I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 715: Three people failed, seeking the truth (4k, please subscribe)

While Wei Tu and Venerable Han Yue were busy with their own things.

half year later.

Among the four people who broke through to the God Transformation stage in the blood sacrifice formation, the first runner-up finally appeared.

This person surprised everyone present.

He is one of the Five Scattered Taoists. In the eyes of Wei Tu and Venerable Han Yue, he is the second person with the most hope of becoming a deity, besides Luqiu Qingfeng.

However, he became the first to be eliminated this time.

"I was careless..."

On the black jade pillar, Taoist Wu San, who was sitting cross-legged with a pale face, slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Venerable Han Yue, who had rescued him in time and cut off his Dantian magic power, and a trace of shame immediately appeared in his eyes.

After all, this opportunity is hard to come by.

Although he had the merit of luring the ghost lady, there were also many quasi-gods under Venerable Han Yue who wanted to compete for this dangerous task.

However, the only lucky thing is.

This time when he broke through to the God Transformation stage, he had the protection of two other God Transformation masters, Wei Tu and Han Yue, by his side. They helped him suppress the restless magic power in his body and prevented him from dying from the breakthrough, thus saving his life.

"The reason for the failure of this breakthrough is that my mind is not pure and a demon in my heart was born..."

Taoist Wu San was led out of the blood sacrifice formation by Venerable Han Yue. He sighed and explained the reason why he failed to break through.

The inner demon is not a calamity on the road to enlightenment, but is the product of his own careless breeding of delusions and the magnification of thoughts.

When he was about to break through, his magic power was disturbed by his inner demons, and he stepped on empty air, which became an eternal regret.

Therefore, he would say that he was too cautious rather than that he did not have enough accumulation.

Hearing this, Venerable Han Yue shook his head. Without saying much, he waved his sleeves and signaled the Five Scattered Taoists to sit quietly aside and wait patiently.

Wei Tu, who was meditating in seclusion nearby, sighed secretly when he saw this scene.

Strictly speaking, the reason why the Five Scattered Taoists developed inner demons this time was not entirely their own fault.

On the contrary, the blood sacrifice formation has a lot to do with it.

- Using the blood sacrifice formation to extract the essence of the spirit, and initiating the monks to break through the realm... This move is not perfect, and there is no risk at all.

The ghost woman's spiritual essence contains fragments of this person's soul. Even if the blood sacrifice formation is transformed perfectly, impurities will inevitably appear.

He and Venerable Han Yue had made this clear to the Five Scattered Taoists and others in advance.

This time, the reason why Wu San Taoist failed to resist the "invasion" of the ghost woman's soul fragments was that he accidentally gave birth to a demon in his heart.

According to his estimation, the ghost woman must have a deep hatred for Wusan Taoist, the murderer who killed her. When she was transferring her spiritual essence, too much of this hatred was directed at Wusan Taoist.

Therefore, in his opinion, the failure of the Five Scattered Taoists to break through was more due to the fault of others rather than their own faults.

It's personal misfortune.

"However, absorbing the soul fragments of the ghost woman is not necessarily a bad thing. If you are lucky, you will be able to comprehend the magical skills and Dharma inheritance she inherited during her lifetime..."

Wei Tu raised his eyes, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and looked at Luqiu Qingfeng, who was burning the purple spiritual fire in his dantian and roasting the "spiritual essence", and felt a little more relieved in his heart.

This purple spiritual fire was none other than the innate magical power that was born after Luqiu Qingfeng became a pure-blooded descendant - Phoenix Flame.

This fire is extremely pure and clean; it is not difficult to burn away any distracting thoughts left in the ghost woman's spiritual essence.

Moreover, the effect of this [Phoenix Flame] is more than just that.

He could clearly sense that when Lüqiu Qingfeng used the [Phoenix Flame] to purify the ghost woman's "spiritual essence", she also collected the fragments of her soul, purified them into pure thoughts without memories, and then absorbed them.

The phoenix flame also slowly began to emit the aura of "the meaning of rebirth" that the ghost woman had comprehended.

Compared with the "bad luck" of the Five Scattered Taoists.

Luqiu Qingfeng, who was in the blood sacrifice formation, took advantage of his innate magical power and felt like a fish in water.

But... this is inevitable.

If he had not known long ago that Luqiu Qingfeng had the "Phoenix Flame", he would not have risked his life to join forces with Venerable Han Yue to capture the God of Transformation, allowing Luqiu Qingfeng to break through.

"The foundation of this Ninth Princess is quite strong."

While Wei Tu was observing Luqiu Qingfeng, Venerable Hanyue also paid attention to Luqiu Qingfeng.

When the blood sacrifice formation began, although he had already predicted that Luqiu Qingfeng was the one with the greatest hope of breaking through among the four, that was only a guess based on the fact that this woman was Wei Tu's Taoist partner.

Now, although it is difficult for him to use the spiritual pupil technique to peek into the changes in Luqiu Qingfeng's dantian like Wei Tu, the amount of "spiritual essence" that this woman absorbed is real.

At the moment when Wusan Taoist left the stage, 60% of the spiritual energy that flowed to the black jade pillar under Wusan Taoist's seat was absorbed by Luqiu Qingfeng, and the remaining 40% was divided between Sect Master Zhu and Palace Master Luo.

However, in his distant memory, Luqiu Qingfeng's talent was not that good. He could only dominate in a small place. He did not even have the qualifications to become his personal disciple.

Since when did this woman's foundation become so far ahead of all his disciples?

"It must be related to Wei Tu..."

Venerable Han Yue sighed in his heart and said with certainty.

He really couldn't see through Wei Tu. Even if Wei Tu now stated that he was in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, he would not be surprised, let alone raising the "upper limit" of his Taoist partner Luqiu Qingfeng.

……

Time passes slowly.

Two months later, the second runner-up appeared.

This time, Wei Tu and Venerable Han Yue were not too surprised.

Because Palace Master Luo was from a poor family and not a direct descendant, the two of them were not optimistic about him from the beginning.

Failure is inevitable, while breaking through adversity is unrealistic.

However, this is different from the failure of the Five Scattered Taoists to break through.

Palace Master Luo failed to break through this time, and even with Wei Tu's timely rescue, he was still seriously injured.

The reason for the serious injury was not that Palace Master Luo was too different from the Five Scattered Taoists in terms of foundation, but that he persisted a little longer and absorbed more spiritual essence.

The moon is full and then it wanes!

When one is unable to guide these spiritual essences to help oneself break through the spiritual transformation realm and transform them into spiritual transformation magic power, these powerful spiritual essences will immediately become deadly poison.

Now, Palace Master Luo failed to break through and was seriously injured, which was considered good. However, if the two people in the field, "Master Zhu" and "Lüqiu Qingfeng", continued to insist and failed to break through, they might really die, or lose all their cultivation and become disabled.

"Chongxuan, if you take one more step, it may be a dead end. Your master can allow you to give up..."

After hesitating for a moment, Venerable Han Yue looked up at Sect Leader Zhu who was struggling on the black jade platform, and secretly transmitted a message.

At this point in the blood sacrifice formation, with his divine vision, he could already tell that Sect Leader Zhu's chances of a breakthrough were not high.

This is much lower than the initial estimate of 30% to 40%.

Now, it’s only 15% at most.

If we continue to make mistakes, the only thing that will happen to us will most likely be a dead end.

On the contrary, if you give up now, you will be like Palace Master Luo, only seriously injured, and after recuperation, you will still be a quasi-God Transformation expert below the God Transformation level.

However, this is for Master Zhu personally.

For Jishan Sect, it was a bit of a loss. Although the probability of 15% was small, taking this risk, if they could get a Spiritual Transformation Venerable, it would still be a profit.

——The Jishan School does not lack a quasi-god.

The words fell.

Sect Leader Zhu opened his eyes, glanced at Venerable Han Yue, and shook his head slightly with a pleading look.

Next, Sect Leader Zhu said nothing more. With a determined look on his face, he continued to struggle between life and death while absorbing the spirit energy of the witch ghost.

See this scene.

Venerable Han Yue did not try to persuade him any further.

For a monk, the most important thing is to seek the truth.

Moreover, when he started the blood sacrifice formation, he was already prepared for the death of all those in the field.

Now, Taoist Wu San and Palace Master Luo failed to break through and saved their lives. The one who stayed behind, Luqiu Qingfeng, has a greater hope of breaking through... This is already a good progress.

……

Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, two more years passed.

During these two years, Wei Tu and Venerable Han Yue, in addition to paying attention to the breakthroughs of "Master Zhu" and "Lüqiu Qingfeng", also used a large number of scouts and spies to observe the movements in the Guixu Sea.

Especially the surveillance of the Youshen Cult!

After all, the disappearance of the ghost woman was no small matter for the Youshen Sect and the Six Sects of Xuandao.

Although the Jishan Sect is powerful, it is also afraid of the other four major sects of the Six Sects of Xuan Dao joining forces to launch an attack.

Fortunately.

Perhaps it was because the "turmoil" lasted too short, or perhaps it was due to practical considerations, everything was still normal within the Youshen Sect, and they did not make any unexpected moves that would cause turmoil in the Guixu Sea.

Today, the state of Guixu Sea is still maintained as a situation of a great battle between Jishan Sect and Xiaohuan Palace.

Just because of the temporary lack of high-level combat power, although the Jishan School is still on the offensive, the speed has obviously slowed down compared with previous years.

However, this anomaly was not considered abnormal in the eyes of Xiaohuan Palace and other sects. After all, the Jishan Sect had been attacking the enemy for more than ten years and had reaped the rewards. It was time to digest the fruits of the war. They could not really attack Xiaohuan Palace with the intention of destroying the sect.

The feud between the two factions is not that serious.

Among all this information, Wei Tu paid special attention to a cultivator named "Zhuo Shaobai".

When searching the ghost woman's soul, he learned from the ghost woman's memory that it was this man who helped the ghost woman and lured the Five Scattered Taoists into the "ambush circle".

Now, he has unexpectedly disappeared in the Youshen Sect and is secretly wanted by the Sect.

"This person is also a big beneficiary after the ghost woman was captured alive."

Wei Tu smiled slightly, with some guesses in his mind.

With his experience in the world, it is not difficult to see.

After Zhuo Shaobai learned that the ghost woman had "disappeared", he most likely took advantage of the Youshen Sect's weakness, stole the treasure and escaped.

There are many traitors even in the orthodox sects, let alone a sect like the Youshen Sect that leans towards the evil side.

As for the information about the ghost woman's disappearance...

He guessed that Zhuo Shaobai should have informed the Youshen Sect but not the other six sects of Xuan Dao.

After all, the internal strife in the Youshen Sect is a great thing for Zhuo Shaobai, a traitor.

But if he and Venerable Han Yue target me because of this incident, it would be very bad.

Now, the performance of the Youshen Sect and the Six Sects of Xuandao has proved this point.

"Jishan Sect does not have enough strength left, so let's put it on hold for now."

Wei Tu shook his head, put down the information jade slip, and secretly memorized Zhuo Shaobai in his heart.

Although Zhuo Shaobai had no intention of provoking the Jishan Sect, a disaster was still a disaster and he couldn't just ignore it.

The reason they avoid fighting is mostly due to lack of strength.

Once he achieves the state of becoming a spirit, there is a high chance that he will become hostile to Jishan Sect and become an enemy of Jishan Sect.

Matters like these must be handled with caution.

In addition, even though the treasures stolen by Zhuo Shaobai from the Youshen Sect were not attractive enough to him, a god-transforming cultivator, they were definitely a great temptation to other cultivators of the Jishan Sect.

A treasure that could make a quasi-god take such a risk is definitely not an ordinary treasure.

"When Qing Fengzheng becomes a god, this matter will be handed over to her."

Wei Tu's gaze shifted slightly, looking at Luqiu Qingfeng, whose aura had greatly improved, on the black jade platform. He was ready to leave this good opportunity of accumulating wealth to Luqiu Qingfeng, who would succeed in making a breakthrough in the future.

Killing people and stealing treasures is always the fastest way to accumulate wealth.

And fighting against a Quasi-God...

It can also help to temper Luqiu Qingfeng.

Although Luqiu Qingfeng is not a greenhouse flower, she has been cultivated in his greenhouse for hundreds of years, and it is time for her to go out and see blood.

however--

It was at that moment when Wei Tu looked at Luqiu Qingfeng.

Suddenly, a sound of gas explosion was heard, shaking the entire underground space violently several times, like a dragon turning over.

Fortunately, with the protection of the formation and a strong foundation, although Luqiu Qingfeng was affected in some ways in the blood sacrifice formation, the consequences were not serious. Only the circulation of magic power was slightly hindered for a moment, and then it recovered as before.

"Master Zhu has failed..."

As for the source of the explosion, it was not difficult for Wei Tu to find it at this moment. With a complicated look on his face, he looked at Sect Master Zhu who was sitting across from Luqiu Qingfeng.

At this moment, Sect Leader Zhu who was sitting on the black jade platform was no longer as energetic as he was a few months ago. His face was pale and bloodless, and blood was gushing out from his dantian under his abdomen, covering the entire jade base.

His seven orifices also oozed dark red blood within half a breath, and he looked extremely hideous and yet pitifully weak.

"Yuan Ying... has become a dead baby. He has become a useless person."

A rare look of sadness appeared on Venerable Han Yue's face at this moment, and he muttered to himself.

Sect Master Zhu is his last disciple and the person he relies on to handle sect affairs.

In terms of feelings, he is among the top disciples in his sect.

Saw this scene.

Wei Tu also felt regretful. After all, he and Sect Leader Zhu were good friends and their friendship spanned hundreds of years.

However, at this moment, he could not afford to sigh too much. When he saw that Venerable Han Yue was distracted and did not take any rescue action in time, he did not hesitate and flew out immediately, and took out the dejected Master Zhu from the blood sacrifice formation.

Although the blood sacrifice formation did not harm the cultivator standing on the black jade pillar, the spiritual energy it delivered was powerful enough to easily tear apart Sect Master Zhu, who had become a disabled man at this moment.

If you wait any longer.

The next moment, Sect Leader Zhu would immediately die in the blood sacrifice formation.
