Chapter 373: Updated: Chapter 372 Enemies Meet “Such things cannot be envied. Combat power? What combat power do they need? When it truly comes to battle, isn’t it us cultivators of ordinary backgrounds who fight? They only need to calmly stay in the rear and continue with their cultivation, and that is enough.” Tang Xianren’s face was full of mockery as well. “Reaching the Enlightenment Realm at seventy or eighty years old, what right do they have to laugh at Brother Bai? They are only relying on being a few years older with a higher realm. In terms of combat power, at the same age level and same realm level, you might not even match half of Brother Bai.” Bai Ziyue hadn’t spoken yet when Zhao Yue’er became angry. Her little face turned red with rage as she pouted and said. “Yue’er, stop talking!” Zhu Shuizhen hurriedly reprimanded, then apologized to Zhong Yun and the others with an apologetic expression, “Children don’t understand, I apologize on her behalf.” “We can’t be bothered to quarrel with a little girl.” Zhong Yun’s face darkened a bit, but eventually, he couldn’t act out. He turned his gaze to Bai Ziyue and said, “However, Immortal Master Bai, though the words we say as seniors may not be pleasant, they are ultimately for your own good. I hope you will take them to heart.” “Honest words are hard to hear but beneficial, Immortal Master Bai, think thrice.” Guu Lianyue followed and said. “When you truly face an enemy, you will understand whether our words are correct.” Tang Xianren also snorted coldly. “Thank you, seniors, for the advice.” Bai Ziyue nodded slightly, then looked towards Zhao Yue’er. Seeing a trace of grievance on her face, he smiled faintly, flipped his hand, and a jade box appeared in his palm, saying, “Yue’er, come here and have some spirit fruit. This is the Coiling Dragon Fruit I came across recently, tastes good, and can give you a bit more strength.” “Thank you, Brother Bai!” Zhao Yue’er’s little face immediately showed excitement, and she happily ran to Bai Ziyue’s side to receive the jade box. “Hmph!” “Stubborn and obstinate!” In an instant, the originally slightly pleased faces of the three Elders turned icy cold. Rewarding Zhao Yue’er, who contradicted them in front of them, what was the meaning of this? Did he pretend not to hear our previous words? Were his words of thanks mere perfunctory gestures? They were truly somewhat angered. “It’s getting late, let’s set off!” Zhu Shuizhen, seeing this, quickly interjected to prevent further conflict, and with a delicate shout, pointed forward. The Drunken Moon Red Lotus Disc suddenly transformed into a streak of red light, shooting quickly towards the distance. Bai Ziyue naturally did not intend to escalate the conflict. In any case, they were also there to escort Zhao Yue’er to the Desolate Ancient City. Although they flaunted their seniority and meddled under the guise of doing him good... But they were not bad people or malicious. So, he did not say much more and chose a lotus base to sit down. Even without Zhong Yun and the others speaking, he himself found it hard to endure this condition of scattered Divine Sense and insufficient power control. So quickly, he concentrated his Divine Sense, visualized an image of himself in his mind, starting with the outline, then the eyes, nose, mouth, limbs, skin, muscles, tendons, acupoints, and bones... Bit by bit, from an abstract notion to concreteness. What he was practicing was indeed the “Refining God Technique, Super Divine Visualization Skill! Using himself as the model for visualization, refining bit by bit to control his Divine Sense. Because of the lack of control over Divine Sense, what he visualized often seemed abstract. Skin and flesh were even more difficult to maintain, leading to collapse and disintegration. But Bai Ziyue was not discouraged, acting as if tireless, visualizing again and again. Gradually, the image he visualized began to take on some changes, becoming more vivid, with the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and skin gaining a certain spiritual aura. Correspondingly, his previously scattered Divine Sense also began to condense gradually, and his control grew stronger. Even the progress of the Super Divine Visualization Skill’s practice was greatly increased. Uninitiated 10%, Uninitiated 20%, Uninitiated 30%... Soon, he practiced to 45% of completion. ... “The Seven Great Immortal Technique Sects, they’ve been prosperous for too long. Almost every generation has Divine Realm powerhouses emerging. To bring about their decline, we must kill their genius disciples, make them lose one of the twelve slots, so they can’t receive the Divine Pill.” “This time, the Sunrise Daoist Sect has three genius disciples competing for one of those slots. The sect leader’s true disciple Duan Xingchen, the grandnephew of Supreme Elder Qin Haohan, Qin Feiyu, and Zhu Shuizhen’s disciple, Zhao Yue’er.” “Among them, though Duan Xingchen and Qin Feiyu are extraordinarily gifted, they won’t be viewed differently by the Celestial Spirit Sect and will need to fight brutally for a chance at a slot. Moreover, others will inevitably target them for assassination. However, Zhao Yue’er has transcendent talent, rare across the entire cultivation realm. Once reaching the Desolate Ancient City, she wouldn’t need to compete, as she would naturally occupy one of the slots and receive the Divine Pill.” Initially, for such a genius, the Sunrise Daoist Sect would definitely send strong escorts to protect her along the way, giving us no chance to kill her. But, even a Major Immortal Technique Sect like the Sunrise Daoist Sect is not without internal divisions. Zhu Shuizhen harbors greed, wanting to monopolize the Divine Pill destined for Zhao Yue’er, unwilling to offer it to several of Sunrise Daoist Sect’s Peak of Enlightenment Realm powerhouses. Thus, the Sect Leader’s Elders and other Peak of the Enlightenment Realm Immortal Masters decided against assisting with escorting Zhao Yue’er to the Desolate Ancient City. “And this is our chance!” In a desolate mountain, several powerful cultivators were scattered around. “According to the information we received, there are only four Enlightenment Realm Immortal Masters escorting Zhao Yue’er this time, namely Zhu Shuizhen, Zhong Yun, and Tang Xianren at the late-stage Enlightenment Realm. As for Guu Lianyue, she was at the mid-stage level and relatively weaker.” A cultivator dressed in a red robe licked his lips and said. “Zhong Yun? I didn’t expect that old guy wasn’t dead yet.” At that moment, a hideous-looking cultivator’s eyes flashed with indescribable coldness. “Haven’t seen him for decades, kind of miss him.” Another cultivator who looked quite similar to him chuckled and said. “When enemies meet!” “It’s always so fiery!” The two laughed simultaneously, their ugly appearance and sinister smiles sending chills down one’s spine. The two were precisely the Cyan Rattan Mountain Ghosts. At this moment, light flickered in the bosom of the leader. Seeing everyone’s gaze directed towards him, a trace of ferocity flashed across his face, “They’re here.” “Start preparing!” ... “This should belong to the Nine Rings Mountain area, not far from Shuangjun City, and over there is the Snow Mountain Territory. Yue’er, although you will inevitably step into a broader world in the future, following the proper path, and it’s not impossible to achieve Golden Core or become a Primordial Spirit powerhouse, I still hope you don’t forget your master, and don’t forget this corner of the world that’s isolated from the outside world. In the future, if possible, and if you have the strength, I believe not only me, but even your brother and everyone you care about here would undoubtedly wish you could open the passage between the outside world and here, so we won’t be forced to wait hopelessly for the Celestial Spirit Sect’s charity every thirty years.” Zhu Shuizhen, accompanied by Zhao Yue’er, surveyed the surrounding scene and spoke earnestly. The world was too large, yet this corner was too small. *Small enough to give birth to Divine Realm powerhouses but not to step into higher levels.* *It’s not only a problem of lacking cultivation techniques but also because the resources here are insufficient to allow cultivators to reach higher realms.* “Master, I will!” Though Zhao Yue’er was somewhat confused, she still said earnestly. Zheng! Zheng! Zheng! Just at that moment, heaven and earth roared, and the sound of sword light slicing through the air came directly. “Careful! Enemy attack!” Zhu Shuizhen shouted sharply, immediately activating the defense light of the Drunken Moon Red Lotus Disc to the utmost. Zhong Yun, Guu Lianyue, Tang Xianren, and others hurriedly leaped from the lotus disc, with spiritual light flickering as they swiftly made their moves. “Great Annihilation Spirit Light Sword!” A massive sword light, like a silver moon stream, fiercely slashed down. Boom! The defense light of the Drunken Moon Red Lotus Disc shattered almost instantly. Subsequently, several sword lights fell fiercely upon the Drunken Moon Red Lotus Disc, causing the spiritual light of this artifact to rapidly dim, seemingly on the verge of breaking. “Immortal Master Bai, protect Yue’er!” Zhu Shuizhen’s face darkened as she flicked out a bell. Buzz! The bell expanded rapidly in the wind. Dingling! A sound that confused the divine soul quickly emanated. “Brother Bai!” Zhao Yue’er looked at Bai Ziyue with a timid expression. Bai Ziyue, naturally woken before the attack arrived, quickly shielded Zhao Yue’er at his side, and the Positive and Negative Five Elements Shield Skill was immediately deployed. Then came the spiritual gang defense of the Golden Thread Spiritual Light Bead. The role of the top-grade Spiritual Artifact, Golden Thread Spirit Gang Bead, in his hands was immense, not only handy but also very strong. Although the top-grade Spiritual Artifact Black Tortoise Shield had long been burned and damaged by Circulation White Fire, this Golden Thread Spirit Gang Bead was still intact, with spiritual light rampant. The Golden Thread Spirit Gang Bead and Positive and Negative Five Elements Shield Skill were simultaneously deployed, completely protecting Zhao Yue’er, and Bai Ziyue then cast his gaze on the battlefield. *Barbarian Country Cultivators, Soul Map Vajra, Daoist Mountain Goat, Yin Mountain Old Woman, and... Teng Qingshan Ghosts... five Enlightenment Realm Immortal Masters, all at the late-stage Enlightenment Realm level...”* Zhu Shuizhen’s heart sank, her face turning extremely grim. She didn’t expect that after just a day of traveling, they would encounter such a powerful ambush. “Isn’t that Zhong Yun from the old way? Now that I think about it, it’s been forty years since we last met.” “I really missed him.” The Cyan Rattan Mountain Ghosts fixated their eyes on Zhong Yun, their gaze appearing extremely eerie.
