Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Forgot to Take on Disciples

Chapter 85 With the strength to uproot mountains

The Dog-Headed Taoist didn't even use his magic weapon.

He stretched out his dog paw to block in front of him.

His dog claws were his strongest magic weapon, and he used his body as a weapon to refine it.

This is also why he was confident in challenging Yang Jian to a duel at his self-imposed level.

But Yang Jian's swift and fierce attack made him quite uneasy.

He hesitated whether to restore his cultivation level and fight the enemy with greater magical power.

Before he could hesitate, the blade was already upon him, and behind it was Yang Jian's bright red vertical eye between his brows.

The madness revealed in his vertical eyes sent a sudden chill down his spine.

But it was too late to regret it.

"Click~"

A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out.

The three-pointed double-edged sword charged forward relentlessly, severing the dog-like Taoist's claws and then slamming down heavily on his head.

The next moment, it split in two.

The foul-smelling dog blood splattered everywhere.

The onlookers quickly moved away.

A half-transparent phantom appeared on the dog's corpse.

It looked exactly like the dog-headed Taoist, and it was the primordial spirit of the dog-headed Taoist.

The phantom figure looked terrified. Yang Jian's immense strength, and the weight and sharpness of the three-pointed double-edged sword, filled him with dread: "What exactly are you?!"

Before Yang Jian could respond, the illusory figure quickly transformed into a streak of white light and fled.

He was left with only his primordial spirit, and eighty percent of his original strength had been lost.

He was terrified that Yang Jian would strike again and destroy his soul and spirit.

"I am Yang Jian, the True Lord of Dog Slaughter!"

This statement was not made by Yang Jian.

Instead, it was his inner demonic eye playing a trick on him.

Yang Jian resisted the temptation to scatter the opponent's soul and absorb the essence with his demonic eye, watching helplessly as the dog-like Taoist's primordial spirit escaped.

Suddenly, the weapon in his hand trembled, and the flesh and blood on the ground were an immense temptation to him.

He realized that the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand was forged using the method of refining the Blood Transformation Divine Sword, and it had the ability to absorb flesh and blood.

He released the restriction on his magical power and saw streams of blood rising from the dog demon's corpse, being absorbed by the three-pointed double-edged sword.

Then a pleasant sensation came over him, and wisps of vital energy emerged from the three-pointed double-edged sword and rushed into Yang Jian's body.

It was astonishing that the weapon was feeding back into the body.

However, blood and qi alone, without essence and spirit, cannot power the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

Even the Demon Eye could do nothing about it.

The onlookers only then came to their senses.

Looking at the gleaming weapon in Yang Jian's hand, a look of shock appeared on his face.

A series of gasps of astonishment rippled through the crowd.

The crowd possessed profound cultivation, and at this moment, they inhaled deeply, creating a vacuum-like atmosphere in the arena.

"It's actually a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure! No wonder the Dog Taoist was defeated so quickly."

"This top-grade acquired spiritual treasure doesn't have a strong aura, so it's obviously only been cultivated recently. I think Yang Jian must have been born with divine strength, using his physical strength to break that dog Taoist's bones and cleave him in two with a single stroke."

"This child is truly extraordinary; no wonder the Golden Spirit Mother was tempted to take him as a disciple!"

"Don't forget, Wen Zhong is also a formidable figure; there are no weaklings among the disciples of the Golden Spirit Mother!"

"It wasn't that Dog Daoist was weak, but rather that he underestimated his opponent and didn't go all out; otherwise, he wouldn't have been defeated in a single blow!"

Yu Hua was completely taken aback when Yang Jian shattered the dog-like Taoist's physical body with a single blow.

My heart remained unsettled for a long time.

Thinking back to how he had just been trying to persuade him not to agree to the challenge from the Dog Taoist.

Right now, he just wants to crawl into a hole and disappear.

"Buzz~"

Yang Jian's arm jerked, and the bloodstains on his three-pointed double-edged sword were flung away.

He looked at the crowd and said, "Three days. In three days, I will give you all an explanation. If anyone is unwilling, they can follow the example of the Dog Daoist and fight me! If you are unwilling to suppress your cultivation level, then you can spar with my nephew."

No one answered.

No one was confident that they could fight Yang Jian at the same level.

At the same time, they also feared the ferocity of the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade.

The dog-like Taoist who had been stirring up trouble had escaped, and none of the immortals were willing to step forward for the time being, so they could only suppress their resentment for the time being.

As the crowd gradually dispersed.

Yang Jian finally felt relieved.

Yu Hua asked, "Junior Uncle, how can we find out the cause of Bi Yun Tong's death in three days?"

"Let's take it one step at a time. Do you know where the body of the Jade Cloud Boy is?"

Yu Hua shook his head: "I don't know, but I know the location of the cave of Master Shiji, the master of Biyun Tongzi. I suppose he should know something."

Shi Ji did not live in the Star-Picking Tower.

Its cave dwelling is quite far from the Star-Picking Tower.

Yu Hua rode the escape light, carrying Yang Jian, and flew for half an hour before arriving at his cave dwelling.

The two had just landed.

Then a beautiful woman came to greet them.

She had a slender waist, a fair complexion, long hair tied up, delicate limbs, and a large, full bust.

He said in a familiar tone, "I had long heard that Senior Sister Jinling had taken in a handsome disciple. Seeing him today, I know it was true."

After receiving confirmation from Yu Hua.

Yang Jian bowed deeply and said, "Yang Jian greets his Martial Uncle Shiji."

Shi Ji did not conceal her cultivation level; she was clearly at the Celestial Immortal realm. No wonder she did not go to the Treasure Cave to assist in refining the treasures.

Shi Ji waved her hand to help Yang Jian up, casually placing her fingers on his arm: "Nephew, no need for formalities. I came out as soon as I sensed your escape light. Seeing how handsome you are, I guessed you must be Senior Sister Jin Ling's disciple. After all, you can't find another one as handsome as you on this island."

As soon as Shi Ji said this, her expression changed, and she quickly added, "There is no one else besides the leader."

She has a strong will to survive.

The moment the words left his mouth, he sensed a chilling aura emanating from the sword.

He immediately realized that the Tongtian Sect Leader's gaze had been fixed on Yang Jian.

She quickly composed herself, withdrawing her slender fingers from Yang Jian's arm, and continued to ask, "Nephew, did you come here for my little maid, Biyun?"

Yang Jian nodded in agreement.

Shi Ji's eyes immediately filled with tears, and she was about to cry: "Ever since three hundred years ago, when Senior Brother Duobao told all the disciples of Jin'ao Island to make full use of their own value and become self-reliant, Bi Yun has been living alone outside. Being far away, her heart has become wild. When the child grew up, she was unwilling to listen to her master. She thought she had some ideas and recklessly stood out, which led to today's disaster."

Yesterday, Biyun Tong'er came to see me, but she didn't say anything. I just asked her as usual about how my cultivation was going. I didn't think much of it at first, but yesterday Biyun Tong'er seemed preoccupied, and her words sounded like she was giving her last words, so I followed her closely. Who knew...

Shi Ji paused abruptly at this point.

"Who knows what?"

Yang Jian asked hurriedly.

Shi Ji blushed, her eyes filled with shyness and sorrow: "Who knew my boy would go to such a place! Although I have cultivated for thousands of years, I have never seen such a scene. I was frightened and came back. Today I heard the news of Bi Yun's death. If I had known that Bi Yun would suffer such a calamity, I would have brought him back no matter what."

That kind of place!

Which place?

Yang Jian looked puzzled.

Yu Hua whispered in Yang Jian's ear that there were also some cultivators on Jin'ao Island who practiced the path of dual cultivation.

In order to better cultivate, he openly opened a business on Jin'ao Island, which was full of cultivators who followed the path of union, both yin and yang.

That place was called Baiyunjian (White Clouds).

Yang Jian realized something was wrong. Biyun Tongzi had stepped forward in front of everyone yesterday, which could be described as a brush with death.

But he still had the interest to seek pleasure?

Yang Jian sensed something unusual.

"Uncle-Master, did Biyun Tongzi go alone?"

Shi Ji slowly shook her head.

Biyun Cave.

The cave dwelling was cramped and small.

Chaos.

It only accommodates a stone bed underneath for meditation and rest.

Yang Jian was alone inside, examining the items he had left behind.

Yu Hua stood guard outside the cave.

On the stone bed, there was a deep, dark hole, where a faint trace of sword energy still lingered.

Clearly, Biyun Tongzi was killed by a sword while lying down.

Do immortals sleep?

Yang Jian was puzzled and frowned. Apart from this hole, there were no other clues at all.

The soundproofing array in the cave was crudely made.

An indescribable sound came from the neighboring cave.

It disrupted his thoughts.

Yang Jian pounded on the wall forcefully, signaling the other side to quiet down, but the people next door only became more excited!

Got it!

I've become the one adding to the fun.

Yang Jian cursed inwardly and casually picked up dozens of jade slips from the stone bed.

The rule of the ancient immortals and gods is about to collapse.

What evil deeds did the ancient gods and immortals commit?

Ancient immortals and gods have occupied blessed lands; where should we go from here?

Suffer today, enjoy blessings tomorrow.

On the Many Benefits of Equality Among All Beings

Among the dozens of jade slips, there was not a single one about cultivation techniques.

All the discussions revolve around how ancient immortals and gods, relying on their longevity and high cultivation, occupied blessed lands and grottoes, leaving many newly emerging Jie Sect immortals to cower on Jin'ao Island.

Biyun Tongzi had clearly read it many times, and had marked it with various personal opinions.

The final part of the jade slip indicates the creator of this content.

It was none other than the Holy Mother of Fire.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit was a direct disciple of Daoist Duobao, and belonged to the third generation of disciples along with Yang Jian.

When asked, Yu Hua explained that this item was already a common item among the third and fourth generation disciples of the Jie Sect.

Yang Jian sensed something unusual about this; the Jie Sect was deliberately inducing its disciples to hate the ancient immortals and gods. No wonder Wen Zhong would plot like that.

But this does not help in finding the killer.

I wanted to ask if they had heard anything next door and if they could give me any clues, but the sausage-making frenzy next door never stopped.

The harder he knocked, the more excited the other person became.

Left with no other choice, he decided to first examine the body of Biyun Tongzi, hoping to find some clues there.

At the same time, he entrusted Yu Hua to invite the immortal who had gone to Baiyunjian to make merry with Biyun Tongzi yesterday.

Yang Jian arrived at a mountainside on Jin'ao Island. After explaining his purpose to the guards, they let him in.

The mountainside was used to house the disciples of the Jie Sect who had passed away peacefully; most of them were mortals who had not yet become immortals.

The body of Biyun Tongzi was placed in the most conspicuous position.

Yang Jian deactivated the protective array around the corpse and was shocked to discover a bloody hole in the center of its forehead, near the Nigongwan point.

Strands of sword energy emanated from the blood hole, the sharp Geng metal sword energy spreading out from the blood hole between his eyebrows.

The surrounding stone walls were cut by the sword energy, and immediately bursts of stone dust fell down.

Yang Jian felt a sharp pain all over his body and was startled.

No wonder everyone thought it was the Golden Spirit Mother who made the move; such sharp Gengjin sword energy is something that Jin'ao Island would really have a hard time finding a second person to use.

If Yang Jian hadn't trusted the Golden Spirit Mother, he would have thought that she was secretly harboring resentment and had secretly killed Biyun Tongzi.

He asked the Taoist guarding the cave for Biyun Tongzi's personal belongings, but the guard said that Biyun Tongzi was brought there with nothing on him.

Yang Jian then asked who had brought Biyun Boy here, and the Taoist priest in charge said it was the corpse brought by Lady Shiji.

Next, Yang Jian was preparing to go to Baiyunjian to investigate.

He originally thought that Baiyunjian might not be related to Biyun Tongzi's death, but at this moment he still hadn't found any clues, so he could only go and see if he could get lucky.

Just as they emerged from the cave, they encountered Yu Hua flying in with a young Taoist priest.

"Junior Uncle, this is the fellow who went to Baiyun Realm with Biyun Boy yesterday. His Daoist name is Songhe."

Yang Jian clasped his hands in a salute, but before he could ask any questions...

"I suspect that Fellow Daoist Biyun's death is related to his master, Lady Shiji! Yesterday, Fellow Daoist Biyun felt that his days were numbered, so he asked me to go with him to the White Clouds for some fun."

Songhe Daoist made a startling statement, continuing, "Fellow Daoist Biyun said that Lady Shiji is about to be entrusted with an important task by Senior Brother Duobao of the Jie Sect. However, he offended the Golden Spirit Mother and many second-generation disciples yesterday. Lady Shiji might secretly kill him to appease the anger of the second-generation disciples, so that Senior Brother Duobao can continue to entrust Lady Shiji with important tasks. Moreover, yesterday, on our way back with Fellow Daoist Biyun, we discovered traces of Lady Shiji following us."

The previous two chapters were in the wrong order, but the content is now correct. The chapter titles cannot be changed at this time.

I was worried that deleting chapters would waste everyone's money, so I didn't delete them and just replaced the content.
