I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 365: Negotiations before the battle, best of three!

"Okay, okay, with this determination, why worry about not being able to accomplish great things?"

Seeing Gu Yuan’s heroic spirit, Master Yunyang stroked his beard and smiled.

"In that case, there is no time to lose. You all should follow me and head to Yinhuang Mountain immediately!"

"Brother Mo, you stay here and guard the formation until we return!"

Master Yunyang first said something to Master Cangming, Gu Yuan and others, then he looked up at the sky and gave instructions to the old dragon.

"Yun Yang, do you think I'm the guardian spirit beast of your Qingfeng Taoist Academy? I've wasted my cultivation to cross the great domain, and you let me do these trivial things?"

Above the rain curtain, the old dragon's dissatisfied and angry voice was heard, resounding through the sky like thunder.

"Don't worry, Brother Mo. I will satisfy you later!"

Master Yunyang laughed loudly, then waved his sleeves, and a purple thundercloud quietly emerged, then carried everyone and chased in the direction where Qianjingge and others fled.

Different from the Sky-Piercing Lark and the Divine-Dipping Sect who fled in all directions, the Qianjing Pavilion was a wealthy and powerful sect, and the monk could escape but the temple could not, so Master Honglie would definitely return to his own mountain gate.

"boom!"

The purple-armored Taoist soldier was surrounded by purple light all over his body, which turned into a thunder storm that wrapped him up. Then he took a step forward and disappeared on the spot, like a huge ball of purple electric current, swimming in the void, and quickly went away with a light that was no less powerful than that of Yunyang Zhenren.

……

……

Yinhuang Mountain.

This mountain is not majestic, but it stretches endlessly, like a long dragon hovering above the earth.

Thousands of peaks compete for beauty, hundreds of boats race against each other, the mountains are lush and green, the cliffs are thousands of feet high, and the scenery is magnificent.

Countless disciples built huts or built temples, scattered across the sacred peaks, practicing hard.

The spiritual mist lingered and flowed like ribbons between the peaks, making the entire Yinhuang Mountain Range appear vibrant.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Everything was peaceful and all the disciples were practicing peacefully, but suddenly, three loud noises broke the silence in the mountains.

Suddenly, three huge balls of spiritual light rose in the distance, stirring the spiritual veins of the earth and appearing in the sky.

A ball of spiritual light was like the sun, golden with a hint of black, floating endlessly in the air; a ball of spiritual light was like the bright moon, shining brightly and silver frost falling on it; a ball of spiritual light spread out in all directions, like the Milky Way pouring down to the ground, transforming into rays of starlight, covering the sky.

"The sun, the moon, and the stars, three lights rise together. This is the strange phenomenon of the mountain protection formation being fully activated. What happened?"

A disciple in Lingfeng saw this and asked with a serious expression.

The mountain protection formation of any sect is opened all year round, without stopping for millions of years, but on weekdays, it is mostly only used for warning and is not fully operational.

But once it is running at full power, it means that a powerful enemy is invading and the sect is in life-and-death crisis!
However, Qianjing Pavilion is also considered a top sect in the southern border of Dongshan Domain. It originally had three Daotai True Immortals, and now another uncle has made a breakthrough and achieved Daotai. There are four Daotai in one sect. Which force dares to provoke it?
What's more, in recent years, the sect has opened its scripture library and many "wonderful methods" have circulated. According to this situation, the sect should attack other sects, so why would it be attacked by others?

"Boom!"

Just as many disciples of Qianjing Pavilion were astonished, a deafening roar suddenly sounded from the distant sky.

Then, two purple thunderclouds suddenly split the sky and landed in front of the Three Lights Formation of Qianjing Pavilion.

On top of one of the purple clouds was an old man with white hair and beard, holding a whisk. Behind him, a row of monks were fighting in separate groups. Even from a long distance, the disciples of the Thousand Scriptures Pavilion could feel the deep and sea-like aura surging in the bodies of these monks.

"Daotai, Jindan?!"

Above that purple cloud, there were all Daotai and Jindan cultivators.

This scene made everyone turn pale with anger.

But this is not the end yet. Another purple cloud, like a storm sweeping across the sky and earth, came at a high speed. Then the purple light dispersed, revealing a huge monster that almost broke everyone's neck.

A purple-armored giant, as tall as the mountains and thousands of feet tall, came roaring over, surrounded by purple light and thunder, with flames in his eyes and nine huge pillars of fire rising into the sky behind him, like the armor of a god.

"Boom!"

The purple-armored Taoist soldier and Taoist Master Yunyang arrived outside the Qianjing Pavilion sect. Without stopping at all, the two of them joined forces, and purple lightning covered the sky, instantly blocking the gate of the Qianjing Pavilion. Thousands of lightning bolts rolled down, like an unusual thunder and rain.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Lightning flashed and thunder danced. Above the gate of Qianjing Pavilion, there was an illusory barrier in the shape of the sun, moon and stars, lingering around and protecting everything.

However, the lightning was so violent and overbearing that it was hard to describe. In just a split second, it dimmed the Three Lights Formation of the Thousand Sutras Pavilion.

But deep in the mountains of Qianjing Pavilion, wisps of spiritual mist danced like dragons and continuously fell into the formation. The sun, moon and stars just rotated gently, and the formation returned to its heyday again.

“Yun Yang, don’t be so aggressive. The mountain protection formation of my Qianjing Pavilion is not comparable to that of the Tianyao Sect. You are not qualified to break my formation!”

True Man Honglie appeared in the formation, stood in the void, and shouted to True Man Yuanyang.

"The Thousand Scriptures Pavilion does have a long history, but stealing my Jiuyi Mountain foundation is a great vengeance. How can I let it go so easily?"

"Your Three Lights Formation is indeed extraordinary, but how many mountains and rivers can it protect? How many spiritual places? And how many days can it last?"

Hearing this, Master Yunyang glanced at the mountains under the sky and burst into laughter.

The core area of ​​a fourth-level sect is naturally the fourth-level spiritual vein, which stretches for thousands of miles and contains countless spiritual palaces and hundreds of spiritual peaks. It is the real mountain gate.

This area of ​​ten thousand miles is completely covered by the sect's formation.

But in addition to this, if one wants to fully support a fourth-level sect, one must have many supporting spiritual peaks, spiritual fields, and affiliated forces.

A mere area of ​​ten thousand miles is not enough for a fourth-level sect to practice peacefully.

It is impossible for all kinds of spiritual mines, medicine gardens, and villas to be crowded in the sect’s mountain gate, so they have to be opened up in the outside world.

This is a huge asset.

Under normal circumstances, with the protection of the third-order formation and the suppression of the top combat power of the Thousand Scriptures Pavilion, no one would dare to covet these assets.

However, once a life-and-death crisis comes and an extremely powerful person comes knocking on the door, Qianjing Pavilion can only shrink its defense, and these assets will be powerless.

Upon hearing this, Master Honglie's face suddenly darkened.

It has been so long since Qianjing Pavilion has been in such a mess. It has been bullied at its doorstep and cannot even completely protect its foundation.

Master Honglie was shocked and angry, but he did not dare to walk out of the formation rashly.

Outside the formation, there were two people in the late Daotai stage, one in the middle Daotai stage, and a fourth-order middle-stage demon king who might appear at any time.

This power has far exceeded that of Qianjing Pavilion.

The most crucial thing is that although the Tianyao Sect is not as well-established as the Qianjing Pavilion, it also has a genuine fourth-order mountain protection formation. This sect was destroyed in just one day. How could we know whether Master Yunyang has other means to break his Three Lights Formation?
The lessons of the past were still fresh in his mind. How could he not be vigilant?
With this thought, he let out a long breath, forced out a smile, and sent a message to Master Yunyang through his mind:
"Fellow Daoist, it was my fault that Qianjing Pavilion did this before. I am willing to offer several fourth-level spiritual materials as compensation. How about you please leave?"

"Jiuyi Mountain has a great foundation and a lot of work needs to be done. Daoist friend, please don't linger in front of my Yinhuang Mountain."

"When you have completed the construction of the Jiuyi Mountain Taoist temple, I will present you with a generous gift. Wouldn't it be wonderful if our two families could join forces and share these hundreds of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers?"

Master Honglie sent a telepathic message, and it was obvious that he did not want the "gift and apology matter" to be known to everyone.

But Master Yunyang had no such worries. He just laughed out loud and said, "Are you sending us away with just a few fourth-level spiritual materials? Do you think we are begging for food?"

"Three Lights Formation, let me see if it is really as powerful as the rumors say!"

"No matter how great the foundation of Jiuyi Mountain is, how can it compare to Yinhuang Mountain?!"

Master Yunyang laughed loudly, and the giant Taoist soldier in purple armor also opened his mouth wide, revealing a ferocious smile. Then he closed his eyes and muttered something.

Although the purple-armored Taoist soldier's voice was very soft, with his huge body placed here, his whisper sounded like thunder.

Afterwards, dense Taoist characters kept flowing on his armor, and in the blink of an eye they turned into purple bamboo leaves. Not only that, the body of the purple-armored Taoist soldier also slowly changed, and finally turned into a thousand-foot purple bamboo, standing in front of Yinhuang Mountain.

This purple-armored Taoist soldier was originally transformed from Master Yunyang’s purple bamboo, and now it seems to have regained its original form.

But the place where it took root made Master Honglie change color with anger.

He controlled the formation and could clearly feel that the purple bamboo soldier was rooted in the ground, as solid as a mountain. Not only that, its roots seemed to be madly absorbing the spiritual energy of the nearby spiritual veins, and even the spiritual energy of the Three Lights Formation was slightly disturbed. Although the disturbance was weak, over time, who knew it would not pry open the formation?

"Fellow Taoist, what do you mean?!"

Master Honglie asked urgently.

"It's just a matter of planting some spiritual bamboo first, settling them down, and then slowly breaking the formation!"

Upon hearing this, Master Yunyang chuckled.

His Zixiao Taoist soldier, transformed into bamboo, can deprive people of spiritual energy and is extremely domineering. But as long as he has a thought, he can be transformed into a Taoist soldier again, possessing the combat power of the late Taoist fetus. Now that he is planted in front of the Thousand Scriptures Pavilion, he does not believe that the other party will not surrender.

"Fellow Daoist, what exactly do you want? You might as well tell me directly. Do you really want to destroy my Thousand Scriptures Pavilion?"

"I'm afraid you can't afford that price!"

Seeing that Master Yunyang seemed to be thinking of settling down and living for a long time at his doorstep, Master Honglie was immediately furious, but then he calmed down and said in a cold voice.

He was not a fool. At this point, he had already seen through Master Yunyang's "intention of coercion".

"I want these thirty-six sacred peaks, twelve shell fields, three thousand-year-old medicinal gardens, a ten-thousand-year-old dragon ginseng, a ten-thousand-mile territory with a population of three million, three fourth-tier spiritual treasures, ten copies of the Yuan Xiang Sutra, and I also want you to spread the Qian Jing Pavilion in the East Mountain Region and apologize to my Taoist temple."

The time has come. Master Yunyang waved his sleeves, pointed to the place under the sky where spiritual light flourished, and said with a big laugh.

"Impossible, you are robbing!"

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Master Honglie flew into a rage and roared immediately.

"Rob?!"

"Could it be that what Daoyou did before was not true?"

Master Yunyang just sneered.

His situation is already determined, and he is going to attack Yinhuang Mountain today, just to take a big bite and have a mouthful of fat!

grab?
He is the Taoist temple under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Palace, and he is fighting against the evil sect, so how can he say "rob"?
"Don't be ridiculous, my friend. I can't do what you ask."

"At most, we will offer three spiritual peaks, three million people, and three fourth-tier spiritual materials."

For a moment, Master Honglie wanted to rush out and fight Master Yunyang to the death, but he finally endured it.

The other party's request was so high, simply because he wanted to make a big profit or lure him out.

If he goes out into the battle, it will be hard to tell whether he lives or dies.

You can't.

The evil tiger came out of Nanshan and lurked in Yinhuang Mountain. At this moment, nothing could happen to him.

Otherwise, this ten-thousand-year foundation is truly beyond words.

"Just three spiritual peaks? Three fourth-tier spiritual materials, and you want me to retreat?"

"Fellow Daoist, do you think I am now sitting on Mount Jiuyi and looking at these mundane things?"

Master Yunyang sneered, and did not answer. He muttered something and continuously released his magic power, which fell on the purple spiritual bamboo below.

The spiritual bamboo trembled, and the energy it absorbed from spiritual energy increased dramatically again, causing the Three Lights Array to tremble slightly.

Master Honglie was shocked and his face became even uglier.

"I would like to present you with another true scripture. Fellow Daoist, please do not be aggressive. We in the Thousand Scriptures Pavilion are not easy to deal with. If we can really break the formation, are you sure you can escape unscathed?"

Master Honglie suppressed his anger and took out a red "lantern" from his sleeve, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Twelve sacred peaks, six shell fields, two thousand-year-old medicinal gardens, a ten-thousand-year-old dragon ginseng, three million people, a sacred treasure, and two true scriptures!"

When Master Yunyang saw the lamp, he hesitated for a moment and then spoke again.

This request was a little less than before, but it was still a price that Master Honglie could not accept.

He immediately refuted and would rather die than surrender.

Seeing this, Master Yunyang pretended to ponder, and then said: "In this case, why don't we both take a step back, you and I will each send out a few people, and we will fight. If I win, you can do as I ask."

"If you win, all your requests will be halved, and I will not take any of the dragon ginseng or magical treasures!"

"how?"

A fight was made, and the winner would only need six sacred peaks, three shell fields, and a true scripture?
Master Honglie was silent for a moment.

This is actually a predatory treaty. No matter what, Qingfeng Taoist Temple will benefit from it.

But Master Honglie understood that the situation was stronger than the people, and Qingfeng Taoist Academy would never retreat unless it gained some benefits today.

"Who is fighting? Dao fetus? Golden elixir?"

Master Honglie asked again.

"Fellow Daoist, let's decide. If you and I have fought before, it's not impossible!"

Master Yunyang stroked his beard and smiled.

"The Daotai fighting method is too ostentatious and inappropriate. Why don't we let the Jindan junior fight for you and me?"

Master Honglie's eyes gleamed, and then he spoke.

"Can!"

"We must sign a contract. For a hundred years, no less a hundred and fifty years, neither our sects can attack each other. Those who violate the contract will have their hearts devoured by thousands of thunderbolts!"

Master Honglie said again.

"Just as you say, fellow Taoist!"

"When will the fight be?"

Upon seeing this, Master Yunyang felt relieved and then asked.

"After a short rest, we will have a battle in the sky three days later!"

Master Honglie finally decided to decide it by fighting, but then he remembered something and added, "Best of three!"

"Fellow Daoist is good at calculations. Two out of three is fine, but one person digging the formation also has to count."

Master Yunyang sneered.

Master Honglie didn't want to count the consequences, but seeing Master Yunyang's firm attitude, he also understood that not everything could go his way, so he said, "You can dig the formation, but you can't have time to recover your magic power."

"Just as you say, fellow Taoist!"

Master Yunyang sneered in his heart and responded immediately.

He had long expected that if the request was too harsh, Qianjing Pavilion would definitely not respond.

But if you propose a fight and give them a glimmer of hope, they will most likely be willing to compromise.

He and True Man Cangming have already proved their strength by conquering mountains and destroying sects. Out of fear, Qianjing Pavilion will definitely choose the Golden Core Battle.

It takes a lot of twists and turns and negotiations, but it is actually a helpless move.

Although he wanted to break the Three Lights Formation and completely plunder everything, he knew in his heart that this was unrealistic.

Planting bamboo to block the door is just a temporary solution.

He was unable to break the Three Lights Formation, a formation of ten thousand years. Even if he could break it, the final price would be unbearable for him.

It's already great to be able to get many spiritual materials as compensation and a chance to catch your breath. Don't ask for too much.

Having Mount Jiuyi as a base is enough.

What's more, if we win this battle, there will be another blessing.

I just don’t know if Gu Yuan can grasp it.
