Starting with warding off evil and disaster, one can ascend to immortality after countless tribulati

"Haha, that's ambitious. Let's see what happens in the end."

After a few unrestrained laughs, Master Tianlu strolled over and retrieved several precious treasures.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he placed them all into the cultivation secret realm.

A moment later, golden light suddenly appeared in the sky above the Refining Realm. Sensing this strong aura, everyone immediately rushed towards the light.

The previous radiance was only purple, yet the resources were so abundant.

This time, with all the gold and glitter, I wonder what kind of reward I'll receive.

With this thought in mind, everyone was very excited and hurried towards the direction of the golden light.

Jiang Ming frowned, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

His luck remained extremely bad; the golden light appeared a full hundred miles away from him.

It would take at least an hour to get there, and by the time he arrived, it would probably be too late.

Despite some uncertainty, people are willing to die for money, just as birds die for food.

Faced with such a huge lure of profit, Jiang Ming finally couldn't resist making his move.

Going there might not get you any resources, but not going there guarantees you won't get any resources. This is a very easy question to answer!

After calculating for a moment, Tuoba Youyou turned pale, let out a breath, and looked on in astonishment. "This time, there are so many variables."

Whether we can win or not, I don't know. Oh well, let's give it our all. I'll go with you.

If we really encounter danger, it can be of some help.

"Don't worry, with my current cultivation level, there are very few people here who can defeat me. As long as we don't provoke the crowd, we can at least win a treasure."

"I will do my best to get you the Mystic Spirit Ointment." Combining his own strength, Jiang Ming spoke eloquently, actively dispelling the girl's concerns.

Nodding, Tuoba Youyou's eyes were filled with emotion. After a moment of thought, she said solemnly, "If I can really get the Xuanling Ointment, even if I leave the cultivation secret realm directly, I will still have made a fortune."

With this item, I can begin to refine the second image of the city wall.

With the help of the earth's energy provided by the family, it's not impossible to advance all the way to the eighth rank.

I've heard that after reaching the eighth rank, a cultivator enters a completely new world.

This is a rare opportunity, so Junior Brother Jiang should do his best to acquire as many useful resources as possible.

We must improve our cultivation as quickly as possible and strive to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage within our lifetime!

With a smile, Jiang Ming agreed and led her straight to the place where the golden light suddenly appeared.

At this moment, more than ten cultivators have gathered here.

Their cultivation levels were varied, with a few late-stage cultivators and most of the rest being mid-stage cultivators. At this moment, they were divided into four factions.

They gathered together, each sticking to their own arguments, vying for resources.

"We clearly saw this thing first, so it's a bit much for you to interfere like this."

"Besides, there are six treasures here. You should at least let me take one." The Qingfu Sect disciple's face was somewhat unpleasant as he faced the Five Spirits Sect's domineering attitude.

Filled with dissatisfaction, he immediately rushed over with his fellow disciples the moment he saw the resources. However, the Five Spirits Sect disciples who arrived later blocked their way.

Because of the brief argument, other sects also arrived at this moment.

With far more monks than meat available, and seeing that they wouldn't get anything good if things continued like this, the Qingfu Sect disciples became anxious and angrily questioned them.

"How dare a weakling touch these treasures? You piece of trash, if you really fought me, you wouldn't even stand a chance."

I advise you to think it through. Although dying in the training secret realm will not affect your real life.

However, after this major defeat, your Dao heart will more or less suffer serious problems.

I'm warning you one last time, don't stand in my way again, or I'll show you what I'm made of.

The well-dressed disciples of the Five Spirits Sect had domineering expressions on their faces, as if this outcome was only to be expected.

"Go to hell, they really think they're something special. The Five Spirits Sect has been arrogant for too long, do they really think there aren't any other sects that can do this?"

"If I go all out, the outcome is uncertain. Let's have a match today!" said one of the disciples, both of whom were from the younger generation.

The disciples of Qingfu Sect could not bear such humiliation. Their faces turned red with anger, and they were ready to fight to the death.

"Our Dao Asks Sect's bottom line is a treasure. If you're not even willing to part with a single treasure, then let's not talk anymore and just fight to determine who's superior."

Seeing that the situation was gradually becoming chaotic, the leader of Wendao Sect immediately made a statement.

They revealed their bottom line, and at the same time, tensions were high, with both sides ready to fight at any moment.

"The same goes for the Wanfa Sect; they must acquire at least one treasure."

"If the Five Spirits Sect insists on resisting, then don't blame us for gathering our strength to expel you from the arena first."

Wearing the same clothes as Jiang Ming, the disciple, though only at the mid-stage of the seventh rank, also voiced his opinion, taking advantage of his superior numbers.

"Hehehe, you guys really think too highly of yourselves, a bunch of wild dogs, you really take yourselves seriously."

Since that's the case, then I'll show you the difference between us.

You all try to fight for it based on your own abilities, but if you leave with injuries in the end, don't blame me for not warning you sooner.

With a cold glance at everyone, the disciple of the Five Spirits Sect made a sudden move, his body surging with golden light, an unstoppable aura sweeping across the entire area in an instant!

It's the Sword Edge Gold Rank!

As the best fruit for sword cultivators, it can unleash the strongest attack power.

Sword cultivators are extremely rare in Tongzhou, and because of this, there are very few cultivators who cultivate Sword Edge Gold. Seeing such power today, Jiang Ming couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.

If he can master this imagery, his swordsmanship will surely advance by leaps and bounds.

It's a pity that a man can't use this technique, otherwise I would have tried to get my hands on it even if it meant risking my reputation.

"Transform Yin Profound Light!" With a light snort, the chief disciple of the Dao Asking Sect, seeing that he could not reach an agreement, immediately attacked the disciple of the Five Spirits Sect.

A beam of light appeared ordinary, but the moment it struck a person, an unexpected change occurred.

The once vigorous young man suddenly became bloated and developed many feminine characteristics.

Upon seeing his fellow Daoist suddenly develop a fuller bust and more shapely buttocks, the Five Spirits Sect disciple's expression changed, and he issued a fierce threat.

"What did you do to my junior brother? Change him back right now, or you'll be sorry!"

"Hehe, this is one of the most profound spells of the Dao Seeking Sect. Once hit by this move, there is no possibility of ever turning back in this lifetime."

However, this is a secret realm for practicing techniques, so this move is limited in its power. Otherwise, outside, I would definitely have made you suffer even more! With a cold snort, a hint of smugness flashed in the girl's eyes.

Watching the chaotic situation unfold, Jiang Ming felt a pang of anxiety.

He immediately used the Great Forest Wood to conceal his aura. At the same time, Tuoba Youyou also took action to cover up the cause and effect of their appearance.

For a time, the two seemed to be invisible, observing from the sidelines as they silently watched each other weaken their strength.

This strange light of tribulation does offer some valuable insights.

Wait a while, then we can try to get our hands on it.

Having made her judgment, she saw the situation on the battlefield change instantly, and the once majestic female cultivator from the Dao Seeking Sect...

He was instantly pierced through the chest by a sharp sword and nearly killed on the spot.

He coldly swept his gaze across the crowd, revealing an air of dominance over the world. The leading disciple of the Five Spirits Sect stood proudly in mid-air.

He spoke coldly, reciting a poem: "Ten years I've honed this sword, its frosty edge yet untested. Today I present it to you, who has a grievance to redress?"

Anyone who dares to disagree is welcome to step forward! I, Xiao Miao, will certainly accompany you to the end.

Observing the swordsman's ruthless methods, Jiang Ming was filled with apprehension.

In a direct confrontation, he might not be a match for this person. Fortunately, they are currently hiding in the shadows. When the Five Spirits Sect escapes, they might be able to launch a surprise attack and seize some benefits.

With grim expressions, the disciples of Qingfu Sect looked at Xiao Miao displaying his power above them, exchanging helpless glances. "With our senior brother not here, who among us can restrain him? Forget it, let's retreat first."

"Transformation into Yin Profound Light!" With a solemn expression, despite being pierced by a sword, the girl still refused to give up. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she helped another disciple of the Five Spirits Sect change his gender.

Frowning, Xiao Miao hovered his longsword in the air and coldly snorted, "If you're looking for death, then go ahead and die!"

"Once I've refined the treasure, I'll go and meet Murong Jie of your Dao Seeking Sect..."

Seeing that Xiao Miao was about to make a move, he had no time to spare.

Jiang Ming quietly approached, and the moment Xiao Miao drew his sword, he snatched the storage bag from his hand with utmost ruthlessness.

Then they turned and fled without looking back.

Staring in astonishment at his chest, Xiao Miao looked extremely distressed. He wanted to chase after the other person, but found that they had vanished without a trace.

No matter how hard I try to sense it, I can't find the Qi.

While feeling indignant, the female cultivator from the Dao Asking Sect spat out a mouthful of blood and said in a sarcastic tone, "The Five Spirits Sect's strength is indeed terrifying... I admire them."

Having lost face in public, one naturally feels resentful with nowhere to vent.

Upon hearing the mocking words, the boy's face immediately turned somewhat red.

He flew through the air, his longsword sweeping across, and began to wreak havoc as if slicing melons and vegetables.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly began to flee. In just a short while, the disciples of the various sects had successively left the cultivation secret realm.

Seeing his disciples swarming in like a hornet's nest, True Person Cangwu of the Dao Asking Sect looked displeased, his brows furrowed.

Soon, seeing disciples from other sects gradually appear, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and asked curiously, "What happened? Who did it?"

"Reporting to the Elder, Xiao Miao of the Five Spirits Sect is being unreasonable..."

"Master Tianlu, we were also kicked out by Xiao Miao. He's too domineering."

"Alas, that is not true. If one's skills are inferior, how can one blame my disciple?" Hearing that it was his own disciple who had displayed such prowess.

Master Hongguang walked over with a smile, looking at Master Tianlu as if he were a triumphant general. "How was it, Tianlu?"

"I knew these treasures would surely belong to the disciples of my Five Elements Sect!"

Ignoring Hongguang's taunts, Master Tianlu grasped the crux of the matter and asked with surprise, "Why did he go on a killing spree?"

"Reporting to the elder, the resources he painstakingly acquired were secretly stolen by a cultivator."

The key issue is that they can't pinpoint the other party's aura, so they have nowhere to vent their anger but us.

Upon hearing the explanation from the Wanfa Sect disciple, Master Tianlu smiled, feeling much better.

Frowning and looking rather grim, Master Hongguang sighed after understanding the truth and fell silent.

Master Cangwu didn't care too much. The Dao Seeking Sect wasn't very strong to begin with, and he never expected his disciples to achieve any great results.

After all, the competition for resources is related to the Grand Competition, but the decision ultimately rests with the Foundation Establishment cultivators of each sect and their respective methods.

That's why he didn't care who won or lost; he only saw it as a valuable opportunity to learn and broaden his disciples' horizons.

"Hiding his aura, is he another Great Forest Wood cultivator? There are very few cultivation techniques passed down to this level nowadays. How did this person obtain it?"

Raising an eyebrow, Frost Immortal suddenly became interested.

After all, her Shuiyue Sect disciples were killed by the Dalinmu cultivators, and now the Wuling Sect has suffered a great loss.

It seems like this was all done by the same person.

"No, relying solely on the large trees will inevitably reveal some of their aura, which Xiao Miao should be able to detect with his abilities."

The energy was completely obscured, which suggests the intervention of the city wall soil. Being able to grasp the imagery of the city wall soil indicates that the cultivation technique is at least of the third grade.

It seems this matter is most likely related to the Tuoba family. I remember there's a young lady from the Tuoba family who's currently cultivating at the Wanfa Sect, right?

After patiently stating his judgment, Master Cangwu looked at Master Tianlu and nodded with a half-smile, "You old fellow are blind; you haven't discovered any talent."

Despite being mocked, Master Tianlu did not react.

This little thing naturally didn't make him angry. On the contrary, after listening to Cangwu's analysis, he felt even happier.

The Great Forest Wood Technique is not easy to obtain.

Only two True Lords have appeared throughout history, and according to legend, these two True Lords are probably the same person.

And using large, dense wood for foundations is even rarer.

Legend has it that after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one must constantly be aware of the risk of getting lost. Therefore, if the Myriad Laws Sect truly produces a genius of the Great Forest Wood realm...

With a little nurturing, there might be a chance to produce another Foundation Establishment cultivator!

"Haha, I never expected this competition to be so exciting."

Hongguang, the outcome of this battle is still uncertain. The younger generation of the Wanfa Sect is doing well, but we old guys are not far behind either.

This time, your sect's Linghai Sect Leader may not be able to suppress Elder Han of my sect. Elder Han has already stepped into the Purple Mansion Realm.

I wonder if Fellow Daoist Linghai has made any progress?

Stroking his beard, Master Tianlu calmly took his seat, his eyes full of mockery.

Turning around with a grim expression, Master Hongguang's face was solemn. It was bad enough that this generation of disciples was disappointing.

Unfortunately, the sect leader's cultivation has stagnated, and he has been unable to emerge from seclusion to take charge of the overall situation.

This five-way competition may well end in defeat...

Each with their own thoughts, they fell silent. Seeing that True Person Tianlu was taking the opportunity to show his claws, Elder Xiaoyun of the Qingfu Sect, who had always been a weak sect, became interested.

In the past, when the Five Spirits Sect was at its peak...

The Qingfu Sect was unwilling to lose face by licking the boots, which allowed the Shuiyue Sect to overtake them. Now, the Wanfa Sect is about to rise to prominence.

This time, the Qingfu Sect must not fall behind!

"Fellow Daoist Tianlu, if you have time, please introduce me to Elder Han Li. I have something I'd like to ask you..." With a smile, True Person Cangwu took the initiative to show goodwill.

The atmosphere in the room gradually became tense.
