The three Jindan cultivators were each responsible for an area and quickly completed the search of the giant tree and the surrounding mountains.

The four-armed demon ape was still in a very primitive tribal state, and didn't even have a real magic weapon. However, inside the mountain there was a huge magic formation that covered the entire mountain.

Yun Lingyue recorded the magic array through the spirit mirror on the helmet and stored it in the magic array center of the divine machine. He only had to wait until he returned to the sect to upload it to the Skynet and apply for the sect's magic array master to identify it.

There was nothing special to discover. Yun Lingyue and the other two set up a flame formation and left behind three Six Yang Flame Bombs.

When they left the mountain, the flame formation gathered flames and burned, detonating the Six Yang Flame Bomb.

Crimson flames gushed out from the cave entrance on the top of the mountain all the way to a height of thousands of feet. The high temperature not only burned all the corpses to ashes, but also completely destroyed the giant tree.

The mountain belly cannot conduct high temperatures, and the extremely short-term high temperature will destroy the internal structure of the mountain. Within a year or so, the mountain will naturally collapse from the inside.

Yun Lingyue scanned the surrounding area again through the spirit mirror and found nothing missing, so she led the team back to Jiuzhou.

The spirit mirror will record the travel path by itself, taking the star power of the twenty-eight constellations in the nine heavens as the base point, and comparing the spatial position through the three-dimensional star power to ensure that the recorded direction error does not exceed centimeters.

If it is within Jiuzhou, the recorded spatial position error can be within microns through Skynet comparison.

As the sect's direct descendant of the Golden Core, Yun Lingyue naturally understood the significance of such precise spatial division.

If this battle took place within Jiuzhou, they could use Skynet to guide spells and magic weapons from thousands of miles away and easily destroy this group of demon apes.

They can also be guided by Skynet and quickly transmitted back to Qingyun Sect.

Now, although she has the teleportation talisman in her hand, she is reluctant to use it.

The teleportation talismans used outside of Jiuzhou were of extremely high rank. Even though she was a golden elixir, she couldn't afford to use them. She would not use the teleportation talismans unless her life was at stake.

Among the three, Ren Zhengxuan is a pure-blooded celestial being with outstanding talent. He is highly valued by the family and has the richest wealth.

Even so, Ren Zhengxuan was reluctant to use the teleportation talisman.

The concentration of spiritual energy is getting lower and lower nowadays. It is difficult for a Jindan level person to fly for a long time. It is unknown how many spiritual stones will be consumed to establish a long-distance connection with the Jiuzhou Transmission Array.

As for Ren Tongyuan, he couldn't even gather all the resources needed for his cultivation, let alone the money to use the teleportation talisman.

The three of them flew for half a day and rested for half a day. It took them almost ten days to get back to Pegasus City.

After entering the territory of Jiuzhou, the three of them connected to Skynet. Through their own Qingyun Orders, they were able to connect to the sect's formation and be directly teleported to the Qingyun Sect.

Yun Lingyue took the two of them to the White Tiger Palace. They both belonged to the Tianyu Hall of the White Tiger Palace.

When going out on a mission, they need to report back and submit the spiritual mirror records, including the combat records of several people. These will be archived by the sect.

Ren Tongyuan made some deletions and modifications to the records in the spirit mirror, and the battle record he submitted also omitted the matter of the mysterious wood carving.

He was not too worried about this. Generally speaking, Tianyu Hall would not conduct lie detector tests on combatants unless they found special circumstances.

After returning from Tianyu Hall, Ren Tongyuan refused Ren Zhengxuan's invitation to drink. He felt sick at the way Ren Zhengxuan tried to please Yun Lingyue.

Returning to his residence in the west city of Qingyun City, Ren Tongyuan stood on the balcony on the 49th floor and looked at Shenxiao Peak from afar.

The distance was hundreds of miles away, but standing on the balcony one could clearly see the lights on Shenxiao Peak. The whole mountain looked even more majestic and steep under the lights.

Ren Tongyuan sighed softly. The view from the balcony was indeed good. That was why the monthly rent was five thousand star coins.

Star Coin is the currency issued by Jiuzhou. There is a Pojun Star printed on the front of the Star Coin, hence the name Star Coin.

As Skynet spread across all nine continents, star coins could even circulate on Skynet, gradually replacing the original gold-copper mixed coins.

From this aspect alone, Jiuzhou saved a lot of gold and copper, and also eliminated all counterfeit coins.

The official price was originally set at one hundred star coins for one low-grade spirit stone. As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth continued to dissipate, the price of spirit stones also rose rapidly.

Fortunately, this is Qingyun City, with a huge magic array to maintain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Although the spiritual energy level has been reduced, at least it can still maintain an extremely stable state, which is very suitable for cultivators.

If one can live in a sect, the spiritual energy level can be raised by two levels. The purified spiritual energy is as smooth as water and pure and spiritual.

For a Jindan cultivator like him, the cultivation efficiency between Qingyun City and the sect is at least 20% lower.

One or two days is nothing, but when accumulated over ten or a hundred years, a 20% gap becomes an unbridgeable chasm.

Just like Yun Lingyue, is her aptitude better than his? Not necessarily! The reason why Yun Lingyue is much stronger than him is because she is a human and a direct descendant of the Yun family. She was born in the Qingyun Sect, and her starting point is a high point that he cannot reach now! A large number of Six Paths geniuses gathered in Jiuzhou to receive training from the sect. However, cultivators born in the Six Paths are naturally inferior to the human race. Compared with these direct descendants of the sect, they are much lower.

Ren Tongyuan tried his best to refine the golden elixir, but he could only help Yun Lingyue in the sect! The sect is unfair! The God is unfair! Jiuzhou is unfair!

"Jiuzhou like this should be overthrown..." Ren Tongyuan became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. Somehow, this thought popped up in his mind.

He immediately realized, how dare he think like that!

The thought scared even him!

Ren Tongyuan wanted to suppress this thought, but his anger grew stronger and stronger, and all kinds of crazy thoughts kept popping up in his mind.

"Thousands of years ago, Gao Xian was just a small casual cultivator. I am a celestial being with opened eyes, and I can also go against the will of heaven!"

"If the heaven is unfair, turn it upside down. If the earth is unfair, turn it upside down. If the wise are unfair, kill them and sacrifice them to the gods!"

"If we kill Gao Xian, we can occupy Jiuzhou! My Celestial Clan should be the masters of this world..."

The more Ren Tongyuan thought about it, the more excited he became. Veins popped out on his temples and his eyes were filled with madness, violence and murderous intent.

It took a long time before Ren Tongyuan managed to calm down.

He did not give up these ideas, but he understood that he had to eat one bite at a time. He was just a small golden elixir now, and it was a daydream to kill Gao Xian and occupy Jiuzhou.

Ren Tongyuan took out the mysterious wooden sculpture from his storage belt, hoping that it would be of some use.

Entering the quiet room, Ren Tongyuan isolated himself from the Skynet and sealed the Qingyun Order to avoid leaking his secrets.

By guiding the inhalation and exhalation of spiritual energy through the Great Five Elements Hunyuan Method, the mysterious wood sculpture began to emit a little spiritual light under the stimulation of magic power, and created a certain resonance with Ren Tongyuan.

After one round of breathing exercises, Ren Tongyuan unknowingly entered the state of emptiness and clarity. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was already daybreak outside.

This time of breathing exercise lasted for eight hours.

Ren Tongyuan clearly felt that his cultivation had improved significantly. This was not because his mana had improved much, but because his mana had become much more refined.

The same magic power was running smoothly, but it was somewhat sluggish to control before. Today it seems to be very easy to control and is unusually smooth.

He used the Qingyun Order to connect to Skynet and spent five thousand star coins to open the Sky Mirror to illuminate his body and soul from the inside out.

A foundation-building practitioner can concentrate his spiritual awareness at the center of his eyebrows to observe his body and soul.

At the Jindan level, observing one's own body and spirit is a basic ability for a cultivator. However, this kind of observation has great limitations.

Skynet's Sky Mirror can clearly illuminate both inside and outside, and see all the subtle changes in one's own form and spirit.

The Heavenly Mirror can also quantify each level of spiritual consciousness, magic power, and physical body, and make a very precise assessment.

At this moment, the Heavenly Mirror showed that his spiritual awareness had reached 3,117 degrees, which was a quantitative measurement of spiritual awareness, based on the spiritual awareness of ordinary cultivators.

Generally speaking, the temperature of a Jindan-level cultivator is only about 1,000 degrees. He had taken a free test before he went out, and it was 3,039 degrees.

Even if there was some improvement after a few days out, it would only be in the single digits at best. It suddenly increased by nearly 80 degrees, which was obviously the result of the mysterious wood carving.

In addition, magic power and physical body have been significantly improved.

"This thing is indeed useful..." Ren Tongyuan was pleasantly surprised, and he immediately deleted the data of the Tianjing.

According to Skynet rules, these data are strictly confidential.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Ren Tongyuan, however, did not believe Gao Xian. This guy connected all the cultivators from the Nine Continents through Skynet, greatly improving his ruling power.

It can be said that since the ancient times, no cultivator has had such strong control over an organization.

Ren Tongyuan received a complete and systematic education in Qingyun Sect and has a very deep knowledge and understanding of Skynet.

He knew how powerful Skynet was. Because of this, he was even more afraid of leaving traces on Skynet.

However, Skynet was so useful that he couldn't give it up.

Fortunately, he is just a small golden elixir, so I don't think anyone will monitor his actions. Gao Xian is the Lord of Pojun, and he is busy with all kinds of affairs, so it is impossible for him to waste his energy on him...

Ren Tongyuan thought that he was fine, and then used the mysterious wood carving to practice diligently. In just over ten years, he had already reached the late stage of the Golden Core, and was only one step away from condensing the Nascent Soul.

The rapid progress in cultivation also made Ren Tongyuan gain the attention of the sect. In addition, he performed very well and obtained more cultivation resources.

There were many Six Paths cultivators in the sect, and Ren Tongyuan stood out, so naturally he also attracted the attention of many Six Paths cultivators. He also deliberately won over many young Six Paths cultivators, and gathered around him.

Through gatherings and other means, Ren Tongyuan conducted multiple screenings and found like-minded people who had grievances against the sect and human cultivators, and privately formed a closely connected alliance.

Ren Tongyuan knew how powerful the sect was, so he was very cautious in doing this, and he didn't dare to speak out his grand plan. He just wanted to arouse the resentment of the six cultivators so that these guys could unite with him.

No matter how much they cursed in private, on the surface Ren Tongyuan and his group of cultivators all appeared to be honest and dutiful, and had a positive attitude towards work.

In Ren Tongyuan's opinion, they only need to develop quietly and wait for a suitable opportunity. If there is no opportunity, then they can hide deeply...

More than ten years passed like this, and Ren Tongyuan was granted an elixir by the sect, which enabled him to condense his Yin Spirit and advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was getting lower and lower, and under such circumstances, there were fewer and fewer high-level cultivators. Ren Tongyuan was able to attain the Yuanying stage and officially entered the core of the sect.

After colluding with various activities in secret, Ren Tongyuan soon became the lord of Youzhou Ziye City and took sole control of the area.

Normally, as a Nascent Soul True Lord, Ren Tongyuan could apply to return to the Eastern Wilderness, but for the sake of his greater plan, he chose to stay in the Qingyun Sect.

As the Lord of Ziye City, Ren Tongyuan holds great power. He has gathered more Six Paths cultivators around him, and his influence is also spreading...

On this day, Ren Tongyuan gathered many elites from the six realms to give a lecture in his quiet room. The mysterious wood sculpture was embedded in the wall behind him.

Over the past few decades, Ren Tongyuan has discovered that wood carvings have many uses. Not only can they help him practice, but they can also unconsciously stimulate the anger of practitioners. This is very beneficial to his work.

"The laws of nature are unfair, and so are the laws of humanity. As beings in the six realms, we are naturally inferior to others. Only by bravely moving forward regardless of everything can we control our destiny."

Ren Tongyuan said calmly: "After several years, perhaps we, the Six Paths, can also become the masters of heaven and earth..."

The many young Six Paths practitioners who were sitting in meditation below were all blushing and looked very excited.

Ren Tongyuan nodded secretly. Planting seeds may not necessarily make them sprout, but as long as enough seeds are sown, there will always be a harvest...

In the Shenxiao Palace, a huge mirror showed Ren Tongyuan's subtle eyes and expressions with great clarity.

Gao Xian, dressed in white and holding a sword, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Ren Tongyuan in the mirror with great interest.

Qi Niang frowned slightly and said coldly, "These rats only care about themselves and not others. They are extremely selfish and deserve to be killed!"

"Don't touch him yet."

Gao Xian said softly, "The six realms of sentient beings are inferior to humans. This is an unchangeable fact."

Qi Niang shook her head slightly: "The Six Paths are outsiders, and their resources are limited. Naturally, we must satisfy our own people first, and then take care of outsiders. The so-called distinction between relatives and strangers is a very simple principle.

"If we treat everyone equally, how will our fellow tribesmen view us?"

"An elder once said that cultivators are the most selfish creatures in the world. Even among humans, there are still differences in closeness and distance. No matter what the time or situation, there is no selflessness."

Gao Xian said: "If you can't satisfy all the cultivators, resentment will inevitably grow. Cultivators like Ren Tongyuan have only exacerbated the resentment."

He paused and said, "However, I believe that most practitioners still understand the truth and will not follow Ren Tongyuan to do anything reckless. This also proves that we are doing well."

"If we let this go on, it will inevitably lead to chaos..." Qinnan was a little worried about this.

Not to mention low-level cultivators, even high-level cultivators may not be able to keep their original hearts and minds. If Ren Tongyuan continues to incite like this, who knows how many opponents will gather.

"Does Ah Xian want to gather all the opponents and catch them all in one fell swoop?" Qinnan looked at Gao Xian and asked.

This is the method Ah Xian likes, but why do it if it can prevent trouble before it happens? She doesn't agree with this.

Gao Xian shook his head: "Qiniang, this involves both human nature and the Taixu Chaos Demon Lord. It's easy to deal with Ren Tongyuan, but the Taixu Chaos Demon Lord is a bit troublesome.

"Moreover, the Great Void Chaos Demon Lord is only under the command of the Primordial Demon Lord. Before the various gods and Buddhas from the heavenly realm descend, there must be more gods and demons who enter the human world as pioneers."

Gao Xian said solemnly: "Our fight with the gods and demons has just begun. They have a strong foundation, so it doesn't matter if they lose a few times. But we can't afford to lose..."

Zhu Qiniang was silent for a long while and then sighed softly. Her eyes immediately became firm. She took the initiative to hold Gao Xian's hand tightly and whispered, "Ah Xian, there is nothing to lose. We have done our best. Even if we fail, we will have a clear conscience... No matter what happens, I will be with you..."

At this point, Qi Niang's voice became a little gentler.

Gao Xian was also refreshed. He praised: "Qiniang is really conscious! I think too much. We share life and death, so there is nothing to be afraid of..." (End of this chapter)
