Zhang Jing never expected that the helper he had invited would "betray" him in just a few words from Gongye Chun.
He was eager to argue with Qing Yizi.
But this Golden Core from the Demonic Path only gave Zhang Jing a cold glance, and Zhang Jing felt a chill run down his spine, realizing just how ferocious the person he had invited was.
Liu Wenyan sat near Chen Shuangbai from beginning to end, under the protection of his grandmaster Gongye Chun, and witnessed everything. He felt a sense of satisfaction when he saw Zhang Jing get the short end of the stick.
Seeing that Chen Shuangbai seemed slightly puzzled, he secretly transmitted his voice, saying, " Junior Brother Chen, Zhang Jing is courting a tiger!"
"What makes you say that?!"
"This Qing Yizi, the master of Green Parasol Tree Forest, is not someone to be Rogue Cultivator with. He was able to cultivate to the Golden Core stage using demonic methods despite being a rogue cultivator."
Understood.
Whether they are righteous or demonic... none of them who achieve the Golden Core as Rogue Cultivator are easy to deal with.
In any case, that's how it's settled.
Previously, under the watchful eyes of Gongye Chun, True Person Zhao, and True Person Qian, Zhang Jing thought that with his backup plan revealed, the jade pendant would not be handed over. However, now that his backup plan has been revealed, the jade pendant has been betrayed in just a few words, leaving Zhang Jing with no choice but to hand it over.
After some Zhang Jing decided that his own life was more important, so he gritted his teeth and took out the remaining two jade pendants.
One was passed down from his grandfather, and the other... was left behind by Xie Hong, who had already died at the hands of Gongye Chun.
As soon as these five jade pendants appeared, they seemed to sense something and lit up one after another, bursting out with dazzling light. They gathered together, swirled into a ball, and gradually transformed into a complete sphere of light.
Gongye Chun made a hand seal and sent the Method Formula into the sphere of light. The sphere hummed and then transformed into a ball of colorful light, flying out of the hall.
"No need to stop them!"
Gongye Chun reminded him.
Immediately, True Person Zhao and True Person Qian removed the magical light that enveloped the Cinnabar Firmament Hall. The colorful light pierced through the outside of the palace, crossed the clouds and mist in the mountains, and landed in a valley in Spring-Returning Mountain, where it fell into the pool.
The pool water was instantly bathed in colorful light, causing it to swirl and swirl with iridescent hues. The surface of the water was no longer calm, as if stirred by an invisible hand, slowly forming a mirror-like reflection of the condensed water, which stood in the center of the pool.
"Entrance to the blessed land!"
Gongye Chun raised his hand and rolled up Yi Chongyue and the others, bringing them into the valley. Seeing this scene, Liu Wenyan said the following.
The other Golden Core cultivators also gathered their disciples and arrived one after another.
Gongye Chun gazed at the mirror of light, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. The nostalgia in his eyes quickly disappeared, and he turned to the several Golden Core, saying, "Inside lies the portal to the place called [ Wondrous Origin Blessed Land ]."
"When we entered last time, that blessed land was already on the verge of collapse. After so many years, it's probably even worse now, which is why Golden Core can't enter."
"Of the eight spots, I'll take two; the rest are up to you."
The Golden Core cultivators all looked at the disciples they had brought with them.
To be able to enter a blessed land... even a crumbling blessed land, is an immense fortuitous opportunity; who wouldn't be tempted?
True Person Qian's gaze was calm as he slowly spoke, saying, "Old True Person, you contributed the most, so it's not unreasonable for you to take two spots. Let's divide the rest among our families."
In the blink of an eye.
Several Golden Core True Person then confirmed the spots for entry.
Gongye Chun took two first, Setting Sun Sect and Painstaking Heart Sect each took two, and the remaining two were divided between Qing Yizi and Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing was extremely dissatisfied.
He also wanted two, or even more.
Unfortunately, Qing Yizi Golden Core of the Demonic Path, had no objections, and he couldn't defeat True Person Qian or True Person Zhao... so he could only swallow the bitter pill, his face full of resentment.
Of the two spots that Gongye Chun requested, one was given to Liu Wenyan, and the other... naturally fell to Chen Shuangbai.
Whether for public or private reasons, Chen Shuangbai is on the list.
only...
Chen Shuangbai quietly approached her master and asked via telepathy, "Master... don't you want to go in and see what this blessed land looks like?"
Yi Chongyue glanced at the disciple and replied, "I'm not good at fighting, what would I do going in? Just to get beaten up?"
"Or... are you happy that your teacher got beaten up?"
Chen Shuangbai immediately shut up.
Seeing that the spots had been decided, Gongye Chun did not hesitate and urged everyone to go inside.
He was fed up with Zhang Jing Jing's disgusting behavior and wished he could put an end to the matter and never see him again.
Although the Golden Core cultivators had different thoughts, they all knew that this matter should not be delayed any longer, given that the entrance to the blessed land had already appeared. They understood that delay would lead to unforeseen changes.
But Qing Yizi raised his hand to interrupt, saying, "Fellow Daoists, please wait a moment."
Several Golden Core cultivators looked over and saw the demonic Golden Core smilingly say, "I came out in a hurry, and my disciple is still training outside. Please wait a moment... is that alright?"
wait?
Naturally, no one wants to wait!
However, given the ruthless and cruel nature of this master of the Green Parasol Tree Forest, coupled with the fact that he possessed the highest cultivation level among those present, the crowd couldn't help but frown slightly.
Gongye Chun looked at the man and said, "One day!"
Qing Yizi nodded and said, "Alright."
One day later.
The group saw the disciple of the Golden Core cultivator, a young man who was also wearing a green robe, with a tall and straight figure and gentle eyes. He did not have any demonic aura on him, but rather looked like a refined nobleman.
Chen Shuangbai and the other eight people passed through the colorful water mirror one after another and entered it.
Before him was a dazzling display of colorful light, but when he came to his senses, he found himself standing on a broken rock floating in the clouds, making it impossible to see what lay below.
Looking to the left and right, they saw no one, indicating that they had been randomly teleported to various parts of the blessed land after entering.
"That makes sense, after all, he's not a true successor to this blessed land..."
With a thought, Chen Shuangbai's Law Power surged, and he cast the " Three Warmings and Six Chills Wind Incantation," summoning a gentle breeze that slowly dispersed the surrounding mist, allowing him to see clearly where he was.
At this moment, he was on the mountainside of a towering mountain. Whether it was due to the formation or not, clumps of boulders surrounded the mountain and floated silently.
Chen Shuangbai looked towards the summit and could vaguely see a corner of a palace or temple emerging from the clouds. He then rode his escape light and rushed straight into the clouds.
Only after landing in front of the palace did Chen Shuangbai see the scene before her clearly.
Surprisingly, what came into view was not a magnificent palace, but an ancient Daoist temple built along the mountainside.
This place looks like it hasn't been visited for many years. The huge blue stone steps are covered with thick moss, and the crevices are full of lush green moss and unknown vines. Some of the vines even have tiny, faintly glowing flowers, making it look quiet and secluded.
