Jiyuan Mountain.

The years passed, and time flew.

Five years have passed since Shen Lian returned to Jiyuan Mountain to stay.

When you reach the Jindan stage of cultivation, life seems to be worthless. A little retreat will take at least one or two months.

When you close your eyes again, several months have passed.

...

Bishui Sect.

Eight years ago, the three of them triggered the Jindan Heavenly Tribulation together, creating the first grand event in the wilderness since ancient times.

It pushed the Bishui Sect to the forefront all of a sudden.

The land of the wilderness has been reclaimed for a long time. Now there are a total of nine immortal cultivation kingdoms along the northern line of the wilderness.

These nine immortal cultivation kingdoms can be traced back to nine large families. Back then, they migrated from the Tiannan Continent with their families, recruited refugees and casual cultivators, and gradually eliminated the miasma and established a foothold in the north of the wilderness.

The nine great families, taking advantage of the fact that the Yuanying was far away and the vast sea blocked them, simply closed the door and claimed to be kings and ancestors. They established their own immortal kingdoms with their own surnames, enslaved low-level cultivators, and lived a very happy life.

To this day, the nine great immortal families have long passed away, but the names of the immortal kingdoms they established have been passed down from generation to generation.

The Jindan sects in this area have been passed down for between four thousand and seven thousand years. Throughout the ages, no Jindan sect has been able to pass down for more than seven thousand years.

In addition, the development of the wilderness by the nine great immortal kingdoms in the past few thousand years has been stagnant. Don’t look at the fact that in the past few dozen or hundreds of years, the various sects have established markets in the depths of the wilderness, but they are just small fights and have not formed a scale at all.

For the cultivators in the wilderness, further developing the miasma land in the depths of the wilderness is equivalent to expanding their own cultivation resource production area, which is a good thing for cultivation.

But why did the development of the wilderness stagnate?

The main reason is that from the southern territory of the nine major cultivation kingdoms, the areas within 500,000 miles deep in the wilderness have been plundered many times by cultivators of all generations.

Beyond 500,000 miles, the danger is even greater, so the cultivators dare not go deeper.

The areas currently controlled almost meet the cultivation needs of Qi training and foundation building cultivators. The lack of Jindan level cultivation resources is not only difficult to find in the wilderness within 500,000 miles, but also very dangerous.

This caused the cultivation sects to stagnate the development of the wilderness. The remaining casual cultivators had no choice but to go deep into the wilderness to find cultivation resources. How could the scattered cultivators reclaim land?

On the contrary, the resources brought back from the wilderness with great difficulty were taken away by the Jindan sects and families.

With the low-level casual cultivators as hard labor, the sects and families were even more reluctant to invest a lot of money to open up the wilderness.

…

Eight years ago, the three heavenly tribulations of the Bishui Sect shocked the nine countries, and finally two cultivators successfully survived the six thunder tribulations and were promoted to Jindan Zhenren.

The number of Jindan cultivators in Bishui Sect reached five, surpassing the four in Youhuang Valley, becoming the first sect of immortal cultivation in Chu.

But this scene did not make Bishui Sect too happy. It was no surprise that Bishui Sect became a hot commodity in the eyes of the major sects of the nine countries. There were countless people staring at it outside the mountain gate.

As a result, the disciples of the sect who were on missions outside the sect disappeared repeatedly, and the families under their command were occasionally destroyed.

It was normal for one or two disciples to die outside.

It was also normal for one or two small foundation-building families that depended on the sect to be destroyed.

But after eight years, the sect continued to lose people. There were only five Jindan real people sitting in the sect, but the disciples did not dare to go out. How could this be?

Ancestral Hall.

"Master, another disciple of a small family that depended on the sect came to ask for help."

The five Jindan real people of Bishui Sect gathered together, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.

"If this goes on, the family vassals under my Bishui Sect will be alienated from the sect."

"Damn it, these guys dare not come to my sect's mountain gate, but use such despicable means, which is shameful for cultivators."

Xuan Ling Zhenren scolded.

Since the sect has two more Jindan Zhenren, Bishui Sect has been watched like a monkey on the mountain. Everyone is curious and greedy about how Bishui Sect got the opportunity.

Can't you think that it was the Bishui Sect cultivators who were extremely talented and caused the Jindan Heavenly Tribulation by themselves!

The sect is based on the purpose of hiding and developing, and is preparing to improve its internal strength by one level, so that it can completely dominate the State of Chu and shock other countries.

Unexpectedly, those Jindan sects outside don't talk about immortal virtue.

In order to find out where Bishui Sect got the opportunity, they first started to attack the disciples outside the sect, hoping to find out the reason through the mouths of the sect disciples.

But these disciples don't know anything. Even now, only the three old Jindan know about the opportunity.

Seeing that they could not find opportunities from the disciples, the people outside did not give up, but intensified their efforts. They not only hunted down the monks of the Bishui Sect, but also began to attack the small families under the Bishui Sect.

As a last resort, the sect sent out the fake Dan elders to support, and they were immediately besieged. Fortunately, they were well prepared in advance, and the fake Dan elders fled back in embarrassment.

Now they either sent out the Jindan Zhenren or just watched.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that the people outside were waiting for them, the Jindan Zhenren, to go out.

"Sect Master, I would just close the mountain gate for thirty years, no matter what happens outside."

The newly promoted Jindan Zhenren Xuanshui spoke. He was only over 200 years old and had more courage.

"These people obviously want to get the two senior brothers Xuanling out and then force them to tell us the whereabouts of the opportunity. How can we fall for their tricks?"

Although Xuanshui didn't know where the elixir for his promotion to Jindan came from, he clearly remembered that when they were promoted to Jindan eight years ago, the sect master and the two elders were injured.

Combined with the elixir obtained, it is likely that the sect has found a place of opportunity as speculated by the outside world.

"As long as the mountain gate of my Bishui Sect is still there, there will be many small families in the future."

Xuanshui's words made everyone present frown. This idea can be said to be the safest.

After closing the mountain for thirty years, the two newly promoted Jindan will be able to stabilize their realm, and maybe even improve a little. Their injuries will also be healed, and the strength of Bishui Sect will reach its peak.

But...

"The foundation of our Bishui Sect is in Chu State. Not to mention those small foundation-building families outside, how many disciples and their families are outside the sect?"

"Before, the disciples outside died one after another, and the sect did nothing, and there were already complaints in the sect."

Xuanshui said, "Brother, I insist on my opinion just now. I don't believe that they dare to destroy all the vassal families and the relatives of the disciples. That would be better."

The system in the sect of cultivating immortals respects strength. When Xuanshui was still building the foundation, he naturally called the sect master "Uncle". After he was promoted to the Golden Core, his seniority was raised by one generation and he became the ancestor of the sect.

"Langyue, what do you think?"

The leader of Bishui Sect looked at another newly promoted Golden Core cultivator.

Langyue Zhenren looked like a woman in her twenties, and she was a little undecided at the moment.

The leader of Bishui Sect sighed. The sects outside were pressing step by step, and the resentment in the sect was growing. He understood that what Xuanshui said was the most correct choice.

But as the leader, he didn't dare to do so.

Why can the sect control the independent cultivators and crush them at will? It is because the sect is a whole, with a complete set of immortal cultivation paths, which can guarantee the inheritance of internal Qi training to the golden elixir level, so that all disciples have the possibility of becoming a sect and making a curse, and guarantee the loyalty of the sect disciples.

Otherwise, how could Shi Sichang send the opportunity back to the sect before?

This is also the confidence of the sect to crush and drive independent cultivators.

But once the sect loses the loyalty of its disciples, it will bury a great hidden danger.

After a long sigh, the leader of the Bishui Sect looked at the people present.

"Our sect has a plan that can swallow wolves and chase tigers. If the plan succeeds, then my Bishui Sect will unify the nine countries' immortal cultivation world!"

"Sect Master, you want to!"

Xuan Ling was startled and immediately objected.

"No, that is the foundation of my Bishui Sect's rise."

Hearing Xuan Ling say this, Xuanshui and Langyue both pricked up their ears.

As the recipients of the sect's opportunity, they were not clear about the details, and all they had were the same guesses as those outside.

"Master, have you forgotten what happened decades ago?"

"This is absolutely not allowed."

...

After half an incense stick.

In the smoke-filled ancestral hall, Master Bishui led the four Jindan monks of the sect to burn incense towards the ancestral tablet.

"Master, bless us, and let our Bishui sect survive this disaster!"

After burning incense, Master Bishui turned around and looked at the four Jindan monks of the sect.

Although Xuan Ling had objected before, he finally gave in. Of course, the plan was compromised and the investigation was carried out first.

"Elders Xuanling and Shuiyuan, after you leave the sect, go directly into the depths of the wilderness, take turns driving the spirit ship along the way, don't be afraid of consuming spirit stones, and ensure your own safety."

"The purpose of this trip is to find out how many Jindan cultivators are following, so as to prepare for the plan of swallowing wolves and chasing tigers."

"Our sect will also leave the sect and enter the wilderness according to the real-time situation encountered by the two elders, and make real-time judgments."

"If there are really so many cultivators eyeing our sect, then hide directly in the depths of the wilderness and wait for us to reunite, and the plan of swallowing wolves and chasing tigers will be abandoned."

"When the time comes, the three of us will reunite and then kill back to the sect."

"Yuanshui and Langyue will be stationed at the mountain gate, open the formation and be ready to respond at any time."

...

The leader of Bishui Sect has made all the arrangements, and there is a follow-up to his plan, but he didn't say it.

That is, if the plan of swallowing wolves and chasing tigers with the help of the formation inside the opportunity fails, they will most likely be attacked on the way back from the wilderness.

Even if he was not attacked, he would pretend to be attacked and severely injured, and return to the sect in a bloody and embarrassed state for all the disciples to see.

At that time, the resentment in the hearts of the sect disciples would be calmed.

Even the sect master and the elders were beaten to vomit blood. It was obviously a major crisis for the sect, which could inspire the sect disciples to believe in the same hatred of the enemy. At that time, they could open the formation to close the mountain gate.

Thirty years later, in the situation of the longer and shorter.

…

On this day, a spirit ship rushed out of the mountain gate of the Bishui Sect, and immediately turned into a flash of lightning and rushed into the sky and disappeared.

"Bishui Sect is out!"

At the same time, a number of communication jade talismans lit up.

For eight years, the Bishui Sect has been a turtle, but it has made people more convinced that it has obtained a great opportunity.

There is a lesson from the past. Although the fourth-level medieval ruins decades ago were not lost by any sect, it was indeed a real opportunity.

A horse cannot grow fat without night grass, and a monk cannot become rich without opportunities. This is an eternal truth.

"Haha..."

Thousands of miles outside the Bishuixian City, the harsh and unpleasant crows rang out, and suddenly a group of strong demonic energy sprang out from the depths of the earth, transformed into large black birds in the air, and fled into the distance.

…

Youhuang Valley.

“Valley Master, the secret agent in the Bishui Sect sent back the news that the two old guys Xuanling and Shuiyuan drove the spirit ship straight into the depths of the wilderness.”

Youhuang Valley Master Hua Ling Zhenren frowned. Although he had always wanted to know what kind of opportunity the Bishui Sect had obtained, he was still a little unsure when the time came, lest there was a fraud.

For a while, all the cultivators who were secretly observing the Bishui Sect moved.

…

In the depths of the Jiyuan Mountain, the winding earth-yellow spirit vein trembled slightly, and the spiritual energy emanating from the spirit vein swept in all directions.

Then, it passed through the thick earth and poured into the mountains and fields. The nearby grass and trees shook slightly as if they were electrocuted, and the branches and leaves also had more spiritual light than before.

Next to the spiritual vein, Shen Lian stood quietly. He gently touched the head of the dragon vein, which looked like a dragon head, and his palm reached in at once when it fell.

At present, the concentration of spiritual energy in the core area of ​​this spiritual vein has almost reached the third-grade upper grade, but the core area is only a few dozen feet in size.

From the core area outward, the quality of spiritual energy decreases layer by layer, until the concentration of spiritual energy hundreds of miles away is almost the same as that of the free spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

"Little spiritual vein, you're welcome."

After taking his hand back from the spiritual vein, Shen Lian's mind fell on the winding body of the spiritual vein.

In the place covered by the spiritual vein, the foundation stones of the formation that were integrated with the soil and rocks underground did not show any signs of runes.

This degree of concealment, in addition to the means of concealment he used, the rest was the help of this spiritual vein.

It can be seen from this that although the spirit veins are not like living creatures like humans, they also exist with "spirits" and know how to repay kindness.

Now, the number of formations superimposed on the spirit vein has reached 24, which has also reached the current limit of the spirit vein's support.

It's not that the formations can't be superimposed, but adding more will be counterproductive and wasteful, which is the best state at present.

Shen Lian estimated that if all the formations were activated, even if a veteran Yuanying early stage cultivator came, there would be a 70% to 80% chance of dying here.

But 70% to 80% is too low.

Therefore, he arranged several more superimposed formations nearby, using medium-grade spirit stones as the driving source to make up for the difference of 20% to 30%.

Doing this does not mean that Shen Lian really wants to provoke Yuanying, but after waiting for eight years, he accidentally improved his backhand to the current level.

If he really wants to activate the formation, this small spirit vein underground that has just recovered will also face a catastrophe.

Besides, looking at the Wanxing Sea and even the South Sea, the only Yuanying cultivator of the human race is Mo Long, the ancestor of the Yuanying.

Even if there are hidden ones, there are probably not many.

Unless there is a hidden Yuanying old monster in the wilderness.

But Shen Lian doesn't think he will be so unlucky.

Watching the spirit veins return to calm, his figure disappeared underground and returned to his cave.

Eight years have passed, and he has practiced step by step, but still hasn't touched the bottleneck of the late Jindan. He still has enough high-quality elixirs and perfect spiritual roots to absorb vigorously.

It is conceivable that it is normal for those cultivators who have promoted to Jindan to stay in a small realm for seventy, eighty, or even hundreds of years.

It took him more than 20 years to advance from the early Jindan to the middle stage. Considering the cultivation environment between the two, Shen Lian estimated that the time he spent touching the bottleneck of the late Jindan should be about the same as before.

That's it.

Practice step by step, quietly waiting for the wind and clouds to change.

Life is very stable.
