What If I Can't Die?

by Legrev

Song Shi came to an immortal world where demons and monsters were rampant. He thought he was going to take a trepidatious road to immortality, but ended up awakening to a death-defying system, gaining strength from death and getting stronger every time he died. The whole style took a sudden change. Other people cultivated to seek immortality, but he was already immortal, and could

231 At Least I've Got Some Bite

"What a powerful body!"

The person who drew the sword landed in front of Song Shi with a shocked expression.

He was dressed in a white robe and had a thin face. His figure stopped like a sword, and his Aura was unstoppable. He had the aura of a sword that could cut through mountains and rivers.

He carried six swords on his back and held one in his hand. The graceful strike just now was released by this sword.

Zenith Heaven Sword King!

Song Shi recalled the scene in the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range and recognized this person.

The person he could only look up to back then was now on par with him.

"Let her go!"

The Zenith Heaven Sword King demanded.

"You're lucky I didn't kill her. And that's only because she's pretty."

Song Shi hugged her small waist and touched Chen Yiling's face, "You should know that it's you who attacked first."

"Don't touch me."

Chen Yiling glared at Song Shi, and her cheeks turned red instinctively.

"There might be some misunderstanding between us."

The Zenith Heaven Sword King took a step back. He was afraid that this person would harm Chen Yiling's life.

"It's not just a little bit of a misunderstanding. Ever since I got here, you've all been full of yourselves."

Song Shi sneered. "I don't care what Great Qian does, but I'm not interested in taking taking the blame or be left with the punishment."

The Zenith Heaven Sword King looked at Song Shi's powerful body and nodded. "You shouldn't be from the Sacred Fire Sect. You're not in the intelligence report we received. Moreover, their cultivation techniques doesn't value body refinement. It's impossible for someone of the sect to cultivate a body like yours."

"You've got some brains."

Song Shi chuckled.

"Then please let my disciple go."

"I'm sorry, but from how you acted just now, I don't trust you."

Song Shi pointed in the air and suddenly retreated.

He sensed that many Zenith Heaven Guards were sealing off his escape route. In addition, this Zenith Heaven Sword King was not weak. There was no need to continue using this identity to cause trouble for the Song family.

The Zenith Heaven Sword King's expression darkened. He formed a seal and pointed. The six swords on his back were all unsheathed. In an instant, sword qi soared into the sky.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The six swords scattered into a sword net and shot at Song Shi. The Zenith Heaven Sword King followed closely behind, wanting to keep Song Shi behind.

Song Shi pursed his lips and fiddled with Chen Yilinga few times, causing Chen Yiling's hands and feet to be like octopuses wrapped around him.

"Stop being obscene!"

Chen Yiling was extremely embarrassed. At this moment, she was hugging Song Shi's neck tightly in an extremely intimate position. Her legs were wrapped around Song Shi's waist.

She had never been so intimate with a man before. Even though she had her heart and soul Integrated into the Sword Dao path, her reaction was similar to that of an ordinary young woman.

The Zenith Heaven Sword King's expression changed. He had no choice but to stop his attack. Otherwise, even if he cut Song Shi into pieces, his disciple would also be torn into pieces.

He suddenly retracted his attack, causing the Nomological power in his body to surge. His blood qi was chaotic, and his face turned red.

The other Zenith Heaven Guards did not dare to attack and could only follow.

Song Shi grinned. "If you don't want her to break her arms and legs, it's best not to do anything."

The Zenith Heaven Sword King had a murderous look on his face. "If you dare to hurt her at all, you won't be able to escape!"

"I'm not afraid of threats!"

Song Shi sneered and immediately kissed Chen Yiling. He sighed and said, "Your face is really soft and bouncy."

"Shameless!"

Chen Yiling gritted his teeth, "Kill me if you are a real man."

The Zenith Heaven Guards was so angry that his sword qi was in a mess. He said with a dark expression, "Sir, you're also a Golden Core. Aren't you being too lowly?"

"I'm not a righteous person. Is it important that I am lowly?"

Song Shi didn't seem to care. He even deliberately pulled a strand of Chen Yiling's hair. "I am hurting a strand of her hair right now. What can you do?"

The Zenith Heaven Sword King's expression turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, "Don't go overboard."

"I will go overboard. Kill me then."

Song Shi pushed his luck and deliberately kissed Chen Yiling again. All the Zenith Heaven Guards were so angry that they trembled and started cursing.

"You old fart, don't you dare insult Miss Yiling!"

"Shameless. You're a few hundred years old and you're still bullying a little girl."

"Let go of Miss Yiling if you can. I'll be the hostage!"

The group of people were filled with righteous indignation. In their hearts, Chen Yiling was like a fairy. Usually, they could only watch from afar. Why did outsiders like him have the chance to take advantage of her?

It would have been better if they had not scolded him. After that, Song Shi was agitated and became even more outrageous.

"Alright, shut up!"

The Zenith Heaven Sword King could tell that this person was a shameless person. He stopped the others and stared coldly at Song Shi, "Leave. If you dare to hurt my disciple, you know what will happen."

"At least you have some awareness. I didn't want to cause trouble today, but you forced me to. If you find trouble with me in the future…"

Song Shi paused. He did not know how to threaten him, so he glanced at Chen Yiling, "If you dare to provoke me, I'll make her pregnant."

With that, he flew out with Chen Yiling.

"Damn it, he's too arrogant!"

"What kind of person is this? How f*cking shameless."

"I really want to slash him to death!"

The Zenith Heaven Guards exploded on the spot. All of them were indignant and wished they could cut Song Shi into pieces.

"I told you to shut up!"

The Zenith Heaven Sword King glanced at everyone coldly. The Zenith Heaven Guards shrunk their necks and fell silent.

"Sword King, are we really going to let him go just like that?"

Someone asked unwillingly.

The Zenith Heaven Sword King snorted. "Do you think I don't want to keep him? Although we only exchanged one move, this person's strength is not inferior to mine. Yiling is also in his hands. How can I stop him?"

The latter opened his mouth. Thinking about how that person shamelessly used Chen Yiling as a defensive method, it was really not easy to stop him.

Unless he had the absolute ability to prevent the other party from injuring Chen Yiling.

"Furthermore, this person shouldn't be from the Sacred Fire Sect. He might not even be from Great Qian. Otherwise, there wouldn't be no information about him in the intelligence report."

The Zenith Heaven Sword King continued, "But we can't rule out the possibility that he disguised himself. Immediately get the Intelligence unit to investigate. We can't let this person affect our subsequent actions."

…

Song Shi successfully escaped. Seeing that no one was chasing after him, he nodded. "Your master is quite bold. I don't dare to hurt you because you have the background of being an official in Great Qian."

Chen Yiling glared at Song Shi, "You defied my innocence. Even if you don't kill me, I won't let you off for the rest of my life!"

"Sure, then marry me and give birth to my child to torture me."

Song Shi smiled ambiguously.

"Shameless!"

Chen Yiling really did not know how to deal with this fellow. She could not move and scolding was useless. For a moment, she was especially angry and almost cried.

At least I've got some bite"

Song Shi grinned, revealing his white and neat teeth.

Chen Yiling felt like she was about to explode out of anger. She bit Song Shi's ear hard.

She didn't believe that biting his fragile body part would not hurt the other party.

"…"

Song Shi's ear hurt slightly. Fortunately, his Physique was strong, so he used some Nomological power to block her hard teeth.

He gave a strange laugh, "Are you making out with me?"

"Pui."

Chen Yiling let go and spat out a mouthful of saliva. Seeing that Song Shi's ears were intact, she felt despair.

This guy's body was indestructible and he was especially shameless. Physically and psychologically, he was invincible. She really had no choice but to sigh and close her eyes in resignation.

Song Shi knew that he had indeed made Chen Yi's depressed. He stopped and said seriously, "Actually, you guys were the ones who caused this to happen. Don't just blame me. If your side didn't make a move, would such a thing have happened?"

232 Why Do You Have the Sword Body Spiritual Conduit Too?

"But that doesn't hide the fact that you're shameless!"

Chen Yiling replied coldly.

"Your resentment is quite strong, but if you didn't provoke me, would I have done this?"

Song Shi refused to admit it, "If you guys didn't make a move, I would have turned around and left."

Chen Yiling pursed her red lips and did accept his explanation, "Who asked you to come over at this time? You must have ulterior motives."

"Hehe, I said that I was here to exterminate the Sacred Fire Sect. I would have thanked you for exterminating me first. It's a pity that you all actually wanted to exterminate me."

At this point, Song Shi felt that there was no need to reason with the woman. He decisively stopped and changed the topic. "Other than exterminating the Sacred Fire Sect, you all probably have planned to do this to other sects right?"

"What does it have to do with you? Are you from the Demonic Cults?"

Chen Yiling opened her eyes and stared coldly at Song Shi.

"Oh, does that mean that you're going to attack the many demonic sects?"

Song Shi seemed to be deep in thought. "How generous. Taking advantage of the fact that the people of the demonic sect are occupied by the Langya Immortal Meeting, you guys are secretly ambushing them? Tsk tsk, this makes you guys look rather lowly."

"Hmph, what's the point of reasoning with you heretics?"

"That's not right. You can call the demonic cults despicable, but I can't call you despicable? What double standards."

Chen Yiling was stunned and thought to herself that it seemed to be the case. For a moment, she did not know how to refute.

Although she felt that this person was right, she would not admit it. She raised her head and said firmly, "In any case, there's no need to pay attention to the morals of the martial world when dealing with evil."

"Then there's no need to talk about morality when I deal with you."

"I'm not evil!"

"…"

Song Shi was speechless. Chen Yiling looked neat and tidy, but why was she so stubborn?

He looked at Chen Yiling's face. Her skin was rosy and even prettier than suet white jade. It was full of elasticity. She had beautiful eyebrows, starry eyes, a beautiful nose, and white teeth. She was really too beautiful.

Not only was this woman beautiful, but she was also especially perfect in all her other traits.

Knock, knock.

Chen Yiling's heart palpitated. Her cheeks were rosy and she did not dare to look Song Shi in the eye. She turned her head away and said, "You're finally free. So let me go."

"No, you have to continue to be my hostage for a while. I'm afraid you'll take revenge on my family."

Song Shi shook his head. With the strong intelligence of the Zenith Heaven Guards, even if he had used his false identity, they would definitely be able to find traces of his relationship with the Song family. If he was careless, Song Hai would be in trouble.

"I'll make sure your family doesn't get into trouble."

Chen Yiling said seriously.

"I don't trust you, much less the Zenith Heaven Guards."

Song Shi shook his head. "Follow me obediently. You'll be provided with food and accommodation. I guarantee that I'll raise you until you're fair and fat."

Chen Yiling was speechless. She could not help but think of something this fellow had said before.

She would gain weight if she was pregnant…

For a moment, she was even more confused.

"How can my sword heart being messed up because of him?"

Chen Yiling reminded herself in her heart and forced herself to recite the meditation incantation silently. Gradually, she calmed down.

The redness on her face gradually dissipated, and she became dignified. A pure white light was released from her body, and there was the faint crisp sound of a sword ringing, as if an immortal had descended to the world… Of course, just by looking at her intimate posture while hugging Song Shi, she really did look like a female sword immortal.

Song Shi felt that his flying sword was responding to her. If not for his control, it would have flown out. He could not help but look surprised.

Was this the phenomenon of the Sword Body Spiritual Conduit?

At this moment, he felt that it was not a soft girl in his arms, but a sharp sword. It actually made him feel a sharp pain, not only physically, but also mentally.

"Sword intent?"

Song Shi was deep in thought. Sword intent was spiritual will. It was a type of spiritual cultivation method that could increase the lethality of True Essence and Nomological power. It was said that powerful sword intent could form a sword with one's will and directly destroy the enemy's soul.

He became interested and landed in a quiet forest. He threw out a formation plate to isolate the surroundings and began to observe seriously, wanting to see if he could see what was going on with her sword intent.

With one look, Song Shi quickly entered the Illumination state.

His Dao Heart Illumination was similar to Chen Yiling's Sword Heart Illumination. In theory, his Dao Heart Illumination was stronger, and he could not only comprehend the Sword Dao.

In the Illumination state, Song Shi, who had never cultivated the Sword Dao, quickly grasped the trick of the Sword Dao. His mental will began to change.

Ads by Pubfuture

Song Shi's mental strength was powerful to begin with. He had even condensed a Spirit Golden Core, but it was only powerful and of relatively high quality. Its lethality had not been fully developed.

Now, under the guidance of the Sword Dao, his Spiritual Force began to become sharper, like an iron stone that had been forged into a weapon.

In his Spiritual Sea, the pure white Spiritual Golden Core slowly revealed a sharp edge, as if it had turned into a sharp sword.

The aura around Song Shi became sharper. Amidst his Nomological power fluctuations, there was a faint sound of metal reverberating. The Metal Stats life source in his body resonated.

He had two types of Stats Spiritual Roots—Metal and Fire. The source of the Metal Stats Spiritual Root fused into his body and became the foundation of his Diamond Spirit Body.

Now that this portion of power was mobilized by the sword intent, not only could it play a defensive role, but it could also unleash sharp attacks if he needed it.

As Song Shi's comprehension deepened, the sharp aura on his body intensified. A crisp sword hum echoed, unknowingly forming a resonance with Chen Yiling's sword body.

For a time, it was as if two peerless spirit swords had appeared, and they echoed and promoted each other from afar.

When Song Shi's Spirit Golden Core turned into a Sword Pill, the Sword Intent on Song Shi's body reached its peak. Under the influence of his Resistance, the surrounding vegetation turned into powder. Even the rocks had sword marks that shattered.

Runes containing sharp aura appeared on the surface of Song Shi's body like swords. The protective Will-O-Wisp transformed into sharp sword aura. His entire body became show off one's ability, like a human-shaped spiritual sword.

"Ding… Congratulations on comprehending sword intent and awakening the Sword Body Spiritual Conduit!"

A system notification appeared in his ears, and Song Shi was stunned.

"I can do that?"

He pondered for a moment and realized that after combining his Illumination Dao heart, sword intent, and Diamond Spirit Body, he had an additional Physique.

He hurriedly checked the introduction.

…

Low-grade Sword Body Spiritual Conduit: An excellent Physique for Sword Dao cultivation. It can double one's attack power. This Physique can only be improved through body tempering and comprehension of the Sword Dao.

…

Song Shi could see one advantage.

His attack power doubled.

As for the rest, the Sword Body Spiritual Conduit focused more on the cultivation of sword intent. His physique had not changed much for the time being.

However, from then on, his body gained terrifying destructive power, unlike the Diamond Spirit Body that was only strong and resistant to beatings.

With the appearance of the Sword Body Spiritual Conduit, Song Shi felt that his every move could unleash sharp attacks. Coupled with his Diamond Spirit Body, his body had indeed transformed into a terrifying weapon.

While Song Shi was experiencing his new Physique, Chen Yiling was alarmed. She opened her bright eyes and said in disbelief, "You… Why do you have the Sword Body Spiritual Conduit too?"

233 The More You Know, the More Dangerous It Is

"I saw that you had one, so I comprehended one too."

Song Shi chuckled. "How is it? Am I powerful?"

"…"

The corners of Chen Yiling's mouth twitched. He muttered, "How can you comprehend it so easily? I'm the only one in the entire Great Qian. It can be seen how rare this Talent is."

"Isn't there one more now? Then you won't be lonely anymore in the future, right?"

Song Shi teased.

"Who's lonely? I think you have a similar Talent as me to begin with, but you lacked an opportunity. You must have secretly watched me cultivate just now and activated your Talent."

Chen Yiling guessed and looked at Song Shi with a complicated gaze, "No wonder I had a strange feeling about you."

"You must have fallen in love at first sight because you were attracted to me, right?" Song Shi grinned. He was super shameless.

"How could I like an old man like you?"

Chen Yiling snorted. At this point, she hesitated for a moment, "Your current appearance is not your real appearance, right, Song Shi?"

Song Shi's expression changed. He frowned and asked, "How did you recognize me?"

Crack!

His bones made a crisp sound, and his flesh squirmed. In the blink of an eye, he returned to normal and transformed into a graceful young master.

Chen Yiling watched in a daze as her eyes flashed. "It's really you, but I'm not sure if it's Song Shi now. After all, you've been possessed by the Blood-Robed old ghost and the Ye Family's patriarch one after another. In that case, you are an old monster. There's a high chance that you are the Blood-Robed old ghost."

"Is age very important for cultivators?"

Song Shi did not explain who he was. He said with ill intentions, "Since you know that I'm the Blood-Robed old ghost. Aren't you afraid of losing your chastity?"

Chen Yiling paused on purpose and could only put on a tough front, "How dare you!"

"What's there to be afraid of? I, the Blood-Robed old ghost, kill people like flies and do all kinds of evil. Isn't it normal for me to impregnate you?"

When Chen Yiling heard this, he looked at Song Shi in a daze. "You're not the Blood-Robed old ghost, you're Song Shi! Impossible, how can you be Song Shi? How did you escape being possessed by a Golden Core like the Blood-Robed old ghost, or even a Nascent Soul like Patriarch Ye?"

Song Shi narrowed his eyes. How did this woman discover that he was Song Shi and not the Blood-Robed old ghost?

"You are indeed Song Shi!"

Chen Yiling was shocked. "To be able to avoid being possessed by a Golden Core or even a Nascent Soul, you must have some soul-protecting treasure, right?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. Remember, I am the Blood-Robed old ghost!"

Song Shi did not admit it.

Chen Yiling chuckled, "I can sense who you are. There are some things that can't be hidden."

"How?" Song Shi was curious.

"Woman's intuition."

Chen Yiling raised her head. In fact, she could tell based on the Sword Body Spiritual Conduit and this person's temperament and demeanor.

She had also come into contact with Song Shi before, so she was certain that the Blood-Robed old ghost and Ye Wenzhong could not be like this.

"I don't know how to argue with that. You can think what you want."

Song Shi tactfully stopped arguing about this matter. Otherwise, he would feel like he had been exposed.

He stood up, put away the array disc and left with Chen Yiling in his arms.

In front of the Song residence, Chen Yiling was put down. Otherwise, it would be strange if she was seen carried by him.

Seeing the place where Song Shi came from, Chen Yiling smiled, "Blood-Robed old ghost and Ye Wenzhong won't care about the Song family's survival."

Song Shi glanced at her, "Chen Yiling, you're too smart."

The latter's smile widened, and she was even more certain of her deduction.

Song Shi continued, "You have to understand that the more you know, the more dangerous it will be. The more you know, the less likely I will let you leave."

Chen Yiling's expression changed. Oh no, she knew too many of this man's secrets. It would be even more troublesome for her to escape.

"Seventh brother, who is this?"

As soon as he entered, he saw Chen Yiling, who had an extraordinary aura. He winked and asked, "Sister-in-law?"

"Ahem, a friend. You can get to know her. She's an official from Great Qian and she is someone who can help you in the future

Song Shi coughed.

Chen Yiling smiled generously and introduced himself. "Hello, I'm Chen Yiling, the commander of the Zenith Heaven Sword Guards."

"Zenith Heaven Sword Guards…"

Song Hai was shocked for a moment and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, you're being too polite. I'm his older brother, Song Hai."

Chen Yiling blushed, "Brother Song, we really don't have that kind of relationship."

Song Shi was speechless. He knew that his fourth brother was doing this on purpose, so he did not explain further. He took out a jade plate. "Fourth Brother, this array disc is for you. It can set up a small Array Formation that is effective for those below the Golden Core realm. Also, if you pick up any cultivation resources along the way, take them with you."

He handed the array disc and Xie Shen's storage bag to Song Hai. "Don't stand on ceremony with me. I'll be leaving for a while."

"Are you leaving now? I still want to invite you to…"

Song Hai recalled that Chen Yiling was beside him and replaced the New Moon Brothel with a restaurant. He said, "I still wanted us to have a good drink."

"Let's forget about drinking. Have some tea instead."

Song Shi waved his hand and took out the Wisdom Tea. Previously, in order to drink tea, he had specially used the contribution points of the Heavenly Ghost Sect to exchange for tea sets and spiritual spring water.

When Chen Yiling saw the tea leaves, she walked over to take a look and said in surprise, "This is Wisdom Tea. I remember now. The Wisdom Tea Tree that your Heavenly Ghost Sect obtained in the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range previously."

"Brother, you're rich."

Song Hai's eyes lit up when he heard that. He rubbed his hands and said happily, "I heard that this tea can unlock wisdom and increase Comprehension. I'm really looking forward to the effect of drinking it."

"It'll clear your head."

Song Shi voiced out his feelings. He formed a seal and pointed at the tea table. The runes on it lit up and absorbed the power of the spirit stone to condense flames and start boiling water.

He looked at Chen Yiling. "Do you know how to make tea? If you do, you can do it. I don't know much. I only know how to heat tea leaves."

"Yes, I do."

Chen Yiling nodded decisively and stretched out her slender hands to fiddle with the tea set in an orderly manner.

"A lady from a wealthy family is indeed different."

Song Shi quietly admired it. Tea ceremony was also an art. He had enjoyed it a lot in the New Moon Brothel in the past.

"Old Seventh, it seems like you're really promising. I've only heard of this tea in rumors before."

Song Hai sighed.

"This was from an ancient tea tree. There aren't many of them in the entire Great Qian. It's indeed rare."

Chen Yiling nodded.

"Since I'm treating you to a drink, don't think too much."

Song Shi knew that his fourth brother was thinking too much. He shook his head. "You should know that Father and the others are at the third brother's place in Jinzhou, right?"

When Song Shi mentioned others, he did not avoid Chen Yiling's presence. With Chen Yiling's Ability, it was easy for her to investigate his family background.

"I know. Third Brother sent me a letter, but…"

At this point, Song Hai's face darkened, "He's mostly responsible for the family's accident. I'm still very unhappy that he's hiding in Jinzhou to freeload. I don't want to contact him anymore in this life!"

"Freeloader, to freeload?"

Song Shi was a little interested.

"He hooked up with a young lady from a cultivation family. That family is quite strong. It's also because of this that he abandoned the Zhang family's daughter back then."

Song Hai said something that Song Shi did not know.

"Stupid man!"

Chen Yiling snorted.

"He's indeed a scumbag, but we're innocent. We were even implicated by the trouble he caused. Don't you think it's unfair?"

The more Song Shi thought about it, the more displeased he became. Song Hu was living a good life outside and hugging beauties. Yet their house and assets had almost been stolen. How was this fair?

234 Sword Energy Threads

"Scumbag?"

Chen Yiling savored this novel name and said to Song Shi, "That name is quite suitable for you."

Song Shi's face darkened. "Don't slander me. When did I become a scumbag? I've always supported men having multiple wives and concubines. I'll take in whoever I like and never abandon them, so you don't have to worry."

"Shameless. Why should I be worried?"

Chen Yiling felt that she had been tricked. She snorted and lowered her head to boil tea seriously.

Song Hai winked and said, "Old Seven, you're in the Heavenly Ghost Sect now. Why are you with Miss Chen? Isn't that like a mouse being with a cat?"

"It can't be helped. I'm too handsome. Women who are both good and evil flock to me."

Song Shi said shamelessly.

Chen Yiling scoffed and wanted to splash tea on Song Shi's face.

Song Hai could tell that their relationship was a little strange. He tactfully did not ask further and returned talking about Song Hu. "Although Third Brother is shameless, he has been developing quite well recently. He even wanted me to go over and help him, but I rejected him."

Song Shi nodded, "I don't want to bother with him either, but you still have to keep an eye on Bei Bei and Dad. If possible, bring them back. I'm afraid that if something happens, Third Brother will sell them away first."

"Although it's not to that extent, since you've spoken, I'll try my best to bring them back."

Song Hai nodded, "I don't have an immortal root. After reaching the Connate realm, my cultivation speed will become slower and slower. In the future, I'll stay in my hometown. On the other hand, you have a bright future. You have to bring our family to glory in the future."

"I can bring you guys, but not Song Hu and Song Jia."

Song Shi was clear about gratitude and grudges and did not care much about blood ties.

"I heard that Song Jia's development is not bad. As for the specifics, Third Brother didn't say anything. I realized that our family is quite lucky and we will be blessed after surviving a calamity, especially you."

Song Hai sighed.

Song Shi pursed his lips. If not for him, the Song family would probably be finished.

If he did not have the system, the Song family members in Jinzhou would definitely have been killed by Hei Duzi. With that person's fortuitous opportunity and temperament, it would not be difficult for him to kill his third and fourth brothers outside after some time.

"Tea's ready."

Chen Yiling waved her hand handsomely and two teacups landed steadily in front of Song Shi and his brother. A faint fragrance filled the air and refreshed the heart.

There was dense Spiritual Qi in the tea, and there were also faint mysterious runes jumping. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.

Song Hai picked up his teacup and took a sip. Then, his body trembled and his eyes lit up. He was stunned on the spot.

He only felt a cooling power surging into his body and his entire mind immediately became clear, entering a rare ethereal state. The usual confusion about cultivation was quickly figured out by him at this moment.

Unknowingly, he entered a state of enlightenment.

"This tea's effect on low-level cultivators is actually so obvious. He only took a sip…"

Song Shi was stunned. "Why do I feel that the effect on me is very ordinary after drinking it? It seems that my Comprehension is too strong."

Upon hearing Song Shi's muttering, Chen Yiling rolled his eyes. "Why don't you take a look at your cultivation level? However, even if your cultivation level is high, the effect shouldn't be weak. After all, this is spirit tea."

As she spoke, her red lips parted slightly, and she took a sip gracefully. Just like Song Hai, his eyes, which were as pure and flawless as the stars, brightened a little, but not by that much.

"The fragrance of the tea is endless, and my thoughts are ethereal. It's as if I've entered nature. As expected of the top spiritual tea in the world."

Chen Yiling expressed her feelings and revealed a look of enjoyment as she continued to savor the taste.

She was tasting tea, while Song Shi was admiring her. Only Song Hai was emitting light like a third wheel.

As she drank it in one gulp, Chen Yiling's muscles and bones shone with a flash of light. Her face was filled with spiritual light. When she was almost done drinking the cup of tea, she glanced at Song Shi. "Why are you staring at me?"

"Because you are more delicious."

Song Shi smiled and took a sip, looking exceptionally satisfied.

"Smooth-tongued."

Chen Yiling pouted coquettishly and drank the last mouthful of tea. Then, her long eyelashes trembled and she slowly closed her eyes. She also entered a state of enlightenment.

Song Shi raised his hand and released his Nomological power to form a barrier to isolate the two of them, preventing them from affecting each other.

As for him, he could gain enlightenment at any time even if he did not drink tea. Naturally, he continued to drink tea.

Soon, an obvious phenomenon erupted from Chen Yiling's body. The sword aura became gentle and quickly circulated around her delicate body, looking like threads.

"My sword intent has improved again. The sword qi is like silk. Other than being sharp, there are also flexibility and changes."

Song Shi observed seriously and chuckled, "I can learn from her secretly again."

Chen Yiling's Sword Dao realm was higher than his. Now that she had advanced further, it was equivalent to having a teacher to demonstrate to him. Coupled with his Comprehension, his improvement was twice as effective with half the effort.

Not long after, his sword Qi also changed. There was more flexibility in its sharpness.

Chen Yiling ended her epiphany and saw that Song Shi's Sword Dao had also improved significantly. She mumbled, "Learning secretly again."

Song Shi opened his eyes and did not feel embarrassed at all. He smiled and said, "As long as there are three people, there will definitely be a teacher amongst them. It's necessary for me to learn from you."

"There must be a teacher among the three of us. Indeed that makes sense."

Chen Yiling was touched. This fellow was quite talented and could speak eloquently.

"Old Seventh is a talent nurtured by our family. He's quite talented."

Song Hai also woke up. His eyes were bright. Clearly, he had also gained a lot.

"Aiya, the tea is getting cold."

He thought of his tea and carefully covered it, "You can't drink too much of this treasure at once. I will come back after a while."

Song Shi picked it up and took a sip of cold tea. He said indifferently, "I'll leave some for you. Drink it if you have to. It's more important to convert resources into strength."

"Thank you. With this, I feel that the path to the Extraordinary Foundation Establishment realm will be much smoother."

Song Hai thanked him from the bottom of his heart. He was only a member of an ordinary family. This family had suffered too much. It was already rare for them to reach this step. He had already resigned himself to his fate where he lacked resources. Now, his seventh brother had given him a chance.

"Chen Yiling, leave a letter for your masters."

Song Shi looked at Chen Yiling.

"Okay."

Chen Yiling knew that Song Shi was afraid that the Zenith Heaven Guards would attack Song Hai. The more this was the case, the safer she was because both sides had hostages.

She quickly wrote a letter. After Song Shi confirmed that it did not contain any information that should not be leaked, she handed the letter to Song Hai. At the same time, Song Shi drew a rune that protected the soul from afar and inserted it into Song Hai's glabella to prevent anyone from using a bewitching spell to make Song Hai reveal their secret.

"If the Zenith Heaven Guards look for you, give them the letter. Remember not to reveal my true identity. Just say that I'm your Second Uncle. If possible, I can even get them to help you with some trivial matters."

Song Hai accepted it in shock and looked at the two of them. Why did he feel that Chen Yiling was being held hostage by his brother?

"Don't think too much. Let's go. We'll come back next time we pass by."

With that, Song Shi grabbed Chen Yiling's hand and flew away, leaving behind the tea set and the tea leaves that he did not drink much of.

"Seventh Brother is too unassuming. He actually used such a method to pursue a heavenly beauty like Chen Yiling…"

Song Hai sighed.

In the air, Chen Yiling allowed Song Shi to grab her hand.

She had been hugged before, so she did not resist this behavior anymore. She asked calmly, "Where are you going now?"

"Langya Immortal Meeting."

Song Shi gave a location, took out the flying ship, and began their journey.

235 I Will Surrender If You Marry Me

In the ancient times, there was an ancient country called Langya. Its king's cultivation level was divine and he was invincible in the Boundless Realm. When he ascended to the Upper Realm, he created the Langya Mystic Realm, wanting the Langya Kingdom to last forever.

Unfortunately, after the ancient times, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth began to weaken. Langya Nation had no successor and there was internal strife. In the end, it was destroyed. The mystic realm entered the Void and would only appear once every hundred years.

As no one could occupy it alone and no one was qualified to control it, in the end, the various large factions compromised and shared the resources in it.

Now, the Boundless Continent was mainly divided into nine empires and a Great Demon Kingdom. The various empires hosted the Immortal Dao Conference every hundred years. Not only was this to show their strength to the other empires, but it was also a way to select various geniuses from the various factions.

Currently, Great Qian was suffering from internal strife. It was unknown if Langya wanted the demonic sects to display its strength in the conference or for some other reason, but it had offered generous rewards. It could be said to be the best in a thousand years.

The other empires had no choice but to follow. Even if there were fewer of them than the Great Qian Empire, they could still make the various large factions drool.

In terms of who had the most resources on this continent, it would definitely be the royal family that controlled the empire. Among them, Great Qian was the most abundant.

In a hilly area, thousands of flying Dharma treasures and even war Dharma treasures floated in the air or stopped on the ground, emitting colorful lights.

Song Shi and Chen Yiling sat in the flying ship and approached. They looked at the dense crowd in the distance in shock.

"So many people have come this time."

Chen Yiling took a deep breath.

These were not ordinary people. They were all cultivators. Even the handymen were at least at the Connate Qi Refinement realm.

"You make it sound like you were here last time."

Song Shi retorted.

"Why do you care what I say?"

Chen Yiling hugged her sealed spiritual sword and snorted. "Although the Demon Slayers and Fiend Eradicators are busy and haven't come, there are many people who can recognize me. You should consider how to let me continue to be your hostage."

Song Shi took out a mask and threw it to Chen Yiling. "Put it on yourself. Next, I'll unlock a portion of the seal for you and make you my maid."

He drew a line on Chen Yiling's body with his finger. Thirty percent of Chen Yiling's True Essence was loosened. Her cultivation became equivalent to an early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Chen Yiling was secretly delighted. With thirty percent of her True Essence, she might be able to break the seal and escape.

"You want to run? Give me your Spiritual Sword."

Song Shi could tell what Chen Yiling was thinking. He grabbed Chen Yiling's sword and kept it.

"You!"

Chen Yiling gritted her teeth. This guy had taken her sword. Even if she really escaped, she would have to come back and ask Song Shi for the sword.

Song Shi grinned. "If you dare to run, this sword will be mine."

He ignored Chen Yiling's angry gaze and stood up to observe the center of the crowd.

His pupils shrank. He realized that the various sects and factions were all on the second level. At the center were fully armed, uniform, and imposing armies.

Compared to the cultivation sects with their own unique characteristics, the aura of each person in these armies was condensed into one. Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator were to face them, the results would be minimal.

Song Shi was deep in thought.

Individuals are not as good as groups, especially large ones.

Nowadays, what faction could compare to an army that obeyed orders?

Not to mention that this was an army formed by cultivators, he estimated that such an army also knew battle formations. If they really attacked, they could even kill Soul Transformations cultivators.

This was another reason why the Great Qian Dynasty was able to suppress the various large factions. It was not only because of the existence of Numinous treasures but their large armies.

However, with the internal strife, he estimated that the combat strength of these cultivator armies should have decreased.

Remembering the dynasties in his previous life which had also fallen due to decay and corruption, Song Shi felt that Great Qian could not avoid it.

"What? Are you frightened by the cultivator armies of the various countries?"

Chen Yiling teased when she saw Song Shi in a daze.

"You're kidding. There aren't many things in the world that can scare me."

Song Shi retracted his gaze and made a hand seal to control his ship to fly towards Great Qian.

The cultivators of this world gathered together. In fact, there were ten regions in the center. Basically, the cultivation forces of different countries were in the same position.

As for the other region, it belonged to the Demonic Beasts and belonged to the Demonic Kingdom that was independent of the human countries. However, the Demonic Beasts were not united internally. They would only temporarily gather together when facing the human race.

This was the first time Song Shi had seen such a grand occasion. As he flew, he sighed repeatedly and felt that his trip was not in vain.

On the side of Great Qian, the different forces were divided into small groups.

Compared to the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range, the forces that came this time basically included the entire cultivation world of Great Qian. For example, the demonic sects, the three sects, the Yao Moon Palace, the righteous Qianzheng Academy, the Vajra Sect, the Frost Jade Cave, the various kings of the opposite sex, and the Ye Family. The forces that were neither righteous nor evil included the Heaven Secret Office, the Flower Room, and so on.

However, Song Shi's attention was still attracted by the army of cultivators from Great Qian.

There were more than ten thousand of them. They were all at the Foundation Establishment realm and above. They wore black dragon-patterned armor and held spears. Their blood qi was like a dragon and they looked fierce.

"This is the Qian Dragon Army of Great Qian!"

Chen Yiling was extremely proud.

Song Shi's interest was piqued as he thought to himself, "They should be able to kill me many times…"

"You're not afraid?"

Chen Yiling saw that Song Shi's expression was off and asked curiously.

"I'm not afraid. I'm looking forward to them ravaging me." Song Shi grinned, looking a little perverted.

"We will."

Chen Yiling hesitated for a moment before saying, "Didn't you ask who else we will take the opportunity to attack? Actually, it's not just our Demon Slayers. The Fiend Eradicators will also attack. There are other departments, such as the military."

Song Shi's pupils constricted. "In that case, is there still the Qian Dragon Army? You guys are really generous. You said that I would be trampled on by the Qian Dragon Army. Could it be…"

"That's right. The Ye Family has already used their Qian Dragon Token. They should be attacking the Heavenly Ghost Sect now. You're lucky and are safe for the time being. However, if you continue to work for the Heavenly Ghost Sect, you won't be able to escape."

Chen Yiling revealed a piece of earth-shattering news.

Song Shi took a deep breath. "You guys are ruthless. Aren't you afraid of provoking a fierce counterattack?"

"You're all rebelling. Why are you being polite?"

Chen Yiling's eyebrows became sharper.

"That's true. Stealing a house in secret is better than fighting it's owners head-on."

Song Shi nodded and sighed. "What a pity. I've only stayed in one place all this time and my house is about to be torn down."

When he thought of Bai Xiaoqin, his expression changed and he became fearful.

Fortunately, he had left behind the Battle Puppet and the Teleportation Talisman. If she could not win, she could still escape. Bai Xiaoqin was basically not in any danger.

"Actually, this matter has something to do with you. Originally, the Qian Dragon Army wouldn't be mobilized easily, but you killed the head of the Ye family and forced them to mobilize the army with the Qian Dragon Token. That's why you could be attributed as the root cause of this ambush."

Chen Yiling explained some of the reasons.

Song Shi was stunned. He silently flew towards the Heavenly Ghost Sect and suddenly looked at Chen Yiling. "Are you saying all this to recruit me or to show concern for me?"

Chen Yiling looked away uncomfortably and snorted, "I think you're a talent and you're not a bad person yourself. Naturally, I'm trying to recruit you."

"Oh."

Song Shi smiled meaningfully. "That's not impossible. However, I can surrender if you agree to marry me."

"You wish!"

Chen Yiling rolled her eyes.

Boohoo!

At this moment, a woman's cry sounded. Song Shi felt that the sound was a little familiar. He looked down and saw that Lu Youyou was crying so hard that her eyes were red.

236 Let the Enemy Pay More Attention to Me

The others around Lu Youyou had ugly expressions and a portion of the disciples were terrified.

"Don't tell me they've already succeeded!"

Song Shi frowned, "Qian Dragon Army's combat strength is so strong?"

"They probably used the power of the Numinous treasures as a warning to others."

Chen Yiling voiced her guess.

"Numinous treasures again…"

Song Shi muttered and raised his hand to form a seal. The flying ship began to lower its altitude. Other than the cries, he could also hear the discussions of others.

"The people of the Heavenly Ghost Sect have really become ghosts this time!"

"It's difficult to even become a ghost. I'm afraid most people will only end up with their souls dissipating."

Hearing these discussions, Lu Youyou jumped up and retorted, "Shut up. My father and the others will definitely be fine!"

A golden-robed man walked out with ill intentions. "Little beauty, your sect might be destroyed, yet you're still so fierce. Do you want me to help you understand the situation?"

"Youyou, forget it. Don't give them a chance now."

Grand Elder Jiang Sha shook his head at Lu Youyou and glared at the golden-robed man coldly. "Even if my Heavenly Ghost Sect is destroyed, we are still not something a puny Vajra Sect like you can bully. Scram!"

"Hehe, there's still a Nascent Soul cultivator here. I hope you can protect everyone."

The golden-robed man sneered, not hiding his hostility at all.

"Do it if you have the ability. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Lu Youyou wiped her tears and stood up slowly, her eyes turning cold.

"Little demoness, if there's a chance, we'll meet again in the mystic realm."

The golden-robed man laughed and turned to leave. Naturally, he would not attack at this time.

At the Immortal Dao Conference, one was not allowed to casually take action. Otherwise, with so many cultivators from various countries here, it would easily become a chaotic battle, and it might even trigger war between countries. The price to pay was extremely great.

Following his provocation, the factions that were at odds with the Heavenly Ghost Sect all revealed malicious intent.

Everyone kicks a man who is down. The Heavenly Ghost Sect was robbed and suffered heavy casualties. If they did not take the opportunity to destroy this part of the sect, they would be letting themselves down.

Just as many people cackled and secretly discussed how to deal with the people from the Heavenly Ghost Sect who were participating in the Immortal Dao Meet…

Amidst the air-piercing sound, a golden-flamed figure descended from the sky and smashed towards the golden-robed man who was walking back.

"You have a death wish!"

The golden-robed man's face flashed. A circle of golden light appeared on his hands and turned into spinning ripples. It was like a golden vortex as he attacked.

With a deafening bang, the ground shook.

Ads by Pubfuture

The golden-robed man's face contorted, and his sleeve shattered with a whoosh. At the same time, the golden vortex melted and shattered under the golden flames.

Crack!

His arm could not withstand such an attack and dislocated on the spot. His entire body was sent flying with a bang, causing a huge pit to appear on the hill behind him.

"Pfft!"

The domineering power made him vomit blood. At the same time, a terrifying wave of power swept through the grass, soil, and rocks, causing him to be covered in dust.

"Damn it, how dare you here and even launch a sneak attack!"

He was extremely angry and stared at the figure behind the dust with an unwilling expression.

"Who let you get in the way?"

There was a provocative smile on Song Shi's face, "If you're unhappy, why don't you hit me back?"

The people watching the show sized up Song Shi in surprise.

"Who is this person?"

"Isn't he too bold? Doesn't he know that he can't fight here?"

"He seems to be from the Heavenly Ghost Sect."

"Blood-Robed old ghost! This is the Blood-Robed old ghost. He was famous in the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range and returned with a vengeance!"

"I heard that this old man killed the head of the Ye family. He actually dared to show himself. Isn't he afraid of retaliation?"

Many people recognized Song Shi, who had deliberately transformed into the Blood-Robed old ghost.

While they were discussing, Lu Youyou and the others naturally saw Song Shi. They were surprised for a moment before speaking

"Old ghost, why are you only here now!"

Lu Youyou snorted, "Who asked you to attack?"

"What does my intervention have to do with you?"

Song Shi pursed his lips. He had provoked this fellow because the other party was from the Vajra Sect and had deliberately run over to give him a chance to attack him.

As an enemy of the Blood-Robed old ghost, he had to make them pay attention to him and provoke them more so they had the motivation to kill him.

"You!"

Lu Youyou couldn't win against Song Shi and could only snort. "Don't you know the rules of the Immortal Association? You're harming yourself!"

"Blood-Robed old ghost!"

The golden-robed man's originally furious eyes were now filled with resentment. He suddenly jumped up and pointed at Song Shi with his other intact finger. "Alright, old ghost, let's settle the new and old grudges between you and my Vajra Sect!"

Buzz!

Suddenly, there was a dragon's roar.

Swish swish swish!

Ads by Pubfuture

Black Spears flew over with dragon-shaped air currents and stabbed heavily between the two of them. Then, a few figures appeared in the sky.

Qian Dragon Army!

The golden-robed man revealed a look of fear and tactfully retracted his aura.

"Fighting is prohibited in the Immortal Dao Assembly. If you dare take action again, you will be killed without mercy!"

A fierce and domineering shout sounded like rolling thunder. The pressure in the sky suddenly appeared, and the wind and clouds changed. The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth turned into a black dragon.

This dragon circled the clouds in the nine heavens. It was ten thousand feet long and looked down at all living beings with emotionless eyes.

"I didn't attack. It's him. Please kill him!"

The golden-robed man cupped his fists, wanting to take advantage of the Qian Dragon Army to kill the Blood-Robed old ghost.

Song Shi was not in a hurry to speak. He was secretly looking forward to it. It was obvious that the Qian Dragon Army was very powerful. They should be able to kill him easily.

"Qian Dragon Army, this is the first time an elder of my sect is participating in the conference. He doesn't know the situation. I hope you can give him a chance."

Jiang Sha stood up for Song Shi. He did not want this living force to die because of this. That would make things worse for them. The already bad situation would become even worse.

"Since it's your first offense, I'll let it go this time!"

The black dragon spoke in human language and glanced coldly at Song Shi. Halfway through, it paused on Chen Yiling and said, "Sect Master He, Blood-Robed old ghost, your grudges can be resolved in the mystic realm!"

With that, the black dragon's body turned into clouds again and quickly dissipated.

The Spear stabbed into the ground flew up and returned to their hands. Then, it returned to the army.

"Sect Leader, are you alright?"

The rest of the Vajra Sect rushed over. Most of them were burly and were body refiners.

"It's fine. If it wasn't a sneak attack, how could he have hurt me?"

He stared at Song Shi with a disdainful expression.

"Today's your lucky day!"

The golden-robed man said coldly. He was the current sect master of Vajra Sect, He Yuanlu. His cultivation was at the late-stage Golden Core realm.

He mainly cultivated body refinement, but he had suffered a loss at the hands of the Blood-Robed old ghost. Now, he was rather aggrieved and wanted to make the Blood-Robed old ghost pay the price in the mystic realm.

"You are the lucky one."

Song Shi retorted sarcastically. He felt that it was a pity. It seemed that he would only have a chance in the future.

He did not provoke him anymore. After all, Jiang Sha had spoken to him. He could not waste Jiang Sha's good intentions.

"Alright, Blood-Robed old ghost, don't cause us trouble. Now that the sect has been destroyed and we've suffered heavy losses, we don't have much support for the time being. It's difficult for us to hold on alone now. It's better to keep a low profile."

Jiang Sha shook his head.

Luo Chi walked over and snorted coldly. "If he hadn't taken the initiative to find trouble with the Ye Family back then, he wouldn't have killed their master and caused the Ye Family to use the Qian Dragon Token to deal with my sect."

"Heh, you think whatever happened was due to the Qian Dragon Token? Is that inanimate object really worth them mobilizing all their strength to deal with the Heavenly Ghost Sect?"

Song Shi scoffed. "They're just taking advantage of the situation. Don't just blame me. I think you guys were quite happy to kill Ye Wenzhong as well back then."

237 Spirit Beast Meat Should Be Very Delicious

Luo Chi wanted to retort, but Jiang Sha glanced at him. "It's useless to say this now. If we don't unite, we probably won't be able to leave this place alive."

Including Lu Youyou, everyone's expressions changed. They understood that they were all in the same boat now. They only had each other to rely on.

If there was an internal conflict, it would indeed be beneficial to no one.

"Elder Jiang has a plan. I will try my best to bear the responsibility for this matter."

Song Shi nodded. He was a person who was amenable to coaxing but not coercion. Naturally, nothing would happen if Luo Chi had spoken to him properly. He was not a timid person and would not shirk his responsibility.

However, Lu Youyou said in a rare manner, "You also did that to stand up for me just now, right? Thank you."

"No, I just don't like him."

Song Shi put his hands behind his back, unwilling to let Lu Youyou think too much.

Lu Youyou rolled her eyes and looked at the woman behind Song Shi who was wearing a pig's head mask. "Who is she?"

"My new maid, Ling'er."

"Are you ugly? Why are you wearing a mask?"

As Lu Youyou spoke, her body swayed and she was about to remove Chen Yiling's mask.

The latter sensed it and did not dodge. Her appearance would help her escape.

Swoosh! A hand grabbed Lu Youyou's arm first. It was Song Shi, "She's indeed ugly. Don't scare everyone."

Chen Yiling gritted her teeth. Who was ugly? This guy was really annoying.

Lu Youyou became even more excited and sized up Chen Yiling with interest, "Oh, I'm not afraid of her being ugly, and her figure is quite good. Tsk tsk."

Chen Yiling said coldly, "Please have some self-respect!"

"Yo, you still have a little temper. Blood-Robed old ghost, your maid is a little spicy."

Lu Youyou teased.

"Don't touch my person!"

Song Shi was displeased. This witch was really troublesome. It seemed that he had not taught her enough lessons.

"I'm just joking. Otherwise, I'll think of sad things again."

Lu Youyou was on the verge of tears.

For a moment, Song Shi could not understand why this woman, who had been crying just now, was still in the mood to tease Chen Yiling. It was really strange.

Just as Song Shi frowned, a commotion suddenly appeared at the gathering place of the various countries, attracting everyone present.

Ads by Pubfuture

"The Immortal Dao Conference is about to begin!"

Someone shouted. Then, powerful fluctuations appeared, and the color of the world instantly changed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lights of various colors soared into the sky. Suddenly, dragons and tigers roared, phoenixes and cows mooed. Song Shi looked sideways and saw a spectacular scene.

On the Qian Nation's side, a five-clawed golden dragon soared into the sky with auspicious clouds and auspicious qi pervading the air. At the head of the dragon, a middle-aged man wearing a crown and a golden robe stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an aura of supremacy in the world.

"This is Emperor Qian?"

Song Shi sensed the other party's majestic aura and was shocked.

This person stood there like a supreme being of heaven and earth, as if he was the heavens, domineering and high and mighty.

"Soul Transformation realm, he is definitely in the Soul Transformation realm!"

Sensing that the other party had integrated into the world and had an extraordinary Aura, Song Shi took a deep breath.

This should be the second Soul Transformation cultivator he had seen, and he had seen it with his own eyes. It was much stronger than the White Snake Demon Venerable's second soul he had encountered.

"Oh no, Emperor Qian has actually broken through to the Soul Transformation realm. No wonder he dares to attack us!"

When Jiang Sha saw this, his expression changed drastically. The emperors of the various countries were usually at the Nascent Soul realm. If they reached the Soul Transformation realm, they would retreat and focus on preparing to ascend.

However, after breaking through, they would definitely reveal their strength for a period of time. They were really unlucky to have bumped into each other.

"That's good."

Song Shi was not shocked. Instead, he was overjoyed. Since he was following the Heavenly Ghost Sect, he now had another powerful enemy.

"Are you crazy? The more powerful the royal family of Great Qian is, the more unlucky we are."

Lu Youyou glared at Song Shi angrily, "If you hadn't killed the head of the Ye family, I would have thought that you were a spy."

Chen Yiling's heart skipped a beat, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

"Think what you want."

Song Shi could not be bothered to talk to Lu Youyou. He shifted his gaze. Opposite the golden dragon, a scarlet divine bird with a wingspan of a hundred meters was letting out a phoenix cry.

This divine bird was not as tall as the golden dragon, but its aura was not weak. The scarlet flames all over its body distorted the Void non-stop. The power contained in it far exceeded his Pure Yang True Fire. It was a spirit flame that could only be cultivated at the Soul Transformation realm.

"Why is it another Soul Transformation cultivator?"

Song Shi was puzzled, "The Li Nation has the Vermillion Bird Divine Art. Could this be formed from the Vermillion Bird Spirit Flame? The one above is the ruler of Li Nation."

Song Shi recalled some information in his mind.

"This is the spirit flame of the country's guardian spirit beast, the Vermillion Bird. It's not cultivated from a cultivation technique. How ignorant."

Lu Youyou seized the opportunity to argue with Song Shi.

Ads by Pubfuture

Chen Yiling glanced at Lu Youyou and then at Song Shi. She felt strange. Could it be that this demoness liked Song Shi?

"In that case, the Qian Emperor's golden dragon is also a spirit beast?"

Song Shi was a little confused. Previously, he had thought that the vivid Vermillion Bird was formed from Nomological power.

"Hehe, you guessed wrongly. The golden dragon is formed from Numinous treasures. The dragon race is one of the three great demon emperors of the demon kingdom. Why would these spirit beasts be willing to be the guardian spirit beasts of Great Qian?"

Lu Youyou said proudly. If one did not specially seek out such information, they would really not know.

"Other than Great Qian and the Sword Nation, which do not have any Protector Spirit Beasts, the other seven nations do."

Chen Yiling said.

When Lu Youyou heard this, she knew that this woman was definitely not as simple as a maid. This was because ordinary people could not come into contact with a spirit beast at the level of the country's guardian.

"The spirit beast is a good animal. The taste of the spirit beast meat should taste very good."

Song Shi licked his lips and looked at the Vermillion Bird's body. He considered taking a bite if he had the chance in the future. Then it would not be in vain that he had died so many times in this world.

"Are you crazy? He would turn you into ashes with a spit of fire, you still want to eat him?"

Lu Youyou scoffed.

"Then I'm even more interested."

Song Shi's gaze was inexplicable.

"Dammit, this old bastard is really sick."

Luo Chi couldn't stand it anymore and scolded, "You'd better not provoke them. It's fine if you have a death wish, but don't harm us."

At this moment, through the flames, Song Shi could vaguely see a graceful figure standing on the back of the Vermillion Bird. He was slightly stunned, "It's actually a woman."

The various kings were all top existences among the Nascent Soul realm. They were elusive and rarely had the chance to see them. The relevant information was definitely top secret and would not be easily leaked. He really did not know the situation of the other kings.

"She's the new empress of Li country. Don't even think about seducing her."

As soon as Lu Youyou finished speaking, her mouth was forcefully sealed by Song Shi's finger.

"Are you a fly? You're so noisy."

Song Shi stared at Lu Youyou coldly. The latter could only respond with an angry gaze, but she could not say a word.

"What are you doing?"

Luo Chi berated.

Jiang Sha pressed down on his shoulder and shook his head, "Watch carefully. The people who have appeared now are all the kings. The true geniuses have grown up. There's still a huge gap between you and them."

The surroundings finally quieted down. Song Shi shifted his gaze and looked at the sky a hundred miles to the left of where Great Qian was standing.

A huge black eagle was flying high in the sky. Its wings were filled with dense lightning power as it streaked across the Void, emitting rumbling thunder.

"The ruler of the Thunder Kingdom."

Song Shi muttered. Many of the nine countries in this world were related to the five elements of the Eight Trigrams. They were the Qian, Li, Thunder, Wind, and Water countries.

238 Immortal Opportunity Platform

The remaining four countries more or less had some kind of specialization. For example, the Sword Nation, which was prosperous in the forging industry, roughly corresponded to the metal attribute. The Medicine Nation, which was prosperous in the alchemy path, corresponded to the wood attribute.

Only the remaining Sand Country and Li Country had little to do with their attributes.

The non-human Demon Nation would not pay attention to anything. The Demon Nation was divided into races, which was why they called themselves the Demon Nation to outsiders.

"In the mystic realm, we must not be targeted by the cultivators of the Thunder Kingdom. They are very effective against us."

Jiang Sha reminded them that the lightning element was their nemesis. Even if their cultivation levels were the same, they would still suffer greatly.

"Moo!"

A low moo attracted Song Shi's attention. On the ground on the left, a rhinoceros that was like a mountain stood up, causing the ground to shake.

"That was the Black-feathered Thunderhawk of the Lei Kingdom. This is the Spiritual Rhinoceros of the Water Kingdom."

Chen Yiling continued his introduction. "That's Wind Nation's Qing Luan."

Song Shi also observed a green spirit bird. The latter's posture was elegant, agile, and elegant. Its temperament was completely different from other spirit beasts.

He clucked his tongue in wonder, "It's beautiful. I can hardly bear to eat it."

Lu Youyou, who was sealed, rolled her eyes when she heard that. She complained in her heart, but unfortunately, she could not say it.

"That should be the Sword Nation. Such a huge sword."

Song Shi was quickly attracted by a thousand-foot-long sword. Just by looking at it from afar, the sword was about to split the world apart.

There were seven stars on the Sword that attracted the light in the sky and were bedazzling.

"This is the Seven Stars Spirit Sword, the Numinous treasure with the strongest offensive power on the continent."

Chen Yiling revealed a look of yearning, "The Sword Nation is a holy land for sword cultivators, and this Seven Star Sword is a treasure that all sword cultivators dream of."

Next, Song Shi got to know the Heavenly Wood of the Alchemy Kingdom. This spiritual wood grew from the mountains. It was a thousand meters tall and the largest.

Meanwhile, the Sand Country's national guardian spirit beast was a silver pangolin. It was curled up into a ball, and its silver light was brilliant. It looked like it was sleeping.

On the Demon Nation's side, no one deliberately revealed anything. They did not need to attract human geniuses, nor would they purposely attract humans.

"The king of Great Qian has broken through to the Soul Transformation realm!"

"Impressive. Initially, I thought that Great Qian would fall apart due to internal strife. Now that Emperor Qian has broken through, he should be able to turn the tide."

"Those who rebel are unlucky. Now that Emperor Qian has revealed his strength in a high-profile manner, it means that he won't be polite to them anymore."

…

The kings of the nine countries revealed their strength, and Emperor Qian used his stronger strength to snatch the limelight.

Experts from various countries looked over with different expressions.

"Lord of the Qian Nation, I didn't expect you to go first."

The King of Sword Nation said, "Unfortunately, your Great Qian no longer has any true Numinous treasures. It's as difficult as ascending to the heavens to go to the Upper Realm."

"A true expert doesn't need to rely on external objects to go to the Upper Realm himself."

Emperor Qian had a confident expression.

"Hehe, Emperor Qian is so confident. I hope he can still say this when he tries to ascend."

The Lord of the Thunder Kingdom sneered.

"Everyone, take out the Langya Token and summon the Immortal opportunity platform!"

The Lord of the Water Nation sat lazily on the Spirit Rhinoceros's head, preventing the two from bickering.

"I agree."

The Wind Nation's ruler spoke, not wanting the Qian Empire's ruler to continue stealing the limelight.

"Then let's begin."

The nine kings each took out a pure white jade token. There were mysterious runes engraved on it, and they were connected to each other.

After they injected their power, the token emitted a dazzling light and shot out a thick pillar of light. After gathering, they all landed in the same spot in the Void.

RUMBLE!

Space fluctuated violently, forming circles of ripples. Pure white light spread out, and it was as if a huge creature had appeared from the water.

"After a hundred years, I finally can see the Immortal opportunity platform again."

Jiang Sha sighed as he looked at Luo Chi and Lu Youyou: "Seize this opportunity, if you can obtain the true Immortal opportunity, there will be many chances to make up for what we are facing now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge white jade stone platform appeared. It was a thousand meters tall. Around the stone platform were stone steps that extended down from midair and connected to the ground.

The stone platform on the steps was engraved with mysterious runes that contained a special aura. Suddenly, the space on the stone platform squirmed, forming a huge vortex. On the vortex, four silver ancient words condensed.

Langya Mystic Realm.

Light pulsed in the vortex, as if another space was slowly appearing on the surface of the water.

There were pavilions, pavilions, immortal palaces and spirit halls inside the Langya Mystic Realm.

Only Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators were allowed to enter this mystic realm. Furthermore, they had to pass through the stairs.

However, not everyone could go to the Immortal opportunity platform. They had to be one in a thousand geniuses.

This restriction was set up by Langya Mystic Realm mainly to choose a successor. Unfortunately, no one had obtained the core inheritance since ancient times.

"The Immortal opportunity platform has been opened. Anyone who feels that they are qualified can try climbing it. Remember, you have to climb up step by step."

Emperor Qian turned around and spoke to the forces in his country.

The other kings also said to the people behind them. Then, young people flew out one after another.

Song Shi realized that demons had also flown out from the Demon Nation's side. However, they had all transformed into human forms and did not maintain their demon bodies.

Seeing his confusion, Chen Yiling explained patiently, "The Langya Mystic Realm was created by a mighty figure of the human race. It only recognizes human forms. If the demons want to obtain opportunities, they have to follow the rules."

When Song Shi heard this, he asked curiously, "Do you think a demon who turns into a human is considered a human or a demon?"

"Demons, right? They're just changing their forms. They have form but no soul."

Chen Yiling shook her head.

"Fair enough."

Song Shi acknowledged it, just like his Thousand Transformations Technique. Although he could become someone else, it was impossible for him to really become someone else. His soul would still be his own.

"Most importantly, the Demon Kingdom doesn't have the Lang Ya Token. If they didn't join forces, they wouldn't be qualified to participate. Therefore, you don't have to worry too much about them snatching the Immortal opportunity."

"Stop muttering. Prepare yourself to ascend the Immortal opportunity platform. As long as you can climb above three thousand steps, you are qualified to enter the mystic realm. If you can climb a little more, you will obtain another reward for every three thousand steps. These rewards are all treasures contributed by the various countries."

Jiang Sha interrupted Song Shi and Chen Yiling.

"Why aren't you removing Junior Sister Youyou's seal?"

Luo Chi harrumphed.

Song Shi flicked out a flame. Lu Youyou's body relaxed and she regained her freedom. Just as she was about to bare her fangs and brandish her claws, Song Shi said, "If you want to be sealed again, you can say whatever you want."

Lu Youyou held back the words of scolding that she had been preparing for a long time. Her face turned red. "You're bullying me. Boohoo!"

Song Shi could not be bothered and said to Chen Yiling, "Let's go over."

Since this step allowed Foundation Establishment cultivators to climb, he would naturally give Chen Yiling a chance.

The latter was surprised. "I thought you wouldn't let me go."

"You don't want to go?"

"I don't care, because this Immortal opportunity platform can only be ascended once in my life. If I don't ascend this time, I can try again a hundred years later. At that time, when I reach the Golden Core realm, my foundation can be deeper and I might have a better chance at succeeding."

Chen Yiling was noncommittal, "After all, this step tests one's foundation, including talent, perseverance, and foundation."

Song Shi was enlightened. "How many levels are you confident in reaching?"

"More than six thousand steps, but it's a little difficult to advance further and reach the top nine thousand steps."

Chen Yiling looked at Song Shi, "Unless you return the spiritual sword to me."

239 Unseen Talent

Song Shi thought for a moment and pursed his lips, "You want to trick me into returning the spiritual sword to you? Dream on. Since you said that it's a test of foundation, such an external object will definitely not be recognized."

Chen Yiling felt a little regretful. She had wanted to use Song Shi's ignorance of the Immortal opportunity platform to get the spiritual sword back, but she had failed.

He patted Chen Yiling's shoulder and a ray of light secretly entered his body. The seal between Chen Yiling's meridians dissipated.

Sensing the Dharmic powers flowing rapidly in her body, Chen Yiling was surprised. "Aren't you afraid that I'll take the opportunity to escape?"

"So what if I undo all your seals? How can a Tiny Foundation Establishment Cultivator can't escape from me?"

Song Shi pursed his lips, "Work hard and help me earn rewards."

"Shameless."

Chen Yiling, who originally had a good impression of him, could not help but look angry when she heard this.

At this moment, young people from the various large factions walked out. There were not many of them, but they were all suitable people to climb the Immortal opportunity platform. They were energetic and full of confidence.

There were three to five factions with more than ten people, and each country had the most officials. Each department had hundreds of people, and each country had hundreds of factions. In the blink of an eye, there were thousands of people.

Fortunately, the Immortal opportunity platform was large enough, it was like a mountain that could be climbed from all sides.

There were many young geniuses in the Ten Nations. There were more than one hundred thousand of them, but it did not seem crowded after they were scattered.

The people of the demonic sects had a tacit understanding between each other to stay in one's own lane and mine their own business. Meanwhile, the geniuses from the Great Qian government stood in the middle.

The geniuses of the large factions were relatively calm. They all raised their heads and sized up the Immortal opportunity platform. Most of them were geniuses of the new generation who were not even one hundred years old and had more or less never seen the Immortal opportunity platform.

The geniuses of the small forces were far inferior. Many of them were over a hundred years old and had seen it with their elders. Now, they rubbed their palms together, wanting to climb to the peak.

"I've been preparing for a hundred years. I'll definitely be able to enter the mystic realm this time."

"After a hundred years of bitter cultivation, my foundation is not inferior to the geniuses of those large factions. I want both the rewards and the inheritance in the mystic realm!"

"I want to impress everyone!"

Many people cheered themselves on.

Song Shi swept his gaze and was stunned to see many white-haired elders.

"You call yourself a genius?"

He was a little speechless. Not only did he see a white-haired fellow, but he also saw a loose cultivator like Daoist Dou.

A circle of pure white light streaked past.

"Shua, shua, shua, shua."

Light balls appeared on the steps one after another. They were all distributed behind the three thousand steps.

There were spirit stones, Dharma treasures, pills, talismans, puppet secret techniques… A portion of the treasures taken out by the various countries were inside.

The way to obtain the treasure was very simple. It was to climb the corresponding steps.

When Song Shi saw this, he fell into deep thought, "This mystic realm should also be managed by artifact spirits, right?"

"Yes, but now it seems we have no right to see them."

Chen Yiling looked at the ball of light above the stairs. "In fact, this mystic realm has long formed a tacit understanding with the various countries. Every hundred years, it will absorb a portion of treasures to choose geniuses. The mystic realm will search for the successor it wants. The various countries can see geniuses emerge and compete in secret. That way, everyone is happy."

"Then let's go. There are so many treasures. Why don't we take a few more?"

Song Shi took a step forward. When his right foot landed on the steps, a wave swept past him. Then, the Dharma treasures on his body were sealed by a force and could not be used.

If he used it forcefully, he would most likely be suppressed by the power of the mystic realm.

"As expected, I can't use any external objects. I can only rely on my own ability to climb."

Song Shi thought to himself. Then, his body sank and an all-round pressure landed on his body.

The circulation of Nomological power in his body immediately slowed down. Song Shi stabilized his body and pondered, "This pressure is determined by strength?"

"That's right. Whatever realm you're in, you'll feel pressured. The higher you go, the greater the pressure."

Chen Yiling nodded.

When Song Shi heard this, he felt that he had hit the jackpot.

His realm was still at the mid-stage Golden Core realm, but he had six Golden Cores. His body tempering strength was higher and his Spiritual strength was stronger. There was no reason for him to not be able to climb more steps.

The current pressure was about the level that an ordinary mid-stage Golden Core cultivator could withstand. It was nothing to him. He walked up with a normal expression.

Chen Yiling was also a top-notch genius. Her foundation was far above her peers and she advanced easily.

Not to be outdone, Lu Youyou followed him with her hands behind her back. "Hmph, Blood-Robed old ghost, I didn't expect you to be qualified to ascend the Immortal opportunity platform. You can't ascend here if you're over two hundred years old. Looks like you possessed someone else and deceived the spirits of the mystic realm."

"You can do that…"

Luo Chi rolled his eyes. Seeing that Song Shi was not kicked out, he thought that if he became like this in the future, he could give it a try.

Chen Yiling, who was beside Song Shi, thought to herself, "He didn't trick the spirits of the Mystic realm. He's really very young."

Song Shi indeed discovered that a few white-haired cultivators were forced back by the white light. They were probably the so-called people above their age.

He still automatically ignored Lu Youyou's words and seriously observed the various balls of light above his head. The things inside were very precious.

As they advanced, someone beside them turned around and looked at each other, inadvertently leaning towards them.

As the pressure on everyone was at the same level, the pressure increased with every step they took. No one walked fast. Instead, they tried their best to maintain the balance between consumption and restoration.

Even so, some people were soon panting. After one hundred steps, some people squatted down to rest.

"Tsk tsk, isn't this person known as the most outstanding genius of the Psychic Sword Sect in the past hundred years? He can't even take a hundred steps?"

"Haha, you have to empathize with him. How powerful can a genius from a third-grade sect be?"

Those who were watching the show gossiped loudly When they saw that someone could not do it in such a short period of time, they immediately mocked and ridiculed.

Song Shi took another look. The middle-aged man in the Spiritual Sword Sect uniform's face turned red. It was unknown if it was because of the pressure or because he was being mocked.

"This Psychic Sword Sect was the sect that Song Jia joined. Looks like it's only so-so."

As he muttered to himself, Song Shi shook his head. In the past, it was already quite rare for an ordinary secular family like the Song family to come into contact with such a sect.

"This time, the potential of the Palm Gang looks pretty good. They're still not red in the face or out of breath."

"The little monk from the Tianhe Temple is not bad either. His entire body is shining with golden light, just like an Arhat."

Some people were despised, while others were praised.

The pressure of this step was the same for everyone. Everyone's foundation could be seen through at a glance.

The sects with outstanding performances were naturally proud. Most of the sects where geniuses who did not live up to their reputations had ugly expressions.

Young people were the hope of every faction. With a strong foundation, they would be powerful enough in the future.

If they could obtain treasures or even inheritances on this Immortal opportunity platform, many small sects would have a chance to soar into the sky while the large sects would be even stronger.

A single Immortal opportunity platform could determine the appearance of most of the geniuses in the entire continent. The nine kings could see everything clearly. They already knew who they wanted to suppress and recruit in the future.

240 Everyone Has Their Own Schemes

"I can't take it anymore!"

Someone beside Song Shi was panting and stopped to rest. However, in the next moment, they pounced fiercely at Song Shi and the others.

"Get out of here!"

Lu Youyou and the others' expressions changed, and they hurriedly put up their Defense.

"What the hell?"

Song Shi subconsciously raised his hand to counterattack. With a bang, the fellow who approached him was sent flying like a rag. He was beaten into a pulp on the spot and cried out in pain.

"Uh, I hit him a little too hard."

He smiled awkwardly. Now that there was pressure on his body, the Nomological power in his body was in a state of mobilization. Every move he made was at the Golden Core level.

How could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator withstand a blow from a Golden Core?

"Hmph!"

Luo Chi's attack was even more ruthless. With a flash of sharpness on his finger, he cut the fellow who was dealing with him in half at the waist. He did not die, but he became exceptionally bloody.

Lu Youyou and Chen Yiling hurriedly blocked the attack, while a few disciples were pushed down many steps. Some even rolled down half of the stairs.

It would take a lot of effort and cultivation to come back.

It was obvious that these guys were here to harm others without benefiting themselves. They were here to slow them down and consume their Nomological powers.

"You have a death wish!"

Luo Chi's eyes were filled with killing intent. He walked over, wanting to kill him.

"Stop. Don't waste your energy on them."

Jiang Sha shouted, "Hurry up, whoever arrives first will receive a better reward."

Luo Chi took a deep breath, "Killing this trash is dirtying my hands."

"Hehe, come and kill us if you have the ability."

The guy who had been beaten by Song Shi laughed sinisterly and deliberately provoked them. He did not think that Song Shi and the others would continue to waste their Nomological powers. Even if they attacked, they would not be able to kill them easily.

As soon as he finished speaking, flames lit up in front of his eyes. Song Shi slapped him.

He wanted to dodge, but his spine was broken and he could not move. He only had time to release his Spiritual Essence to form a barrier.

The barrier was like paper in front of Song Shi. It was instantly shattered by Song Shi before the Pure Yang True Fire landed.

"Ah!"

Ads by Pubfuture

His entire body burned. Before he died, his eyes were still filled with fear and disbelief. Then, he turned into ashes.

Screams echoed, causing the faces of the others who wanted to provoke him to turn pale. They got up and ran down, but their speed was especially slow under the pressure.

Song Shi flicked his fingers, and beams of fire shot out. All the people who had all ambushed them burned to death.

This ruthless scene made the people who wanted to trick the Heavenly Ghost Sect reveal looks of fear. They did not dare to attack rashly.

"What ruthless methods. My disciple only stopped you for a moment. Why did you kill him?!"

Below the Immortal opportunity platform, someone was furious.

"If you're unhappy, you're welcome to kill me when I get off the stage later. Otherwise, I'll kill you!"

Song Shi turned his head and revealed a sinister smile.

The latter was immediately speechless. He was only the sect master of a small sect and was in the same realm as this Blood-Robed old ghost. If he had not been bribed, he would not have dared to provoke this demon.

"Blood-Robed old ghost, don't be too arrogant. My Vajra Sect is waiting for you."

Some people were afraid, while others were not. He Yuanlu helped to back them up.

"Alright, if you can't kill me, I'll destroy your Vajra Sect."

Song Shi was extremely fierce.

"Why is this guy wasting his energy on these people?"

Jiang Sha was helpless. "Forget it. It's good to intimidate some people. Otherwise, there will always be people who think that our Heavenly Ghost Sect's lair has been destroyed and can be controlled at will."

"A mad dog."

Someone in front of the stairs sneered with a disdainful expression.

He wore a python robe and was clearly a member of the royal family.

"Third Brother, don't worry about this kind of cheater. Our goal is the last step."

The burly man beside him did not even look at Song Shi and did not care at all.

He had a head of golden hair and a dragon pattern appeared on his forehead. He looked mighty and had the domineering aura of a superior. He was the Crown Prince of Great Qian, Qian Wuji.

"Brother, you're right. This time, we have to obtain the Dragon Pearl and completely upgrade our race's Numinous treasure replicas before we can kill the rebels."

The Third Prince, who was reminded of their goal, nodded and stopped caring about the dogfights.

On the Water Nation's side, the geniuses of the royal family wore long robes embroidered with an eight trigram diagram. This eight trigram diagram was like a tortoise shell with an ancient aura.

The young man in the lead had messy hair, a wide forehead, a short and muscular figure and small but energetic eyes.

He was the Crown Prince of the Water Nation, Xuan Buzheng. He was famous in the Northern Continent and his cultivation was already at the perfected Golden Core realm.

Suddenly, the tortoise shell in his hand lit up and a phantom image appeared. It had a dragon head, snake body, and turtle back. It was the legendary Black Tortoise.

The Black Tortoise phantom growled at a certain spot, as if it was pointing at something.

"I found the Black Tortoise Blood Essence. It's at the nine thousandth step."

Xuan Buzheng was pleasantly surprised. "I didn't expect it to be below the ten thousandth step this time. It's basically guaranteed that I can get more than one treasure this time. There's still a chance to obtain another supreme treasure."

"Congratulations, Crown Prince. With the help of the Black Tortoise blood essence, Big Brother's Black Tortoise Divine Body will definitely reach Great Mastery."

The other geniuses on the side praised.

On the side of the Li country.

A peerless beauty in a red dress was wearing a veil and staring at the top.

There were only nine balls of light there, and they were also the most dazzling among all the balls of light. Because the light was too dazzling, it was difficult for the naked eye to see what was inside.

However, she could sense that her target was among them.

On the Sword Nation's side, a young man in a green robe with an ordinary appearance and a sword case on his back stood straight and calmly looked at the nine balls of light distributed in front of the vortex.

"The sword technique left behind by the ancient Sword Sage is mine. No one can snatch it away."

In the Thunder Kingdom's team, the skinny young man with the thunder mark between his eyebrows sighed in his heart, "This is the only place in the Boundless Continent that has the Nine Heavens Thunder Spiritual Liquid. I wonder if it can help the old man extend his life after getting it."

In the Wind Nation's royal family, the tall and slender Crown Princess stared at the ball of light that emitted Wind Stats power without saying anything.

In the area of the Demon Nation, a few demonic-looking youths looked at each other and mocked, "Humans like to mock the internal strife of our Demon Nation, but I think their internal strife is even more intense than ours."

"Humans like to talk nonsense. Don't listen to what they say. Let's see what they do."

"Hehe, let them fight among themselves. It's good for us."

Most of the top geniuses did not watch the battle between Song Shi and the others. They focused on the path under their feet and advanced at the best speed.

They had all come here with various goals. They didn't care about anything else and focused on adjusting their states.

Under the pressure, there were so many steps. Being fast was not ideal, instead, reserving Nomological power was more important.

Therefore, smart people were not in a hurry to rush forward, even if there were all kinds of precious treasures at the three thousandth steps.

Their goal was treasures of the six thousandth, nine thousandth, and even ten thousandth steps. These were the treasures that they were interested in. Especially towards the end, because the number of people who had reached the six thousandth, nine thousandth, or even ten thousandth steps, the treasures that had accumulated over the past ten thousand years were especially tempting.

Just as everyone was calculating how to reach the top at the lowest price, Song Shi, who had just taken action to resolve the problem, sped up.

"How foolish!"

The descendant of the Ye Family who had a grudge against the Heavenly Ghost sect deliberately sneered loudly.

When Song Shi heard this, he walked over and attacked.

Boom boom boom!

After a round of fighting, although he did not kill anyone, he still kicked most of the Ye Family members down the stairs. All of them became bruised and swollen.

If they wanted to climb up again, they would have to expend a lot of Nomological power.

Song Shi clapped his hands, "I don't mind wasting some energy cleaning up 'trash' if anyone tries to be sarcastic again."
