Chapter 295: Chapter 294: A Grudge Has Been Formed (Please Subscribe) *Why would someone from the Grand Daoist Sect take action against an Immortal Cultivator at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation?* *And among those who acted, why was there an Immortal Master with considerable strength in the Enlightenment Realm?* "Do you know who exactly took action?" Daoist Flying Knife, Lu Youpeng, also asked. Bai Ziyue swept his gaze across everyone’s faces, guessing that they probably hadn’t recognized the true identity of the attacker. With a quick turn of thought, he also realized that Zhou Qing must have used a disguise. He immediately said, "I do not know who the attacker was. As for the reason they acted, perhaps it was because of a secret skill I obtained by chance early on." With the strength of an Immortal Cultivator at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, even when combined with an early-stage Innate Martial Arts Realm, being able to last for thirty to forty seconds against an Enlightenment Realm Peak Level Immortal Master was indeed astonishing. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he naturally needed to conceal some things. "A secret skill? What kind of secret skill?" Ma Chengfu asked urgently. "Immortal Martial Hand Seal!" Bai Ziyue feigned hesitation and spoke in a serious tone. "Immortal Martial Hand Seal? If it’s this secret skill, it’s understandable why the Grand Daoist Sect would go to great lengths," Lu Youpeng said with surprise and doubt, then looked at the still somewhat puzzled Ma Chengfu and others, explaining, "You may not know, but the predecessor of the Grand Daoist Sect was actually the Immortal Martial Sect, which was annihilated three hundred years ago. The Immortal Martial Sect had three major secret skills: Immortal Martial Dao Skill, Immortal Martial Glowing Light, and Immortal Martial Hand Seal. Early on, the ancestor of the Grand Daoist Sect had limited strength and missed some of the heritage, leaving only the Immortal Martial Dao Skill and Immortal Martial Glowing Light. The strongest attack secret skill, Immortal Martial Hand Seal, was lost. To complete their secret skills, the Grand Daoist Sect would definitely act desperately." Only then did everyone realize, including Bai Ziyue, why Zhou Qing had claimed earlier that the Immortal Martial Hand Seal was the heritage of their sect, and the Circulation Inference Mirror was their sect treasure. However, three hundred years had passed, and the ancestor of the Grand Daoist Sect had already died. This really was his own lucky gain, so he naturally wouldn’t let go easily. Not to mention, the other side’s intention was not righteous from the start; they intended to coerce and assassinate him. In such a case, it was even more impossible for Bai Ziyue to return it. Moreover... Bai Ziyue’s eyes turned cold, revealing a hint of chill. The enmity was already formed. There would always be a time for reckoning. "However, even with such a reason, it is still a fact that an Enlightenment Realm Immortal Master from the Grand Daoist Sect attacked someone from our Sunrise Daoist Sect. This matter should not be let go just like that. I will inform the Sect Leader and seek justice for Alchemist Bai. It just so happens that we have some disputes with them at Leigong Mountain, and we might as well resolve them altogether." Lu Youpeng snorted coldly and said. "Actually, more than that, I’m curious about how Alchemist Bai managed to survive against a mid-late stage Enlightenment Realm master," At this moment, Ma Chengfu squinted his eyes, staring at Bai Ziyue. "Fellow Daoist Ma, isn’t it a bit inappropriate to say that? Everyone has their own opportunities and fates. Why are you asking so clearly, what do you intend? Or are you saying that it’s normal for Alchemist Bai to be dead but abnormal for him to be alive?" Zhu Shuizhen glanced at Ma Chengfu and asked coldly. Because of Zhao Yue’er, she naturally showed some favor toward Bai Ziyue. "I rather think that what Alchemist Bai did was not too difficult. As is well-known, the Grand Daoist Sect is most skilled in the Defense Technique. With the combination of Immortal Martial Dao Skill, Immortal Martial True Body, and Immortal Martial Glowing Light, they are as solid as a turtle shell. Even stronger beings a level above would find it hard to break through easily, comparable to a Defensive Divine Technique. But corresponding to that, their attack techniques are very lacking, and they rely more on Dharma Treasures. Don’t forget, Alchemist Bai is also a Martial Artist at the Innate Realm." Lu Youpeng smiled and said. "I was just asking casually. After all, this concerns the Grand Daoist Sect, we can’t just rely on one side of the story..." Ma Chengfu explained with doubt. "To see if he was from the Grand Daoist Sect, Elder Ma just needs to go over and look at the deceased. If I remember correctly, he should be Gong Fei, a disciple of the Sect Leader of the Grand Daoist Sect," Bai Ziyue frowned at Ma Chengfu but then turned to Lu Youpeng and Zhu Shuizhen, saying, "Thank you both for speaking up for me. Otherwise, I might be accused of inciting relations between the two sects while being assassinated." "Don’t worry, this matter has become clear enough, and there’s no way you’ll be unjustly accused. Moreover, I see you are heavily injured, so I’ll bring you back to the Mountain Gate to recuperate for a while," Zhu Shuizhen knew that Ma Chengfu was still resentful over the earlier issue with Zhao Yue’er. And while Bai Ziyue and her disciple Zhao Yue’er were not siblings, she knew Zhao Yue’er was very attached to him, so she was inclined to help. Finding someone with a Celestial Spirit Root and special Physique as a disciple was not easy. There were quite a few people in the Sunrise Daoist Sect who envied her for this. "Thank you, Elder Zhu," Bai Ziyue, of course, wouldn’t refuse. "Alright, let’s disperse for now. Alchemist Bai, go back and recover from your injuries. If we have any more questions, we will come to you for clarification." Lu Youpeng also spoke up, "It should be that way." ... "It’s been three days, and my injuries have finally healed." In the cave dwelling, Bai Ziyue slowly opened his eyes. After several days of quiet cultivation, the damaged meridians within his body and the depleted essence, qi, and spirit were finally fully repaired, allowing him to return to his peak condition. "This time, it truly was a close call. If my soul energy hadn’t been sufficiently abundant, and if I hadn’t just mastered the Initial Level of the Treasure-Setting Divine Light, smoothly advancing it to Perfection, who knows what the result would have been. The momentum of a peak of Enlightenment Realm expert is indeed incredibly formidable. And that was only because the Grand Daoist Sect isn’t known for their attack techniques. The Grand Daoist Sect, Zhou Qing... I will remember this grudge." *Every time he recalled that previous battle, a nameless fury would rise within Bai Ziyue’s heart, his eyes filled with an icy chill.* *Even when he was weaker, facing unknown evil cultivators, he had never felt so powerless.* "At this time, I was supposed to continue in secluded cultivation, smoothly breaking through to the Enlightenment Realm. However, when I showcased my skills as a Second-grade High-tier Alchemist before, it already drew much attention. Adding on top of that my escape from the Enlightenment Realm Immortal Master of the Grand Daoist Sect, the number of prying eyes has noticeably increased. If it were to be revealed that I broke through to the Enlightenment Realm on my own strength..." Bai Ziyue frowned. Over the past three days, the Sunrise Daoist Sect also conducted some investigations. According to Bai Ziyue’s account, combined with descriptions from several witnesses, the Sunrise Daoist Sect ’ascertained’ that it was the Late-stage Enlightenment Realm Immortal Master from the Grand Daoist Sect, Gu Boseng, who made the attack on Bai Ziyue. Gu Boseng was also Xu Zhixuan’s mentor. Even though Bai Ziyue’s strength wasn’t weak, being an Immortal Martial Dual Cultivator with his Immortal Techniques at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement Stage, and his Martial Arts Dao reaching the early-stage Innate Realm, it was absolutely not an easy task to withstand an assault from a Late-stage Enlightenment Realm Immortal Master. Especially given the rumored existence of the Immortal Martial Hand Seal on Bai Ziyue, some would inevitably speculate that he possessed certain treasures, which would breed greed, surveillance, and even covert manipulation. Bai Ziyue never believed that there were no malicious individuals within the major Immortal Technique Sect, the Sunrise Daoist Sect, who would kill for treasures. In fact, he had heard of many instances where people were robbed of their opportunities and treasures. "Forget it. Priority lies in breakthrough. The world revolves around strength; as long as I am powerful, even those with schemes must hold back. Breakthrough, it should be now." *Bai Ziyue had a strong desire to break through. Although he had some concerns, with his injuries healed and his condition excellent, he couldn’t bring himself to worry about them anymore.* Thus, with a solemn expression, he prepared to fully immerse himself in seclusion for a breakthrough. Buzz~! Just at that moment, the warning array suddenly emitted a vibration. "What’s going on?" *Startled, Bai Ziyue opened his eyes wide.* Quickly, he sensed that outside the cave, Gao Ming and Fu Yongyu had triggered the warning array, leading him to reveal a hint of helplessness. After some thought, he finally got up and walked toward the outside of the cave. As he reached a cultivation secret chamber, faintly hearing low, oppressive growls from within, he glanced inside. Compared to its previous evolution speed, this time, the Little Black Dog was clearly slower in its evolution from a top-level Exotic Beast to a Demon. Now, three days had passed, and it still hadn’t fully transformed into a Demon. However, by this time, it was clear that it had already completed the initial transformation stage. Although it remained motionless, its aura was much stronger than before. It seemed that it wouldn’t take long before it would complete the transformation and evolve a Demon Core, becoming a Dog Demon. Without paying much more attention, Bai Ziyue soon activated the array and immediately saw Gao Ming and Fu Yongyu standing at the entrance of the cave, their faces full of apprehension. "What’s the matter?" Bai Ziyue asked. "Immortal Bai, it’s terrible. The Spirit Rice in the spirit field... almost all has withered. Master Fu and I exhausted our means, but couldn’t resolve it. If we weren’t at our wit’s end, we would never dare disturb you." Gao Ming said in a panicked tone. "Not only the Spirit Rice in the spirit field, but the three newly developed spirit fields have also degraded to a point where they look no different from regular fields in their barrenness..." Fu Yongyu said grimly. He knew how much Bai Ziyue valued those three spirit fields, and with the current fiasco, he was naturally extremely anxious. "Oh? Let me take a look first." Bai Ziyue calmly replied, quickly turning his gaze toward the direction of the spirit field. Indeed, the Crescent Rice planted in the three acres of spirit field had withered in large patches as if all vitality had been drained. Even the seedlings of Crescent Rice that were barely surviving appeared very frail, about to perish at any moment. Looking further at the three newly developed spirit fields, they seemed almost like a spiritual qi desert, utterly devoid of spiritual qi and life force.
