With the two Nascent Soul ancestors in front of them, no cultivator would care about the killing of Yang Bao, a Jindan cultivator, even though Yang Bao was a Jindan elder of the Qianhuan Sect.
Outside the Linghe Sect, Patriarch Lu and Lang Xiong stood in the void.
The Linghe Sect's formation was activated, but this formation could not block the perception of Patriarch Lu and Lang Xiong. They discovered that the strongest person in the Linghe Sect was only a cultivator in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Period, and there was not a single Jindan cultivator.
Although the Linghe Sect is a medium-sized sect, it should not be like this. It only means that the Jindan cultivators who were killed before were all their Jindan cultivators.
Before Patriarch Lu could take a closer look, Lang Xiong slapped him with his palm.
This palm used part of the power of the Dharmakāya, and a giant palm fell from the air towards the mountain gate of Linghe Sect.
The formation was broken in an instant, and the dozen or so mountains where the mountain gate was located were all shrouded in the giant palm. When the giant palm was still falling, all the cultivators in the entire mountain gate were shocked to death by the terrifying power.
Not to mention them, even a Jindan cultivator would not be able to survive under such power.
With a loud bang, dozens of mountain peaks were all smashed to pieces, and the caves in the mountain gate were also destroyed no matter what means were used to reinforce and defend them.
The giant palm did not stop and continued to press down, and the mountain was flattened.
The reason why Lang Xiong took action before Ancestor Lu was to find the trace of the fourth-grade corpse lotus or the corpse of the Sky-Splitting Beast.
Of course, he also understood that judging from the situation of Linghe Sect, it was unlikely that any cultivator would bring back such treasures, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not let it go.
The giant palm of Dharma that he displayed seemed to be destroying, but in fact, it carried his perception. As long as there was the slightest breath of a fourth-grade corpse lotus or the corpse of a Sky-Splitting Beast, the giant palm would stop destroying and find the location of the treasure.
The giant palm of the Dharmadhatu did not stop, which meant that Lang Xiong did not discover anything.
Unwilling to give up, he continued to exert force with his giant palm. At this time, the gate of Linghe Sect had been pressed into the ground by the giant palm, forming a huge palm-shaped pit.
Patriarch Lu frowned slightly but said nothing.
The destruction by Lang Xiong was quite thorough. This spiritual place suitable for cultivators to practice was destroyed by Lang Xiong's palm. Not only the mountain was destroyed, but even the spiritual veins and vitality were extinct.
Finally, Lang Xiong stopped his giant palm. After retracting his giant palm, the Linghe Sect no longer existed, and a terrifying aura remained in the area.
For the next thousand miles, or even longer, there will be no life here.
Even the most tenacious weeds could not survive in the areas attacked by the Yuanying Patriarch.
"Old Lu, let's go to Wuya Sect!" Lang Xiong was very enthusiastic and said to Old Ancestor Lu immediately after destroying Linghe Sect.
"Let's go!" Patriarch Lu nodded.
The Wuya Sect suffered the same fate afterwards. The two medium-sized sects were destroyed by the Nascent Soul ancestors. This incident caused a lot of disturbance in the Northern Shu Continent.
This kind of thing hasn't happened for many years, and no one has dared to challenge the forces of the major sects for thousands of years.
The Linghe Sect and the Wuya Sect once again demonstrated to the immortal cultivation world the consequences of offending a large sect.
In other words, it was the Linghe Sect and the Wuya Sect that were unlucky. If it were under normal circumstances, if a large number of Jindan cultivators had provoked the Senluo Sect, the Jindan elders of the Senluo Sect would have taken action to deal with the matter.
Senluo Sect would definitely not wake up the Nascent Soul Patriarch who was in seclusion for this matter. Although it would need to negotiate with the three major righteous sects because the Linghe Sect and Wuya Sect's mountain gates were in the sphere of influence of the righteous path, the situation was not serious enough to require the Nascent Soul Patriarch to take action.
Who told Linghe Sect and Wuya Sect to cause trouble when Patriarch Lu was guarding the mountain gate because of the invasion by foreign forces?
In addition, Lang Xiong's visit prompted the Yuanying Patriarch to personally take action to destroy the Linghe Sect and the Wuya Sect.
Some forces that seemed to have forgotten the majesty of the big sects once again witnessed the horror of the big sects, and they put away all their little thoughts.
This is also what the six major sects are willing to see. The six major sects cannot be provoked. This is their common interest.
These things had little to do with Li Shiming and Li Yuanba, as they both began to practice hard.
Another five years passed, and nothing major happened in the world of immortal cultivation during these five years.
The only thing that affected Li Yuanba was that the sect's Jindan elders tried every means to seize the garrison mission of Jieshan Pass and Jieshan City.
This made Jiang Pu extremely upset. He didn't know how many favors he had to use and how many connections he had to make before they were able to retain the position guarding Jindan.
On Li Yuanba's side, he has Patriarch Lu. As long as the sect's top leaders don't go crazy, they will not touch Li Yuanba's position.
The sect's top leaders were extremely satisfied that Li Yuanba could stay in Jieshan City.
Li Yuanba had no interest in power, otherwise, with the importance that Patriarch Lu attached to him, he could return to the sect at any time, join the sect's upper echelons, and seize the sect's power.
The important power positions in the sect were all full, and if he wanted to intervene, he would kick one of them out.
Therefore, the sect’s top leaders would not move Li Yuanba’s position. They even begged Li Yuanba to stay in Jieshan City.
During the five years, a Jindan elder came to the righteous checkpoint, and this time he was no longer a Jindan elder from one of the three major righteous sects.
This Jindan elder was also a sensible man. As soon as he arrived, he expressed his obedience to Ying Hou.
The interrupted communication channels with the alchemy master Li Shiming were restored, and the elders stationed in the Golden Elixir Guard were contentedly enjoying the special benefits.
Five years may seem like a long time, but it is not a very long time for a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.
During the five years of cultivation, Li Yuanba had been taking the maximum amount of third-grade advanced elixirs of the middle stage of the Golden Core. However, the spiritual power in the Golden Core in his body had increased very limitedly compared to five years ago. He was still in the middle stage of the middle stage of the Golden Core and was still a long way from the late stage of the Golden Core.
In five years, the original body Li Shiming on the other side has only reached one-third of the middle stage of the Golden Core. Although the original body Li Shiming has the bonus of Nascent Soul level spiritual veins, the progress of five years of cultivation is still slow.
Of course, if their cultivation speed is compared with other Jindan cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation, it is increasing like a rocket.
Not to mention that most of the Jindan cultivators spend a lot of time trying to obtain third-grade elixirs, and actually have very little time to take third-grade elixirs and practice.
That is why it takes hundreds of years for a Jindan cultivator to go from the early to the middle stage of the Jindan. Resources are always the biggest problem in cultivation.
Li Yuanba sat cross-legged in the training room, with Wanjian Peak floating in front of him.
In five years, his cultivation has not improved much, but his actual combat power has greatly improved.
Due to the energy absorbed from the balance of the corpse refining state, his realm was greatly improved in a short period of time, but it also made his realm unstable.
During the five years, he spent a lot of time practicing the "Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky Art" to improve his sword intent and stabilize his own realm.
I don’t know if it’s because his body training has reached the level of a great elder, but the speed at which he cultivates sword intent has become much faster.
Now his sword intent has reached the middle stage of the Golden Core Sword Intention described in the 'Sword Intention Soaring to the Sky', which is consistent with the progress of his realm, which has greatly improved his overall strength.
The long-term use of Wanjianfeng's magic weapon to practice the "Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky" has also strengthened the connection between the Wanjianfeng magic weapon and him a lot. He even has a feeling that his connection with the Wanjianfeng magic weapon is almost close to that of Xing Yijian.
This surprised him greatly, because Xingyi Sword was his natal magic weapon.
But it is not surprising. As a sword cultivator, sword intent is his strongest weapon. After exchanging sword intent with Wanjian Peak for a long time, the sword intent in Wanjian Peak is more and more in tune with his sword intent. This relationship on the sword intent level is almost equivalent to his innate magic weapon.
While he was practicing, his identity jade disc sent a message.
Only a very few people have the authority to receive prompt messages while he is practicing.
He slowly withdrew the sword intent that had entered Wanjian Peak and ended this training.
He took out his identity jade disc and saw the message on it. It was indeed information that had to be dealt with immediately.
Patriarch Lu sent him a message, asking him to return to the mountain gate as soon as possible.
Li Yuanba didn't know what was going on, but he couldn't disobey the order of Ancestor Lu.
He sent a message to Deacon Yue Xing, telling him that he was going back to the mountain gate, and then he drove his sword towards the mountain gate.
Although he did not use the 'Lotus Step by Step', he was a sword cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and he was practicing the top sword cultivation technique 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' as his foundation, so his sword escape speed was not slow.
When he arrived at the sect, he found that the sect's formation was in its maximum open state.
This situation rarely happens. It is obvious that the formation is being controlled by a formation master. This will only happen when a major event occurs in the sect.
After showing his jade identity disc and being scanned by the formation, he was allowed to enter the mountain gate.
This strict inspection alone is completely different from usual times.
"Come to San Sheng Peak!" The voice of Ancestor Lu sounded in his ears, and he heard Ancestor Lu's instructions as soon as he entered the mountain gate.
He did not stop his sword escape and flew towards the Three Sacred Peaks.
When flying over various places in the mountain gate, he saw that every formation was activated, and there were also a large number of Jindan monks at some important formation nodes.
A tense atmosphere was lingering in the sect, and he couldn't help but wonder what had happened.
When they arrived at the Three Saints Peak, in the sky outside the Three Saints Peak, many high-ranking officials of the sect and four Jindan elders with the aura of great elders stood in the void, as if waiting for something.
When several sect leaders saw Li Yuanba, they all had warm smiles on their faces.
This made Li Yuanba feel a chill. He was not familiar with the sect's senior leaders, but he knew that they were all well-known magic cultivators. This warm smile was too different from the personality of a magic cultivator.
No cultivator spoke to him, and the formation of the Three Sacred Peaks opened a passage, allowing him to enter the Three Sacred Peaks.
As soon as he entered the formation of the Three Saints Peak, he felt the restlessness of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This extremely unstable state of spiritual energy should not appear in a place like the Three Saints Peak.
"Greetings, ancestor!" When Li Yuanba saw Ancestor Lu, he bowed and saluted.
"Now you are here. Your master will try to break through to the Nascent Soul stage soon. You are his true disciple. You will watch the process from the side. This is a rare opportunity. You must cherish it!" Patriarch Lu said with a smile when he saw Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba showed a look of surprise on his face. His master, Elder Jian, was finally about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
This is a very good thing. Patriarch Lu has always protected him, but Patriarch Lu is a generation away from him, so their relationship is naturally not as close as his relationship with Elder Jian.
Once Elder Jian succeeds in breaking through, he will have the support of two Nascent Soul ancestors.
As for whether Elder Jian can successfully break through, Li Yuanba, who also practices the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky', is very confident about this.
The top sword cultivation technique 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' has a bonus for the formation of the Infant. Combined with the Infant formation resources prepared by the sect and Elder Jian himself, his chances of breaking through are greater than other cultivators.
In the Northern Shu Continent, there is probably no martial arts of the same level as the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky'. The 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' is a martial art that can break through the Nascent Soul Stage and rise to a higher level.
The highest level of martial arts in the Northern Shu Continent is only the Nascent Soul Stage.
This difference in practice has a great impact on the formation of the infant.
Sword cultivators who practice the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' do not focus on the Nascent Soul stage, but on a higher level. Regardless of other aspects, they are far ahead in their state of mind.
"Ancestor, how is the master doing?" Li Yuanba couldn't help but ask.
“Feel the spiritual energy here. He has excellent talent and can already sense the heaven and earth. I am very optimistic about his advancement to the Nascent Soul stage!” Because Li Yuanba is a family member, Patriarch Lu says whatever he thinks.
"Those people outside?" Li Yuanba thought of the Jindan cultivators outside when he entered the Three Saints Peak and asked again.
"They want to watch the promotion process, but that's wishful thinking. One more person watching may cause more trouble. Anyway, the sect requires at least one junior with outstanding talents to watch. Your coming is enough!" Patriarch Lu replied with a smile.
Only then did Li Yuanba understand the reason why those Jindan cultivators outside were waiting. Probably because they could not enter the Three Sacred Peaks to observe, they stayed outside to more or less feel the atmosphere of promotion.
As for his outstanding talent, this is recognized in the sect.
Who asked him to be promoted to the Golden Core stage in his thirties and then took a few more years to be promoted to the middle stage of the Golden Core? Just based on this speed of cultivation, if it is not worthy of the evaluation of outstanding talent, there will be no younger generations with outstanding talent in the sect.
"Your cultivation speed is a bit too fast!" Patriarch Lu glanced at Li Yuanba and said.
However, when he carefully felt Li Yuanba's cultivation, admiration appeared in his eyes.
“Yes, although your cultivation speed is very fast, your realm is very stable. It is wrong to say that you have outstanding talent. Your talent is rare in a thousand years!” Ancestor Lu said with a smile.
He was naturally extremely happy. His disciple was about to be promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, while his disciple's grandson had already reached the middle Golden Core stage and had completed more than half of the cultivation process in the middle Golden Core stage.
Elder Jian did not have the talent like Li Yuanba back then. In his opinion, the probability of Li Yuanba advancing to the Nascent Soul stage was very high.
