The temperature around the strange eye where Kong Ju's soul resided was getting higher and higher, burning until twisted heat waves rose up around the void.

Eventually, the high temperature turned into a deep red color, spreading out from the heterochromatic pupil.

That strange eye also jumped out from the gold paper that was folded into a pocket as the red energy surged.

Under the surge of red energy, the strange eye seemed to have transformed into a setting sun, emitting murderous intent and illuminating the surrounding void with a blood-red color.

This part of the soul is now immersed in the Daily Archery Path.

In the secular world on the other side.

Kong Jue's position is also quietly changing.

Kong Ju's consciousness repeatedly evolved the last arrow that Yu Xianqi shot at him.

Unconsciously, his body was completely enveloped by the dark blue light.

The whole body turned into a sharp arrow with a strong aura.

His two souls were each comprehending a scripture, and as time went by, the two different archery paths now showed signs of merging together.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but the soul that was comprehending the Sun-Chasing Sutra in the void suddenly retracted its light.

In the present world, the faint blue light on Kong Ju's body suddenly dissipated.

His eyes suddenly opened.

The pair of eyes took on the colors of blood and dark blue, representing the arrow intent of the setting sun and the arrow intent of the annihilation of the void respectively.

Finally, two streams of energy overflowed from Kong Jue's pupils and gathered at the center of Kong Jue's eyebrows.

At this moment, Kong Ju stood up, and the Annihilation Arrow Intention and the Residual Sun Arrow Intention wrapped around his body seemed to be pulled by some force, merging with each other and turning into a pure black to the extreme.

That kind of darkness seemed to be able to swallow up all the light in the world.

The night-shining pearls inlaid in Kongqi Cave suddenly lost their brilliance the moment the darkness burst forth.

The entire cave was pitch dark.

In the darkness, Kong Ju clenched his fingers in the air, and all the darkness gathered and condensed on Kong Ju's fingers, turning into a deep, dark black arrow.

Outside, it is a bright sunny day.

The moment the arrow took shape, the light of the inner gate of the Cangwu sect was swallowed up by some force, and the entire inner gate seemed to fall into the void. Even the soul in the realm of palm life could not see any picture in the dark curtain.

The inner door was boiling in an instant. Although they couldn't see each other, they could at least hear each other's voices.

All the inner disciples shouted in fear: "What happened? Is it an enemy attack?"

"Damn it, am I blind or something!"

The powerful ones in the realm of life are relatively calm.

In the darkness, they could faintly feel a sharp and evil arrow rising into the sky from a cave in the inner gate.

And that cave was exactly Kong Ju’s residence.

"It's the arrow! Kong Ju's archery skills have made a breakthrough!"

Huangfu Ying was sitting high on the Qingcang Palace, gazing in the direction of Kongju Cave Mansion. There was no trace of surprise in his voice, as if he was just casually chatting about family matters.

Inside the cave, Kong Ju held the dark black arrow, but ultimately did not shoot it. Instead, he closed his eyes and felt the new arrow intent formed by the fusion of the Cang Ri Arrow intent and the Annihilation Arrow intent on his fingers.

The barrier of his archery that had been stagnant for ten years was broken down by itself as his new archery spirit arose.

Kong Ju had a smile on his face, and he had already chosen a name for his new archery path in his mind.

"This arrow is called Eclipse!"

As soon as the arrow was fired, the sky and earth lost their color, and the light of the sun, moon, stars and city was instantly taken away.

The meaning of eclipse fits the vision of this arrow perfectly.

Having said that, Kong Ju's mind moved, and he withdrew the Eclipse Arrow condensed at his fingertips, transforming it into a mysterious black light and merging into his body.

The breakthrough in archery was of great benefit to Kong Jiuyue's soul.

It was almost the moment when the Eclipse Arrow's power merged into his body.

Ji Yue's soul rose from his body on its own and hung high above his head.

The fluctuations of the cultivation level of the middle stage of the palm life emanating from the soul therefore continued to rise.

Unfortunately, at the Palm of Life level, any breakthrough is extremely long and difficult.

Even if Kong Jue realized and transformed a new archery concept and created a new archery path, it would be difficult for Ji Yue's soul to take this opportunity to directly break through to the late stage of Palm Life.

"Not even in the late stage of life, but at least I have learned half a bucket of knowledge."

Kong Ju assessed his current strength.

"In less than five years, I should be able to try to break through to the late stage of Palm Life."

Even though five years seems like a long time, it is not really long considering that the maximum lifespan of a person can be close to a thousand years.

It takes an ordinary palm student ten years or even a hundred years to make a breakthrough.

Besides, it has only been less than a year since Kong Jue broke through to the middle stage of Palm Life.

If news of this speed were to spread, it would be enough to leave many cultivators in the Xianyun Realm dumbfounded.

Above the void of the inner gate.

Zhenren Changqing and Lei Zun stood side by side, both looking at Kong Ju's cave with smiles on their faces.

They were all startled by Kong Ju's Eclipse Arrow just now, so they walked out of the forbidden area.

The changes in Kong Ju's cultivation level were clearly seen by the two great masters.

"Congratulations, Lord Lei. Your sect has found a treasure by picking up a little pervert like Kong Ju as a disciple." True Man Chang Qing couldn't help but offer congratulations, but the expression on that perfect face looked mostly mocking.

After all, she never regarded Kong Ju as a member of the Cangwu Sect from the beginning to the end, but rather treated him as a disciple of the Guanghan Palace.

Lei Zun didn't know that Kong Ju's identity was so complicated. He just smiled heartily, his face full of joy at Kong Ju's improvement in cultivation, and replied in a gentle voice: "It's rare good news recently."

Before, True Man Changqing had told Lei Zun about some of Tong Jiugao's not-so-good predictions about the Cangwu Sect in the forbidden area.

That’s why Lei Zun said that Kong Ju’s breakthrough was a rare good news in recent times.

Chang Qing Zhenren's smile quickly faded, and he sighed, "Qinghu and Cangwu Sects are both in Wudong. You and I are both creators of Xuan, and we are both planning to resist the great events of Cangming Realm. We should share weal and woe."

"Don't worry, if there is any disaster, I will not sit idly by."

After saying this, Chang Qing added with regret: "It was the immortal who had practiced the Yin Ghost Path, and was sometimes in a state of chaos. Sometimes he couldn't even remember his own name."

"I'm afraid they chose the right time to come this time. We can't rely entirely on Tianqi."

Lei Zun was already extremely grateful for Changqing's help.

The situation of the immortal was too special, and there was nothing that could be done, so he nodded carefully and said, "I understand."

"I won't disturb Master Lei Zun." Chang Qing didn't like going out, so it was not easy for him to go out and have a good chat with Master Lei Zun these days.

After taking a final look at Kong Ju's cave, he said goodbye to Lei Zun and stepped into the void.

Lei Zun clasped his fists heavily towards the place where Changqing left.

Then he looked towards Kong Ju's cave.

True Man Changqing and Lei Zun had only met twice, and Qinghu Blessed Land and Cangwu Sect had never had any interactions, yet they dared to say that they shared weal and woe.

No matter how you look at it, there must be a reason behind it.

"If the Cangwu Sect can survive this catastrophe with the help of Changqing Zhenren, it can be considered that it is all thanks to this little fellow Kong Ju."

Lei Zun chuckled and shook his head, then stepped into the forbidden area without disturbing the people in the cave. He was silently digesting the Kong Ju he had obtained this time.

In the blink of an eye.

More than a year has passed since the Cangwu Sect's banquet for the Immortal Ascension Ceremony for all of Xianyun Realm came to an end.

Calculating the time, there is only one year left until the gate is officially opened.

Outside Mu Xiaoye's cave, Kong Ju was sitting on a blue stone outside the door in a plain dress.

Mu Xiaoye, who had a ponytail, and Li Guigui, who had grown half a head taller, sat on the ground and looked at the boy in front of them seriously.

Kong Ju was making hand seals, and as his fingers kept changing, the frosty white black ice in his hands kept changing into various shapes.

Sometimes it turns into arrows, sometimes into flying swords and halberds.

Although Kong Ju has tried his best to suppress the range of the Taoism in his hands, his current level of cultivation is still too overbearing for the two people in front of him.

The pervasive chill made the faces of the two girls, one big and one small, pale.

Kong Ju noticed the changes in the two people. When he saw that it was almost done, he lightly tapped the black ice with his finger. The snowflakes exploded instantly and turned into flying snow all over the sky, covering this small world and falling on the little girl in front of him.

For a moment, both of them were dressed in silver.

This caused Mu Xiaoye and Li Guigui to clap excitedly.

Mu Xiaoye said proudly: "Brother Kong's attainments in the art of ice are unmatched in Wudong and even in Xianyun Realm."

"Don't just read it, but comprehend it more." Kong Ju looked at Mu Xiaoye who was only clapping his hands with a headache, and said kindly: "This "Snow Burial Record" was one of the three great skills of my Cangwu Sect back then, and it was the sect's Taoist technique. Looking at Wudong and even Xianyun Realm, there are few ice-based Taoist techniques that can compare with it."

"I begged my master for many days before he agreed to let me teach you."

"It is because my sect has been developing rapidly over the years and I have found many rare Taoist methods from Dingyue Sect and Wushen Temple that he would not hide them like this."

"I see. Actually, I've already gotten the hang of it." When Mu Xiaoye saw that Kong Ju was about to give another long speech, he immediately raised his hands playfully, signaling him to stop talking.

Kong Ju was amused by Mu Xiaoye's anger and said unhappily, "It's just the first half of the "Burial in the Snow" chapter. It's still too early for the second half of the "Sniffing the Snow" chapter. When I was at your level of cultivation, I had already mastered the "Burial in the Snow" chapter and only mastered the "Sniffing the Snow" chapter to a small extent."

"How can I compare with Brother Kong?" Mu Xiaoye answered confidently.

Many years have passed, and Mu Xiaoye has now reached the peak of Shuangling realm and is about to enter the last realm of Shenglun, Soul Transformation.

He is the most sought-after talent under the leader of the Cangwu sect.

Her talent in swordsmanship is unquestionable. She has realized a new swordsmanship and opened up a new path in Qinghu blessed land, and is almost catching up with Shangguan Yuzhou.

It is that in the practice of Taoism, the progress is very slow.

Kong Ju also saw it and was worried.

Unfortunately, Mu Xiaoye’s talent in Taoism is limited, and he cannot be forced to do it.

Kong Ju shook his head and said no more. Instead, he looked at Li Guigui who had been sitting next to Mu Xiaoye and grinning.

This little girl is nine years old. She has been learning for a year and has now reached the third level of Yanglun.

It’s even faster than Mu Xiaoye’s cultivation speed back then.

A year of comfortable life allowed her body to grow slowly. Although she was only nine years old, her height was almost up to Mu Xiaoye's shoulders.

"Guigui." Kong Ju called Li Guigui's name.

"Here!" Li Guigui, who had been secretly watching Kong Ju scolding Mu Xiaoye, sat up straight immediately.

Kong Ju casually condensed a long spear of ice and snow and threw it at the latter, which was caught steadily by Li Guigui.

Kong Ju pretended to be serious and said, "Let me see if you have been lazy these days."

Her father, Han Xi, was a rare swordsmanship genius in Wudong. Kong Ju thought that she would also have a special liking for swords in this life.

But Li Guigui was more interested in Kong Ju's halberd skills and insisted on practicing halberd.

Kong Ju let her go and gave her the "Gui Po Cui Cheng Ji" that was practiced by the outer disciples of Guanghan Palace.

This "Gui Po Cui Cheng Ji" is not a very powerful inheritance, and it is not included in the oath to heaven sworn by Kong Ju.

Li Guigui also worked hard and mastered the Changji Duanjiang technique in less than half a year.

When she heard that Kong Ju wanted to test her, she immediately cheered up, picked up the ice halberd that was much taller than her, and slowly danced with it under the gaze of Mu Xiaoye and Kong Ju.

She was petite and looked funny dancing with the halberd.

Moreover, the way of the halberd is domineering in nature, and it is somewhat inappropriate for a little girl like her to practice it.

But she enjoyed it, and each of her moves was performed to standard. Even Kong Ju could not find any fault with it and nodded repeatedly.

"How can I be as good as you, Master?" Li Guigui performed two sets of halberd techniques without even taking a breath, looking at Kong Ju with anticipation.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"I haven't said yet that I want to accept you as my apprentice, so you are not allowed to call me master!" Kong Ju waved his hands repeatedly, pointing out that Li Guigui's address was inappropriate.

Then he taught earnestly:

"The way of the halberd requires courage and perseverance, so progress is fastest in life-and-death battles. You are still young and your cultivation is not high, so there is no need to rush to develop the momentum of the halberd."

"When you go to the outer sect, there will be plenty of opportunities for training."

"Okay!" Li Guigui responded with disappointment.

Ever since Kong Ju made a breakthrough in archery and figured out the Eclipse Arrow, he has hardly left the Cangwu Sect in the past year.

The main reason was that he was afraid that disaster would befall the Cangwu Sect as soon as he left.

With his strength, he is now among the top group of powerful people in the Xianyun Realm, except for Master Zaoxuan.

How can the Cangwu sect survive without him?

However, the progress of his cultivation was very slow, so Kong Ju simply focused on Mu Xiaoye and Li Guigui, the two hopes for the future of Guanghan Palace.

I have been guiding them in their cultivation over the past year.

After today's routine check on their practice, seeing that the time was almost up, they left Mu Xiaoye's cave and went to the back mountain of the main peak.

In front of the main peak stands the Qingcang Palace, so the main peak is the symbol of power of the entire Cangwu sect.

At the same time, the mountain behind the main peak also has its significance.

Behind the mountain are buried the remains of the predecessors of the Cangwu School.

Only those who have made outstanding contributions during their lifetime are qualified to be buried in the mountain behind the main peak, and their inheritance will be placed in the inheritance site of the inner sect of Cangwu Sect.

At the end of the stacked tombstones, there was a patch of newly turned soil.

Engraved on it are the position and name that the owner of the new grave held in the Cangwu Sect during his lifetime.

'The Tomb of Zhou Shangxiang, Master of the Alchemy Pavilion'

It was the tomb of Zhou Tingyu's aunt, Zhou Shangxiang, the head of the Alchemy Pavilion.

As the time for the opening of the boundary gate draws closer, everyone in the Cangwu sect is practicing with all their might. Influenced by the revival of spiritual energy, many people's cultivation levels have skyrocketed.

Many people also died along the way.

Zhou Shangxiang is one of them.

One month after Kong Ju understood the power of the Eclipse Arrow, he died in seclusion in a cave with his soul shattered.

Before Kong Ju rose to prominence, he had received favor from Zhou Shangxiang, so he often came to pay his respects.

He looked at the tombstone with Zhou Shangxiang's name engraved on it, but his eyes were not very sad.

The path of cultivation is inherently dangerous.

Especially the palm-created barrier, if you don’t advance you will die.

Kong Ju even thought that one day he might die on the road to breaking through the mystery.

Kong Ju condensed a cluster of black ice flowers and quietly placed them on Zhou Shangxiang's grave, saying softly, "Elder Zhou, if you are still alive, please bless your good friend Shi Jinchi to successfully break through to the Palm Life Stage."

After the victory in the battle of the Witch God Temple, Shi Jinchi also went into seclusion to strive for the realm of Palm of Life.

A year has passed and his life or death is still unknown.

Just as Kong Ju was standing in front of Zhou Shangxiang's grave, another beautiful figure fell from the sky.

Her golden eyes stayed on Kong Ju for a moment.

Kong Ju smiled warmly and called out her name: "Junior Sister Huangfu."

Huangfu Wuqin grew up with Huangfu Ying. She and her father Huangfu Ying were emotionally distant, and Zhou Shangxiang was with her most of the time, so she was familiar with Zhou Tingyu.

Zhou Shangxiang's death made Huangfu Wuqin sad, and he often came to the grave to pay his respects.

Huangfu Wuqin also held a bunch of freshly picked wild flowers in her hand and gently placed them in front of Zhou Shangxiang's grave.

Kong Ju, who always disliked dull occasions, didn't know what to say.

For a moment, both of them were speechless.

At that time, the mountain breeze blew past, lifting up Kong Ju's cuffs and Huangfu Wuqin's black hair.

Huangfu Wuqin wiped Zhou Shangxiang's tombstone with a handkerchief she carried with her, then looked back at Kong Ju and said in a light voice, "Take some time to visit Zhou Tingyu. She hasn't been out for several months."

"Wouldn't it be better if Junior Sister Huangfu went to do this kind of thing?" Kong Ju touched his nose, not understanding the deeper meaning of Huangfu Wuqin's words.

After all, in his opinion, Huangfu Wuqin, who grew up with Zhou Tingyu as a childhood sweetheart, was more suitable to comfort Zhou Tingyu than himself.

He even added: "Why don't we go ask Senior Brother Shangguan if he's free?"

Kong Jue's words were unintentional, but Huangfu Wuqin shook her head, and her clear voice was filled with helplessness: "Where has your usual cleverness gone?"

Kong Ju smiled shamelessly. He had nothing to pretend in front of Huangfu Wuqin. He even said proudly, "I used it all to trick people."

Huangfu Wuqin was so choked by Kong Ju's words that he wanted to say something many times but didn't know how to start. In the end, he could only glare at him fiercely.

Everyone in the sect can see that Zhou Tingyu's heart is on Kong Ju.

Every time Kong Ju comes back, Zhou Tingyu and Mu Xiaoye are the happiest people.

Mu Xiaoye is fine, but Zhou Tingyu’s thoughts can almost be seen by everyone.

But Kong Jue acted as if he didn't see it.

Huangfu Wuqin didn't know what to say.

"Anyway, go and see him for me." Huangfu Wuqin's words were quite forceful.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Kong Ju agreed repeatedly. He could only compromise and said, "I'll go today, okay?"

Huangfu Wuqin was silent for a moment, then added: "I'd better go with you."

Kong Ju silently thought in his heart: "Women are really troublesome."

Of course, Kong Ju didn't dare say these words in front of Huangfu Wuqin.

After the two finished talking, they were about to leave. They had no idea that at this moment, outside the Xianyun Realm, a major event that was enough to shake the Xianyun Realm was quietly happening.

The starry sky is vast and boundless.

Seen from afar in the starry sky, the Xianyun Realm looks like a blue fruit, hanging upside down at the end of a branch that stretches to the endless depths of the universe.

The entire Xianyun Realm is isolated by a white barrier.

In the boundless starry sky dotted with stars, there is only an invisible and almost transparent portal standing, faintly leading to the interior of the Xianyun Realm.

The portal was flowing with light like water. This was the only passage to the Xianyun Realm, which was the boundary gate mentioned by the cultivators of the Cangming Realm and the Xianyun Realm.

The reason why Zao Xuan from the Cangming Realm has not yet descended to the Xianyun Realm is all because of this realm gate.

Although the restrictions of the gate have become weaker and weaker with the revival of the Xianyun Realm's spiritual power, Zaoxuan still doesn't dare to set foot in it easily.

Just when Kong Ju and Huangfu Wuqin arrived at Zhou Tingyu's cave.

Suddenly, a burst of light emanated from the portal of the world gate.

A young man with evil tattoos all over his body walked out of the door slowly.

There was not a single clean spot on his skin; it was all covered by the horrific pattern, and his facial features were blurred.

The only thing visible was a pair of eyes, but there was no emotion in them.

If Kong Ju was present, he would definitely be able to recognize the identity of this young man, who was none other than the Holy Son of Gujiang.

On the eve of the destruction of the Witch God Temple, he disappeared mysteriously, and now he has walked out of the gate and left the Xianyun Realm.

But his eyes were completely different from the madness before, and there was an indescribable indifference in them as he looked down at the Xianyun Realm behind him.

That kind of coldness seemed to regard all the living beings in this world as dead objects.

The Holy Son of Gujiang appeared just before and after the gate.

Buzz! The starry sky outside the gate suddenly twisted.

The entire galaxy seemed to have turned into stagnant water in a pool, being stirred by a pair of giant hands.

The pool of water called the Galaxy was disturbed and became distorted.

Under this strange change, the brilliance of the stars not only did not dim, but became even brighter.

Bang, bang, bang! Finally, endless starlight gathered towards the boundary gate.

Condensed into three humanoid creatures.

Their bodies are condensed from starlight.

They were wearing three eye-catching starry sky robes, and their faces could not be seen under the cover of the starry sky robes.

Just at the moment when the three people appeared at the gate.

Three pairs of star-like eyes opened simultaneously above the starry sky.

Those three pairs of eyes seemed to be able to see through the gate and into the Xianyun Realm.

Right now.

The strange phenomenon in the starry sky also affected Wudong.

Now is the You hour.

The afterglow of the setting sun has not yet disappeared on the horizon.

However, the moment those three pairs of eyes opened on the galaxy.

The entire Wudong sky was suddenly shrouded in darkness.

The world seemed to be wrapped in a black curtain.

The whole Wudong was pitch dark. (End of this chapter)
