Gathering Herbs, Breaking Through Nine Gates

Jiang Ping looked up at the small river in front of him.

The river is not wide and is unremarkable, yet it runs through the entire ruins.

He activated his Samsara Heavenly Eye and simultaneously channeled the power of his Bone Technique to maximize its capabilities.

At this moment, in his eyes, black mist was falling from above the river, wisps and strands, but its aura Unrivaled. Once one resonated with it, one felt as if facing an endless Great Abyss.

Jiang Ping withdrew his gaze, his eyes revealing deep apprehension.

"It was in this very river that I, Jade Palace Venerable, met my end."

Beside the boulder, a Dao Seed spoke in a deep voice.

"I can see wisps of black energy, but I can't sense any more than that. This power is too astonishing. Even with my mastery of Thirty percent of the Void Order, I still find it difficult to perceive."

The other person frowned.

"We can't go any further. Although our predecessors have already demarcated a safe route across this stream, there's no clear land ahead, and who knows what unknown dangers lurk there."

A beautiful woman spoke up.

In just one or two days, the inner sect training has not yet ended, but they have already explored the two thousand miles of territory. Now, most of the prodigies have arrived at the riverbank at the four Inner Realm.

Unlike the first four thousand miles, the subsequent territory of the ruins was too dangerous, and neither of the two True Saints dared to explore it.

Because the Venerable of Jade Palace Prefecture initially wanted to resolve the crisis of this small river, but ended up falling into a trap and suffering the consequences.

I still have to take the risk.

Qingling Yan Kai in a deep voice.

This expedition to the ruins was unprecedented in hundreds of years, and he had already earned tens of thousands of contribution points here. If he could explore a little more, he would have a chance to enter the Heavenly Heart Cave for cultivation.

"Me too, I'm still short of contribution points, and I also want to complete my final transformation through the Jade Palace Golden Chapter Baptism."

"That's what a burly, rough-looking man said."

Just like Qingling Palace has the Heavenly Heart Cave, Jade Palace Prefecture also has a similar Blessed Land for cultivation. However, likewise, entering to cultivate requires consuming a high amount of contribution points.

Of course, although they talked about going deeper into the ruins, none of them actually did it.

Clearly, going it alone is no longer feasible. And since we value our lives, we need to gather a group of powerful partners and work together to take on this adventure.

Thump!

Just then, a divine rainbow appeared from behind, connecting directly to the opposite bank of the river.

People turned their heads and saw a classical beauty with an umbrella strolling on the rainbow.

Unlike the others, she did not stop at the river. With each step she took, she gracefully crossed the stream and headed into the depths of the unknown ruins.

"He is Exceptional Talent in our household."

The burly, rough-looking man said solemnly.

That woman possessed the beauty of a true phoenix, defeating all her Peers in the Jade Palace Prefecture. In the past, when she debated with Qingling, she even defeated one of Qingling's female Upper True Disciple, a feat that shook the world.

The crowd gazed at the woman's retreating figure with envy.

The opponent's talent is unparalleled throughout history. He is not only respected among his Peers, but he has also torn apart Unrivaled true saint with his bare hands. His strength is terrifying, which is the source of his confidence to venture alone into the depths of the ruins.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

A moment later, several more figures arrived in succession. None of them lingered; they flew directly to the other side of the river.

"Xiao Ran, Tang Sheng, Fang Xin are all Upper True Disciple."

Everyone looked up, feeling a sense of melancholy.

They are all exceptional talents, some even being cultivated as future successors to the Dao system True Disciple.

However, when facing these three people, one still has to bow one's head; there's no way to refuse.

" In this Golden Great Era, geniuses are as numerous as the stars, but they stand at the very end, like towering mountains reaching into the clouds."

A True Disciple sighed.

"Let's go. Once those guest elders have finished protecting us, we'll head there as a group."

Some people said that he had developed the intention to quit.

Subsequently, one by one, the Dao Seed withdrew from the stage.

During this time, Jiang Ping was met with several hostile gazes, including Pei Kong Zhang Yang, as well as a completely unfamiliar one.

"True Disciple of the Jade Palace Prefecture has also joined the Wendaomeng. Be careful."

Xiao Yin, the previous generation's True Disciple of Qingling, transmitted her voice to Jiang Ping.

Jiang Ping seemed to be deep in thought.

Ever since Li Buyu issued the kill order, these geniuses of the Wendaomeng seem to regard him as an enemy and harbor malice.

He stared at the unfamiliar True Disciple, raising an eyebrow slightly.

This True Disciple from the Jade Palace Prefecture is very strong, his strength is no less than that of Yan Kai Liu Ruhai.

"It seems we need to gather the third Legendary Great Medicine as soon as possible."

Jiang Ping muttered to himself.

After collecting the five-colored medicinal herbs, he had not found the third type of herb in a day...

Sulfuric acid!

Suddenly, a flash of Sword Light shattered the tranquility of the place.

Jiang Ping sensed danger, and alarm bells rang in his mind.

The one who made the move was none other than the True Disciple of the Jade Palace Prefecture.

The opponent's strength is terrifying; their attacks are like Myriad Jun, as if Thunder Heavenly Might is shaking.

Jiang Ping instantly activated his Void Dao Method to dodge, but the opponent's strength was too great, capable of contending with a True Saint, far beyond what a Past Body could handle.

Click!

The Void shattered layer by the Inner Realm, revealing his disheveled figure, with mouthfuls of blood gushing from his mouth.

Everyone was quite surprised by this sudden turn of events.

"It's just a Past Body, why would it be worth taking action?"

"Can't you see? Aside from those geniuses at the very end of their paths, only this person can penetrate deep into the ruins without any pressure."

"Yes, this is the Past Body, comparable to Dao Monarch's Dharma Body. Its usefulness in adventure and treasure hunting is immense. I, Mu Ling'er, True Disciple of the Jade Palace, am trying to stop Jiang Pingping from seizing the fortune."

"But she failed."

Jiang Pingping, her blue robes stained with blood, swung across the river to the other side. Even though Mu Ling'er wanted to fight, she dared not cross over rashly.

"We actually failed to kill this Past Body."

Pei Kong's face was grim.

"It is said that this person has been searching for legendary Primordial Spirit Great Medicine for the past two days, apparently hoping to use them to break through his cultivation barrier. Once he reaches the Nine Heavens, there will be nothing I can do."

Zhang Yang said in a deep voice.

Based on the brief clash the day before, he had already deduced the opponent's true Combat strength. If Jiang Pingping were to use the Sword of Ten Thousand Laws, she should be able to contend with him.

But if the opponent successfully breaks through the barrier, he would probably be slightly inferior in skill.

Mu Ling'er flicked her sleeves and said calmly, "It's alright."

The other side of the river.

Jiang Ping glanced deeply at the Jade Palace True Disciple, then turned and walked into the depths of the ruins without looking back.

His desire to break through the barrier reached its peak.

The Falling Moon Ruins extend more than four thousand miles into the ground beneath an old tree.

Jiang Ping sat cross-legged, resting and adjusting his breathing, his expression somewhat solemn.

That Jade Palace True Disciple was too powerful, moving like Thunder, his attacks carrying the might of a true saint. With just one strike, he was seriously injured.

He checked his condition; although he had recovered by activating Rebirth, it had increased his energy expenditure and he couldn't sustain it for long.

"Hopefully, we can find the Primordial Spirit Great Medicine before it dissipates."

Jiang Ping stood up and disappeared from the spot.

Soon, he appeared dozens of miles away, where the air was thick with the fragrance of herbs and divine light and rain intertwined.

"The Elixir of the Primordial Spirit."

"Unfortunately, they are not ripe enough to meet the requirements for picking."

Jiang Ping felt a slight regret. At this moment, his body was becoming somewhat transparent, his condition was deteriorating, and he was about to be completely exhausted.

He felt the urgency and immediately continued exploring, nearly being killed by Dao Mark along the way.

After exploring 300 li without incident, Jiang Ping was fortunate enough to find the Primordial Spirit Great Medicine of immortality that suited his needs.

This time, the precious medicine was not accompanied by any powerful demons, and he easily obtained it.

Afterwards, Jiang Ping returned at lightning speed.

Finally, before his Past Body became completely transparent, he handed the precious medicine to his original self.

"All of them are here."

Jiang Ping had a big smile on his face.
