The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Why can a sect with only one Qian Yuan level be ranked on the same level as one with several Qian Yuan levels?

Because upon reaching the Qian Yuan Level, one can utilize the universe to a certain extent, which means aligning with the Dao, and various unique and wondrous methods become increasingly mysterious. For Painting Dao and the Dao of Chess can manifest a world, and other schools naturally have their own unique characteristics, no longer simply a matter of energy strength and technique.

In this situation, it's useless to fight against a large number of people of the same level when you're outnumbered, but if you're prepared to run away and determined to escape, others may not be able to stop you.

Just like a chess fanatic can slightly shift your position on the chessboard and make you disappear. Unless you are completely familiar with his methods, what's the point of having more people?

Once he escapes, your sect will never have peace, so don't easily offend a Qian Yuan.

However, the dimensional monsters condensed in the Blood Nether Realm, although their strength is at the peak of the Qian Yuan realm, only know how to bombard, and their troublesomeness may not be comparable to Qing Wei is at the early stage of the Qian Yuan realm.

All sorts of mysterious Daoist Arts are too troublesome. Qing Wei only opened her eyes for a moment, and she activated the monster state and broke the sacrificial formation. This is not something a mindless monster can handle.

At this moment, Qing Wei was determined to escape. Anyone with basic intelligence would know that as long as she ran away, the summoning of the Taotie would completely fail, and there would be no need to fight at all.

With the monster breaking free of the formation and attacking wildly, Qin Yi, who had been hiding underground, was waiting for an opportunity. The situation was chaotic for a short time, which was even more advantageous for him.

Before the various attacks could arrive, Qing Wei waved his hand and scattered a handful of beans.

The beans all transformed into Qing Wei, possessing the same aura as him, and even seemed to have his strength.

Secret Method: Scattering Beans to Form Soldiers!

It's a very high-level one, capable of incorporating most of his strength.

Then a group of Qing Wei shouted and scattered from different angles. This was because there was a Witcher guarding the Red Door, and they couldn't get out. They had to create chaos first, or see if there were any other exits.

This is a small plane, but it's quite large. As you run around, your Divine Sense will detect Qing Wei everywhere. Which one is real?

Of course, the other side was also full of Qian Yuan, so they weren't easy to fool.

An old Witcher closed his eyes.

Ripples seemed to spread out, and all the Qing Wei within a hundred miles turned back into beans.

But at that moment, the blood-evil monster stomped on his head.

Despite his lack of wisdom, the power of a peak Qian Yuan cultivator was undeniable. The old Witcher could only retreat for the time being and did not immediately search for the true location of Qing Wei.

Anyway, he still has fellow disciples.

Mount Mang Venerable stomped his foot on the ground, causing the earth to crack open and precisely piercing a bloody ridge in the direction of Qing Wei's hidden trace.

At their level, Daoist Arts and witchcraft practices are no longer straightforward and simple; every step is incredibly profound.

But before the blood could even rise, it began to seep out.

Mount Mang Venerable let out a painful groan.

A Wolf Tooth Club was hidden beneath his feet, its sharp points protruding and piercing the soles of his feet.

The Blood Ghost Monster threw another punch at him.

This monster, in terms of raw power alone, crushes everyone present; its role as a troublemaker here is truly annoying.

Mount Mang Venerable was both pained and angry. "Senior Brother Yan is guarding the Red Door, so they can't get out for the time being and can only deliberately create chaos. Let's ignore those rats for now and work together to subdue this monster first."

This was the correct approach: guard the gate to prevent Qing Wei from escaping, and isolate the area around the altar to prevent Qin Yi from causing trouble. Deal with the monster first, then slowly deal with Qin Yi and Qing Wei; they are several Qian Yuan level beings, and with a methodical approach, they can be handled.

Unfortunately, in the ensuing chaos, it was too late by the time they realized this.

When Qin Yi sneaks into this position, Liusu can play all sorts of tricks.

Just as the Witcher were about to take control of the monster again, a Little Ghost, clutching its Blood-Chilling Nether Marrow, clung to the base of the Taotie statue.

Forced Summoning!

Based on the experience of the Qiongqi altar, offering a sacrifice before summoning results in a malevolent spirit that obeys commands. Summoning first and then offering a sacrifice is also possible, but in that case, the malevolent spirit will kill and sacrifice itself.

The Taotie's face began to move, and it came to life.

The Witcher's expressions changed drastically. "Who's initiating the summoning?!"

Everything's in chaos.

What they want is to summon a malevolent spirit that they can control, not a monster that can devour them!

This threw the Witch God Sect into complete chaos.

There were only four people in total... Originally, the four of them had set up an array beforehand, making the ritual of refining the Blood Nether monster quite easy. Now, with one person blocking the Red Door, the remaining three were already struggling with the monster, and now another person had gone to the Taotie statue to try and stop the ritual, leaving the remaining two under immense pressure.

The guard at the Red Door was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether he should step forward to help...

Qing Wei had already appeared in front of him.

The intertwined black and white Tai Chi symbol transformed into a beam of light, a chaotic light that was neither black nor white, crashing heavily into the Witcher's chest.

The Secret Method of the Taiyi Sect: Yin Yang Unification!

This is Qing Wei's desperate technique, utilizing his primordial power, which is close to the Source of Dao, and is even stronger than his strongest Law Treasure. What people keep hidden away is not necessarily Law Treasure.

At the same time, Red Lotus Tribulation Fire erupted from the ground, and Qin Yi launched a surprise attack.

This Qian Yuan Witcher is only at the same level as Qing Wei. How could he withstand Qing Wei's desperate fight and Qin Yi's sneak attack without retreating an inch?

He reluctantly stepped back half a step, watching helplessly as the two darted past him.

Just as he was thinking of regrouping and chasing after the sheep again, a sea of blood fell from the sky, blocking his way.

The Witcher was overjoyed. "Sect Leader!"

Qing Wei horrified and his expression changed drastically.

Zuo Qingtian had already arrived.

The destruction of the Dragon Abyss Altar destroyed the fortune, but the absence of fortune does not necessarily mean failure. Zuo Qingtian had some hope that his subordinates could succeed, but as soon as he arrived, he saw Qin Yi Qing Wei leaving together.

He can't enter the Heaven-Severing Door, but he can send them flying back!

A gentle aura enveloped the two of them, pulling them out as if ignoring the sea of blood. Qin Yi didn't even see who saved him; the Technique Method had simply traveled a great distance.

A languid female voice drifted from the sky. "Stop arguing. You'd be better off thinking about how to subdue the Taotie. If it starts devouring people, you'll be the one who suffers..."

Qin Yi was overjoyed. He recognized the voice of Minghe's master. No matter how much he Beat the Mandarin Ducks, this was now one of his own!

As expected, the Formless One doesn't just appear out of nowhere. The opponent has the Formless One, and so does our side.

With someone powerful to rely on, it seems like I'm not going to die.

Zuo Qingtian didn't want to talk.

He didn't know why Xi Yue had shown up before, but now she was acting ethereal. His gaze seemed to be looking through the Heaven-Severing Door, seeing the scene inside.

Then he reached out and pressed it.

The perfectly suppressed peak Qian Yuan energy rushed through the Red Door and struck the rampaging Blood Nether monster with pinpoint accuracy.

The monster paused for a moment, then instantly became weak and powerless, becoming a lamb to the slaughter.

Inside, Mangshan and the others breathed a sigh of relief and quickly refined the monster, completing the Blood-Chilling Nether Marrow they had only half-finished earlier.

"The summoning ritual cannot be stopped," Zuo Qingtian finally said. "The Taotie will still come out."

"I don't believe you have no way out," Xi Yue said with a hint of schadenfreude. "At worst, you can just fight it yourself and subdue this beast, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

You can't subdue it by fighting it, you can't even kill it. You can only turn it back into a sealed sculpture, just like Qiongqi did back then.

This is an indestructible evil spirit. As long as greed exists in the human world, there will be Taotie. It can only be sealed away.

The most tragic thing is that once it is sealed, it takes a hundred years to unseal it again.

It can be said that, at this point, what the Witch God Sect wanted to do has officially failed.

However, it wasn't entirely fruitless. First, they obtained a piece of Blood-Chilling Nether Marrow. Next time, they won't bother with such troublesome Bloodstained Nether monsters, and there's no need to keep fixating on Qin Yi's piece.

Secondly, this plane has already been found, and the Heaven-Severing Door has been opened. It's right here and won't disappear or move. We can just come back again in a hundred years. Can Xi Yue come here to guard it every time? As long as we cause some trouble for her elsewhere, or ask Myriad Images of the Universe to keep her occupied, without Xi Yue causing trouble, and with the monsters inside gone, the chances of winning will be much greater than this time.

A century is a bit long... In normal times, it would be a blink of an eye, but given the current situation, let alone a century, even halving it would feel too long...

Zuo Qingtian looked at the Heaven-Severing Door as if he were looking at the figures of his subordinates inside, who were anxiously trying to stop the ceremony.

After a long pause, he said, "I will not fight the Taotie. I will have my people withdraw immediately. If you want to fight, then you fight."

Xi Yue: "..."

How could they forget that while the Demon Sect could simply leave, they themselves were the ones who couldn't stand by and watch the Gluttonous Beast run rampant?

It would be a tragedy if they fought the Taotie to the death, only to be ambushed by Zuo Qingtian.

Wait a minute... who released this Taotie? Xi Yue quickly calculated...

Qin Yi.

So, you went in to stop the summoning, right? What's the meaning of summoning yourself?

Without an explanation, you still want to see Minghe? Even Qian Yuan wouldn't be of any use, let alone Huiyang!
