“Ahem…”

“It hurts so much.”

The sword light and mist pushed out horizontally like the crest of a wave.

At the tip of the tide, colorful lights kept splashing, and then dissipated and turned into broken fragments of magic weapons.

Wine jugs, teapots, alchemy tripods, alchemy furnaces, gourds, barrels... they were all shattered and flying around at a rapid speed, and screams were heard.

Seeing the sword light chasing him from behind, Shen Lian dived into the ground with a whoosh, but the sword energy followed him like a shadow and kept stabbing his butt.

"Ouch."

“Crack!”

After running for more than 150 miles, Shen Lian finally stopped.

The green gourd covering his body cracked, and he rubbed his buttocks with both hands.

I had to feel every part of my body up and down, but I only had two hands, and my whole body was in pain and I couldn't feel anywhere.

At this moment, Shen Lian's whole body was glowing with blood. Upon careful sensing, one could see sword holes piercing through his flesh and blood. If it weren't for the magic weapon blocking him from outside and the support of his late third-stage physique, he would have been torn into pieces.

The old monster Zi Yang strangled me hard.

“Hiss.”

“Hoo-hoo.”

After the physical body of the physical cultivator was promoted to the late third stage, the condensed physical energy circulated throughout the body, repairing the small holes pierced by the sword energy.

However, the sharp sword energy contained in these small holes blocked his ability to repair his body, and he could only repair a small part at a time.

Seeing this, Shen Lian mobilized the Five Elements magic power and began to wash his whole body. Under the dual suppression of physical cultivation essence and the Five Elements magic power, the sharpness of the sword energy in the small holes in his body was finally suppressed initially.

Only at this moment did he have time to investigate the scene outside.

It was seen that in the area where the battle had taken place before, all the mountains, lakes, plants and living things within a radius of more than 200 miles had disappeared, and in their place was a sunken desert basin.

Within the basin, sword energy intertwined, and sword lights continuously exploded like electric arcs, stirring up the sand that had already been crushed into powder.

The lake that was there before is long gone.

In the center of the basin, several brilliant spiritual lights were floating up and down, surrounded by wisps of sword energy.

"Is he dead?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Shen Lian was a little unsure.

This is the Nascent Soul after all.

Even though the soul smoke appeared, he couldn't be sure whether it was Zi Yang's trick.

After all, Zi Yang has rich experience in escaping.

Through this fight, he was able to confirm that his magic power was comparable to that of the worst Nascent Soul, which meant that the quality of his magic power had already entered the fourth level.

But if you really want to fight with a Nascent Soul, it is still very dangerous.

In a flash, the secondary soul came from afar, transformed into a stream of light and rushed towards the center of the basin.

The secondary soul had not appeared before. Shen Lian deliberately placed it outside in order to have a backup plan.

Although this is a desolate area and it is unlikely that there will be any Nascent Soul cultivators appearing here, or even no Golden Core cultivators at the Great Perfection stage, he felt that it was nothing to be on guard.

At this moment, the remaining sword energy here can still seriously injure a late Jindan cultivator.

The secondary soul swayed left and right, and with the protection of the magic weapon, it avoided the surging sword energy and flew to the center of the basin.

There are several spiritual objects floating here.

A ball of dim, seven-colored spiritual fire, a small sword with restrained green sword energy, a translucent cloud of sword energy with many sword holes pierced in it, and a black umbrella-capped mushroom covered with cracks.

These things are all fourth-level spiritual objects. Shen Lian has personally tried each one of them and the results are quite good.

It has to be said that even though he had become a crippled baby, old man Ziyang still had so many treasures on him, not to mention how many he had hidden privately.

The deputy soul collected the four spiritual objects with a wave of his hand, then turned into a stream of light and began to flee.

On the other side, Shen Lian was also busy spreading black-horned ants all around.

Although the level of immortal cultivation in the Wilderness is not high, there are also Jindan Zhenren, not to mention that it can also contact the South China Sea.

With such a big commotion, someone will definitely come to investigate.

Of course, if the Jindan cultivators from the Wilderness came to investigate, Shen Lian would not be afraid. The sword energy that appeared after Zi Yang's soul smoke disappeared swept in all directions and annihilated most of the five elements' aura, so there was not much remaining aura.

He was mainly on guard against the monks in the Exiled Immortal Tower.

Although the wilderness is remote and located at the southernmost tip of the immortal cultivation world, what if there are cultivators from the Exiled Immortal Tower?

It is necessary to keep some tricks.

Moreover, if there really are cultivators from the Exiled Immortal Tower here, keeping some tricks up our sleeves may not be enough.

So, he kept several tricks up his sleeve.

The surrounding mountains and forests were filled with black-horned queen ants, and Shen Lian ran away with his secondary soul.

When the secondary soul took down the four floating spiritual objects, he judged that Zi Yang's soul smoke really disappeared.

After all, even his innate true fire had lost its control aura, and only when Zi Yang completely disappeared could such a result occur.

…

"Hurry up and report to the ancestor of the sect!"

Just as Shen Lian thought, when he released the base of the Five Elements Formation, the sound had already spread across the mountains and fields for hundreds of miles. Several cultivators nearby thought that there was some great opportunity.

But before they even got close, the smell that rushed over was enough to scare them to death.

This area is located on the border between the Chu State and the Yue State. Originally, the desolate area is vast and sparsely populated, and in many places there is wilderness outside of towns. However, in recent decades, the continuous wars between the Jindan sects of the Chu State and the Yue State have led to an increase in the number of cultivators traveling between the two countries.

Several decades ago, there were three major sects in the State of Chu, namely the Bishui Sect, the Tianyang Sect, and the Youhuang Valley Sect. However, due to the uneven distribution of the spoils after discovering relics in the wilderness, conflicts arose.

Therefore, the Tianyang Sect invited the Yuanying Patriarch of the Yunshang Sect to come, which caused the three sects to completely break up. (Chapter 63) After the Yuanying of the Yunshang Sect left, the Tianyang Sect was surrounded and attacked by the Bishui and Youhuang Sects. When it was about to be destroyed, the nearby Yue Kingdom Xiunv Sect stepped in and saved the Tianyang Sect from being besieged.

The Tianyang Sect, with one third of the prefectures and counties, broke away from the State of Chu and merged into the State of Yue.

Since then, the war between the two immortal cultivation kingdoms has never stopped.

The shockwaves of the fight that occurred at the border between the two countries soon spread to the Jindan sects of the two countries, and cultivators came to investigate.

The first ones to come were the Foundation Establishment cultivators, but when they looked at the basin-like desert with a radius of more than 200 miles and the sword light that splashed out from time to time, they were so scared that they directly sent a message to the sect's Golden Core Patriarch.

After Jindan arrived, he felt the sword light bursting out in the basin desert, as if it was cutting his own flesh, and he was so scared that his face turned green.

The remaining external aura made them feel terrified, so here...

There were Nascent Soul cultivators fighting! It was so terrifying that with a wave of his hand, the seas and fields turned into deserts.

After several monks returned to their sects trembling with fear, the sudden outbreak of a battlefield at the Nascent Soul level made the major sects become anxious and worried.

…

Shen Lian, who was escaping far away, went into a vast mountain forest, took out a set of the Ga Ying combination formation he had prepared before, set it up, and began to repair his injuries.

Inside the cave, he took the third-grade Pu Yu Dan that he had prepared in advance.

The aura in his body surged, and streams of blood-red physical energy poured out from the sword hole, and began to assist the five elements of magic power to dissipate the translucent bluish sword energy.

A 'sizzling' sound came from inside his body, causing Shen Lian to grimace in pain.

But when he thought that the quality of his five elements magic power had already begun to rival that of a Golden Infant monk, he didn't feel that much pain.

They are just some small holes, just fix them.

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

Shen Lian's whole body was filled with magical power, and after a moment he retracted his skills.

"I have recovered from most of my injuries, but it will take years to get back to my peak."

As he opened and closed his eyes, he felt the dull pain in his body.

After gathering his thoughts, Shen Lian entered the Five Elements Ship Cave in a flash of his mind.

In the cave, there were four fourth-level spiritual objects left behind by the old monster Zi Yang floating.

In order to guard against the counterattack of old monster Zi Yang, he didn't even do the final soul search.

Even so, he suffered the final blow from Zi Yang before his death.

Under the circumstances at that time, anyone who got a little closer would be wiped out by the sword energy.

Being cautious has its advantages, but it also has its disadvantages, which is that there is no subsequent method of cultivation for the Tiandu Yanshen method that one has practiced.

"No venture, no gain."

After whispering these words, Shen Lian shook his head.

This is true, but he already has his own treasure trove, so let alone a tiger cub, even a tigress would not be very attractive.

Looking at the four spiritual objects in front of him, the transparent sword energy is a rare treasure, and the green small sword should be a fourth-level spiritual treasure.

Black mushrooms...

Shen Lian took a closer look and found some clues. This should be a spiritual plant, but it was refined into a defensive magic weapon using secret methods.

This method of refining rituals is not bad, but it is still inferior to his Tiangang Disha 108-layer molting gourd trick.

Finally, there is Zi Yang’s innate spiritual fire. The seemingly scorching breath contains a hint of chill.

But this wisp of cold air was vague and it was obvious that it had not been fully refined yet.

It seems that Zi Yang wants to practice the same as Qian Dai and cultivate both the hot and cold attributes.

After checking the goods, Shen Lian sighed. These things were not bad and would be of great use to him.

But he always felt that something was missing.

What about other resources? Did Zi Yang not carry any with him?

"No, it should be on my body."

After thinking it over again and again, Shen Lian made some judgments.

Over the years, although Zi Yang never elaborated on how to transform an artifact into a spirit, his words revealed that he had been preparing for this for many years and had robbed many spiritual objects.

Since they are preparing to transform into spirit weapons, and are now looking for the Five Elements magical weapons, there is a high possibility that they will carry the stolen treasures with them.

As soon as he thought of this, Shen Lian's mind fell on the four spiritual objects in front of him, and he first eliminated the emerald sword and the sword mist.

The black umbrella-capped mushroom and the innate seven-colored spiritual fire were constantly enveloped and washed by Shen Lian's divine thoughts.

Not long after, a tiny wave burst out from the colorful spiritual fire, and a crystal stone the size of a grain of rice precipitated out.

This crystal is tri-colored and has dozens of facets.

This is also a cave stone, but it is of a higher grade. The grains of cave stones that Shen Lian had dug out before were the lowest grade of space spiritual objects.

Zi Yang's is high-end.

When this item came out, Shen Lian felt that it was extraordinary. As expected of Zi Yang, he also carried a small cave with him.

Shen Lian held the tri-colored cave stone in front of him. He attached his spiritual thoughts to it and was immediately immersed in a gorgeous rune.

The edges of the surface of the cave stone are intertwined with dense nodes, each of which is shining with spiritual light and exudes a breath of destruction.

If the seal is forcibly broken, the nodes on dozens of edges on the surface of the Cave Stone will explode.

Not to mention whether the spiritual objects in the cave stone will disappear in the broken space, the person who opens it may also suffer.

This is a space-shattering bomb. Once it explodes, the surrounding space will inevitably be impacted. If there is a space collapse within a few miles, Shen Lian may be swept into it.

"It still has to be you, Fellow Daoist Ziyang."

Carefully pushing the three-colored cave stone in the air in front of him, Shen Lian chuckled.

But for him, Zi Yang still underestimated him.

He is a male cultivator who understands formations and talismans, and can draw talismans to break the ban.

When he was still at the Qi training stage, he had drawn a talisman to break the ban and broke into the storage ring of the old demon Lian Zhen.

In his opinion, what Zi Yang did was still too bad. If it were him, his tricks would be much more secretive than this.

For example, if you draw a talisman array that reflects the fluctuations of divine thoughts, it will explode as soon as the divine thoughts sweep across it.

For example, if you draw a gravity symbol at the entrance, if the force exceeds a certain point, a hole will appear and people will be destroyed and killed.

After placing the three-colored cave stone, he used the talisman array to stabilize the surrounding void.

Shen Lian took out the talisman-making table, spiritual ink, and talisman paper and began to draw the talisman to break the ban.

…

“Buzz!”

With the help of the ban-breaking talisman, Shen Lian carefully dissolved the restrictions on the cave stone bit by bit.

Zi Yang used a fourth-level talisman when he sealed the place. This is a third-level, mid-grade talisman that can break the ban. Although it has great power, its grade is a bit low, so the effect is also a bit worse.

But Shen Lian was not in a hurry and just wore down the restriction bit by bit.

Anyway, it will take another year to recover to his peak condition, so he might as well rest for a few days and then practice the Ban-Breaking Talisman for a while.

Finally, when there was only zero year left in the year, the restrictions on the three-colored cave stone were completely worn away.

"call!"

Looking at the cave stone emitting three brilliant lights, Shen Lian carefully released his divine consciousness.

He was also afraid that Zi Yang had other tricks up his sleeve.

Fortunately, after some sensing, there were no gravity talismans or other formations in the cave.

There aren’t many spiritual objects inside, really not many.

There are only more than twenty kinds, but each one is priceless.

After sensing things clearly, Shen Lian was stunned.

He felt that he still had to burn some incense for Zi Yang.

Otherwise, you will feel uneasy.

A dignified Yuanying cannot endure such a great injustice.

Even if this grievance was caused by him.

It’s really because Zi Yang has given me too much, and I would feel uneasy if I didn’t burn incense.

Level four, level four, level four!

Fourth-level sunflower water elixir!

Fourth-level Nanming spiritual fire!

The fourth-level Hou Tu Qian Ling Wood! The fourth-level Wan Wen Qing Kong Wood! The fourth-level Liuli Jinshi!

…

Burn incense to fellow Taoist Zi Yang!

In addition to the complete five elements spiritual objects, there is also a pile of five-colored high-quality spiritual stones and three ancient scrolls.

The Record of the True Development of the Acquired Spiritual Treasure! The Divine Method of Tiandu Development.

Five Elements Heavenly Treasure Scripture! Three incense offerings to fellow Taoist Ziyang!

Bow again.
