Chapter 442 – One Year

“What a brilliant escape technique. Seems like it is no less than the top five escape techniques’ escape techniques!”

A slightly plump, square-faced large-eared cultivator in his fifties walked over from more than a hundred zhang away.

Yan Dazhi immediately cupped his hands and bowed: “Sect Leader Martial Uncle, if it weren’t for you taking action, I’m afraid that I would have ended up in Ouyang Peilin’s hands.”

Originally, he was an extremely low profile existence in the Yuzhou, but today, he had appeared as a cultivator of Heavenly Dipper Realm. At the very least, he was the fourth Heavenly Dipper Master in the Yuzhou cultivation world after the Taoist Lin Xiao, Adept Xiao, and Adept Yan.

The Adept Chang Li waved his hand and said, “This is all due to this old man not expecting it. I never thought that this Demonic Cultivator would actually be so strong, and even more so did not expect that the cultivators of this old man’s current Heavenly Dipper Realm would still be unable to keep him.”

Yan Dazhi hesitated: “Maybe because Junior Master’s cultivation has just risen and is not familiar with the cultivation of the Heavenly Dipper Realm Realm, that’s why Ouyang Peilin can take advantage of it.”

Adept Chang Li shook his head gravely: “It’s true that this old man had just levelled up in Heavenly Dipper Realm, but this Ouyang Peilin’s strength is also outstanding, he relied on his own strength to escape from this old man’s hands, you don’t have to help this old man put on makeup for me on this point, but now that he has been injured by this old man, I’m afraid that he will not be around Yu Cheng for another one or two years.”

After the Adept Chang Li finished speaking, he saw that Yan Dazhi was taking back his flying sword, and could not help but say: “Junior Disciple Yan, your flying sword needs to be replaced with a Spirit Treasure, if not with your talent in sword arts, even if it is only in terms of cultivation, when fighting with Ouyang Peilin previously, you should not have been in such a sorry state!”

Yan Dazhi laughed bitterly and said: “What Martial Uncle said makes sense, but flying swords are hard to come by, spirit treasures are even rarer. Even in our Tan Xi Sect, flying swords do not have spirit treasures.”

The Adept Chang Li smiled and said, “I heard that the Damascus Seal Sect has quite a bit of Star Sand, which is at least of the middle grade spirit materials. Furthermore, it is one of the most suitable spirit materials to refine a flying sword.

Yan Dazhi’s expression shook, and said: “Martial Uncle, are you going to take action against the Damascus Seal Faction in the end?”

The Adept Chang Li sneered, “The people of the Yuzhou’s cultivation world thought that their sect would only start a war of extermination against the Venerable Da Xi Clan after Senior Yan has advanced to the next level. Even the people of the Venerate Seal Sect do not doubt that their sect is completely invulnerable unless Senior Yan has advanced to the next level of Taihang Realm, how could they know that Senior Yan did not go into closed door cultivation at all? Instead, I was the one who had truly broken through the bottleneck!”

“The Damascus Seal Faction boasted that only Taihang Realm Cultivators can break through their mountain gates. This old man wants to see if the combined forces of two Heavenly Dipper Realm Cultivators can compare to a Grand Astral Cultivator!”

A hint of fanaticism flashed across Yan Dazhi’s face as well, and he said: “The time for us Tan Xi Sect to unite and unite Xi’an County is finally here.”

“It’s not that simple. Even if we can eliminate the Damascus Seal Sect this time, the Xi’an County and the Qixi Sect as well, these two sects will definitely get help from outside the Xi’an County. No one is willing to see us unifying the Xi’an County.”

Yan Dazhi’s face froze when he heard that, and said: “That’s nothing. After exterminating the Damascus Seal Sect, the general situation of the Xi’an County is already in my Tan Xi Sect.

The Adept Chang Li smiled and nodded his head, but Yan Dazhi did not see the heaviness that flashed past his eyes: I’m afraid that Da Zhi isn’t suitable to be the next Tan Xi Sect Sect Leader, whaity!

How could things be so simple? Alien Cultivator had already descended more and more onto this world, and now, they had started to wantonly wander around this world, so what awaited them was definitely a huge upheaval. In this kind of upheaval, even cultivators at the late stage of the realms of life were just ignorant chess pieces.

Perhaps only those who had advanced into the Dao Realm would be able to see through the secrets of this world. However, they would probably only be able to do so.

The only thing he could do now was to work together with Senior Yan to protect the entire Tan Xi Sect and safely survive the upcoming great change.

When Adept Chang Li sensed that Yan Qinxi and the others were thinking of gathering here, he said to Yan Dazhi, “Junior Apprentice Nephew Yan, continue to escort these juniors and then quickly return to the sect. When this old man makes a move today, then the news of this old man’s cultivation advancing Heavenly Dipper Realm will immediately spread throughout the entire Yuzhou’s cultivation world.

In a year’s time, and Yang Junping’s cultivation had been pushed to the peak of the Baleful Qi Realm, and they had even broken through a bottleneck to advance to the late stage of martial arts realm. It was not impossible for them to be nourished by the spirit river in the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s top stone room, let alone the sufficient supply of spirit pellets.

Even though Yang Junshan had repeatedly urged the two of them to cultivate the body forging technique, they could only temporarily alleviate the hidden dangers of their rapid growth in cultivation. In the future, after the two of them advance to the late stage of martial arts realm, they would definitely enter a long period of cultivation stagnation to compensate for the hidden dangers caused by their fast growth in cultivation. However, in the face of the Yang Family, whose reserves were as shallow as paper, they could not care less.

In reality, after cultivating for merely ten months, Su Baozhang’s cultivation had already entered the baleful qi realm, and two months later, when Yang Junping’s cultivation had also reached the same realm, Su Baozhang had already started to attack the late stage of the martial arts realm with the assistance of the medicinal pellets.

Yang Junshan laid a mini spirit controlling array around Su Baozhang, sealing off the violent spirit energy ripples caused by his advancement into a certain space, so that neither the light barrier around the entrance of the stone room nor Yang Junping who was currently cultivating would be affected.

Just like that, another two months passed, when Su Baozhang stabilized his cultivation with the help of the dense Spirit Qi, Yang Junping finally had a breakthrough.

After staying in the stone room for one year and four months, the two of them had finally stabilized their late stage of martial arts realm. At this time, the three Spiritual Beads, under the nourishment of the array formation and the dense spirit energy in the stone room, had finally formed into the Source Spirit Beads.

“You should also know that this time you have taken a shortcut to advance into the late stage of martial arts realm. It’s just that the current situation of the clan and the changes that may happen in the future no longer allow you to cultivate step by step and after this advancement, I’m afraid that you will have to spend a longer period of time in the Pure Qi Realm to consolidate your foundation. Only then will you be able to welcomesurgence in your cultivation.”

Yang Junping said indifferently: “Big brother, how old am I now? When father was my age, I probably just got married to mother not long ago, at most, I only have the cultivation of the Muddy Qi Realm. I can afford to wait for three to two years.”

Su Baozhang also laughed: “If it wasn’t for uncle and Little Shan, then whether or not I would be able to advance to the martial arts realm is already a problem, not to mention that I am already a cultivator of the martial arts realm, and my cultivation is only being delayed, not abandoned. Furthermore, it is impossible for me to be affected to the great circle of perfection in the future, or even be able to reach the realms of life.”

Seeing that the two of them were not bothered about it, Yang Junshan laughed: “Since that’s the case, then we will have to rush back to Wasteland Town as soon as possible. Now that I think about it, the great battle to tame Sunset Ridge has already begun, although we do not need to participate in it, but Opening Spirit School suffered a huge loss last time, so we need to be prepared this time.”

Yang Junping immediately jumped up from the ground after hearing what was said, and said: “Then let’s not delay this any longer!”

Unexpectedly, Yang Junshan said instead: “I’m not busy. Come, let’s try and see if we can break through that barrier of light at the entrance of the stone room.”

In fact, Yang Junshan did not believe that the true disciples of the three Heaven-Shaken Sect s who had already come to the stone room would not have the idea of breaking this barrier. If the three Perfection of the cultivator s were to join hands and were unable to break the barrier, would they be stronger than Zhang Yueming and the other two who had just advanced to the late stage of martial arts realm?

But if he did not go and give iry, Yang Junshan would definitely be unwilling!

Yang Junshan and Su Baozhang’s spirit of breaking mountain, Yang Junping’s clematis. The three sacred arts struck the barrier of light that was the entrance to the stone room.

With a muffled boom, the barrier of light suddenly expanded, and the entire stone room began to fiercely tremble before rapidly rebounding back. A huge wave of spirit energy counterattacked, causing Yang Junshan’s expression to instantly change.

“Go, go, leave this place!”

Yang Junshan pulled the two of them, and turned and ran towards the center of the cave entrance.

Yang Junping and Su Baozhang did not dare delay, they quickly followed behind Yang Junshan and ran, while behind them, a violent storm followed closely, as though it was a gigantic beast that could engulf them at any time.

The three of them jumped into the tunnel’s exit, barely avoiding the danger from behind them. Yang Junping said with lingering fear in his heart, “Brother, what was that just now?

Yang Junshan took two deep breaths and turned his head to look at the stone room outside of the cave entrance. He saw that the spirit energy inside the stone room was already boiling, the waves hitting the stone wall creating muffled sounds, as if someone was knocking on the door with a gigantic hammer.

“Forget it, we won’t go back. We will go down the mountain and leave the Yu Cheng!”

Yang Junshan saw that the movements in the stone room would not be able to calm down in a short period of time, since he had achieved his goal by coming to the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s stone room, he did not linger and directly brought the two of them down the mountain.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the three of them left the abandoned manor and changed their appearances. When they appeared on the second day in Yu Cheng, no one from the Yu Clan would be able to recognize them.

They naturally included the news of Ouyang Peilin being severely injured by the Adept Chang Li in the southeast wilderness more than a year ago. The Jade Sword Sect and the Yuxiao Sect’s direct disciples had teamed up together to break the seal on the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s, and there were also foreign cultivators who roamed around the Heaven-Shaking Peak, clashing with local cultivators, and so on.

However, one of the most sensational events was the incident one year ago when the broke into the Mountain Gate and swallowed the Damascus Sect in the end.
