I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 453 Return to the Mountain Gate
"call!"

After rushing out of the Ghost Abyss, Xia Daoming looked around the familiar surroundings and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, Xia Daoming turned around and looked at the unfathomable Ghost Abyss with a complicated look.

This time when he entered the Xuanwu Secret Realm, he was confident that his strength had increased a lot, and he should be able to break through many restricted areas and obtain many rare treasures.

The first restricted area seemed to confirm his thoughts.

Not only did he break through it relatively easily, but he also got the opportunity to obtain two Yin-Yang Yuan Fruits that were very useful in breaking through the elixir and becoming an infant.

This gave Xia Daoming a great boost of confidence, and he also saw that there were many more opportunities hidden in the island at the bottom of the lake than on the surface of the lake.

Just when Xia Daoming was full of ambition and wanted to sweep all the way and gain a lot, the second penalty area gave him a hard punch.

The second restricted area trapped him for three whole years.

If it weren't for the three years of training, which finally allowed him to make some breakthroughs in the Ancestral Dragon Body's magical power and be able to forcibly use a pair of dragon claws, coupled with the sudden explosion of the Mountain God's Scepter, it is unknown how many years he would have been trapped in that restricted area.

This time he escaped and forcefully used his magical powers, unleashing the Mountain God Sceptre with all his strength, causing Xia Daoming to lose both his energy and blood. His hands, which had turned into dragon claws, felt as if the bones and muscles were broken, causing him immense pain. The boundless sea of ​​blood also dropped a lot, and the fire in the Crimson Palace dimmed.

Next, Xia Daoming naturally didn’t dare to dream of a large-scale sweep anymore, and he went straight through the passage and returned to the outside world in a panic.

"Being at the bottom of the lake, my strength is greatly limited. The formation has not been disturbed much and is relatively more intact than that on the surface of the lake. It is extremely difficult to sweep across the lake.

It's a pity that Lian'er can't bear the pressure at the bottom of the lake. Otherwise, if she could go into the bottom of the lake with me, with her guidance by the side, it would be much easier to break those incomplete formations and restrictions.

Do I have to wait until I reach the Divine Weapon Realm before I can sweep across the lake bottom? But I haven’t even found the ancient method of the Divine Weapon Realm yet, so I don’t know when that day will come!”

Xia Daoming looked into the depths of the Ghost Abyss, a helpless smile forming on his face.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time and go back to Qingyuan Mountain first! Although I have been trapped for three years this time, I have gained a lot. Not only has my Ancestral Dragon Tyrant Body magical power made some breakthroughs and I can use the Dragon Claw, but there are also two Qiankun Guiyuan Fruits growing in that restricted area.

After this trip, if we let Master's Wife, Yue'er, and Lan Xue refine the pill, and if Zhuang Rui and Lu Ning, who have experience in refining this kind of pill, help them, we might be able to refine six or seven Wanxiang Guiyuan Pills."

Xia Daoming quickly shook off the helplessness in his heart and started thinking about happy things.

Thinking of this, my depressed mood was swept away and I felt full of energy.

A few days later.

Xia Daoming returned to the Qingyuan Mountain Gate.

Xiao Jin is still refining the energy of the late Nascent Soul stage and has not come out of seclusion.

After Zuo Dongge killed Ye Bai, he seemed to have let go of a big worry. He has been staying at the mountain gate for the past few years and has never left.

It is said that apart from occasionally giving lectures, he would accompany Shang Ruihe in seclusion to comprehend the way of the sword.

When Xia Daoming returned to the mountain gate, he was in seclusion.

Xia Daoming was too lazy to knock on the door and pay his respects.

As soon as he came back, he went to find Ji Wenyue first. They hadn't seen each other for several years, so they naturally wanted to practice the "Yin Yang Transformation Sutra" together.

Moreover, this time when he broke the restriction at the bottom of Xuanwu Lake, he suffered heavy losses and even some injuries.

The recovery speed can be accelerated by practicing dual cultivation. Now that both of them have achieved Nascent Soul, practicing the Yin-Yang Transformation Sutra together has added an indescribable fun.

After practicing together for more than ten days, Xia Daoming handed the two Qiankun Guiyuan Fruits to Ji Wenyue.

The Qiankun Guiyuan Fruit is a precious spiritual fruit that is almost extinct in the outside world. Many cultivators in the middle Nascent Soul stage have been searching for it for hundreds of years but have yet to obtain it.

When Ji Wenyue saw the fruit, her eyes lit up immediately, just like a wine lover seeing good wine. She left Xia Daoming and hurried to the Alchemy Hall to study the medicinal properties of the fruit.

Looking at Ji Wenyue's graceful back as she hurriedly left, Xia Daoming shook his head and said to himself, "Fortunately, I was wise enough not to take out the fruit right at the beginning, otherwise I would be alone when I come back."

As he spoke, Xia Daoming laughed, then summoned Chai Feng and ordered him to go to Chilong Island, bring Zhuang Rui and Lu Ning to Qingyuan Mountain, and assist Ji Wenyue and others in refining the Wanxiang Guiyuan Pill.

After that, Xia Daoming thought about it and left Chiyan Peak, heading all the way to Chengdao Peak where the martial arts master Qiu Dongyan was.

Qiu Dongyan was once one of the four late Jindan cultivators of Qingyuan Sect. He served as the master of the Transmission Hall and had a deep foundation in cultivation.

Ever since Nan Zhenhai returned to the mountain gate, he has been practicing in seclusion most of the time, trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

The affairs of the Transmission Hall are now handed over to her disciple Li Tinghui.

When Xia Daoming came to Chengdao Peak, Qiu Dongyan was practicing in seclusion.

However, Xia Daoming's prestige in Qingyuan Sect today can be said to be higher than that of the two ancestors Huangfu and Linghu back then.

Before he reached Chengdao Peak, a disciple saw him from afar and immediately went to knock on the gate.

Qiu Dongyan was at a critical juncture in her cultivation, and she had already told her disciples in advance not to knock on the gate easily. As a result, the disciples actually knocked on the gate at this critical juncture. She was naturally a little annoyed, and was about to scold them, but when she heard that it was Xia Daoming who came to Chengdao Peak in person, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, and immediately came out of seclusion, bringing a few of his own disciples to personally welcome them out of the cave.

"Why did the Great Elder come to my Chengdao Peak in person today? If you have any instructions, just order your disciples to come!" Qiu Dongyan said humbly and politely.

"Why doesn't Sister Qiu welcome me?" Xia Daoming said with a smile.

Speaking of which, Xia Daoming and Qiu Dongyan had some problems in the past.

But times have changed. The Qingyuan Sect experienced a catastrophe that almost wiped out the sect, and even a war of punishment. Shen Boyin and other older generation Jindan monks died in battle for the sect. Who would care about those trivial matters in the past?

On the contrary, after experiencing that catastrophe, Xia Daoming, whose cultivation had become more and more advanced, put away his previous arrogance towards Qiu Dongyan, and lowered his posture, calling her Master Aunt instead.

This person was a contemporary of his master, and there are not many of him left in Qingyuan Sect now.

This time, Qingyuan Sect rebuilt the mountain gate and changed many rules.

One of them was to honor the surviving older generation Jindan cultivators, including Shang Rui, as supreme elders.

In Xia Daoming's generation, Xia Daoming was the leader and was established as the grand elder, with the same position as the supreme elder and holding real power.

The generation of the Supreme Elder usually did not take care of other things. They only focused on their own cultivation. At most, they would give lectures and instruct their disciples when they had time.

They will only be mobilized when the sect encounters major events.

Normally, sect affairs are mainly handled by the sect master and some elders with official positions.

The great elder Xia Daoming usually doesn't get involved in affairs. Only when something really serious happens will he make the final decision or take action personally.
