Returning to Jiuhua
"Haha, basic stuff, don't be silly."
Seeing their surprised looks, Zhang Xuanchen smiled smugly.
It wasn't that Luo Lingshuang and the others couldn't think of it; rather, those involved were blinded by their own perspective.
When faced with a formidable enemy, the first thought that comes to mind is how to eliminate them.
If all else fails, we can escape.
This is an idea ingrained in people's bones.
Zhang Xuanchen concealed his aura and slowly walked towards the Abyssal Snapping Turtle.
This Colossal Tortoise is the size of a small mountain, and when it is asleep, its massive body is covered by a layer of blood-black secretions.
As hard as black iron.
It is precisely because of this secretion that the Abyssal Snapping Turtle's defenses are even stronger than when it is conscious.
And about thirty meters away from its head.
A Nine-Orifice Golden Ginseng grows there.
The ginseng's body resembles an old man sitting cross-legged, deeply rooted in the soil.
It has all four limbs, and even its head has the outline of human facial features, like a golden boy or fairy.
Nine orifices are distributed throughout the body.
When a gentle breeze blows, it makes a crisp, bell-like sound.
The medicinal power entered the nostrils of the Abyssal Snapping Turtle.
With only one day remaining until the Nine-Orifice Golden Ginseng was ready, Zhang Xuanchen did not touch it.
Instead, he placed his hand on the hard shell of the Abyssal Snapping Turtle.
With a thought, the mountain-sized Colossal Tortoise vanished instantly.
It's done!
"Xuanjing, inform Feng Xiao and his sister, as well as Xiao Mo, not to wake the Abyssal Snapping Turtle."
"Okay, Brother Chen." Xuanjing replied, and his body entered the Myriad Spirit Ring.
Luo Lingshuang, Great Sage, and Wuxin also came to Zhang Xuanchen's side.
Wuxin at the vast empty space before him, Wuxin sighed:
"It actually worked."
This Abyssal Snapping Turtle could be considered Sleeping Turtle.
"They're sleeping so soundly."
Upon hearing this, Luo Lingshuang replied:
"Fortunately, it was an Abyssal Snapping Turtle. If it had been a peak Third Stage demonic Demon Beast, the Yuanhua Sect of Feiyuan Island would never have a day of peace."
Even Immortal City on the island could not be established.
That's not wrong; the Ancestor of the Yuanhua Sect was only at the Golden Core Mid Stage realm.
Even with the help of Spirit Talisman and Law Artifact, they are no match for the Abyssal Snapping Turtle.
They can only survive if Heaven favors the Yuanhua Sect.
Only then can you get a Demon Beast that can sleep for hundreds of years as your neighbor.
Zhang Xuanchen didn't speak, but silently took out Array Plate and began placing them around him.
After setting it up, he said, "The Shuoxing."
When the Nine-Orifice Golden Ginseng matures, please conceal the aura it emits.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
That night.
Zhang Xuanchen took out an animal skin carpet and spread it on the ground, and everyone sat down on the ground.
The Abyssal Snapping Turtle has been sleeping here for at least a hundred years.
The Demon Beast living in this mountain range probably already designated this place as Forbidden Zone.
It's simply impossible to get close easily.
In other words, this is the safest place in the entire mountain range.
Even if there is danger, they have nothing to fear given their strength.
Zhang Xuanchen also took out a grill from the Myriad Spirit Ring.
Show off your culinary skills.
With the blessing of roasted meat and Spirit Wine, the night passed quickly.
The next day at noon.
The Nine-Orifice Golden Ginseng burst forth with a dazzling golden light.
A rich medicinal fragrance spread throughout the Formation.
Just by taking a whiff, one can clearly feel their cultivation level rise by a few points.
Just as the medicine was about to take effect.
The Starry Tower emanated from between Zhang Xuanchen's brows.
It floats above the Nine-Orifice Golden Ginseng.
"Lock!" Shuoxing shouted in a low voice.
A series of star-like runes appeared, enveloping the Nine-Orifice Golden Ginseng and locking in the medicinal power it emitted.
Zhang Xuanchen also took the opportunity to put the Nine-Orifice Golden Ginseng into the spirit box he had prepared beforehand.
Zhang Xuanchen also collected the five seeds from the withered flower spike atop the golden ginseng into a specially made porcelain bottle.
After doing all this, another piece of Immortal Fate Information with a deity popped into my mind.
[Immortal Fate Information (Ding Shang): The Third Stage low-level Red Sun Fruit will be available in thirteen days...]
Upon seeing this Immortal Opportunity, Zhang Xuanchen decisively gave it up.
The positions are reversed, and besides, the Red Sun Fruit isn't exactly a rare spirit medicine, so there's no need to waste this time.
"Let's go, let's continue our journey."
After saying this, Zhang Xuanchen, Luo Lingshuang, and the others left the mountain range.
He took out the Azure Cloud again and flew towards the Nine Splendor Sword Sect.
The Hui people need to prepare in advance to defend against the Beast Tide.
In addition, you need to go to Wind Green Island to confirm with the demon of the East Sea Dragon Court.
Will they participate in this Beast Tide?
If even they were to participate, it would undoubtedly be an extraordinary disaster for the major powers in the Heavenly Dragon Sea Domain.
"Alas, these are turbulent times."
Zhang Xuanchen looked emotional, thankfully, this trip to the Secret Realm had been very fruitful, greatly increasing his strength.
Otherwise, he might have led his people away from Xuanxiao Mountain before the Beast Tide arrived.
Three months later.
Nine Splendor Sword Sect.
When the Qingyun Sect was still three hundred miles away from its mountain gate, several Elder wearing cloud-patterned sword robes and carrying swords broke through the air and arrived.
They blocked the Azure Cloud.
Seeing this, Luo Lingshuang walked to the bow of the boat, bowed to the Elder, and said:
"Disciple Luo Lingshuang greets the Great Elder, Third Elder, and Fifth Elder."
Besides the Great Sage, Zhang Xuanchen and Wuxin also bowed to the three Elders.
"Zhang Xuanchen, Clan Leader the Xuanxiao Zhang Clan, pays respects to the three elders."
"Wuxin greets the three elders."
The three Elder before them had all reached the Golden Core Peak.
His entire body was enveloped in Sword Momentum, all of which had reached the level of perfect Sword Momentum.
The Great Elder even touched the threshold of Sword Intent.
Sure enough, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
Even though the Nine Splendor Sword Sect was severely damaged by the Soul Devouring Cult back then, its strength should not be underestimated.
Putting everything else aside, with these three joining forces, even 70% of the Golden Core Faction in the Heavenly Dragon Sea Domain would be unable to withstand them.
If the Nine Splendor Sword Sect does not announce the closure of its mountain.
The Eastern Lan Wei Family and the Five Half-step Nascent Soul Powers of the Qingyun Sect wouldn't even dare to utter a peep, let alone compete for the position of overlord.
When Great Elder Yang Wei saw Luo Lingshuang and the others bowing to him, the tense expression on his face eased a little.
At the same time, I was extremely shocked.
Because at this moment, Luo Lingshuang's cultivation level had reached the Golden Core Mid Stage!
Zhang Xuanchen's cultivation level also reached the Foundation Establishment Peak!
This...
"No need for formalities, Ling Shuang, your cultivation has actually broken through to the Golden Core Mid Stage!"
"Have you entered the Starry Secret Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Lingshuang showed neither surprise nor panic.
It's perfectly normal for the Nine Splendor Sword Sect to know about the Starry Secret Realm.
He replied, "Replying to the Great Elder, this disciple did not enter the Starry Secret Realm."
It was the disciple's husband who got in through a quota allocated by the Wei Family.
They obtained a heavenly materials and earthly treasures within the Secret Realm that could help people break through their limits.
"It was thanks to his help that I was able to break through to the Golden Core Mid Stage."
Buzz!
As soon as Luo Lingshuang finished speaking, a handsome young man dressed in a blue robe and with a tall and straight figure appeared in front of everyone.
The visitor was none other than Qingming True Lord.
The moment he arrived, Qingming True Lord's gaze fell on Luo Lingshuang.
After carefully examining the area, I breathed a sigh of relief.
A smile appeared on his face, and he said:
"With a solid foundation, there is no sign of superficiality in one's realm."
It seems the heavenly materials and earthly treasures the Zhang Family obtained are a perfect match for you.
I'm giving you such a treasure.
This also proves that you didn't choose the wrong person.
"Greetings, Ancestor!"
"Greetings, Master!"
"Greetings, Qingming True Lord!"
At this moment, even the usually proud Great Sage bowed respectfully.
This is the proper courtesy to the strong.
No need for such formalities.
Hua Shisan slightly raised his right hand, and a gentle spiritual force lifted everyone up.
