Wolf, his entire mind had been in a state of tension. Furthermore, after killing the Dark Wolf, the injuries all over his body had greatly stimulated his spirit.


    Now that all his injuries had healed, Yang Li''s tense nerves relaxed for a split-second before his vision turned black and he fell asleep.


    The next day, Yang Li crawled out of bed, stretched, and walked out to wash his face in the pond. His entire body was brimming with energy, and after practicing the Flame God Spear Art, he cast the Floating Light Flash once more.


    "Hmm? Middle stage of the eighth floor? " Yang Li was surprised to discover that he had reached the middle of the eighth level of Qi Accumulation. Although he had only broken through a tiny boundary, the change to him was still tremendous.


    The amount of spirit energy flowing into his blood grew more and more. A strange energy seemed to be flowing through his blood, making him even more powerful.


    It must be because he recovered from his injuries, his spiritual force went through a round of ascension, and his spiritual force also went up to a small level.


    Yang Li laughed and did not continue thinking about it. Using his movement technique, he flew towards the External Affairs Hall.


    Not long after, Yang Li arrived at the External Affairs Hall. The Outer Duty Hall was as lively as ever. Some of the disciples left with calm expressions, some with sullen faces, but most of them were disciples brimming with joy.


    "Senior brother, hand in the mission." Yang Li quickly walked towards the mission area and shouted to the foreman.


    "Give me your identity token." The deacon said plainly.


    Yang Li took out his identity plate and handed it over to him.


    "Fire Mist Flower, Fog Concealing Grass, Billowing Fire Snake, and Earth Dragon Bear. Will you hand them all over or choose to hand them over?"


    "Hand over the Fire Serpent''s mission." Yang Li calmly said.


    "Yep, one of the demon cores from the Billowing Fire Serpent is at the lowest level. According to the level of the demon cores you pay, you''ll receive a reward."


    As the deacon''s voice fell, he saw Yang Li throw a Billowing Fire Snake demon core onto the table.


    He picked it up and checked it. His eyes twitched as he looked at Yang Li.


    "Early Second Grade Billowing Fire Snake Demonic Core, fire poison dual attribute. According to the rules of the mission, you can obtain 200 spirit stones. Are you sure you want to hand in the mission?"


    "I''m sure." Yang Li said without hesitation.


    "Junior brother, if you get this snake core from the auction house, you can sell it for at least 260 spirit stones. Do you really want to turn in the mission?"


    The deacon looked at Yang Li in confusion.


    "Sure, I''ll have to trouble senior brother to help me hand it over." Yang Li said.


    "Alright, then I''ll help you confirm it''s done."


    The deacon brought along his identity token and demon core as he headed towards the back of the Mission Office.


    After Yang Li waited for a while, he saw the deacon take out a bag.


    "Junior brother, please touch it. 200 spirit stones."


    "Thank you, Senior Martial Brother. I will take my leave first." With that, Yang Li walked out without even looking.


    For the past few days, the spear didn''t absorb any demon cores, but it seemed to be saturated. He planned to go to the Trade Hall to see if there were any rare ores to help Feng''er wake up.


    The trading hall was divided into four entrances: the east, west, east, and west. The two entrances led to the outer sect, while the east entrance led to the top disciples and the direct disciples.


    It was one of the most special halls in the sect. Disciples could sell their items here, and the Trade Hall would buy them at market prices. At the same time, they could set up stalls here to buy or sell items.


    At the same time, other than the items the sect needed, the rest of the strange items would be put on sale for people to choose from. Pills and weapons would also be sold.


    This included some martial arts. Although the sect would carve them into the Scripture Pavilion, they would be sold here at the same time. Moreover, their prices would also be lower.


    The Trade Hall was also extremely lively. Yang Li first looked at all the stalls and found that no one was selling ores.


    The ores in the Trade Hall were not for sale. They were directly distributed to the Pill Hall for refiners to refine and use.


    After thinking for a moment, Yang Li found a stall and wrote a sign: Selling Dark Wolf Demonic Cores for Rare Ores.


    After that, Yang Li directly took out a portion of mid-Second Order nether wolf monster cores and quietly sat there, waiting.


    "Junior brother, how do I buy the Star Pattern Copper?" Not long after, a disciple came over to inquire about the matter.


    "According to the market price, an Astral Patterned Copper is equivalent to 80 spirit stone slags per jin. If Senior Brother has a larger amount, Junior Brother can purchase it according to 90 spirit stone slags. I wonder what you think?" Yang Li also kindly said.


    "Sure, but I have 10 Jin here. That''s not considered small. How about 9 spirit stones?" If it''s possible, I''ll go back to retrieve it immediately! " The disciple asked with an inquiring tone.


    "Alright, Senior Martial Brother, you go and fetch them. Junior Martial Brother, wait here. At the same time, I would like to ask Senior Martial Brother to help me inform the other fellow Junior Martial Brothers." Yang Li said with a smile.


    "No problem. Junior brother, please wait a moment." With that, he turned around and ran out of the trading hall.


    Seeing him leave, Yang Li smiled, and suddenly heard a ruckus coming from the eastern entrance. He could not help but turn his head over.


    Her pupils were clear, her eyebrows were slightly curved, her nose was high, and her thin lips were like a rose. She wore a light green robe, and like a fairy from a painting, she walked towards the palace with many disciples following behind her.


    "Senior brother, who is this woman?" When Yang Li saw her, his heart suddenly fiercely jumped. His eyebrows rose as he turned his head to ask the disciple next door.


    "You don''t even know Su Wanqing?" The disciple looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot.


    "Her name is Su Wan Qing, the direct disciple of the Sect Leader. She was brought over from a certain clan five years ago and I heard that her talent in cultivation and alchemy is equally terrifying. In just a short five years, she has not only broken through to the ninth level of the Spirit Movement Stage, but can also refine a third level pellet."


    "Even the Pill Palace''s Hall Master was praising her for her talent in alchemy. He even said that if she was not the Sect Leader''s direct disciple, he would snatch Su Wanqing under his wing."


    "Moreover, Su Wanqing is the sect''s number one beauty. I wonder how many people adore her. Sigh, it''s fine if she is pretty, but she is also an absolute genius." The disciple could not help but sigh.


    "People like us shouldn''t even think about getting close to others. It''s better for us to cultivate properly." The disciple sincerely said to Yang Li.


    "Thank you, Senior Martial Brother. I will remember this." After Yang Li heard his words, he smiled and expressed his thanks. He thought to himself: "Did you climb high? "Who knows what the future holds?"


    Thinking of this, he looked at Su Wanqing and smiled faintly. He lowered his head and continued to look at his booth.


    If not for the fact that she had lost a Demonic Core and the Pill Palace was gone, she would never appear in front of so many people. This led to many disciples following behind her, unable to catch up.


    "Forget it, let''s just find them and leave as soon as possible." Su Wan Qing thought for a while and started to quickly scan the stall. Whenever she saw Demonic Cores, she would ask about them, but there was nothing that satisfied her.


    She quickly arrived at Yang Li''s left side of the stall, but still wasn''t able to satisfy him. It was only when she saw Yang Li''s booth that her eyes suddenly lit up.


    "All of them are Level 2 Mid Dark Wolf Monster Cores!"


    Yang Li raised his head to look at Su Wanqing who had just walked in front of the booth. He could not help but praise in his heart, "Her skin is like Xue Ning''s, and her eyes are like the stars. She is truly like a celestial being raised by the heavens." However, he remained calm on the surface.


    Su Wan Qing looked down at the cores and stared at Yang Li. Her voice was sweet and melodious like an oriole as she asked, "Junior brother, you have so many nether wolf cores. Did you encounter the nether wolves?"


    "Senior, are you interested in the Demonic Core?" Yang Li, on the other hand, did not respond to her question. He did not avoid Su Wan Qing''s gaze in the slightest. Instead, he looked at her with clear eyes.


    This made Su Wan Qing interested in Yang Li because very few people in the sect dared to meet her gaze. Most of them looked at him with lust and desire, and Yang Li''s clear eyes made her feel a strange sensation.


    "Yes, I''m missing a rank 3 beast core for my alchemy. Does Junior have it?" Su Wan Qing didn''t seem to care about Yang Li''s question at all. However, the eyes of the people behind her became unfriendly.


    "There is one, and it is a mid-Grade Three Wolf King Demonic Core. However, I need it to exchange for something that I need urgently. Senior Sister, please forgive me." Yang Li said indifferently.


    "Junior brother, this is senior sister Su Wanqing. It is your honor to have senior sister Su Wanqing use your things, but you still want to exchange with her!" "He doesn''t know how to appreciate favors!" A disciple behind Su Wan Qing stepped forward and sneered.


    When Su Wan Qing heard this, her face turned cold and her voice became icy, "Murin, I am the one who is buying, not you. I respect you as a fellow student, but to be rude, you are not qualified to meddle in my affairs!"

 C27

    After Murin heard these words, his face turned green and white. However, he had nothing to say. He had also withdrawn his feet.


    However, he did not think about the reason for Su Wanqing''s anger because he had done such a thing before. Although Su Wanqing was not happy at that time, she would not deny him face.


    It was just that in the end, the deal would be concluded, but this time, because the disciple had scolded him, he had lost a lot of face.


    He did not dare to spout harsh words at Su Wanqing, but he secretly remembered Yang Li in his heart. To him, Yang Li was nothing more than a grasshopper that he could squish with his bare hands.


    After losing face, he naturally had to find someone to vent his anger on.


    At this time, the disciple that was going to sell the Star Pattern Copper arrived. He saw that Yang Li''s stall was surrounded by a group of people, but he didn''t know who was inside. Afraid that Yang Li wouldn''t accept his ore, he hastily shouted, "Junior brother, junior brother, I''ve brought the Star Pattern Copper."


    Then, he hurriedly squeezed forward. However, when he pushed his way to the front and found that the person standing in front of him was Su Wan Qing, he was stupefied.


    Yang Li saw the disciple''s daze, and smiled: "Senior brother, what are you daydreaming for? "I will pay with money on one hand and deliver with goods on the other."


    "Oh, okay." The disciple muddle-headedly handed the ore to Yang Li. After receiving the spirit stone, he suddenly reacted.


    With a twisted expression, he secretly cursed himself for losing his composure and ran out of the room in a hurry.


    Su Wan Qing, on the other hand, didn''t mind. She was used to this kind of thing happening, but from the time the disciple passed him the ore, she immediately thought of what Yang Li was missing.


    "Junior brother, I don''t have any good ores here either. I only have a piece of Grade 3 Ironwood Essence Gold. If junior brother is willing, can we exchange for some?"


    Yang Li said when he heard Su Wan Qing''s words.


    "Senior sister Su, the prices of these two items are not equal. A single Dark Wolf King''s Demonic Core is only a few dozen Spirit Stones, but a piece of Ironwood Essence Gold could only be bought with a hundred Spirit Stones."


    Junior does not like to take advantage of others, Junior does not have anything else. With the Nether Wolf King''s demon cores and the hundred or so nether wolf cores in the booth, it''s barely worth Senior Sister''s iron wood essence gold. If Senior Sister is willing, then I will use these demon cores to exchange for it.


    "Sure."


    When Su Wan Qing heard Yang Li''s words, she smiled. That smile really stunned everyone. She smiled back at him, and even Yang Li lost his composure.


    However, he quickly adjusted himself. His eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at Su Wanqing.


    Seeing Yang Li adjust so quickly, even Su Wan Qing was a little surprised. She looked at Yang Li with a different gaze.


    However, she didn''t think for long and directly took out the Metal and Wood Essence Gold and gave it to Yang Li. Yang Li also retracted his gaze and passed the demon cores from the stall along with the Dark Wolf King to her.


    After obtaining the Metal and Wood Essence Gold, Yang Li turned around and left.


    Su Wan Qing saw Yang Li leave and also left with her Demonic Core. She didn''t even bother to greet the people behind her and left them in the distance.


    On the way back, Su Wan Qing thought for a while before sending a message to another person, "Ci, I met an interesting person today!"


    "Oh? Who can make our beautiful Su find this interesting? " A melodious voice rang out.


    "A strange outer disciple, he actually didn''t reveal any lustful expression when he saw me! On the contrary, it''s a look of admiration! " Su Wanqing tried her best to recall.


    "Appreciate it? My family''s late Qing is so beautiful and charming, isn''t it normal to appreciate it? Haha, wait, why did you go to the outer sect? Didn''t you never go there? "


    "Not to the outer sect, but to the Trade Hall. Master said that the inner and outer sect competitions are going to start early, and he wanted me to refine a Rank 3 Spirit Pill as the prize for the outer sect''s champion. Then, he would lack a Demonic Core, and since the Pill Hall didn''t have it, I would like to try my luck at the Trade Hall." Su Wanqing sniffed with her nose and said adorably.


    "Hmm? What was going on? Why did the competition begin earlier? " The phrase puzzled him.


    "I heard that only those below the Spirit Realm can enter. Then, Master decided to start the outer sect competition ahead of time and let us direct our disciples to lead the way."


    "What does entering below the Spirit Realm have to do with the outer sect?" There are a lot of top disciples. " The words became even more puzzled.


    "Master said that he would send out ten teams, and then each team would send out one personal disciple, three top disciples, three inner disciples, and one outer disciple." Su Wan Qing said helplessly.


    "Master also said that he wanted me to lead a team this time. He even asked me to lead a team this time. Hmph!" Su Wanqing ground her teeth adorably, trying her best to pretend that she was clenching her teeth.


    "Haha, if your master hears these words of yours, he can''t die from grief." When she heard this, she couldn''t help but laugh out loud.


    "Words!" You''re actually laughing at me! Just you wait, I must tell Grandfather Yun! Let him send you too! "


    "No need! No need! My family''s late Qing is about to leave, how can I not accompany you? I''ll go and say it myself, hahaha. " Words laughed.


    "Ignore you!" I''m going to refine pills! Goodbye! " Su Wan Qing cut off the sound transmission in frustration and went straight to her room.


    Yang Li had already returned to his residence. He took out the Metal and Wood Essence Gold, and brought it close to the spear. The Steel Wood Essence Gold turned into molten iron, attaching itself to the spear.


    At first, it was still emitting a faint light, but not long after, it completely fused with the long spear and disappeared without a trace.


    Yang Li once again took out the Star Pattern Copper, but there was no reaction from the spear. No matter how he tried, the result was the same. Helplessly, he could only put it away.


    Just at this moment, two messages came from his identity token. He quickly opened it and read carefully.


    "All inner and outer sect disciples pay attention to this competition. The competition will be held one month in advance, and the disciples will be required to complete the competition within ten days. At the same time, the thirty inner and ten outer sect disciples will accompany the direct disciples and the top disciples of the Spirit Realm to the Flowing Fire Secret Realm five days after the competition ends."


    The outer sect competition will be held one month in advance. The official registration will start on the third day of the next month, and the competition will officially start on the fifth day. The disciples who want to register can begin their registration on the day of registration.


    After reading the two messages, Yang Li frowned. He closed his eyes and felt the time of the next use of the beast skin; he discovered that there were still 25 days until it could be used. Today was the 8th day, which meant that the next use would happen to be on the 3rd of the next month.


    At the same time, it also meant that he wouldn''t have time to leave the sect and use the beast skin. This couldn''t help but give him a headache.


    After considering it for a moment, Yang Li decided that he would use beast skins in the training tower. Although it was somewhat dangerous, it was definitely better than living quarters.


    Thinking of this, he immediately left his residence and headed towards the Pill Hall. He planned to collect the cultivation resources for this month and purchase some pills.


    Not long after, Yang Li arrived at the Pill Hall and received his daily cultivation resources as per usual.


    He turned around and walked to the counter of the Pill Hall.


    "Yang Fire Pills, Tier 1 spiritual pills. Slightly increases the speed at which spiritual energy is absorbed. Duration of one day. Price: 1 spirit stone."


    As for the Fiery Burning Pill and the Heavy Sun Pill, they had the same effect as the Yang Fire Pill. The only difference was that their speed of improvement was a bit faster. The duration was three days and five days, but they were both only Tier 1 pills.


    Yang Li did not hesitate to purchase four Heavy Yang Pills for a total of twenty spirit stones.


    He then looked at the other medicinal pills. After choosing one for a long time, he finally bought another two ¡­


    "Qi Accumulation Pill: Level 2 elixir. It can directly break through a small realm of the Qi Accumulation Stage. For example, if consumed, it can directly advance to the late stage of the fifth level." Price: 60 Spirit Stones. "


    "Comprehension Elixir: Level 2 Elixir. Can be used by those below Spirit Actualization realm. When you''re learning Spirit Arts, you can quickly simulate the process of cultivation in your mind for three days." Price: 80 spirit stones. "


    Yang Li originally wanted to buy other pills, but he only had a few dozen spirit stones left.


    "Forget it, I''ll buy them after the outer sect competition ends. After all, there are enough of these pills." Thinking of this, Yang Li immediately left for the cultivation tower.


    With the outer sect competition nearing, the number of people in the cultivation tower increased compared to before.


    After Yang Li entered the training tower, he discovered that the lower ten floors were already occupied. There were no more training rooms available, so he had no choice but to go up.


    After entering the secret room, Yang Li directly placed eight Spirit Stones. The formation revolved and the Spiritual Energy within the room was immediately filled up.


    Yang Li walked to the praying mat in the middle and sat down cross-legged. He took out the Qi Accumulating Pill and swallowed it, and the pill turned into a liquid that flowed slowly along his meridians. Yang Li used his spirit energy to wrap the liquid medicine around it and converted it into his own cultivation.


    After four hours, he finally converted all the medicinal essences into his own spiritual power, and his cultivation reached the late stage of the eighth level of Qi Accumulation.


    "It''s not enough. My cultivation is only at the eighth level of Qi Accumulation. It''s not enough for me to become the champion of the outer sect competition. I think I should continue cultivating." Yang Li muttered to himself.


    Following that, he took out the Heavy Yang pill and swallowed it. The Spiritual Energy around his body also became cheerful as it circulated much faster than usual. The medicinal liquid slowly emitted out from within his body.


    Cultivating passed without time, and 20 days passed by quickly, and the outer court-martial competition drew closer and closer.


    "I''ve finally reached the ninth level of Qi Accumulation. It''s too slow." After 20 days, the last Heavy Yang Pill''s efficacy had disappeared. Others might not be able to break through from the eighth level of Qi Accumulation to the ninth level in two months. Yang Li had only used a month to break through, but he felt extremely dissatisfied.


    As his cultivation reached the ninth level of Qi Accumulation, Yang Li''s blood also began to boil. Threads of spirit energy seeped into his blood, slowly but surely transforming.


    As soon as he broke through to the seventh floor, his spirit energy started to fuse with his blood. This originally happened only when he was in the Blood Tempering Realm.


    The Blood Tempering Realm was the process of fusing origin energy into the bloodstream, causing the reserves of origin energy to increase. At the same time, it would also subtly strengthen the human body, slowing down the aging of the cultivator''s body and allowing them to live longer.


    Moreover, Yang Li felt that there was something hidden in his blood. After searching for a few times, he was unable to find anything.


    Yang Li no longer probed further. He took out a Yang Fire Pill and consumed it to stabilize his cultivation. Soon, his cultivation level had been completely stabilized.


    However, Yang Li did not continue to cultivate. Instead, he took out the last pill he bought, the Comprehension Pill.


    He wanted to use these three days to properly cultivate his spiritual arts.


    "Let''s first practice the Floating Light Flash first. After all, in a battle of the same level, a strong movement technique will have an extremely great advantage." Thinking of this, Yang Li immediately began to imitate the cultivation diagram floating in his mind, slowly cultivating.

 C28

    By the end of the first day, Yang Li''s Floating Light Shadow had already reached the second level. His speed was comparable to that of a Spiritual Movement Stage Middle Phase.


    A small circle of movement would leave behind an afterimage, which would be used to confuse the enemy.


    Yang Li thought for a moment and decided to temporarily stop cultivating his movement technique. He began to study the cultivation of the Heaven''s Circle.


    As for the Heaven''s Circle, it was a half-step magic technique after all. He had consumed pills to cultivate for two days, yet the Heaven''s Circle could not cover his entire body.


    Originally, the Spiritual Art could only protect the upper half of his body, but now, it could link with his head and cover it together. The duration reached 10 days.


    But this was still enough. The defensive strength of the Heaven''s Expanse Palace gave him a feeling that even if it was a first level Blood Tempering disciple, their full attack might not be able to directly break through his defense. If his cultivation level increased a bit, then his defensive strength would also become stronger.


    There were still two days until the Large Competition''s registration and entering the Beast Skin. He finally stabilized his cultivation and spirit arts, and then waited for the Large Competition registration.


    Time seemed to pass in a flash. In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. The registration for the Large Competition had begun.


    However, Yang Li was in no hurry to register. He took out the beast skin. He planned to think about registering after he came out of the beast skin.


    As the Spiritual Energy entered it, Yang Li suddenly disappeared from within the secret chamber and reappeared within the mysterious and ancient secret chamber.


    After entering the secret location, Yang Li took out the supine phoenix spear, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate.


    An unknown voice continued to echo in his mind as the Flame God Incantation slowly changed. The speed at which the spirit energy was circulating was beyond the imagination of an ordinary person. Yang Li''s cultivation rose rapidly.


    Middle stage of the ninth stage of Qi Accumulation!


    Late ninth level of Qi Accumulation!


    When Yang Li was about to break through to the Blood Tempering realm, he was unable to break through the barrier no matter what.


    Feeling this scene, Yang Li couldn''t help but panic, but he didn''t give up. He continued to diligently circulate his Flame God Incantation in an attempt to break through to the Blood Tempering stage.


    His hard work paid off. After an hour, the spirit energy that had been stored up for a long time suddenly exploded and forcefully broke through from the Qi Accumulating stage to the Blood Tempering stage.


    His cultivation rose in a straight line and only stopped when he reached the late stage of the first level of Blood Tempering Stage.


    The repulsive force of the Ancient Secret Grounds appeared once again, sending Yang Li away.


    Returning to the cultivation tower, Yang Li stabilized his cultivation at the first moment. As he expected, the Flame God Incantation made another breakthrough, and this time it had reached the peak Huang grade.


    The reserve of spiritual energy was even larger and its circulation was even faster. Threads of spiritual energy were gushing into the blood, uncovering an even greater amount of power.


    At this time, a strange cultivation technique and a memory suddenly appeared in Yang Li''s mind. Yang Li immediately began to look through the memory.


    "Hmm? Bloodline inheritance? "What is this?" Yang Li could not help but have some doubts, but he continued to read.


    "Host''s bloodline power requires the Blood Tempering Realm to activate. At the same time, it is extremely difficult to break through into the Blood Tempering Realm with the power of your bloodline. You need extremely strong willpower, perseverance, and hard work."


    "If I am unable to break through the Blood Tempering realm to become an evil being, then my bloodline will not be awakened again. At the same time, there will be restrictions. I will not be able to advance past the Spirit Realm for the rest of my life!"


    "The inheritance in one''s bloodline is to erupt with the power of the bloodline, temporarily raising one''s cultivation."


    "The awakening of the bloodline''s power can allow the host''s cultivation talent to be completely revealed. However, if the host turns evil, the bloodline''s power will gradually disappear and the host''s cultivation will disappear."


    "Not being evil doesn''t mean you need to be weak. If you are offended by someone else, you can kill them if they have the bloodline!" "No!"


    After flipping through the entire memory, Yang Li seemed to understand why his family had an ancestral piece of beast skin. He also seemed to understand why his parents had become honest farmers.


    Thinking of this, Yang Li began to look through the cultivation techniques that appeared in his mind.


    "Blood Explosion Technique: Using spirit energy to stimulate one''s bloodline''s power to erupt with a strong power. The lower the cultivation, the shorter the period of weakness. It can be used for up to three days, or at the very least one day. Use it cautiously in non-dangerous situations."


    After Yang Li finished reading the entire secret technique, he began to try to cultivate it. Because it was a secret technique brought about by the power of the bloodline, it was extremely easy for him to cultivate it.


    After successfully cultivating, Yang Li directly used it. Since the outer sect competition had begun, even if he was weakened, it still wouldn''t affect his participation in the competition.


    According to the instruction in the secret method, he used spirit energy to stimulate his blood vessels. A large amount of spirit energy suddenly emerged from his blood vessels, and his entire realm instantly soared from the first level of the Blood Tempering Stage to the fifth level of the Blood Tempering Stage.


    A surging aura gushed out. Yang Li wanted to test the duration of the secret technique before starting to practice his spear skills. He saw that the originally crimson red Spiritual Energy had turned into a demonic black color. Its power had greatly increased compared to before.


    Yang Li then thrust his spear towards the Cultivation Stone, and the black flames suddenly rushed towards the Cultivation Stone, continuously burning it. A layer of the Cultivation Stone was melted, and it slowly disappeared.


    On the other hand, the explosive spiritual energy of the Flame God Technique remained on the surface of the Cultivation Stone, but Yang Li didn''t rush to detonate it.


    After a quarter of an hour, his Qi started to slowly slip away from his body, and the Cultivation Stone was almost half melted by his Qi.


    "Explode!"


    With an angry shout, Yang Li ignited his spirit energy, causing the entire Cultivation Stone to explode. The room was filled with flying stone fragments.


    After he detonated the cultivation stone, an ear-piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the entire room. An Elder quickly rushed over after hearing this sound. In just a minute, he arrived at Yang Li''s cultivation chamber and pounded on the door.


    Hearing a knock on the door, Yang Li hurriedly opened the door to the secret room. An elder rushed in and quickly inspected the room before calming down.


    "What''s your name?" The Elder asked coldly.


    "Disciple Yang Li." Yang Li hurriedly replied.


    "You broke the Cultivation Stone?"


    "Yes, Elder, disciple accidentally broke it when I was cultivating."


    Hearing Yang Li say this, the Elder couldn''t help but size him up, his eyes extremely strange.


    It had to be known that the Cultivation Stones in the cultivation rooms of the outer sect disciples required the attack power of a seventh level of the Blood Tempering stage at the very least to cause any damage; the attack power of a ninth level of the Blood Tempering stage to be able to cause them to explode.


    However, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn''t see that this first level Blood Tempering disciple had been able to unleash an attack at the ninth level of the Blood Tempering Stage.


    Yang Li was somewhat scared by the elder''s gaze. He opened his mouth and asked, "Elder, do you want this disciple to compensate you with spirit stones?"


    Only after hearing his words did the elder come to his senses.


    "Oh, it''s fine, there''s no need for compensation. Just pay attention next time. Since you broke the Cultivation Stone and there''s no problem with the array formation, you should go back to another room and continue cultivating."


    Even though he said that, the elder''s eyes were still filled with disbelief.


    Yang Li didn''t think too much and turned to leave the room, but the moment he stepped out of the room, he almost fell over.


    A feeling of extreme weakness came from within his body, but he forced himself to stand and walked step by step towards the empty training room beside him.


    After entering the training room and closing the door, Yang Li collapsed onto the floor, his expression somewhat gloomy.


    "This period of weakness is a bit too exaggerated." Yang Li bitterly smiled.


    Afterwards, Yang Li forced himself to walk to the center of the cultivation room and sit on a cushion as he began to recover his spiritual energy. This was because of the awakening of his bloodline, as well as the evolution of the Flame God Incantation.


    The circulation of spiritual energy was almost twice as fast as before. Even so, it took a full hour for it to recover completely, and the feeling of weakness was also reduced.


    After his spirit energy was fully recovered, Yang Li didn''t get up in a hurry. Instead, he began to practice the Flame God Incantation.


    In the blink of an eye, a day passed.


    The next morning, Yang Li felt that his identity token was trembling. He took it out to take a look and saw a message coming from above.


    "Would you like to register for the outer sect competition?"


    "Yes!" Yang Li decisively replied.


    After the registration was over, Yang Li immediately left the cultivation tower and returned to his residence. He quietly sat in meditation, waiting for the outer sect competition to begin.


    At this time, the disciples that were originally training in the training towers all returned to their respective residences.


    Perhaps he could head to the Pill Hall, Trade Hall, and other halls in hopes of obtaining items that would help him advance further in the Large Competition.


    A nervous aura suffused the entire outer court.

 C29

    "All the outer sect disciples that are participating in the Large Competition should hurry to the outer sect competition grounds. Those that are not here by then should be deemed to have given up."


    A message was sent to Yang Li''s identity plate. After Yang Li saw this, he stood up and used his movement technique to hurry towards the martial arena. All of the disciples that he passed by quickly rushed towards the martial arena.


    Normally, it was rare to see a hundred disciples in front of the outer sect gate wearing disciple uniforms.


    Arriving at the outer sect competition grounds, they saw that the huge competition grounds were currently packed with people, and there were even ten huge arenas set up, and in the distance, there was a high platform with hundreds of seats set up. However, at this moment, there were only a few cultivators with powerful cultivations conversing on it, presumably to give the elders a place to sit.


    Soon, it was already time. No more disciples came in. The eight thousand outer sect disciples had all arrived. The entire martial arena was extremely lively.


    The seats on the high platform were almost full as well. A tall and sturdy man stood up.


    "All disciples, quiet!"


    A loud shout suddenly reached Yang Li''s ears, causing his ears to buzz. Yang Li shook his head, and looked towards the martial arena. He discovered that all the disciples were like this, and couldn''t help but feel a ripple in his heart.


    Seeing that the martial arts arena had quietened down, the burly man said: "I am the vice head of the Enforcement Hall, Yin Fang. I declare that the outer sect competition has officially begun!"


    "Next, all participants are requested to take out their identity tokens. Your participant numbers have been sent to your identity tokens."


    Yang Li took out his own token, which read: Group A: 197


    "Because the time of the Large Competition is of the essence, the rules have changed. Please listen carefully!"


    "The first round will be a chaotic battle. The eight thousand participating disciples will be divided into ten groups of eight hundred people each, and will enter the arena to participate in the chaotic battle. Only one hundred people will remain on the stage."


    "Every arena is equipped with an illusionary formation, the disciples killed in the illusions will all be directly sent out."


    "Now, please enter the ring according to the division given to you by your tokens!" When the disciples heard the order, they quickly followed their numbers and entered the arena.


    "The Large Competition begins! "Formation, activate!"


    Atop all the arenas, a vast amount of light flashed as a thick fog rose. In the air, ten screens appeared, with many Elders on the platform also raising their heads to take a look.


    The scenery of the Dense Fog Forest suddenly appeared in front of Yang Li''s eyes. At the same time, a pigeon egg-sized black soul bead appeared in his hand. Yang Li casually placed it into his spatial ring, took out his supine spear, and slowly walked through the forest.


    Not long after, he saw a disciple appear in front of him. Yang Li didn''t hesitate to attack with his spear, and before he could even react, the disciple had already been eliminated.


    "Can you let me see who killed me?" This disciple was extremely depressed, but when he came out, he discovered that there were already many eliminated disciples in the surroundings.


    As time passed, the disciples below the 9th level of the Qi Accumulation Stage had basically all been eliminated. There were still 2000 disciples in the arena, and all of them were at or above the 9th level of Qi Accumulation Stage.


    At this time, Yang Li saw a disciple with a blue character appear in front of him.


    The disciple was at the late stage of the second level of the Blood Tempering Stage. Seeing Yang Li''s late stage cultivation, his lips curled into a disdainful smile. His movement technique dodged Yang Li''s attack.


    He took out his weapon and cut down at Yang Li. Yang Li faintly smiled, without the least bit of defense.


    When that disciple saw this, the corners of his mouth became disdainful. But in the next second, he was startled. His saber directly passed through Yang Li''s neck without the slightest sensation of contact.


    "It''s an afterimage!" The disciple''s mind jolted and he suddenly felt a wind behind his back.


    However, he found out that he had passed through it again, and it was still just an afterimage.


    "Junior brother, good movement technique. My name is Yu Feng. May I know what your name is?" Yu Feng immediately submitted and asked.


    "Brother Yu Feng, how do you do? My name is Yang Li, but I can''t accept this competition." Yang Li said as he stood in front of Yu Feng, smiling.


    "Naturally. Junior, feel free to attack." Yu Feng said in a clear voice.


    "Then Junior Apprentice Brother, you''re welcome. Flame God Spear Art, Flame Dragon Soaring The Heavens!" Yang Li''s figure disappeared, and a roaring fire dragon rushed out from behind Yu Feng.


    "Come at me! Sand Blade Art, Sand Toss! " Yu Feng followed up with a horizontal slash to the back, and the two spirit arts canceled each other out.


    However, Yu Feng felt a chill on his neck, and his entire body left the arena.


    Yu Feng, who had appeared on the martial arena, was also extremely convinced. Yang Li''s movement technique had far surpassed his own. He was like an unfathomable ghost, it was hard to find him; it wasn''t a loss at all.


    However, he wasn''t in a hurry. Even if he was eliminated in the first round, he would still have the chance to challenge Yang Li again. With his strength, although he wouldn''t be able to defeat Yang Li, others wouldn''t have any problems.


    The Misty Cloud Forest in the illusion world was extremely quiet without the roars of wild beasts. After defeating Yu Feng, Yang Li thought for a moment before sitting down on the ground, waiting for someone else to come looking for him.


    Not long after, he felt a gust of wind come from behind him.


    "Floating Light Flash!"


    Yang Li disappeared from where he was. The disciple that had rushed over directly stabbed his sword through Yang Li''s head. He was stunned like the wind, but Yang Li did not give him any chance.


    This disciple only had a cultivation base of the ninth level of Qi Accumulation. Yang Li''s spiritual force was useless as a blur of light and shadow attacked from behind him, thrusting a spear through his body.


    Before the disciple died, he turned his head to look at the smiling Yang Li, and his figure disappeared.


    At this moment, a loud voice filled the entire mystic realm.


    "There are only a few hundred people left in Group A, the first round of Group A is over."


    The secret realm instantly transformed into a battle arena, with a hundred disciples within it.


    "Group A, second round. 100 people will be fighting in a free-for-all. If killed in the arena, they will immediately leave the arena, until only 30 people remain."


    This rule was even more cruel than the previous one. The ones below the Blood Tempering realm who luckily survived in the last round became the first ones to be eliminated.


    In just an hour, more than half of the people had been eliminated, leaving only forty people at least at the middle stage of the first level of the Blood Tempering Stage.


    Yang Li noticed that out of the remaining forty odd people, there were two golden, two purple, and a dozen blue-clothed disciples.


    In their eyes, the grey-clothed disciple had become the first disciple that they had to get rid of.


    One of the disciples lightly said, "According to the cultivation level, let''s eliminate those at the first stage of stage one middle stage."


    Immediately, the scene became chaotic once again, but the two disciples didn''t make a move. They only watched the fight between the two coldly.


    Although Yang Li had a late stage cultivation, it still wasn''t enough in the eyes of others. Thus, he became the target of attack.


    However, Yang Li had no desire to fight with them. He was too lazy to even attack them, and could only rely on the flashing lights to dodge them.


    When one of the golden characters disciple saw Yang Li, he frowned and was about to speak, but was stopped by another golden character disciple. "Trash is always trash, just rely on your movement techniques to dodge them. Someone will take care of him in the arena."


    After hearing this, the golden character disciple thought for a while, then stopped speaking.


    The battle quickly ended, and only a few grey-colored disciples remained, while the blue-purple and gold outer word disciples did not lose a single one.


    When the number dropped to 30, the illusion vanished and the mist on the stage dissipated.


    Group A''s arena ended the fastest. After all, in the previous batch''s top ten rankings, only six remained, while Group A took up two!


    In fact, there were even some disciples with blue characters. It was just that there were a bit less disciples with purple characters.


    Soon, the other arenas were over. The slowest was group C, and there were only six or seven blue-clothed disciples left. This was why it took so much time.


    At this time, the sky was about to darken.


    "Of the remaining three hundred disciples in the ten arenas, tomorrow will be the third round of the battle. The new participant number is already in your identity tokens. Tomorrow, we will go according to the new number. Do you understand?"


    Yin Fang''s voice spread throughout the entire martial arena, and after the top three hundred disciples heard this, they all agreed.


    "Very well, the first day of the Large Competition is over. Disciples, please go back."


    The competition of the first day had finally come to an end. After hearing the end of the competition, all the disciples started to walk out of the competition grounds, and endless discussions broke out.


    Yang Li walked in the crowd, pondering how much strength he would display tomorrow.


    "Yang Li!" A hard voice came to his ears.


    Yang Li was somewhat puzzled. He turned his head to look and discovered that it was Yu Feng. He couldn''t help but smile.


    "Why is senior apprentice-brother Yu Feng looking for me?"


    "Junior brother Yang Li, you really made it easy for me to find you. Junior brother, you should know that we blue ranked disciples rarely communicate with grey ranked disciples, so our circle of friends is very limited." Yu Feng laughed as he spoke.


    "Isn''t this the end of the first day of the Large Competition? We, the few friends who know each other, discussed and found some powerful Gray Character Disciples to drink and exchange our feelings. We can look out for each other in the future."


    People with different talent in different realms naturally rarely came into contact with each other. When Yu Feng and the others had invited the ''Gray Character disciple'', they had probably only chosen that disciple after comparing their strength and cultivation.


    Thinking of this, Yang Li smiled and said, "Senior-apprentice Brother Yu Feng, you''ve invited me so enthusiastically. If I don''t go, then won''t I be giving you face? I wonder when and where? "


    "The Eight Immortals Tower in the Misty City is still in your day. Junior Brother, you can come back when you''re still new."


    "Okay senior brother. I have some small matters to attend to right now, but I will be there by then. What do you think?"


    "No problem. Junior brother, if you have something to do, you go ahead and busy yourself first. Senior brother, I''ll go find someone else, but Junior brother Yang Li, you have to come. Otherwise, senior brother will really hold a grudge, haha." Yu Feng laughed heartily and left without saying anything else.


    Yang Li smiled at the departing back of Yu Feng. He turned around and walked in the direction of the Pill Palace, intending to purchase two qi replenishing pills to prepare for the battle tomorrow.

 C30

    Soon, it was ninetieth day. Yang Li left the Pill Hall and sped down the mountain. He wasn''t the sort to go back on his words. He would definitely do as he was promised.


    When Dai Yang arrived at Misty City, he suddenly discovered that he didn''t know where the Eight Immortals Tower was. This discovery left him at a loss whether to laugh or to cry.


    Yang Li had no choice but to brazenly ask the passersby. Only then did he find out where the Eight Immortals Tower was. He immediately used his movement technique and quickly rushed over.


    At this time, Yu Feng had already been waiting at the entrance of the Eight Immortal Tower. Seeing Yang Li walk over, he smiled and said, "Junior Brother, you go upstairs first. Senior Brother, you can pick up the two of them."


    "Alright. Senior apprentice-brother Yu Feng, then you''d better hurry up and come up. We''ll have a few drinks." Yang Li joked.


    "Just based on your words, we won''t leave unless we''re drunk today. We''ll let you know what a huge volume is! "Hahaha!" Yu Feng also replied jokingly.


    At this time, a disciple with the word ''gold'' suddenly appeared in front of Yang Li and mysteriously smiled at him.


    "Senior brother Meng Zhong!" When Yu Feng saw this person appear, he hurriedly greeted him.


    "Yu Feng, who is this person?" Meng Zhong pretended not to know Yang Li. His eyes were full of smiles.


    But from his eyes, Yang Li saw a sort of disdain and a faint killing intent. Yang Li''s mood instantly became tranquil, but he didn''t say anything.


    Yu Feng, however, didn''t notice the ridicule in Meng Zhong''s eyes and hurriedly said, "At this time, we have invited a few good friends here because Senior Brother Meng Zhong and his disciples left after the Large Competition. We are also looking for some friends in advance so we can look out for them in the future."


    "Alright, I understand. I''ll head up now. If there''s anything I can do with Junior Brother Yu Feng, then you can come find me in the Sky No. 1 Room." With that, Meng Zhong walked in.


    Yu Feng watched Meng Zhong leave and said to Yang Li with a grave expression, "Junior brother Yang Li, when you see Meng Zhong in the future, you must stay far away from him. This man is extremely sinister and fierce. He is a smiling, tiger-like figure."


    Hearing Yu Feng''s words, Yang Li''s mind stirred. "Junior brother understands, thank you senior brother."


    "Yes, junior brother, you go up first. I will wait here for a while in room number 5."


    "Okay senior brother, I''ll go up first." Yang Li replied, then turned around and walked up the stairs.


    After entering the fifth room, they saw that there were already several people inside. They seemed to be discussing when Yang Li had come in, and they didn''t avoid him.


    One of them smiled and said, "Junior brother, come quickly and take a seat. We are currently discussing tomorrow''s Large Competition. Junior brother, you should listen and see if it is useful."


    After Yang Li heard these few words, he immediately felt good impression of them. He was not modest and directly sat down. After all, these things were good for him.


    "Hello Junior Apprentice Brother. My name is Wang Xiao. What is Junior Apprentice Brother''s name?" The disciple who had previously asked Yang Li to sit down asked.


    "Hello, junior brother Yang Li and senior brother Wang Xiao." Yang Li replied with a smile.


    "Junior brother Yang Li''s name is a bit unfamiliar. I wonder if junior brother Yang Li has any understanding of last year''s top hundred sects?" Another disciple asked.


    "Junior has only been promoted to the outer sect this year and does not know much about the top hundred of the Large Competition. Senior, please discuss it among yourselves. Junior just needs to hear about it."


    Yang Li was extremely humble.


    As the several people heard Yang Li''s words, they were immediately shocked. They thought to themselves, ''In just a year, he has broken through to the first level of the Blood Tempering Stage. With such a genius, he will most likely be promoted to the inner sect in the next year.


    "Then please excuse yourself senior brothers, let me introduce you to them." With that, they resumed their discussion.


    Along the way, there were also many people who came in to listen in. Some people also joined in the discussion.


    At the end, when the few of them mentioned the top ten, all of their faces became a lot more serious.


    "Fellow junior brothers, the next few people that will be mentioned are all golden characters. Some people, if you meet them, remember to be careful."


    "First, the golden character disciple, Meng Zhong, is related to the direct disciple, Wan Sheng. I heard that he is a lackey of Wan Sheng, and he is sinister and vicious, but on the surface, he does appear to be smiling. If we meet him in the Large Competition, it would be best for us to just give up."


    "If you meet him while doing missions or other things, it''s not necessary. You must not come into contact with him, because you don''t know when he''ll ruthlessly stab you."


    "Meng Zhong is ranked fourth among the ''Gold'' disciples, but everyone should know that the first, second, third, and fifth place have all been promoted to the fourth level of the Blood Tempering realm." Meng Zhong is ranked fourth among the ''Gold'' disciples, but everyone should know that the first, second, third, and fifth place have all been promoted to the fourth level of the Blood Tempering Realm. So don''t provoke him, and just avoid him as much as you can! "


    When the surrounding disciples heard this, they nodded their heads, indicating that they remembered this. Yang Li also nodded his head; no wonder Meng Zhong''s eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at him.


    The second, is the seventh one from the last competition, Lin Lang. Although it is rumored that Lin Lang and Meng Zhong have a deep relationship, he is actually an extremely gentle person who can give way in a battle. As long as the opponent admits defeat, Lin Lang will immediately stop and have a good reputation in the sect.


    "Hmm? He had a deep relationship with Meng Zhong? Then I must be careful with this Lin Lang. He might even help Meng Zhong stab me. " Yang Li thought in his heart when he heard Wang Xiao''s introduction.


    "Therefore, if everyone meets these people in the arena tomorrow, you must be careful."


    Not long after, Wang Xiao finished introducing the ten outer sect disciples.


    Every time Wang Xiao finished talking about someone, everyone would nod thoughtfully. When he finally finished, everyone quieted down. It was unknown what they were thinking about.


    When Yu Feng saw that no one was present to speak, he felt somewhat embarrassed. He raised his glass and said, "Tomorrow is the Large Competition. Let''s have a good drink today and wish everyone good results tomorrow!"


    As he finished, he drank the wine in his cup in one gulp. When the surrounding people saw this, they all cheered in unison and raised their cups to toast.


    Yang Li did not dodge. After drinking more than ten cups, his entire body was dizzy.


    Yang Li did not know how long he drank, but he felt that as the people around him left one after another, they used their spirit energy to disperse the alcohol. With a clear gaze, he left.


    After saying goodbye to Yu Feng, Yang Li immediately used his movement technique and quickly flew towards the direction of the sect.


    He didn''t pay attention to who it was. After making a slight detour, he dashed towards the sect entrance. At this moment, a voice entered his ears.


    "Junior brother Yang Li, I look forward to meeting you tomorrow at the Large Competition. I hope that you can survive from my grasp. Then, I might be able to go against Wan Sheng''s orders."


    Yang Li suddenly stopped and turned around to see Meng Zhong.


    Although Meng Zhong''s words were filled with killing intent, he was still smiling. Seeing Yang Li turn back, his smile became even happier.


    "I also look forward to meeting you tomorrow. I hope that you can survive so that I may spare your life!" Yang Li said coldly.


    When Meng Zhong heard Yang Li''s words, the killing intent in the depths of his eyes intensified. However, his smile didn''t diminish in the slightest.


    "I hope so. Goodbye junior brother."


    "Humph!" Yang Li disdainfully snorted, turned around and flew back towards the sect.


    "I hope your skills are as good as your words!" Meng Zhong muttered to himself as he watched Yang Li''s departing figure.


    "Do you need my help?" A calm voice entered Meng Zhong''s ears.


    "No need, I can handle it myself." Meng Quan replied without even replying for an hour.


    The man snorted coldly and said angrily, "I''ve given you almost two months to complete Wan Sheng''s mission, but you haven''t even completed it yet!"


    "Why didn''t you just leave him behind!?" You should know that I am beside you, and even with his incredible abilities, he won''t be able to escape! "


    "Lin Lang, I don''t need you to point out what I''m going to do!" Scram! Don''t forget, you''re not as good as me! " Meng Zhong was furious as well. He didn''t hold back his words at all.


    "Alright, Meng Zhong. Remember what you said today. You''ll regret it!" Hearing Meng Zhong''s words, Lin Lang''s countenance turned extremely unsightly. He directly spat out a few words before turning around and leaving.


    Meng Zhong didn''t even look at him as he walked in another direction.


    But at this moment, Yang Li still returned to his residence. He finally understood why Meng Zhong wanted to kill him.


    However, he didn''t care. What he was more concerned about was the rewards for the outer sect competition. Today, he only stated the rules and not the rewards.


    Presumably, in order to stimulate the disciples'' competitive spirit, tomorrow''s elimination round would bring up the reward list.


    "I hope it will be of great help to me. Otherwise, I really have no interest in fighting for first place!" Yang Li muttered.


    Yang Li shook his head and no longer thought about it. He sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.


    Ever since his bloodline had awakened, he was filled with the motivation to cultivate. The rise in his talent and the gradual increase of his own strength gave him an extremely comfortable feeling.


    As for him, he had become even more confident and possessed an extraordinary temperament. Even his appearance had become a bit more handsome.

 C31

    Dawn always arrived extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, morning arrived.


    Yang Li''s identity token had sent out another message. When he opened his eyes, he discovered that it was a notification from the Large Competition.


    "All disciples that have participated in the competition, quickly head to the battling grounds. Those that have not arrived at the time are deemed to have given up!"


    Yang Li stood up and walked towards the martial stage. There were less people going to the martial stage today, and some of the disciples that were eliminated had already begun their closed doors cultivation.


    It was just a matter of time before they arrived. One of the people next to Yin He asked: "Are all three hundred disciples present?"


    When the person heard this, he closed his eyes and nodded.


    Yin Fang immediately stood up and said, "All three hundred participating disciples are present. Now, announce the competition method!"


    "Three hundred disciples are divided into ten groups, with thirty people in each group! The group battles one by one. The top 10 winners will be the top 100 in the Large Competition! That is to say, each of you will have to experience 29 battles! Does everyone understand! "


    "Understood!" The participating disciple replied in unison.


    "Alright, the new grouping information is in your tokens and should be sent to your own arena area without delay!" After a quarter of an hour, the Large Competition will officially begin! "


    "Yes sir!"


    The disciples in the arena all rushed to their respective arenas. Compared to yesterday, there were thousands more seats on the arenas, and the participating disciples also divided the arenas and fruits that contained spirit energy for the participating disciples to eat.


    Yin Fang had been standing the entire time, and after seeing that all of the disciples had basically arrived, he raised his voice and said, "The battle information has been distributed according to the number of each disciple, and is sent to each disciple''s identity plate. Please remember the battle information in your own identity plate, if you delay the match, if you do not participate, you will be directly eliminated!"


    "Every person has to fight ten matches every day. The contestants who win by zero every day will be directly eliminated from the competition!"


    After Yang Li heard this, he looked at his identity plate: Group D, Number 4, fourth match, against Group D, Number 27: Feng Yang. It''s a blue word disciple. "


    Group D''s strength was quite strong and there were several purple and gold word disciples, Lin Lang. As for the blue and grey word disciples, they were simply not within Yang Li''s consideration.


    Even to the extent that he only took a look at the ranking in the last competition and did not pay too much attention to it.


    His only opponent was Lin Lang.


    "Next, all of the disciples who have participated in the first round, get on the stage quickly. The Large Competition shall officially begin!"


    Following Yin Fang''s order, the participating disciples all displayed their movement techniques, some were like phantoms, some were leaping, and some were walking leisurely towards the arena. Immediately, the entire martial arena was filled with cheers.


    The first match of Group D was between a Purple Character disciple and a Gray Character disciple. The Gray Character disciple had conceded after sending out a few symbolic spirit techniques. There was a sudden hiss, but he didn''t seem to mind and directly left the stage.


    Seeing this scene, Yang Li''s evaluation of him was actually a little higher, because he knew that fighting forcefully against an opponent would only cause him to consume his spirit energy faster. He might as well save some spirit energy and use it to fight against an opponent that was on par with him and win over his ranking.


    The second battle was between two Gray Character Disciples, both at the second level of the Blood Tempering stage. They fought back and forth for hundreds of moves, and from time to time, intense spirit energy fluctuations would erupt from the arena.


    The third battle was between a Blue and Gray word disciple. The entire process of the Gray word disciple being suppressed was not worth watching at all.


    However, when the disciples below saw this competition, the discussion became even more heated.


    "Mo Xue was only ranked 67th last time right? But according to the strength that he has displayed, he is completely comparable to the purple word disciple! "


    "Moreover, this Mo Xue has advanced at an extremely fast speed. Last time, he was only at the early stage of the second level of the Blood Tempering Stage. Now, he is already at the middle stage of the third level."


    "That''s right, that''s right, and this is only a normal fight. He definitely has more cards up his sleeves, so he might even be able to compete with the golden word disciple this time."


    "Not only does he have a trump card, he also has a ''Purple'' disciple. Moreover, there are only ten spots for the ''Gold'' disciple. How could he be so easy to get his hands on? Just continue watching."


    As the disciples'' voices gradually weakened, the last trump card that erupted from the arena, the grey robed disciple, was easily broken through by Mo Xue. He was then blasted off the arena with a single strike, and the battle was completely over.


    Just then, Yang Li''s identity badge fluctuated, and a message came: "Group D, Number 4, Yang Li, against Group D, Number 27, Feng Yang, please quickly rush to the fighting arena to participate in the competition, if you are not there for a quarter of an hour, you will be deemed to have given up."


    After Yang Li felt the aura, he slowly walked up the arena. As for Feng Yang, he used his movement technique and floated up to the arena like a cool breeze.


    Seeing the way the two of them were going on stage, the disciples in the arena, who had originally wanted to take advantage of the match to see Feng Yang''s strength, shook their heads in disappointment.


    The contrast between the two was extremely clear. If all the disciples in the combat preparation area thought this way, then the disciples below didn''t think much of Yang Li.


    "I feel like this Yang Li is definitely going to lose. His manner of appearance is so terrible." A disciple said confidently.


    "I think so too. A gray disciple and a blue disciple. Not to mention that Feng Yang was ranked 58th in the previous competition. This competition is going to be a crushing victory again."


    "Don''t just look at the way they appeared. Their spirit energy levels are powerful enough. If a martial practitioner at the first level of the Blood Tempering Stage were to fight a martial practitioner at the third level of the Blood Tempering Stage, they would probably admit defeat."


    "That''s right, even rank 67 like Mo Xue is so strong. Even if Feng Yang''s improvement isn''t as big as his, but he must have improved. He might even be stronger than Mo Xue!"


    "The results haven''t come out yet and no one knows. What if this Yang Li is the dark horse? "I think it''s better to just watch. The name Yang Li was really popular a while ago."


    "I''ve heard about the matter you mentioned, but can a Qi Accumulating Realm battle be compared to a Blood Tempering Realm martial artist? It''s hard to even reach a single level higher in the Blood Tempering Realm, let alone two levels higher. "


    Yang Li didn''t mind the discussion he heard below, and Feng Yang was also very calm. He didn''t even look at Yang Li as he lowered his head to think about his own matters.


    Seeing the two people on stage, the referee announced, "The match begins!"


    Feng Yang lifted his head and lazily said, "Junior brother, should you admit defeat or should I beat you down?"


    "Senior''s words are a bit too much. We haven''t fought yet, how do you know that I will lose?" Yang Li smiled and replied to Feng Yang.


    Hearing Yang Li''s words, a hint of disdain flashed in Feng Yang''s eyes as he said: "Junior brother, you must be careful. Senior brother, if your attacks are too heavy, please take responsibility. However, bullying the little is not appropriate. Junior brother, you can make the first move."


    "Alright senior apprentice-brother, then junior apprentice-brother won''t be polite." When Yang Li heard Feng Yang''s words, his smile became even wider. Feng Yang''s first few words had been completely ignored by him. He had never thought that he would be defeated.


    As he finished speaking, Yang Li took out the supine phoenix spear and casually said, "Senior Apprentice Brother, be careful. Junior Apprentice Brother is about to make his move."


    "Okay okay, I understand. Junior, quickly help out." Although Feng Yang still had a lazy look, the spiritual energy in his body quietly revolved.


    Yang Li smiled faintly again as a blurry shadow appeared and appeared behind Feng Yang. The spear that contained a powerful Spiritual Energy pierced towards the center of Feng Yang''s back suddenly with a violent aura.


    Feeling the strength of Yang Li''s attack, Feng Yang was immediately shocked. He hurriedly formed a thick barrier, barely able to block this attack and was forced back several steps.


    Feng Yang squinted his eyes and held onto the sword hilt hanging on his waist. He said with a deep voice: "Junior brother has hidden it very deeply. Then, Senior brother, I will see your skills again!" Snow Wind Sword Technique, One Sword Soaked Winter Snow! "


    Feng Yang suddenly pulled out his sword, and the sword was filled with a biting cold aura, like winter, cold and bone-piercing. A ray of silver white light seemed to slowly chop towards Yang Li, and suddenly pierced through.


    The disciples below were in an uproar. Yang Li actually didn''t resist in the slightest and thought that Yang Li had been killed.


    "This fool, he actually wasn''t able to block it!" This is great, someone has died! " A disciple said with a sigh.


    "Wait, look behind Feng Yang!" A disciple with extremely good eyesight discovered Yang Li.


    "What Feng Yang''s spirit technique pierced through is his afterimage!" When the other disciple saw this, he was even more shocked.


    And it was exactly as they said. Feng Yang also felt it. What he pierced was only an afterimage. At that time, above him, there was a sudden feeling of danger. Feng Yang''s entire body quivered and he directly raised his sword without any hesitation.


    However, a roaring fire dragon, like a spirit that had been angered by a mortal, emerged from the front of his body with a tyrannical aura, ferociously smashing into his body.


    "Flame God Spear Art, Rising Flame Dragon!"


    Feng Yang felt the aura of Yang Li''s spirit technique and felt an irresistible sense of powerlessness, but he still didn''t give up.


    "Snow Wind Sword Technique, Sword Melting the Snow Wind!"


    Feng Yang immediately used his most powerful technique in an attempt to break through the attack. The sword flashed with a cold light, giving off a chilling aura. The chill shot out in all directions as if it wanted to freeze everything it saw and slowly welcome Yang Li''s attack.


    However, the results that followed left everyone astonished.


    Feng Yang''s spirit technique was swallowed up by Yang Li''s fire dragon. The remaining momentum did not decrease at all as it ruthlessly slammed into Feng Yang''s body. Feng Yang was sent flying several meters away and collapsed onto the ground.


    Yang Li''s figure followed closely behind, and just as Feng Yang landed on the ground, the spearhead of the crouching Phoenix Spear was pointed at his neck.


    Feng Yang felt the aura on the spear in front of him and bitterly smiled. He sighed and said: "I was arrogant and underestimated my junior brother. I admit defeat."


    Finished speaking, Feng Yang slowly closed his eyes and a desolate aura emanated from his body.


    This match made him sad. After bitterly cultivating for a year, he lost to someone whose cultivation level was two levels lower than his. This made him extremely unwilling, but he could do nothing about it.


    Hearing Feng Yang admit defeat, Yang Li put away his spear and turned his head to look at the referee. He calmly asked, "Elder, can you announce the result?"


    As the referee heard Yang Li''s words, he seemed to wake up from a dream and awkwardly nodded.


    Then he walked to the center of the arena and announced loudly: "Group D, late stage fourth level of the Blood Tempering Stage Yang Li against the late stage twenty-seven of the third level of the Blood Tempering Stage Yang Li. The winner is Yang Li!"


    This was a sign of the referee''s approval towards Yang Li, as well as the referee''s shock.


    Two levels above his cultivation level, yet he defeated his opponent in two moves. Moreover, he only used one technique! It was an instant kill!


    Below the arena, many disciples'' mouths were wide open. Their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. Everyone found it hard to believe, but the result was right there.


    Only after the referee elder announced the result did many people awaken from their stupor.


    Although this match was extremely intense, to the point where everyone had only used two moves, it was deeply engraved in their minds.


    This match was even more exciting than they had imagined!


    After Yang Li heard the results, he immediately turned around and walked down the arena, returning to the arena.


    However, he secretly thought to himself, "I originally thought that I could defeat him without using any spirit techniques. Now that I think about it, I think that the blue-clothed disciple was too underestimating him."


    "Forget it, let''s continue training." Yang Li closed his eyes and continued with his cultivation, completely ignoring the gazes and discussions of others.

 C32

    The matches continued, and soon, the day''s competition came to an end.


    Yang Li had fought ten matches as well, but they had all taken out the opponent in one move, causing the disciples below the stage to glance at him as the dark horse of this year''s Large Competition.


    Yin Fang cleared his throat and announced, "The first day of the tournament ends here! The judges will announce the results of each disciple in this arena! "


    "Ranking disciple result, Meng Zhong, ten wins!" "Li Yuanguang, ten victories against ten ¡­"


    "First arena disciple result, Wang Dao. Ten battles, ten victories!" Zi Yue, ten battles, ten victories ¡­ "


    "Ring C."


    "D arena disciple result, Lin Lang, ten wins, ten wins!" Song Jue won ten battles and ten victories! Yang Li, ten battles against ten victories ¡­ "


    Following the announcement of the Elders on the arena, the results of each arena also entered the ears of the disciples.


    This was because the ''Gold'' disciples were all spread out on the various arenas. The seeded participants that were loud amongst the ''Purple'' disciples were also allocated to the arenas where there were no ''Gold'' disciples.


    And when ordinary disciples encountered the golden and purple word disciples, they would basically directly admit defeat, or even, after a few moves, admit defeat. Thus, they basically all had ten victories, causing one to sigh in their heart.


    After the results were announced, Yin Fang continued to speak: "The first day''s battle has ended here. All disciples who had zero victories will be eliminated! You are not allowed to participate in the battle tomorrow! "


    "Once the top 100 are confirmed, the Losers'' Challenge will be set up! Any disciple who thinks they have the ability will be able to choose their own disciple to challenge! "


    "The Large Competition ends today! All disciples are to return! "


    With the last sound, Yin Fang flicked his sleeves and left.


    Yang Li also left the martial arts practice field. At this time, the disciples that were drinking with him yesterday all came to congratulate him. Yang Li also smiled in response to their greetings.


    On the other side, Meng Zhong and Lin Lang were conversing.


    "Lin Lang, what a coincidence. Yang Li is actually on the same stage as you." Meng Zhong said with a mocking smile.


    "Humph!" You don''t need to say anything about this! Just tell me the reason why you contacted me. " Lin Lang coldly replied to Meng Zhong.


    Hearing Lin Lang''s words, Meng Zhong chuckled and said, "Hehe, it''s nothing. I''m just reminding you to not forget the mission that Wan Sheng arranged for you."


    "You don''t need to remind me! If I meet him in the arena tomorrow, I will naturally cripple him! " When Lin Lang heard Meng Zhong''s words, he got angry and immediately cut off the connection.


    Meng Zhong''s face turned cold, "You don''t know what''s good for you!"


    "This trash, instead of killing him himself, he came over to remind me! Just you wait! " Lin Lang''s anger also became more and more intense. He directly sent a strand of his spiritual energy into the sky, venting his dissatisfaction.


    Some disciples felt the fluctuations of spirit energy and hastily rushed over. When Lin Lang heard the sound of wind breaking, his expression changed and he looked towards the direction of the sound with a kind smile.


    "Hello senior brother Lin Lang!" "I am Zhou Jing from the enforcement team. Senior brother Lin Lang, there was a strong wave of Spiritual Energy fluctuation just now. Senior brother, do you know why?" When the disciples who rushed over saw that it was Lin Lang, they respectfully greeted him and then asked.


    "It''s nothing. That Spiritual Energy fluctuation was sent out by me. It was a difficult problem with my cultivation just now. I was overjoyed and sent out a strand of Spiritual Energy towards the sky. I''m really sorry for causing trouble for your Law Enforcement Hall." Lin Lang said with a gentle smile.


    "It''s fine, it''s fine. Senior brother Lin Lang is too polite. Since there''s nothing going on here, I won''t disturb you any longer. Farewell, senior brother Lin Lang." After hearing Lin Lang''s words, the Law Enforcement disciple knew that nothing had happened and directly took his leave.


    "Okay, junior brother Zhou, take care." Lin Lang didn''t try to stop him. As he stared at the departing back view of Qin Wentian, his countenance gradually turned cold.


    "Humph, Yang Li, I pray that you do not meet me tomorrow. Otherwise, your Large Competition will come to an end!"


    Yang Li had returned to his room and was sitting cross-legged on his bed. The dense Spiritual Energy in his body was circulating happily, as if he was anticipating the arrival of the competition on the second day.


    The night passed in silence. As the identity token vibrated once more, Yang Li opened his eyes and walked towards the martial arena.


    Once again, it was the perfect timing, so Yin Fang did not say anything more, and only said one sentence: "Today, let the Large Competition begin! The opponents that each disciple will be assigned according to their respective tokens, step onto the stage to fight! "


    Yang Li looked at his identity plate: "Group D, participant number four Yang Li versus participant number nine, Lin Lang!"


    Yang Li was also a little surprised when he saw Lin Lang''s name. He also didn''t expect to meet an opponent like the seed so quickly, but according to the few people who had drunk wine the day before, this Lin Lang had a very good temper.


    Time passed. Soon, it was time for Yang Li to ascend the stage.


    "Next, let''s proceed with the fourth round!" Four Yang Li against nine Lin Lang! " Hearing the referee''s announcement, the audience burst into an uproar.


    "The big dark horse has met a golden disciple. This is going to be fun."


    "I wonder who will win. No one has ever been able to see through Yang Li''s strength. Every time he kills an opponent, it''s a one-shot. But this time he probably won''t be able to do it no matter what."


    "Yang Li might lose, but Lin Lang''s strength is even stronger than it appears on the surface!"


    "Come come come, it''s useless to say so much. Just open your mouth!" Yang Li against Lin Lang, odds: 1 to 10, 5 to 1! Senior Brother, if you want to bet, please bet as soon as possible. "


    It was obvious that some smart disciples directly opened their mouths. After hearing this disciple''s words, the disciples all began to place their bets, but the majority of them were betting on Lin Lang. Although the profit of five to one was a bit less, there was still some profit.


    There were only a few disciples that bet on Yang Li, and among them, there was even Feng Yu. When Yu Feng saw this betting rate, he frowned and thought for a moment before directly betting on Yang Li''s fifty spirit stones.


    Seeing Yu Feng place such a large bet, the disciple immediately laughed out loud. This way, they wouldn''t lose much, because most disciples would bet spirit stone slags, and only a few would use spirit stones.


    In this way, regardless of which side he won, he would still be able to earn some points.


    Yang Li naturally did not know about this, but if he did, then he would probably bet his life on this disciple and scare him out of the sect.


    After Yang Li got on the stage, he first bowed towards Lin Lang and said with a smile, "Senior brother Lin Lang, please show mercy."


    However, Lin Lang did not behave as he usually did. His gentleness disappeared, and he said in an extremely cold voice, "Junior brother is too courteous. My fists and feet have no eyes. If junior brother is injured, don''t blame me."


    Hearing Lin Lang''s words, Yang Li was stunned and his face became cold. At this time, he saw that Lin Lang''s gaze contained not only ridicule and disdain, but also a flash of killing intent.


    His vigilance increased and he coldly said: "Then I''ll have to ask senior brother to enlighten me."


    "Heavenly Sword Technique, One Sword Disintegrator!" When Lin Lang heard Yang Li''s words, he immediately attacked without the slightest hesitation.


    Lin Lang casually tossed the sword in his hand into the air, as streams of sword qi manifested and quickly dispersed throughout the entire stage. The sword intent he exuded was as cold as ice, and the sharpness of his aura was extremely terrifying.


    "Go!" Following Lin Lang''s command, the thousand swords rushed towards Yang Li at an extremely fast speed. The strong wind they created could even scratch a person''s face.


    "Flame God Spear Art, Divine Flame Masked the Heavens!" Yang Li also did not dare be careless. He directly sent out Divine Flame Mi Tian into the wind, burning with a powerful flame barrier. As the thousand long swords attacked him, they gradually faded before his eyes.


    As the last sword disappeared, Divine Flame Mi Tian also disappeared. Lin Lang''s attack had been perfectly blocked by Yang Li.


    The disciples in the audience were also surprised, but they didn''t seem surprised.


    Lin Lang''s voice was cold as he said, "Junior brother''s strength is not bad. However, Senior brother''s ability is not limited to this!" Heavenly Sword Secret Art, the sword formation is like a prison! "


    Longswords once again materialized from the swords that Lin Lang had thrown, forming a strange sword formation. It brought with it a pressuring aura as it pressured Yang Li. Sword light flashed within the formation, carrying with it a great destructive power.


    This move was also a range attack spirit technique. It seemed that Lin Lang also knew that Yang Li''s movement technique was extremely outstanding. He wanted to rely on a range attack to weaken Yang Li''s movement technique.


    "Since your attack came from the sky, then I will pierce through your sky! Fire God Spear Art, Fire Shattering the Sky! "


    The pitch-black flames once again appeared on the spear, and the suppressed aura was evenly matched with the sword formation in the sky. There was even a faint feeling of suppression.


    Lin Lang on the opposite side also sensed this. He knitted his brows and directly shouted: "Kill!"


    The sword formation in the sky suddenly suppressed down. Yang Li coldly smiled.


    "Fire!" I want to see how you will kill me! "


    As Yang Li thrust out his spear, the black flames began to crazily burn within the sword array with incredible power. Not long after, the sword array was completely burnt away, leaving behind only a weak light.


    Lin Lang''s sword was also repelled. Lin Lang was about to extend his hand to receive it when he heard Yang Li speak.


    "Senior brother Lin Lang, this move is not over yet! "Explode!"


    Suddenly, a burst of sound came from the sword. Lin Lang was extremely anxious as he hurriedly grabbed onto his own sword, wanting to help suppress this strange power.


    However, after he took it into his hands, the explosive sounds on the sword had stopped. The sword was filled with cracks, and the blades on both sides of the sword had also cracked apart. The sword gave off a feeling as if it would shatter if one were to touch it.


    Upon seeing the miserable state of the sword that he had accompanied for three years, Lin Lang was infuriated.


    "Yang Li, die!" Cloud Breaking Palm! " Unleashing his movement technique, Lin Lang furiously smacked his palm towards Yang Li.


    Yang Li''s mouth hooked into a mocking smile: "Lin Lang, could it be that you don''t know how fast my movement technique is?"


    Just as Yang Li finished speaking, Lin Lang''s palm neared and fiercely slapped Yang Li, but it only shattered an afterimage.


    Lin Lang did not hesitate and continued to run forward. Just as he left, an attack appeared in the place he was previously at.


    Yang Li laughed mockingly, "Senior brother Lin Lang is such a good technique. In order to show your respect for Senior brother Lin Lang and his technique, junior brother will use this technique! "Flame God Spear Art, Nirvana Flames!"


    Resplendent rays of light gathered at the tip of the spear, emitting an aura of destruction. As Yang Li thrust out his spear, the light instantly became dazzling, and even the disciples below couldn''t help but squint their eyes.


    "Boundless Deep Earth!" A wall made of mud suddenly appeared in front of Lin Lang, giving off a heavy and ancient feeling. It felt as if it had not fallen over for tens of thousands of years as it appeared in the entire arena.


    However, not falling for tens of thousands of years did not mean one could not pierce through!


    Although a portion of the Nirvana Flames had been erased, it still pierced through the wall and ruthlessly smashed onto Lin Lang''s chest. Following that, Lin Lang was blasted off the arena and violently landed on the ground.


    When the disciples below the stage saw this scene, they too were shocked.


    Yang Li had defeated Lin Lang! And it was extremely easy!


    No one dared question Yang Li''s strength this time. Everyone looked at him with reverence. This was the power brought about by his strength.


    "Elder, can this be considered as disciple''s victory?" Yang Li helplessly said as he looked at the once again dazed elder.


    "Hmm?" When the Elder heard this, he was stunned and hurriedly said, "Next, I shall announce the results of this match. Yang Li from the 4th against Lin Lang from the 9th place. The victor is Yang Li!"

 C33

    As the referee announced this, the disciples below the stage began to boil with excitement. Yang Li stood atop the stage, his figure engraved into the hearts of every disciple as if he were emitting light.


    However, the happiest ones were actually Yu Feng and several of his disciples who had won. With a 1: 10 ratio, Yu Feng had obtained 500 spirit stones. If he exchanged these spirit stones for cultivation resources, then he would have made a great deal of progress!


    Seeing Yang Li step down, Yu Feng excitedly walked over.


    "Yang Li, we made money!" Yu Feng said happily.


    "Hmm? What does Senior Brother mean by this? " Yang Li looked at Yu Feng with a puzzled expression.


    Yu Feng chuckled, "Hehe, Junior Brother, just now when you went up on stage and someone opened the stage, your odds were 1: 10. I, Senior Brother, had only bet a small amount of 50 spirit stones!"


    When Yang Li heard this, his eyes widened. 1: 10 odds! Just how little did he think of himself!


    At the same time, he felt extremely regretful. He still had several dozen Spirit Stones. If he bet them all, it would be considered a great pity.


    However, he was quite touched in his heart. After all, Yu Feng trusted him a lot. Other than some wealthy disciples, 50 spirit stones could be said to be his entire fortune for the outer sect disciples.


    Although they had only known each other for a few days, Yang Li could still feel that Yu Feng was truly candid and generous, and that he was a sincere and sincere person. Although he would occasionally flirt with some people, they would definitely be on good terms.


    "Then this is to congratulate Senior Brother on making such a huge profit!"


    "Junior Brother, what are you saying? You''re congratulating us both, hahahaha!" Don''t worry, Senior Brother will not take all of these Spirit Stones! "Half for each person!" Hearing Yang Li''s words, Yu Feng was slightly displeased as he solemnly vowed.


    No need. Senior apprentice-brother Yu Feng, this junior apprentice-brother doesn''t like to take advantage of others. " Yang Li immediately refused.


    However, when he said this, Yu Feng was thoroughly displeased. "Junior Brother Yang Li, this is my reward to you. How did you take advantage of me?"


    "Senior, junior apprentice-brother intends to directly enter the inner sect!" Therefore, I really don''t need these Spirit Stones. "


    "Senior Brother, why not give me some resources and break through to the fourth level of the Blood Tempering stage as soon as possible? Then, we''ll enter the inner sect together!" Yang Li said with a smile.


    When Yu Feng heard his words, he was also stunned for a moment. He gave him a deep look before saying, "This ¡­"


    Indeed, just as Yang Li had said, these spirit stones were nothing after entering the inner sect.


    Just one hundred spirit stones per month, and the outer sect only had one spirit stone, and the pills distributed by the inner sect were much better than the outer sect''s. At least, before the Spiritual Movement Stage, these pills would be enough for him to improve rapidly.


    Thinking of this, Yu Feng said, "Alright!" I will shamelessly accept it. If Junior needs any help in the future, feel free to ask! Senior Brother will do his best! "


    "Senior brother is too polite. However, if junior brother shamelessly asks for senior brother''s help in the future, you can''t pretend that you don''t know him." Yang Li joked.


    "How is that possible? Hahaha, alright, junior brother, continue with the competition. I''ll go to the Pill Hall and buy some pills for you. I still need to go up to the stage for tomorrow''s losers'' knockout matches."


    "Yes, I also need to recover my spiritual energy for the next battle."


    "Good, then I will leave first. Goodbye junior!"


    After Yang Li heard Yu Feng''s words, he smiled and nodded. He then sat down cross-legged and continued to cultivate.


    Every arena had more or less eliminated some disciples from yesterday''s elimination round. Yang Li''s group D had also been eliminated quite a bit, so the progress of the matches was extremely fast.


    As for Yang Li, who defeated Lin Lang, the competition was even easier. Basically, all of the disciples that went on stage admitted defeat.


    Lin Lang was easily defeated by him, so wouldn''t it be a joke if I were to take action now?


    Forget it, he might as well just admit defeat.


    Basically all of the disciples had the same thought, and even the purple word disciple had only taken the initiative to test the waters before hastily ending his defeat.


    It was the same for two days in a row. Thus, Yang Li entered the top one hundred with thirty victories in battle.


    The elimination round was over. Even the disciples who thought that their strength was enough to enter the top 100 had begun their challenge.


    After two days of the Losers'' Challenge Competition, quite a few disciples were challenged off the stage. Without a doubt, Yu Feng had entered the top 100.


    After that, the final ranking competition began!


    On the first day of the ranking tournament, Yin Fang first announced the rules of the tournament.


    "The ranking tournament rules state that the participants who maintain an undefeated record will be seeded contestants, and will not participate in battles in the earlier stages."


    "The other disciples will compete in groups. The winner will advance, and the loser will participate in the Losers'' Ranking Competition. The final ranking will be determined. The top 22 will enter the top 32!"


    "After the top 32, the seeded contestants will fight for the championship! Do the disciples here understand the rules! "


    "Understood!" Although the competition was unfair in principle, on the other hand, it was also to protect the other disciples and prevent them from being eliminated prematurely.


    At the same time, the ranking competition would also determine their final ranking.


    As the only victorious participant in Group D, Yang Li did not need to participate. Thus, in the last two days, Yang Li had not gone to the martial arts arena. Instead, he had gone to the cultivation tower to cultivate.


    Two days passed in the blink of an eye. After Yang Li and the other ten contestants were eliminated, the 22nd place contestants also came out.


    On the third day of the ranking tournament, news of Yang Li''s identity plate arrived: "Number four seeded contestant Yang Li, the top thirty-two contestant for the ranking tournament will begin today. Please hurry to the martial arena."


    The seeded participants'' notifications were all sent out by themselves, while the other disciples sent out messages in unison. This was the status and benefits brought about by one''s strength and talent.


    After Yang Li received the news, he did not hesitate and directly rushed to the martial arena.


    The top thirty-two in the morning will compete for the top sixteen in the morning, and the top sixteen in the afternoon will compete for the top eight. After the top eight corners are expelled, the defeated disciples can start their challenges again and each person will have two chances to challenge them! and decide who will get the ninth and tenth place! "


    "Tomorrow morning, the top ten disciples will engage in a round robin tournament. The final victor will be this year''s champion. The rules above, do the disciples understand!"


    "Understood." Although there were only thirty-two disciples, their auras still overshadowed those of all the other disciples. One could tell from their postures that these disciples were extraordinary.


    "The information of the top 32 matches, all participating disciples can view their identity tokens and find out that the matches have officially begun!"


    Yang Li glanced at the medallion and his eyes narrowed. This was because his first match was the fourth match of the previous tournament. This year, he was publicly acknowledged to have the highest chance of becoming the champion, Meng Zhong!


    "Next, all disciples that are participating in the first match, please enter the arena!"


    There were only eight arenas for the top thirty-two matches, so it only took two rounds to obtain the top eight.


    "Ring One, Meng Zhong against Yang Li!"


    "Ring Two, Feng Yue against Zi Yue!"


    "..."


    "Ring Eight, Wang Dao versus Song Jue!"


    Hearing the announcement, the disciples that didn''t participate in the battle went into an uproar. For a seeded participant to face a seeded participant, this was something that was impossible to happen in the past sessions!


    But this time, it actually happened! Yin Fang''s face also became unsightly, and asked with a cold voice, "What''s going on? Why did this happen!? "


    Cold sweat broke out on the elders beside Yin Fang as they quickly checked their identity tokens. After seeing the results, he felt a little helpless.


    He said with excitement, "Reporting to Vice Hall Master, the first match is decided according to the level of our cultivation and previous rankings. Number four seeded participant Yang Li, cultivation, late stage of the first level of the Blood Tempering stage, thus the first match will be Meng Zhong against Yang Li. It was our negligence."


    "You said Yang Li only has the cultivation of a late stage Blood Tempering martial artist?" When Yin Fang heard this, his eyes lit up.


    "Yes, Vice Hall Master."


    "Alright, let''s drop this matter. You should go and send me all of Yang Li''s battle information now."


    "Understood!" Hearing this, the elder heaved a sigh of relief. He passed down a few orders, passing Yang Li''s information of the match to Yin Fang''s identity plate.


    Yang Li currently did not know of any of this. He only knew that this was most likely a fierce battle. With Meng Zhong''s character, the strength he was displaying was absolutely not what it seemed on the surface.


    However, Yang Li was not afraid because he had his own trump card.


    After Yang Li stepped onstage, Meng Zhong''s eyes narrowed and he said in a seemingly gentle voice, "Junior brother Yang Li, how are you? Your name is something I have heard for a long time."


    "Senior brother Meng Zhong is too modest. How could junior brother possibly dare to compare with senior brother?" Yang Li heard the hidden killing intent in Meng Zhong''s voice and sneered.


    "Junior brother Yang Li, to think that a Qi level 8 could kill Yue Long at the first level of the Blood Tempering stage and defeat Lin Lang at the third level of the Blood Tempering stage. Senior brother is extremely impressed!" The killing intent in Meng Zhong''s voice grew stronger and stronger.


    "I am also at the third level of the Blood Tempering stage like Lin Lang. I wonder if junior brother can defeat me again? Let senior brother give it a try! "


    "Then I shall wait and see. You will definitely lose happily!" Yang Li coldly replied. He finally knew why his cultivation of the first level of Blood Tempering Stage had been chosen by Wan Sheng. It was all because of Meng Zhong!


    "Junior is ready!" "Spiritual Xiao Art, a melody that moves the hearts of people!" Meng Zhong then took it out and played it on his lips. The sound waves created an enchanting fragrance, causing Yang Li''s consciousness to gradually enter a trance. His eyes gradually closed.


    "Li''er, wake up quickly, we''re going to register at the Sky Mist Sect today, haven''t you always wanted to cultivate?" Yang Yue''s gentle voice rang out, carrying with it all the love that fathers had, fiercely shaking the strings of Yang Li''s heart.


    "Yes, our Li''er will be a cultivator in the future. He''s going to bring glory to his ancestors." Yang Li''s mother''s voice also rang out.


    "Did I just have a dream? What beast skins? What kind of beast skins? Yang Li thought as he opened his eyes.


    But when he opened his eyes and saw his parents'' Yang Li, he couldn''t help but tear up.


    Wisps of white hair appeared on his parents'' heads. They wore a loving smile on their faces as they gently looked at Yang Li. Their eyes were filled with the care and anticipation their parents had for their son.


    Yang Li no longer thought about whether he had a dream. Instead, he sobbed as he spoke.


    "Dad, mom, your son is unfilial. I can''t serve my parents in the family anymore. Please take care of yourself. When your child reaches the Dao, you will definitely find a Spirit Elixir to extend your parents'' longevity!"


    "Please don''t blame me, Father and Mother."


    "Foolish child, how could father and mother blame you? If you want to cultivate in the Dao, if you want to become a great figure, we can''t be happy even if we did." Yang Yue''s voice carried an indescribable smile, as if he was somewhat sentimental.


    "Li''er, after you go cultivate, don''t eat too much or drink too little. Don''t come back skinny. We''ll have to be distressed. There''s still time. Remember to come back and visit Mom and Dad." Xue Li''s voice slowly became choked with sobs.


    "Son''s mother, what are you crying for? Li''er cultivating the Dao was a good thing! Great news! Brilliant! Look at you, sigh. " Yang Yue was still blaming Li Xue when he first started, but his voice also began to choke.


    Seeing this, Yang Li''s tears uncontrollably gushed out, gradually blurring his vision.


    At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of danger.

 C34

    Xiao was like a sword that pierced towards his chest, but it was blocked by the heaven and earth. The illusions were also shattered, and Yang Li slowly opened his eyes.


    "Meng Zhong!" Looking at the flabbergasted Meng Zhong, Yang Li''s heart was suddenly filled with endless anger. At the same time, his heart was filled with regret and sadness.


    Meng Zhong had used illusions to let him enter the illusion world, to recreate the scene of him cultivating his Dao. Meng Zhong had also used illusions to let him enter the illusion world, to recreate the scene of him cultivating his Dao.


    The defensive array formation around Yang Li''s chest completely shattered.


    Meng Zhong was also extremely vexed. Originally, he had seen Yang Li fall into an illusion and thought he could easily kill him.


    But he never imagined that Yang Li''s chest actually had a defensive array formation!


    "Meng Zhong!" Go to hell! "Flame God Spear Art, Nirvana Flames!" The angry Yang Li took out his crouching phoenix spear and directly thrust it towards Meng Zhong.


    As if it knew of Yang Li''s anger, the recumbent Phoenix Spear erupted with even more intense fluctuations than before! Flames rose as the spirit art was abruptly unleashed. With an inexhaustible rage, it fiercely rushed towards Meng Zhong.


    However, Meng Zhong laughed sinisterly, "I also know how to use Light-Blink Illusion."


    The Nirvana Flames had broken through Meng Zhong''s afterimage, but it did not harm him at all.


    What followed was the violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations coming from Yang Li''s back.


    "Spiritual Sorcery Art, worth 10,000 soldiers in one fell swoop!"


    Meng Zhong held the sword in his hand, and it was like a long sword that reflected the dazzling sunlight. A faint sword image pierced towards Yang Li, carrying the aura of thousands of soldiers and horses.


    When he was about to hit Yang Li, he quickly moved to his left.


    "Flame God Spear Art, Divine Flame Masked the Heavens!" Yang Li, who had appeared to the left of Meng Zhong, immediately used Divine Flames that covered the skies. It was as if he was trying to burn the walls of flame that blocked Meng Zhong''s spirit art.


    The two spirit arts counteracted each other as their momentum gradually dissipated, leaving only the longspear and Xiao Yan holding onto each other.


    The two drew their weapons at the same time and began to fight again.


    "Flame God Spear Art, Rising Flame Dragon!" Roaring fire dragons charged out with the fury of Yang Li. The flames around their bodies were even more ferocious than usual, bringing with them an irresistible force.


    "[Spiritual Sorcery Art], a song to startle a hundred birds!" Meng Zhong began to play the song rapidly. The sound waves that he emitted carried a powerful killing intent as they turned into sabers and swords that collided with Yang Li''s attack.


    "Junior brother Yang Li''s strength has truly surpassed my imagination." Once again, the two''s Spiritual Arts were canceled out.


    "Give it a try. I have just learned this move, I hope that you can withstand it!" "Spiritual Xiao Art, a song that will shock the world!" Meng Zhong played even faster.


    The sound wave spread out, and an extremely oppressive aura simultaneously spread out from the sky and the ground. At the same time, a heavy pressure pressed down on Yang Li, as if trying to squeeze him into a meat patty.


    The blood flowing in his body became even more urgent. A feeling of unwillingness came from the depths of Yang Li''s blood stream to his mind.


    "This feels pretty good, Junior Brother Yang Li, but it''s not over yet!" "Just wait a little longer. When the blood is flowing in reverse, you''ll feel even more comfortable!" Meng Zhong''s murderous voice entered Yang Li''s ears.


    "This next move is also my trump card. Even someone at the sixth level of the Blood Tempering stage might not be able to withstand it. If you can withstand it, then I admit defeat!"


    "Soul Nourishment Formula, Chang Xiao Plains the World!"


    The Xiao Feng in Meng Zhong''s hand directly turned into a long sword, emitting intense Spiritual Energy fluctuations. An imposing manner that wanted to pierce through the heavens gradually became more pressing as the Spiritual Energy became denser.


    "Floating Light Flash!"


    Meng Zhong rushed to Yang Li''s side, fiercely stabbing towards his chest. If it weren''t for the Large Competition, he would have already stabbed Yang Li''s head and neck!


    "Is this your last trump card?" Then kneel down! "Blood Explosion!" Yang Li was no longer able to suppress the throbbing in his blood. As the Blood Explosion Technique was unleashed, his cultivation increased bit by bit. In the blink of an eye, he had reached the middle of the fifth level of the Blood Tempering stage.


    Yang Li''s lips curled up into a cruel smile, "Meng Zhong, you''re not the only one who has a trump card! Fire God Spear Art, Flame Shattering the Heavens! "


    The black flames burned fiercely, bringing with it an unyielding aura, as if it was going to burn everything it saw. The oppressive aura from the sky and the earth immediately broke apart.


    "Flame God Spear Art, Nirvana Flames!" Even the sun''s rays were blocked by even more condensed rays of light. The disciples below the stage could only see a fiery red light that brought with it an aura that could destroy everything. It destroyed Meng Zhong''s spirit technique.


    It smashed into Meng Zhong''s body, sending him flying. However, a blue light shone around his body, protecting him like a water screen.


    Then, Yang Li muttered, "With a Soul Treasure protecting him, is he not injured? Then, explode!"


    With a ''bang'', the blue light around Meng Zhong exploded, and at the same time, Meng Zhong howled miserably.


    Ah!" Yang Li, if I don''t die, I will definitely kill you!


    "Hur hur, you should be able to survive first!" After he finished speaking, Yang Li immediately used a Floating Light Flash to catch up to Meng Zhong and kill him.


    "You can''t!" The startled referee elder recovered from his shock and let out a loud roar. His body moved and blocked Yang Li''s path. The aura of a Spirit Realm expert exploded out and used a spirit technique to trap Yang Li in place.


    "Why!? He threatened to kill me! Why can''t I kill him! " Yang Li was furious.


    "But this is the outer sect competition!" The referee reminded.


    However, he also felt that it was reasonable for Yang Li to be angry enough to want to chase after him. Thus, he secretly transmitted his voice to Yang Li, "After the outer sect competition, no one can stop you if you wish to kill him!"


    At the same time, Yang Li''s identity token vibrated, but the furious Yang Li didn''t pay it any heed.


    However, Yang Li didn''t even hear the elder''s words. After a quarter-hour, Yang Li''s aura began to slowly decline, and his entire body calmed down.


    Yang Li looked at the distinct black and white body of Meng Zhong and snorted disdainfully. He turned his head toward the referee and coldly said, "You can release me and announce your victory."


    When the referee saw Yang Li calm down, his killing intent lessened. He let out a breath of relief and announced, "Ring One, the match is over. Meng Zhong against Yang Li, Yang Li wins!"


    However, no one from the audience said anything. The scene was extremely awkward.


    In the preparation area, Wang Dao and the others who had placed in the top ten of the previous tournament had naturally already finished their battles and were looking at Arena One.


    After the referee announced the end of the battle, Wang Dao slowly closed his eyes and said, "I am inferior to them. In this year''s Large Competition, I will only be third."


    When the others heard this, they remained silent without uttering a single word.


    Yang Li did not care about the silence at the moment either, directly walking down from the stage and returning to the preparation area.


    As Yang Li walked back to the arena, the entire arena erupted into applause. All of the outer sect disciples looked at Yang Li''s figure with either admiration or admiration.


    The first round of the competition had officially ended.


    The battle between Yang Li and Meng Zhong could be considered the most brilliant battle of the entire competition. No matter how fierce the matches were, in the eyes of the audience, they were boring and there were very few applause.


    The aftermath of Yang Li''s use of the Blood Explosion Technique had appeared, and he was extremely weak. He could only rely on meditating to maintain his condition, and furthermore, Yang Li had a faint feeling that his weakness this time would last for more than a day.


    As time passed, the curtain fell on the competition for the top 16. In the afternoon, they would fight for the top 8.


    Yang Li was the first to enter the stage. Because he was weak, he was unable to stand properly.


    The person he was fighting was an unknown disciple with purple words. After seeing Yang Li''s condition, he hesitated for a moment before finally speaking in a serious tone.


    "I don''t think I can beat you. Even if you are weak, a camel is still bigger than a horse, so I choose to give up."


    When the day''s competition was over, everyone returned to their own residences, discussing the matter as they walked.


    As for the topic of discussion, 99% of it was Yang Li.


    Everyone had to fight ten rounds, and the first match was between Yang Li and Zi Yue. Although Zi Yue had lost to Feng Yue, her formidable strength had allowed her to obtain the tenth place.


    However, Zi Yue admitted defeat as soon as she got on the stage. She said, "I am convinced by your strength, even though it is not right for a powerhouse to be defeated without fighting, I admire you. Although you are not in a good condition right now, if you become the champion, we will all be convinced.


    Yang Li couldn''t help but laugh, but he sincerely said: "Thank you for your acknowledgement."


    Zi Yue smiled sweetly. "When you recover, come and fight with us again."


    The competition that followed was the same as well. Yang Li became the only champion in the entire outer sect''s history, relying on his own strength to convince others.


    However, none of the disciples complained. When Lin Lang met Yang Li once again, he had an extremely complicated expression on his face as he chose to admit defeat.


    Before Wang Dao admitted defeat, he took a deep breath and said to Yang Li, "Yang Li, if you are in good condition, then I will absolutely have a good fight with you. I, Wang Dao, have never given in to anyone before. But now, there''s one more you!"


    "Wang Dao, if you refuse to accept this, wait for me to recover. I will beat you until you are convinced!" Yang Li joked.


    "Alright!" I''ll wait! " Hearing Yang Li''s words, Wang Dao also laughed heartily.


    The Large Competition officially ended. Yin Fang began to announce the rewards for this competition.


    "The reward of the outer sect competition is announced now. The first one hundred rewards will be obtained from the Pill Hall by relying on their identity tokens!" The rewards for the first thirty disciples will be received here! "


    "From the 31st to the 100th place, there will be three Double Sun Pills, fifty Spirit Stones, and a selection of any martial art below the middle stage of the Xuan realm. At the same time, a disciple will be given a blue colored outer word uniform!"


    "From the eleventh to the thirtieth place, there will be one Comprehension Pill, five Double Sun Pills, one hundred Spirit Stones. Any martial arts below the High Xuan realm will be given one. At the same time, disciples will be given a purple robe!" Next, please get the top thirty disciples to come up to receive it! "


    The twenty disciples went up on stage one by one. With a wave of Yin FangXiu''s robe, several elders walked onto the stage and handed over the various resources to them with smiles on their faces.


    The disciples that received the prizes were also extremely excited. After the award ceremony was completed, they directly left the stage with joy. Some of the disciples who could not wait any longer even changed into purple disciple uniforms.


    "Second place to tenth place, and one pill for the second level, Small Destruction Pill!" Three Comprehension Pills, three Flowing Light Pills! Two hundred spirit stones! He could choose any martial art below the middle grade of the Xuan level! at the same time, they would be bestowed with a gold-colored outer disciple uniform! "


    Compared to the excitement of the Purple Character disciple, the Golden Character disciple''s expression was very calm. With a different frame of mind and status, his performance when facing the reward was also different. After receiving the reward, several disciples hurriedly left the stage.


    The subsequent announcement of the champion''s prize made everyone envious.


    "This year''s champion''s prize!" A grade three medicinal pill, a small realm medicinal pill at the Blood Tempering Stage! ''Small breakthrough pill! '' Five Comprehension Pills! Ten Flowing Light Pills! Five hundred spirit stones! At the same time, regardless of whether your cultivation is directly promoted to the inner sect or not! "


    Yang Li went onstage. He thought that Yin Fang would be the one to give him the award, to emphasize the importance he placed on him. But he never imagined that the winner would actually be someone else!

 C35

    Yang Li stood still in the stands, waiting for the award ceremony. He saw a person floating down from the stands, clad in a white dress.


    Her figure was extremely beautiful. When she landed in front of Yang Li, he was stunned to discover that it was Su Wanqing!


    "I''ll explain it, the Small Realm Pill rewarded by the champion was just delivered. It was personally concocted by the late Qing. At the same time, in addition to the pills, I''ll also announce the matter regarding the secret realm." Yin Fang cleared his throat and said.


    However, only the female disciples and a few male disciples were listening. The rest of the male disciples were staring at Su Wan Qing.


    In his heart, he loathed Yang Li greatly. Even Wang Dao couldn''t help but say, "If I knew that it would be Su Wanqing''s champion prize, I would have killed him no matter what!"


    The other male disciples in the top 10 also had similar expressions. This was a proof of Su Wan Qing''s exceptional appearance.


    Su Wan Qing''s face was calm as she landed in front of Yang Li. However, the moment she landed in front of Yang Li, she smiled mischievously.


    Yang Li suddenly felt like the wind was blowing. The world seemed to have lost its color in front of Su Wanqing''s smile. Su Wanqing smiled and whispered into his ear, "Junior Brother, this business of yours is worth it. The King of the Nether Wolf''s Core has returned to your hands."


    Su Wan Qing''s voice was as sweet as a spring. With her smile that could shake the world, even Yang Li was stunned.


    Looking at Yang Li''s stunned expression, Su Wan Qing was both angry and amused. However, her face was still calm. She secretly transmitted to herself, "You little junior brother, why aren''t you accepting the reward yet? Don''t you plan on taking it?"


    Only then did Yang Li react, he awkwardly smiled, and extended his hand to receive the championship prize.


    The Elders in the high stand naturally saw Su Wanqing''s smile and some of them even heard her voice transmission.


    The few elders were extremely surprised. Su Wanqing actually knew the first place winner of the Large Competition? How could they be related with such a huge difference in their cultivation realms?


    They were also confused, but Yin Fang''s expression was even more interesting. They wanted to laugh, but they couldn''t. Even their faces were a little red. Perhaps it was because he was too dark, but none of the elders could see it.


    Yin Fang thought to himself, "It looks like Su Wan Qing is curious about this Yang Li. If the Sect Leader finds out about this, perhaps the Sect Leader will fly into a rage!" It would be interesting to think of that scene! "Haha."


    After Yang Li received the championship prize, Su Wan Qing walked to the side. Yin Fang cleared his throat and once again spoke in a deep voice, "This year''s top ten will go up on stage! What''s next has to do with you! "


    When Wang Dao and the rest heard his words, they stood still on the stage and looked at Su Wan Qing.


    Su Wan Qing didn''t mind. She just stood there calmly.


    Seeing that the top ten disciples had gone up on stage, Su Wan Qing looked at Yin Fang, who nodded.


    Su Wan Qing then continued, "Next, I will pass on the message from the Sect Leader that the top ten disciples will enter the secret realm. Originally, we will send ten direct disciples to form ten groups. Each group will have three top disciples, five inner disciples, and three outer disciples."


    "However, the current situation has changed. The secret realm can''t handle too many people entering, so after discussing it, we decided to send five direct disciples, five top disciples, ten top disciples, and thirty top disciples to each sect."


    Su Wan Qing explained the situation, then turned to Yang Li and the rest, "Do you understand?"


    "Understood!" The ten of them replied in unison.


    "Good, this exploration of the Secret Realm Scripture is not too dangerous. The only people who need to be careful are the disciples of other sects. However, the disciples of the other sects are about the same as the disciples sent by our sect."


    "So, all of you don''t need to worry too much. I''ll give you two three days to rest and then you can head to the Law Enforcement Hall to report three days later. At that time, all disciples will be waiting there. Do you understand?"


    "Understood!" The expressions of the ten people didn''t change, but they were muttering in their hearts.


    Yang Li didn''t think too much about it. He continued to stare at Su Wanqing, not concealing his admiration or love for her. However, there was no trace of lust in his eyes.


    Looking at Yang Li''s gaze, Su Wan Qing''s heart skipped a beat. She said, "If you can''t break through to the second layer in the next two days, it would be best not to take the Small Stage Pill. That would be too much of a waste."


    Yang Li nodded after hearing that. "Understood, Senior Sister."


    Hearing Yang Li''s reply, Su Wan Qing left. Yin Fang then spoke up, "Yang Li, you can go to the inner sect now and apply to enter the inner sect or wait for the secret realm to come back and enter. It will be up to you."


    "I declare the outer sect competition officially over!" Disciples, you can now leave and begin your cultivation, I look forward to your amazing performance next year! "


    "Yes sir!" The eight thousand outer sect disciples answered loudly. The loud sound waves seemed to be able to shake a person''s ears.


    As the elders left the grandstands, the disciples also left one after another.


    Yang Li walked as he looked through the small Cosmic Bag. It had to be said that for the top ten disciples of the outer sect competition, the sect was quite willing to part with one small Cosmic Bag. Although it was not as good as a spatial ring, it still had one or two sides of space, enough for cultivation resources and daily necessities.


    "Flowing Light Pill, a second rank cultivation aid pill. It can increase the circulation speed of spiritual energy by 1.5 times, enhance one''s spiritual force sensing, and increase one''s rate of absorption of spiritual energy."


    "Lesser Heaven Breaking Pill, tier two medicinal pill. You can use it to increase the level of your cultivation. You can only use it once."


    "Small Stage Pill, Tier 3 pill. For those below the Spiritual Movement Stage, it can only be used once."


    He could use a Spirit Channeling grade pill. Although it could be considered a high tier level 4 pill, in reality, there were some level 5 pills that were worth less than it.


    Although there was only a difference of one level in the realm of use, the difficulty of refining it was more than doubled. Even ten attempts might not be enough to succeed once.


    After inspecting the rewards given by the sect, Yang Li threw the Qiankun bag into his spatial ring and quickly rushed back to the Scripture Pavilion.


    He had no idea what he would encounter during his trip to the Secret Realm. He decided to go to the Scripture Pavilion to choose a martial art book. In these three days, he could only rely on the enlightenment pill to learn another martial art book to increase his strength more quickly.


    "..."


    Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Yang Li arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall''s entrance as promised, and the other disciples were already waiting there. When they saw Yang Li look at them with goodwill in his eyes, they smiled and greeted him.


    Yang Li also responded with a smile as they greeted each other.


    "Looks like all of you are in good shape. Let''s go, the Sect Leader is waiting for us. He will personally lead us there." A melodious voice rang out, interrupting their conversation.


    Only then did they realize that it was already time for Su Wanqing to arrive.


    "Yes sir!" "Yes!" Su Xiaoxiao and the others acknowledged him as they followed Su Xiaqing into the inner part of the sect.


    Not long after, they met the Sect Leader as well as dozens of other disciples. Yang Li saw Sect Leader Bu Yuntian for the first time and couldn''t help but size him up.


    Bu Yuntian looked to be around thirty to forty years old, but in reality, he had already cultivated for more than a hundred years. Although Bu Yuntian looked to be around thirty to forty years old, in reality, he had already cultivated for more than a hundred years.


    Seeing the several people coming over, Bu Yuntian had a kind smile on his face, "It seems like this is the champion of our outer sect competition."


    "We pay our respects to the Sect Leader!" The few of them spoke out in unison as they performed a disciple''s salute.


    "There is no need to be so polite, cultivators. Since everyone is already here, I will simply introduce this year''s secret plane to you all." Bu Yuntian waved his hand.


    "The reason this trip to the Secret Realm is for the top ten disciples of the Inner and Outer Sects to go there is to increase your experience and enrich your knowledge."


    "Because this time you will be going with the other sects, you will have to be extremely careful and not be careless. In addition, you will be assigned to enter the secret realm."


    "The Secret Realm is the Flowing Fire Secret Realm. We are not too sure about the specifics of what is inside, but after the Fire Martial School discovered it, they informed our various large sects about it, and they also distributed their forces according to how much they had contributed. Aside from the Fire Martial School, the Flaming Wind Sect, and 40 other sects, all of them have 30 people."


    "In order to make it easier for all of you to help each other and take care of each other after you enter, I will arrange for you to be grouped into five groups. All of the disciples will be divided into five groups.


    "Su Wanqing, Murin, Lu Chengyun, Wei Hongtao, Yang Li, Zi Yue, the six of you will be the first group!"


    "Wan Sheng, Sun Yushu, Rui Tianhua, Kou Ning, Wang Dao, Feng Yue, the six of you will be the second group!"


    "Sikong An ¡­"


    "Gu Yuan ¡­"


    "Cloud Words ¡­"


    One by one, the disciples stood up according to Bu Yuntian''s division.


    "Right now, all disciples should leave a sound transmission imprint with each other so that they can assist each other when they encounter danger."


    "Understood!"

 C36

    As all the disciples boarded the ship, Bu Yuntian said, "The Secret Realm of the Flowing Fire is on the other side of the Southern Flame Region, which is quite far from our sect. With the speed of my Moon Wind Boat, it will take about half a day."


    "Understood."


    The numerous disciples who had been looking around curiously all entered the room on the ship. Yang Li was no exception.


    After Yang Li entered the cabin, he began to study the new martial arts he had chosen. A dark class cultivation method was slightly more difficult than a light class cultivation method.


    Illusory Fire Spirit Palm, a middle grade Profound Rank martial art. It was attached spirit energy to the palm of the hand and could confuse the opponent''s perception. It could also unleash a powerful attack at the opponent and was divided into three stages.


    The first realm, when attacking it, it would emit a hallucinating aura, causing the enemy''s mind to enter a state of trance, allowing them to launch surprise attacks.


    The second realm allowed the enemy to enter into illusions when attacking. It had the ability to attack the soul, and only those with strong willpower would be able to escape.


    At the third realm, if the opponent''s soul will was weak, the opponent''s soul could be directly incinerated.


    Illusory Fire Spirit Palm was a technique that when mastered, one could attack the soul of an enemy. Yang Li didn''t have any martial arts at the moment. If his weapon was lost, he would be in an extremely passive position.


    He had chosen the Illusory Fire Spirit Palm to make up for his monotonous method of attack. After three days of training in the training tower, he had barely managed to successfully learn the Illusory Fire Spirit Palm.


    If he had this move from before the Large Competition, then he probably wouldn''t even need to use the Blood Explosion Technique to defeat Meng Zhong. He would be able to defeat him with just the Illusory Fire Spirit Palm.


    This move had also become his current trump card.


    Time passed quickly as he cultivated. After Yang Li familiarized himself with the circulation path of the Illusory Fire Spirit Palm, the Sect Leader''s voice floated into his ears.


    "We are about to arrive at the Flaming Secret Realm. All disciples prepare to disembark and greet the seniors and juniors of the other sects. But remember, you must not weaken the reputation of our sect!"


    Hearing this, Yang Li and the rest all walked out of their cabins, only to see the Lunar Wind Boat speeding forward, the mountains below all disappearing in a blink of an eye.


    After about a quarter of an hour, the Lunar Wind Boat''s speed gradually slowed down.


    Not long after, it completely stopped. Everyone disembarked, and what entered their sight was a patch of verdant greenery with towering trees everywhere. There were even several tents in the distance.


    Seeing the Lunar Wind Boat stop, an old man walked over. He looked at Bu Yuntian and smiled, "Sect Leader Bu, you came a little too slowly this time. Three or four sects have arrived."


    Bu Yuntian smiled when he saw the person. "Elder Liao, you must be joking. Which sects have arrived?"


    "They are all nearby sects. My Fire Li Sect is already here, as is Qingyan Sect and Blood Sun Valley. However, the two great sects haven''t arrived yet and are putting on airs. They''ll probably only arrive in the afternoon, so there''s no need to bother with them."


    "These two sects have relied on their strength to bully us, middle level sects. Sigh, if we can produce a half-magical existence in our sects, we wouldn''t need to suffer their wrath." When Bu Yuntian heard this result, he couldn''t help but sigh.


    The Wind Flame Sect and the Cloud Mist Sect were only at the half-step realm. Therefore, every time a secret realm appeared in the South Fire Region, the two great sects would rely on their strength to plunder large amounts of resources.


    Several large sects were already resentful in their hearts, but they couldn''t do anything about it. Even if they risked their lives, they might not be able to defeat a sect, so they could only tolerate this resentment.


    When the disciples behind Bu Yuntian heard the Sect Leader''s words, they couldn''t help feeling a little down. At this moment, Su Wan Qing opened her mouth.


    "Master, you don''t have to be discouraged. There will definitely be a half-step realm existence in our sect. Although we have not reached that level yet, we will definitely work hard!"


    "Master, please give us some trust. We will definitely sweep away the disciples of the two great sects on this trip to the secret plane!" Su Wanqing''s voice was clear but firm, and her words were filled with a strong sense of confidence.


    "What the latter said is right! How could I, a disciple of the Sky Mist Sect, allow others to extinguish my prestige, but I, the Sect Leader, was wrong! I apologize to everyone! " Bu Yuntian only realized that the sect disciples were behind him when he heard Su Wan Qing''s voice.


    He quickly adjusted himself, and said to the disciples: "This time, those that enter the secret realm are all below the Spirit Stage. We, the Elders, are not qualified to fight against the Sect Leaders and Elders of the other sects, but you must sweep through their disciples, and give them a good slap on the face!"


    "Yes!" It will definitely not disgrace Tian Lan''s reputation! " All the disciples answered in unison.


    "Haha, good!" Bu Yuntian happily laughed.


    Elder Liao''s eyes lit up as he stared at Su Wanqing and said to Bu Yuntian, "Sect Leader Bu really took in a good disciple!" This old man is truly envious! "


    Hearing Elder Liao''s words, Bu Yuntian looked at Su Wanqing and the smile in his eyes became even wider. He humbly said, "What is Elder Liao saying? The talent of the latter is only average. He cannot be a disciple of the Fire Li Sect."


    Even though he said that, Bu Yuntian couldn''t hold back the pride in his eyes.


    Elder Liao didn''t say anything. He just smiled and pointed at Bu Yuntian. After all, the four middle-sized Sects were all in sync. Otherwise, they would have been destroyed by the two large Sects a long time ago.


    As the two talked to each other, they assigned a place for the disciples to set up camp.


    Everyone had just started to set up their tents when they saw two extremely grandiose flying magical equipment slowly stop.


    A group of arrogant disciples descended from the ship. Their clothes were embroidered with patterns of fire and mist, and a few elderly men simultaneously disembarked from the ship.


    Bu Yuntian and the rest all saw an old man with a cloud tattoo on his chest say, "When are you going in?"


    "The plan is to enter tomorrow. When that time comes, I will need the cooperation of several elders to help me open the secret realm." Elder Liao said with a smile.


    "Alright, then help us arrange a place to stay for a while. Just send us a sound transmission when you enter tomorrow." The old man exuded a strong sense of pride.


    "Okay, no problem. Elders, please come this way." Elder Liao suppressed the displeasure in his heart, but his voice had turned slightly colder.


    "Humph!" The elder felt the change in his tone and glanced at him. He coldly snorted, but didn''t say anything. He waved his hand and the disciples behind him followed.


    When Elder Liao led the two sects and left the Sky Mist Sect''s encampment, a sharp-eyed disciple looked at Yang Li and a sneer appeared on his face. He then turned around to talk to his fellow sect members.


    "Heh, look, this seems to be a disciple of the Sky Mist Sect, he''s really a piece of trash. Even someone at the first level of Blood Tempering could make it into the top ten of their sect!" "Hahahaha!"


    When the other disciples of the two sects heard this, they all looked over and couldn''t help but laugh.


    The elder in front naturally heard this and smiled sarcastically. He turned to Bu Yuntian and said, "Sect Leader Bu, if your sect doesn''t have a suitable candidate next time, you can tell us! We two sects don''t mind sending out our men for you at all. "


    "It''s also unlikely that a first level Blood Tempering disciple would be dispatched here right now. If he dies, that would be too bad. After all, he is a pillar of the sect!"


    Bu Yuntian heard his words and coldly said, "Elder Wu does not need to worry about the matters of my Sky Mist Sect. I have my reasons."


    He turned around and said to the disciples behind him, "Looks like this disciple of the Sky Mist Sect is quite powerful, otherwise he wouldn''t have been brought out by Sect Leader Bu. You guys have seen it in the secret realm, do you understand?"


    "Understood!" The two sect disciples could not help but respond with smiles.


    The Misty Sky Sect disciples naturally heard what the group of disciples said, and their faces turned ice-cold. Even Wan Sheng, who did not want to deal with Yang Li, had a murderous look in his eyes.


    Su Wanqing comforted Yang Li with a voice transmission, "Junior Brother, don''t care about what they say. Once we enter the secret realm, I will help you beat them up. I want to see who dares to bully you!"


    "It''s okay, Senior Sister. A dog that bites doesn''t bark. I don''t mind." Yang Li said with a smile.


    At this time, a message was transmitted to all the disciples inside the identity token: "After entering the secret realm, if you meet any disciples from the two sects, kill them if you can, and don''t leave a single one alive!" Bu Yuntian''s voice was extremely cold. He was already completely infuriated.


    However, he didn''t need to say these words because all the disciples had already made up their minds. As long as they met a disciple from the Cloud Sect, they would not rest until they were dead!


    At this time, when the disciples of the two sects saw the killing intent in their eyes, they laughed disdainfully. One of the disciples at the ninth level of the Spirit Movement Stage directly spoke: "A group of useless trash, don''t look at us with such a gaze! You are not yet qualified! "


    "Is that so? If you do not want to enter the secret plane, tell me now, I can help you fulfill this wish! " Wan Sheng spoke coldly, the killing intent in his eyes becoming more and more intense.


    "What big words! "Then help me try it out!" That disciple disdainfully smiled, and the spiritual energy in his body also started to circulate.


    "Enough! I want to compete with you in entering the secret realm! Do whatever you want! "Don''t give me any extra problems right now!" Although Elder Wu opened his mouth to stop them, the meaning behind his words was to tell the disciples of the two sects to kill as they came into a secret realm!


    When the disciples of the two sects heard the words of their elders, they coldly laughed and turned to leave. The hearts of the Sky Mist Sect disciples were also filled with anger.


    Even before entering the secret realm, the three sects had already started to fight each other. It was destined that the secret realm would not be peaceful.


    "..."


    In the blink of an eye, the second day had arrived. The disciples and elders of the six major sects had gathered together.


    On both sides, there were ancient trees with luxuriant foliage. The trees were tall and big, as if they had grown for hundreds of thousands of years. From time to time, low level demon beasts would charge towards the group of people, but were annihilated by a single palm strike from the elders of the various sects.


    Soon, they arrived in front of a cave.


    Elder Liao stopped and turned around, saying to the crowd behind him, "We''re here. Elders, please lend me a helping hand. Activate the secret realm, and send this disciple in."


    Elder Liao threw a spirit art into the cave and a formation appeared. At the same time, a formation appeared in front of the cave as well. The elders, following Elder Liao''s instructions, stood at various points in the formation and channeled their power into the formation.


    Not long after, the formation above the cave began to emit a dazzling light, forming a door.


    "All disciples, quickly enter! We once again studied it yesterday, and after a month, we will expel everyone from the secret realm! "Remember!" Elder Liao roared.


    After the disciples heard this, they all stepped into the sect. When the last disciple entered, the elders of each sect quickly stopped their spirit energy output and sat down cross-legged to recover.

 C37

    After Yang Li and the sect disciples stepped into the formation, they felt the world spinning around them.


    After an unknown amount of time, Yang Li landed on the ground. After the dizziness passed, Yang Li had time to look around.


    However, what surprised him was that there was only Su Wan Qing by his side!


    Su Wanqing was much stronger than Yang Li. Naturally, she had woken up a long time ago. At this moment, Su Wanqing was frowning. It was unknown what she was thinking about.


    The secret realms on the continent were actually caves left behind by some experts, or Blessed Paradises. Aside from having all sorts of treasures, the concentration of spiritual energy here was also lower. For example, Yang Li''s secret realm was at least three times denser than the spiritual energy on the continent.


    Most of the secret realms were set up by senior experts not to stop the later generations, but to gather spirit energy and protect themselves.


    The array Yang Li and the others stepped into was obviously used by a senior expert to disperse the enemy.


    Everyone was sent to different places in the secret realm.


    Su Wanqing seemed to have thought about this. Her eyebrows relaxed. Seeing Yang Li wake up, she smiled like a hundred flowers blooming.


    Then he said, "Finally, you don''t have to keep a cold face! "I''m so happy!"


    In fact, Su Wan Qing didn''t know why, but Yang Li gave her a strange feeling of goodwill. Being with Yang Li made her feel relaxed.


    Yang Li had piqued her curiosity, initially because Yang Li had not fawned over her beauty and status, giving her the demon core.


    Moreover, when he looked at her, it was different from how lustful and lustful he was. Yang Li''s eyes were extremely clear, and could only look at him with admiration.


    After the outer sect competition, they were curious about Yang Li. He was only at the late stage of the first level of the Blood Tempering Stage, but he had become the champion of the outer sect competition! And relying on his charisma, he subdued almost all of the outer sect disciples.


    When Yang Li saw Su Wan Qing''s smile, his tensed body relaxed. With happiness in his eyes, he said, "Senior Sister Su, you look so pretty when you smile."


    Hearing Yang Li''s words, Su Wan Qing blushed and then pretended to be fierce: "Junior brother! How can you be so impudent! How could he talk to his Senior Sister! Senior Sister, how could you not know how beautiful your smile is! "


    After saying so, she couldn''t hold back her laughter. This was the first time she said she was good-looking in front of others, even in front of Yun Ci.


    But in front of Yang Li, he spoke without the slightest hesitation.


    When Yang Li heard Su Wan Qing''s words, the smile in his eyes became even wider. There was even a hint of emotion mixed in with it, but he did not realize it himself.


    "Senior Sister, shouldn''t we go look for another fellow sect member?" Looking at Su Wanqing''s smile, Yang Li''s voice became gentler.


    Ah!" I forgot! At this time, within the secret realm! But it''s okay, let''s go! Senior Sister will protect you! " Only then did Su Wan Qing react, but she soon became extremely proud as she spoke.


    "Good, then I will depend on you, Senior Sister!" Yang Li also cooperated with Su Wan Qing.


    The two of them did not know where they were, because they were in the same corridor. Both of them were in the dark, and only the Night Pearls were emitting a faint glow.


    After some discussion, the two decided to head straight ahead. Since they were in an unfamiliar environment, they were extremely vigilant.


    However, after walking for nearly two hours, the two of them still had not reached the end of the corridor. They also did not encounter any danger, so they could not help but relax a little and start chatting.


    "Youngest junior brother, you are pretty amazing!" He could defeat someone two levels higher! "How did you do it?" Su Wan Qing asked casually.


    "Because my talent is high!" Yang Li felt a little awkward when he heard Su Wan Qing''s question, so he answered without thinking too much.


    "Tch!" Hearing his words, Su Wan Qing was speechless at Yang Li''s narcissism and laughed.


    However, it seemed that Yang Li''s confidence made him feel an inexplicable sense of admiration.


    After all, everyone had their own secrets, so they started to chat.


    After nearly two hours, Yang Li and the others saw a door appear in front of them. Two large words were written on both sides of the door: "Treasure Pavilion. The able ones have it."


    On both sides of the door, there were two lifelike statues that looked like the ghosts of hell, giving off a very fiendish feeling.


    The two of them could not help but curiously walk forward, just as they reached the door.


    A sense of danger came from both sides. Yang Li didn''t even think before shouting, "Be careful, Senior!"


    Then, he took out the supine phoenix spear and stabbed towards the left without hesitation. A streak of divine flame rose into the sky as a scarlet flame illuminated the previously dark corridor.


    However, Yang Li''s spirit technique was useless. A black fist passed through his spirit technique and fiercely smashed onto his defensive spirit technique.


    The Heaven''s Circle shattered right after, the force behind his fist did not decrease, striking Yang Li''s chest, the force contained within was extremely strong, directly knocking Yang Li back a few metres, and causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.


    "How is this possible!" At this moment, Yang Li was extremely shocked. After the Large Competition, he had also trained in the Heaven-Revolving Tower for a bit. Even a Spiritual Movement Stage Initial Phase cultivator might not be able to destroy the current Heaven-Revolving Tower.


    However, this black fist still landed heavily on him after it was broken, but when it landed on his body, he didn''t know why.


    The owner of the fist was at least at the eighth level of the Spiritual Movement Stage!


    The moment Su Wanqing heard Yang Li''s voice, she reacted immediately. She activated her defensive spell and had been unharmed.


    When Su Muqing focused her eyes, she realized it was the two statues by the door. Su Muqing happened to see Yang Li being thrown out, and she couldn''t help feeling anxious.


    "Yang Li, how are you?" Su Wan Qing asked.


    "Senior sister, I''m fine. These two statues are at least at the eighth level of the Spiritual Movement Stage. Senior sister, be careful!" Yang Li wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth and replied to Su Wan Qing.


    Junior brother, it''s good that you''re fine. I''ll take care of these two statues. Hearing Yang Li''s voice, Su Wan Qing heaved a sigh of relief. Her face turned icy cold.


    "Dance of the Phoenix, Dance of the Nine Heavens!" With a resounding cry, an illusory image of a phoenix rose from Su Wanqing''s body. With blazing flames, it attacked the statue on the right.


    The frightening thing happened. The majestic phoenix silhouette attacked the statue but did not cause any damage! Statue: Immune to Spirit Spell!


    Su Wanqing was panicking, but at this moment, Yang Li spoke again, "Senior Sister, you have used all kinds of methods to attack the statue. I will observe its weakness!"


    Su Wan Qing was initially panicking, but after hearing Yang Li''s words, she somehow became more at ease. She started to use all sorts of methods to attack the statue, her spiritual energy, her fist attacks, all sorts of methods.


    However, he was still unable to inflict any substantial damage to the statue. This made Su Wanqing a little discouraged. The consumption of his Qi was increasing, and even the defensive techniques on his body were beginning to glow.


    Due to her trust in Yang Li, Su Wan Qing didn''t give up. She didn''t think Yang Li would harm her.


    Yang Li watched Su Wan Qing attack the statue from top to bottom and observed it closely. The statue was covered in black, and every time it received an attack, its eyes would twinkle.


    Before long, Yang Li noticed the phenomenon and bellowed: "Senior Sister, attack the statue''s eyes! That was his only weakness! "


    "Phoenix Dance Technique, Phoenix Dance Fist!" Hearing Yang Li''s words, Su Wan Qing immediately used her spirit technique and punched the statue''s eyes. Spiritual Qi surrounded her fist, forming a small phoenix shadow that rushed forward with the momentum of the roaring of the nine heavens.


    The moment the statue''s eyes met Su Wanqing''s fist, it exploded and stopped moving. A buzzing sound could be heard from within its body.


    Su Wan Qing didn''t notice the strange phenomenon of the statue. She didn''t have much spiritual energy left, so she needed to recover quickly. She sent another Phoenix Dance Fist towards the other statue''s eyes.


    The other statue was just like the first one. Its eyes were shattered and it remained motionless. However, there was no sound coming from it.


    Su Wan Qing heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile to Yang Li, "Youngest junior brother, you are so awesome!" We found the sculpture''s weakness so quickly! "


    Yang Li was about to reply when he heard the buzzing sound. Then, he saw a statue turn completely red, and it became redder and redder. An even stronger sense of crisis welled up from within his heart.


    "Senior sister, run!" The statues are going to explode! " Yang Li suddenly roared again.


    Su Wanqing was puzzled by his words. However, her intuition told her to trust Yang Li. Just as she was about to use her movement technique to leave, the statue exploded.


    "Bam!"


    The huge explosion caused the walls to shatter, and the stone wall above his head trembled, as if it was about to collapse.


    Yang Li was also sent flying dozens of meters away, but because he was no longer in the center of the explosion, his injuries weren''t serious.


    However, he was panicking now because Su Wanqing was in the center of the explosion!


    Yang Li sprinted towards Su Wanqing because the aftermath of the explosion had not disappeared yet. Dust filled the air and Yang Li''s line of sight was obstructed.


    He could only rely on his memories to search for Su Wanqing, but he could not find her.


    "Sister Su Wanqing!"


    "Senior Sister Su!"


    Yang Li was extremely anxious. He kept shouting out Su Wan Qing''s name, but there was no response.


    When the dust cloud had almost dissipated, Yang Li realized that Su Wanqing had fainted from his injuries. He was lying on the ground with a weak aura.


    He quickly helped Su Wan Qing up. He took out a Healing Pill from his storage ring and stuffed it into Su Wan Qing''s mouth. However, Su Wan Qing was not feeling any better.


    Looking at Su Wanqing''s face, Yang Li felt a pang in his heart. Suddenly, he thought of a pill, the Nine Transformation Life Pill!


    Su Wanqing was at the ninth level of the Spiritual Movement Stage. Without hesitation, Yang Li took out the pill and stuffed it into her mouth.


    However, it did not seem to have any effect on Su Wanqing. She still had a weak aura.


    At this moment, the two doors slowly opened.


    Seeing this scene, Yang Li softly said to the unconscious Su Wanqing, "Senior Sister Su, please forgive me. Junior has no choice but to offend you."


    With that, he carried Su Wan Qing and walked through the open door of the Mysterious Treasure Pavilion.

 C38

    "Descendants who enter the Treasure Pavilion are allowed to choose one of the treasures. Do not be greedy!"


    Yang Li looked at the massive stone monument in front of him and could not help but feel speechless.


    When he first entered, he saw over a hundred bookshelves as well as a room filled with Night Pearls.


    There were all sorts of treasures on the bookshelf. Yang Li was naturally pleasantly surprised to see so many treasures, but what he didn''t expect was that after the door was opened, a gentle breeze blew past and all the treasures on the bookshelf were turned to dust!


    Yang Li was extremely unwilling!


    "Could it be that Senior Sister Su''s injuries only brought back a pile of dust? I don''t believe it! "


    Yang Li circulated his spiritual energy around his body, in order to achieve an illumination effect. He carried Su Wanqing as he ran through the bookshelves. Even after going through half of the Mysterious Treasure Pavilion, he still did not find a single usable treasure.


    When they finished looking at the last bookshelf, Yang Li had completely given up. There were indeed no treasures that they could use.


    Suddenly, Yang Li''s mind moved. A certain part of the Mysterious Treasure Pavilion seemed to be affecting his bloodline. Yang Li frowned as he followed the blood''s reaction.


    Yang Li followed his senses and arrived at the stone tablet at the entrance of the Mysterious Treasure Pavilion. He didn''t discover anything, but the thirst in his bloodline was growing stronger and stronger.


    After a careful inspection, he found that there was a small door at the back of the stone monument. However, since this door was too dark, he didn''t notice it at the start.


    Because he had been hugging Su Wanqing all this time, Yang Li could only try kicking the door open.


    "That''s fine too!" Yang Li was even more speechless. Such a hidden door was originally very difficult to open, but who would have thought that he would actually kick it open?


    However, when he thought about it again, it made sense. If the treasures of the Treasure school could be dispersed with the wind, then this proved that this place had existed for many years.


    Yang Li carried Su Wanqing through the small door. The first thing that entered his sight was a desk with a piece of paper on it. There were two stones placed left and right, one red and the other green.


    On the left side of the room was a pile of spirit stones, while on the right side was a jade bed. On the wall of the bed hung a fire-red sword.


    The entire room was covered in a weak glow and was spotless. At the same time, the density of spiritual energy in the room was four times greater than that in the outside world.


    Yang Li gently placed Su Wanqing on the jade bed. The well-preserved jade bed gave people a warm feeling, but it did not seem cold at all.


    Then he took the sword and looked at it. Above the scabbard was a phoenix that was about to fly away. Its eyes were adorned with two fiery red gems, and it looked extremely beautiful.


    After the sword was unsheathed, one could see that the sword''s body was a fiery red like a demon. On both sides of the sword were carvings of phoenixes, and near the sword hilt were two small words.


    However, Yang Li was unable to determine its rank. Without even thinking about it, he kept it in his spatial ring and walked over to his desk.


    At the same time, the sensation in his blood became even stronger, and his blood started to boil.


    "Strange, it seems to be the reaction from the stone on the left."


    Yang Li first picked up the stone on the left. After inspecting it for a while, he discovered that it was useless and directly put it away. As he put it away, the strange feeling in his heart instantly disappeared.


    He did not rush to collect the other stone. Instead, he picked up the paper on the desk.


    "What the hell is this? There''s not a single word to describe it! What''s the point of putting it here?!" Yang Li looked at the completely blank piece of paper, completely in no mood to think about anything else. He also put the other stone away into his spatial ring.


    "This is great, for some reason, I''ve become a money grubber. I don''t know anything other than spirit stones!" Yang Li couldn''t help but mutter.


    However, even though he was muttering, his hands didn''t relax in the slightest. He used his spiritual energy to move all the spirit stones into his interspatial ring.


    "Heh, someone has come to this place before." Yang Li, who was putting the items away, heard a sound from above and couldn''t help but frown.


    "It is not clear whether they are friends or enemies. Let''s protect Su Wanqing first." As Yang Li thought of this, he walked to the bedside and picked up Su Wan Qing, putting the jade bed into his storage ring.


    But then he thought, if the person who came was an enemy, it would be too inconvenient to carry Su Wanqing. Thus, he took out a piece of clothing from his ring and tore it off, tying Su Wanqing to his body.


    "There''s a small door!" Let''s go, let''s go and take a look. " A wretched voice entered Yang Li''s ears.


    Yang Li saw two people walk in from outside and his eyes turned cold. They were people from the Cloud Mist Sect!


    When the two of them came in, they were stunned to see Yang Li and Su Wan Qing, who he carried on his back, unconscious.


    Following which, one of the disciples snickered, "The trash of the Sky Mist Sect, what a coincidence."


    Yang Li''s face turned cold as he said: "What a good dog! If you don''t block the way, scram!"


    Hearing Yang Li''s words, the two disciples'' faces froze. Killing intent condensed in their eyes as they looked at him.


    Another disciple laughed coldly: "A trash of the first level of the Blood Tempering Stage! How dare he be arrogant? You really are hanging yourself from an old longevity star! "


    "However, we are willing to give you a chance. If you hand over the beauty on your back and the treasures on your body, we might be able to spare your life."


    "Ha ha-ha ha, right! Brother Zimo is right! Hand over the beauty to let us have a good time, and then hand over the treasure on you, and you can scram! " Another disciple laughed lewdly.


    "I''ve never seen anyone so anxious to die!" Yang Li coldly spat out these words.


    When Zimo heard this, she immediately got angry.


    "Sharp tooth and hard mouth!" Since that''s the case, you can just die! Ink Fire Sword Art, Inky Ink! " A pitch-black spirit energy poured down like a waterfall. The explosive feeling of fire attribute spirit energy contained within it caused one to be unable to help from feeling the pressure multiplied.


    As this disciple made his move, Yang Li brightly smiled. This was because this was only a disciple at the seventh level of the Blood Tempering stage. This also meant that both of their cultivations were only at the Blood Tempering stage.


    However, Yang Li had never failed in a battle of the same level!


    "Then I''ll grant you the thought of courting death! "Flame God Spear Art, Nirvana Flames!" Yang Li immediately used his movement technique to dodge Zi Mo''s attack and rushed towards the other disciple''s back.


    The disciple had been watching in mockery as Zi Mo attacked Yang Li, but he suddenly felt the danger and immediately activated his defensive spirit art. Just as he unleashed his defensive spirit art, Yang Li''s attack arrived.


    Because he did not use the Blood Explosion Technique, Yang Li did not pierce through his defensive spirit art. However, at this moment, he was able to tell that this disciple''s cultivation was the same as Zi Mo''s, at the seventh level of the Blood Tempering stage!


    Since both of them were at the seventh level of the Blood Tempering Stage, this also meant that he didn''t need to hesitate in the slightest and directly beat them!


    "Blood Explosion!" Yang Li''s realm continued to rise, reaching the fifth level of the Blood Tempering stage in an instant. The two men from the Cloud Mist Sect were astonished, but they did not pay any attention to it.


    "Fight to the death? He used the explosive Spiritual Art, tsk tsk, it seems that this Spiritual Art isn''t bad. It directly raised the cultivation of the fourth level, but what''s the use of that! "Qi Meng, let''s attack together and finish this quickly!"


    "You can''t even handle this kind of small fry!?" Although I don''t like to bully the weak, but for the sake of beauties, I will endure it! " Qi Meng sighed and shook his head, but he didn''t hesitate. He took out his stick and swung it towards Yang Li.


    Seeing the two of them attack together, Yang Li did not panic at all. His long spear danced as one spirit art after another was executed, perfectly blocking the attacks of the two.


    The situation was tense for a moment. Powerful spirit energy was crisscrossed throughout the room, and from time to time, even more intense fluctuations would erupt. Yang Li did not feel too much pressure at all.


    However, the more the two fought, the more shocked they were. Even though their cultivation was only at the first level of the Blood Tempering Stage, they were actually able to fight two levels higher than the fifth level of the Blood Tempering Stage.


    "Qi Meng, don''t hesitate, use your trump card. If you don''t, you probably won''t be able to kill this brat! "Ink Fire Sword Art, Ink Fire Forest!" Zi Mo directly threw out his trump card.


    He stabbed his sword into the ground and pitch black flames surged out. The black flames continuously appeared under Yang Li''s feet.


    Yang Li hid while sneering: "Is that all you can do? Not enough! "Just put in more strength and you can kill me!"


    None of the fire on the ground could hit him.


    "Damn brat!" You''ve completely angered me! " Qi Meng was furious when he saw that Zimo''s trump card had not caused any damage to Yang Li.


    "Desolate Pole Technique, One Rod Break Eight Desolations!" Qi Meng swung the long rod in his hand at Yang Li, creating illusory shadows of the pole, which constantly superimposed on the long rod in his hand, becoming more and more powerful.


    Yang Li saw that they had all used their trump cards, and chuckled: "Interesting, but, only you guys have a trump card! "Illusory Fire Palm!" Yang Li put away his sleeper spear.


    A palm shot towards the two of them. A flaming palm made up of spiritual energy shot towards the two of them with an indescribable aura. The two of them were completely bewitched. They stood there in a daze until the spirit art was about to hit them.


    "One Wall!"


    "Fire Spirit Robe!"


    The two hastily used defensive spirit arts in order to block Yang Li''s attack. However, Yang Li didn''t have the time to play around with them. The Blood Explosion Technique was about to arrive, so they had to quickly end this battle.


    Yang Li immediately displayed his movement technique and once again took out his spear, thrusting it towards Qi Meng. He decided to kill the one with the most foul mouth.


    "Soaring Flame Dragon!" A roaring fire dragon appeared above the spear and ferociously pounced towards Qi Meng. Under the immense pressure of the Illusory Fire Palm and the Rising Sun Flame Dragon, Qi Meng''s defensive spirit art was directly shattered into pieces.


    Qi Meng was sent flying after being hit by both of his spells at the same time. He was destined to be seriously injured.


    "Explode!"


    Yang Li naturally wouldn''t give Qi Meng the slightest chance. He directly detonated the explosive energy within Qi Meng''s body. Qi Meng''s body was instantly torn apart, completely devoid of any signs of life.


    Yang Li didn''t hesitate at all when he saw Qi Meng die. He turned around and left, speeding toward the small door.


    "I will let you go for now. If not for the fact that my senior sister Chen Qing was severely injured, it would be inappropriate to fight for too long. This day next year will also be the day of your death!"


    Yang Li''s voice rang out, and his figure completely disappeared from outside the small door. Zi Mo, who was shocked by Qi Meng''s death, finally reacted, and his expression instantly became extremely unsightly.


    Two seventh level of the Blood Tempering Stage martial artists were surrounding and attacking a first level Blood Tempering martial artist, but the one that was being killed had calmly fled!


    No one would believe such a feat!


    Zimo couldn''t help but take a deep breath. This person was covered in cold sweat. He stood in the same spot for a long time before turning around to leave.


    "..."


    The reason why Yang Li left in such a hurry was because of Su Xiaqing.


    Su Wanqing was already severely injured, yet Su Chen had led her in a relatively intense battle.


    The aftermath of the battle made her already weak aura even weaker.


    It wasn''t that Yang Li couldn''t kill Zi Mo, it was just as he said. If he continued to fight, Su Wan Qing would really die!


    Yang Li carried Su Wanqing on his back, left the Treasure Pavilion and headed in the direction they came from.


    But not long after he left, the white paper in his spatial ring began to emit a hazy light. An array formation suddenly appeared in front of him, catching him off guard. Yang Li directly crashed into it, and the white paper disappeared with it.


    Yang Li and the other two had disappeared as well.

 C39

    Ever since Yang Li had barged into the array, he had come to this inexplicable place.


    A large pill furnace was placed in front of him, and there were all sorts of strange tools beside it. Yang Li did not know how to refine pills, nor did he understand these things.


    He was currently extremely weak. After the Blood Explosion Technique, he felt weak, which caused Yang Li to be extremely uncomfortable. As for Su Wan Qing, who had taken the Nine Transformation Life Pill, he did not feel any better.


    "Forget it. I''ll just cultivate first and recover first!" Yang Li said softly. He then took out the jade bed and placed Su Wan Qing on the right side. He then placed himself on the left side. There was a pile of spirit stones in the middle. His back was facing Su Wan Qing as he went into cultivation.


    There was no such thing as day or night in the secret realm. It had always been a feeling of dawn.


    The next morning, Yang Li woke up from his cultivation state and looked to his right. He was a little worried that Su Wanqing hadn''t woken up yet, but he didn''t think that Sun Sheng would lie to him. It was just that for some reason, the pill did not work.


    When he looked over, he was stunned. A smooth back appeared in front of his eyes. His white jade like skin flickered with a faint luster.


    Yang Li instantly turned his head back, his entire face was red, and two lines of blood slowly trickled down his nose.


    Su Wan was awake! Furthermore, he was changing his clothes!


    Yang Li howled in his heart, "She must have sensed that I''ve woken up, and she''s dead!"


    Ah!" Su Wanqing indeed sensed that he had woken up. Moreover, she sensed that he had turned his head around. A sharp scream suddenly came from her mouth, as if it could pierce through the sky.


    When Yang Li heard this scream, his head grew bigger.


    He immediately used his spiritual energy to close his ears, tightly shut his eyes, and remained motionless.


    After an unknown period of time, a hand lightly patted him twice.


    Yang Li opened his eyes and sat up. He noticed that Su Wan Qing had changed and was looking at him with a reddened face.


    Yang Li wiped the blood from his nose and coughed dryly twice. "Cough cough, Senior Sister Su, I didn''t do it on purpose! And I didn''t see anything! You have to believe me! "


    "Youngest junior brother!" Su Wan Qing was not thinking about this anymore. Once Yang Li spoke, her face turned even redder.


    Su Wan Qing gritted her teeth as she stared at Yang Li and enunciated each word, "Junior brother!" If you mention it again! I will definitely throw you into the pill furnace! "


    Su Wan Qing didn''t expect Yang Li to wake up. She woke up earlier than Yang Li. When she woke up, she found her clothes were dirty, so she changed her clothes.


    In the end, Yang Li died and woke up. Moreover, after he woke up, he turned around and looked at her!


    "Understood, Senior Sister." Yang Li replied weakly.


    For the first time, Yang Li did not dare to look Su Wanqing in the eye. Su Wanqing was also embarrassed, and the situation was extremely awkward for her.


    Su Wan Qing looked at Yang Li with a reddened face. Her gaze became softer. Although she was severely injured yesterday, her consciousness was still clear.


    She could feel that Yang Li didn''t violate her apart from carrying her on his back. Moreover, she could hear every word Yang Li said!


    Furthermore, when she woke up, the Spirit Stones placed between the two of them gave her a sense of security and satisfaction.


    Yang Li opened his eyes and looked at her, making her feel extremely warm. Although Yang Li had seen something he shouldn''t have, she decided not to pursue the matter.


    Yang Li''s actions proved that Su Wan Qing was not mistaken. At the same time, she felt an inexplicable sense of dependence and affection for this young man who was much weaker than her.


    After a while, Yang Li couldn''t continue to feel awkward. "Senior Sister (Junior Brother), let''s take a look around this place first." "What is this place?"


    Su Wan Qing and he spoke at the same time, their voices overlapping each other''s, causing them to be unable to hear each other clearly.


    "Senior Sister, please speak first." Yang Li decisively said.


    "Youngest junior brother, what is this place?"


    "I don''t know." Yang Li very straightforwardly replied, "From the outside, it should be a pill room. When I brought you out of the Treasure Pavilion, you bumped into a formation and came here, but your body was a little weak and you didn''t even have time to examine it."


    "Then let''s take a look together, Junior Brother." Upon hearing Yang Li''s words, Su Wan Qing said these words without thinking. When she said the two words "we", a sweet feeling unconsciously emerged in her heart.


    "Alright, I''ll listen to Senior Sister."


    The two of them stood up and Yang Li kept the jade bed and the Spirit Stones before walking around with Su Wanqing.


    This place had two small rooms, one on the left and one on the right. In the middle was a large room, and the pill furnace was placed in the middle.


    There was a cabinet on the left side of the room. On top of the cabinet were several small drawers. Looking around, there were at least hundreds of boxes.


    In the center of the room, there was a line of words: The Dao of alchemy, one must be sincere in obtaining it!


    Su Wan Qing didn''t notice this, but Yang Li had been staring at this sentence ever since he entered the sect.


    He could vaguely sense that there was something hidden within the words on the wall!


    "Youngest junior brother!" Come and see! There are pills! " Su Wanqing''s excited voice was heard. Yang Li turned his head to look.


    She found a pill bottle in her hand and took out a pill the size of a longan.


    However, Yang Li had just turned around when the pill turned into a stream of air and disappeared. Su Wanqing was stunned, but Yang Li was already used to it.


    Even a Heavenly Treasure could dissipate, let alone pills.


    He casually said, "Senior Sister, don''t take these pills too seriously. If I''m not wrong, there shouldn''t be any pills that can be used."


    "Are you for real?" Let me see. " Hearing Yang Li''s words, Su Wan Qing believed him immediately, but she still wanted to see if there were any pills she could use.


    When she finished looking through all the cabinets, it was exactly as Yang Li had said. There was no way to use it. Su Wan Qing was a little discouraged in her heart.


    "Junior apprentice-brother, let''s go." Su Wan Qing turned to look at Yang Li, preparing to drag him out of the other room.


    He discovered that Yang Li''s eyes were focused on the wall as he curiously looked over.


    However, the moment she saw the words on the wall, the person uncontrollably fell into a trance.


    "Alright, Senior Sister." Yang Li, who hadn''t found anything hidden in the cave for a long time, answered without thinking and retracted his gaze, preparing to leave.


    However, Su Wan Qing was still in a trance, muttering to herself. He listened attentively.


    "Pills..." Nonpolar... Calming the heart and calming the Qi... "Okay ¡­" Su Wanqing''s words were intermittent, and Yang Li couldn''t hear her clearly.


    However, from her words, she could vaguely tell that it was something related to pill concocting. It must be something beneficial to Su Wanqing, so she was not in a hurry because she did not know how long Su Wanqing would be in this state.


    Yang Li did not think much and sat down cross-legged to cultivate.


    When Su Wan woke up, her eyes were shining with excitement. Seeing Yang Li cultivating, but not bothering him, she also sat down and began to cultivate.


    After an unknown period of time, Yang Li woke up from his cultivation, and Su Muqing just happened to wake up at the same time.


    "Youngest junior brother!" I have obtained a pill formula! There are many methods to refine pills that have been lost, as well as methods to collect pills! "


    Su Wanqing said excitedly. She was like a child who had gotten a toy and was happily showing off her toy.


    "Then I must congratulate you, Senior-apprentice Sister. Senior-apprentice Sister is a genius of the Pill Dao. This is like adding wings to a tiger!" Yang Li also congratulated her with a smile.


    "Hehe, I still have to thank my junior brother. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have been able to discover this pill technique. Don''t worry, junior brother!" "Senior Sister will concoct pills for you in the future!" Su Wanqing giggled with a happy expression on her face.


    "Many thanks, Senior Sister. Let''s go out and take a look." A doting smile unconsciously hung on Yang Li''s face.


    "Mhmm!"


    The two of them walked out of the room and went to the opposite room, but they found nothing. In the opposite room, there was only a bed and a medicine cabinet.


    After the two of them turned the entire area, they found out that they were trapped! There was no entrance that led to the outside world!


    Upon realizing this, Su Wan Qing became anxious and asked anxiously, "What do we do now? Youngest junior brother, we really can''t seem to be able to get out. "


    "Senior Sister, don''t worry. If I continue to study, I will definitely be able to get out!" Yang Li said with absolute certainty as he walked around the room nonstop.


    His gaze swept past the items one by one as he thought about them. However, none of them seemed to be special. Furthermore, Su Wanqing had already told him the purpose of those strange items.


    The only thing he did not inspect was the interior of the huge pill furnace.


    "Could it be that the exit is inside the pill furnace?" Thinking of this, Yang Li directly said, "Senior-apprentice Sister Su, wait for me here. The exit might be inside the pill furnace. I''ll go in and take a look."


    "No way, no way! I''m going in with you! What if you are in danger? " When Su Wan Qing heard Yang Li''s words, she rejected him straightforwardly. She didn''t know why, but she just didn''t want to be separated from Yang Li.


    "This... Alright, then Senior Sister, let''s go in together, maybe we''ll just go out together. " Yang Li initially did not want Su Wan Qing to be with him, but after some thought, he changed his mind.


    The two looked again and found that there was nothing else. They lifted the lid of the pill furnace with their spiritual energy and jumped in.


    "..."


    The facts proved that Yang Li''s idea was correct. There was a transmission array beneath the pill furnace, sending the two of them to another room.


    There was only a small cauldron in the room, but it was still burning with flames. On the wall, there was a painting of a man standing on the peak of a mountain, but only the back of his head could be seen. Dressed in white, he wore a red sword on his waist.


    The entire painting gave off a mysterious aura.


    As Yang Li saw the sword, his mind stirred. He took out the long sword obtained from the Treasure Pavilion, and as soon as the Divine Phoenix Sword appeared, it began to emit a dazzling brilliance.


    The originally dark room immediately brightened up. The man on the painting turned around and a silhouette appeared in front of the two of them. It was a handsome looking man with eyebrows like swords and stars.


    That man appeared. Upon seeing the two of them, he faintly smiled, "How many years has it been? Finally, someone has arrived."


    Su Wan Qing panicked when she saw the man''s sudden appearance. The sudden change was too sudden and caught her off guard.


    However, Yang Li remained extremely calm. This light shadow was the projection of a man''s consciousness. Yang Li''s heaven was obtained from the projection of Zhou Tian Fang''s divine sense.


    Yang Li directly greeted, "Greetings, senior. Junior Yang Li greets senior."


    Hearing Yang Li''s words, the white clothed man''s eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, and then he said: "So it''s her descendant! It''s no wonder you were able to enter. "


    "Hello, Yang Li. My name is Yan Wushuang. I''m glad that you came here. Before my Spiritual Sense disappeared, I saw another person with the same bloodline as her."

 C40

    Yan Wushuang smiled lightly and said: "Take out your Phoenix Blood Stone and Phoenix Blood Stone."


    When Yang Li heard this, he immediately knew what he was talking about. He directly took out the stones he had obtained from the Treasure Pavilion and held one in each hand.


    The green stone is the Phoenix Blood Stone, and the red stone is the Phoenix Blood Stone. The Phoenix Blood Stone can fuse with your bloodline, strengthen your abilities, and lower the weakness of your secret bloodline technique. I refined it for one of your ancestors.


    Yan Wushuang''s voice was full of yearning, gentleness and sadness. She sank into her memories and did not speak for a long time.


    Yang Li did not speak, nor did he interrupt Yan Wushuang''s recollection. Instead, he showed a trace of respect towards her.


    Su Wanqing, on the other hand, was confused. She didn''t understand it at all, but she could tell that it would benefit Yang Li, so she didn''t pay much attention to it.


    "Forget it, it''s all in the past, there''s no need to think about it anymore. Yang Li, now I''ll tell you how to use the Phoenix Blood Crystal and its uses. Listen carefully." Yan Wushuang''s expression turned serious.


    "Understood, senior." Yang Li respectfully replied.


    "The Phoenix Blood Crystal can only be used by those who have activated your bloodline. It is useless to ordinary people."


    "After the awakening of the Bloodline, one needs to reach the Spirit Realm or above, or with the help of a Spirit Realm warrior, to use spiritual power to liquefy it and swallow it."


    "The liquid form of the Phoenix Blood Stone is in the shape of blood. It is extremely hot in your mouth and accompanied by great danger. Back then, your ancestors used it and you almost died, so you must remember it!"


    "The Phoenix Blood Stone will greatly reduce your period of weakness, but only you will know how long it will last."


    "The other piece is the Phoenix Blood Stone. The Phoenix Blood Stone increases a person''s comprehension ability, but with your bloodline''s aptitude, it is already at the peak of this world. There isn''t much use for it."


    The use of the Phoenix Blood Stone is relatively simple, you just need to use some supplementary ingredients to refine it into a pill. The refining method will be formed into a jade chip for you later on, however, this Phoenix Blood Stone is best for a woman to use.


    Yan Wushuang suddenly changed the topic and smiled. Although Yang Li had his doubts, he did not inquire about it.


    "At the same time, this place you''re in has its limits. If you want to get out, one of you must break through to the Spirit Realm and break the formation."


    "You can also wait for one month. After the Ancient Wind Martial School''s secret location is destroyed, you can leave. When that happens, the formation will expel you and then self-destruct."


    Suddenly, Yan Wushuang cut her voice into a line and said to Yang Li.


    "The last point is the inheritance of my martial arts. You have extremely high talent and you also practice the Flame God Incantation. However, although the Flame God Incantation was originally an Emperor level technique from ancient times, I can see that your practice was incomplete."


    "If you are willing, you can inherit my martial arts. Although I am not as powerful as the Emperor God, I will still pass my martial arts on to you in the form of a jade chip. When you give the Phoenix Blood Stone to someone else, you can give them to them!"


    "Junior thanks senior for your good intentions, but junior will think of a way to completely restore the Flame God Incantation. Junior will help you find a suitable person to pass on your cultivation technique to." Yang Li tactfully rejected Yan Wushuang.


    Even though his heart was moved, he still refused. He finally understood that the original rank of the Flame God Incantation was actually an emperor level technique that had already disappeared from the road! It was unknown what kind of fortuitous opportunity the Sky Mist Sect obtained to obtain this manual.


    Although the incomplete cultivation technique was painful for others and needed to be changed, it was not a problem for Yang Li. Every time he entered the ancient secret grounds, the Flame God Incantation would mysteriously complete a part of it.


    Yan Wushuang looked at Yang Li and smiled: "You are very ambitious. Fine, I will pass on my legacy to you. See you later, Yang Li."


    Yan Wushuang slowly disappeared after she finished her sentence. Su Wanqing did not hear Yan Wushuang and Yang Li''s conversation. Although she was curious about what Yan Wushuang had said, she did not ask.


    After Yan Wushuang''s figure completely disappeared, two jade slips appeared in Yang Li''s hands. Yang Li picked up one of the jade slips and probed it. He discovered that it was the refining method of the Phoenix Blood Stone and some memories regarding this secret realm.


    "Senior Sister Su." Yang Li called out to Su Wan Qing.


    "Hmm? What''s wrong, junior apprentice-brother? " Su Wan Qing asked doubtfully.


    "Senior Sister, you should know the uses of this Phoenix Blood Crystal. Furthermore, it was only because of your injuries that I was able to take it out of the Treasure Pavilion. Therefore, this stone was given to you as a gift."


    "This is the usage and refining method of the Phoenix Blood Stone. Senior is an alchemist. If you have all the materials in the jade slip, then you can use it to refine it."


    Yang Li said indifferently.


    "Junior apprentice-brother." Su Wan Qing was touched. If Yang Li didn''t give it to her, she wouldn''t be able to ask for it.


    "Senior Sister, you don''t need to refuse. Junior Brother still hopes that after using the Phoenix Blood Stone, you can break through to the Spirit Realm as soon as possible and help me use the Phoenix Blood Stone." Yang Li said with a smile.


    "Humph!" Since you have already said it, what else can I say! " Su Wan Qing wrinkled her nose and snorted. She still took the Phoenix Blood Stone and jade slip from Yang Li.


    "Alright senior sister, take a look and refine the Phoenix Blood Crystal. I will try to break through to the second level of the Blood Tempering Stage." After he finished speaking, Yang Li sat down cross-legged and began cultivating.


    When Su Wanqing saw this, a warm feeling flowed through her heart. Her initial feelings of affection had become stronger.


    Su Wan Qing picked up the jade slip Yang Li had given her and started to look through the supplementary ingredients for the Phoenix Blood Stone. She was pleasantly surprised to find them all in her Cosmic Bag.


    The furnace room was already prepared, but to refine the Phoenix Blood Stone would result in a level four pill. Su Wan Qing was not confident, so she decided that Su Wan Qing''s Cosmic Bag would have enough ingredients. Thus, Su Wan Qing started to refine the supplementary medicines.


    Even the concocting of supplementary ingredients was not easy. Su Wanqing had to concoct continuously for three days and three nights before she could master the concocting of supplementary ingredients.


    Su Wan Qing slept on the jade bed Yang Li took out long ago. After taking a good rest, she finally started to refine the Phoenix Blood Stone.


    On the other side, Yang Li had only started cultivating a few days ago when he felt the bottleneck of the second level of the Body Tempering stage loosen.


    Feeling the bottleneck loosen up, Yang Li gathered all of the spirit energy in his body and repeatedly smashed into the bottleneck of the second level of the Blood Tempering stage.


    After assailing this bottleneck countless times, Yang Li finally broke through, officially stepping into the second level of the Blood Tempering stage. However, he didn''t rise. Instead, he took out a small boundary pill from his spatial ring and swallowed it.


    The moment the pill entered his mouth, it dissolved. A dense Spiritual Energy emitted out from the pill, slowly increasing Yang Li''s reserves of Spiritual Energy. The circulation of his Spiritual Energy was at least ten times faster than usual.


    Yang Li''s cultivation rose again and again. In less than two hours, he had already broken through to the late stage of the second level of the Blood Tempering Stage.


    After that, he advanced to the third level of the Blood Tempering Stage without any obstructions, and only then did he manage to stabilize himself. With a thought, Yang Li once again took out the Small Breakthrough Pill and swallowed it.


    He slowed down the circulation of his spiritual energy, slowly assimilating the spiritual energy emitted by the pill and converting it into his own cultivation.


    Before long, the medicinal strength of the pill was completely absorbed by him.


    Yang Li took a deep breath and began to stabilize his cultivation. If his cultivation wasn''t stabilized in time, it might even cause his cultivation to regress.


    When Yang Li''s cultivation was completely stable and complete, he was already at the third level of the Blood Tempering stage.


    At the same time, Su Wan Qing''s refinement of the Phoenix Blood Stone was nearing its end.


    Yang Li opened his eyes and looked at Su Wan Qing who was completely focused on refining the Phoenix Blood Crystal. A faint smile unconsciously formed on his lips.


    Noticing the beads of sweat on Su Wan Qing''s forehead, Yang Li wanted to wipe them away with his hand, but the sweat disappeared in an instant, leaving nothing behind.


    Yang Li just stared at Su Wanqing. The palpitations in his heart were getting stronger and stronger. He felt like he wanted to take her in his arms.


    However, Yang Li suppressed his own thoughts. He didn''t want to be beaten to death by a hooligan.


    After an unknown period of time, the Phoenix Blood Stone was finally completely refined, forming a pill. Su Wan Qing was ecstatic as she took out a jade bottle and placed it in the bottle.


    "Youngest junior brother, I''m going to take the pill. You have to watch out and protect me." Of course, Su Wan Qing had long since realized that Yang Li had woken up. She also realized that Yang Li was staring at her. However, she wasn''t disgusted with him. Instead, she felt a trace of happiness in her heart.


    "Senior Sister, don''t worry and cultivate. If someone comes here, I''ll definitely not let them disturb you. I''ll fight with my life on the line!" Yang Li smiled, but both of them knew that it was impossible for anyone to enter this place. The jade slip had already explained everything clearly.


    Su Wanqing nodded and took out the Phoenix Blood Pill. She swallowed it in one gulp and a thick fog began to emanate from her body.


    Even Yang Li could not see the situation clearly. After more than a day, the fog surrounding Su Wanqing finally dissipated.


    Ah!" Yang Li, you better turn around! Don''t look! Cover your ears and nose with spirit energy as well! " Seeing Yang Li looking at her, Su Wanqing cried out.


    At this moment, her body was covered by a layer of black substance. She also thought of the impurities that had been removed from her body, and even emitted an unpleasant odor.


    Yang Li obediently turned around, and his nose and ears were blocked with spirit energy. But for some reason, he suddenly remembered that smooth back of his.


    Su Wanqing was on the verge of tears. She did not expect Yang Li to see her like this. She had the urge to kill herself by scrubbing her body with her spiritual energy.


    "Youngest junior brother, you can turn around now." Su Wanqing said with a red face.


    After about two hours, Su Wan Qing finished washing her body and quickly took out a set of clothes to change into. After burning all the black substance on the ground, she made Yang Li turn around.


    However, Yang Li was stunned when he turned around. After taking the Phoenix Blood Pill, Su Wanqing''s talent did not change. He did not sense it, but Su Wanqing''s temperament was even more attractive. Even her appearance seemed to have undergone some slight changes.


    Su Wanqing gave off an indescribable feeling, making people want to get close to her. The shyness in her big eyes made people''s hearts beat faster.


    "Senior Sister, you''re so beautiful." Yang Li couldn''t help but say these words.


    However, Su Wan Qing didn''t refute him this time. Instead, the bashfulness in her eyes turned into joy. She smiled like a hundred flowers blooming. The dark room was lit up by her smile.

 C41

    Yang Li recovered from his daze and took out another jade slip from his spatial ring. He smiled and said, "Senior sister, I will also give this to you."


    "Eh, what''s in this jade slip?" Su Wan Qing asked curiously.


    "Put it on your forehead and you''ll know."


    "Oh, then let me see." Su Wan Qing obediently stuck the jade chip on her forehead.


    The jade chip turned into an unknown energy and rushed into Su Wan Qing''s mind.


    Su Wan Qing closed her eyes and sat down in a cross-legged position. Her Qi circulated again and again. Every time it circulated, the path changed.


    After a long time, the circulation route did not change. However, Su Wanqing did not wake up. Her eyes were still closed as she operated her martial arts again and again. Her momentum also gradually increased.


    An unknown feeling rose from within the room. Yang Li felt as if someone was watching him from the roof. When he looked up, he did not see anything. He turned to look at Su Wan Qing. Yang Li seemed to have understood something.


    "Congratulations to Senior Sister on breaking through to the Spirit Realm!" Yang Li looked at the ceiling and chuckled.


    The aura suddenly shook and then disappeared. Even the unknown aura in the room disappeared. However, a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy appeared on Su Wanqing''s body.


    The spiritual energy in the room began to rage as it absorbed the spiritual energy from the outside world. Then, it started to rush into Su Wanqing''s body.


    Six hours later, the spiritual energy in the room finally calmed down, and Su Wanqing''s aura also changed.


    "Youngest junior brother!" "Come, let me help you refine the Phoenix Blood Stone!" Su Wan Qing opened her eyes and said this to Yang Li.


    When Yang Li heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he took out the Phoenix Blood Stone. Su Wan Qing waved her hand and directly sucked it in.


    Dense fire spirit energy revolved around the Phoenix Blood Stone, slowly melting it.


    "Youngest junior brother, you actually tricked me!" Su Wan Qing gritted her teeth and said viciously as she continued refining the Phoenix Blood Crystal.


    "Senior, you are wrongly accusing me!" How did I lie to you, Senior Sister! " Yang Li said with a wronged expression.


    "Dharma rank inner force cultivation technique, Dharma rank sword martial arts, and Dharma rank agility martial arts ¡­ you really can bear to part with them!" If it were not for the Dharma rank inner force skill, she would not have been able to break through to the Spirit Realm.


    "Is this for real?!" If I had known earlier, I would have used it myself! " Yang Li shouted in a strange manner as if he didn''t know anything.


    "Pretend!" You better pretend! If you give it to me, what will you do about it? " Su Wanqing started to get angry.


    Although she was very touched, she was also very speechless. If it were anyone else, she would have been able to hide in time. But Yang Li had directly tricked her into doing so!


    Moreover, from the moment the information on the jade slip entered her mind, she had already made a vow. Besides a direct disciple, she could not reveal it to anyone else, or else her soul would be completely destroyed!


    If she wanted to pass it to Yang Li, it wouldn''t be possible, so she was a bit angry.


    "Senior-apprentice Sister, you can rest assured. Junior has an even better cultivation method. Moreover, Senior Yan said that I will not be able to learn it for anyone who has absorbed the Phoenix Blood Stone!" Yang Li stopped playing dumb and told Su Wan Qing directly.


    "So you already had your eyes on me!" "Youngest junior brother, you sure are bold!" Su Wan Qing was grinding her teeth, looking like she wanted to eat someone alive.


    However, because of her appearance, no matter how much she tried to disguise herself, she was unable to shake off that absolutely lovely and beautiful feeling. Instead, it caused people to lightly laugh.


    "No, no!" "How would Junior dare to have any ideas about Senior Sister!" Yang Li laughed when he saw Su Wanqing''s expression.


    Su Wanqing seemed to have noticed this and said in a vexed tone, "Laugh!" You laugh! "Come, open your mouth!"


    Upon realizing that the Phoenix Blood Rock had almost melted, a naughty thought appeared in Su Wan Qing''s mind.


    Hearing Su Wan Qing''s words, Yang Li was a little confused, but he still opened his mouth. He did not notice that the Phoenix Blood Rock had completely melted.


    Seeing Yang Li opening his mouth, Su Wan Qing poured the medicinal liquid formed by the Phoenix Blood Stone into Yang Li''s mouth.


    "Ugh!"


    Yang Li was unable to react in time. He glared at Su Wanqing in annoyance and amusement. Then, he sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the liquid from the Phoenix Blood Crystal.


    A liquid like blood flowed down his throat, giving off a scorching feeling. An uncontrollable pain violently assaulted him, causing Yang Li''s blood to boil over.


    His spirit energy began to frantically revolve around him, and his skin started to turn red. Flames seemed to be rising up in his mind, as if they were going to burn his whole body to nothingness.


    Yang Li gritted his teeth and persevered. He did not make a sound and the veins on his forehead popped out. Seeing this scene, Su Wanqing felt extremely panicked. However, she did not dare to touch Yang Li, fearing that she had done something wrong.


    After a quarter-hour passed, the pain in Yang Li''s body suddenly increased. His entire body felt like it was being pierced by needles. There was an unknown burning sensation in his blood, and his skin began to crack.


    Blood seeped out, completely wetting Yang Li''s clothes, turning him into a man made of blood.


    "How can this be! "What should we do?" When Su Wanqing saw this, she was filled with remorse and tears rolled down her cheeks.


    Endless pain struck him, and the flames in his mind burned Yang Li''s consciousness. There was only a little bit of clarity left in his mind.


    "A mere stone turned into blood!" How could I, Yang Li, be unable to conquer it! "


    "I am destined to ascend to the peak of perfection in my life! How could he just die like that!? "


    "It''s only a little bit of pain. If I can''t even endure this little bit of pain, how will I face the many troubles of this continent?"


    Ah!


    An unwilling and unyielding will swept out from the last bit of Yang Li''s spiritual will. It quickly extinguished the flames in his mind, covering the entirety of his mind.


    The pain in his body slowly subsided and disappeared.


    Beneath the broken surface of his skin was a skin as tender and smooth as a newborn baby''s. The restless spirit energy also returned to its calm state, and his expression became even more resolute and handsome.


    Yang Li opened his eyes. His star-like eyes suddenly erupted with a shocking divine light.


    When all the pain disappeared, Yang Li immediately felt relieved. That was when he heard Su Wan Qing crying.


    "Senior Sister Su, don''t cry, I''m fine." Yang Li gently said.


    "Wow." Hearing Yang Li''s words, Su Wan Qing could no longer hold back. She hugged Yang Li and burst into tears. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. The crying got fiercer. She didn''t even care about Yang Li''s blood anymore.


    "Youngest junior brother ¡­" I was wrong, I won''t be naughty anymore. " Su Wan Qing cried as she spoke.


    "Alright, Senior Sister Su, I am fine, right? You''re also a person with a Spirit Realm cultivation. It''s not good for others to see someone crying like that. " Yang Li said helplessly.


    However, he couldn''t bear to push Su Wanqing away. He gently caressed her hair as he comforted her.


    "I ¡­" Su Wanqing suddenly had a feeling. So what if she was at the Spirit Realm? If something were to happen to Yang Li, no matter how high her cultivation was, it would be unbearable for her.


    The proportion that Yang Li occupied in her heart suddenly expanded infinitely. Although Yang Li''s cultivation was weaker than hers, she didn''t care at all.


    "Alright senior sister, don''t cry. Let''s go out first." When Yang Li heard Su Wan Qing''s wails lessen, his tears also became less frequent, so he quickly spoke up.


    "Alright." Su Wanqing only spat out one word and stopped talking. As she sobbed, she stared at Yang Li''s face.


    "We still need to rely on you to get out, Senior Sister." Yang Li expressed his helplessness.


    "Don''t call me senior sister! Call me late Qing! You call me old! " Su Wanqing suddenly said viciously.


    "Good, good, good. In the future, I''ll call you Yanqing in private. It''s fine to call you senior sister in front of outsiders. After all, you have to protect your face in front of outsiders. All right, Yanqing, don''t cry anymore. Let''s prepare to leave."


    "Humph!" Su Wanqing harrumphed and inched her head towards Yang Li''s chest.


    After they were done, Su Wan Qing suddenly felt something amiss. She realized that she was still hugging Yang Li and blushed. She quickly let Yang Li go and tidied up her clothes. She kept looking around to hide her embarrassment.


    "Mouthy what? Shouldn''t you hug him a little longer?" Yang Li suddenly felt regret when he felt Wen Xiang had left him. He couldn''t help but mutter under his breath.


    With Su Wanqing''s cultivation level, she naturally heard his words. Her face turned even redder, but she did not expose Yang Li.


    "Senior sister, try attacking the wall and see if you can blast it open. If you can, then prepare to leave!" After a moment of regret, Yang Li remembered the important matter and spoke to Su Wan Qing.


    "Yes." Su Wan Qing responded by throwing a punch at the wall.


    "Bam!"


    A hole was blasted through the wall. Yang Li noticed that something was amiss, and his spirits were greatly lifted. Su Wan Qing did not wait for him to leave and attacked the wall instead.


    "Bang!" "Bam!" The sound continued, and the cave entrance became bigger and bigger. Not long later, a large hole big enough for people to enter and exit.


    Yang Li was the first to walk out, but the moment he left, he saw three people standing before him. The cloud pattern on their chests showed just who they were, and one of them was someone Yang Li was extremely familiar with.


    Cloud Sect! Zimo!


    Seeing Zimo, Yang Li''s lips curled up in a mocking smile. He opened his mouth and said, "Trash, what a coincidence."


    When Zimo saw Yang Li, her entire body shivered. Regret filled her heart as she thought, "Dammit, how did I meet this fiend again!"


    Before Zi Mo could say anything, another person spoke up, "Haha, someone at the third level of the Blood Tempering stage dares to call him trash?"


    Yang Li turned his head and smiled: "I''ve seen people picking up spirit stones, and I''ve also seen people picking up treasures. I''ve only seen people picking up curses like you, even though you''re also a trash!"


    "Brat, you''re courting death!"


    When the disciple heard this, he flew into a rage. His spiritual power fluctuated. He was at the ninth level of the Spiritual Movement Stage, the same level as Su Wanqing.


    Just as he was about to strike Yang Li with a move, a clear voice like that of an oriole rang out. At the same time, a suppressive power belonging to a Spirit Realm cultivator appeared.


    "If he says you''re trash, then you''re trash!" Su Wanqing''s figure emerged from the hole behind Yang Li.


    Su Wan Qing walked to Yang Li''s side and stood still. She looked at the disciple with a cold voice.


    "Now, I say that you all are trash. Do you all have any objections?"


    That disciple felt the pressure from Su Wan Qing. It was like a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head. A chill went up his spine.


    "Fairy, you must be joking. This is just a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding. We won''t disturb the two of you for now." The disciple smiled coyly and stiffly at Yang Li. He turned around and was about to call his fellow sect members to leave.


    "Did I, let you leave!" Yang Li suddenly opened his mouth, and within his voice was an irresistible intent.

 C42

    The three figures that were about to leave suddenly stopped, and the disciple who spoke earlier spoke up.


    "Brat, pay attention to your tone! We are giving face to this fairy, not to you! You don''t have the qualifications to talk about us! "


    "His words are my own! Since he did not say for you to leave, then stand still and do not move! " Su Wan Qing started to speak, defending Yang Li very much.


    "Uh, then this little brother, do you have any other advice for me?" The previous disciple appeared to be extremely embarrassed, but he did not dare to disobey Su Wan Qing, so he could only submit.


    "Nothing, you can leave Zi Mo behind." Yang Li said indifferently.


    When Zi Mo heard this, his entire body shuddered. He looked at the other two people and said with a trembling voice, "Senior brother Li Le, you can''t let me stay! They will kill me!"


    Hearing Zi Mo''s words, a look of despise flashed past Li Le''s eyes. However, due to the protection of his fellow sect members, he had no choice but to ask, "Little brother, did Zi Mo offend you? If Zimo has offended you in any way, let''s make it a trivial matter. If you need anything, brother, you can ask us. "


    "Offended me? "No, he didn''t offend me, but he has offended my senior sister!" Yang Li''s voice suddenly turned ice-cold.


    Hearing this, Li Le frowned and turned to ask Zimo, "Zimo, what''s going on?"


    "Senior-apprentice Brother, no, absolutely nothing happened. I am only at the seventh level of the Blood Tempering stage, how could I dare to offend a Spirit Realm character!" Hearing Li Le''s question, Zimo hastily explained, afraid that the two would abandon him.


    "Senior Apprentice Sister Yan Qing, earlier, at the Treasure Pavilion, this Zi Mo and another disciple of the Cloud Sect told me to give you to them."


    "I didn''t agree. Because I was worried about Senior''s health, I only killed one person and ran away. Senior, how do you think we should deal with this?" Yang Li saw that Zi Mo dared not say it out loud, so he sneered in disdain. He turned to Su Wan Qing and said in a clear voice.


    "Hmm?" Since Yang Li had said so, Su Wan Qing recalled the words of the two men in the Mysterious Treasure Pavilion. Her eyes were filled with disgust. It was also due to her injuries, otherwise, she would have gone berserk on the spot.


    "This is bad!" Upon hearing Yang Li''s words, Li Le immediately felt that it was getting worse. Hurriedly, he said, "Since Zi Mo offended Fairy, then we won''t speak any further. Zi Mo, I don''t care. Goodbye."


    Li Le pushed Zi Mo with his palm towards the other two and ran away with the other person.


    Zimo watched the two of them escape. Her eyes were filled with shock and despair. She never thought that Li Le would actually leave her behind.


    Anger immediately rose in his heart. He turned around to look at Yang Li and Su Wanqing and said, "I admit defeat in this matter, but you guys give me some time. I will make both of them pay!" I will end my own life here later! "


    With that, Zi Mo took out his identity plate, intending to tell his fellow sect members about Li Le''s actions. However, Yang Li had directly shattered his identity plate.


    "There''s no need to trouble yourself. The two of them won''t be able to survive either." Yang Li said coldly. He then turned to Su Wanqing and said, "Wanqing, go and leave the other two behind. If you keep your breakthrough a secret, it might have an unexpected effect."


    "Alright." Upon hearing Yang Li''s name, Su Wan Qing ran off in the direction of Li Le and Wang Zhong.


    "What Yang Li said must be right, he definitely won''t lie to me!" This was what Su Wan Qing thought. She trusted Yang Li blindly and listened to him blindly.


    Zi Mo watched Su Wan Qing leave and felt happy. She said to Yang Li, "Brother, let me go after a discussion. I will give you all my treasures!"


    "Even if you die, your treasures will all be mine. You can kill yourself." Yang Li looked at him in disdain, then turned to look in the direction Su Wan Qing had left.


    When Zi Mo heard this, anger rushed to his head as he thought to himself, "A third level Blood Tempering trash dares to talk to me in such a manner? How could I tolerate this!?" How can I endure this! "


    Zi Mo had completely forgotten that Yang Li had killed one of the two of them when they were attacking Yang Li. Moreover, Yang Li was only at the first level of Blood Tempering Stage at that time!


    "Ink Fire Sword Art, Inky Ink!" The enraged Yang Li immediately made his move. His sword stabbed towards Yang Li as pitch black flames burned, as if he wanted to vent all of his anger on Yang Li.


    "How laughable! Fire God Spear Art, Flame Dragon Soars the Sky! " Yang Li disdainfully smiled as he launched his Floating Light Flash, instantly appearing behind Zi Mo and thrusting his spear at him.


    Zi Mo, who had lost his rationality, had no defense and was sent flying by Yang Li.


    Ever since Yang Li had used the Phoenix Blood Rock, he had felt that defeating a seventh level Tempered Blood Tempering martial artist with just his own ability wasn''t a problem. And now, this scene had confirmed his thoughts.


    Zi Mo, who was at the seventh level of the Blood Tempering stage, was severely injured by one of his moves without any defense!


    "Explode!"


    Zimo''s body was torn apart by the explosion, and was once again incinerated by the scorching spiritual energy.


    "You overestimate yourself." Yang Li sneered and continued looking in the direction Su Wanqing had left.


    Not long after, Su Wan Qing came back and saw Yang Li waiting for her. Her heart was sweet as she quickly landed by his side.


    "Done with it?" Yang Li asked gently, as if he was asking if he had eaten or not.


    "Yes." Su Wanqing nodded.


    "Then let''s go."


    Thus, the two of them slowly walked in the other direction.


    "..."


    In Yan Wushuang''s jade slip, there was a detailed description of this place, and at the same time, there was a map.


    In truth, this mystic realm was a sect. The ruins assigned by the Ancient Phoenix Sect''s Southern Flame Region were only buried within a mountain after hundreds of thousands of years of evolution.


    When the Gu Feng Sect was at its most powerful, there were three people who were at the peak of the Dharma Realm. There were nearly ten Dharma Realm people, dozens of half-step Dharma Realm people, and countless people under the half-step Dharma Realm. They shook the entire Southern Domain, and no one dared to provoke them.


    Later on, a calamity descended upon the world. A disciple of the clan managed to provoke a person who was at least half a step into the Emperor God Realm.


    And this secret realm was one of the missions. At that time, the person with the highest cultivation was Yan Wushuang. She was also the one assigned to the Sect Leader and was subordinate to the Sect Leader.


    The map that Yan Wushuang had left behind clearly indicated the locations of the things that might have been left behind by the sect.


    The two of them were currently in the vicinity of the Pill Room, and according to Yan Wushuang''s estimation, even if most of the formations were no longer working, there were still a few places where the formations still had some power.


    The weapons chamber, the training tower, the Scripture Pavilion, the main hall, and the Supreme Elder''s hall, as well as the grand formation at the entrance of the sect, the treasure pavilion, and the pill room, had all been taken by the two.


    The two of them made some plans. They planned to go to the weapon chamber first, then go to the Scripture Pavilion to see if there was anything Yang Li wanted to see to help Feng Er awaken. Su Wan Qing listened to him, and naturally followed him.


    The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked. Suddenly, a message was sent to their identity tokens, "The six from the Firestorm Way are besieging four of us. Four of them are at the ninth level of the Spirit Movement Stage. Please help us quickly!"


    It was a message from Feng Yue. When the Yang Li duo saw this, they immediately changed their direction and rushed towards the sound transmission imprint.


    Before long, they had arrived at their destination. There were a total of four people in the sect, Sikong An, Feng Yue, Yun Ci and Mu Qing, who were tightly restrained by the three disciples of the ninth level of the Spirit Movement.


    In addition, there was also a sixth level Spirit Movement Stage disciple and two seventh level Blood Tempering disciples who were watching from the sidelines, chatting and laughing with each other. They didn''t seem to take them seriously at all.


    When the two of them saw this scene, their hearts were instantly filled with rage. They attacked the few people from the Firestorm Way together.


    "Phoenix Dance Tactic, Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens!" A huge phoenix emerged from Su Wanqing''s body, blazing with flames. Even her eyes were filled with rage.


    Since Su Wan Qing didn''t have time to cultivate Yan Wushuang''s inheritance, she could only use the Phoenix Dance Technique to attack him. However, the cultivation of a Spirit Realm cultivator was not fake. Even if Su Wan Qing didn''t use any techniques, the three of them still wouldn''t be able to beat him.


    At the same time that Su Wanqing''s phoenix rushed towards her opponent, Yang Li also made his move. Yang Li immediately activated his movement technique and attacked the two disciples at the seventh level of the Blood Tempering stage.


    "Divine Flame Spear Technique, Eight Directions Flame Slash." Yang Li dodged to the back of one of them, fiercely thrusting his spear towards his back.


    When the disciples of the Firestorm Way saw that it was a third level Blood Tempering disciple attacking him, they laughed disdainfully and cast a spirit technique to block Yang Li''s attack.


    A lion fighting a rabbit also needed to go all out. Moreover, Yang Li wasn''t a rabbit, but a tiger.


    Yang Li''s spear pierced through his spirit technique and directly struck his body. Flames spread out crazily with his body as the center, attacking the other two disciples.


    Yang Li didn''t give the disciple a chance to react and directly exploded his energy to kill him. Following that, he rushed towards another disciple at the seventh level of the Body Tempering stage.


    "He can''t even withstand a single blow!" As Su Wanqing entered the battle ring, his Spirit Realm cultivation burst out, and in an instant, he had swept away three disciples of the Wind Flame Sect who were at the ninth layer of Spiritual Movement.


    The difference between the Spiritual Movement Stage and the Spirit Stage wasn''t only because of the difference in Spiritual Sense, but also because of the difference in the essence of Spiritual Energy.


    The spiritual energy of the Spirit Realm was liquefied, partly because the human body didn''t have many places to store spiritual energy, and partly because the liquid spiritual energy would be even more powerful.


    Even the diluted spiritual energy was far more lethal than the spiritual energy filled with impurities.


    After Su Wan Qing dealt with the three of them, she walked towards Yang Li. Ever since the incident last time, she was extremely afraid that Yang Li would be in danger.


    Since Su Wanqing was here, the remaining two disciples of the Firestorm Way were not able to raise a single wave. They were trapped and their Qi was thrown to the side.


    Yang Li looked at Su Wan Qing''s back with a helpless expression. He used the Voice Transmission Technique to say, "Xiao Qing, from now on, you don''t have to interfere in my battle, do you understand?"


    "Ah?" "Why?" Su Wanqing asked with a puzzled expression.


    "I want to hone myself by fighting, not be a flower in a greenhouse. If you are like this every time, then we will part ways! I am not a weakling! " Yang Li''s tone was firm and strict.


    "Hm!" In the future, I will not interfere with your battles anymore. I will look forward to your becoming stronger and stronger! " Hearing Yang Li''s words, Su Wan Qing said with a smile.


    "It''s good that you understand." Yang Li also laughed.


    He turned around and walked towards a few of the Firestorm Way disciples.

 C43

    "Senior Sister Su, you''ve broken through to the Spirit Realm?" Gu Yuan and the rest asked. It was obvious that he didn''t dare to believe it.


    "Yes, I broke through by a fluke." Ever since she came here, Su Wan Qing had returned to her normal self. She had always disguised herself as an ice-cold stranger, just to make things difficult for herself.


    "Senior sister Su, why couldn''t I send messages to you and Yang Li earlier? All the other people in the sect have been contacted. Only you two have sent so many messages. It was only this time that you received them. " Feng Yue asked with a puzzled expression.


    "Hmm? Is there such a thing? " Su Wanqing frowned and thought for a while before replying, "Maybe the place we are at is isolated from the flow of information."


    "Oh." Seeing Su Wanqing''s cold expression, Feng Yue did not dare to ask anymore. She just kept her mouth shut.


    At this time, Yang Li also walked in front of the Firestorm Way disciples and coldly said, "Hand over your harvest."


    "Humph!" A few disciples of the Firestorm Way snorted in disdain. They seemed to think that someone at the third level of the Blood Tempering Stage had insulted them by saying such words.


    Gu Yuan and the others also walked over. Although they were unhappy with Yang Li''s decision, they still defended him out of camaraderie, "If I tell you to hand it over, then hand it over. Your Wind Flame Sect and Cloud Mist Sect are merely enemies with our four sects. So what if I kill you guys?"


    "Haha, just shut up. No matter what, we will never hand it over to anyone. Without this Spirit Realm, who do you think you are?" A disciple at the ninth level of the Spirit Movement Stage said, disdainfully looking at them.


    "You''re right, then go die." Yang Li directly thrust his spear towards the throat of this disciple. Sikong An and the rest couldn''t stop him in time. As they watched this disciple being directly beheaded by Yang Li, traces of coldness surfaced in their eyes.


    "You still have one more chance. Hand over your comrades'' treasures and your own treasures to us. Otherwise, we''ll kill each other!" After killing one disciple, Yang Li turned to the other disciples and asked.


    "Even if you kill us all, we won''t give in. Stop dreaming!" Another disciple at the ninth level said.


    "Well said, then go to hell." Yang Li immediately killed three Spirit Movement Stage disciples, leaving only one Blood Tempering Stage disciple.


    The expressions of Gu Yuan''s group turned cold when they saw Yang Li''s actions.


    "Yang Li! What do you want! We are still here, yet you are ignoring us? Sikong An''s voice was faintly filled with anger.


    "Yang Li, should you do such a thing as forcing your way through? Senior Sister Su is still here, how can you open your mouth! " Gu Yuan''s voice had also turned cold.


    Yang Li was stunned when he heard their words. He turned around to look at Su Wanqing and suddenly laughed, "Then the last one is yours. I will leave first. Goodbye."


    Su Wan Qing initially wanted to protect him, but she felt something was wrong and didn''t say anything. Hearing that Yang Li was leaving, she became anxious.


    He asked with a voice transmission, "Junior brother, where are you going?"


    Yang Li didn''t reply and just left. Su Wan Qing wanted to give chase, but she stopped herself.


    She was well aware of just how much direct disciples despised the outer court disciples. If she caught up to them like this and spread the news, then once Yang Li entered the inner court, he would definitely be targeted!


    At this time, Sikong An coldly looked at Feng Yue and said, "A third level Blood Tempering disciple being so arrogant ¡­ Heh, you outer court disciples are really capable!"


    When Feng Yue heard this, her face turned unsightly. She was just about to speak when she heard Su Wan Qing say, "The cultivation of the outer sect disciples is just a bit low. Is it related to their strength?"


    When Sikong An heard this, he could not understand it. He did not know why Su Wanqing would defend Yang Li, but he opened his mouth and did not say anything.


    "If you could fight three Blood Tempering disciples at the third level and also kill one disciple at the seventh level of the Blood Tempering stage, then I presume you would be even more arrogant than him. If Yang Li were to disobey the sect rules because of your actions, then you could consider the consequences yourself."


    Su Wan Qing threw down those words and chased after Yang Li.


    "This ¡­" Only now did Sikong An and Gu Yuan remember that when Yang Li arrived, he had directly killed a disciple from the Firestorm Way who was at the seventh level of the Blood Tempering stage.


    Seeing Su Wan Qing chasing Yang Li, Sikong An and the rest could not help but sigh. Although they knew Su Wan Qing was right, they still felt uncomfortable.


    Even if Yang Li had talent, he was currently only at the third level of the Blood Tempering stage. Not to mention he was an outer court disciple, so there was a huge gap between his status and theirs.


    "..."


    Su Wanqing''s cultivation base was much higher than Yang Li''s. She could easily catch up to him without activating her movement technique. Furthermore, she knew that Yang Li needed to go to the weapons chamber, so it didn''t take her long to catch up.


    Su Wan Qing chased after Yang Li. She maintained the same speed as him and asked, "Junior Brother, are you angry?"


    "Nope, late Qing, what are you thinking about?" Yang Li looked at Su Wan Qing and said with a smile.


    "Then why did you leave so quickly?" Su Wan Qing heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Yang Li''s reaction.


    "Those top disciples have already expressed their disapproval towards me. If I continue to stay, I will suffer. I might as well do what I have to do."


    "Furthermore, you have a kind heart. If the later stages make things difficult for me, you will definitely protect me."


    "If your actions are spread out by them, I will be targeted. Although I am not afraid, it is too troublesome." Yang Li''s voice revealed a strong confidence.


    "It''s good that you understand, junior apprentice-brother." Su Wan Qing was ecstatic to hear Yang Li''s words.


    "Wenqing, I understand some things even without you saying it. It''s just that I need some time right now. I need to work hard to grow, until no one dares to criticize me!"


    "You have to believe me," he said. "This day won''t be far off. Wait for me. Give me some time to grow." Yang Li laughed.


    "Good!" I will wait for you to fully mature and stand shoulder to shoulder with me. I also believe that with your innate ability, this day will not be too long in the future! " Su Wan Qing''s words were full of certainty and trust for Yang Li.


    "Mm, then you can go back first. Later, you can try to bring them to the Scripture Pavilion and see if they can find anything. I''ll go to the weapons chamber first."


    "Alright, I''ll be going then. I''ll wait for you." After Su Wan Qing finished her sentence, she turned around and left.


    Yang Li watched Su Wan Qing''s back as she left, and revealed a faint smile. He then rushed towards the weapons chamber.


    "..."


    After Yang Li arrived at the secret room for weapons, he used the method that Yan Wushuang had given him to enter. Fortunately, no one had come to this place yet.


    There were already weapons on display in the weapons room, and there was even an unfinished prototype on the forging table.


    It seemed to be a furnace for quenching purposes and the flame had already been extinguished. Yang Li glanced at the weapon rack and a stream of Spiritual Energy gently floated over.


    As expected, all the weapons turned into fine powder as they flowed in the air.


    "Sigh, as expected, no matter what it is, it can''t stop the erosion of time. Let''s see if there''s anything protected by the formation." Yang Li sighed and walked inside.


    There were dozens of forging rooms in the weapons chamber. Presumably, all of the disciples of the Ancient Wind Sect who had learned how to forge back then had forged in this room.


    Even after hundreds of thousands of years, he could still vaguely sense that sharp aura.


    Yang Li wandered around the weapon training room, but didn''t find anything useful.


    "Hmm? There are some ripples! " As Yang Li was walking around, he suddenly felt a wave of energy fluctuations come from the forging room to his left.


    Yang Li decisively pushed open the door and discovered that there was a formation inside that emitted a weak fluctuation.


    On the wall of the formation, there was a line of words.


    "Spirit Summoning Array: If a weapon does not have a Weapon Spirit, it can be slowly nurtured with the help of this formation. Depending on the material''s quality, the nurturing time will be different. If you already have an artifact spirit, you can use it to evolve or awaken an artifact spirit! "


    As Yang Li saw these last words, he was overjoyed. There was hope for Feng''er to awaken!


    Yang Li did not hesitate to take out the supine phoenix spear and place it in the center of the array formation. He wanted to see if this array formation still had a corresponding function after so long.


    At this moment, a stiff female voice entered his ears, "Spirit stones are insufficient, I am unable to raise a Weapon Spirit."


    "Hmm? What is that sound! " Yang Li frowned and looked around. However, other than the Spirit Summoning Array, there was nothing else in the room.


    "I don''t have enough spirit stones, so I can''t raise a Weapon Spirit." That stiff voice sounded once again.


    Yang Li carefully listened in the direction that the sound came from, and impressively it was the Spirit Summoning Array!


    "Could it be a formation genie?" As Yang Li thought this, it was because array spirits rarely appeared. Basically, every array spirit required an extremely large amount of resources to grow, and they were extremely costly.


    But then he thought, with such a big sect like the Gu Feng Sect, it was not impossible for them to have a formation genie.


    "But how can I place the spirit stones in there?" Yang Li felt a headache coming on. He couldn''t find any place to place the Spirit Stones. He simply took out the Spirit Stones from his ring and threw them towards the formation.


    A gentle light flashed, and the spirit stone disappeared.


    Before long, the stiff voice spoke again, "Not enough spirit stones, I am unable to raise a spirit artifact."


    When Yang Li saw this, he immediately threw in ten thousand spirit stones he had obtained from the Treasure Pavilion. The array immediately glowed with light and accepted the spirit stones Yang Li had thrown in.


    However, in less than a quarter of an hour, that voice sounded again, becoming gentle and pleasant to the ear. "Spirit stones are insufficient, I am unable to raise a Weapon Spirit."


    Yang Li felt a headache as he threw in another 10,000 Spirit Stones. This time, his Spirit Stones had shrunk to two-thirds and he only had 18,000 Spirit Stones left.


    This time, the sound didn''t ring out again and the array formation began to operate faster. The surrounding spiritual energy was constantly being absorbed by the spear.


    Even this forging room was filled to the brim with spiritual energy, nearly five times the density of the outside world.


    "I already have an artifact spirit. The artifact spirit is too weak, so I estimate that it will take ten days for it to recover." A completely different sound rang out. It was extremely pleasant to listen to, but there seemed to be some similarities between them.


    When Yang Li heard this, he instantly felt some comfort. He sat down and relied on the rich spirit energy in the cultivation room to begin cultivating.

 C44

    On the eighth day, Yang Li felt the beast skin in his spatial ring tremble. Yang Li''s mind moved, and found that the beast skin could enter again. He took out the beast skin, and easily infused his spirit energy into the ancient secret location.


    The secret location of the ancient times was still the same as before. Ten great suns covered the sky, and in the middle of the suns, there was the vague shape of a bird. It seemed to be the legendary Golden Crow.


    His spiritual energy was just like the previous times, rich and irritable.


    According to the records, the density of spiritual energy in the secret location of the ancient times was ten times more than it is now.


    However, Yang Li, who had experienced five times training speed, felt that it was a bit strange. In the outside world, even five times the spiritual energy would only be able to speed up his progress by half.


    Judging from this ratio, the spiritual power in the mysterious land should only be able to speed up his progress by twofold, and wouldn''t be enough to speed up his progress.


    However, every time he entered, an unknown voice would slowly fill up his mind with the Flame God Incantation.


    Moreover, the Spiritual Energy also entered his body at an extremely fast speed, causing his cultivation technique circulation speed to increase.


    Even this time was no exception.


    Late stage of the third level of the Blood Tempering stage ¡­


    Early stage of the fourth level of the Blood Tempering Stage.


    "..."


    Early stage of the fifth level of the Blood Tempering Stage.


    His progress this time was clearly slower than before. In front of him, he would raise his cultivation by two whole levels and six small realms. However, this time, it was only five small realms.


    "Probably because of the animal skin." Yang Li thought.


    Only after Yang Li left his cultivation state did he realize that there were still a few minutes until he left the Ancient Secret Grounds. He couldn''t help but think of that person he saw when he first entered.


    Yang Li couldn''t help but have an idea to explore this world. As soon as this thought appeared, he immediately used his movement technique to rush down the mountain and turn it into action.


    "What is this aura?" When Yang Li descended from the mountain peak, he felt an aura attracting him. Every time the aura descended, it would become denser by several hundred feet. He couldn''t help but feel extremely puzzled.


    However, this mountain was truly too big. Before he even walked halfway, he was directly pushed out and the aura also disappeared with him.


    Yang Li, who had returned to the forging room, first stabilized his cultivation with all his might. It took him an hour to completely stabilize his cultivation.


    He started to look at the Flame God Incantation inside his body. The Flame God Incantation gave him a feeling that he had already reached the Earth Stage Mid Rank.


    After entering the Ancient Secret Grounds a few times, the cultivation technique inside his body went from a first-rate cultivation technique to an Earth Realm Mid Rank cultivation technique.


    Furthermore, according to Yan Wushuang, the Flame God Incantation was originally a king level technique. In the current era, the cultivation technique used to be a king level technique, but it was slowly being repaired.


    "When my cultivation technique has been perfected into a king level cultivation technique, how many people in this world can contend against me?" Yang Li smiled confidently.


    After he finished inspecting everything, Yang Li glanced over at the crouching Phoenix spear within the array formation. The originally dull and dull crouching Phoenix spear had turned a deep crimson. It was about the same color as when he first obtained it.


    However, the array formation would only stop in two days. At that time, the power of the spear would increase by a lot.


    "It''s better to continue cultivating. My cultivation base is too low, I have to make the best use of my time." With this thought in mind, Yang Li once again sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.


    Two days passed in the blink of an eye. When Yang Li felt the formation stop, he immediately opened his eyes.


    Unable to wait any longer to retrieve the spear, he was surprised to find that there was an eight to nine year old girl sitting on the spear with her eyes closed. Her face was like that of a porcelain doll, and she wore a fiery red dress.


    When Yang Li saw this, he was also a little stunned. He also retracted his hand that was about to reach for his spear, quietly observing the situation.


    After an unknown amount of time, the little girl opened her eyes. Her bright eyes looked at Yang Li and sweetly called out, "Master!"


    "Feng Er?" Yang Li was completely stupefied. He felt this was a bit inconceivable. Wasn''t Feng''er a spear spirit? How did he become a person?


    "Feng''er, are you a human or a spear spirit?" Yang Li struggled to open his mouth.


    "I am a spear spirit. Master, have you forgotten?" As Feng''er heard Yang Li ask this, she looked at him with a puzzled expression.


    "Then why are you like this now?" Yang Li''s eyes were filled with despair. It was truly difficult for such a cute little girl to be associated with a peerlessly powerful spear.


    He even had the urge to never use the Lying Phoenix Spear again in the future.


    "Master, you are so stupid! I''m in the Spirit Transformation state! "Hee hee." When Feng''er heard Yang Li''s words, she seemed to suddenly come to a realization and giggled.


    "Right now I''m in the spirit body state. I can''t even touch it. Hehe."


    "Fine." Yang Li still found it hard to accept this. His face was filled with embarrassment.


    Feng''er saw Yang Li''s expression and thought that Yang Li didn''t like her. Her mouth curled up and water splashed from her eyes. She said, feeling wronged, "Master, don''t you like me?"


    "No, no!" Absolutely not! " When Yang Li saw that Feng''er was about to cry, he panicked and quickly opened his mouth to speak.


    Suddenly, a beautiful figure appeared beside Feng''er. Her face was extremely delicate and beautiful, as if she was sculpted from heaven. She wore a white dress, her eyes and teeth white, and her lips slightly red.


    Yang Li saw another figure appear, and it was an even more beautiful woman. He could not help but stare with his mouth wide open as his mind turned into a paste. He could not understand what was going on.


    At this moment, the woman opened her mouth and said with a voice like a lake in a hollow valley, "Hello, I am the Spiritual Summoning Array Spirit Child. Thank you for your Spirit Stones."


    "You''re welcome. It''s only right." Yang Li said in a wooden tone, he did not know what he had said.


    "It seems like you don''t know much about the Spirit. Let me explain it to you." Ling''er glanced at Yang Li and spoke indifferently.


    "All things have a spirit. An artifact spirit. A formation spirit. A pill spirit. Even the plants have their own spirit."


    "Spirit is divided into three types. Elementary spirit, wisdom spirit, and spirit transformation. There is another form, but it can''t be considered as spirit. Instead, it''s someone who can truly be considered human."


    "Elementary spirits refer to weapons, elixirs, formations, and the initial spirituality of plants and vegetation. Elementary spirits only follow the nature and do some things, but this type of spirit will slowly evolve into an intellectual spirit through the nurturing of its master or the nourishment of the spiritual energy of the world."


    "Wisdom spirits possess their own intelligence. They can think and remember. Everything is like a human, just that they don''t have their own body."


    "Once again, a spirit has undergone a nurturing and evolution. This is the final stage of a spirit, Spirit Transformation. Spirit transformation refers to a spirit that already has its own body. For example, Feng Er and I."


    "I can create a body to observe this world, and everything will be the same as a person''s. However, no one has a cultivation base, and in the end, that''s the only thing I''ll be able to do for the rest of my life."


    "There are spirits that have existed for generations, and they even witnessed the great changes that have occurred on this continent. Even now, they still haven''t passed away."


    "Of course, although Spirit Transformation can go anywhere, if one is too far away from the main body, there is no way for them to use the main body to attack. Moreover, their main body can''t move, so if no one takes them away, they can only stay in one place for the rest of their lives."


    "The other type is humans. All spirits stop when they reach the Spirit Transformation realm. Although they have long memories and human forms, they are not the same person."


    To become a human, one has to pay a huge price. Not only do most of their memories disappear, they also need a lot of materials to help them grow up. Once they transform into a human, they have to start training like a human.


    "Otherwise, one will die of old age. Almost all spirits will not turn into human beings unless it is absolutely necessary. This is spirit. Do you understand it now?"


    After Yang Li heard Ling''er''s words, he nodded, indicating that he understood.


    "You seem to think that Feng Er''s actions will affect your usage, but it''s actually not like that. It''s only because Feng Er is currently within the Spiritual Summoning Array that she appeared, leaving the Spiritual Summoning Array. Feng Er has no way of manifesting her body."


    "Spirit can also be injured. If you overdraw your body''s power, or if your body suffers a huge blow, then your spirit will be injured. Feng Er''s injuries are extremely serious, and even I don''t have the confidence to quickly cure her, so I can only take it slowly."


    When Yang Li heard these words, he glanced at Feng''er. Feng''er''s face was blank as she listened to Ling''er''s words, as if she didn''t know what Ling''er was talking about.


    Ling''er rubbed Feng''er''s head and sighed. "Feng Er''s memories are missing. Based on the interactions I''ve had with her over the past few days, she has lost a large portion of her memories. Her memories will only recover if she recovers from her injuries."


    "I heard Feng''er say that she said that she hasn''t recovered yet, but she didn''t say that she was injured." Yang Li said.


    When Feng''er heard Yang Li mention her, she turned her head to look at Ling''er. Her large eyes were filled with reliance and even a hint of grievance. Yang Li''s expression just now had made her extremely sad.


    As Yang Li saw Feng''er''s expression, his heart couldn''t help but soften. Ling''er''s explanation also let him know why Feng''er was in such a state.


    "Actually, you don''t have to care too much about Feng Er''s form. Even if Feng Er really regains her Spirit Transformation state, it will not affect you in the slightest. On the contrary, she will be of great help to you." Ling''er spoke again.


    "However, as for how much help I can give you, I will need Feng Er to completely recover her Spirit Transformation state before I can find out."


    Yang Li nodded, indicating that he understood.


    Actually, when Ling''er said that Feng Er would return to her original form once she left the array, he had already given up on the Phoenix Spear.


    On the contrary, after hearing what Ling''er said, he actually had a very strong urge to help Feng''er recover her spirit transformation state. This was not only because of what the spear had given him, but also because of Feng''er.


    For someone who could roam the world freely, a serious injury could only happen within a spear, returning to the cage from the world. That sort of feeling was extremely terrifying just thinking about it.


    Furthermore, according to what Ling''er said, even if Ling''er were to leave the spear, it wouldn''t have much of an impact on him. On the contrary, it would be of great help to him.


    With that in mind, Yang Li bowed towards Ling''er and said, "Many thanks to Miss Ling''er for your guidance."


    Seeing his reaction, Ling''er knew that he had thought it through, so she nodded and said with a chuckle, "I should be thanking you. Even though I am just a formation genie, my original body needs spirit stones to maintain its circulation. I cannot operate on my own and will never die, so I can only rely on the weak spiritual energy in this place to survive."


    "If it wasn''t for your Spirit Stones, I might have disappeared along with this place. Furthermore, you gave me hope to leave." As she spoke to here, Ling''er''s voice changed as she gravely said, "I heard from Feng''er that your name is Yang Li. Yang Li, are you willing to bring me out of this place?"

 C45

    Yang Li didn''t know how to take a weapon away, but he did not know how to do so when the array formation was taken away.


    "Miss Ling''er, I really want to bring you away, but what should I do?" Yang Li asked awkwardly.


    "That''s not a problem. I will turn my body into a formation plate and possess it. It will be fine as long as you leave the formation plate." Ling''er spoke extremely plainly. It seemed that she was already prepared to leave.


    "Do you have any other questions?" Ling''er asked.


    Yang Li thought for a moment, then asked, "Miss Ling''er, I wonder if Feng''er can recover from the formation you created? I''ll give you the spirit stones if you need them. "


    "Of course. If you bring me away, I will definitely return the favor. I will leave with you and you will take control of me. You can rest assured of that." Ling''er nodded.


    "Alright, then I''ll have to thank Miss Ling''er." Yang Li asked without any doubt.


    "En, that''s right. If you want Feng''er to recover faster, aside from using my main body to nurture her, it would be best for you to find more ores and demon cores for her. The higher the level, the better." Ling''er suddenly said.


    "Understood. Thank you, Miss Ling''er." Yang Li replied once again.


    Ling''er nodded and immediately disappeared. Yang Li only saw that the array formation that had occupied the entire chamber suddenly began to shrink. Not long after, it was only the size of a plate.


    At this time, a dazzling light bloomed and the array formation disappeared. There was only the appearance of a simple stone platform in front of Yang Li.


    A mysterious feeling seeped out from the stone platform. In the middle of the stone platform, there was a fiery red long spear.


    A sound transmission entered his mind at the same time.


    "Yang Li, I''m not bragging. I''m the only one in this world with a Spirit Summoning Array. If you can''t protect me well, then don''t blame me for choosing someone else."


    Yang Li solemnly replied, "Lady Ling''er can be at ease. Time will prove my ability."


    "I believe in you, your talent is extremely outstanding amongst the geniuses, if you do not die early, you will definitely reach the peak. Otherwise, even if it is destroyed, I will not leave with you, I will continue to accompany Feng''er, if you need me, I will silently say goodbye in my heart." Ling''er''s gentle laughter rang out before disappearing without a trace.


    "If I don''t have the ability to protect you, then who can protect you in this world!"


    Yang Li put away the array disc, and a strong sense of confidence filled the air. If anyone saw Yang Li at this time, they would sigh with emotion. Although he was only at the fifth level of the Blood Tempering Stage, he was confident that he could become a supreme cultivator.


    "..."


    "Strange, why is there no one here?" After Yang Li left the weapon chamber, he rushed towards the Scripture Pavilion. This was because every sect''s Scripture Pavilion was the most tightly guarded sect with the most perfect formations. There was a chance that a suitable cultivation method might appear.


    However, on his way to the Scripture Pavilion, he didn''t feel a single person''s aura. The entire secret realm was so empty that it was terrifying. There wasn''t even the slightest sound. This caused Yang Li to feel somewhat suspicious.


    At this moment, he suddenly felt a violent spiritual energy fluctuation in front of him, as if someone was fighting.


    Yang Li displayed his movement technique and immediately rushed out, planning to wait for both sides to finish their fight before asking about the situation in the secret realm.


    When he arrived, he discovered that there were four people dressed in the apparel of Cloud Mist Sect disciples surrounding and attacking the three people from Green Flame Sect and Fire Li Sect. All seven of them were in the Blood Tempering realm, but the cultivation of the disciples from the Cloud Mist Sect was a bit higher, and there were three disciples at the ninth level of the Blood Tempering Stage and one disciple at the seventh level of the Blood Tempering Realm.


    The Cloud Mist Sect had two disciples at the ninth level of Blood Tempering and one disciple at the eighth level of the Blood Tempering realm. The difference in strength between the two groups wasn''t that great.


    Hehe, you guys still want to help the Sky Mist Sect? "It''s better if all of you stay here!" A disciple of the Cloud Faction mocked.


    "So what if I stay? Our four sects have a total of 130 disciples. Even if some of them fell due to the secret realm, there should still be at least these 100 disciples. Your two sects only have around seventy or eighty disciples. A Qingyan Sect disciple laughed coldly.


    "Then you don''t need to worry about it. Hehe, you can just stay here. Once we enter the secret realm, how can we not be prepared for it?" Another disciple of the Cloud Sect interjected.


    "They don''t need to stay, you all stay! Fire God Spear Art, Flame Dragon Soars the Sky! " Yang Li originally hadn''t planned to take action, but after hearing the others'' conversations, he gave up on the idea of watching the fierce battle from the sidelines. He directly sent out a Flame Dragon into the sky, attacking a Ninth Layer Blood Tempering disciple.


    Upon hearing Yang Li''s words, the people from the Cloud Sect turned their heads and discovered that Yang Li was only at the fifth level of the Blood Tempering Stage. They could not help but laugh wickedly. "Crimson Sun Saber Technique, Crimson Sun Slash!"


    An extremely sharp crescent-shaped blade aura rushed towards Yang Li, but Yang Li only laughed in disdain. With a flash of light, he directly appeared in front of the ninth level of the Blood Tempering Realm disciple.


    The roaring fire dragon rushed towards the disciple''s chest with an unstoppable momentum. Although the disciple was a bit shocked, he didn''t panic at all and immediately used a defensive spirit art.


    "Scarlet Moon Saber Technique, Scarlet Sun Diagram!" A fiery red sun suddenly appeared in front of him, directly blocking Yang Li''s attack. Yang Li, on the other hand, was barely holding on, and had faint signs of breaking.


    "Is that not okay? "Flame God Spear Art, Nirvana Flames!" Yang Li laughed coldly as a bright line of fire burst forth from the tip of his spear. It pierced through the defensive spirit art of the Cloud Mist Sect disciples, and then pierced through his chest.


    "Explode!"


    While he was ill, Yang Li was able to fully display his strength. There was no need for pity or soft-heartedness in the battlefield, he could directly activate the explosive power of the Flame God Incantation and kill him.


    Two moves, slain one person!


    The other disciples didn''t even have time to react before one of them was killed.


    "Be careful, this kid is very strong. However, he took advantage of Miao Hao''s carelessness and managed to succeed in two moves. Just be careful." A Cloud Sky Sect disciple said calmly.


    "Understood!" The other two disciples of the Cloud Sect responded in unison.


    However, they had forgotten something else. None of the members of the Green Flame Sect or Fire Li Sect had died!


    When the other three saw that their side had come to their aid and had killed one instantly, their morale was greatly boosted. They attacked the three people from the Cloud Mist Sect with their spiritual arts without regard for their lives, exuding an extremely ferocious aura.


    The pressure on the three of them increased in that moment.


    "Flame Destroying Sky!" As he activated the fifth stance of the Flame God Spear Art, black flames danced on the ground, boiling the air and increasing the pressure on the three from the Cloud Sect.


    "Senior brother, I can''t take it anymore, my spiritual power is almost exhausted." A disciple at the seventh level of the Blood Tempering realm said.


    When the other two heard his words, they became silent, but continued to respond to Yang Li''s group''s attacks.


    Before long, the spirit power of the disciple from the Cloud Sect was completely depleted and he had no way to defend himself.


    Just as Yang Li was about to go up and kill him, that disciple suddenly roared: "Senior Brother, help me tell my master that I did not embarrass him!"


    After saying that, his body immediately flushed red, Yang Li''s pupils constricted, and he quickly retreated, shouting at the others: "Quickly retreat! He''s going to self-destruct! "


    A few people retreated in a hurry, while the two men from the Cloud Mist Sect looked at the disciple with bloodshot eyes.


    "Bastard, go to hell!" The disciple charged at the Azure Flame Sect disciple.


    "Bam!"


    The disciple''s body exploded like a firework. The few people from the Green Flame Sect couldn''t dodge in time, so they had no choice but to use their defensive spirit arts in order to defend against the disciple''s explosion.


    For a person at the seventh level of the Blood Tempering realm to self-destruct, even a Spiritual Movement Stage Initial Phase expert would have to pay attention. A slight mistake could lead to his death.


    Because Yang Li discovered that something was wrong, he retreated a long time ago. The two disciples at the ninth level of the Blood Tempering Stage retreated quickly as well. Only the disciple at the eighth level had no time to dodge and was forced to defend.


    However, he was still unable to escape misfortune, and died under that disciple''s self-detonation.


    "If I don''t die, I''ll definitely chase down and kill members of your four mid-sized Sects for the rest of my life!" When the remaining two men from the Cloud Mist Sect saw this, they spat out words and turned to flee.


    When Yang Li saw the two of them running away and was about to circulate his spirit energy to chase after them to prevent future troubles, a disciple of the Azure Flame Sect opened his mouth and said, "Brother, don''t chase them. After this secret realm is over, we and the two great sects are destined to fight to the death.


    When Yang Li heard this, he frowned and asked, "Why do you say that?"


    That disciple bitterly laughed: "First of all, thank you brother for saving my life. I am Xiao Chang, this is a long story, we should hurry over as we walk."


    "That''s good as well. Let''s go." The three of them quickly headed in the direction Xiao Chang had pointed out.


    "..."


    "Brother Yang Li, the situation is like this. Su Wanqing from your sect coincidentally entered the secret realm and obtained a half a technique. Furthermore, it is the most important inner force technique."


    "After the two great sects found out about this, they began to gather their fellow sect members to annihilate the noble sects. Even though Fairy Su has already reached the Spirit Realm, she still couldn''t stop the two great sects from besieging them."


    "We can only use magical equipment to barely protect the dozen or so disciples of your sect, and then be completely surrounded by the people of the two great sects."


    "Originally, the two great sects had sealed off the news, but the disciples of your sect weren''t completely surrounded. There are also people like you who are still outside."


    "When the disciples outside found out about this news, they found disciples of our sects and rushed over after informing us about it."


    "We, the four sects, have always been one and the same. We''ve also hastily gathered our fellow disciples from all over the place. Who would''ve thought that we''d be stopped by the three people from the Cloud Mist Sect just as we arrived?"


    "It''s also because our skills are lacking. Otherwise, we wouldn''t have been obstructed for such a long time." Xiao Chang sighed.


    "Half Martial Arts, is it worth the two great sects to deal with it like this? All the sects should have a half-step skill book, right? " Yang Li felt somewhat puzzled.


    "Bro, you don''t know. Although our four major sects have semi-magical power techniques, they are all martial arts and not inner force skills."


    "Moreover, if Fairy Su were to obtain this half-step inner force skill, it would mean that our four great sects would have obtained it all at the same time. This also means that in a few more years, the entire South Fire Region will become one of the six great sects!"


    "Furthermore, our four great sects share the same qi, and there is a high possibility that we can even form one sect!" Xiao Chang''s voice was filled with seriousness.


    "Brother Xiao means that the two great sects do not wish to have one or four sects on equal footing with them and have them gather their disciples to attack our Sky Mist Sect. Is it because they are afraid that Senior Su will take the Qi Method out?" With Yang Li''s intelligence, he was naturally able to easily guess what the two great sects were thinking.


    "Brother Yang is right, just like that." Xiao Chang nodded.


    The three of them did not stop and they were not far from the Scripture Pavilion. Yang Li was also worried. Not to mention the other disciples, just Su Wanqing alone was enough to make him worry.


    It didn''t take long for them to feel the violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations in front of them. The tyrannical and chaotic aura, without exception, indicated that there was a great sect battle that they had never seen before!

 C46

    When Yang Li and the rest rushed to the battlefield, the disciples on both sides were engaged in a chaotic battle. Powerful fluctuations would sweep out from time to time, and all sorts of brilliant spirit arts would bloom; there would be disciples that would fall down from time to time.


    High up in the sky, besides Su Wanqing, there were three other Spirit Realm disciples. One was Yun Ci, and the other two were disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect and the Wind Flame Sect.


    This proved that there were many fortuitous encounters in the secret realm. Not only Su Xiaqing had broken through to the Spirit Realm, but Yun Ci and the rest had also had their own fortuitous encounters.


    The battle in the sky was intense too, but it was clear that Su Wanqing was stronger. Moreover, Yun Ci and Su Wanqing had known each other for a long time. They worked together, and the advantage was slanted towards the two of them.


    When the three of them arrived at the battlefield, they saw the scene in front of them. Their eyes turned red as they charged towards the battlefield below.


    "Flame Destroying Sky!" The black flames churned once more as they ferociously charged towards the disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect, as if they were about to burn them all down.


    Yang Li continued to linger around the battlefield. He wouldn''t be able to participate in the High School''s battles, but his cultivation was comparable to the ninth level of the Blood Tempering Stage.


    "Hahahaha, I, Wang Dao, will not regret this!" Yang Li suddenly heard a rough roar and turned his head to look. His eyes instantly turned red.


    Wang Dao''s entire body surged with spirit energy, emitting a shocking red color. This was the sign of self-detonation!


    "Bam!"


    An explosion sounded as one of the Cloud Mist Sect disciples that were charging toward him was heavily injured. Another disciple said coldly, "Trash!"


    "Nirvana Flames!" Yang Li immediately used his movement technique and fiercely attacked in that direction.


    The bright flames formed a straight line, carrying Yang Li''s anger as they pierced through at an extremely fast speed.


    At this time, a mocking voice rang out, "The trash of the Sky Mist Sect, at the fifth level of the Blood Tempering Stage, do not stay here any longer! The combined sword technique will definitely be part of it! "


    Two sword Qis intertwined together and fiercely attacked Yang Li, accompanied by a sharp sonic boom and a heart palpitating sharpness.


    Second level of the Spiritual Movement Stage! Yang Li felt his cultivation become stronger, and became even angrier.


    "Who gave you courage to reach the second level of the Spiritual Movement Stage!?" You dare to challenge me! "Blood Explosion!" Yang Li directly displayed his bloodline martial art, and the aura from his body gradually rose. Very quickly, he had reached the ninth level of the Blood Tempering Stage.


    Yang Li stared coldly at the disciple at the Spiritual Movement Stage. He casted the Floating Light Shadow and his entire body disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already behind the disciple at the Cloud Mist Sect. Under his rage, Yang Li''s Floating Light Shadow had broken through to the third realm!


    "Go to hell! the flame dragon soars into the sky! " The Fire Dragon emerged from the spear. Its eyes were deep and deep, with a faint trace of anger in them.


    "Roar!"


    The fire dragon suddenly let out a deafening roar and charged straight at this disciple. His defensive spirit technique did not have the slightest effect and was smashed into pieces by the fire dragon''s head. Following that, a fierce flame erupted and engulfed the disciple.


    Yang Li raised his spear and picked up the heavily injured disciple from the Cloud Mist Sect. A cruel look appeared in his eyes as he viciously flung the disciple towards the disciples from the Cloud Mist Sect and the Wind Flame Sect.


    "Explode!"


    The two people who had received this disciple were blasted away by the explosive power of the Flame God Incantation. Even more of the Cloud Mist Sect disciples had their eyes turn red as they shot towards Yang Li.


    Yang Li showed no fear as he charged towards them. He was only at the ninth level of the Blood Tempering Stage, but he was fighting against an enemy at the first or second level of the Spirit Movement Stage.


    When the people from the Four Major Sects saw this, they could not help but roar out, "So what if you''re from two major sects? Overbearing! Not fair! "Dang Dang!"


    Spirit arts bloomed as they shot out one by one towards the disciples of the two great sects.


    Yang Li also saw the so-called outer sect assassin Xu Ke mysteriously appear next to each disciple of the two great sects. Even though his cultivation wasn''t strong enough to kill the other, he was still healing the wounds of the other side.


    The charming smile that Feng Yue normally would see on her face had also disappeared now. Her blood-red eyes and bloody green clothes all expressed her anger and killing intent.


    "Bam!"


    A huge sound suddenly exploded in the sky, followed by an intense fluctuation that attracted everyone''s attention.


    "Sky Mist Sect!" Qing Yan Sect! Fire Li Sect! Blood Sun Valley! We, the two great sects, will remember what happened today! In the future, there would definitely be a generous reward! Fog and wind, fire! "Retreat!" A shrill howl came from the sky as a Spirit Realm disciple of the Cloud Mist Sect had one of his arms chopped off, causing blood to flow non-stop.


    When the disciples of the two sects fighting below saw this scene, they ruthlessly hacked out a spirit art. Some people angrily said, "Four hundred people will definitely pay for the revenge of forty brothers!" The disciples of the two sects quickly retreated.


    The disciples below were about to give chase, but they were stopped by a loud shout from high up in the sky.


    "Don''t chase after a desperate enemy, he still has more than thirty disciples. If we chase after him, our remaining eighty disciples will be reduced by at least half, and the gains won''t make up for the losses." Even though her voice was clear and melodious, it carried an indescribable tiredness.


    Yang Li looked up and saw Su Wanqing''s pale face and trembling arms. He could not help but feel his heart ache.


    "Clean up our fellow disciples and don''t let them return home bleeding. Remember to tell them that we''ve won." Yun Ci said with a trembling voice as she looked down at the bloody battlefield. Tears rolled down her face uncontrollably from her closed eyes.


    On the battlefield after the war, there were dozens of corpses lying all over the place. Many of them had tears in their eyes as they searched for the corpses of their peers. Every time a corpse was propped up, they would softly say, "Brother (sister), we won.


    After hearing these words, some of the disciples, who had died with grievances, actually slowly closed their eyes, causing some female disciples, who had weak emotions, to shed tears and close their eyes, not daring to look at the battlefield.


    Many disciples took out clothes that they were going to change into and put them on their fellow disciples, "Brother, if you want to clean yourself up, you have to clean yourself up. How can you be so unkempt?" Some disciples said with tears in their eyes.


    After an unknown period of time, all of the corpses of the disciples of the four sects were tidied up. Their clothes were all extremely clean, and the blood on their bodies was also washed clean by the disciples'' spirit energy.


    Even so, there were still some disciples who had lost arms or legs that had traces of blood seeping out of them, slowly dyeing their clothes red.


    At this time, the disciples leading the four sects were gathered together, and each of them spoke in a heavy voice about the number of deaths in their sect.


    "Sky Mist Sect, heavily injured three people, dead fifteen. The remaining ten, two of them are missing." Sikong An closed his eyes and said, after which he let out a long sigh. None of the disciples of the Sky Mist Sect had been seriously injured, and they all had more or less wounds on their bodies.


    "One person from Blood Sun Valley was severely injured, and ten people died. As for the remaining sixteen, three of them are missing."


    "Two people from the Fire Li Sect were severely injured, and thirteen people died. The rest of the twenty-two are missing."


    "No one in the Qingyan Sect is seriously injured. Nine people have died. The rest of the nineteen are missing. The whereabouts of two people are unknown."


    In one battle, a total of forty-seven disciples died. Excluding the disciples who were severely injured, there were only sixty-seven disciples who could fight, and the reason why there were so few serious injuries was because a large majority of the disciples chose to self-destruct when they saw that they were about to die.


    The leading disciples of the four sects were silent. At this time, Su Wan Qing walked over, her voice was filled with exhaustion and sorrow, but also an unquestionable tone, "My fellow disciples, please do not forget to arrange the rest of your junior brothers and sisters to meditate and rest, in order to recover."


    "It''s almost time for the secret realm to leave. This matter started because of our Sky Mist Sect. Our Sect Leader will give you three sects a satisfactory answer. I''m sorry!" Su Wanqing bowed deeply.


    At this moment, her heart was filled with incomparable sorrow. The miserable deaths of her fellow sect members and the exhaustion from the great battle had caused her hatred for the two great sects to rise every day.


    "Fairy Su, you have truly troubled us all. No one would have thought that this matter would reach such a stage. Moreover, our four great sects have always been one and the same. If something like this had happened in our sect, your esteemed sect would probably have come to our aid no matter what the cost!"


    The disciples of the other three sects were shocked when they saw Su Wanqing''s actions. They hurriedly hid to the sides of Su Wanqing and asked.


    "Fairy Su, moreover, your Sky Mist Sect suffered the most losses this time, please do not continue."


    "That''s right, fairy Su. Moreover, without you and fairy Yun from your sect, we would have been completely annihilated. Moreover, half a step into cultivation techniques, it means that we will slowly have to contend with the two of them. At that time, we will definitely take revenge."


    "A blood debt can only be paid with blood!"


    Su Wan Qing heard their words and bitterly laughed, "Anyways, this matter is thanks to the help of the three sects. In the Scripture Pavilion, we have not only taken half a skill level cultivation technique, there are some other things that we will hand over to the Sect Leader for distribution once we are out."


    "Yes, yes, yes. That should be the case. Fairy Su, you should go and recover as well. The secret realm should expel us within a day." A person hurriedly replied.


    "Many thanks for your care, fellow Daoists. I will always use my divine sense to scan the area. If someone comes, I can sense them." Su Wanqing nodded and did not refuse. She found a clean place and sat down to cultivate.


    Yang Li looked at Su Wan Qing''s pale face and dim eyes. His heart ached. He lifted his foot and was about to walk towards Su Wan Qing, but then stopped.


    After slapping himself, Yang Li sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.


    "Flames of the clouds and wind! This will never be over!" The hatred in Yang Li''s heart intensified. Su Wanqing was so tired, but at least she was still alive and well.


    However, those outer sect disciples who had been defending him, apart from Xu Ke and Feng Yue, had all lost their lives in the hands of the disciples of the two great sects.


    "Blood debt, blood shall be repaid!"

 C47

    The fluctuations of spiritual energy on the battlefield hadn''t calmed down yet. All the disciples were meditating in order to recover their spiritual energy as soon as possible to deal with any possible dangers.


    Yang Li was no exception. Moreover, he was currently in an even more miserable state than everyone else, in an extremely weak state. However, he was still extremely happy in his heart.


    Because from what he could sense, he was only weak for six hours! This meant that every six hours, his battle prowess would reach the second level of the Spiritual Movement Stage!


    The only regret was that it would only last for a little more than a quarter of an hour. If he couldn''t kill the enemy or escape at this time, then he would be in grave danger.


    Su Wan Qing was also carefully observing Yang Li with her divine sense. Seeing Yang Li''s pale face, Su Wan Qing also felt sorry for him, but she didn''t go to look for him.


    The gap between the two was too great. Even if she wanted to, her master wouldn''t be willing. No matter how outstanding Yang Li was, the current Yang Li couldn''t enter her master''s eyes.


    Su Wan Qing sighed and started to circulate her Qi to recover her Qi.


    "What''s the matter?" Yun Ci felt that something was wrong with Su Wan Qing as she asked softly.


    "It''s fine. Words. Maybe it''s because I''m too tired." Su Wanqing forced a smile and said.


    "Hurry up and rest, we''re about to leave, we''ve done a great deed this time!" It''s just that too many disciples have stayed behind. " Yun Ci''s voice was filled with concern. She initially wanted to cheer up Su Wanqing.


    However, she discovered that even she couldn''t be happy and couldn''t help but fall silent. This resting area of the disciples of the four sects, had sunk into an extremely quiet scene.


    At this moment, a huge formation suddenly appeared in the sky and flickered with a strange light.


    Some disciples, before even reacting, were sent out by the Teleportation Array. Those with faster reactions brought the corpses of their fellow disciples out, but the majority of them stayed in this place forever.


    "..."


    Outside of the secret realm, all of the sect elders and headmasters of the various sects were arriving one after another. According to their calculations, today was the day for disciples to come out.


    All of them were calculating what their sects would get, looking both anxious and worried.


    Although they had already probed the secret realm with their soul consciousness and found that it wasn''t dangerous, it didn''t mean that it wasn''t dangerous.


    And these disciples were all elite disciples. If the losses were too great, the sect would definitely not be able to afford it.


    Not long after they arrived, they saw flashes of light in the sky, and the disciples appeared in the light. They hastily pulled the disciples to their sides, afraid that something might happen to them if they fell down.


    However, after all of the disciples had arrived, the headmasters and elders of the various sects were enraged.


    Bu Yuntian was no exception. Even if Yun Ci and Su Wanqing had reached the Spirit Realm, it did not reduce his anger.


    "Tell me! What was going on!? Why only so many people came out from a secret realm that is not dangerous at all?! " Bu Yuntian angrily roared.


    "I''m sorry master, it''s this disciple''s fault." Su Wanqing lowered her head but did not say anything.


    "Including you and the heavily injured disciples, only thirteen disciples have come out! You tell me why! " Bu Yuntian glared at Su Wanqing. Although this disciple of his was outstanding, the disciples he had lost were not bad either! That was the sect''s future hope!


    "Sect Leader, it''s like this. Later Qing brought us to the Scripture Pavilion and obtained a half a rank inner force skill from the Secret Grounds. Now that the disciples of the two great sects know about it, they have come to besiege us." Yun Ci explained everything clearly.


    The disciples of the other sects were also explaining to their Sect Leader and Elder, occasionally glancing in Bu Yuntian''s direction.


    "What did you say?" A half step inner force skill? " Bu Yuntian originally wanted to continue shouting at them, but he suddenly grasped this extremely sensitive point. His gaze instantly became extremely sharp.


    At this time, the headmaster of the Qingyan Sect walked over and said: "Sect Leader Bu, please do not blame this disciple for now. We cannot blame them for this matter. Our sects need to properly plan this out."


    The headmaster of the Qingyan Sect opened his mouth to stop them. Soon after, the headmasters of the Blood Yang Valley and Fire Li Sect also came over, their expressions extremely serious.


    The benefits of a half-step inner force skill were obvious, but it also brought a huge danger. If one was not careful, their sect would be exterminated. Thus, the loss of a few disciples was not a big deal.


    As for the disciples of their sect, they were all sitting in their original spots recovering their Spiritual Energy with dejected expressions.


    After a long time, Bu Yuntian and the other sect masters returned to their own sects. At the same time, the elders of the two sects also arrived. Their faces were extremely ugly as they rushed over with anger.


    "TianLan, Blood Sun, Qingyan, and Huo Li!" One of the elders from the Cloud Sect bellowed.


    "Heh, what can I do for you, Elder Fang?" Bu Yuntian coldly opened his mouth.


    "Of my eighty disciples, only thirty-four have come out!" Your four sects tell me! "Why is that!?" Elder Fang''s tone contained a strong killing intent as he questioned.


    "Elder Fang, then tell us, our four sects only have sixty disciples! "Why is that!?" Bu Yuntian was also angry and his killing intent was just as strong.


    "Fang!" I don''t need you to tell me the reason for this matter. Now! I''ll tell you when I''m clear! "


    "If we want to start a war, the four Sects have nothing to fear!" I hope you can pay the price of destroying us! "


    "You ¡­ Is this what you mean, or are you implying the Four Great Sects? " Elder Fang frowned.


    "This is what our ''Qingyan Sect'' means." The head of the Qingyan Sect said.


    "So does my Fire Li Sect." Huo Li Sect''s sect master said in a deep voice.


    "Blood Sun Valley also means that. If we''re going to fight, then both of us will die." The sect master''s voice also contained a thick killing intent.


    Anyone would be furious at such a huge loss to a disciple. It was a bit hard for any of the six sects to bear.


    At this moment, one of the elders from the two great sects stepped forward to stop Elder Fang, saying in a low voice: "Elder Fang, don''t be rash. If we fight with them now, I''m afraid that we will have to stay behind. Go back and report to the Sect Leader!"


    "Good, very good! When we return to the sect and report to the sect master, there will naturally be someone knocking on our door to seek guidance! " When Elder Fang heard the words of the other elder, he knew that he wouldn''t be able to get revenge today, so he flicked his sleeves and left.


    Bu Yuntian and the others sneered as they looked at him. Just a moment ago, several sects had already made their preparations.


    Sooner or later, the four great Sects and two great Sects would both fight each other. The contradictions between them had always been profound, and what had happened this time had only deepened the contradictions.


    They were certain that the two great sects didn''t dare to start a war, because if they did, the four sects would absolutely fight to the death for their sects!


    After chatting for a while, the four of them went back to their respective sect disciples and started their journey back to the sect.


    "..."


    Half a day passed in the blink of an eye. Along the way, all the disciples remained silent. No one spoke during the entire journey. The atmosphere on the ship was extremely heavy.


    Everyone was training diligently. This battle had made them all feel suppressed and angry.


    When they returned, only five direct disciples, two peak disciples, three inner court disciples, and three outer court disciples remained. Among them, there were three heavily injured disciples. This scene fiercely provoked them.


    The thirst for power and the seeds of hatred had already been planted deeply in the hearts of everyone on this trip.


    When they arrived at the sect, these disciples walked out of the cabin and bid their farewells to Bu Yuntian. Other than Yang Li who wanted to be promoted to the inner sect, all the other disciples rushed toward the Cultivation Pagoda.


    Cultivate! Only by being stronger would they be able to face danger and predicament in the future with more ease.


    Bu Yuntian was somewhat gratified to see this scene. He thought to himself, "It seems like this battle is not completely useless. Besides, these disciples have already done their best. The sect is in urgent need of a half-step cultivation technique."


    "Forget it. They can''t be blamed for this matter. The reward should still be given to them. Hopefully, they can go a step further." Bu Yuntian let out a sigh. After sending a message to the elders, he walked toward the sect''s Procedural Hall.


    "..."


    After Yang Li left, he directly ran towards the Main Hall outside of the sect. He planned to advance to the inner sect before entering the cultivation tower to cultivate.


    Although the resources that the inner sect disciples gave him did not reach 1% of his current wealth, the inner sect''s training towers were slightly better than the outer sect''s resources.


    Along the way, Yang Li met many outer sect disciples who greeted him with a smile. Although Yang Li did not know them, he still responded with a smile.


    For the first time, he felt a sense of belonging towards this sect. A sense of belonging rose up from the bottom of his heart, but as soon as this feeling arose, Yang Li thought of his parents.


    In the outer sect competition, the illusion Meng Zhong used allowed him to see his parents for the first time in five years.


    "Forget it, let''s not train for now. Let''s go home and visit our parents. We''ve been away for five years, it''s time to go home and visit." Yang Li sighed to himself.


    After Yang Li arrived at the disciple promotion area, he saw two disciples cultivating.


    Noticing Yang Li''s arrival, the two disciples woke up from their cultivation state and asked, "Junior brother, is there anything I can help you with?"


    "Hello, Senior Martial Brother, Junior Martial Brother will handle the advancement procedures." Yang Li said.


    "Hmm? "Is Junior Brother going to be promoted to an outer or inner disciple?" A disciple asked. Yang Li looked to be extremely young, and there weren''t any ripples around him. Every few days, disciples of his age would come forth to promote themselves.


    Those disciples were usually promoted to the outer sect, so it was inevitable that he would ask.


    Yang Li didn''t mind at all and said, "Junior brother will be promoted to the inner sect. This is junior brother''s identity token. Sorry to trouble you."


    "Then I''ll have to trouble you to test your level of cultivation, junior brother." After the disciple received the token, he took out the Realm Assessing Stone Road.


    "Junior is the champion of the outer sect competition, you don''t need to test, right?" Yang Li asked doubtfully.


    "Hmm?" When the disciple heard this, he looked at the identity token in his hand and remembered that the champion of the outer sect competition before the month was Yang Li.


    The disciple immediately became enthusiastic and said: "I am truly sorry, Junior Brother. I didn''t notice. Junior Brother, please wait a moment. We will complete the procedures for you right now."


    When the other disciple heard it was Yang Li, he had already headed towards the back with his identity plate.


    At the same time, he thought to himself, if the champion of the outer sect competition enters the inner sect, it would be possible for him to rise rapidly. In the inner sect, he would have more resources than the outer sect.


    Moreover, they heard that this year''s tournament champion was highly praised by many of the outer sect elders. They said that he was the most outstanding disciple in the past hundred years, which meant that once he entered the inner sect, he would be able to quickly raise his cultivation realm.


    "Ok, thank you senior brother." Yang Li truly did not think too much. After he replied, the disciple that was left behind began to explain some of the inner sect rules to him.


    Not long after, another disciple returned. Yang Li smiled as he bid farewell and walked towards the Pill Hall.

 C48

    Among the new inner disciples, there were only one hundred spirit stones, five Heavy Yang Pills, and a Xuan Level cultivation technique.


    However, the rankings of inner and outer disciples were different, so rankings could be challenged.


    The inner court had a ranking. Inner court disciples could choose the disciples on the ranking to challenge them, and if the challenge was successful, the disciples would be pushed down.


    For example, if you challenged the 21st place on the inner sect rankings, and if you succeeded, you would become the 21st place. For example, if you challenged the 21st place on the inner sect rankings, and if you succeeded, you would become the 21st place.


    Therefore, the inner sect''s battles were extremely intense, and were not limited to the Large Competition.


    However, Yang Li wasn''t in the mood to care about this at the moment. Instead, he was in the sect''s Pill Hall, choosing pills for himself, partly for his own cultivation, and partly for his parents.


    When he went home to visit his parents, he naturally wanted to bring something suitable to his parents. As a son, how could he not be filial?


    After choosing for a full four hours, Yang Li finally found all the pills he needed.


    "Heart Nourishing Pill: Level 3 pill suitable for use by mortals. It can warm and nourish the heart of mortals. Take one every month. If consumed for a long period of time, it will allow the heart to recover to its best state."


    Body Accumulation Pill: Level 3 pill suitable for mortals to use. It can nourish the body of mortals and can be used once a month. If used for a long period of time, it will allow the body to reach a youthful state.


    "Cosmetic Cultivation Pill: Level 3 pill. It is suitable for females to use. If used for a long period of time, it can make females more beautiful and their skin more smooth."


    Although these were pills used by mortals, their prices were already on par with the price of the Comprehension Pill. Although these were pills used by mortals, their prices were already on par with the price of the Comprehension Pill.


    However, the difficulty was only the difficulty. It could still be refined.


    One bottle for ten pills. Although the price was a little expensive, Yang Li was not stingy at all. He directly bought six bottles for his parents to buy.


    Cultivators would accept the spiritual energy in the world every day. Most of them were pretty and beautiful, with very few being ugly. That was why the Cosmetic Cultivation Pill was basically also used by mortals.


    The Cosmetic Cultivation Pills were slightly more expensive. Each bottle cost ten pieces, and each bottle cost eighty spirit stones. Yang Li also bought three bottles.


    These pills immediately cost Yang Li 8400 spirit stones. If Yang Li didn''t have more than 18,000 spirit stones from the Treasure Pavilion, he wouldn''t have been able to afford it.


    This made Yang Li''s heart palpitate. He decided that after returning home, he would find a way to earn some spirit stones.


    As Yang Li was about to leave after choosing his pill, he was stopped by a disciple.


    "Junior brother, let''s get to know each other. My name is Feng Chong, and I''m at the ninth level of the Blood Tempering Stage." Feng Chong said to Yang Li with a smile.


    "What can I do for you, senior?" Yang Li doubtfully asked.


    "It''s not a big deal. It''s just that I''m a bit short on money recently. I wonder if I can borrow some spirit stones from Junior?" Feng Chong grinned and smiled at Yang Li.


    "Sorry, I didn''t. Goodbye." When Yang Li heard Feng Chong''s words, he immediately knew what was going on. Feng Chong had seen the large sum he had used to buy pills, and relied on his high cultivation to bully Yang Li.


    After Yang Li finished speaking, he turned and left. At the same time, a trace of disdain hung on the corner of his mouth as he thought to himself, "You''d better be smart and not provoke me again. If you dare to provoke me again, I''ll definitely let you know what regret is!"


    "Junior brother, this is a bit unreasonable, isn''t it?" Feng Chong dodged and once again blocked Yang Li''s path. His eyes narrowed slightly as a trace of cold light flashed through them. His tone carried a trace of threat as he spoke.


    "Junior brother, let''s see what kind of relatives you are going to meet with when you buy the pill. It''s a good thing we''re meeting family, but I''m afraid that junior brother won''t be able to come back after we leave."


    "If you want to die, I don''t mind sending you off." Yang Li glanced at Feng Chong and coldly snorted.


    There would always be this kind of reckless fool on the continent who wanted to rob him? He really was hanging himself from an old longevity star. He was tired of living!


    "Junior brother, you are really arrogant. I wonder if your cultivation can save you from this calamity!" Feng Chong looked coldly at Yang Li.


    Yang Li ignored him and walked out of the Pill Hall.


    Yang Li urgently wanted to go home to see his parents. He really didn''t have the time to waste time on trash like them after not returning home for five years.


    After leaving the mountain gate, Yang Li launched his Flowing Light Shadow, directly heading towards his home. Because Yang Li hadn''t reached the Spirit Realm, he couldn''t fly.


    However, the Floating Light Shadow had already reached the third level and its speed was comparable to an early stage Spirit Realm cultivator. Moreover, the consumption of energy was not big for the current him, so his speed did not slow down by much.


    Yang Li''s home was in a small village in Liuhuo City. With Yang Li''s speed, it would take him roughly three days to return, but when he and his father came over, it even took him ten days to get on the carriage.


    As for the Liuhuo City, although it was a big city, it was filled with very few cultivators.


    This was because there weren''t any famous secret realms or sects near Liuhuo City. Aside from merchants, very few people would go there. Instead, it became a place where no one would fight.


    Two days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Yang Li arrived in front of a village under the jurisdiction of Liuhuo City. However, he was still several miles away from the village. He could smell the thick stench of blood.


    He could not help but frown. The smell of blood did not feel like the blood of a pig or a cow, but more like human blood.


    Yang Li quickened his pace and arrived at the village in less than a quarter of an hour. However, the scene in front of him made him extremely angry. The killing intent in his heart continued to boil.


    There were corpses lying everywhere on the road in the village and they were covered with sabers. There were even some women''s corpses with messy clothes. Some of them even took off their clothes and threw them on the street.


    All of the women''s eyes were wide open, filled with humiliation and unwillingness. Some of them had blood in their eyes, while others had whip marks on their bodies. It was obvious that they had all been abused and abused while they were alive.


    Yang Li walked slowly in the middle of the village. At the same time, he closed his eyes to sense the killing intent in his heart grow stronger and stronger. It wasn''t until he passed the entire village that Yang Li opened his eyes.


    In the entire village, men, women, old and young, none of them returned alive.


    "mounted bandits!" Yang Li could tell from the hoof prints and knife marks on the corpse that this group of inhuman mounted gangsters.


    Yang Li suppressed the killing intent in his heart, which was becoming more and more tyrannical, and bowed deeply towards the town.


    "Fellow villagers, I am Yang Li. Within ten days, I will definitely behead all the mounted gangsters and place them in the village. At that time, I will send everyone to hell."


    After he finished speaking, Yang Li immediately turned around. He could no longer endure that tyrannical killing intent as he sped off with the horse''s hooves.


    From the looks of the corpses, the group of bandits had only left for less than two hours. With his speed, he would be able to catch up to them in less than an hour.


    Sure enough, not long after, Yang Li saw a group of mounted gangsters laughing and cursing at each other as they headed towards the north.


    Moreover, some of the bandits even had some women tied up in front of them.


    There were even a few eight or nine-year-old girls who cried non-stop along the way.


    "Wait a little longer, you guys wait a little longer. I will definitely save you guys." Yang Li forcefully suppressed the killing intent in his heart as he muttered to himself, and followed behind the mounted gangsters from afar.


    He had to get rid of the roots if he wanted to cut the grass. He was not sure that he could do anything other than follow these mounted gangsters. He planned to follow them to their lairs and completely destroy their lairs.


    Yang Li followed them for two hours until they reached the front of a mountain. Only then did the mounted gangsters slow down and walk up the mountain.


    Seeing this scene, Yang Li knew that he had already followed them. This mountain should be the lair of the mounted bandits.


    Yang Li no longer suppressed the killing intent in his heart and immediately used his movement technique to rush up the mountain.


    Very quickly, Yang Li saw a village. The entire village was extremely large, and there were even watchtowers and other buildings. Dozens of mounted gangsters were patrolling around the village.


    From time to time, miserable screams could be heard from some of the houses in the stronghold. Then, the corpses of men and women would be thrown out. The scars on their bodies were extremely shocking.


    When a passing mounted gangster saw someone alive, he would slash down with his saber and directly kill him.


    "Flame God Spear Art, Flame Shattering the Heavens!" Black flames emerged from the spear, and as Yang Li''s spear thrust towards the mountain stronghold''s door, Yang Li''s killing intent and rage were mixed within. Ferociously, several mounted gangsters were unable to dodge in time, and were immediately burnt to death by the flames.


    "Enemy attack!" One of the mounted gangsters let out a mournful howl and immediately brandished his blade, charging ferociously towards Yang Li without fear of death.


    Yang Li let out a disdainful laugh as he thrust his spear at his opponent. Spirit energy poured into the spear as it was thrown into the middle of the mounted gangsters rushing out of the rooms.


    "Explode!"


    Most of the mounted gangsters that appeared were at the Qi Accumulation and Blood Tempering stage. When Yang Li''s exploding spiritual energy exploded, even a first level Spiritual Movement Stage cultivator might not be able to withstand it, let alone them, many mounted gangsters were either killed or injured by the explosion.


    At this time, the horse bandits at the foot of the mountain were also close to the mountain stronghold. Hearing the shouts and undulations from the stronghold, they didn''t even care about the prisoners and threw them out of the stronghold.


    He was worried that the boss of this group of mounted gangsters was very strong. It was said that the several times the bandit forces of Liuhuo City had failed to exterminate this group of mounted gangsters, they had instead allowed them to become even more arrogant.


    "You heartless animals! Fire God Spear Art, Flame Tyrant''s everywhere! " Yang Li roared in fury. Everything that happened in the village was constantly stimulating his mind, causing him to be unable to suppress his killing intent. Yan Juetian and Yan Juetian continued to release their killing intent.


    The fierce flames were like burning grass. In the blink of an eye, it had killed dozens of mounted gangsters, and there were even some that were seriously injured.


    "Explode!"


    Yang Li then ignited his flame energy, killing another dozen mounted bandits.


    At this time, a voice shouted, "Which little thief came to my Black Wind Stronghold to cause trouble?!" A man dressed in black and with a full beard rushed over from the rear of the village. He was eight feet tall and was wearing a black tight suit. He held a large blade in his hand.


    Yang Li looked at him and bellowed: "The person who will take your pathetic life!"


    "Third Master, this brat came to the village and directly killed dozens of our brothers without saying a word. You must avenge our brothers who died!" Third Master! " Some mounted gangsters complained bitterly, their words filled with resentment towards Yang Li.


    "A person at the fifth level of the Blood Tempering realm dares to act so arrogantly in my Black Wind Stronghold!" You even killed so many of my brothers. Leave your little life here as a sacrifice to my dead brothers! "Cloud Rolling Blade, rise of the wind!" The Third Master of the mounted bandits appeared extremely furious.


    As the Spiritual Art was unleashed, Spiritual Energy fluctuations emitted from his body. He was actually a Spiritual Movement Stage Level 1 cultivator.


    "I hope your strength is as great as your words! "Flame God Spear Art, Nirvana Flames!" Yang Li was also enraged as he moved. His long spear shot out straight towards the Third Master.


    A great battle erupted.

 C49

    Intense Spiritual Energy fluctuations exploded between the two of them from time to time. The more the mounted gangster fought, the more frightened he became.


    A brat at the fifth level of the Blood Tempering stage was actually able to explode with an attack comparable to the ninth level of the Blood Tempering Stage. Moreover, his movement technique was so strange.


    Judging from the situation, he definitely wouldn''t be able to keep him.


    As a last resort, the bandit leader directly shouted: "Big brother, no, I can''t take care of this brat."


    When Yang Li heard this, he immediately became excited. He was finally able to get rid of this group of bandits.


    If it weren''t for the sake of seducing their boss, Yang Li would have long since used his secret bloodline technique to kill Third Boss.


    "Trash!" If a little brat at the fifth level of the Blood Tempering stage is unable to kill him, then you, the Third Master, should just stop being one! "


    Another burly man with a full beard appeared from the back of the village and hurried over. His voice was filled with anger.


    When the bandit''s Third Master heard this, he did not say anything and his face was filled with embarrassment.


    "If it wasn''t for Second Brother helping us, I would never have let you fight!"


    When the bandit boss arrived, he was still berating the bandit Third Master and didn''t take Yang Li seriously at all.


    "Have you finished? Then die! " Yang Li spoke with an ice-cold tone.


    When the bandit boss heard this, he turned to look at him and smiled sinisterly: "Little bastard, you''re going to open a dyeing workshop if I give you some color? I will give you two choices now. One, submit to me, and the second, die here! "


    "Go to hell! "Blood Explosion!" Yang Li angrily shouted as he activated the Blood Explosion Technique. From the bandit boss''s words, he could tell that the bandit''s second in command was absent.


    However, Yang Li didn''t mind. What kind of waves could a person stir up? It was enough to kill these people.


    Yang Li''s cultivation had risen continuously from the fifth level of the Blood Tempering Stage to the ninth level of the Blood Tempering Stage in the blink of an eye.


    "Hehe, little bastard, you think that you can contend against me by using such an explosive secret skill? "Bloodbath Saber Technique, blood spattered three feet!" The bandit boss watched Yang Li''s explosive attack with interest. He did not place Yang Li in his eyes at all as he casually shot out a spirit technique to attack Yang Li.


    The bandit boss''s saber carried a breathtaking blood-red light as it headed towards Yang Li. It even emitted a strong stench of blood.


    "I hope you will still be able to say this in the end! "Flame God Spear Art, Nirvana Flames!" Yang Li was not one to be outdone. Even though the bandit boss was still at the third level of the Spiritual Movement Stage, Yang Li was not afraid in the slightest. He continued to fiercely attack the bandit boss.


    "Cloud Rolling Blade, Cloud Wave!" The bandit Third Boss also made his move. The blade in his hand was like a cloud as it emitted a white light and hacked straight towards Yang Li.


    For a moment, Yang Li was in a state of pincer strikes, but Yang Li simply smiled.


    Not at all!" Yang Li immediately disappeared from his original position and reappeared in front of the bandit Third Boss. Nirvana Flames ferociously attacked him as the bright line of fire carried an aura that penetrated through everything, shattering the spirit technique of the bandit Third Boss.


    Subsequently, it viciously pierced towards the chest of the bandit Third Boss.


    At this time, the bandit boss didn''t have the time to assist the bandit Third Master. He could only watch as Yang Li''s long spear pierced towards him.


    "Little bastard, do you think I don''t have any defensive spirit arts!?" "Saber Light Shield!" The bandit Third Master simply grinned and used his broadsword to block in front of his chest, directly blocking Yang Li''s attack. However, his defensive spirit technique was already close to collapsing.


    Yang Li''s terrifying attack power and strength once again shocked him. The bandit boss also attacked at this time, and together with the bandit Third Boss, they attacked Xiang Yang once again.


    "If I can''t kill you all right now, then I''ll kill you all in the end. The rest of you can''t even think about escaping!" "Flame Destroying Sky!" Yang Li saw that he was temporarily unable to kill the two of them, and immediately changed his strategy.


    On the contrary, he attacked the other mounted gangsters. If even the Third Master of the mounted gangsters couldn''t withstand this attack, how could the other mounted gangsters withstand it?


    The miserable cries of the horse bandits rose and fell. For a time, only the violent fluctuation of spiritual magic and the fleeing horse bandits were left in the village.


    But how could their speed compare to Yang Li''s? Yang Li appeared again and again in front of the fleeing mounted gangsters.


    Originally, he had relied on his movement technique to create the illusion of teleportation, but as he used it more and more, the beast skin in Yang Li''s spatial ring suddenly flickered. Immediately, Yang Li felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, and his entire person entered a wondrous state.


    Distance became folded spaces in his eyes. He walked in and instantly moved to the horse bandit''s side.


    "What a wondrous feeling. I feel like I can move a hundred miles in the blink of an eye." Yang Li sighed.


    If there were a higher level cultivator here, they would probably be amazed at Yang Li''s movement technique and talent.


    More and more mounted gangsters died, and before long, only a few dozen of the original three hundred mounted gangsters had been killed by Yang Li.


    The bandit boss and the bandit Third Master were in a rage as they followed behind him. They wanted to stop him, but they were unable to keep up with Yang Li''s speed.


    Moreover, the longer Yang Li fell into that wondrous state, the more the two of them were unable to keep up with his speed.


    Not long after, the two gave up and chose a horse bandit to protect him as they prepared to wait.


    The horse bandits'' screams disappeared, leaving behind only the last horse thief and the two horse bandits as the leader.


    The stronghold was filled with corpses. Blood was flowing in rivers. Some of the blood seeped deep into the ground, turning into dark red colored blood. Some of the blood even flowed down the rocks.


    The entire mountain stronghold was like hell on earth.


    Yang Li immediately teleported to the side of the last horse bandit and pierced towards his chest with his spear. When the two bandit leaders saw this scene, they attacked Yang Li together.


    The tragic deaths of so many brothers had deeply provoked the two bandits as they attacked without a shred of mercy.


    "Little bastard, go and die for this daddy!" "Carnage Saber Technique, Carnage Blood!" The bandit boss used his most powerful move.


    "Cloud Rolling Blade, Rising Wind and Cloud Surging Clouds!"


    The two spirit arts carried a tremendous amount of power. One of them had a saber aura as sharp as blood, brimming with killing intent, while the other had an aura as powerful as the clouds and the wind.


    However, their spirit techniques missed. Yang Li stepped forward and instantly appeared behind that mounted gangster. After stabbing his spear in, Yang Li sinisterly smiled.


    "Enjoy the big gift I gave you all! "Explode!"


    Yang Li quickly retreated, detonating the explosive energy within the last mounted gangster''s body.


    "Bam!"


    A red firework rose. The two bandits beside the mounted gangster did not have the time to dodge. Their flesh and blood that were blown up by the explosion had also suffered injuries to their bodies.


    "Good, very good. It has been a long time since someone has forced you into such a sorry state. You are courting death!" Demonification! " The bandit boss roared in anger. His extreme rage caused him to use a trump card that he had never used before.


    All the hair on his body grew, and his fingernails grew longer. His teeth became sharper and sharper, and he turned into a grey werewolf. He then attacked Yang Li.


    If it were anyone else, they would have escaped from such a huge change. However, Yang Li did not panic in the slightest. Demonification meant that their intelligence and mental strength would be slightly reduced.


    "Illusory Fire Palm!" Yang Li displayed an earth-step cultivation method. The Illusory Fire Art had the ability to confuse others, but it was the most suitable technique for him right now.


    The gigantic flaming palm, with a misty glow, viciously struck at the werewolf.


    Yang Li, on the other hand, directly teleported to the side of the bandit Third Boss and stabbed the spear towards his opponent''s chest without hesitation.


    "Soaring Flame Dragon!" The roaring fire dragon appeared in the blink of an eye and attacked the opponent directly, with a trace of mysteriousness in its movements.


    "Saber Light Shield!" The bandit Third Master repeated the same trick, wanting to dodge Yang Li''s attack. But what he didn''t expect was that Yang Li''s attack directly penetrated his defensive spirit technique!


    The fire dragon directly devoured the bandit leader. The fierce flames burned, and the bandit leader immediately let out a miserable cry.


    Ah!


    He was sent flying. He was heavily injured.


    "Explode!"


    Following the explosion of Yang Li''s Flame God Incantation, the body of the bandit third master immediately exploded, burning him into ashes.


    On the other side, because the bandit boss had taken the shape of a werewolf, his intelligence and spirit were greatly reduced. He was powerless to resist and was struck by the Illusory Fire Palm.


    "Again!"


    Yang Li was overjoyed. He immediately ignited the energy that stained the bandit boss'' body.


    "Aooo!"


    The bandit boss cried out in pain. His cry was like that of a real wolf. However, he didn''t suffer much damage. Only his hair was a bit charred and his demonic transformation gave him a demonic beast like body.


    The bandit boss''s bloodshot eyes locked onto Yang Li. His teeth flashed with a cold light as he pounced towards Yang Li.


    Seeing this scene, Yang Li''s mouth revealed a hint of disdain. Since a single strand of energy cannot kill you, then come and try again!


    Yang Li moved to the place where the bodies of the mounted bandits were the most concentrated, waiting for the werewolves to arrive.


    The werewolf was extremely fast, arriving at this place in the blink of an eye, but Yang Li had been waiting for this moment.


    With one step, Yang Li walked to the entrance of the village and shouted: "Explode!"


    Immediately, the body of the mounted gangster exploded, and the werewolf in the middle howled miserably.


    Not long after, that area was a mess of flesh and blood. Yang Li was on the verge of losing strength, and the Blood Explosion Technique was about to arrive.


    At this moment, a figure shakily stood up.


    The werewolf was not dead!


    Yang Li frowned and gritted his teeth as he teleported back to the werewolf''s side.


    "I don''t believe that I can''t kill you! "Nirvana Flames!" Yang Li thrust his spear straight at the werewolf''s eyes.


    The werewolf was still in a dazed state from the explosion, and before he could react, Yang Li had already pierced through him.


    "Aooo!"


    The werewolf let out a howl that shook the mountain.


    "Explode!"


    Yang Li activated the Flame God Incantation for the last time and stepped out of the sect. He stood in front of the girls and untied all the ropes that bound them, completely exhausting Yang Li''s spirit energy.


    "I have avenged your village, all the mounted gangsters have been killed by me." Yang Li said.


    "Thank you, thank you." A woman continued to sob, her tears wetting her entire face. Even though Yang Li''s entire body was covered in blood and it was hard to clearly see his face, the woman was not afraid at all. She directly looked into Yang Li''s eyes, filled with gratitude.


    "No need ¡­" Yang Li didn''t even have the time to say the word ''thank you'' before he fainted. His exhaustion and the side effects of the Blood Explosion Technique made it so that he couldn''t take it anymore.


    "Quick, someone help benefactor up!" When the girl in front of Yang Li saw that he had fainted, she immediately shouted to the surrounding girls.


    Within the mountain stronghold, the only sound that could be heard was the burning of flames. It was extremely quiet.


    Suddenly, a faint sound of breathing could be heard. A mounted gangster slowly climbed up from the ground.


    Looking at the tragic state of the village, he suddenly shouted and ran out of the village as if he had gone mad.


    The Infernal Realm of the mortal world couldn''t be like this.

 C50

    "Hmm? "Where is this place?" Yang Li, who had just woken up, sat up from his bed. Looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings, he couldn''t help but feel somewhat puzzled.


    "Could it be those girls'' homes?" He remembered that after he detonated the energy in the werewolf''s head, he went to untie those women''s ropes and said a few words before fainting.


    And from this room, it really did look like a woman''s room, and there was even a faint fragrance coming from it.


    Yang Li''s feeling of weakness had also disappeared. It was just that he was still somewhat weak. After cultivating for a while, he should be able to do it.


    Thus, Yang Li pulled back his blanket and prepared to change clothes before sitting down to recover. To his astonishment, he discovered that not only was his body clean and clean, but his clothes had also been changed!


    "Holy shit, no way!" Yang Li cursed in a rare manner, and his cheeks began to burn.


    If there were any men amongst them, he might be able to lie to them, but he had saved a bunch of girls, so it was easy to imagine who helped him take a bath and change his clothes.


    The only thing that made him feel gratified was that he was wearing a man''s outfit.


    "Benefactor, are you awake?" A clear and melodious female voice was heard from the door, sounding somewhat joyous.


    Hearing the woman''s voice, Yang Li''s face immediately turned even redder. Just as he was about to lie down and pretend to sleep, the door was pushed open.


    A delicate and pretty woman walked in. She wore a white dress and looked to be about 25 years of age. When she saw Yang Li wake up, her expression became even more joyous.


    "Mm, I''m awake." Yang Li saw that he was unable to dodge, so he simply agreed.


    However, this woman was also extremely intelligent. When she saw Yang Li''s face, she knew what he was thinking and couldn''t help but smile coquettishly.


    "What are you laughing at?" Yang Li asked in confusion.


    "Benefactor, I see that your face is red. Do you think that we are the ones who changed out of your clothes, benefactor?" The woman asked with a smile.


    "Uh, yes." When Yang Li heard this, his face turned even redder. He knew he could not hide it from the other party, so he directly admitted it.


    As he admitted this, the woman''s smile grew even wider. She looked breathless, but Yang Li couldn''t interrupt her. He could only look on awkwardly, and it was only after a long time that the woman finally relaxed.


    "Benefactor, your clothes were changed by a servant of the mansion, not by us women." There was still a hint of a smile in the woman''s voice.


    "Hmm? "What''s going on?" Yang Li was even more confused.


    "It''s like this, benefactor. This little girl is Second Miss of the Luo Residence in Liuhuo City, Luo Xue. Two days ago, she went out with her female companions and was kidnapped by a group of mounted gangsters who massacred the village."


    "At the same time, the mounted gangsters also captured several women in the village. I believe Benefactor found the village''s tragedy and chased after the mounted gangsters, saving us."


    "Benefactor killed all the mounted gangsters, and after saving us, he fainted. We girls worked together to bring Benefactor back, and then we had our young master bathe and change his clothes." Luo Xue slowly said.


    "So it''s like that. Then I''ll have to thank Miss Luo. There''s one more thing I need to ask Miss Luo. How many women are there in the village?" When Yang Li heard this answer, he did not feel that awkward anymore, so he asked.


    "Benefactor can be at ease. The other women have already been arranged to rest in the City Lord''s Mansion, and the City Lord''s Mansion has already sent people to clean up the bandits'' camp and to bury everyone in the village." Luo Xue smiled.


    "That''s good. But since it''s like this, I won''t bother you any longer. Thank you for taking care of me, Miss Luo." Hearing this reply, Yang Li relaxed and prepared to leave.


    "Benefactor, if you just leave like that, it will harm my life!" Luo Xue hastily urged him to stay.


    "What do you mean?" Yang Li, who was originally about to use his movement technique to leave, immediately stopped his magic upon hearing these words and asked.


    Just as Luo Xue was about to answer, she heard a hearty laugh. Her face revealed a smile as she said: "Benefactor, this question should be asked by the City Lord."


    As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man walked in with a warm smile on his face. At the same time, an imposing aura that came from the position he had been in for a long time began to gather around him.


    "Uncle mayor, if you come a few minutes later, benefactor will probably leave." Luo Xue slightly bowed and said with a smile.


    "Aiya, Niece Luo, didn''t I come? "Don''t panic, don''t panic." After that, he turned around to look at Yang Li and said again, "Hello, young hero. My name is Duan Qi and I''m the lord of this Liuhuo City. I''ve come this time to thank young hero for helping my Liuhuo City get rid of a great disaster."


    Second, we will return Young Hero''s spoils of war. We did not touch any of the mounted bandits'' relics. After counting them, we will put them away for Young Hero. Young Hero, take a look. With that, Duan Qi passed a Cosmic Bag to Yang Li.


    Yang Li took it and looked at it. There were many things here, and they had already been sorted and put away. There were tens of thousands of them.


    Young Hero, there are 39,612 Spirit Stones in this Cosmos Sack. Not a single one is missing, and there are also several bottles of medicinal pills. As for the other miscellaneous items, I''m not too sure. Duan Qi said.


    "City Lord is too polite, I am Yang Li, the City Lord can call me by my name, after all, I am from Liuhuo City." Yang Li also said with a smile.


    "Yang Li? I wonder where in Liuhuo City you are from, Yang Li? With your cultivation, I should have long heard of you, but why haven''t I heard of the young hero''s name? " Duan Qi asked curiously when he heard what Yang Li said.


    "I''m from Liuhuo City''s Feng Ping Town. I just returned from the sect and was preparing to return home to visit my parents. Who would have thought that I would encounter such a thing halfway?"


    Yang Li, you''ve gotten rid of a great calamity for our Liuhuo City. I''ve previously made a notice that after getting rid of the mounted gangsters, our City Lord''s Mansion will reward them 5,000 Spirit Stones. Each mansion can have 100 private troops.


    "Yang Li, this trip is also to see your parents, so you won''t stay here for long. Then, we''ll just directly grant you the rights to the mansion and the private army. What do you think?" Duan Qi looked at Yang Li and asked.


    "Then, this one shall not be modest, thank you, City Lord." Yang Li bowed and said to the City Lord, even though he didn''t care about the mansion or the spirit stones.


    After all, his parents were still in Flaming Fire City, so the environment outside the city wasn''t as good as the environment inside.


    "Okay, then it''s decided. Later on, I will have my Guard Captain bring your parents over. Tonight, I will hold a celebration banquet for you at the City Lord''s Mansion. Yang Li, you and your parents will also participate!"


    Duan Qi''s tone carried an unquestionable tone. Yang Li originally wanted to refuse, but Duan Qi''s following words directly blocked him off.


    "Yang Li, don''t be in such a hurry to refuse. You''ve cultivated for a long time and suddenly owned a mansion. It''s inevitable that your parents will worry about it, but with this celebratory feast."


    "One, if you leave in the future, no one will dare to bully your parents. The City Lord''s Mansion will support your parents."


    "Secondly, your parents will be able to know your current accomplishments and will be a bit more at ease."


    "Third, let others get to know your parents as well. If that''s the case, when your parents go out in the future, most people will give your parents face because of you. On the other hand, you also have to show some of your filial piety, what do you think?"


    "This... "Alright, I''ll listen to the City Lord." When Yang Li heard Duan Qi''s words, he no longer had any reason to refuse. Although he was very unhappy, it was really unjustifiable to refuse the City Lord at this moment. He might as well agree to it.


    "Alright, then I won''t disturb you any longer. Go cultivate first, I''ll immediately have my Guard Captain go to your house and pick up your parents." Finishing, Duan Qi turned around and left. He actually didn''t ask Yang Li to send him out, but rather called Luo Xue to go with him.


    Seeing this scene, Yang Li couldn''t help but sigh. This was brought about by strength. In this world, no matter what time, strength was the most important thing. The most important thing was to have a large fist.


    In the eyes of mortals, it was possible that his strength was already so high that no one could ever hope to reach him. In the eyes of mortals, he was an extremely powerful existence.


    In reality, he was still only a martial artist at the fifth level of the Blood Tempering realm and still needed to work hard. Thinking of this, Yang Li smiled and shook his head. He sat down cross-legged and began to recover his spiritual energy.


    Time passed in a flash, and it was already evening. Yang Li had basically completely recovered, but he suddenly recalled the wonderful state he was in in in the mounted bandits'' mountain stronghold.


    He could not help but close his eyes and start thinking about that state, attempting to enter it to grasp another spiritual technique. Moreover, if he succeeded in cultivating this spiritual technique, then he would be the one who created it.


    But even at night, when Duan Qi''s Guard Captain came back to look for him, he still didn''t find that kind of state, let alone creating his own spiritual technique.


    "Young master Yang Li, your parents are already waiting for you at the City Lord''s Mansion. Do you think you should go now or when?"


    "Let''s head over now. Give me a moment." With that, Yang Li immediately stopped cultivating and left the room, preparing to leave with him.


    But after Yang Li left, he discovered that the Guard Captain''s expression was a bit ugly. He wanted to say something but didn''t dare to. He suddenly had a bad premonition.


    "Why do you look so ugly? But something has happened to my parents! " Yang Li coldly asked.


    Hearing Yang Li''s question, the Guard Captain looked a little embarrassed, but he still said: "Young master Yang Li, I''m telling you, please don''t be angry. When the few of us received your parents, there were a few tyrants bullying them, but this one has caught them both and brought them back, allowing the young master to punish them as he pleases."


    "What!" Fury blazed in Yang Li''s heart. A few months ago, he had heard that his parents had been bullied by evil bullies. Now that he heard this news, Yang Li immediately flew into a rage.


    A flash of light and shadow appeared. Yang Li directly headed towards the City Lord''s Mansion, not even waiting for the Guard Captain.


    Not long after, Yang Li arrived at the City Lord''s Mansion. He casually found a servant girl and asked her a question before heading to his parents'' room. He wanted to take a look at his parents'' situation first.


    As for those bullies, they were already dead in his heart.


    "Whoever insults my parents will be cut down without a doubt!"

 C51

    After not seeing his parents for five years, Yang Li was slightly perturbed. He knocked on his parents'' door and a middle-aged man''s voice rang out.


    "Who is it? "Come in."


    When Yang Li heard this voice, his body trembled. He pushed open the door and entered.


    In the room, a middle-aged man with an aged face was lying on the bed. His sword-like eyebrows were raised and his eyes were dim. There were traces of melancholy and fatigue on his face. A thick plaster cast was placed on his left leg.


    There was a woman in coarse hemp clothing beside him who was feeding him mouthfuls after mouthfuls of medicinal soup. Her beautiful eyes were filled with concern as she looked at the man on the bed. Her face was tainted by time, and one could vaguely see the beauty of her youth.


    When Yang Li saw this scene, he immediately fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face. He kowtowed heavily, "Father, mother, your son is unfilial. I have come late."


    "You are... "Li''er?" The man lying on the bed suddenly asked with a hint of hope in his eyes.


    "It''s me." Yang Li looked up, tears blurring his vision.


    Yang Yue and Li Xue looked up at Yang Li. Even though they hadn''t seen him in five years, Yang Li had grown taller, and his face had also changed.


    However, this bloodline connection couldn''t be faked. Looking at Yang Li''s face, Yang Yue''s eyes gradually became moist, but he didn''t shed tears.


    Yet, Xue Li''s tears couldn''t stop falling down.


    "It''s good to be back, it''s good to be back. Li''er, are you still going to come back this time?" Yang Yue''s voice was filled with the gratification of having returned home with a trace of reluctance.


    "I will leave, father, but I will leave after a few days. I will accompany you two elders." Yang Li heard the emotions in his father''s voice and his body trembled. He suppressed his impulse and spoke the truth.


    "Li Er, how many days are you going to stay here?" Li Xue still continued to cry, but her voice was filled with unwillingness and worry.


    "Mother, I will only leave after seven days. I will accompany you two elders for these seven days and will not go out." Yang Li said.


    "That''s great. Ever since you left, your mother has cried a little three days, and every five days she has caused me to nearly die of annoyance. Now, you must tell her a good story." Yang Yue''s voice was gentle and warm. At the same time, his heart ached for his son and his wife.


    "Who is crying!?" I''m just having trouble with my eyes! " Li Xue tried to argue, but when she looked at Xiang Yang Li, the hope and love in her eyes couldn''t be faked. Anyone could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her. It was the longing of a mother for her children.


    "I understand." Yang Li kowtowed once more, and when he raised his head, his voice suddenly became softer. "Father, Mother, please wait for your child. Your son will be back soon."


    "Li''er, what are you going to do?" Upon hearing that Yang Li was about to leave, Li Xue''s voice became anxious.


    "Li''er has something to do. Why are you in such a hurry? Didn''t you hear what Li''er said?" "If you''re going, then come back. Just let him go." Yang Yue said to Xue Li in a slightly blaming manner.


    "Your son is going out to take care of some trivial matters. I''ll be back soon. Mother, don''t worry." Yang Li said softly.


    "Then... Then Li''er, go ahead, but you need to come back quickly. " Li Xue''s voice still contained a strong unwillingness to part, but he listened to Yang Yue''s opinion.


    "Mother, don''t worry. I will definitely appear in front of you in an hour at the most." With that, Yang Li bowed deeply towards the two and left.


    At this moment, the killing intent in Yang Li''s heart was boiling. He was even angrier than when he killed the horse bandits.


    The plaster cast on his father''s leg had fiercely stimulated his heart from the moment he entered the room. He kept suppressing his anger to not worry his parents, but he had already resisted the urge to and took the chance to leave.


    "Ergou and the others are probably going to lose their lives. Sigh." He had just left when Yang Yue spoke to Li Xue.


    "Those beasts!" He deserved it even if he lost his life! "If it wasn''t for them, how could you be like this, Brother Yue!" Li Xue angrily looked at Yang Yue''s leg as he spoke.


    "Ai, whatever, just let Li''er be." Yang Yue sighed, but didn''t say anything.


    When Yang Li first entered, he could already see the killing intent in his eyes, but he didn''t say anything. This world was a place where the strong preyed on the weak.


    Only Yang Yue and Yang Li remained in Li Xue''s heart. She was already extremely angry that those village tyrants had injured Yang Yue. Since Yang Li had killed them, Li Xue would only feel gratified. It didn''t matter whether they were killed or not.


    Yang Li naturally didn''t know that his thoughts had already been seen through by his parents. At this moment, he had already arrived in front of Duan Qi.


    "Where are the bullies?" Yang Li''s voice was extremely cold, like ten thousand year old ice.


    When Duan Qi heard Yang Li''s ice-cold voice, he felt goosebumps all over his body. This coldness caused Duan Qi to wake up for a moment, then he replied with some respect, "They''re in the dungeon. This is the key and my command medallion. Young Master Yang, you can go directly there."


    Yang Li took the two items and rushed towards the dungeon.


    "..."


    In the bandit village, an extremely thin man in a green robe was walking up the mountain. From his brow, one could see a fierce aura, as if he had killed over a thousand people.


    Although the battle in the village had ended two days ago, the stench of blood and charred corpses had yet to completely disperse.


    The man smelled the stench of blood and quickly rushed up the mountain. The undulations emitted by his body when he moved was that of a Spiritual Movement Stage Level 2!


    When he arrived at the scene of the stronghold, his eyes were bloodshot and filled with rage.


    The corpses that littered the ground had already been collected by Duan Qi''s men. They were piled up in a random location in the village. There were only a few guards from the City Lord''s Mansion guarding the village.


    When the man saw the guards, he immediately killed several people, leaving only one behind. With a sinister voice, he asked, "Who did this!? Your Liuhuo City definitely does not have the ability to destroy our village! "


    Second, Second Leader! Let me tell you, can you not kill me? " The guard said with a trembling voice.


    "Hmm? You still dare to bargain with me? "Then go and die now!" The Second Boss'' gaze turned cold. Just as he was about to kill the guard, the guard spoke up.


    "Don''t move! Second Leader, don''t do it! It''s Yang Li, Yang Li''s doing! " In the face of death, everyone was indeed afraid. This guard didn''t even want his dignity anymore and had completely betrayed Yang Li.


    "Alright, I got it. You can die now!" The Second Leader raised his hand and smashed his head.


    The Second Leader searched back and forth among the corpses, trying to find the corpses of his eldest brother and third brother. The three of them had been relying on each other for many years.


    All of them had been killed! The Second Leader felt hatred in his heart.


    When he had finished looking through all the corpses, he also only found his big brother''s headless body. He was still in his demonic state, so he put away the corpse with a flip of his hand.


    This person gave off a tyrannical aura as he slowly walked out of the village. After kowtowing three times, he said in a cold voice, "Brothers, blood will be repaid in debt! "I, second brother, will definitely go all out to seek revenge!"


    After he had finished speaking, he jumped to the west and disappeared not long after.


    "..."


    After Yang Li entered the dungeon, because he had the City Lord Token, no one dared to stop him. He directly walked to the cage where the tyrants were.


    Several gangster-like figures were sitting in the prison. Their brows were all tightly knitted, and the fear on their faces could be vaguely seen.


    "All of you deserve to die!" Yang Li saw a few people, and thought of his father''s legs. The anger in his heart gradually rose.


    "Who are you?" One of the bullies asked with fear on his face.


    "My name is Yang Li! Yang Yue''s son! "


    "Yang Li? Didn''t you die in the Sky Mist Sect! Why did it suddenly appear?! " The bully said with a trembling voice.


    When Yang Li heard this, he felt something was amiss. He opened his mouth and asked, "Who told you I died in the Sky Mist Sect?!"


    "Sky Mist Sect''s disciple is called Mo Luo!" He told us that you were dead and wanted us to bully your parents. Originally, we didn''t want to do this, because he had already injured Uncle Yang''s leg. The bully pointed at one of them and said shakily, trying to get rid of his relationship.


    When Yang Li heard Mo Luo''s name, he immediately understood what was going on. He sneered and said, "You guys have lives to take money, and don''t have lives to spend! No matter what, it can''t change the fact that my parents were injured by you! "All of you, go to hell!"


    A fiery red spiritual energy swept out, covering the entire dungeon in the blink of an eye! The thick flames started to burn, and the screams of the bullies immediately came from the dungeon. In just a few breaths, all of them were completely silenced.


    Yang Li walked out and casually threw the token and key to the prison guard, then walked towards his parents'' room.


    "Ten Thousand! How dare you attack my parents! I hope that you will never walk out of the sect in your life! " As Yang Li walked, he thought of the tyrant''s words. The anger in his heart raged, and at the same time, he felt a deep sense of guilt.


    His father''s injuries were actually caused by him!


    "I wonder if there are any healing pills left behind by bandits. Let''s take a look." Recalling his father''s injury, Yang Li felt extreme pain in his heart. He flipped through the Cosmic Bag Duan Qi gave him and casually threw the other items into his spatial ring.


    Soon, he found the Gold Injury Pill needed for his injuries. If he combined it with the Body Constructing Pill, his father''s injuries should recover in less than a week.


    However, this group of mounted gangsters came from an unknown source and still had a few Blood Tempering Realm Comprehension Pills. Coincidentally, Yang Li''s Heaven''s Circle hadn''t been fully cultivated yet and he forgot to buy them back at the sect.


    "Accompany your parents during the day and train at night." Yang Li thought to himself.


    Not long after, he arrived at his parents'' house. The door wasn''t closed, and Yang Yue and Li Xue were both waiting for him as they chatted.


    "Father, mother, I''m back." Yang Li returned to the house, smiled, and greeted his parents.


    "Come and sit down, and tell your parents how you''ve been doing in the sect all these years." Li Xue smiled as she greeted Yang Li. Yang Yue also had a smile on his face as he pricked up his ears, ready to listen to Yang Li''s experiences over the past few years.


    "Mom, please wait for a moment. Give these two pills to father to consume. Father''s legs will recover in a few days." Yang Li said.


    "Good, good, good. Li''er is really promising. He can even find such an elixir." The smile on Li Xueyi''s face did not lessen as he spoke softly. His voice was filled with the love he had for his son.


    After consuming the pill, the two once again asked Yang Li about his experiences in the past few years. Yang Li agreed that he wouldn''t say anything bad and slowly recounted his own experiences.


    Only when the City Lord sent someone to invite the three of them to the celebratory feast did they temporarily stop.

 C52

    When Yang Li participated in the celebratory feast, he was frequently toasted by the rich and powerful merchants of Liuhuo City. However, he was able to use his spirit energy to force out the smell of alcohol, so he didn''t embarrass himself by helping his parents block a lot of alcohol.


    "City Lord!" A city lord guard ran in in panic. When Duan Qi saw this, he shouted in anger, "What''s the matter, why are you so flustered!"


    When the others heard the City Governor''s voice, they all stopped talking. Duan Qi looked at the guard and saw this situation. He waved his hand and called him to his side, asking, "What''s the matter?"


    "City lord, the guards left in the village have been killed." The guard whispered.


    "Hmm? Killed? " Duan Qi frowned, then said, "Wait for me at the back, we''ll talk about it later." When the guard heard this, he immediately left.


    Duan Qi stood up at the same time and said, "Everyone, don''t worry. It''s just that there''s a small problem with my wife. I''m really sorry that it affected everyone''s mood. Everyone continue, everyone continue. I''ll go deal with it first."


    "The Mayor is in serious trouble. If there''s anything he needs help with, feel free to speak!" One of the merchants who was drinking till his ears turned red stood up and said, while the others also followed suit.


    "It''s nothing, it''s nothing. It''s just a small matter. I don''t need to trouble everyone. I''ll be leaving first. Everyone, have a good drink." Duan Qi said with a smile, then turned around and left.


    With Yang Li''s hearing, he had naturally heard the guard''s words. However, he didn''t think too much and continued to deal with the wine of the rich and powerful merchants.


    Yang Yue and Li Xue were naturally toasted by others as well, but they were both blocked by Yang Li. The two of them looked at Yang Li with a satisfied and gratified smile.


    When the celebratory feast had completely dispersed, Yang Li and Li Xue supported Yang Yue back into the house. They then bowed and said, "Father, mother, you two rest first. Your son will accompany you two tomorrow."


    "Alright, alright, alright. Li''er, you should go rest as well." Yang Yue gently said.


    "You must come tomorrow, Li''er." Li Xue seemed to be afraid of Yang Li leaving and spoke with worry.


    "Mother, don''t worry. Your son will definitely come." Yang Li laughed.


    "Alright, then go back and rest." Li Xue reluctantly said,


    Yang Li smiled and nodded, then turned and left.


    Over the next few days, Yang Li spent the day with his parents, talking about his life in the sect, as well as some trifling matters. He also gave his parents the pills and other things, explaining in detail how to use them.


    "Hai, it''s time to go." Yang Li sighed. Although he really didn''t want to leave his parents, he still wanted to cultivate. The stronger he became, the more time he would have to accompany his parents.


    In the morning, Yang Li wrote a letter and called a servant in to send it to his parents.


    He truly didn''t want to experience the feeling of parting. After doing everything, Yang Li headed towards Duan Qi''s residence. He still had to understand the matters of the village a few days ago.


    "Dong, dong, dong."


    Yang Li lightly knocked on Duan Qi''s door, and before long, Duan Qi''s voice sounded.


    "Who is it? "Come in."


    Yang Li pushed the door and entered, directly saying, "Greetings, City Lord. I''ve come this time to inquire about something."


    "Oh? It''s Yang Li, you have something to say. " Duan Qi said with a smile when he saw that it was Yang Li.


    "It''s like this, Mayor. A few days ago, at the celebratory feast, I heard from the guards that the guards left behind in the village had been killed. I wonder what was the reason?" Yang Li asked.


    "Young Master Yang, if you don''t look for me for this matter, I would like to find you to remind you to be careful. When you destroyed the mountain stronghold, only the bandit boss and the Third Master were present. It is said that the Second Master went to other places to help them establish a relationship."


    "This time, the guards in the village have been killed. I believe that the second in command has returned. If you leave the city, they might stop you."


    "The bandit leader is their brain. The reason why he was unable to exterminate them was because he had done a great service. Every time he heard the news, he would slip away ahead of time." Duan Qi said in a deep voice.


    "Mayor, you''re overthinking it. I was just about to return to the sect, so I took care of it in the way." When Yang Li heard this, he casually said it. At the same time, he understood why Duan Qi, who was at the fourth level of the Spirit Movement Stage, was unable to exterminate the mounted gangsters.


    "If Young Master Yang can help me deal with this, that would be for the best. I thank Young Master Yang on behalf of the citizens of Liuhuo City." Duan Qi cupped his fists and said.


    "City lord is too polite, but after I return to the sect, my parents would like to ask City lord to take care of me."


    "It''s just a small matter. Rest assured, Young Master Yang. As long as I''m in Flaming Fire City, nothing will happen to Young Master Yang''s parents!" Duan Qi patted his chest and guaranteed.


    "Alright, many thanks Sir Mayor. I''ll be leaving first. Goodbye, Sir!" Yang Li nodded and flew out of the city.


    "..."


    Outside of Liuhuo City, not far from the mounted bandits'' village.


    "Brothers, that brat has come out. I hope you guys won''t go easy on him." The Second Leader said to the people around him with a cold expression.


    He had already found a helper several days ago and had gone to the city to investigate personally. After finding out about Yang Li''s identity, he had even arranged for spies at the city gates in order to obtain news of him as soon as Yang Li had left and block him off.


    "Second brother, don''t worry. Since you have already joined us, we will naturally do our best to help you." A fatty said with a face full of smiles.


    "I hope so, but don''t be careless. Although he is only at the fifth level of the Blood Tempering stage, he killed my big brother at the third level of the Spirit Movement Stage!" The Second Leader said again.


    "Don''t worry. The three of us are at the third level of the Spiritual Movement Stage and you are at the second level. It can''t be that we can''t kill him?" Didn''t they say that he fainted after destroying your mountain stronghold? It''s probably not a big deal. " Another man said.


    "Wang Feng! I''ll tell you again, don''t bring this up again! " The second brother said angrily, his eyes full of bone-deep hatred.


    "Fine, fine, fine. I won''t say anymore." The depths of his eyes were filled with contempt. He was just a dog that had lost its home. If it were not for the fact that they had taken a fancy to his mind and strength, they would never have accepted him and even agreed to help him take revenge.


    "But are you sure it won''t be a problem for us to kill him? A battle that surpasses eight small realms, and there was even a great realm between them. This sort of heaven defying talent is simply too heaven-defying. How could their sect not pay attention to him? " the fat man asked.


    "As long as his limbs are clean, then it''s fine. If their sect couldn''t find anything, then his death would be a waste of time." The second brother said.


    "It''s here. Get ready." The person who had been silent all this time suddenly opened his mouth and said.


    Yang Li slowly walked over from afar. He was also waiting for the horse bandits. His parents were still in Flaming Fire City. If that bandit''s Second Leader wasn''t killed, his parents would be in great danger.


    However, he had already wandered around for a long time and still couldn''t find that bandit number two. He could not help but have a headache.


    At this time, a sinister voice suddenly entered his ears: "Brat, you sure are bold!"


    Four mounted gangsters of all shapes and sizes appeared in front of him. As the Spiritual Energy fluctuation was emitted out, it was surprisingly three in the third level of the Spiritual Movement Stage and one in the second level.


    Yang Li frowned and muttered, "This is a little troublesome, why are there four more?"


    "Kid, what are you talking to yourself about? Now we will give you two choices. First, you kill yourself, and then we can leave you with a complete corpse. Secondly, the four of us will dismember your corpse! " The fat guy said arrogantly.


    "Oh? Tear me up? Why don''t you try it? "Blood Explosion!" When Yang Li heard this, he disdainfully smiled and immediately activated the Blood Explosion Technique. His cultivation had risen to the ninth level of the Blood Tempering Stage, and he coldly looked at them as he spoke.


    "Hehe, explosive martial arts. Are you trying to struggle with your life on the line?" But your result is already decided! " Wang Feng said.


    "Yang Li! Revenge for the extermination of the stronghold, a blood debt that would be repaid with blood! Drinking blood, turning blood into a river! " The second brother no longer bickered. He immediately struck out.


    Boundless spirit energy formed into the shape of a dark red blood as it rushed towards Yang Li like a mighty river. Yang Li''s eyebrows twitched as he smiled: "With this level, you can''t keep me here!"


    "Flame God Spear Art, Divine Flame Masked the Heavens!" Yang Li waved his long spear, and a burning curtain of fire suddenly appeared, blocking the attack of the second brother.


    "Drinking the Blood Fan, your blood is like a mountain!" An illusionary dark-red mountain appeared. As the dark-red Spiritual Energy entered it, it emitted a heart-palpitating fluctuation as it fiercely smashed towards Yang Li.


    "Soaring Flame Dragon!" Yang Li unfurled his Floating Light Flash, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the number two. He dodged his spirit arts, and thrusted his spear at him.


    Upon seeing this, the others all moved to block the attack for their second brother.


    "Brat, do you think we don''t exist?! "Flame Spear, extinguish!" Wang Feng bellowed as he thrust his spear towards Yang Li. Flames rose up as he charged forward with a momentum that could destroy everything.


    "Saber Break Tactic, Broken Saber!" Fatty roared, the remnants of his sabre imprints appearing on the surface of his blade. The desolate and sharp aura seemed as though it could shatter everything.


    "Rope of Radiance!" A dazzling rope charged towards Yang Li at the same time.


    Yang Li did not even pay attention to them and continued to attack the bandit number two. The attacks of Wang Feng and the others landed on the round ground and instantly caused cracks to appear on it, but they did not shatter. Yang Li also did not receive any injuries.


    "Fan!" The second brother hurriedly used a defensive spirit art to block Yang Li''s attack.


    The fire dragon directly smashed into the flourishing barrier that was Second Brother''s defense. In an instant, both barriers shattered, but Yang Li''s attacks didn''t stop.


    Of the four, his cultivation was the weakest, so he had to first kill one person to reduce the pressure.


    "Nirvana Flames!" A sharp, fiery light emerged from Yang Li''s spearhead, driving the spirit energy within Yang Li''s body. It formed a bright line of fire, piercing through two shattered spirit arts to attack the Second Brother''s chest.


    "This is bad!" Looking at the line of fire in front of him, the second brother felt despair in his heart. He couldn''t understand why Yang Li would disregard the attacks of those people and want to kill him!


    "Even if I die, you won''t be able to do anything! "Drinking blood fan, Blood Shadow enters the body!" The folding fan in the second brother''s hand moved and turned into a transparent shadow of blood as he viciously charged towards Yang Li.


    Even Yang Li''s Heaven''s Circle was unable to block Yang Li. Yang Li was instantly shocked. He could only feel a tyrannical and infernal energy enter his body, fusing into his blood.


    However, he felt something different enter into his blood. It immediately rose up and vaporized the energy.


    Moreover, his spear had completely pierced the Second Brother''s chest. Before his death, the Second Brother had still laughed heartily, "Yang Li, feel it. "Haha!"


    Yang Li chuckled and said, "You won''t be able to see it."


    "Explode!"


    The flame could instantly trigger and explode the second brother''s body, leaving nothing behind.


    When the other three saw this scene, they couldn''t help but feel goosebumps. Yang Li had killed one of them so quickly, and it was at the second level of the Spirit Movement Stage. This youth at the ninth level of the Blood Tempering Stage had terrifying combat strength.


    After looking at each other, Wang Feng said, "Little brother, this is a misunderstanding. We three brothers will leave first."


    "Hmm?" Yang Li originally wanted to kill the bandit''s second brother and fight with the others, but upon hearing this, he was stunned.

 C53

    Yang Li stood in confrontation with the others. Wang Feng said with an obsequious smile, "Cough cough, Brother Yang, we were tempted by this fellow and do not insist on going against you."


    "Brother Yang, since you''re so strong, you must be the most favored disciple of the large sect. There''s no need to go against us lowly bandits, right?" The fatty said shamelessly. As he spoke, he even ignored his own dignity.


    Yang Li''s strange movements and tyrannical strength were clearly seen by them. If they continued to fight, even if they killed him, they would still have one or two people left on their side. It would be better to just admit defeat and quickly leave.


    "Heh, you two came with him to stop me. You want to kill me, but now you have to take away your responsibility with a few words. Is it possible that I don''t kill you?" Although Yang Li didn''t have the confidence to kill the three of them, based on their performance, they would definitely obtain some benefits if they became stronger!


    "Brother Yang Li, how about this? The Fire Melting City is about to hold an auction. I presume you would want to take a look as well, Brother Yang Li." Even mounted gangsters were afraid of death, although he did not think that Yang Li would definitely be able to kill him.


    But according to Yang Li''s performance, his sect would definitely arrange for people to protect him or give him a life saving treasure. Moreover, his strength was obvious to all. Even if he couldn''t kill them, he could still run away.


    When the sect learned that they might be sent to kill them in the future, they might as well admit their mistake and pay some money.


    "Since Brother Yang Li wishes to participate in the auction, then we three brothers would like to invite Young Hero to accept this offer. It''s not suitable to settle this grudge between us, so we three will take our leave first." Wang Feng threw a Cosmic Bag.


    Yang Li did not directly reach out to grab it. Instead, he picked up the Qiankun bag and sneered: "It''s best if I don''t find any problems when I look at it. Otherwise, I will flatten your mountain stronghold!"


    "Right now, I don''t know what your village looks like, but if I find out that you guys are massacring villages or killing innocent people, I will still stomp your village flat! Do you understand? "


    "I understand, I understand. Brother Yang Li, don''t worry, the three of us will leave first. Goodbye, brother Yang Li." After Wang Feng finished speaking, he hurriedly called out to his two companions and left.


    Walking to a place that Yang Li couldn''t see, Wang Feng said, "The two of you, each of you will give me fifteen thousand spiritual stones when you get back! Damn it, I, your father, will take out 45,000 spirit stones myself! "


    The other two bandits nodded with a sad face. Fifteen thousand Spirit Stones was already two-thirds of their wealth. However, compared to their lives, their lives were more important. However, they did not see the joy on Wang Feng''s face after they agreed.


    As Yang Li saw them leave, he also headed in the opposite direction. As he walked, he looked at the Cosmic Bag that Wang Feng had handed to him. It was actually 30,000 low-grade spirit stones!


    Yang Li couldn''t help but wonder why each of the sect''s spiritual movement disciples was poorer than the last!


    However, Yang Li had also forgotten that most of the disciples of the sect were cultivating in the sect and rarely left. The bandits and the others would rob their families every day, and the spirit stones that their subordinates had stolen would basically be taken away by them.


    The spirit stones given to him had all been collected over the past ten years, so naturally, he would appear to be a bit richer. However, in reality, if the sect disciples worked hard to earn spirit stones, they would only earn more and not less than them.


    However, Yang Li didn''t think too much into it. His heart was burning with passion as he thought, "It seems that I don''t have spirit stones in the future. I can rob bandits, mounted bandits, and bandits. I won''t feel any psychological pressure." Yang Li thought as he walked forward.


    After he finished sizing up the Cosmic Bag, Yang Li immediately used his movement technique and walked towards the nearby towns. The Bloodline Secret Technique was about to end, he had to find an inn to spend the period of weakness.


    Not long after, Yang Li saw a town. After entering the town, he found an inn to stay in. He only left after he became completely exhausted.


    Before leaving, Yang Li asked the innkeeper in which direction was the Fire Melting City. After receiving a reply, he walked straight towards the city.


    He was still very interested in the auction that Wang Feng mentioned. After all, he had never participated in it before, so there might be some things that were suitable for him to use.


    "..."


    After two full days, Yang Li finally arrived at Fire Melting City. However, Fire Melting City was still fairly close to the sect, so it wouldn''t take too long to arrive within two days.


    After entering the city, Yang Li made some inquiries and found out that the auction would only officially start three days later. He found an inn and checked his items and spirit stones.


    There was no need to talk about the Lying Phoenix Spear and the Summoning Spirit Formation Stone Plate. Other than using it in daily battles, the Lying Phoenix Spear was slowly recovering on the stone tray. During the days he spent with his parents, he had asked Feng''er about it.


    Feng''er said that the power she could currently unleash was around the middle rank of the Xuan class.


    He now had over 85,000 spirit stones. Originally, he had more than 10,000 spirit stones, but after exterminating the bandits'' village, he earned close to 40,000 spirit stones. Duan Qi gave him another 5000 spirit stones, and the robber gave him 30,000 spirit stones a few days ago.


    "So it turns out that I''m quite rich now." Yang Li could not help but laugh as he continued to count.


    There were some junk among the mounted bandits'' items that were useless to him as he cleaned them out immediately. There seemed to be some low grade healing pills and what looked like a treasure map. There were many mountains and a route drawn on it.


    He might as well put it on hold for now. He would study it when he had time.


    After the spirit stones were removed, he only had the nether wolf demon cores. Originally, he had around two thousand, but Feng''er had recovered and continued absorbing nether wolf demon cores. Now, he only had around five hundred left.


    Moreover, Feng Er only absorbed 200 demon cores each time. Presumably, in a few days, these demon cores would be gone as well.


    "It seems that when I go back, I''ll have to find a time to hunt some demon beasts in the Misty Cloud Mountain Range. Otherwise, Feng''er won''t have any demon cores to absorb." Yang Li muttered.


    Other than these, Yang Li only had the beast skin and the Divine Phoenix Sword. There was no need to mention how the beast skin was a great weapon that greatly increased his cultivation.


    As for the Divine Phoenix Sword, Yang Li did not use a sword. Furthermore, this sword was left for Su Wanqing to use. Naturally, Yan Wushuang''s sword was more suited to the technique. Su Wanqing''s usage was just right for her.


    "I don''t have much left. I should go and cultivate. In three days time, I will see if there are any good things in this so-called auction." Yang Li no longer looked at the spatial ring and started cultivating the Flame God Incantation.


    He felt that his cultivation was too low, and he was also told about the matter of the horse bandits. Only by having an even higher cultivation could he better protect the people he wanted to protect.


    Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Yang Li woke up from his cultivation and walked towards the auction place.


    This auction was organized by a cultivator company that covered the entire continent. It was said that there were Earth Grade treasures as well as high grade spirit pills.


    The entrance of the auction house was already packed with people. There were many black-armored cultivators on both sides of the entrance, and the waves emitted by them were at least at the Spirit Realm. This made people sigh at the strength of this company.


    There were also two black balls at the entrance. The person who came had to instill spirit energy into them. If they emitted light, they could enter, but the mortals had to leave because mortals couldn''t participate in auctions.


    Yang Li stood at the back of the group and silently followed the group. Before long, they reached the entrance, and as Yang Li poured his spirit energy into it, he released a weak red glow, and a big five appeared on the surface.


    A black-armored cultivator at the side coldly said, "Fifth level of the Blood Tempering Stage. Go in."


    Yang Li did not respond to him and directly walked in. After finding a random seat to sit down, Yang Li began to size up the entire auction hall.


    The seats in the hall were arranged in a semicircle around the central grandstand. There were many private rooms on both sides of the hall, divided according to the four ranks of the heaven, earth, dark, and yellow.


    At this moment, Yang Li suddenly saw three Cloud Faction disciples walk toward the front. He could not help but sneer. He had not forgotten about the Ancient Wind Faction''s secret plane.


    "Since you dare to come, then don''t go back!" Yang Li muttered, no longer bothering himself with the others, and closed his eyes to begin cultivating.


    Soon, the hall was filled with people. The door was also blocked by the black armored cultivator, leaving only a path for one person to walk through.


    The red coral, infused with spiritual power, emitted a gentle light, illuminating the entire stands. Soon after, an extremely beautiful young woman wearing a black dress walked onto the stage, and said this.


    "Everyone is welcome to participate in this auction. I am the auctioneer of this time''s auction, Xue Bingyun. According to the convention, I will announce the rules."


    Xue Bingyun''s voice was extremely sweet and pleasant to listen to, making one feel very comfortable. It was just that the words that she said next made one feel a little uncomfortable.


    "First, no one is allowed to fight in this auction, violators will be thrown out with their limbs crippled! Regardless of his status! We will never again be allowed to participate in the auction organized by our Lunar Searching Merchant Guild! "


    "Second, all items in the auction are sold to those with high prices. This Chamber of Commerce guarantees that no one in the auction will dare to take your items!"


    "Third, in order to prevent everyone from running out of spirit stones, you can call the maids to use their own items to exchange for spirit stones. The price will be set in the market."


    "Fourth, if the item is precious enough, you can all request an additional item from us."


    "Now that the rules have been announced, I won''t waste any more time on nonsense. Now, let''s begin the auction!"


    When Yang Li heard the complete rule, he couldn''t help but inwardly sigh at how strong and strong the Lunar Searching Merchant Guild was.


    "First item, top-grade yellow-rank weapon: Star Fragment Saber. Starting price, five thousand low-rank soul stones. Each increment must be at least a hundred low-rank soul stones!"


    "This blade can greatly increase the power of your spiritual energy and your blade techniques. At the same time, it also has a reusable magical formation inside, a starlight formation. When the situation is critical, it can activate the magical formation and attack the enemy. It''s also an extremely precious weapon."


    "Fellow Daoists with sabers can directly bid now."


    Top-grade yellow-rank weapons were usually used by cultivators that were at or above the eighth level of the Spiritual Movement Stage. It was extremely rare, and it was extremely difficult for ordinary Spiritual Movement Stage cultivators to obtain one.


    However, the first item to be auctioned was a top grade yellow-rank weapon. This caused Yang Li to be somewhat surprised. Of course, this also demonstrated the Moon Searching Merchant Guild''s strength.


    "Five thousand low-rank soul stones!" A burly man with a saber on his back shouted.


    "Five thousand and you still have the nerve to shout it out!?" "Five thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones!" Another person looked at him with disdain.


    "Five thousand eight hundred low-rank soul stones!"


    "¡­"


    "Seven thousand low-rank soul stones!"


    The competition continued and soon, the price rose to seven thousand low-rank soul stones. However, this price was only the normal price of a top-grade yellow-rank weapon.


    After a quarter-hour, the bidding finally stopped. The price was set at 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. Although there was a slight premium, it was not considered a loss.


    Yang Li, who had initially thought that he was a rich person, couldn''t help but sigh, "These people are really too damn rich!"
