Chapter 434: Picking up the leak
With golden light flashing in his eyes, he glanced at the entire imperial city.
Under the power of Taixu's golden pupil, nothing could escape his gaze. In the end, Chi Jiuyu's gaze rested on a corner of the imperial palace.
"found it."
She muttered something, and the cyan-gold sword that was originally hovering in the sky began to sway and fall towards the palace.
At the same time, she summoned out the light blue translucent panel projected by the Taixuan Immortal Net.
【Name: Chi Jiuyu】
【Age: 23】
[Realm: Early Stage of Divine Transformation]
[This loading system: Balance of Time]
[Current points: 0]
[Evaluation: Abstract, the number one genius in the universe]
[Remaining time: 128:56:43]
Apart from the addition of a remaining time option, the entire Taixuanxianwang panel has basically not changed.
One hundred and twenty-eight hours. If she has not reached the cultivation world of this world after that, she will be eliminated and her ranking will be directly settled.
It can be regarded as a circle-shrinking mechanism unique to the "Battle Royale" rules.
Otherwise, the world is so big, wouldn't those old guys from the Supreme Taoist Sect be hiding forever?
But this is the only restriction. Apart from this, everyone can use any means to eliminate their competitors in this Immortal Sect Competition.
Gee!
What a simple and crude rule, it made even the supreme wisdom of her Nine Fish Ancestor completely useless!
In this case, if you run into those old guys in their 50s or 60s, there is little room for you to outsmart them...
It seems that I still have to rely on this Time Balance System.
It is worth mentioning that after research, Chi Jiuyu has preliminarily figured out the "plug-in" or "golden finger" he got this time.
The Time Balance System is an auxiliary module of the 'Time Cause and Effect' series of rules.
You can weaken your opponent to a certain extent based on the age difference between yourself and your opponent.
To put it simply, it means to bring the opponent's cultivation level and overall state to a time period similar to one's own age.
At the age of 23, she is undoubtedly the most suitable for this age balance system.
If she could bring her opponent back to the age of 23, then she, the Nine Fish Ancestor, would be invincible!
Twenty-three years old!
Besides myself, who else can achieve the state of spiritual enlightenment at this age?
Could it be that a mere Nascent Soul wanted to defeat her, the Nine Fishermen Ancestor?
But unfortunately, the weakening is not that exaggerated.
Not to mention that the effect on other participants in the Immortal Sect Competition would be greatly weakened because of their own solid foundations, not to mention that this "system" has only released 20% of its performance so far.
The remaining performance will not be released until the circle is 'shrinked'.
'Alas~'
Chi Jiuyu sighed silently in his heart.
Not only was there no place for the supreme wisdom to be used, but the plug-in given was actually a half-finished product...
It seems that this Immortal Sect Competition is not going to be easy.
emm...
I don’t know how Xiao Zhao and Xiao Yunlu are doing now.
Xiao Zhao's level is pretty good, but he doesn't know where the 'initial birth point' is.
As for Xiao Yunlu, I heard that they were sent to another trial field this time, and I don’t know what the situation is.
Xiao Yunlu is still lacking in all aspects. Although the senior sister has given her emergency training during this period, the time is too short and it is still very difficult for her to win the championship.
……
……
While his mind was in a state of confusion, Chi Jiuyu had already floated above the imperial palace.
Looking down.
Inside the triple moon-shaped door with peony patterns, the copper crane incense burner in the inner hall was emitting green smoke, and nine Taoist nuns in white gauze were walking slowly along the corridor holding green porcelain bottles.
Each of them has fair skin and beautiful appearance.
Finally, he stopped in front of the alchemy room with a shark gauze curtain and watched the white-haired emperor in a crimson gauze robe pick up cinnabar with a silver needle and draw the last cloud seal on the jute paper.
The seal characters are winding, vigorous and powerful, as if a blue dragon is locked up by an imperial decree, which does have some extraordinary meaning.
"This dog emperor is really something."
A strange look appeared on Chi Jiuyu's face. She originally thought that this dog emperor was just messing around.
She remained silent and continued to watch.
The emperor held up the drawn talisman, looked at it from left to right, and felt that every stroke was done to perfection.
But the more I looked at it, the more upset I became.
Ever since he obtained the method of making talismans from an immortal master of the Cang Xuan Dynasty by chance several years ago, he has worked very hard on it and has never slacked off for a single day!
But why is this longevity talisman still not effective at all?
"Humph!"
After a cold snort, he tore the talisman paper in his hand into pieces.
The Taoist nuns in white gauze who were holding the celadon bottles were so frightened that they fell to their knees, their hearts filled with panic.
However, the emperor did not turn around. After tearing the talisman into pieces, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
It took a while before I finally calmed down.
It doesn't matter. I still have the 'Transformation into Immortality' formation. Even if the longevity talisman doesn't work, I can definitely do it with the formation...
"Tsk tsk! I say you, the dog emperor, are really courting death."
The voice behind him interrupted his thoughts directly.
Ok? !
After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly turned around and looked at the sky. The scene he saw made his pupils shrink.
A figure was sitting upright on a cyan-gold sword, just hanging quietly in the air.
Looks a bit sloppy...
wrong!
It's free and easy!
Sword Immortal?
Such a term emerged in the emperor's mind.
The thing he had wanted all his life appeared before his eyes again. His lips trembled twice, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
It was then that he realized something was wrong.
All the secret sentries in the palace and the guards arranged around him seemed to be blind, and no one rushed out to "protect the emperor".
Even the nine Taoist nuns in white gauze who were kneeling on the ground were still prostrating themselves, and none of them looked up.
"I...I...I." He changed his self-proclaimed name several times in a row, and finally bowed and said, "Pang Ling, the Emperor of Panyun Country in the human world, greets the Sword Immortal."
Having witnessed the Immortal Master's power with his own eyes, he did not have the slightest bit of arrogance in his heart at this moment.
Or rather, the only pride he had was completely worn away by his aging body over the years.
Sword Immortal?
Chi Jiuyu paused and said, "You, the dog emperor, are quite good at talking."
"..." Pang Ling was silent for a while, but he was not angry. "I wonder what the Sword Immortal is doing here?"
"Of course it's to kill you." Chi Jiuyu said directly.
Pang Ling was somewhat stunned by the straightforward words: "Have I... offended you, Sword Immortal?"
It was ridiculous. I had been drawing talismans in the palace and had hardly ever been out, so how could I have offended a sword immortal for no apparent reason?
"I've looked all the way here and found that you don't seem to be a good person."
Just as Pang Ling was about to open his mouth to defend himself, Chi Jiuyu spoke first: "But it seems like you haven't been like this for two days, so I don't have to do it."
I only have two days left?!
"I don't know where you got this spell from. It's somewhat useful, but if you use it too much it will drain your life force. So... you're almost dead now."
I originally thought I would have to do it myself, but this guy is about to die, so I might as well let him die with a clear mind.
"Isn't that a longevity talisman?" Pang Ling blurted out.
"A life-extending talisman? You think too much. Under normal circumstances, mid- and low-end talismans cannot have this function." Chi Jiuyu took out a piece of talisman paper and shook it, "Yours is not even a basic talisman." Not even a basic talisman?
Chi Jiuyu spoke casually, but Pang Ling's face suddenly turned pale. He staggered back two steps, covering his heaving chest, and stopped leaning on the table.
The talismans I have been drawing for so many years not only drain my life essence, but they are not even basic talismans?
This truth was hard for him to accept.
He instinctively didn't want to believe it, but his reason reminded him that this was the truth.
Ever since he obtained the method of making talismans from the Cang Xuan Dynasty several years ago, he has been practicing hard day and night, but his health has been getting worse day by day and is no longer as good as before.
He had always thought it was caused by being too obsessed and overworked, but now that he thought about it...
It's okay, I still have the 'Transformation to Immortality Formation'...
"Oh, right, that big formation down there is a 'blood-refining-into-spirit' type of formation."
Chi Jiuyu snapped his fingers and a sword light shot out.
A cold light flashed in the void and sank into the ground. Its unparalleled sharpness made people feel cold in their hearts.
Rumble!
The ground in front of the alchemy room collapsed and sank inward, revealing a dark space within.
It's clearly an underground palace!
There is also a huge blood pool in it, which is filled with the blood of ferocious beasts. There are twisted array patterns painted on the side of the pool, which is very creepy.
There is only one last step left before the formation is completed - to 'enlighten' it with nine liters of premature infant's heart blood.
Because the blood collected within an hour had to be used, Pang Ling only ordered people to build a pregnancy-saving hall, but had no time to start...
Most of the methods circulating in the Xuanxiang world today are derived from the "Mu Ling" Taoist tradition left by Xuan, so there are a lot of such methods.
"Forget about your desire to use this formation to prolong your life. It's basically impossible."
Pang Ling, who was still shocked by the sword immortal's methods, felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.
"You are too old, and your body is seriously weak. Even if you have unparalleled talent, even if you have one percent of my talent, you will never be able to successfully cultivate your Qi with the help of this."
"Not to mention you don't even have any skills."
"Just wait to die. There's no hope."
Chi Jiuyu patted the hilt of the sword as if she was issuing a verdict, and the cyan-gold sword carrying her disappeared into the horizon.
Pang Ling wanted to say something, but after struggling for a while, he saw that she left so easily, and his face turned pale and dark.
I felt depressed and angry.
puff!
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person fell to the ground, with his vision becoming blurry.
Noisy sounds came from all directions, but he could no longer hear them.
Suddenly, he felt his body becoming lighter and lighter, and auspicious clouds seemed to appear under his feet. Three flowers appeared on his head, carrying him up into the sky.
A door decorated with precious jade, with rays of rosy light and auspiciousness flowing through it, and all the wise men and sages of the ancient times gathered inside.
In another trance, all the strange visions disappeared, people gathered, and the sandalwood rising to the sky was as dense as a weave.
Where are the auspicious clouds, where are the three flowers on the top...
"Hahaha! It's fake! It's all fake! Hahaha!"
Pang Ling died amidst a burst of laughter.
……
……
"You're going to die now?"
From high above, Chi Jiuyu scratched his head as he watched this scene.
"Is it that what we said was too much of a blow to him... or is it that he is just too fragile?"
I sat in the air and thought for a while, and soon I stopped worrying about it.
He tapped the hilt of his sword: "Let's go!"
The sword light turned into a rainbow and wrapped around itself, and a line of blue light cut through the sky.
Thanks to the powerful divine consciousness of the Spirit Transformation Realm, she has discovered the location of the cultivation world.
This dog emperor was so angry that his defense was broken. The next focus must be on the Immortal Sect Competition. None of the opponents this time are easy to deal with.
Just like that, the sword light soon arrived at the edge of the border of Panyun Country——
An endless sea.
Rumor has it that there are huge sea monsters living in the sea here, and countless ships have explored this area and never returned.
Therefore, this sea is also called the 'Sea of No Return'.
But in fact, the reason why those who explored the sea area failed to come back was not because there was really such a so-called "sea monster".
This is because the Tianling Sect has set up a soul-locking and void-forbidden formation in the middle section of this sea area, the purpose of which is to prevent spiritual energy from leaking into the mortal world.
No entry allowed, no exit allowed.
Those fleets that strayed into it would probably have been wiped out long ago.
Nowadays, in the cultivation world of Xuanxiang Realm, even those immortal cultivators have been skinned, their bones broken, and their marrow squeezed out, not to mention some ordinary people who have mistakenly entered it.
The sword light crossed the sea, reached the middle, and then disappeared into the void.
……
……
【City of No Return】
One of the largest "immortal cities" in the Xuanxiang Realm, its scale far exceeds that of the [Paper Shedding Immortal City].
It is located at the junction of the areas under the jurisdiction of the Tianling Sect and the Blood Vajra Temple. The city lord has reached the level of Fanxu cultivation and is called the Bugui Immortal Venerable by cultivators. He also serves as a guest elder of the Blood Vajra Temple.
However, as the leader of the righteous path and the most powerful sect in the Xuanxiang Realm, Immortal Bugui himself was also very polite to the Tianling Sect.
When disciples of the Tianling Sect come to the City of No Return, they can enjoy the same treatment as the disciples of the Blood Vajra Temple.
Not only is the city entry fee reduced by 50%, but various taxes are also reduced to varying degrees.
Moreover, as long as one is a disciple of the Tianling Sect, he or she will have level three purchasing authority as soon as he or she enters the venue, and can directly purchase living souls, mortal flesh and blood, and the like.
Above the Sea of No Return, a group of burly search team members wearing blood-red robes and with bloody diamond patterns engraved on their bald heads were searching along the sea.
They were so dense that they looked like a group of blood mosquitoes floating on the sea.
A hidden sword light flashed by without attracting any attention.
call out!
The light of the Qingming sword fell on a small hill far away from the city, fell into the shade of the trees, and transformed into a lively and agile female figure.
It’s Chi Jiuyu!
"Shit! The locals already noticed I broke in. Is that formation so advanced?!"
Because it was such a coincidence, she mistakenly thought that the search team was coming to arrest her.
"You still have to be careful."
After muttering something, she walked straight into the depths of the forest.
About ten minutes passed.
A huge moss-covered rock on the side of the road suddenly 'cracked'.
To be precise, he stretched his body and turned from a 'huge rock' into a tall and sturdy man.
"Whoo~"
The sturdy man let out a sigh of relief and looked as if he was in a state of panic.
Fucked!
What kind of luck is this? I can meet this idiot Chi Jiuyu in such a remote place!
***'s Blood Vajra Temple returns to the void!
I***!
Wait until my system is completely liberated, and then see if I can deal with you!
After launching a wave of genealogical attacks on the entire Blood Vajra Temple, from Return to Void to Qi Training, the sturdy man sat down by the roadside.
He took out a pill from the storage ring, swallowed it, and continued to regulate his breathing.
As a physical cultivator, he relies on his invincible physique that has been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations, so he has a lot of initial supplies.
Although a large teleportation talisman was used, there are still a lot of pills left, and it won’t take long to recover.
"Tsk tsk! You hid really well! Did you learn it from those people from the Supreme Dao Sect?"
The strong man's body trembled! (End of this chapter)
