Chapter 139: The Peak Corpse Puppets of the Tribulation Realm (Four Thousand)
After Baili Xun and others got the news they wanted, they immediately returned to the Fu Sheng Dynasty.
Lai Yang and others also left to digest the gains from this experience.
After everyone left, a figure that looked like an ordinary old man slowly walked out of the void.
"Mr. Zhan." Lan Qingxian called out in a clear voice with a hint of respect on his face.
Elder Zhan nodded slightly, stroked his graying beard, and said slowly in an old and deep voice: "The road to immortality is about to open, Kui Zong has appeared again, and the continent is about to be in chaos again."
"Yes, I don't know how many strong people will die by then." There was a hint of sadness in Lan Qingxian's expression.
Suddenly, Zhan Lao sighed, looked at Lan Qingxian with a complicated expression and asked, "Are you sure you want to enter the Immortal Path this time?"
"I have to go in and take a look. The first two times the road to immortality was opened, I did not enter for the sake of the development and survival of the Immortal Sect. If I give up again this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to wait until the next time the road to immortality opens." Lan Qingxian nodded, his cold tone revealing his determination.
“What’s so good about the path to immortality? It’s full of dangers. Less than 10% of the seventh-level warriors who enter can come out alive. The path to ascension was cut off by a powerful person three thousand years ago, so that no one has succeeded in ascending in the past three thousand years. It’s better to give up the idea as soon as possible to avoid losing your life in vain.” Old Zhan couldn’t help but persuade.
"If you don't seek to become an immortal through cultivation, then what's the point? It's better not to embark on the path of cultivation in the first place." Lan Qingxian shook her head, looked at the old man with her deep and beautiful eyes, and asked in a clear voice, "Old Zhan, you have personally entered the immortal road. What is there? I heard that there is a way to go directly to the upper realm without ascending. Is this true?"
“I don’t know if there is a way to get to the Immortal Path through the upper realm. Although I have entered the Immortal Path, I have not been able to explore it in depth.” Old Zhan was entangled, and a trace of deep fear flashed across his eyes: “The Immortal Path is a terrifying place. It is not as beautiful as people from the outside imagine. I don’t know how many strong people have been buried in the outer area alone. Their corpses have paved a road of bones filled with evil spirits. I have personally seen my companions walk on the road paved with bones, and then their minds were invaded by the evil spirits, and they became something neither human nor ghost and never came out again. Too many geniuses have been buried on the Immortal Path.”
"If you are afraid of falling, how can you become an immortal and live forever?"
"Forget it, if you insist on doing this, then go ahead and give it a try. Then you will understand everything."
Old Zhan didn't say anything more. Lan Qingxian today is no different from the high-spirited man he once was when he was young.
Only those who have experienced the hell on the road to immortality will know how despairing it is.
Among the successive leaders of the Wenxian Sect, at least five had gone deep into the road to immortality in search of the method to become an immortal, but none of them succeeded in getting out, and their life or death are still unknown.
The situation of many other immortal sects was the same. The strong men of the sect fell, so there was no one to support the sect, and thus it went into decline and fall until it disappeared completely.
Although the road to immortality is extremely dangerous, the opportunity to become an immortal is a fatal temptation to countless cultivators. It is also the last straw for those who are nearing the end of their lives, making people unable to control themselves and want to grab it madly.
Just like a moth that flies into the fire, it is not afraid of being burned by the flames.
"If you really want to try your luck at becoming an immortal, I suggest you find some trustworthy teammates in advance. I think the guy from Yuanyang Mountain is pretty good."
Hearing this, Lan Qingxian couldn't help but be slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Mr. Zhan would think so highly of that person.
"You want me to invite him to go to the Immortal Path together? You said that even the seventh-level strong men can hardly move forward on the Immortal Path. His current spiritual power realm is not even at the Tribulation Realm. How can he survive on the Immortal Path?" Lan Qingxian showed a puzzled look and said slowly.
Zhan Lao shook his head and said seriously:
"Haha, don't underestimate him. This kid's body is definitely the strongest I've ever seen. Without any defense, he can use his body to withstand the full force attack of the Seventh Realm Early Stage Demon King without any injury. He even cut off the body of the Seventh Realm Middle Stage Demon King with one sword. Even I'm not sure I can kill him."
"If he is willing to join you on the road to immortality, it won't help you much, but it will at least increase your chances of coming back alive."
"Of course, the premise is that he is willing to help you sincerely, rather than saying one thing and thinking another."
Lan Qingxian fell into deep thought, still a little skeptical in his heart: "Is he really as powerful as you say? Maybe Zhan Lao has overestimated this man."
"Isn't there a chance to verify it right now? If you don't believe what I say, you can give it a try." Old Zhan said disapprovingly.
Elder Zhan is the most experienced and powerful man in the entire Wenxian Sect, and his own strength is among the best in the sect.
Even the sect leader Lan Qingxian had to give the other party some face. She wanted to believe what Elder Zhan said, but she couldn't believe it completely without seeing it with her own eyes.
"Okay, since Master Zhan said so." Lan Qingxian nodded and said in a deep voice.
"We'll have to wait and see."
After saying that, Old Zhan stood up and left, his old figure slowly disappearing on the fairy peak.
On the other side, Chu Xiao found a place to retreat and prepared to break through the sixth realm.
Lai Yang also returned to Yuanyang Mountain to practice in seclusion.
This trip brought him huge gains. His physical body was almost reaching the invincible level of the third layer of the seventh realm, and his spiritual power realm was almost unable to be suppressed. It was almost time for him to make another breakthrough.
Baili Xun and others returned to the Fu Sheng Dynasty, handed the photo stone they brought back to Baili Fu, and explained Lan Qingxian's request.
When he heard that Lan Qingxian wanted people to enter the Floating Life River and Mountain Map to practice for a year, he couldn't help but frowned.
The other conditions are easy to negotiate, but this Floating Life and Rivers Map is their foundation, so how can they easily give it to others to use?
Baili Fu did not rush to reply, but first finished looking at the images recorded by the photo stone.
Soon, he found out where his ancestor's remains were hidden. He didn't expect that the other party did not leave the sphere of influence of the Fu Sheng Dynasty, but hid in a dangerous canyon filled with miasma.
Because the canyon is filled with thick miasma and is home to many dangerous monsters, few people usually set foot there.
Furthermore, the other party hid very deeply, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find it.
Baili Fu did not hesitate. He immediately stood up and ordered the dispatch of a large army to suppress the miasma canyon and retrieve the remains of his ancestors.
As long as they can take the body back with their own strength, they won't have to ask the Xian Sect for help, and naturally they won't have to pay the Fu Sheng Jiang Shan Tu as a price, so there's no need to feel embarrassed.
Little did he know that Baili Fu would pay a heavy price for his decision.
Before we knew it, a year had passed.
Chu Xiao successfully broke through the sixth realm and his strength increased greatly.
Lai Yang broke through the sixth realm, fifth level of cultivation, and there were still a large number of cultivation resources available in his storage bag.
Therefore, Lai Yang did not rush to come out, but chose to continue practicing and concentrating.
That day, Lan Qingxian's spiritual voice suddenly sounded beside Lai Yang's ears: "I have something to discuss with the elders, come quickly."
Lai Yang naturally had to listen to Lan Qingxian's urgent summons, and immediately had to exit his cultivation state and go to the fairy peak where Lan Qingxian was.
In addition to Lai Yang, elders with cultivation levels of the sixth and seventh realms from the Wenxian Sect also arrived here one after another.
Seeing this scene, Lai Yang's heart froze. What big thing happened? Why did they suddenly summon so many elders?
"Master, why are you summoning us in such a hurry?" an elder asked puzzledly.
"I have just received news that the emperor of the Fu Sheng Dynasty led the army to suppress the evil cultivators of the Kui Sect, but was trapped by a conspiracy. His life or death is now unknown. The Fu Sheng Dynasty is willing to lend us the Fu Sheng Jiang Shan Tu for three years in exchange for our help in rescuing him. I would like to trouble all the elders to follow me to rescue him." Lan Qingxian said straight to the point without any nonsense.
Lan Qingxian paused and said in a deep voice: "This is a serious matter, please be careful and don't risk your life."
Lan Qingxian's attitude was strong, and it was obvious that he left no room for refusal. Everyone immediately responded, "Yes, Sect Master."
Then, led by Lan Qingxian, nine seventh-level powerful men and twenty-five sixth-level elders boarded the Sky-Breaking Shuttle and set off for the Fu Sheng Dynasty.
At the same time, Baili Fu and others were trapped in the canyon, and many of them were even infected with the terrible corpse poison.
No one expected that the people of Kui Zong seemed to have anticipated that they would find this place, so they set up a Yin Feng Shi Gu Array nearby and ambushed thousands of powerful puppets to lure them into the trap.
Baili Fu and Xie Zhan were seriously injured in the battle with the core elders of Kui Zong.
What they never expected was that the other party had successfully refined the remains of Baili Ancestor in such a short time.
Faced with a terrifying corpse puppet whose strength has reached the peak of the Tribulation Realm, what is the difference between them and walking into a trap?
With the power of the treasure, they can still hold on for a while, but once their spiritual power is exhausted, death is the only thing waiting for them.
Now the entire canyon is filled with corpse poison. They can't get out, and people outside can't get in.
Fortunately, at the last moment, they successfully sent some people out.
Now they can only pin their hopes on Baili Xun and others to notify Wenxian Sect in time and seek help from Wenxian Sect.
Otherwise, they would probably all become part of Kuizong's corpse puppet.
Baili Fu brought hundreds of thousands of people here, and now there are less than 10,000 people left alive, and some are suffering from corpse poison and are in excruciating pain.
Baili Fu regretted his actions to the extreme. In order to retrieve his ancestor's remains as soon as possible, he acted recklessly and greedily, which led to a disaster. Not only did he lose countless lives, but he also put himself in a desperate situation.
If he and Xie Zhan died here, Baili Fu couldn't imagine what kind of chaos the Fu Sheng Dynasty would fall into.
Suddenly, a thunderous sound like the mighty power of heaven broke the silence.
There was a huge sound of fighting outside the canyon.
Everyone was surprised.
At this moment, a thunderous shout resounded through the void: "The Wenxian Sect has arrived. Why don't you evil cultivators kneel down and be punished!"
"Wenxian Sect! The reinforcements from Wenxian Sect have arrived. We are saved."
"Your Majesty, the people from the Immortal Sect are here."
"Come here, pass on my orders, follow me and kill them all to wipe out the evil cultivators!"
Baili didn't hesitate. He stood up immediately and shouted with a powerful aura bursting out from his body.
On the other side, Lan Qingxian's beautiful eyes looked towards the dangerous canyon filled with miasma. She flipped her palm and took out a guqin. The sound of music spread out with a powerful mental attack.
Many threatening creatures hidden in the canyon were dispersed and eliminated.
"Go ahead, kill anyone who looks like an evil cultivator!"
"Yes, sir."
A group of elders from the sixth and seventh realms rushed towards the canyon. Countless powerful attacks swept down and flattened everything, leaving no place for people to hide.
Lan Qingxian looked up into the void, only to see a figure rushing out from the canyon, trying to escape.
The next moment, Lan Qingxian stood in front of the man.
Seeing this, the man didn't say a word and immediately attacked Lan Qingxian with extremely vicious means.
Lan Qingxian snorted softly, and under her control, the Feng Shui power between heaven and earth began to riot, merging and rushing towards the elder of Kuizong.
This is not over yet. Lan Qingxian pointed lightly with her slender hand, and the wind cut through the space like a knife, slashing fiercely towards the elder of Kuizong.
Elder Kui Zong instantly sensed the danger of death and his expression changed with fear.
The next moment, a figure stood in front of him and blocked this horrific attack for him.
Lan Qingxian's expression remained unchanged, her eyes fixed on the skinny man in front of her, with a little more seriousness in her heart.
There was not a trace of life on the other party's body. He was just a corpse puppet that had been refined to the peak of the Tribulation Realm.
She recognized at a glance that this corpse puppet was the ancestor that the Fu Sheng Dynasty had been looking for for a long time.
"Kill her!" Elder Kuizong ordered fiercely.
Ancestor Baili's body instantly broke through the layers of sound walls and rushed towards Lan Qingxian.
Lan Qingxian was startled and condensed a wind wall in an attempt to control the opponent's movements, but she obviously underestimated the physical strength of Baili Ancestor after being refined.
The corpse puppet has no sense of pain, so Ancestor Baili didn't care about being injured at all. He forcibly broke through the wind wall and punched at Lan Qingxian with the power to shatter the void.
Seeing that he couldn't dodge in time, Lan Qingxian used all his strength to activate the defensive spiritual weapon on his body, ready to take on this powerful and terrifying blow.
Suddenly, Lai Yang rushed out in time and kicked Baili Xianzu away with one kick. With a loud bang like a meteorite, he hit a mountain hard.
Lan Qingxian is Xiao Wen, Xiao Nuan and Chu Xiao’s master, he can’t just sit back and do nothing.
"Master, are you okay?" Lai Yang asked calmly.
Lan Qingxian nodded: "Well, I'm fine."
In just one sentence, the corpse puppet at the peak of the Tribulation Realm rushed out again, charging towards Lai Yang and Lan Qingxian to the death.
Seeing this, Lai Yang rushed up without hesitation and a terrifying battle broke out with him.
The two of them fought so hard that the space collapsed and the heaven and earth were in turmoil.
"Stop that thing." Lan Qingxian teleported in front of the elder of Kuizong, grabbed the other's neck with one hand, and ordered with a cold expression.
“You’re dreaming. Since you’re here, all of you should stay. After absorbing your blood and essence, my corpse puppet will definitely become stronger. Hehehe…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the elder of Kui Zong used some means to escape from his restraints, and then summoned out ten powerful corpse puppets with the cultivation level of the sixth realm.
"Humph, do you think there is no one in the Immortal Sect when I ask?!"
The elders of Wenxian Sect noticed the movement here and immediately joined the battle.
"If you don't agree, then go die."
Lan Qingxian was also a ruthless man of few words, and he immediately took action to kill the elder of Kuizong.
With so many of them, couldn't they control a corpse puppet at the peak of the Tribulation Realm? What a joke!
However, what was unexpected was that after Lan Qingxian killed the elder of Kuizong, his consciousness was actually transferred to the body of Baili Ancestor.
The body of Baili Ancestor was taken over by the elder of Kui Zong. His scarlet eyes burst out with terrifying murderous intent, and he roared:
"It doesn't matter if you destroy my useless body. You will all die here today!!!"
