The top of Tianshou Peak.

Lu Qingshan looked at Kong Nian, who was about 40 years old, with amazement on his face.

"Uncle Kong, you looked like this when I joined the sect!"

Kong Nian laughed: "Are you jealous now? I am still so young, but you are no longer young!"

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, a faint smile on his face.

Looking at Kong Nian in his youth, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Finally, Taixuanmen no longer needs him to carry it alone.

It's great to have someone to back you up! Then Lu Qingshan asked, "Uncle Kong, have you just broken through to the Dharma Realm?"

Kong Nian nodded slightly: "Yes, thanks to the longevity fruit that Jiang Yuan gave me, I can return to my youth and peak state, so that I can condense my soul in one fell swoop and break through the Dharma Realm."

After getting the expected answer, Lu Qingshan felt completely relieved.

"Then I'll feel relieved!"

Nie Xuan looked at the two of them and suddenly said, "Brother Kong, can you now make clear the important matter you just mentioned?"

Kong Nian nodded, but Lu Qingshan said, "Let me tell you!"

He coughed twice and pondered for two breaths to organize his words.

Then he slowly told what had happened in Lizhu Cave Heaven.

As he spoke, everyone was shocked at first, and then their expressions gradually became solemn.

The visit of Wang Xiao, the great Dharma master, is indeed a big deal.

If the Dharma Master from the Qianyuan Imperial Family came to visit, it would be no less than a disaster for the Taixuan Sect.

If they can survive this disaster, the Taixuan Sect will surely soar to the sky and occupy a transcendent position in the Qianyuan Kingdom.

If not, then there is no point in talking about it. Taixuanmen may become a part of Qianyuan Kingdom’s history, and become a record of just a few hundred words.

After hearing this, everyone fell silent and fell into silence for a while.

Nie Xuan suddenly said: "Everyone, there is no need to be so serious. My Taixuan Sect now has a Dharma Master sitting in charge, so why should we be afraid of Wang Xiao?"

"Besides, we rely on the mountain protection formation. What can we do even if another Dharma master comes?"

Kong Nian nodded slightly: "In three days, I will be able to enter the second level of the Dharma Realm! What is there to be afraid of a mere Wang Xiao!"

"Are you serious, Uncle Kong?" Lu Qingshan showed a look of delight on his face.

"Of course! Kong Nian nodded: "I have stayed in the ninth level of the Divine Bridge Realm for so many years, and it is not in vain. My accumulated mana has already been several times that of an ordinary ninth level of the Divine Bridge Realm!"

"Once my transformation is complete, I will be able to easily enter the second level of the Dharma Realm!"

"Wang Xiao is only at the third level of the Dharma Realm. It won't be difficult to surpass his level!" Kong Nian said proudly.

"That's great!" Lu Qingshan smiled.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Then an elder asked, "What should we do if there are more than two Dharma-image masters coming?"

Jiang Yuan said slowly: "I can fight one by myself!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at Jiang Yuan in surprise, with disbelief in their eyes.

Fighting a Dharma image alone! This statement completely broke their cognition.

The great cultivation of Dharmadhatu, what a terrifying existence it is.

One person is the Dinghai Shenzhen! If there is no strong person of the same realm, no matter how many practitioners in the Shenqiao realm there are, it will be difficult to pose a threat to him.

This is the suppression of a great realm.

It is extremely difficult to cross the border!

Not to mention that Jiang Yuan is so old, no matter how fast his cultivation breakthrough is, how can other methods keep up? An elder suppressed his emotions and asked, "What is the current level of cultivation of Fellow Daoist Jiang Yuan?"

The reason why he called him fellow Taoist was that he recognized Jiang Yuan's strength.

After listening to what happened to Jiang Yuan in Lizhu Cave Heaven, he understood something.

Jiang Yuan’s current strength has surpassed theirs, so naturally he can call him fellow Taoist.

In the path of spiritual practice, age and seniority do not matter; those who are more accomplished come first.

Jiang Yuan glanced at everyone and no longer restrained his aura, revealing his seventh-level Divine Bridge Realm aura.

Everyone's expression suddenly froze.

"The seventh level of the Divine Bridge Realm!" The leader of Wushan Peak exclaimed with his hands covering his mouth.

She was standing in front of Jiang Yuan at this moment, only at the height of Jiang Yuan's chest, and her appearance looked like a young girl.

But her real age is enough to be Jiang Yuan’s great-grandmother.

Wu Yin slowly spoke at this time: "But. The seventh level of the Divine Bridge Realm is one major realm and several minor realms away from the Dharma Realm Great Cultivator. How can I fight against him?"

Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "I know him better than you do. Even if Jiang Yuan is not a match for the Dharma Master, I can still contain him. When I am free, I can naturally deal with them one by one!"

“Can it really be contained?” An elder also frowned. “The Dharma Master is also a being that has condensed his primordial spirit. Once he masters a secret technique of the primordial spirit, he can kill anyone who has not condensed his primordial spirit with a thought!”

Kong Nian said calmly: "Jiang Yuan has already condensed his soul, so there is no need to worry about this!"

"I understand!" The elder exhaled lightly: "Since Fellow Daoist Kong Nian and the headmaster are optimistic about Jiang Yuan, then we also believe in your judgment."

Everyone no longer questioned this issue, but their expressions were still filled with worry and doubt.

In their cognition, the great realm of Dharma is like a chasm between heaven and earth, difficult to cross!

Not to mention, Jiang Yuan is now not only lacking one major realm, but also several minor realms.

Jiang Yuan restrained his breath and said to Lu Qingshan: "Master, can you take me to pay respect to Senior Brother Xu Bai's cenotaph?"

This instantly brought back Lu Qingshan's memories, and he nodded slowly: "Come with me!"

The figure instantly flew into the air, followed closely by Jiang Yuan and Shu Xiaoxiao.

Kong Nian looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, please disperse! I still need to consolidate my realm."

"Then I'll take my leave!" Nie Xuan bowed.

The others also bowed and left.

After Kong Nian entered the Dharmakāya state, his status in the Taixuan Sect was completely different. He was already above all the elders and the chief monk, and his status was transcendent.

Naturally, they did not dare to neglect him. Compared with before, both the elders and the chief monks were much more respectful towards Kong Nian.

After a moment.

Jiang Yuan and Lu Qingshan came to the forbidden area in the back mountain of Tianzhu Peak.

This place is where the core inheritors of the Tianzhu Peak lineage of all generations are buried. The three of them soon came to Xu Bai's tombstone.

Lu Qingshan gently wiped the dust off Xu Bai's tombstone.

He took out a bottle of wine, took a few sips himself, and then poured three sips in front of Xu Bai's tomb.

Jiang Yuan also came to Xu Bai's tomb and said, "Brother Xu, I have avenged you."

As he spoke, a white light flashed on his hand, and a large piece of snake bone floated in the air.

"This is the skeleton of the black python. I will use it to commemorate you today!"

Jiang Yuan's mind moved, and the true fire of the sun appeared out of thin air and stained the snake bones.

Lu Qingshan looked at Jiang Yuan in surprise, then remained silent and placed a few spiritual fruits in front of Xu Bai's tombstone.

In the face of the true fire of the sun, the large piece of snake bone was slowly burned into residue and dust, which fell on the grave.

Lu Qingshan placed the spiritual fruits in front of Xu Bai's tomb.

"Jiang Yuan, thank you very much!"

There was some sorrow in his voice.

Jiang Yuan shook his head: "Master, you don't have to do this. It is my duty to avenge Senior Brother Xu Bai!"

Then, Jiang Yuan took out another pot of wine.

"Brother Xu, I offer you a toast. Have a safe journey!"

After he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan poured the wine jug three times, and then took a sip himself.

This pot of wine was brewed by Shu Xiaoxiao for Jiang Yuan in Lizhu Cave.

Pick hundreds of fruits and pair them with the fine wine brewed from the cold pond’s spiritual spring.

Three bubbles of beer fell on the ground, emitting rich spiritual energy, and immediately the surrounding flowers and grass grew rapidly.

Flowers bloomed completely in front of Xu Bai's cenotaph, swaying gently in the breeze.

After paying homage to Xu Bai, Jiang Yuan took Shu Xiaoxiao back to his residence.

Then fall into a tense state of practice.

Ba Dao Men.

This sect is not located in the barren mountains and ancient forests like the Taixuan Sect.

Instead, it is very close to the secular world and looks like just an ordinary mountain villa.

But once you step into the villa, you will find many unusual things.

The spiritual energy of the entire villa is extremely rich, and a seemingly thin layer of mist covers the water surface.

But these are not water mist, but spiritual energy condensed into mist.

The reason why such rich spiritual energy can be gathered is not because of the good geographical location of Badaomen, but because there are several pieces of spiritual vein jade buried under the mountain gate.

It is the long-term efficacy of these spiritual veins and jade marrow that has transformed the ordinary ancestral land of Badaomen into a holy land of immortals.

"Hello, senior brother!" Wang Xiao respectfully saluted the man in a yellow short coat in front of him.

This person is the leader of Badao Sect and also Wang Xiao’s only senior brother.

The rise of the Badao Sect is very mysterious, and it is talked about with relish even in the Qianyuan Kingdom.

One hundred and fifty years ago, the Badao Sect was still a secular martial arts sect, and there had never been a single extraordinary person in the sect.

Then, the leader of Ba Dao Sect got a chance and became extremely successful, leading Ba Dao Sect to grow stronger step by step.

However, the biggest change that brought about the Badao Sect was the child that the sect leader picked up from the roadside and buried his parents for.

That young boy was Wang Xiao, one of the few great Dharma masters in Qianyuan Kingdom.

Relying on Wang Xiao's sudden appearance, the Badao Sect became a top-notch force in Qianyuan State and ranked at the top of the pyramid.

But to Wang Xiao, this senior brother in front of him is both a brother and a father.

Badaomen is his home.

Song Que is not only his senior brother's last disciple, but also like his own child.

Song Que’s death made him so angry that he was willing to take action without caring about his predecessor’s face.

If it weren't for the interference of the Demon Sect Leader, he would have killed Jiang Yuan with his sword right then and there.

The leader of Badao Sect wiped his hands when he saw Wang Xiao coming.

"I already know what happened in Lizhu Cave Heaven. You were really reckless this time!"

Wang Xiao lowered his head: "I know that, but I didn't expect the leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult to suddenly intervene."

"Not only that, why don't you wait for the leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult to leave, then turn back and kill Jiang Yuan? Since you have offended such a genius, you must leave no room for him and not give him any chance to breathe!"

Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and said, "I forgot! At that time, I just wanted to send those disciples back and discuss it with my senior brother!"

"You" Ba Dao Sect's leader sighed again: "Alas! Now you have missed the good opportunity. If this boy takes the opportunity to escape from Qian Yuan Country in the next few days, how can we find him in such a big world?"

"According to what you said, this boy will probably be able to achieve the state of Dharma in five to ten years. If he comes to kill us at that time, how can we resist him?"

"I'll hold on!" Wang Xiao patted his chest.

“You?” The leader of Ba Dao Sect shook his head: “If Jiang Yuan breaks through the Dharma Realm, it won’t take long for him to be invincible in Qian Yuan Kingdom.

"If he achieves the Dharmakāya, even if your cultivation level is higher than his, you may not be his opponent!"

"This kind of person has a chance to enter the Supreme List in the future. How can you compete with him?"

Wang Xiao frowned immediately: "If he escapes, then I will use Taixuan Sect to force him to show up. Lu Qingshan can help him, so Taixuan Sect must treat him well!"

The leader of Ba Dao Sect nodded slightly: "That's a method! Anyway, since we have offended this kind of genius, we must leave no room for him and attack with all our strength to kill him in one fell swoop! We must not give him a chance to breathe!"

"With his talent, he must have great luck. If he is left with a glimmer of hope, he will be able to seize it and escape."

"Once you let the tiger go back to the mountains, there will be endless troubles!"

Wang Xiao nodded heavily and said, "I understand! I will attack Taixuanmen now. If Jiang Yuan is here, I will kill him with all my strength!"

"If he escapes from Qianyuan Country, I will use Taixuan Sect to force him to show up. I will kill ten of his fellow disciples every day. Especially Lu Qingshan, I will torture him slowly."

"Lu Qingshan can help him and treat him well, I don't believe he can remain indifferent!"

After saying that, Wang Xiao prepared to leave.

"Wait!" The leader of Badao Sect suddenly spoke.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"It's not enough for you to go alone. I will go with you to find the Qianyuan Imperial Family first!"

"Okay then! I'll follow Brother's arrangements!"

Wang Xiao nodded heavily.
