The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2902 Another Person Breakthrough

This strange situation continued for several months. Finally, one day, a certain lineage received an anonymous letter informing them that their little genius was in their hands and that if they wanted the little genius to return unharmed, they should exchange him for a spiritual object.

The letter also stated that the hostage was not to be told to anyone, or he would be killed.

Such a serious incident immediately attracted attention because it wasn't just one sect that had this problem, but several sects that were affected at the same time.

After some discussion, the various sects decided to exchange spiritual items for their own young geniuses.

But this matter will obviously not end so simply.

And the guy who kidnapped all sorts of geniuses and prodigies was clearly not doing this for the first time.

This incident caused quite a stir in the Primordial Immortal Realm. Everyone thought it was just a passing fad, but unexpectedly, in the days that followed, geniuses and prodigies from various lineages in the Primordial Immortal Realm were frequently captured.

After a period of time, various sects and schools will receive extortion letters.

As time went on, this matter attracted the attention of many people.

But that's where the strange thing is.

The guys who capture geniuses and prodigies are incredibly shrewd and never leave themselves any clues. Even when a barrier-breaker personally takes action, they can't detect the slightest thing about the other party.

The opposite of.

Any sect that has a "Breakthrough" member personally taking action will immediately face strong retaliation from the other party.

Not only geniuses and prodigies from those sects would be captured, but ordinary sect disciples would also be captured.

even.

In the primordial immortal realm, there was a sect called the Xiangyang Sect. All of the sect's hundreds of thousands of young disciples were captured.

After a while, no more wall-breakers took the initiative to act aggressively, but the investigation continued.

Some people asked the disciples who were arrested who was responsible for this.

All the arrested individuals gave the same response: they did not know who had arrested them.

Some people get lost and captured while traveling; some are captured in the blink of an eye while taking a bath; some are captured while fighting when all their opponents disappear...

They all had one thing in common when they were arrested: they were arrested suddenly and had no idea who did it.

And their release was also due to them suddenly appearing in a certain place.

This incident is quite bizarre, and some people believe that it was the work of a Wall Breaker.

Those who break through barriers do not demand resources from various lineages. Those resources may be precious to those who are half-step barrier breakers, but they are not worth mentioning to those who break through barriers.

Besides, no one who breaks through barriers would be so bored as to do such a thing.

Most of those who break through barriers will seal their physical bodies and then operate in the world as Dao bodies.

No one would be so bored as to break through the barriers.

Another important reason why the whole incident did not escalate into a larger-scale capture was that none of the captured individuals showed any signs of being harmed.

In other words, the other party was merely greedy and did not cause any harm to anyone.

Since no one was harmed, the nature of this matter is simply about making money.

The matter did not end there. The various sects that had been extorted established special organizations to investigate the incident.

Nine cities in the Milky Way.

Zheng Tuo sat in a teahouse, listening to the information reported to him by the reconnaissance puppet.

He finished his tea and shook his head helplessly.

Based on the report of the whole incident, he was completely certain that the recent disappearances of geniuses in various Dao lineages were indeed related to the Dao Cauldron, as well as the Black Phoenix Trio.

really.

Chaos ensues wherever the Black Phoenix trio appears.

Since Black Phoenix was involved in this matter, there was no need to consider whether it was dangerous, because he believed that with Black Phoenix's abilities, even if a Wall Breaker made a move, they probably wouldn't be able to catch it.

He pondered in his heart when he would be able to break through and become a barrier-breaker.

Emperor Xuanyuan's breakthrough has stimulated many people, causing the primordial immortal realm to become very quiet.

All sorts of extraordinary talents are in seclusion, each eager to break through to the next level and become a barrier-breaker.

His cultivation of the Five Elements Immortal Body is progressing smoothly, and a breakthrough is only a matter of time; there's no need to rush.

While his breakthrough requires waiting, there is someone crucial to him who is on the verge of a breakthrough at any moment.

Ye Xian.

Ye Xian's own combat strength had long since reached the peak of the half-step Breaker, but he had not yet condensed his own Dao.

He is currently very active in the place where he was in seclusion, as if he intends to come out of seclusion.

He got up, left Tianhe Nine Cities, and arrived at the ancestral land of the Sword Sect.

The ancestral land of the Sword Sect remained unchanged, and his arrival went unnoticed.

Now, Haoran Zheng Tuo has left the ancestral land of the Sword Sect and gone to the Primordial Immortal Realm to train, using the sword of justice to cultivate the Qi of Righteousness, thereby achieving self-breakthrough and becoming a self-breakthrougher.

"It'll be soon, it'll be soon, it'll be soon."

The old swordsman's eyes were full of kindness, and his words were full of joy.

A barrier-breaker is about to be born in the Sword Sect.

For the Sword Sect, which is currently suffering heavy losses, this is truly a great thing.

To know.

Ye Xian possesses extraordinary talent, making him a peerless figure comparable to Emperor Xuanyuan.

It is believed that when Ye Xian breaks through, there will definitely be extraordinary phenomena, which means that Ye Xian is definitely capable of reaching the fifth level of the Breaker Realm.

The Sword Sect has a long history, but even so, there are very few experts who can reach the fifth level of the Breakthrough Realm. Moreover, in this era, the fifth level of the Breakthrough Realm represents the strongest.

"Senior, Ye Xian's breakthrough is on the agenda, but during the breakthrough, there will likely be powerful figures who will interfere. Not to mention, as a mortal enemy, the Undying Mountain will definitely intervene. In addition to the Undying Mountain, many old guys will probably also make a move. At that time, Ye Xian may be in danger!"

Zheng Tuo was very worried about this.

With powerful figures from the Imperial Clan protecting him, Emperor Xuanyuan was also protected by five powerful figures from the Dark Temple, which allowed him to successfully complete his tribulation.

In contrast, consider Ye Xian.

The Sword Sect is no longer a powerful force capable of rivaling the Saber Sect.

Because of the betrayal in the past, the Sword Sect has suffered a severe blow. At most, there are only two or three Breakthrough Realm members left, and their strength is not very high.

With just a few barrier breakers, it would be difficult to protect Ye Xian.

Originally, Zheng Tuo planned to break through first, because he had already found several protectors to help him.

Once I break through to the next level, with my own strength, plus the dozens of innate treasures and divine arrays at my disposal, I believe I will be able to protect Ye Xian completely.

However, plans can't keep up with changes, and his high expectations for breakthroughs caused his breakthroughs to be repeatedly delayed.

As time went on, Ye Xian broke through to the next level before him.

"I've also considered this matter!"

The old swordsman's gaze was deep, as if he had made some decisions.

"You don't need to worry about this. With me here, no one will hurt my precious disciple."

The Sword Sect's ancestral land contains a divine array. By empowering himself with this array, his combat power can increase several times over. Even if it costs him his life and burns himself out, he will ensure that his disciple completes his breakthrough and becomes a barrier-breaker.

Zheng Tuo saw the old sword saint's resolve.

The old swordsman's strength is beyond doubt, but his talent is not top-notch.

He had reached the end of his cultivation career, while Ye Xian was just beginning and had the potential to break through to the fifth level.

Therefore, in the old sword saint's view, if he could sacrifice himself to protect his disciple Ye Xian, it would be a blessing for the Sword Sect.

Zheng Tuo was deeply moved by the old swordsman's consideration for Ye Xian. Ye Xian truly deserves to have such a master.

Thinking of this, he immediately thought of his master, Wudao.

My master doesn't know where he is now or how he's doing.

But thinking about it carefully, my master must be living a more comfortable life than I am.

Because based on his understanding of his master's wickedness, he knew that his master would never allow himself to be uncomfortable.

Such a thought flashed through my mind.

"Senior Sword Saint, I am not very talented, but I know a few friends who may be able to help protect you when the time comes."

"Friends? Friends at the level of a Wall Breaker?"

"Yes."

The old swordsman was utterly astonished!
He didn't know much about Zheng Tuo, only that this kid had extraordinary talent and was no less than his precious disciple.

But the other party actually said that they had friends at the level of Wall Breakers who could come and help, which surprised him greatly.

"this!"

The old swordsman hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Don't worry, given my relationship with Ye Xian, my friend is absolutely reliable and there won't be any problems."

Zheng Tuo understood the old sword saint's concerns.

He didn't know Zheng Tuo's friends. He was afraid of the worst-case scenario, but he was worried that one of them might have ill intentions and could harm his own apprentice.

"May I ask, young friend, do I know any of the friends you speak of?"

The old sword saint naturally did not want to sacrifice himself. If possible, he hoped to see his disciple reach the fifth level of the Breaker realm and see the Sword Sect regain its glory.

"To be honest, I have a good relationship with the people of the Sword Sect. I can invite a powerful member of the Sword Sect to come."

"Sword Sect!"

Upon hearing those two words, the old swordsman was immediately enraged.

The Blade Sect and the Sword Sect have been fighting for too long, and they can't stand each other, so they often clash.

He was quite displeased that his future master of the Sword Sect needed the Blade Sect to come and protect him.

"Senior, please consider the bigger picture."

In Zheng Tuo's view, the feud between the Saber Sect and the Sword Sect was meaningless and was purely a matter of pride.

In this era, the Blade Sect is the number one sect in the original immortal realm, while the Sword Sect has suffered a great loss and is no longer what it used to be.

The two sides are no longer on equal footing, and it's believed that the Sword Sect won't care about this matter.

The old swordsman remained silent.

"Senior, rest assured, I will invite the experts from the Blade Sect to come and protect me as a friend. It has nothing to do with the Sword Sect."

Upon hearing this, the old swordsman finally relented, "That would be for the best."

With the old sword saint's permission, Zheng Tuo immediately contacted the people of the Blade Sect.

"Young friend Lan, you said that girl Ye Xian is about to break through!"

Dao Zhongxian, the sect leader of the Dao Sect, was full of surprise, but after thinking about it, he felt it made perfect sense.

“That’s right, Immortal Ye is about to break through, and I have come here specifically to invite you, senior, to help protect Immortal Ye,” Zheng Tuo said, explaining his purpose.

"You dare to have someone from the Blade Sect protect the future master of the Sword Sect? Aren't you afraid I'll kick you out?"

Dao Zhongxian had no interest in the Sword Sect, as the two were enemies.

How could someone from the Blade Sect protect someone from the Sword Sect? If word got out, people would laugh their heads off.

“Senior, I have come here not only for this matter, but also for another matter.”

"what's up?"

"Senior, please take a look."

Zheng Tuo raised his hand and took out the Immortal-Slaying Blade.

"How did the Immortal-Slaying Blade end up in your hands?!"

Dao Zhongxian was greatly surprised when he saw the Immortal-Slaying Blade!
"This junior has not only obtained the Immortal-Slaying Blade, but has also gained its approval. Therefore, senior, please take a look."

Zheng Tuo moved his palm and took out a gourd.

He handed the gourd to the Sword Immortal.

Dao Zhongxian took the gourd, not understanding why, and carefully opened it.

Suddenly.

The sword immortal's energy surged out of the gourd, startling the sword immortal into immediately sealing the gourd.

"This is... the aura of a sword immortal!"

Although Dao Zhongxian had never seen Dao Xian Qi, he cultivated the Dao Sect's methods.

The moment the aura of the Sword Immortal appeared, the cultivation method he practiced trembled, confirming to him that the aura in the gourd was the strongest aura of the Sword Sect, the Sword Immortal aura.

"How did you obtain the sword immortal energy?!"

Zheng Tuo would revise and explain the events at the Mythical Battlefield to Dao Zhongxian.

Upon hearing this, Dao Zhongxian burst into laughter.

"Since the Immortal-Slaying Blade has chosen you, you are the future successor of my Blade Sect. I will grant your request. It's just about protecting Ye Xian. Don't worry, when that girl Ye Xian breaks through, the experts of my Blade Sect will definitely lend a helping hand."

Dao Zhongxian was in a great mood and readily agreed.

In his view, the fact that the Immortal-Slaying Blade recognized its master signified the resurgence of the Blade Sect.

Moreover, he intended to keep this young man in the blue robes for the Sword Sect's use, so he would have agreed from the beginning, though he would have to make some demands.

Now that this young man Lan has mastered the Immortal-Slaying Blade and his cultivation possesses the aura of a sword immortal, no matter how you look at it, whether he admits it or not, he is already a member of my Sword Sect.

Zheng Tuo also understood what Dao Zhongxian meant.

He had no prejudice against the Sword Sect, after all, it was the number one power recognized in the Primordial Immortal Realm. If he could get along well with them, it would naturally be twice as effective.

“Since you have agreed, senior, I will take my leave.” Zheng Tuo stood up and left.

Dao Zhongxian did not stop him, because he knew that this young man was no ordinary person and that he could not be kept by force.

Such a strong person should be treated with respect, and he will always keep his promises.

Zheng Tuo left the Sword Sect and headed to the Heavenly River Dragon Palace, where the Dragon Clan resided.

There are three Breakers among the Dragon Clan, which can be called a powerful force. If they can join the ranks of the Protectors, they can be called god-level main attackers.

"no problem."

"Old Long readily agreed."

The Dragon Clan has a deep-seated grudge against many of the Wall Breakers, so it is their duty to help them this time.

After the dragon clan agreed, Zheng Tuo seemed to be deep in thought.

The Sword Sect has two Breakthroughs, the Dragon Clan has three Breakthroughs, and the Blade Sect has at least five Breakthroughs, thus providing ten Breakthroughs to protect the path.

When Emperor Xuanyuan underwent his tribulation, he only needed eight Breakthroughs to protect him. It seems that gathering ten Breakthroughs to protect Ye Xian would be more than enough.

but!
He shook his head, uneasy about it.

It seems that merely protecting Ye Xian for the sake of the one who breaks through the barrier is not enough.

To ensure Ye Xian's successful tribulation, perhaps I should seek out more cultivators who have broken through barriers to help protect him.
