Path Setting: New Life
As he spoke, a special energy ripple expanded from the Silver Bat as the center. It was his racial innate supernatural power, Supernatural Sonic Wave, which were devastating. Furniture and living rooms along the way were blown apart, and buildings were smashed to pieces!
The Supernatural Sonic Wave waves materialized and swept towards Zhao Zejun and Wang Xuan. The Super Material surged, like celestial mist or haze, raging everywhere.
Even the courtyard in front of Wang Xuan was collapsing, with grass flying into the sky and black cracks appearing on the ground, each a foot or two wide. Even the void itself was being distorted by the extraordinary ripples.
Old Chen didn't show himself; he waited outside to provide backup. Wang Xuan led Zhao Zejun, narrowly escaping several times, and finally left the main living room where the demons had infiltrated.
"You actually dared to come. More importantly, your information network is so efficient and perceptive that I suspect someone within our ranks sent you a message."
Hei Lie spoke and strode out. Looking at Wang Xuan standing on a pile of broken buildings not far away, his face was indifferent, and he didn't care that Zhao Zejun was out of control.
In fact, their main target was Wang Xuan, with their eyes on his Great Killer Weapon and his unique Inner Scenery Realm, which could become a cross-dimensional passage for the Demon Ancestor Qi Yi.
"Wang Xuan!" Zhao Zejun said weakly. He hadn't expected to be rescued. But he could clearly hear that the other party was well-prepared and at a great disadvantage for Wang Xuan.
He wanted to speak up and persuade him not to worry about him, a burden, and to let Wang Xuan go first.
Wang Xuan gestured to him that he didn't need to say anything more, as he knew what he was doing, and quickly injected a Mysterious Factor into his body to alleviate his blood and energy deficiency.
At the same time, the Flying Boat appeared, and he placed Zhao Zejun on it. With a whoosh, he pushed the Flying Boat out of the yard and glided towards the direction where Old Chen was.
He didn't move, because blood-red markings appeared on his body, connected by Demon Immortal Rope that bound him.
This is why the demons remained calm and didn't rush to attack; the Hei Lie, Silver Bat, and Green Wolf were prepared.
"We were still thinking about how to lure you over, but we didn't expect you to come to us so quickly. We were almost caught off guard."
Silver Bat smiled, looking at the young man in the courtyard. He said with some emotion, "You are quite remarkable. As a mortal, you have, through a series of coincidences, killed many Demon Immortals in this special era and possess several legendary Peerless Exotic Treasure."
In the courtyard, beneath the cracked lawn and soil, there is a Demon Race Altar, emanating demonic energy, and is based on five true bones embedded in the rough stone.
"The Heavenly Demon Binding Immortal Array has been prepared long ago." The Green Wolf grinned, its blood-red maw bulging, and its laughter was deafening.
"It's this kind of thing again!" Wang Xuan looked at the Red Demon rope binding him; it was indeed a trump card that could threaten his life.
The demon race used the immortal bones they had stolen and the remaining extraordinary laws within them to set up this magic array.
In the distance, Chen Yongjie secretly piloted Flying Boat to temporarily send Zhao Zejun away from this place, fearing that the battle would affect him.
If this were behind behind the Great Curtain, it would be a magic array that even immortals could use to lock them down! Although the demons were hateful, they were very experienced in fighting and did not let their guard down.
At this point, there was nothing left to hold back. Wang Xuan would go all out; either these demons would die today, or he would perish here.
The ancient lamp floated, protecting him from being attacked by the demons. He held the Yellow Gourd in his hand and pointed it at the altar, intending to destroy the source.
Of course, most importantly, Wang Xuan was using the Supreme Scriptures to counter this array that initially involved the aftershocks of Supernatural Rule. He had experienced it once before, so he had some experience with it.
Beams of light shot out from the gourd and hurtled forward, but the demon race's altar glowed on its own, actually dismantling this attack.
The next moment, the Golden Tree appeared and was placed in front of Wang Xuan, also to protect himself and be ready to activate and kill enemies at any time.
Next, he took out a stack of talismans. He had used sword talismans and thunder talismans before, which were incredibly powerful. Now he activated one directly and threw it at the altar.
It was a luminous rune, carrying boiling Super Material and dazzling runes, which slammed into the altar, causing a tremendous explosion.
The altar was partially damaged, with a corner chipped off by the divine light.
"Taoist Divine Light Talisman?!" The demon was somewhat unsettled. This was an extremely rare talisman, and the other party actually had the audacity to produce it.
The altar was shaking, but the crimson demonic rope it released was even more intense, as if it were dripping blood, binding Wang Xuan and pulling him forcefully, trying to tear him apart.
Sizzle!
Another talisman burned, emitting a Dark Light, and with a loud bang, it collapsed a corner of the altar. This was the Five Yin Lightning Talisman, with astonishing power.
In an instant, Wang Xuan activated another Southern Bright Leaving Fire Talisman, and the raging flames were like a fiery red divine bird spreading its wings and swooping down on the altar.
Boom!
The altar was stained red, and parts of it turned into lava, which flowed all over the ground.
"How many Zhang Shen talismans does he actually have?" Green Wolf was astonished.
Wang Xuan wasn't bothered at all. If this stuff were kept any longer, it would soon become useless and turn into ordinary paper. Good steel should be used where it's needed most.
Since the altar is an inanimate object, it cannot hide, so talismans can be used to solve the problem.
At the same time, he himself was also circulating the Supreme Scriptures, doing his best to break free from the demon's rope.
After the fourth talisman was cast, the altar collapsed more than halfway, but the five immortal bones continued to exert their power. The magic array was complete and would not disintegrate for the time being.
At this moment, Chen Yongjie returned and made his move in an instant. He held Snow White Conch and blew it, and layers of Swastika Symbol appeared, all of which were blasted towards the altar.
At the same time, he swung his Black Longsword with his right hand, leaped up, and slashed at the five immortal bones!
The Swastika Symbol roared, the sword light ripped through the sky, the altar cracked, and the five immortal bones shook incessantly.
"Take him down!" Three demons rushed out to hunt down Chen Yongjie.
Thump!
The Soul Locking Bell roared violently, causing the silver ripples here to rise and fall like a vast ocean, forcing the three back. Then Old Chen once again swung his black greatsword to cleave the Immortal Bone!
He held a conch shell in his mouth and blew it incessantly, causing Swastika Symbol to roll out like rocks and crash into the altar.
His immortal bones trembled, the altar crumbled, and he shook the entire place.
"This monk is pretty fierce!" Hei Lie was furious. The key was that the other party had Great Killer Weapon that forced them to retreat.
"Kill him!" Silver Bat roared fiercely, using the Ancestor Blood he obtained from the Demon Pool. Strange blood appeared, hovering in front of him, and rushed towards Old Chen.
Hei Lie also said coldly, "I'll kill you first. As long as I get the Soul Locking Bell, the Golden Tree, and the Conch Shell today, it won't be a loss even if I lose my Ancestor Blood."
He wielded Wolf Fang Club, was covered in black hair, and had a terrifying drop of Ancestor Blood floating on his forehead as he charged toward Chen Yongjie.
On the other side, Wang Xuan unleashed several talismans, shattering the altar, but the true bone remained suspended in mid-air, still suppressing him.
Dao Blood streaks appeared on the body of the red-clad demon, and blood flowed down, indicating its strong lethality.
With a thud, he activated the Golden Tree and smashed it onto the five immortal bones. Nine golden birds chirped in unison and flew out to peck at the true bones.
This is Great Killer Weapon in the spiritual realm. It doesn't mean it can't be used for physical attacks, but it's obviously not as powerful as it is when used to strangle a spiritual entity.
"Damn it, it's being used up too fast! My Super Material is almost gone!" Chen Yongjie exclaimed. His conch shell and Soul Locking Bell were rapidly depleted while fighting against the demon ancestor's true blood, and they were completely dried up.
He quickly sheathed his Black Longsword and used it to slash at the three demons.
However, each of the demons was four minor realms higher than him, and all of them could threaten his life. When the three of them attacked together, he really couldn't stop them.
Hei Lie swung his Wolf Fang Club. He was at the eighth level of the Human World, far surpassing Chen Yongjie. When it came down, it almost knocked Old Chen's greatsword away, and his palm immediately bled, his arm nearly breaking.
"Roar!"
The Green Wolf howled and swung its Great Claw, colliding with Old Chen's right foot that he had kicked out. Chen Yongjie's face contorted in pain; his foot bone was fractured.
The three demons were all experts at the early stage of the eighth level, which meant they could practically do whatever they wanted in the mortal world.
On the other side, Wang Xuan's expression also changed. The current environment was deteriorating, and the Super Material in the Golden Tree was running out, dimming and falling to the ground.
"Haha... Thank you so much! You've given me the Soul Locking Bell and the Golden Tree, both legendary artifacts from ancient times. You're such kind people!" Hei Lie laughed.
"Kill this monk first!" Silver Bat said coldly. As he opened his mouth, Supernatural Sonic Wave rippled out, causing Old Chen to cough up blood and fly away.
"Die!" Hei Lie roared, swinging his Wolf Fang Club toward Old Chen's head.
Chen Yongjie swung his black greatsword to parry, and with a clang, the Wolf Fang Club was damaged, sparks flew, and it almost broke, but Old Chen was shaken by the great demon and his arm was broken.
This power is too strong. It is a demon of the eighth level in the Human World, which is four levels higher than Chen Yongjie. Even with his extraordinary talent, he cannot stop it.
"Extraordinary Blood Food, come on!" The Green Wolf opened its blood-red maw and pounced directly at the enemy.
A talisman flew over, and the moment it exploded, a chill enveloped the giant wolf, briefly freezing it and injuring its body.
However, the Green Wolf, at the eighth level of strength, could not be killed by a single talisman. It shattered the Xuanbing in an instant, roared and charged out, some of its fur bleeding, and it almost fell off along with the ice.
"Don't worry about me, get yourself out of this predicament first!" Chen Yongjie shouted, swinging his black greatsword again to defend against the three demons.
Wang Xuan threw out five talismans in one go, which bloomed on the immortal bones. With a bang, the magic array finally began to collapse, and the pieces of true bone slowly separated.
"Kill!" Silver Bat shouted, continuously emitting Super Material sound waves from its mouth to attack Chen Yongjie, causing Old Chen to cough up blood, his body tremble violently, and he was sent flying.
At the same time, he also attacked Wang Xuan, sweeping over him with energy ripples, not wanting him to escape.
Hei Lie slammed into Old Chen again. When Chen Yongjie fought back with his longsword, his intact arm was also broken, and a piece of the Wolf Fang Club broke off and slammed into his chest, causing blood to splatter.
Hei Lie swept one of its feet over, sending Old Chen flying sideways. He then took another blow to the side with a wolf claw, leaving him a bloody mess and his ribs broken.
Wang Xuan manipulated the stone tablet inscriptions and the Pre-Qin Golden Bamboo Slips, breaking several slightly dimmed demonic ropes.
He then violently activated the God Slaying Banner, causing it to rapidly expand and transform into a large banner. This was the first time he had used it in this way, and he forcefully smashed it down on the five immortal bones that were gradually disintegrating.
Boom!
Some of his five true bones broke, while others flew away, and the magic array collapsed. At this point, all the demonic ropes on his body broke off and disappeared completely.
He rushed towards Chen Yongjie, raised the large flag, and smashed it down.
The Green Wolf swung its Great Claw, trying to tear the flag apart, but instead let out a strange cry as a part of its primordial spirit was torn apart and pulled out of its body.
Thump!
Just then, a terrifying beam of light flew in and blasted towards the Silver Bat, the Green Wolf, and the Hei Lie. It was Zhao Zejun was taking action; he was outside contacting the Zhao Family to kill the demons.
The Green Wolf, whose primordial spirit had just been damaged, hadn't recovered yet and was the slowest to react. With a "poof," one of its Great Claw exploded and was blasted away.
Silver Bat quickly picked it up and threw it off the battlefield. Silver Bat and Hei Lie swiftly activated the blood of the Demon Ancestor to fight against the God Slaying Banner and attacked again.
Chen Yongjie gasped for breath. Today had been quite brutal. In order to buy time for Wang Xuan, he had suffered multiple fractures, which were broken by the immense force of the great demon!
Hei Lie and Silver Bat attacked, determined to seize the Great Killer Weapon in Wang Xuan and Chen Yongjie's hands, and to lock up Wang Xuan and kill Old Chen. Even the severed-limbed Green Wolf joined the fray once again.
A faint Blood Shadow condensed in the Ancestor Blood, gazing coldly as if looking down upon the mortal world from across a Great World.
Undeterred, Wang Xuan brandished the God Slaying Banner, sweeping it forward to confront the true blood of the Demon Ancestor while simultaneously facing the three great demons.
Chen Yongjie wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and charged again.
During several exchanges of fire, Wang Xuan also began coughing up blood, his chest heaving violently, his Super Material boiling and burning.
Old Chen's face turned pale, and he staggered.
Wang Xuan used his last two talismans, which, with two soft "poof" sounds, wounded Silver Bat and Hei Lie, leaving them with torn skin and covered in blood, but he was unable to kill them.
His heart sank, because the Super Material of the God Slaying Banner was about to dry up; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
However, Silver Bat, Hei Lie, and Green Wolf were even more nervous than him. Their blood of the Demon Ancestor had completely dimmed and was exhausted, causing their expressions to change repeatedly.
"Walk!"
They broke through the encirclement, passing by Chen Yongjie and sending him flying.
Enraged, Chen Yongjie relentlessly pursued the wolf, and with a soft thud, chopped off a thick wolf tail with his indestructible Black Sword, splattering demonic blood everywhere.
"Awooo!" The Green Wolf's face twisted in grief and humiliation as it turned around and slapped him with its paw, sending him flying.
Wang Xuan, carrying a large banner, made a show of force and gave chase. During the chase, he used a dark red ancient lamp to emit beams of light that nearly pierced through the bodies of the Hei Lie and the Silver Bat, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
It must be said that these three great demons were of high cultivation level and extremely powerful. They used supernatural powers and rare treasures to withstand the attack and did not die.
They escaped!
Rumble!
Various energy cannons bombarded them as Zhao Zejun gave the order.
Chen Yongjie struggled to his feet, and Wang Xuan took the opportunity to stop the pursuit and rushed over to help him up. The God Slaying Banner had truly exhausted its Super Material.
"That wolf cub's final pounce triggered my Super-Sense, opening up the Inner Scenery Realm!" Chen Yongjie whispered.
"You heal your wounds first!" Wang Xuan exclaimed in surprise. Then, carrying the large flag, he once again made a show of force and rushed into the Zhao Family. The several Blood Shadow were so frightened that they all fled and dared not possess him again.
In fact, they had given orders to bombard Chen Yongjie and Wang Xuan, but Zhao Zejun had informed the Zhao Family in advance that those people were problematic and should not obey their orders.
In just over ten seconds, Wang Xuan brought Zhao Zejun back, had him quickly give some orders, and then guided his spiritual body into Chen Yongjie's Inner Scenery Realm.
"Unexpectedly, at this critical moment of life and death, I have opened my Inner Scenery Realm!" Chen Yongjie was extremely excited, but the environment here would immediately bring people back to a state of absolute calm and clarity.
"Plant the celestial medicine, break through the barrier, and then go back and wipe out the demon race!" Wang Xuan said.
"Originally, I wanted to refine it for a while, but now that the Inner Scenery Realm has been opened, I think I can't hold back anymore and I'm breaking through!" Chen Yongjie said.
In a short while, Chen Yongjie briefly returned to his physical body, buried the Heavenly Medicine Seed in the Life Soil, covered it with Five-Colored Soil, and watered it with Immortal Nectar.
In an instant, he felt the fragrance of medicine permeating the soil of his life. Without lingering, he returned to the Inner Scenery Realm once more.
Wang Xuan had some medicinal soil on him that he hadn't used yet. One piece belonged to the Female Daoist practitioner, and the other to the Red-clothed Demon Immortal. He quickly put it into use, covering the seeds of the Nine Tribulation Heavenly Lotus with the two pieces of medicinal soil and watering them with Immortal Nectar.
After Wang Xuan returned to the Inner Scenery Realm, he told Zhao Zejun that he could receive Mysterious Factor here to repair his physical body, and that he should just focus on cultivation.
Then, he sat down to the side, ready to break through his current level and officially enter the next realm!
Chen Yongjie's Inner Scenery Realm was filled with Mysterious Factor that constantly drifted down, far surpassing those decaying Inner Scenery Realm, Super Material was extremely concentrated.
One year, two years...
This is an illusion, but its effect is no less than that of having gone through so many years, which allows them to hone and understand the various subtleties of the art of herb gathering.
Gathering herbs is gathering one's own great medicine, which is the condensation of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and spirit; it is the automatic emergence of the body's secret power; it is the Extraordinary Light of the inner self piercing through the soil of destiny and illuminating oneself.
If there were celestial medicines or Supreme Great Medicine incorporated into the formula, that would be even better!
The celestial medicine, born in the Highest Mental World, is no ordinary thing; it is semi-material, mysterious and unpredictable, and has amazing effects.
The lotus seeds inside Wang Xuan's body exuded fragrance, and the medicinal energy was collected, illuminating his entire body!
In the soil of his destiny, there was also a celestial herb, emitting silver light, which cleansed his entire body!
Furthermore, amidst the silver light, a tender sprout broke through the soil; the main root of the Heavenly Medicine had sprouted, born from the life-giving soil, making the vitality here even more abundant.
There is no real time in the Inner Scenery Realm, but it certainly feels like "thirty years" have passed. At the very least, the cultivation effect seems to have been achieved. Chen Yongjie mobilized a massive amount of Mysterious Factor, constantly watering the life soil and stimulating the lotus seeds to grow. This was a testament to his hard work and cultivation will!
His physical body was also being nourished, undergoing a dramatic transformation, with broken bones being reshaped and flesh and blood regenerating, and he was fully recovered in a very short time.
His physical body seemed to have been nourished by divine substances for thirty years, and it simply couldn't stop the momentum of his breakthrough!
Just before the final moment arrived, his celestial medicine sprouted, Nine Tribulation Heavenly Lotus broke through the soil, blooming with rich vitality and flowing with a hazy glow, representing new life!
"Finally!" Chen Yongjie breathed a sigh of relief, having collected the mysterious energy of the Heavenly Medicine emerging from the earth, and merged it with his own cultivation, illuminating the Light of Life, making his body and spirit shine brightly.
Boom!
Then, he stopped suppressing himself, broke through, and entered the fifth realm, where he needed to forge his own path.
On the other side, Wang Xuan was still sitting cross-legged. He was also going to break through today and would not stay at the Herb Gathering Realm. He should go to the Path Setting.
To his surprise, not only were the plump lotus seeds sprouting, but the wooden tray made of dried roots under the Supreme Treasure Nurturing Life Furnace was also radiating vitality, as if it were about to come back to life!
"Three Heavenly Medicines?" He was astonished. He had never heard of anyone planting three Heavenly Medicines in their destiny soil, because it was unrealistic.
Even the most powerful experts might lose their lives trying to pluck a single celestial herb.
What kind of future awaits these three medicinal herbs, now firmly rooted in the soil? He eagerly anticipates their emergence, waiting for them to break through the soil and sprout anew!
