Ziwei Immortal Path

Chapter 155 The building will collapse

Therefore, cultivating spiritual consciousness is also the top priority for cultivators in the foundation-building stage. Its importance to cultivators is no less than strengthening the Dao foundation wheel and refining their own natal magic weapon. After all, only by cultivating a strong spiritual consciousness can there be a possibility of cultivating the Purple Mansion Divine Consciousness in the future.

Xu Boyang thought about it casually and realized that there were a lot of things waiting for him to do, which made him feel a little headache. This was just the internal factors, while the external factors were completely different.

At this point, the Tianyuan Liujia has become somewhat useless to Xu Boyang.

The reason why he came to participate in the Taihe Jingwu Banquet was all for the Lihuo Shenyuan Pill. He never expected that after learning about the undercurrent of Qingshen, he would participate in the Tianyuan level competition. A feathered star official from "Langfeng Peak" opened the formation, attracted the star position for a moment, stole a trace of immortal energy, and unexpectedly helped him successfully build the foundation of immortality.

But the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. As for Yuchuan's current situation, it is complicated and unpredictable. Xu Boyang is hesitant for a while about whether to leave or stay, and is caught in a dilemma.

Staying to compete for the first place in Tianyuan Liujia would actually do more harm than good to him at the moment.

After all, going to "Langfeng Peak" is still risky. Not to mention the fact that he is carrying rare treasures, the turmoil in Qingshen is inevitable, and "Langfeng Peak" has become the center of the storm of fighting. Instead of being implicated for no reason, it is better to go back to his own Qinlong Mountain and develop slowly.

As for the benefits of going to "Langfeng Peak", as one builds up the foundation of immortality, the advantages have gradually weakened. In the final analysis, it is because the entanglements are far-reaching and there are too many unknown variables. Not to mention the turbulence in the future, let's take a step back and say that the "Zhanming Zhenren" of Qingshen and the feathered priests are just trapped, not dead. What if they come back?
If you possess a rare treasure, aren't you walking into a trap?

Of course, if you don't win first place, it is still worth considering to strive for a place in the second or third place of Tianyuan. After all, becoming the chief of an immortal sect, a disciple of a feathered priest, or the guardian of a town are also very good choices.

At least having the guidance of seniors and the support of peers is much better than fighting alone. Although there are some big problems, such as power struggles, and there is still the risk of being controlled by others, it is also a bright path for personal cultivation.

We can't think that all the Huangting Taoist priests are so bad. Xu Boyang believes that among the many Taoist priests in Qingshen, there are still some who are just and compassionate to all living beings. For example, Chen Baochong's master Pei Shaoyao seems to be an upright person.

Having said that, Xu Boyang still has feelings for Qingshen. After all, this is where he has lived since he was a child. Since he embarked on the path of immortality, he has more or less met some peers here. Among these people, he considers some of them to be friends.

Although Qingshen's harshness towards the cultivators was almost oppression, the cultivators themselves lived a rich and comfortable life. At least it was not as chaotic as the outside world, where their lives could be in danger at any time.

It’s a pity that Xu Boyang knows too many inside stories. Now the entire Qingshen is without a real person, just like a boat without a mooring, drifting in the wind and rain, giving people a feeling that the building is about to collapse and is in danger.

The Ding family is ready to make a move, plotting something illicit, while the Jiang family turns a blind eye. It's unknown what their plans are, but everything is undercurrent.

The sky gradually brightened and the sun was at noon. After much thought, Xu Boyang still felt that it was not safe to stay in Qingshen. Now that he had arranged for his family to leave Qingshen, there would be pros and cons in competing for the Tianyuan Liujia. Once there was a risk, he would probably be doomed.

If he wasn't careful, he would most likely be dragged into the vortex of power struggle. After all, Jiang Taiqing's alarmist words that night were still ringing in his ears.

As a dignified Huangting Taoist priest, he would never speak nonsense.

“A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and a wise man does not fall into an overturned nest…”

When Xu Boyang thought of this, he made up his mind and got up to tidy up the dormitory. He would leave Yuchuan today, give up the subsequent Tianyuan-level competitions at the Taihe Jingwu Banquet, return to Fengqing, meet up with his cousin and Langmo Changge, and take his father and uncle away.

He has a firm heart for Taoism. The Six Jias of Tianyuan and the disciples of the Immortal Sect are all fleeting and not worth mentioning at all. He agrees deeply with what Jiang Taiqing said at the top of Yunxiao Peak. For a cultivator, staying alive is more important than anything else!

"Since Heaven has arranged for me to pick up such a rare treasure, and I have also made up my mind to embark on the path of cultivating immortality, if I don't use it to achieve immortality, wouldn't I be wasting this great opportunity?"

He quickly cleaned up the dormitory and checked carefully to make sure nothing was left out before going out and flying towards the south gate of Taihe Academy.

Just as he reached the door, he was bumped into by Jiang Shanzhou, the head of Taihe Academy.

"What? You want to give up the competition? Have you thought it through?"

Jiang Shanzhou frowned, couldn't help but shook his sleeves, and touched his hooked nose with his fingers.

He said this coldly without saying anything, his eyes like lightning, he looked up and down at this familiar looking foundation building cultivator, he tried to recall but couldn't remember where he had seen him before, after thinking for a moment, he said coldly,

"Although the Taihe Jingwu Banquet allows cultivators to voluntarily withdraw from the competition, this is beyond my authority. If you wish to withdraw, you must go to the Immortal Sect's Yunxiao Mountain and find the chief review officer to submit your resignation. You may only leave after receiving a letter of approval. This is the convention."

Xu Boyang's expression changed slightly and he asked:

"I don't know about this. May I ask, Chief Jiang, which chief official should I contact to submit my resignation?"

"Any of the nine chief nuclear officers are qualified."

Jiang Shanzhou looked cold and turned to a monk from the academy behind him and said,
"You, go with him."

The monk from the academy beside him bowed and agreed. Jiang Shanzhou glanced at Xu Boyang, said nothing, and flew away.

"Senior, please follow me."

Facing the young monk's extended invitation, Xu Boyang remained expressionless, nodded slightly, and followed him slowly towards Yunxiao Mountain, but a wave of emotion was brewing in his heart:
"This is a bit troublesome. I can't let Ding Tianshi know that I'm leaving. Otherwise, he will be suspicious when he sees me suddenly building my foundation and abandoning the competition. I can only find a way to find Chen Baochong to deal with this matter. If not, Pei Yansu will do. As long as it's not Ding Tianshi, it will be much better."

He casually scanned with his spiritual sense and found that the scholar leading the way was only at the seventh level of the Condensation Stage. He was determined to leave and he couldn't stop him. Unfortunately, the entire Yuchuan City was covered by the Purple Mansion Array, the "Tian Gang Di Sha Zhen Wu Array". If he didn't have the Immortal Sect's token to break the array, he would have no way to get out.

Unless you grab a token to break the formation.

But this method is too stupid and will put oneself in danger. At this moment, the entire Yuchuan City is calm and peaceful, and one cannot seek death.

But this trip is risky. It would be troublesome if he really met Ding Tianshi. Xu Boyang's mind raced, and he thought about it over and over again, but he could not find any proper excuse to successfully explain his behavior of giving up the game and going home. He felt a little anxious for a moment.

"Senior, please forgive me for being so presumptuous and saying one more thing. You finally reached the star position of the Tiangang Formation. It is an opportunity that many people can only dream of. Why did you suddenly give up? I, I really can't understand..."

The young monk in front was riding on a flying shuttle, slowing down the speed of his flying device. He behaved respectfully and spoke politely, lowering his voice and asking carefully.

Xu Boyang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he pursed his lips and replied with a smile:
"My fellow Daoist from the Academy, to be honest, I suddenly had an epiphany yesterday and established my foundation. At this critical juncture, if I were to compete again, I'm afraid my foundation will be unstable. If anything goes wrong, it will ruin my life and I'll regret it."

"Senior, have you established your foundation in the academy dormitory?"

The young monk was inexplicably surprised and somewhat unbelievable, then his face showed envy and he couldn't help but said,
"Senior, do you have a Divine Yuan Pill?"

Seeing Xu Boyang remained silent, he scratched his head and smiled awkwardly,

"What you said, Senior, is quite reasonable. I heard from Master that the foundation of Taoism is related to one's lifelong practice, so it cannot be taken lightly." "Yes."

Xu Boyang nodded lightly and said no more.

This reply was very reasonable and did not have any major flaws. After being reminded by the young monk, Xu Boyang suddenly came up with an excuse and after thinking for a moment, he had already made up his mind.

Just do it.

Instead of hesitating, it is better to tell the truth directly. Anyway, the fact of building the foundation has really happened. At this moment, Ding Tianshi still doesn't know his plan. His excuse of worrying that the fight will damage his foundation is reasonable. I think he should not be suspicious.

Anyway, he also believed that he was a descendant of the "Langfeng Peak" sect, and that ten years of foundation building was not much different from that of a feathered disciple, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

When Xu Boyang had no more doubts and followed the young monk out of Taihe Academy, after a while, two streams of light suddenly flew up from the south of the academy and stopped in the air. They were Jiang Yuanli and Jiang Shanzhou.

Jiang Yuanli looked at the misty clouds over Yunxiao Mountain in the distance and asked:
"Shan Zhou, you said a guest from the Ding family wanted to abandon the competition and leave the city?"

"Uncle, I just asked the monk holding a pen in the academy. He is a guest official of the Ding family, from Fengqing Town, and his name is Xu Boyang. There is no way he is wrong!"

Jiang Shanzhou was a generation younger than Jiang Yuanli. He looked respectful and whispered in his ear.

"Humph!"

Jiang Yuanli snorted heavily, holding the long sword at his waist, his eyes full of murderous intent.
"This bunch of traitors have finally lost their temper! I've already laid a tight net throughout Yuchuan City. A mere guest official in the early stages of foundation building wants to go out and tip off the enemy? Ding Tianshi is dreaming!"

"Don't worry! Success or failure depends on this day. If he dares to come back, you will kill him without mercy!"

"Yes, uncle!"

After reaching Yunxiao Mountain, Xu Boyang saw that the young cultivator did not fly towards the temple in the mountainside, but went straight to the peak. His expression changed slightly and he asked:

"Fellow Daoist from the Academy, I wonder where the nine chief nuclear officials are?"

The young monk smiled and said:

"Senior, have you forgotten that today is the day of 'Tian Gang Enlightenment'? It is almost noon now, and the nine chief nuclear officials must be at the peak to witness it."

Xu Boyang nodded. He suddenly established his foundation yesterday and practiced it for a whole day and night. As for this "Tian Gang Enlightenment", he forgot about it for a while because it had nothing to do with him.

The two of them moved forward again. There was a maze on Yunxiao Mountain, which was shrouded in fog all year round, so their flying speed was not fast. Xu Boyang followed slowly behind, thinking that he had not used the [Demon Lord's Divine Consciousness] since he established his foundation, so he took advantage of the flight to see where Ding Tianshi and others were.

The spiritual consciousness arrived in an instant, and the speed was much faster than before. The clouds and fog dispersed, and the Yunxiao Mountain was in full view. As expected, nine main core officials including Ding Tianshi were everywhere in the sky above the peak. In addition, the two feathered masters Jiang Taiqing and Ding Qingliao and the Shaozai star official were also there.

The thirty-six Tiangang constellations still surrounded the top of Yunxiao Mountain like a golden hoop.

The thirty-six star positions were all filled with cultivators. A quick glance revealed many familiar figures, including Lin Huaisheng, Zhao Jiuchang, Zhang Guanzhi, Zeng Shuming and others.

Seeing that Zeng Shuming and Zhang Guanzhi had survived the first round of Tianyuan and were able to come to participate in Tiangang enlightenment, Xu Boyang couldn't help but be happy for them. But when he took a look, he didn't see Xu Boqing, feeling a little regretful, and couldn't help but use his spiritual sense to scan them one by one.

Suddenly, an old voice shouted loudly, and then Jiang Taiqing was seen hanging high in the air, looking down from above. A red light flashed on his hand, and a red light hit the ancient maple tree on the top of the mountain.

In an instant, the leaves of the ancient maple tree turned from gold to red. Xu Boyang only felt that the pale yellow light array above the entire Yuchuan City suddenly changed color, and a pale red light shield rose in an instant. He couldn't help but said with a palpitation:
"Is this the Zhuling Limingdong Fire Formation that covers the entire Yuchuan County?"

After looking for a while, I found that the "Tian Gang Di Sha Zhen Wu Formation" was still there, but it was not very conspicuous under the red light. This large formation was wrapped in a small formation, relying on each other, it was really a double defense, really powerful!
When Xu Boyang thought of this, he did not pause and used his spiritual sense to search for Xu Boqing's figure.

Unexpectedly, Xu Boqing didn't find it, but he discovered Fei Wenyu. It was amazing that he could pass the first round and sit on the star position of the top 36 Tiangang!
"This is what we call a ray of hope after a dark period. Unexpectedly, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. He missed out on the Six Dings of the Earthly Yuan, but in the end, he was able to sit on the Heavenly Gang!"

Xu Boyang couldn't help but smile, and scanned the other people with his spiritual sense.

Suddenly!
Pupils contracted, so creepy!
Xu Boyang's face turned pale, and he stopped for a moment, stopping his ascent. The young monk from the academy in front of him noticed something was wrong, turned around, and suddenly felt the sky and the earth go dark, and he found himself falling into the abyss. He felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, and then his eyes rolled back and he lost consciousness.

Xu Boyang acted decisively like the wind, using the [Demon Lord's Divine Consciousness] to control his sea of ​​consciousness, and used a Taoist free-hand move to knock him out instantly.

He collected the flying shuttle floating in the air and carefully checked his storage bag, but did not find the token to break the formation. He sighed softly and put him into the [Yin Shen Buddha Shrine].

The reason why Xu Boyang suddenly took action was because he discovered something extremely terrifying!

He suddenly discovered a woman in white with a familiar face, sitting on the light array with her hands clasped together!

The woman had a graceful figure and was beautiful like a flower, with willow-shaped eyebrows and cherry lips. Even the Taoist flowing cloud robe could not hide her curvy body. She sat cross-legged, looking very stylish!
Xu Boyang only took a glance at her. Her appearance remained the same, but her aura was so familiar that he knew who she was in an instant!
One of the three great masters of the Three Thousand Academy, the leader of the Luqi tribe of the Black Tooth Ten Thousand Mountains in the Southern Wilderness, Lu Qiling!
Xu Boyang felt a chill all over his body in an instant, as if he was in a biting cold wind. If this evil woman was here, Dongguo Di Yun was probably also here!

He knew that the reason he could see the aura of the deer demon was because of the special effect of the [Demon-Hidden Mirror]. She must not be like that at the moment, otherwise how could she escape the eyes of the feathered master?
But why hadn't I noticed it before? Tianyuan-level cultivators had already explored it before. Could it be because my own cultivation was not enough?
Xu Boyang was full of doubts, so he found a hidden valley in the mountains nearby. He held his breath and concentrated his mind, using his spiritual sense to explore again. After a quick scan, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

As expected, Dongguo Di Yun sat on the light array with impunity, his eyes lowered and his brows drooped.

"But why does he have the aura of a Taoist cultivator, and is only at the ninth level of Condensation?"

Xu Boyang was suspicious, and suddenly realized something. Three big words immediately appeared in his mind:
"Transformation Pill!"

Yes, it must be the Ding family’s transformation pill!

This transformation pill is too amazing. It can not only change one's appearance and figure, but even one's cultivation and realm!
For a moment, Xu Boyang broke out in a cold sweat. He used his spiritual sense to investigate carefully and found that there were indeed several extremely abnormal people. Although he had never seen them before, he could tell at a glance that these people were obviously not Taoist disciples.

Because under the observation of the [Demon Lord's Divine Consciousness], the aura of these people is completely different from that of the cultivators around them!
Suddenly, a tall, stern-looking man in a dark green robe opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly, as if he could spot Xu Boyang, and glared at him fiercely!

Xu Boyang was instantly frightened, goose bumps appeared all over his body, and he shuddered!
