Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 361 The Gold Melting Pill is Obtained

Left with no other choice, Zhou Qing had to guide the sword light around the Central Continent, hoping to exhaust its energy.

……

Demon Cloud Ridge.

The Demon Lord did not accompany Lu Mingzhao and the others to inspect the Four Great Dao Palaces.

Although they were cooperating, there was still a difference between immortals and demons, so he naturally dared not go to the other party's territory, lest the other party see the opportunity and kill him.

The Demon Lord returned directly to Demon Cloud Ridge. Thinking that he had failed to eliminate Zhou Qing this time, he was both angry and alarmed.

Zhou Qing's oppressive presence is too strong. As long as he's around, one can't feel at ease. If we fail this time, it will be difficult to scheme against him again in the future.

The Demon Lord, feeling depressed, went to the Demonic Miasma outside Demon Cloud Ridge.

Just as he was about to cross the demonic miasma and return to the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, a golden light suddenly pierced through the sea of ​​clouds and fled into the demonic miasma.

The golden light moved so fast that it almost exceeded the limits of his eyes' ability to track it, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared from the sea of ​​clouds into the thick miasma.

Just as the Demon Lord was wondering, another chilling sword light suddenly burst out of the clouds and chased after the previous golden light.

The Demon Lord recognized the sword light; it was the same sword that Lu Mingzhao had just unleashed with his Azure Frost Sword.

Then he realized that the golden light he had just seen was Zhou Qing.

This was the first time he had witnessed Zhou Qing's escape technique. Now he finally understood why the four major Dao Palaces were so wary of Zhou Qing and insisted on using such a large-scale operation to ambush and kill him.

The Demon Lord was astonished for a moment, then suddenly realized something, his expression changed drastically, and he transformed into a wisp of black smoke and fled towards the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.

As soon as he emerged from the demonic miasma, he saw golden light and sword light darting around Demon Cloud Ridge.

The golden light kept fleeing, while the sword light relentlessly pursued it.

Sometimes, when the golden light disappeared into a mountain peak, a sword light would follow, slicing the peak in two, causing it to collapse from mid-air with a rumble, making the entire earth tremble.

The eight-hundred-mile Demon Cloud Ridge was instantly cleaved into ruins by the sword light. Countless demonic cultivators emerged from the collapsed caves and fled in all directions like headless flies. Some unlucky cultivators happened to run into the sword light.

Regardless of whether he was at the Foundation Establishment stage, the Golden Core stage, or the Nascent Soul stage, anyone whose soul was grazed by the sword light would be instantly annihilated.

The Demon Lord was furious and roared, "Zhou Qing, I will never let you get away with this!"

He immediately entered a state of merging with the Corpse Demon, stirring up the dark mist in the sky and approaching the golden light.

Before the black mist could gather, the golden light flashed and disappeared without a trace. In the blink of an eye, the sword light also vanished, leaving only a gloomy and desolate scene in Demon Cloud Ridge, and the Demon Lord with bloodshot eyes.

……

After leaving Demon Cloud Ridge, the momentum of the sword light was reduced to only half of what it had been before.

Zhou Qing was overjoyed, knowing that his method had worked.

Although the sword light was powerful and could relentlessly track him, it was not a real person after all, so it was inevitably hindered. That's why he was able to use it to wreak havoc on Demon Cloud Ridge, while also consuming most of the sword light.

In that case, the sword light actually became his good helper.

With that thought in mind, Zhou Qing changed direction and sped towards the Glazed Dojo.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the Liuli Dojo.

The Liuli Daoist Temple had previously lost its Xuanxuan Ancestor to Zhou Qing, and of the three powerful Nascent Soul experts, Guo Songshou, Ouyang Qian, and Tan Haotian, only Guo Songshou remained. Therefore, the position of Dao Master naturally fell to him.

Today, Guo Songshou returned from the Four Great Dao Palaces with the Melting Gold Pill. Just as he flew near the Glazed Dojo, he suddenly saw a golden light rushing towards him.

Guo Songshou was startled and quickly dodged. The golden light brushed past him and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Guo Songshou was still in shock and was about to carefully discern the origin of the golden light when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Before he could react, a sword light sliced ​​him in half at the waist, annihilating his soul as well.

Guo Songshou's astonished expression was still lingering on his face when his two bodies fell downwards.

With a flash of golden light, Zhou Qing appeared beside him, caught the corpse, and then reached into his arms and found a storage bag.

Zhou Qing opened the storage bag and his face lit up with joy. But his joy froze as he transformed into golden light and disappeared into the distance.

The sword light, carrying a heavy killing intent, rushed back.

Zhou Qing traversed tens of thousands of miles with his sword light, cutting through several mountain peaks along the way, until he finally exhausted the sword light completely.

At this point, Zhou Qing's spiritual energy was almost completely depleted, making it nearly impossible for him to maintain the Golden Light Escape Technique.

This made him feel a chill.

Lu Laoguai's single sword strike nearly exhausted his spiritual energy; who knows what the consequences would have been if he had unleashed several more.

Will he still be able to escape then?

Zhou Qing pondered for a long time with a solemn expression, then suddenly his brows relaxed. He thought to himself, if Old Monster Lu really unleashed several sword lights to kill him, he would fly straight overseas to find that super monster that was hundreds of miles in size. That monster should be able to consume a lot of sword light.

However, this is not a common method; it would be best to find a way to counter the sword light.

Fortunately, Lu Laoguai probably knew that sword light had no eyes and could be easily manipulated by him, which is why he used sword light cautiously to deal with him.

After thinking haphazardly for a while, Zhou Qing reshaped his physical body and landed on a nearby mountain, intending to cultivate for a while to recover his energy before returning to the Western Continent.

He received ten Gold Melting Pills from Guo Songshou this time, which, although not many, was still some consolation.

Looking around from the mountaintop, Zhou Qing discovered a Taoist temple on another mountain about ten miles away. The temple was filled with the smoke of incense, creating a picturesque scene.

He took out several relay stations from his storage bag and launched them into the air to investigate the situation at the Taoist temple.

Since he wants to cultivate here, he naturally needs to understand the situation in the vicinity.

The spiritual pressure situation near the Taoist temple was quickly transmitted back to Zhou Qing's eyes.

The situation discovered by the relay station surprised Zhou Qing.

The relay station's transmitted view showed a dense array of red dots, indicating that there were many cultivators there, probably close to a thousand.

Among them, there were dozens of Golden Core cultivators and no less than a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, but no Nascent Soul cultivators.

Generally speaking, an ordinary Golden Core sect is considered powerful if it has two or three Golden Core cultivators. Unless it is a Nascent Soul sect, it is impossible for dozens of Golden Core cultivators to gather together.

It's extremely strange that there are so many Golden Elixir cultivators in the Taoist temple, yet no Nascent Soul True Lord is in charge.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Qing decided to go ahead and investigate the situation.

Since he wasn't in a hurry, Zhou Qing didn't use his sword to fly there. Instead, he walked slowly, taking out a few spirit stones from his storage bag and quickly absorbing them into his dantian to replenish his energy.

Zhou Qing walked for half a day before finally climbing the other mountain peak along the mountain path.

In the ritual performance area in front of the Taoist temple, many young cultivators were watching a male and female cultivator perform magic.

The two cultivators, a man and a woman, were quite different. The man was imposing and had the air of a righteous sect, while the woman was young and beautiful, with a hint of arrogance in her eyes that made people hesitant to approach her.

The two men and women were clearly the leaders of the young cultivators, and the surrounding cultivators watched them sparring with great interest, occasionally letting out a burst of amazement.
