Chapter 391 The Mysterious Situation in the Southern Part of the Void Daoist Treasury
Zi Dian's face turned from white to red, and several blue veins bulged on his forehead, causing the wound that had been eroded by the power of the Great Black Heaven to split open even wider.
Thick, black pus and blood oozed out, emitting a strong, foul stench; it was a truly pitiful sight!
He hadn't expected Wang Yu to respond so bluntly and directly, showing no respect whatsoever and truly treating him like family.
Consumed by rage.
Zidian Zhenjun slammed his hand on the table and pointed his finger at Wang Yu.
"Who do you think you are, daring to spout such nonsense!"
Wang Yu also sneered repeatedly.
"If you're not convinced, let's have a fight. If you win, I'll hand over this position to you. If you don't... I won't be greedy, I'll just give you thirty top-grade spirit stones."
"How dare you, you brat?!"
These words, spoken by Wang Yu with his youthful face, were full of sarcasm and were naturally very effective at provoking anger.
"--good!"
Just as Zi Dian agreed, Yang Lei Zhenjun slammed his hand on the table, and a burst of crimson lightning erupted.
"Enough!"
His cold gaze swept over Zidian, and he warned.
“Nephew, do not think that you have reached the top of the mountain just because you have reached the Nascent Soul stage. There are mountains beyond mountains and heavens beyond heavens. If a person is too arrogant, he will suffer misfortune.”
This statement was not made solely for Wang Yu's sake.
He had both the intention of upholding his own orders and the intention of teaching his friend Zidian's offspring, but the results seemed less than ideal.
The other party did not respond, acting as if they hadn't heard.
After listening for a while, Fenxin carefully considered his words before speaking.
“Zidian, you and Fellow Daoist Wang are both newly promoted to Nascent Soul stage, having recently condensed your Nascent Souls, and are both at the first level of cultivation. But this Ancestor Yunyan is a veteran Nascent Soul stage three expert…”
That's enough.
Having said all that, the other party should have understood what Burning Heart was trying to say: simply put... you are no match for him!
Why invite humiliation upon yourself?
The atmosphere became awkward and silent for a moment, while Wang Yu sat comfortably in his chair, the scroll recording the list of treasures already unrolled in his hand.
As a Nascent Soul cultivator, most of the treasures recorded above are things he can use. Due to the special time period during wartime, many restricted resources are opened up during normal times.
The number of battle merits required for each exchange is increasingly astonishing.
After quickly glancing around, Wang Yu's eyes swiftly landed on the list of secret techniques and supernatural abilities. He had long wanted to see what made the Taihu Wonderful Method different.
The record of capturing and killing a Nascent Soul cultivator... 100,000 battle merits.
It's only enough to exchange for one secret technique, or you can exchange it for top-grade spirit stones, which cost 10,000 each. There's a limit of ten per person, which seems a bit stingy.
However, limiting the number is necessary; otherwise, if everyone rushes to exchange for top-grade spirit stones, the war treasury built by the seven righteous sects will be completely drained of spirit stones alone.
After all, this thing can be used repeatedly. These days, who doesn't have a fourth-tier spiritual vein? Exchanging it for top-grade spirit stones is the most cost-effective way to use it.
The increase comes from accumulated resources; cultivators don't easily take out top-grade spirit stones.
Wang Yu thought for a moment and decided there was no rush to exchange for spirit stones.
There will be many more opportunities in the future. He wants a secret technique that can seal space. As long as he can seal the teleportation technique of a Nascent Soul cultivator, the possibility of killing a cultivator of the same realm will be greatly increased.
His cultivation level is too deceptive, easily causing others to be careless and develop the illusion that I can win and he is doomed.
Wang was merely a weak child at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage.
A quick glance at the list scroll revealed the target.
"Fellow Daoist Yang Lei, this one is fine."
The other person glanced at him and asked in surprise.
"The Daoist Treasury of the Void?"
The others all looked over, clearly recognizing the name. Wang Yu, however, had never been to Taihu and was unaware of the ins and outs of the place.
Is there something wrong with it?
"Country bumpkin."
Zi Dian, as if triumphant, calmly placed his hands on his chest and explained without turning his head.
"The Void Dao Canon is a gift left to future generations by the first emperor of the ancient Immortal Dynasty. It is known as the closest inheritance to the immortal methods in this world. Anything that is named Dao Canon is a top-level wonderful method that encompasses everything."
"Many inheritances are only for those in the Nascent Soul stage, and the difficulty is extremely high. Many of the resources that aid in cultivation have been lost, so you cannot cultivate them."
Zi Dian's tone was resolute, as if he was certain that Zi Dian couldn't succeed.
In response to this.
Wang Yu didn't take it to heart, and even returned a meaningful smile. He liked supernatural powers and secret techniques that had a powerful origin and were difficult to cultivate.
Simple doesn't necessarily mean impossible.
But the difficult ones are always incredibly awesome, and that's what he values.
As for the reason why this person frequently opposes him.
Lei Yao secretly explained to him via telepathy that Zi Dian was also a direct descendant of Lei Huo Guan, with an extraordinary background, and that her father was a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
He is a generation older than Lei Yao.
Ordinary people have a generation that lasts about twenty-five years, but cultivators are not so stable, especially in families with high cultivation levels, where the gap is even greater and there is no fixed standard.
Therefore, the generation gap here refers to the previous generation of geniuses of Lei Huo Guan, which generally spans a period of one to two hundred years. Zi Dian's ability to stand out means that he was already the best among the previous generation of geniuses.
Beneath an arrogant and complacent personality.
He felt both ashamed of being no match for Black Heaven Talisman Lord and dissatisfied with Wang Yu's outstanding performance. He considered the position of Demon-Slaying General to be his for the taking.
This led to the conflict.
In reality, who cares whether he won or lost? Being overly concerned about other people's opinions will only lead to losing one's true self. It's actually quite normal that he was no match for Black Heaven Talisman Lord, and no one blames him.
But Zidian's long-standing pride made him feel that other people's eyes were different, as if they were surprised that he would be defeated.
To become a genius admired by all.
There are advantages and disadvantages, with the issue of one's moral character being the most prominent. If one is praised and elevated to a high position from a young age, it is easy to become discouraged and give up when suddenly encountering a crushing defeat.
Wang Yu shook his head inwardly, but affirmed to True Monarch Yang Lei.
"This is it."
"good."
Since Wang Yu insisted, True Monarch Yang Lei did not intend to dissuade him any further. Ten thousand battle merits could not be exchanged for all the Void Dao Treasures, but obtaining one of the secret techniques was enough.
"At the latest, Fellow Daoist Wang should come to see me again in half a month. Bringing over the secret manual will take time."
"That's easy, no rush."
Once the matter was settled, Wang Yu left.
Seeing this, Lei Yao apologized to everyone and left early, hurriedly chasing after them. This situation made Yang Lei frown, as he felt that there was something wrong with Lei Yao's condition.
It shouldn't develop into a Daoist couple, right?
If Wang Yu knew what he was thinking, he would definitely spit on it. A gentleman's friendship is as light as water. He and Lei Yao had only met a few times.
The friendship is more based on a certain appreciation.
Lei Yao admires Wang Yu, and Wang Yu admires Lei Yao.
The former is an appreciation of a certain quality of his, while the latter is an appreciation of his identity as an idealist. This is like how Wang Yu doesn't want to be a good person, but that doesn't stop him from liking good people as friends.
…………

"Brother Wang, wait a moment."
Just as Wang Yu was about to escape from the edge of the Cloud Soaring Warship's deck, he was stopped by a voice behind him, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"rest assured."
"If it really comes down to a fight, I'll hold back against that little chick, Zidian."
To everyone's surprise, Lei Yao shook her head with a laugh.
"I'm not talking about that. There's something else I need your advice on."
"oh?"
This was a bit unexpected. Wang Yu nodded after thinking for a moment and said, "No problem. After all, I'm just following Miss Lei to make a living. Let's go to the usual place?"
"good."
Viewing pavilion.
As soon as the two sat down, Lei Yao spoke.
"It concerns the Hehuan Demonic Sect."
Wang Yu understood immediately. The other party wanted to avenge a senior sister, so he regarded the Yin-Yang Demon Lord of the Hehuan Sect as his lifelong target and had inherited his senior sister's last will.
The ambition to rescue all the suffering mortals of Chiyuan and settle them in the Taihu Spirit Realm is somewhat abstract, and the idea that mortals in Chiyuan are suffering is also problematic.
This was originally intended for the Taihu leadership to brainwash the lower classes, to prevent the Red Kite from becoming too powerful. The cultivation world is built upon mortals; the larger the population, the more prosperous the cultivation world becomes.
The result was that the infamy of the Chi Yuan demon cultivators was enough to stop a child from crying. Wang Yu did not understand Lei Yao's ideals, but he respected them.
To be honest, Wang Yu also had some doubts about this matter.
Judging from its geographical location, Lei Huo Guan's territory is mainly located in the Southern Duanjie Mountains (Qiu Long Mountains), which corresponds to the area of He Huan Zong.
As a result, the cultivators of Lei Huo Guan chose to head north to attack Qi Feng Guan, opting for a detour, which was clearly unusual.
Lei Yao then gave her reasons and explained the issues for which she needed Wang Yu's advice.
"On the edge of the Southern Broken Realm Mountains, within the Black Mountain Demon Land, lies the sealed land of the ancient demon [Desire]. Many years ago, after inspections and checks by the Sword Sect's elite disciples, many hidden dangers were actually eliminated."
"However, some lingering problems remain to this day, which has turned the Black Mountain Demon Land area into a near-dead zone, where anyone who enters will have their most primal desires aroused."
This situation is quite serious.
The leakage of ancient demonic power means that the seal is no longer stable, which is obviously a hidden danger caused by the unprotected evil sacrifices that the Hehuan disciples have been performing day and night.
According to the inscription on the black stone tablet.
Wang Yu reasonably suspected that the Hehuan Demon Sect also wanted to try to help the ancient demon break the seal, thereby triggering a chain reaction and destroying the Ice Prison Realm, this cage.
Furthermore, they have connections with the Huangquan Temple.
then.
Wang Yu casually mentioned Elder Ksitigarbha, which allowed him to trick Lan Boting into revealing the restriction on his sea of consciousness, causing the latter to die a miserable death. Lan was a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Sword Sect.
He once led a Sword Sect mission to hunt down disciples of the Hehuan Sect.
If they had held back then, it would have made sense.
The Yellow Springs Temple and the Joyful Union Demon Sect joined forces, along with an inside agent planted in the Sword Sect, creating the current situation through a coordinated effort from within and without.
Even a centipede that has died does not fall down completely; it may even use the pretense of death as an opportunity to turn the light into darkness. For those people, this may not be a bad thing.
The passage through the two regions via the Southern Boundary Mountains has been blocked.
Besides opening up new paths, it must have also attracted a large number of exceptionally powerful individuals.
Even if war breaks out.
The Ancient Demon Sealing Ground is also ranked first, a major crisis that urgently needs to be resolved. It's possible that even the Nascent Soul Venerable of the Sword Sect will personally take action.
Lei Yao's so-called advisor was none other than Wang Yu, whom she consulted.
How to lure out the Yin-Yang Demon Lord under these circumstances is a tricky problem, since he doesn't know what the other party desires.
The most important thing in fishing is the bait. If you don't bait the area, how will the fish bite?
Is Heishan Pass likely to be open to traffic?
"able."
Wang Yu raised his hand, took a sip of tea, and thought for a moment before speaking.
"The timing isn't right yet. If you do manage to catch it, what are you going to do with it?"
"Therefore, I submitted a memorial to my sovereign and father, requesting that this scoundrel be executed."
"The Yin-Yang Demon Lord recently broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage. Unless the Sword Sect's Nascent Soul cultivators intervene, no one in the world can kill him."
The difference between the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul realm is understandable.
That late-stage great cultivator, having cultivated the rudimentary form of the primordial spirit and comprehended the divine powers and laws, could defeat a mid-stage peak cultivator at the sixth level of the primordial spirit realm, let alone a Nascent Soul cultivator.
It only takes a maximum of three moves; it's an absolute difference in strength!
Upon hearing this...
Lei Yao did not doubt the authenticity of Wang Yu's message. She lowered her head and remained silent for a long time before finally smiling with disappointment.
"Then forget it. I'll take revenge myself."
Wang Yu's expression was complicated, and he didn't say anything.
There's no way he'd accompany him. No amount of reward would be worth making an enemy of a Grand Cultivator, especially since he already has troubles involving a Grand Cultivator himself.
It's inappropriate to stir up trouble again.
After seeing Lei Yao off, Wang Yu returned to the temporary cave dwelling that Yang Lei Zhenjun had arranged for him. It was a large magical artifact in the shape of a palace.
Once unfolded using the "Size-as-you-please" method, it is large enough to accommodate thousands of cultivators for temporary residence. As a Nascent Soul Ancestor, Wang Yu naturally has the right to use a palace-like magical treasure all by himself.
Privacy is acceptable, but we can add a few more layers of array flags and formations.
It's not a big problem.
Having just experienced a major battle, Wang Yu needed to rest and recover, and at the same time, he also needed to spend time preparing the Nascent Souls of Qingyi and Yunyan.
If his alchemy skills weren't only at the third-level perfection stage, he might have been able to try the legendary "Nascent Soul Pill"!
This pill is made primarily from a cultivator's nascent soul, along with a large number of rare and precious herbs. Once formed, it resembles the legendary ginseng fruit.
There are three types of Nascent Soul Elixir, each with a different formula.
The Nascent Soul Longevity Pill, one pill can add a hundred years to one's life.
The Nascent Soul Heavenly Law Pill, one pill can increase one's demonic energy by a hundred years.
The Nascent Soul Innate Pill can reshape the physical body, turning the impossible into possible, reviving the dead and restoring flesh and bones. Even if only a bone fragment remains, it can fully restore the body, making it an unparalleled life-saving technique.
These three pill formulas are harmful to people and extremely prone to causing bloodshed. They were destroyed many years ago and are now only possessed by the Refining Heaven Demon Sect.
The Longevity Pill can only be taken once, yet it is a top-tier treasure coveted by countless old demons.
In fact, Wang Yu was able to extend the Human Alchemy Technique to the fourth level.
Once you find the three lower-tier alternatives to their respective third-tier formulas, you can deduce them, but it's a bit time-consuming since you always have not enough slots.
There's no rush in this regard; you can't rush it anyway.
Wang Yu will not touch their nascent souls for a short time. This situation will prevent the Glazed Ice Heart Tower from exerting its full power, since suppressing nascent souls also requires power.
He happens to be Wang Manzi, the Demon Slayer Vanguard.
Body refinement cultivation and the Demonic Dragon Armor are sufficient to handle most situations.
In the meditation room.
Wang Yu sat cross-legged on a futon, with two top-grade storage rings floating in front of him. He took out the treasures inside one by one and then sorted and stored them into his own Sea Heart Ring.
I am in a very pleasant mood.
The value of a Nascent Soul cultivator's wealth is something those in the know understand.
They acquired forty new top-grade spirit stones alone, which is a considerable number, not to mention the many magical treasures and spiritual materials they obtained.
First update.
The second update will be tonight.
