I've already become an immortal lord, and only now is the spiritual energy reviving?

Boom!

A dark shadow fell from the top of a giant rock by the pool, stirring up clouds of dust.

Before the dust had settled, a majestic figure stood tall and imposing.

His clothes had already ripped at the shoulders, leaving only strips of fabric hanging down, revealing the solid, bluish-black muscles below.

He held the heavy iron sword horizontally with one arm, its blade pointing at Xu Sixing, his gleaming white teeth gleaming coldly.

"A rogue cultivator, Wu Dalang, robbing money."

"A rogue cultivator? A short, ugly man?"

Xu Sixing's eye twitched.

The giant in front of him was eight feet tall, his body surging with blood and energy, as if he had just returned from a bloodbath. His scorching yang energy was so intense that even from three feet away, it still burned the skin.

"If you're going to create a story, at least put some effort into it."

Xu Sixing suppressed the sense of absurdity and his brain worked at lightning speed.

Strange.

The Hua You Tan is extremely poisonous and hidden, a discovery made by Zhu Ming using his knowledge from his lifetime, making it extremely difficult for outsiders to find.

coincidence?

These two, however, happened to occupy a high, blind spot.

His gaze swept over Shu Yan on the giant rock, then fell back on Chai Wu, who was blocking his way, and a chill began to creep into his heart.

Hunting.

【The Crimson Lotus of the Earth】is not an unclaimed treasure, but clearly bait.

The two cleared the area and set up a concealed formation, waiting for greedy people to enter the game.

"I'm the stupid fish that took the bait..."

Xu Sixing smiled wryly and placed his palm on the hilt of the sword.

The hunter has laid his net; the only way to escape unscathed is to fight to the death.

"Trying to rob us? Let's see if you have a good set of teeth!"

Xu Sixing shouted, drew his sword, and transformed into a purple lightning bolt.

In sword-wielding combat, speed is the only way to win.

Even if a physical cultivator has thick skin and tough flesh, they may not be able to defend against a fast sword that can penetrate anywhere!

A flash of lightning, carrying the sword's energy, aimed straight for Chai Wu's throat.

In the next scene, Xu Sixing's eyelids twitched wildly.

The man who called himself "Wu Dalang" didn't dodge at all.

He swung his heavy sword horizontally without any strategy, as if swatting away annoying flies, relying entirely on brute force, which sent bricks flying.

Xu Sixing twisted his body forcefully in mid-air, stepped on the lightning, slid to the side, and flashed his sword.

Ding ding ding ding!

The sound of metal clashing was deafening.

Xu Sixing was terrified.

What kind of physical body is this?

When the natal magic sword struck the opponent's body, it only left a few light white marks, without even scratching the oily skin!

In contrast, Chai Wu grew more courageous with each battle, letting out a low growl as he wielded his heavy sword, impenetrable to wind and rain.

Bang!

A muffled thud was heard.

Ordinary iron could not withstand such a powerful impact; the middle section of the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword shattered, and the broken blade shot out, embedding itself an inch into the stone wall.

"The weapons are destroyed?"

Xu Sixing was overjoyed.

Chai Wu casually tossed aside the broken handle, then slammed his fists together, the sound like muffled thunder.

"It's even easier to use now!"

Before the words were even finished, he charged in with bare hands, accompanied by a fierce wind.

Xu Sixing felt a chill run down his spine.

In this remote place of Immortal Deer Plain, where would a madman who specializes in cultivating the physical body come from?

Body tempering is extremely resource-intensive and the process is incredibly arduous. Apart from the ascetic monks practicing silent meditation at Shangmiao Temple in the west, who would be willing to endure such suffering?

Could this "Wu Dalang" be a renounced monk?

Xu Sixing was forced into a series of retreats when a strange noise suddenly arose above his head.

wow——

The azure water ripples suddenly coalesced into a winding water dragon, silently coiling around Xu Sixing's feet.

"I've been on guard against you for a long time!"

Xu Sixing remained vigilant.

Those above me have always been a major concern.

He swung his sword with a backhand motion, unleashing a thunderous explosion.

"cut!"

Sword energy swept across the land, and the water dragon was instantly severed into several pieces, scattering into countless fragments of pearls.

Just when he thought the crisis was over, Xu Sixing's pupils suddenly contracted.

The thousands of shimmering beads suspended in mid-air each reflected a pure white image.

In the reflection, the women who had never left the arena all raised their swords.

"fall."

A soft murmur.

Thousands of water droplets are like thousands of sword shadows.

Puff, puff!

The protective lightning only lasted for a moment before Xu Sixing groaned, his robes ripped apart, and several bloody gashes appeared on his body, deep enough to expose bone.

"A Thousand Rivers Flowing Moon Reflecting the True Scripture," Splitting Light and Transforming Shadow!

Xu Sixing staggered backward, his face grim.

One side is as solid as a tortoise shell, the other as elusive as a ghost.

Being passively attacked will surely lead to death!

First, eliminate the Dharma!

Instead of retreating, Xu Sixing advanced, unleashing a thick bolt of purple lightning from his palm, forcibly forcing back Chai Wu, who was closing in on him.

Taking advantage of this moment, he transformed into a twisting bolt of lightning, refracting and soaring into the air.

To catch a thief, first catch his king; to kill, first get close to him!

"die!"

Approaching the giant rock, Xu Sixing's five fingers were like hooks, his hand seals changing, and blue-purple lightning accumulated to the extreme in his palm before striking down at the white-clad figure.

The lightning engulfed the target.

Shu Yan's figure swayed, and a clear, cold full moon appeared behind her.

Life is like a flower in a mirror, and fate like the moon reflected in water.

The raging lightning pierced straight through the phantom, struck the empty space, and shattered the rocks.

"Fake?!"

"The Yin-Yang Method?!"

Xu Sixing and Zhu Ming exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Ten feet away, the ground rippled with water, and Shu Yan appeared unharmed beside Chai Wu, handing him a healing pill.

After the pill entered his stomach, Chai Wu's wounds visibly healed, and his aura continued to rise.

Top-tier techniques and combined attack methods...

Only the direct descendants of those immortal sects in the Central Continent with unfathomable depths could control it, so how could it have fallen into this state?

"You two."

Xu Sixing wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, lowered his long sword, and ceased his attack.

"The green hills remain unchanged, and the clear waters flow on forever; I've misjudged you today."

"Since you're after wealth, why risk your life? While the [Azure Blood Earth Core Lotus] is rare, I am quite wealthy. Just be lenient, and the price..."

"Shut him up, keep hitting him."

Shu Yan remained silent throughout, her tone flat, as if she were having a casual conversation.

Chai Wu grinned, his smile growing increasingly ferocious, his eyes filled with excitement.

"Yes, sir!"

Xu Sixing remained silent.

In his mind, Zhu Ming roared and echoed: "Go! Retreat immediately! These two are here solely for slaughter! Do not linger!"

"Too late, old man."

The hesitation in Xu Sixing's eyes vanished.

"Since the situation is hopeless, if we don't fight to the death, we'll both perish here."

He raised his sword, pointing it to the sky.

A crimson-gold pattern resembling a vertical eye appeared between his brows.

"The Thunderous Enlightenment Sword Manual, Awakening of Insects Volume".

"Thunder is the pivot of heaven and earth, and the judge of all things."

"After a long period of dormancy, it is time to emerge. Thunderous energy rises from its source, penetrates the central meridian, and all things are revived."

Countless yin and yang lightning bolts emerged from the void, intertwining and roaming, completely sealing off this cavern.

With each step Xu Sixing took, his robes billowed a little more.

In the end, he was enveloped in the purple-gold thunderous liquid, like a thunder god descending from the heavens to wield punishment.

"Thunder awakens the light, shakes away the turbid air, purifies heaven and earth, drives away evil spirits, and upholds the true principles of law."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ancient sword in his hand was washed by the lightning magma, and the sword body suddenly swelled up, transforming into a giant purple-gold blade wrapped with lightning snakes.

Chai Wu's smile faded, and the playfulness in his eyes vanished.

"This kid's serious."

The two feet stand apart, the old tree's roots intertwined.

The Qi Sea is churning.

In the visualization practice, the illusory image of Mount Sumeru, which has suppressed all ages, solidifies and seems about to emerge.

A thick, earthy yellow spiritual energy gushed from the pores and quickly condensed.

In an instant, Chai Wu was completely covered by a thick suit of armor forged from spiritual power and blood, like a peerless divine general guarding the heavenly gate.

Behind her, Shu Yan silently retreated.

The stagnant water in the pool possesses a spirit; it surges upwards, forming a giant water mirror.

In the mirror, another indifferent "Shu Yan" gradually solidified, her gaze fixed on the present world.

Xu Sixing's finger techniques are ever-changing, complex, and obscure.

"go!"

Pointing at the two people in the distance.

The tip of the blade lifted the lightning ball, detaching it from the blade.

They moved slowly and leisurely.

At the core of the lightning sphere, amidst thunder and lightning, lies a lightning pool on the verge of collapse.

There's no way to avoid it; the only option is to tough it out.

Instead of retreating, Chai Wu advanced, roaring and spreading his arms.

"Well done!"

He slammed his palms together, clamping the lightning ball firmly into his hands!

The white light devoured everything.

The cave was terrifying; ice shards rained down, and the sky seemed to collapse and the earth crack.

Xu Sixing was thrown over by the shockwave, his lightning armor shattered, and he gasped for breath.

"It's done...?"

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

A body that was almost unrecognizable as human stood there.

His arms were completely devoured of flesh and blood, exposing his stark white bones, and his entire body was charred black, bearing the marks of being ravaged by lightning.

however.

The skeleton moved.

On the surface of the jade-colored bones, there were specks of dazzling golden light, and buds were wriggling, with new flesh covering the white bones at an unreasonable speed.

Xu Sixing stood there, despair filling his eyes.

"They're still alive?!"

Before he could react, Chai Wu's massive body swayed and he fell backward.

As it fell, the view behind it was revealed.

There stood two Shu Yan.

They look exactly the same, but their aura is ordinary.

The two women raised their heads simultaneously, and the black and white signs on their left and right sides faded away, transforming into a pale, cold moon.

The world can change.

The damp cave no longer exists.

Beneath my feet, the river surges across a vast expanse; above me, a solitary moon hangs high in the cold sky.

Ahead, a withered tree lies across the river, with a white ape hanging upside down.

It tilted its head, stared at Xu Sixing, and a sinister smile curled at the corner of its mouth.

"The moon's reflection in the water is an illusion..."

Are you real or fake?

With a swift, long reach, he grabbed Xu Sixing's reflection on the water's surface.

work hard.

puff!

The present world.

Xu Sixing was struck as if by a heavy blow. He coughed up blood, his eyes glazed over, and he fell forward.

"Boy! Wake up! Illusion..."

Deep within his consciousness, Master Zhu Ming's shout abruptly ceased.

Xu Sixing pounded the muddy ground until he was completely exhausted and passed out.

When I woke up again, I didn't know how long it had been.

The cold pool was deathly still.

The terrifying men and women from before have long since vanished without a trace.

Only a yellowed letter remained, pressed under his sword.

The handwriting was strong and vigorous, and the ink was still wet.

[Blackwater City, Huayao Pharmacy.]

Xu Sixing's hands trembled as he gripped the letter, his heart screaming:

"An old man? Zhu Ming?!"

The sea of ​​consciousness is empty, with no echo.

......

[A "quasi-Purple Mansion Remnant Soul (Zhu Ming)" has been detected attempting to seize possession of another's body, intending to usurp the acting spiritual platform.]

[Shu Yan and Chai Wu have entered the "Supreme Daoist Lineage," and their souls are imprinted with the seal of the "Dongxuan Mingjian Furnace."]

[Having cleared his karmic obstacles, the remnant soul (Zhu Ming) was taken into the "Furnace Realm".]

[Your Excellency can annihilate them with a single thought, turning them to ashes, or you can "bestow their spirit upon them in the mortal realm," sealing them within a vessel to await their fate.]

"Why would you want to possess an account that's been flagged for anti-addiction measures by the authorities?"

Qingyuan looked at the prompt and couldn't help but chuckle.

"You've walked right into a trap, old man."

"Shall we go outside and talk?"
