"Protect me from dying? Just you?"

Chen Luo immediately understood the other party's idea. This guy wanted to capture him and sell him for money. A slave who was proficient in formations, poisons, and curses would definitely be sold for more than the mission reward.

"You don't want to? This is your only chance to survive."

Shang Xuanyi frowned slightly.

He felt that he had given the other party enough face. These natives who ascended from the lower realms did not understand what true incarnation was, and thought that the upper realm was the small place where they lived before. He had seen too many people like this, not only the ascenders from the lower realms, but also the country folks from the marginal areas would have similar illusions.

The upper bound and the upper limit are also different.

In the eyes of Daoist disciples like Shang Xuanyi, the floating islands on the border were just wild areas, with nothing to do except for the development of some spiritual fields. The immortal cultivators living there were no different from the natives of the lower world.

The real "refining of the spirit" is inheritance and the fundamental map.

Only disciples of the Dao Sect who have inherited the tradition would understand.

"I heard that refining the spirit requires a fundamental diagram. What is the fundamental diagram of your Star Sect?" Chen Luo suddenly asked while floating in the air, with the brown muddy water surging under his feet. Shang Xuanyi stood opposite him, with Shi Shang and Zhu Yan standing on his left and right.

As time went by, the toxins and curses on the two began to dissipate, and their complexions slowly recovered.

"You still know the basic map? It's really a bit of a fortuitous encounter."

Shang Xuan nodded, as if in appreciation.

"We have six fundamental diagrams in the Star Sect. They are Samadhi, Infinity, Manifestation, Ascension, Corpse Transmigration, and Primordial Spirit."

The six fundamental diagrams are the foundation of the Star Gate.

This kind of thing is no secret in the Ziqing Star Region. Anyone who knows a little about the Star Gate knows that this is the foundation of the Dao Sect and also the capital for their external publicity.

"Each of the six fundamental diagrams corresponds to the supreme immortal path. If you comprehend any of them, you will gain supreme fortune. If you are willing to be my servant, when I attain enlightenment and return to the void, I can take you to see one of the fundamental diagrams."

"One?"

A smile suddenly appeared on Chen Luo's face.

"That's not enough!"

Buzz!

A layer of pale white light lit up, and Shang Xuanyi, who was speaking, suddenly felt something was wrong. The same thing happened to Shi Shang and Zhu Yan, who had just recovered. In their astonished eyes, the flood disaster rushing under their feet suddenly stopped, and the water surface turned into a layer of soil.

A hazy shadow emerged from Chen Luo's body.

The gray-white bone pattern lit up, and the fierce aura spread out in a ball shape. The green robe rustled, and the shadow behind him transformed into a wild ancient beast, with scarlet eyes looking at the three of them. Two strange poisonous insects flew out, one on the left and one on the right.

'The physical form is immortal!'

He took a step forward, and the figure in the eyes of the three people disappeared instantly.

Before they could react to what was happening, they saw a gray soul flag appear in the mud that had been covered by the flood. A hideous and distorted old face passed through his chest, and the distorted face just met Shang Xuanyi's astonished eyes.

"hey-hey."

boom!!!

Before the laughter died down, the translucent evil spirit exploded in Shang Xuanyi's chest. The terrifying force rushed into Shang Xuanyi's blood and qi, and if it weren't for the incarnation of the true body, it would have been broken into two pieces. The same was true for Shi Shang and Zhu Yan on the other side. They were also attacked by the evil spirit. The one who took care of Shi Shang was the leader of the Zhongmo Sect, and the evil spirit who took care of Zhu Yan was actually Lu Tianhe, who was killed by Chen Luo not long ago.

After Senior Lu entered the Soul Banner, he showed extreme ferocity. Many senior predecessors were suppressed by him. Only Master Lin Feng and the leader of the Demon Clan could suppress him.

"Soul Cultivator?!"

Zhu Yan was shocked and angry. She didn't expect that this person was actually a notorious soul cultivator.

Bang!

As soon as Zhu Yan finished speaking, she felt a flash before her eyes. Shi Shang, who was standing beside him a second ago, was suddenly hit in the face by a chessboard and flew backwards. The spreading murderous aura hit her face like a heat wave.

Changed into another variant?

wrong!

What am I afraid of?

"Just a native!!"

Zhu Yan reacted and was furious. She had never thought that a simple Class B mission could force her to this point. She grabbed the long flute and put it to her lips. Circles of sound waves spread along the long flute. The shrill sound waves were extremely piercing. The circle of soil that had just been changed by Chen Luoyi under her feet exploded and was replaced by another kind of power. The power that affected the soul was instantly stimulated to the extreme.

"Yellow Springs Ferry!!"

This is Zhu Yan's strongest killer move, and also her "God". Unlike Shang Xuanyi's "Flood", Zhu Yan's "God"'s greatest ability is the influence of the soul. When practiced to the extreme, it can open the gate of the underworld and lead people into the underworld.

She now only wants to kill Chen Luo.

A native who climbed up from the lower world, a junior whose cultivation years were not even a fraction of hers, actually made her feel fear. This was a great shame and humiliation.

This shame must be erased!

Who isn’t a genius when they are young?

The sound waves continued to condense and finally turned into two skeletons in black clothes. Arms stretched out from the sound waves and grabbed Chen Luo. That was the breath of the underworld, and these two skeletons were ghosts from the underworld.

“Die!”

The ground exploded layer by layer, Zhu Yan's black hair flew backwards, and the violent breath blew away everything around. The flower-backed turtle and Shan Tao, who had sunk to the bottom of the water and were buried by the Yigai mud, were also blown out and rolled away like rags.

boom!

Chen Luo, who was injured when he was slapped away, turned around, blood still dripping from the chessboard in his hand. Looking at Zhu Yan who was rushing over, he swung his right arm and slapped Zhu Yan at a faster speed. Together with the two skeleton arms and Zhu Yan's long flute, the two forces collided fiercely.

The formation and the ground soil exploded in a spherical shape, creating a huge vacuum zone. The aftermath caused several cracks in the surrounding land, extending all the way to the distant mountains. With a "crack" sound, a mountaintop lost its support and collapsed into pieces.

The aftermath dissipated.

The original formation area completely disappeared, leaving behind a hemispherical deep pit, with a large amount of heat energy emerging from the ground.

In front of the mountain, there was a person clinging to the rock wall. Half of his head was deformed, and his original appearance could not be seen. A sword was stuck on the side. In front of the right was a strangely shaped piece of meat. From the scattered pieces of clothing, it could be seen that this piece of meat was Zhu Yan, the true disciple of the Qunxing Sect who had fought desperately with Chen Luo not long ago.

Not far away, there was a half-broken flute stuck at an angle. The spirituality on it had completely dissipated and it had turned into scrap metal.

"Where is your 'God'? Why can't I see him?"

Chen Luo looked at the chessboard in his hand with some confusion, and found a dent on it. It was probably left when Zhu Yan's long flute was broken. As for the injury, the guy was killed by him with the chessboard in one encounter, and he didn't even have time to fight back.

"Is this a Class B mission?"

The only remaining Shang Xuanyi came to his senses at this moment. His legs were shaking a little. Looking at the two dead people in front of him, he vaguely felt that the three of them seemed to have guessed wrong.

The guy in front of him didn't use formation to kill Lu Tianhe at all.

I'm afraid even the old ancestor of the sect has miscalculated this person's strength. He is definitely not a native who ascended from the lower world. He is most likely a "reincarnation" of another sect. However, he is a little confused about the other party's realm. He is obviously only in the early stage of transformation. Why can he condense into a "god"? The previous phantom of the ferocious beast is the other party's god.

You can't go wrong with this.

Without comprehending the divine transformation of God, it is impossible to use this kind of power. The familiar feeling as if a ferocious beast has revived can only be provided by the fundamental map.

"Everyone has been deceived. I must return to the sect and report the news to the ancestor."

Shang Xuanyi quietly took a step back and began to observe the escape route.

"It's too much force, it's a waste."

Looking at the pool of broken meat under his feet, Chen Luo withdrew his hand with regret. He was beaten like this, and his brain was no longer able to be picked up. There was nothing he could do about it. It was the first time he faced the true teachings of Dao Zong, so he had to be cautious.

When these three people came, they were full of momentum. Each of them held a spiritual weapon in his hand and possessed magical powers that he had never seen before. They broke his formation in a few seconds, causing him to misjudge the opponent's ability for a moment.

When he was injured during the sneak attack, he asked the soul-parasitic insect to help control it. Now it seems like a complete waste.

These so-called earth-transformed gods don’t seem to be that powerful.

After collecting Zhu Yan's belongings, he went over to collect Shi Shang's spiritual sword and picked up a half-damaged brain. Then he turned his attention to Shang Xuanyi.

"Fellow Daoist, I think there may be some misunderstanding here."

Shang Xuanyi's body froze as he reached the edge. He dared not move anymore and could only start using words to divert attention, to see if he could save his life.

He doesn't want to die.

After going through countless hardships, he finally reached his current state. As long as he accumulated enough merits, he could return to the sect to exchange for the opportunity to comprehend the fundamental diagram and peek into the illusory path of returning to the void.

"With your talent, you can definitely join our group of stars."

Danger!!

Shang Xuanyi, who was speaking, felt his eyes blur and the person in front of him disappeared again. Almost instinctively, he summoned his spiritual weapon and turned it into a three-meter-long giant shield to block in front of him.

Before the brief sense of security could take shape, the scene before my eyes became blurry.

The huge monster's phantom looked down, and its scarlet eyes met his. In the dimness, he seemed to see the ancestor waving at him.

The Heart Demon Technique!

BANG!!

Five fingers bypassed the huge shield in front of him and grabbed Shang Xuanyi's head from top to bottom, causing his skull to cave in and his brain to burst. The skull at his neck made a sound like a bamboo breaking, and his entire head flew into the air, his vision dimming.

The Nascent Soul flashed and left the body.

Unlike Shi Shang and Zhu Yan, Shang Xuanyi did not die immediately. At the critical moment, he escaped from his Nascent Soul state, blood emerged from his body, and he performed the Blood Escape Technique.

"I killed the true disciple of the Star Sect, this is my revenge."

Crack!

The beast opened its mouth and bit down, and the words that Shang Xuanyi's Nascent Soul had not yet finished saying came to an abrupt end. (End of this chapter)
