“Hehe…”

On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, a strange cry was heard quietly on the continent where the Xuanyou clan lived.

Xuan Hao, the newly promoted god of the Xuanyou clan, suffered serious injuries when he was undergoing the god-transforming tribulation. The gifts from heaven and earth he received did not fully heal his injuries.

After going through the divine transformation tribulation, he has been staying in his old nest to consolidate his realm.

So much so that hundreds of millions of Xuanyou clan cultivators didn’t even know that their ancestor was gone.

It is very difficult to make a Divine Transformation cultivator come up with the idea of ​​taking over another's body. This requires the right time, right place, and right people. As a result, Shen Lian had to resort to some shady tricks and get the person out of Xuanyou Continent first.

First this, then that, and finally this, and it's done.

The Xuanyou clan dominates the entire cultivation world. There are more than billions of people in the clan, who live and reproduce in the form of tribes. However, most of them are low-level creatures, so how could they know that their hometown has been stolen.

…

Deep in the vast void, there is a broken land area, and the thunder energy in the void has not completely dissipated.

In both directions of this land, the Avatar of Merit and Kākā were patrolling the surroundings, guarding against possible incidents.

Deep in a large pit in the middle of the land, Shen Lian was sitting cross-legged naked.

This time God was a bit too much. He struck all his clothes off.

Within the Sea of ​​Soul, a ball of pure soul energy was suspended. The soul of the newly-transformed god was not good enough and was only half the size of the previous Corpse Abyss.

At best, after refining it, it can only increase Shen Lian's spiritual power by about two thousand miles.

"Two thousand miles is a lot. Am I drifting?"

Shen Lian slapped his forehead. He still didn't have the thunder mark that belonged to the monk who possessed another's body.

Less has its advantages. It is easier to refine. We should still express a little gratitude to the cultivators who have sacrificed their souls.

By digging out the memories of the corpse owner Xuan Hao Lingzun, Shen Lian’s previous guess was confirmed that Xuan Hao Lingzun really had no friends.

After the death of the previous generation of Spirit Master, the Xuanyou Clan has not had an easy time in the past few hundred years. Xuan Hao is the savior of the clan, but he was not considered very talented in the clan before.

After being promoted to the God Transformation level this time, before he had the chance to make friends at the God Transformation level, he was fortunately chosen by Shen Lian and gloriously offered his soul.

It is very normal for a Jindan cultivator to seclude himself for three or four hundred years for other cultivators.

This time Shen Lian was well prepared. When he took Xuan Hao away, he also collected the soul lamp he left behind.

This time Xuan Hao’s death will not be exposed in a short period of time. By the time the Xuanyou clan finds out about the problem, it will probably be too late.

If you have no close friends or relatives, you don’t need to pay extra money.

If you don't have any strong relatives, you won't get any attention if you die.

All in all, a worthy death.

The Xuanyou clan members are indigo all over, with water wave runes on the surface of their skin, and they also exude a hint of coldness.

Most of the cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation pursue the five elements, but there are also some cultivators, like the Xuanyou clan, who are naturally close to a certain kind of Taoism. Combined with the specificity of their own clan, they have also embarked on a unique path of cultivation.

A cultivator who has advanced through this kind of practice is sometimes no worse than a cultivator who has completed the five elements.

Xuan Hao's body is intact, and Shen Lian is preparing to collect it. Maybe he can use it in the future. He also wants to use the identity of this body to do things.

The Yunxiao Realm is in such a mess. It's so cold in this cold weather, so it's really necessary to add an extra vest for yourself.

…

"Master, there is a new situation."

One year later, in the territory of a small Jindan sect in the nearby immortal cultivation world.

Shen Lian, who had moved to a new cave, was preparing to refine his spoils when Dahei came with a message.

"Master, there is something strange about the four divine towers on the ferry continent. Many pieces of our Sky-Repairing Order have exploded."

…

Yue Ling Xiu Xian World.

A stone tower thousands of feet high stood, with four stone statues of holy monkeys on it looking indifferently in all directions.

And below the stone tower, a long team like a dragon was winding its way, and these people were moving towards the stone tower.

There are both men and women in the team, all of them are young cultivators at the Qi training level, and they are from all races.

There was no crying or making a fuss here. Everyone lined up in an orderly manner with a slightly dazed look on their faces and slowly entered the stone tower.

In the distance, there was a hazy giant ship floating, with dense figures constantly cast from it.

In the void, there were Jindan and Yuanying cultivators coming and going. After taking a slightly indifferent look at the team below, they quickly rushed into the stone tower.

In a space inside the stone tower.

“Boom!”

The brilliant colorful light exploded like a volcanic eruption, and the sweeping energy gushed outward like a huge wave.

But then, bloody light poured down from all over the space like a waterfall, and began to engulf the exploding energies.

There are densely packed tentacle-like runes in the blood-stained light, which constantly absorb onto the colorful light, thereby weakening the energy fluctuations caused by the explosion.

Above the space, a group of sticky figures that were constantly dripping with rotting liquid beads were suspended, with more than a dozen narrow eyes revealed on it, looking at the explosive energy that was imprisoned by the ban.

"Damn it, could this token have the power to reach the sky?"

A dull sound came from the body of the figure, followed by a crackling sound in the space, and a spider made of white bones crawled out.

"Failed again?"

The bone spider's fanged mouth opened and closed, making a harsh sound.

"This token cannot be read by a Spiritual Transformation cultivator. Once the cultivator who has recognized the master is separated from the token, it will explode. The person behind the scenes is truly sinister and ruthless."

The white bone spider looked into the distance with gloomy eyes. In the distance of this space, there were more than a dozen figures imprisoned. Nine Jindan and three Yuanying, all of them had tokens on them.

Originally there were more than thirty people in this group, but unfortunately many of them were killed in the explosion.

They tried various methods including but not limited to "sealing with formations to cut off the connection between the cultivators and the tokens, directly enslaving the token holders, and having their Nascent Soul cultivators take action", but unfortunately none of them worked.

This token can explode at any time and anywhere, it won't do anything to you.

Your conspiracy hasn't even started yet, but boom! it explodes.

Be careful, boom! It exploded again.

The energy turbulence in space was a little bigger, and it exploded with a "boom".

The main thing is that if you feel something is wrong, you will explode.

This is a fifth-rank spiritual treasure, it's so damn evil.

Could it be that there is a 'little man' living in each token? It can be said that the possibility of outsiders spying on it is blocked from almost every direction.

More foul-smelling black water dripped from the surging mass above the space, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked up and down.

"White Spider, do you have any other ideas?"

The white-bone spider scratched its head. It had tried all the methods it could use. The person behind the exchange force was so rich and inhumane that he could just throw away a fifth-level spiritual treasure. Who could tolerate this?

Looking at the Yunxiao Realm throughout the ages, there has never been anyone so rich.

The power of the rich man simply exceeded the power of rules, and he beat the two of them so hard that they had no temper at all.

The Sea Lord also asked the two of them to find out the exchange power as soon as possible, but they still have no clue.

This made the two monks, White Bone Spider and Multi-Eyed, go crazy. If you have the guts, come out and fight me in a one-on-one fight.

What's the point of hiding your head and showing your tail like this?

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

At this time, another roar was heard, causing ripples in the space.

The Bone Spider and Multi-Eyes looked indifferent, having sensed the possibility of this situation a long time ago.

Many monks who entered the Blood Soul Tower carried the Heaven-Repairing Order. Their original intention was to use the Blood Soul Tower to infiltrate the token.

But the result is obvious, people will bomb you all the time.

Using a fifth-level spiritual treasure as a firecracker will give anyone who encounters this firecracker a headache.

The continuous self-detonation of tokens also caused some trouble, which made many cultivators back down. The opportunities in the Blood Soul Tower were not small, but the opportunities could be obtained by exchanging tokens.

Not to mention the Golden Core and Nascent Soul, even the Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation cultivators have brains. After exchanging tokens to enter the Blood Soul Tower, they would self-destruct for no reason. This is obviously a conflict between the two families.

Who to choose?

Originally, after the ferry killed off a batch of old Yuanying last time, a new batch grew up quickly under the cultivation of the exchange forces.

This is also the reason for using the Blood Soul Tower. Zang Hai is going to see what plans the exchange forces have for these newly trained Nascent Soul cultivators.

Didn't you speed up the advancement of Nascent Soul cultivators? Then I will start the harvest in advance and see if you will have any new moves.

If you are indifferent, that's the best. You will be the new generation of strategic partner of Zanghai.

One is responsible for forcing the growth of leeks.

One is responsible for wielding the sickle to harvest.

It's a win-win situation.

To this end, they also arranged for the viper demon king on the Donghuang Continent to appear and give his testimony.

If the Viper King successfully advances to the divine realm, the attraction effect will increase exponentially.

To advance to the stage of godhood, one needs to go through the test of heaven and earth. The Viper they launched has only a 60% chance of success. The success or failure depends on the luck of the Viper. Anyway, apart from not being able to get through to heaven, the rest of the Burial Sea has been prepared for the Viper.

But the problem is that the exchange forces are hidden too deeply.

Hundreds of years have passed until now, and apart from knowing that there are two indigenous gods on the Dragon Horn Continent, no one knows the rest.

The most infuriating thing is that those two indigenous gods disappeared.

I still can’t find it.

Normally, a big force has a headquarters. For example, Zanghai occupies the core eighteen continents and has countless cultivators in each continent as peripheral forces.

The Exiled Immortal Tower is located high up in the third heaven, relying on a sixth-rank spiritual treasure as its foundation.

The Ascension Tower also relies on the sixth-order spiritual treasure.

So, where is the behind-the-scenes place for exchanging forces? Even if it is a sixth-level spiritual treasure, it must exist.

Where is it? "The person behind the scenes is so cautious, I'm afraid he won't come."

After a long time, hearing the roar, the white bone spider spoke softly.

"Let's wait and see. Viper is about to advance to the God Transformation Stage. If successful, it will still attract a group of younger generations to come. After all, no Nascent Soul can resist the temptation of advancing to the God Transformation Stage."

Duoyan spoke, but there was not much confidence in his tone. The exchange force was too harsh.

This allows the monks who have the redemption token to make a choice.

"I wonder what's going on at the Five Elements Palace."

…

Yunjing Xiuxian world.

Colorful auspicious clouds are flying, and a majestic fairy palace is floating above the sky. Looking from afar, this fairy palace hidden in the auspicious clouds, the only part that is exposed is comparable to a fairyland.

Because of the emergence of the Immortal Palace, the Yunjing Immortal Cultivation World attracted cultivators from all directions, so that disputes increased day by day.

In a remote corner of the continent, in an inconspicuous Jindan sect's ancestral hall, it was already filled with restrictions.

Inside the restriction, there is a vast space.

Di Zheng, the second owner of the Exiled Immortal Tower, was also among them, but she was holding her breath and concentrating, and her breathing was very light.

The main thing was that there was a pitch-black puddle a hundred miles away from her, in which lay a monk who looked like a giant salamander, emitting a foul odor.

In another direction, there was a large bird that looked like a pheasant, lying there quietly, and the void around it seemed a little distorted.

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Di, do you think the monks who are exchanging forces will show up this time?"

The monk who looked like a giant salamander let out a strange laugh and looked at Di Zheng. The more Di Zheng saw how miserable it felt, the happier it felt.

What's wrong with it? It smells good, right?

"have no idea."

Di Zheng frowned, not hiding her disgust for the giant salamander. These people who were burying people in the sea were too smelly, the kind of stench that could be sensed directly into the depths of one's soul.

"Hey, friend Di, does your nose hurt?"

The giant salamander blew a bubble in the black water, turned its head to look at the pheasant beside it, and received two big white eyes.

"Friend Di, the exchange force behind the Five Elements Immortal Palace threw out so many tokens last time, and also let them sweep away most of the fifth-level spiritual medicines that fell in the Immortal Palace. This shows that the person behind the scenes also lacks fifth-level spiritual medicines."

Pheasant said in a deep voice, "So I think the monks from the exchange force are likely to come back to distribute the tokens."

Di Zheng nodded. She actually didn’t think that the cultivators from the exchange forces would show up.

This time she came only by invitation, and the real decision makers were the two monks from the Burial Sea force, who were eager to find out the origins of the exchange force.

"Hehe, as long as they dare to show up, this emperor will never let them get away."

The two dragon whiskers at the corners of the giant salamander's mouth made a creaking sound, and its tone exuded indifference.

In order to find out the origin and behind-the-scenes of the exchange force this time, they arranged two directions. The four Blood Soul Towers that ferry the continent are one, and the other is to wait and see here in the Five Elements Immortal Palace.

As long as any monks from the exchange forces show up in these two directions, they can directly suppress them and then dig deeper.

Why didn’t they do it hundreds of years ago?

Alas, who would have known hundreds of years ago that this exchange force could be so powerful, shortening the time interval between the training of late Nascent Soul and Great Perfection cultivators.

This is very important for Zanghai.

To bury the sea, one needs to transform into a god, and to transform into a god, one needs to have enough Nascent Souls.

The exchange forces have initially demonstrated their ability to accumulate the number of Nascent Soul cultivators.

What's more important is that this exchange force seems to be somewhat at odds with Zanghai. Blocking someone's path to immortality is like killing their parents, so Zanghai needs to respond.

As long as the monks from the exchange force dare to show up, they must be captured this time. Zang Hai has made many backup plans for this.

…

"Master, they want to catch you in a trap... wait and see... dig a hole for the great master to fall into."

Dahei lay flatteringly in front of Shen Lian, shouting that he was lucky for his extensive knowledge, as he almost died young because of saying the wrong thing.

"You're the only one who can speak?"

Shen Lian pinched Dahei's insect horn and said, "Go to work quickly."

It cannot be said that the entire Yunxiao Realm was eavesdropped by him, but at least half of the Jindan and Yuanying cultivators and above were eavesdropped by him.

Combining all this information, how could Shen Lian not know that someone wanted to get him?

As for why only half of the Jindan and Yuanying cultivators were eavesdropped on, is it because the remaining half didn’t work hard?

No, this is not the fault of fellow Taoists.

It’s because Master Shen didn’t work hard.

The tokens he refined could not supply...

Throwing the jade slip aside, Shen Lian closed his eyes and muttered something.

"What level? I'll go if you ask me to."

"No."
