My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 164: Terrifying Power

Bang bang.

Inside the sword formation.

The lizard bones occupied by the Yin Bone Demon were frantically hitting the sword formations around them, but no matter how they tried, they were trapped in the sword formations and unable to escape.

See this.

Zhou Ping was secretly shocked.

The old monster in the Nascent Soul stage was trapped by just a sword formation. This little tripod has only recovered a little bit of its strength. How terrifying would it be in its heyday?

He opened the virtual box of national destiny.

There are no new fonts displayed above.

Obviously, it is impossible to capture the sword formation by observing it.

Xiao Ding grinned and said, "Little guy, as long as you can get me some things like the Golden Jade Silk Book, I will teach you this sword formation and other techniques."

Zhou Ping's mouth twitched. He hadn't expected this young Ding to have mastered the modern boss's lucrative tactics. He hurriedly said, "Senior Ding, the most urgent task is to kill this old monster in front of us, as well as the other powerful people who have infiltrated from Earth."

"rest assured."

"This guy is already trapped. If he escapes, I will..."

The words are not finished yet.

The Yin Bone Demon in the sword formation actually abandoned the remaining lizard bones, turned into a black cloud, broke free from the sword formation, and fled to the underground cave at an extremely fast speed.

"Depend on!"

Xiao Ding cursed, "This old guy is quite decisive, but it's wishful thinking to think he can escape from me!"

It controlled Zhou Ping's body and quickly caught up.

However, after the Yin Bone Demon broke free from the lizard bones, the ghost escaped too fast. When Xiao Ding chased him to the underground cave, the Yin Bone Demon had disappeared.

"Huh, what a small skill."

Xiao Ding snorted coldly, raised his hand to grab the Purple Sky Sword and slashed it directly into the air. With a loud bang, the entire underground cave shook, and soon the space was cracking like glass. "Little guy, watch carefully, this is the Six Phase Illusion Formation, with six Dharma Phases, each of which is a formation. There are two ways to break it. One is to familiarize yourself with the Six Phase Illusion Formation, and the other is to break it with force like I did!"

Zhou Ping was speechless.

How could he not hear that Xiao Ding was showing off?

I originally thought Xiao Ding was aloof and reserved. When we first met, he said very little. But now his pretentious nature has been completely exposed. He praised him repeatedly, saying, "Senior Ding is amazing. I can't even compare to him."

Xiao Ding said with great satisfaction, "Your cultivation is still short, but there is still hope that you can catch up with me."

boom.

A communication room with one person and one tripod.

The six-phase illusion array in the underground cave collapsed.

A deep natural cave suddenly appeared before my eyes.

Zhou Ping had been to the underground cave when he and Jiang Xia were investigating the Fushan female slave case, but they were blocked by a natural formation. Now with Xiao Ding, he finally saw the whole picture of the underground cave. Following this natural cave, there was a five-colored altar about several thousand meters deep. However, compared with the five-colored altar of Mount Tai, the five-colored altar of the Ancheng underground ruins was dark in color and made of bones.

"So this is it."

Xiao Ding seemed to recognize the origin of the ruins. It sneered, "No wonder those lizard bones look familiar to me."

It waved its hand to control the Purple Sky Sword and instantly destroyed the five-colored altar.

And this time.

The Zixiao Sword was already burning with immortal fire.

As the immortal fire rose, the temperature of the entire five-colored altar space became scorching hot.

"Don't hide it, old man."

"You are just a ghost. Even if you have some tricks, you will never be able to escape from my palm!"

The Zixiao Sword whistled.

As the immortal fire rose, even the space began to burn.

The Yin Bone Demon couldn't bear it any longer. This kind of flame was causing great harm to him. He could only emerge from a single bone. The dark cloud enveloped his ghost, and his voice spread out, "Senior, I have no hatred against you in the past, nor any grudge against you in the present. Why do you have to kill me?"

Xiao Ding scratched his ears impatiently. "Stop talking nonsense. You are an extraterrestrial civilization. This is Earth. You can't do whatever you want."

The Yin Bone Demon hurriedly said, "This is my fault. I swear that from this moment on, I will control my subordinates and never let them do anything wrong."

With just a few words, he put all the blame on his subordinates.

Xiao Ding chuckled and said, "Alright, hand over everything you have, especially the spirit stones."

"Yes, senior."

The Yin Bone Demon was very obedient and took out a jade ring from the black cloud. It was similar to the jade ring on the black-robed messenger that Zhou Ping had killed before, but the color was darker and it had special patterns.

The small tripod penetrated inside and took a look. There were more than twenty high-quality spirit stones and various materials for elixirs, refining tools, puppets, etc. However, there were not many of them, and most of them were incomplete. It was obvious that they were obtained here.

Except for spirit stones.

I don’t like the other small tripods.

"Why is it only this little bit? Are you still hiding it?"

It said coldly.

Dark clouds surged around the Yin Bone Demon. "Senior, please be discerning. I brought this jade ring in from outside. You must be aware that this planet is now completely enveloped by the Taiyan Sect's formation. In fact, it was the Taiyan Sect that invaded your hometown. I can only bring this jade ring in. I can't bring anything else."

Xiao Ding snorted, "I don't care whether you can bring it in or not. This little bit of stuff isn't enough to buy your life. Die!"

Wow.

The Zixiao sword instantly pierced through the black clouds.

But then there was a clang, and a metallic collision was heard in the black cloud. Then the Zixiao Sword was bounced out and spun dozens of times in the air before it stabilized.

Xiao Ding looked into the black cloud in surprise, only to see that the Yin Bone Demon had a special bone in his hand. It was this bone that had blocked the fatal blow just now. "It seems that my guess was right. You old fellow really have some good stuff."

The Yin Bone Demon roared, "Senior, you are so shameless to go back on your word. If you kill me, my Xinghe Sect will definitely flatten this planet!!"

Xiao Ding ignored the Yin Bone Demon and said with a serious expression, "Little guy, please lend me the Samadhi True Fire you've cultivated!"

Huhu.

He opened his mouth and breathed out a ball of fire.

This flame is the Samadhi True Fire that Zhou Ping spent three years cultivating. Although it is missing one of the Samadhi elements, its power is still extremely terrifying.

The black cloud around the Yin Bone Demon sensed fear and wanted to dodge, but found that it could not avoid the attack of fire at all. As the black cloud was stained with flames, it hurriedly urged the dominoes, but was shocked to see that the dominoes were burning.

“No!!” “Senior, please spare my life!”

Screams came from the ghosts.

Zhou Ping remained indifferent until the ghost was about to completely dissipate. Suddenly, a terrifying realization came over him, "Who dares to kill my disciple?!"

Xiao Ding's expression changed slightly, but he continued to urge.

"court death!"

The terrifying consciousness wanted to crush over, but at this time a crisp sound of a tripod was heard, and the terrifying consciousness was directly shattered.

Without the support of the terrifying consciousness, the last trace of the Yin Bone Demon's soul was instantly burned to ashes, even the dominoes were gone.

However, Xiao Ding's face didn't show joy, but instead a serious expression. "Little fellow, I didn't expect that this old man's ghost still had a consciousness hidden within it. Judging from the fluctuations of that consciousness, it should be a cultivator at the Return to Void level. Although such a cultivator can't even reach the Near-Immortal level, if we alarm him now, the Earth Seal is likely to be broken more quickly."

Zhou Ping couldn't help but ask, "Senior Ding, are you saying that consciousness belongs to the core leaders of the Xinghe Sect?"

"Correct."

"Whether it's the Taiyan Sect or the Xinghe Sect on your spaceship, their goal is actually to get the Earth. In ancient times, the Earth belonged to an ancient cultivation civilization. It was only because of some things that the civilization declined and became what it is today. However, there are still many good things in those ruins, so the Taiyan Sect and the Xinghe Sect came here for these things."

Xiao Ding said, "The reason the Earth Seal is still holding up is because the Galaxy Sect's near-immortal-level experts haven't taken action... But now it's different. If I were to shatter their consciousness, it would be a bit troublesome."

Zhou Ping reacted instantly.

If the Xinghe Sect knew that an ancient powerful man had revived on Earth, they would definitely speed up the pace of breaking the seal. In other words, killing the leader of the Guigu Sect just now would have caused trouble.

"Senior Ding, this is not your fault. Regardless of whether this old man is killed or not, the Xinghe Sect will break the seal and occupy the Earth sooner or later."

Facing a behemoth like the Xinghe Sect.

He knew that he must not harbor any luck or illusions.

Xiao Ding laughed. "It's good that you think so. Let's go and clean up the remaining remnants. Even if the Xinghe Sect's near-immortals take action, it will take a while."

Next, Xiao Ding killed all the black-robed messengers of the Guigu Sect and obtained a total of seven jade rings, which contained a total of 26 high-grade spirit stones, allowing Zhou Ping to obtain 1.5 million national destiny points in one go.

The once scarce national fortune points became rich again.

With national destiny points.

Zhou Ping is also very confident.

However, when Xiao Ding and Zhou Ping went to clean up Jing'an Si and Shennong Palace again, they found that no one was there.

"Could it be hidden in the ruins?"

Zhou Ping guessed.

Xiao Ding nodded. "That's a possibility. There are several ruins on Earth. Aside from Mount Tai, I wouldn't dare venture into the others. If those remnants really do hide in the ruins, I won't be able to sense them."

"Forget it. Now we have enough high-grade spirit stones to activate the teleportation array on Mount Tai and take you to other planets."

Zhou Ping hesitated for a moment and asked, "Senior Ding, if we go to other planets, can we still return to Earth?"

"of course can."

"With this cauldron, you can come back anytime. Furthermore, with your aptitude, there's no room for growth on Earth. Don't forget, you're a Nine Apertures cultivator. Condensing the Golden Core and Nascent Soul requires special materials. For example, the Golden Core requires the gathering of the Five Elements Qi, and these Five Elements Qi are no longer available on Earth!"

Hear this.

Zhou Ping was stunned for a moment, "Senior Ding, is the practice of Nine Apertures practitioners different from normal practitioners?"

Xiao Ding rolled his eyes and shook his body. "It seems that Fenghuang hasn't told you about the Nine Apertures Cultivation System yet. Today I will tell you in detail."

"This Nine Apertures cultivation system is no different from most other cultivation systems in terms of realm. They all have seven realms: Qi Training, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Primordial Spirit, Return to Void, and Earthly Immortal. However, there are significant differences within them."

"First is mana. Those who have opened the Nine Apertures have more than ten times the mana of ordinary cultivators. They are considered to have immense mana. Secondly, it is the soul. When you achieve Primordial Spirit, the advantages of your soul will be revealed. The strength of your soul is related to whether you can condense the Law of Heaven and Earth."

"Finally, it's the physical body. As time goes on, your physical body will become stronger..."

Xiao Ding continued, "But all this is not without a price. The more powerful and vast the magic power is, the stronger the bones need to support it. You are lucky. When you were building your foundation, you encountered the Immortal Fire Seed, which enabled you to build a supreme foundation and consolidate your physical body and magic power."

"But if the Five Elements Qi aren't integrated into the Golden Core when forming it, your Golden Core will have trouble controlling your ever-increasing magical power and physical body..."

More than two hours.

Zhou Ping had a clear understanding of the Nine Apertures practitioners.

simply put.

Opening the Nine Apertures only gives one advantage over other practitioners. Whether it is forming the elixir or condensing the infant, there is no bottleneck. There is no need to look for any materials to assist in forming the elixir or condensing the infant. You can step through the threshold on your own, but there are also other corresponding requirements.

"Thank you, Senior Ding!"

In this regard, he really felt like crossing a river by feeling the stones. If Senior Ding had not reminded him, he would have been in great trouble when he formed the pill.

Xiao Ding said, "No need to thank me. Even if I didn't tell you, Fenghuang would have reminded you. Alright, go back now and get ready. I'll go see how long the seal created by the Taiyan Sect's formation spirit can hold out."

"If the time is too short, we have to be prepared to run away."

Zhou Ping nodded.

He rode on the Purple Sky Sword and quickly returned to the New Han Empire's capital in South Africa with Jiang Xia.

"husband."

"Honey, you are back."

Chen Xue and Tian Xiaoqin saw Zhou Ping and hurried to greet him.

After three years of practice, with Zhou Ping's help and the improvement and transformation of their talents and the essence of the fairy fire after ascending the throne, the two women now have good spiritual root qualifications, and both have established their foundation. Although they are not nine-orifice foundation builders like Zhou Ping and Jiang Xia, their magic power and bones are stronger than other practitioners.

After building their foundation, the most obvious thing about them was that they could barely withstand Zhou Ping's impact.

At night.

Zhou Ping pampered the two women well. After all, he had to leave through the Taishan teleportation array. Although he could return at any time, the thought of the long distance between them made him more motivated.

The next morning.

Xiao Ding is back.

Zhou Ping hurriedly asked, "Senior Ding, how is it?"

"The Taiyan Sect's formation spirit is quite capable. It used the formations of ancient ruins on Earth to attract them, combined with the energy of spaceships, to set up a large sealing formation. I helped repair it last night. Even if a near-immortal level person takes action, it should be able to hold out for three to five years without any problem."

Xiao Ding said confidently.

Zhou Ping was overjoyed, "That's great."

He was cultivating very quickly, and now he had acquired a lot of national fortune points. It should be possible for him to condense the golden elixir in three to five years. By then, he would be able to escape via Beiyuan City's spaceship before the Xinghe Sect descended on Earth.

If he can't find the five elements' qi, he will also form the elixir in advance. The formation spirit said that the defense capabilities of different space ships are different.
