I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 716: One Sadness and One Joy, Qing Feng Becomes the Supreme (4k, please subscribe)

"Master, I...failed."

After landing, Sect Leader Zhu's eyes were filled with tears and his voice was hoarse. He stammered for a moment, then knelt down in front of Venerable Han Yue and uttered these words.

Failed, he failed.

Obviously, Venerable Han Yue had advised him to give up, but he was still stubborn and insisted on fighting for the impossible.

Now, it would be a lie to say he had no regrets.

With just one thought, he went from being a powerful quasi-god to a useless person, with his dantian completely destroyed and beyond cure.

But after hearing this, Venerable Han Yue did not respond. The sadness on his face just now disappeared completely at this moment, and his expression was extremely calm, with neither joy nor sadness.

After waiting for a while, the Taoist Wusan, who was meditating nearby, helped up Zhu Zongzhu's junior brother, fed him healing pills, and used his magic power to sort out the little but still restless spiritual energy in his body.

After a while, the Five Scattered Taoists bowed to Venerable Han Yue, exchanged glances with him, then flicked their sleeves and flew away from this forbidden area with Sect Leader Zhu.

"Brother Wei, will you think that I am heartless?"

After the five scattered Taoists left, Venerable Han Yue sighed softly and took the initiative to talk to Wei Tu.

"This is Senior Brother Han Yue's family affair and has nothing to do with Wei."

Wei Tu shook his head, not wanting to delve further into this topic.

He did not think that the master-disciple relationship between Venerable Han Yue and Sect Master Zhu was fake. Just now, after Sect Master Zhu failed to break through, he also saw sadness on Venerable Han Yue's face.

He has his own reasons and considerations for pretending to be indifferent.

Just because of this small matter, it would not cause a rift between him and Venerable Han Yue and the Jishan Sect.

His meaning was very simple - this was Master Hanyue's family affair, and there was no need to explain it to someone outside the sect. He would understand.

"Just now, I really hoped that he could die in the blood sacrifice formation instead of being rescued by Junior Brother Wei."

"Without cultivation, having a few decades of life left is a torture for Chongxuan."

Venerable Han Yue spoke out his inner thoughts.

Hearing this, Wei Tu couldn't help but be surprised. It turned out that Venerable Han Yue didn't forget to rescue Sect Master Zhu in time because of emotional reasons, but just wanted Sect Master Zhu to die.

That's right. Sect Leader Zhu is no different from a useless person if he is still alive now. His Nascent Soul has turned into a dead baby, which is even worse than a fake infant cultivator. He can only rely on his former physique as a quasi-god to survive the last few decades of his life in the world.

For a leader like Zhu, death is a kind of relief.

"Moreover, when Sect Master Zhu knelt down just now, he was not only crying, but also asking for help from Venerable Han Yue, begging for Venerable Han Yue's mercy..."

'He didn't have the relief and regret after the failure.'

Wei Tu's eyes flickered slightly, and he probably understood why Venerable Han Yue had to be so cold and ruthless just now.

——It does not give Zhu Zongzhu the hope of a “second life”.

For the sake of the Tao, Sect Master Zhu can take the risk of a breakthrough, even if the chance of success is extremely low.

This is enough to show that this person is determined on the path of cultivation.

But on the other hand, those who are determined on the path also have a strong attachment to "survival", just like a drowning person who will do his best to grab the last straw.

That's exactly what happened.

These seekers of truth throughout the ages, after "failure", often become life slaves - fighting with all their might, they will hold on to the last glimmer of desire to live.

Having seen the beauty of the world, the power of the monks, and their freedom and willfulness, how can one be willing to become a runner-up, to fall into silence, and to die.

Sect Leader Zhu...is naturally no exception.

"Shou Nu ah..."

Wei Tu's eyes became complicated. This was the first time in his life that he saw his friend transform from a cultivator to a shameless slave hated by the immortal cultivation world.

However, deep down in his heart, he did not have any contempt for Sect Leader Zhu at this time.

If he were in this situation, he probably would not be willing to wait for death, but would try every possible means, even those that seemed to him to be beyond the limit, to save his life.

Kneeling down and begging the master for help is naturally nothing.

……

The joys and sorrows of different people are not shared.

After a moment of silence for Sect Leader Zhu, Wei Tu turned his gaze to Luqiu Qingfeng again, feeling a little happier.

As the Five Scattered Taoists, Palace Master Luo, and Sect Master Zhu left one after another, all the spiritual essence extracted from the ghost woman by the blood sacrifice formation was offered to Luqiu Qingfeng.

This undoubtedly accelerated the speed of his breakthrough.

Moreover, the good news is that at this time, Luqiu Qingfeng did not feel any great burden in absorbing these "extra" spiritual essences, and his foundation was still solid.

If we say that a few months ago, Master Zhu's chance of breakthrough dropped from 30% to 40% to 15%.

So now Luqiu Qingfeng's chance of breakthrough has increased from 50% to 60% to more than 80%.

These are all observable with his naked eyes.

Moreover, at this moment, he could also vaguely sense that the heavenly calamity was slowly gathering above Jishan Sect.

……

While Wei Tu and Venerable Han Yue were monitoring the six sects of Xuan Dao, the six sects of Xuan Dao were also secretly monitoring the Jishan Sect.

Therefore, when Luqiu Qingfeng's breakthrough phenomenon began to appear, Haoyang Sect, Xiaohuan Palace and other sects also obtained the information through spies on the same day.

"what?"

"Will the third incarnation of the God appear in Jishan Sect?"

In Xiaohuan Palace, Master Tong, who had been a coward and had been hiding from the world for a long time, suddenly changed his face when he heard the important news, and the hand holding the talisman could not help but tremble.

The two incarnated gods had already beaten him so hard that he was timid and had no power to fight back.

If the three gods of Jishan Sect were to remain in the world...

Wouldn't it really be a fate where you will die and your sect will be destroyed?

But what should he do now?
Join forces with other monks to besiege Jishan Sect?

With the protective formation of the sect in place, and Wei Tu and Venerable Han Yue protecting them, how can they break through Jishan Sect and kill the third deity who may become a Venerable within Jishan Sect?
There's no way to stop it!

"Let's talk to the ghost lady. This time, we need to join forces and really advance and retreat together..."

Venerable Tong calmed down a little and secretly flew out of Xiaohuan Palace.

Before this, although the ghost woman had signed a mutual alliance treaty with him on behalf of the Youshen Sect, she was too worried about offending the Jishan Sect, so her relationship with him had always been neither close nor distant.

Now, there is the huge threat of Jishan Sect.

It would be impossible to satisfy the growing appetite of Jishan Sect by simply encroaching on the interests of Xiaohuan Palace, so it was almost inevitable for the ghost woman to cooperate completely with him.

In addition, there was one thing that particularly concerned him during this trip to the Youshen Sect - the evil method of breaking through the God Transformation Realm that was passed down within the Youshen Sect.

In the past, he still had the pride of being a spirit-transforming master and was unwilling to touch such evil methods.

But now, forced by the situation...if possible, he wouldn't mind joining forces with the ghost woman and using this evil method to cultivate disciples who can become gods to ease the current huge pressure.

same moment.

In the Haoyang Sect, the "Old Monster Dingyang", who is known as the most powerful deity in Guixu Sea, also received news that a third deity was suspected to have appeared in the Jishan Sect.

Although he felt the news was absurd, after all, with the foundation of Jishan Sect, it was impossible to continue to cultivate a third God of Transformation in a short period of time. However... to be cautious, he still sent his disciples to invite several other Gods of Transformation to meet and discuss the future structure of Guixu Sea.

"Jishan Sect..."

"Han Yue..." After giving the order, the old monster Dingyang played with the information jade slip in his hand, with a playful smile on his lips.

He and Venerable Han Yue are also old friends.

They were both talented immortals in Guixu Sea back then.

However, there are differences in talents. Before he achieved the state of spiritual transformation, Venerable Han Yue had always been superior to him. After he achieved the state of spiritual transformation, he had always been superior to Venerable Han Yue.

For example...the current situation.

More than five hundred years ago, he was already one step ahead of Venerable Han Yue and broke through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

However, he didn't tell anyone about this news because there was no need to.

Rather than fighting for power, he preferred to practice in seclusion within the sect, or to look for ways to ascend to the spiritual world ahead of time.

But now, the Jishan Sect, whose strength has suddenly increased, has aroused his interest.

He was very curious about the reason for the rise of Jishan Sect.

Because "abnormalities" in the world of immortal cultivation are often equivalent to opportunities.

……

half year later.

A group of gods gathered outside the Jishan Sect. They were high up in the Jiugang Sky, communicating with their spiritual consciousness, and silently looked down at the Jishan Sect's gate below, where the protective formation was fully activated and the defense was tight.

Boom!

A thunder exploded.

Above the Jishan Sect, dark clouds gradually gathered, lightning flashed, and a thunderbolt as thick as an arm appeared.

Looking down, in the forbidden area at the back mountain of Jishan Sect, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was surging abnormally, condensing into a huge vortex of spiritual energy, which was compressed into mist-like spiritual liquid emitting various colors of spiritual light.

In the center of the spiritual energy vortex, a nine-phoenix spirit shadow over ten feet in size was constantly soaring and combing the spiritual energy.

"This Nine Phoenix Spirit should be the image of the newly promoted god in Jishan Sect. In other words, the person who achieved the god this time is... Wei Tu's Taoist partner Luqiu Qingfeng?"

Old Monster Dingyang glanced at Master Tong in front of him and asked with a slightly curious tone.

There are not many quasi-divine cultivators in the Jishan Sect, and each of them is a famous person. They have detailed intelligence in other sects.

However, Luqiu Qingfeng is an exception.

It has still been a while since he broke through to the quasi-god level.

For the group of gods, the only thing they remember is that this woman is Wei Tu's Taoist partner, who is in the late Nascent Soul stage. Wei Tu once had a feud with Master Tong because of this woman.

Therefore, although he saw the "Nine Phoenix Spirit Shadows", the signature form of the Luqiu clan, the old monster Dingyang did not dare to be certain that the cultivator who was currently breaking through to the God Transformation stage was Luqiu Qingfeng.

After all, the gap between the late Nascent Soul stage and the Spirit Transformation stage is quite large.

Among the people present at the scene, only Master Tong, who had the closest relationship with the Luqiu clan, could make the most accurate judgment.

"This aura belongs to Luqiu Qingfeng..."

Hearing this, Venerable Tong nodded and said with a slightly complicated expression.

At this time, if the person who became the Venerable was someone else, perhaps he would still be lucky and think that the stronger Jishan Sect would not specifically bully the Xiaohuan Palace family.

But now after seeing this scene, he completely gave up.

There is a hatred between him and Luqiu Qingfeng that wants to exterminate their entire clan!

Such hatred is difficult to resolve in a lifetime.

The words fell.

The eyes of all the gods present at the scene flickered slightly.

If the person who had become a god was another quasi-god-transforming cultivator of the Jishan Sect, they could still characterize him as the true second god-transforming cultivator cultivated by the Jishan Sect at the cost of the sect's wealth.

But Luqiu Qingfeng...

It's quite different.

This woman, like Wei Tu, has a shallow foundation in Jishan Sect. It is impossible for Jishan Sect to give the opportunity of becoming a god to an outsider like Luqiu Qingfeng for nothing.

In other words, Lüqiu Qingfeng's achievement of becoming a god has a lot to do with his Taoist partner Wei Tu.

It was Wei Tu who supported Luqiu Qingfeng in breaking through to the state of transformation!

Therefore, now they inevitably feel curious and greedy about Wei Tu, the "newly promoted god".

"and many more……"

"This Luqiu Qingfeng's Dharma image seems to have the aura of the ghost woman's afterlife..."

Suddenly, a venerable incarnation who was present widened his eyes and said in a lost voice.

"Ghost woman?"

As soon as the words fell, it caused an uproar.

You must know that among the masters of transformation who were present at the moment, except for those from Jishan Sect, the only one who was not present was the ghost woman.

It’s not a big deal if you don’t show up for an appointment.

But the appearance of Luqiu Qingfeng is tainted with the aura of the Dharma of Rebirth mastered by the ghost woman, which is a big deal.

After all, they were not unfamiliar with the "blood sacrifice" initiation.

"That's right! More than ten years ago, the Five Scattered Taoists joined the battle between the two factions holding spiritual treasures. I'm afraid it was to lure us to become gods and kill people to steal treasures..."

Venerable Tong's face was filled with gloom and he spoke in a cold voice.

He now couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had avoided fighting more than ten years ago because he was afraid of death and did not greedily try to snatch the stone mill magic treasure from the Taoist Wu San.

Otherwise, the person being sacrificed with blood at this time would not be the ghost woman, but him.

“If the ghost woman was really sacrificed in blood, then it is sufficient to prove that Wei Tu and Han Yue have the ability to capture a god of the same level alive… Now, with another god of transformation, the Jishan Sect will inevitably be even more powerful…”

After the shock, the death of the ghost woman brought real fear to the gods present.

When people are killed, they die.

Now, this group of people seemed to have the upper hand. In terms of numbers, they outnumbered the number of the Jishan Sect's Incarnation Spirits, but they belonged to different sects and were a motley crowd...

If one does not have the awareness of death in mind, there is no way to shake the Jishan Sect which is already rising today.

But is it possible to have the determination to die?

At most, they could help each other and prevent the Jishan Sect from becoming so crazy that they would target their several great gods again.

“Silence! It’s not easy to survive the heavenly thunder tribulation. When you break through with blood sacrifice, there is a high chance that you will encounter blood-colored thunder tribulation…”

The old monster Dingyang frowned slightly and scolded.

Hearing this, all the gods present looked at each other and nodded silently.

Blood sacrifice to become a god in order to break through is a demonic method that involves swallowing human pills, and is not permitted by heaven.

Generally speaking, unless there is a lack of inheritance in the sect, or even under a last resort, they will not rashly start the blood sacrifice formation to perform initiation on the younger generation...

Therefore, the difficulty that Luqiu Qingfeng faced in breaking through the God Transformation stage was not just the God Transformation stage, but also the "Heavenly Thunder Tribulation".

If you can’t cross it, you will turn into ashes.
