Goatee's nickname was similar to Song Hai's. His name was Iron Leg Li. His leg technique was like a knife, and his destructive power was astonishing.
Now that he was wearing iron shoes, there was wind under his feet. His entire body was like an arrow that shot out. The instantaneous explosive force raised a wave of air-piercing sounds that were extremely shocking.
With a muffled sound, Song Hai's clothes were kicked apart and he staggered back.
Crack, crack, crack.
The floor was crushed by the retreating foot. Song Hai looked at his bare arm and his face turned red. He looked indignant.
His clothes were shattered, which meant that his protective Connate Genuine Qi had been broken by the other party's kick. His hands were originally his strongest point.
His most powerful palm technique had been broken, the results of the fight was fixed. He was inferior to the other party.
"Give me another year and I'll definitely surpass this old man."
He shouted in his heart.
The goateed man exhaled a white breath and stared coldly at Song Shi, "Little Song, do you still want to fight?"
"I'm no match for you, but in another year, that might not be the case."
Song Hai coldly glanced at the middle-aged man in the embroidered robe at the door.
The latter had a square face and big ears. His cheekbones were obvious. He immediately replied mockingly, "The world is very chaotic now. Whether you can live to a year is a problem. I think you should scram back to your Iron Palm Gang. Don't have keep seeking death here."
A threat!
This was a blatant threat. The meaning behind his words was obvious. If Song Hai continued to pester him, his life would be in danger.
"Song Hai, the family head is right. You're alone and weak. You should know your place. Don't lose your life for nothing."
Goatee stroked his beard in an old-fashioned manner.
Song Hai was not frightened. He shook his numb hands and stared at the middle-aged man in the brocade robe. "Sun Buye, return my Song family's assets and I'll leave!"
"My Sun family has already devoured it and you still want us to spit it out?"
Sun Buye's sinister smile floated out of his mouth. He raised his head and snorted. "Elder Li, since he doesn't know what's good for him, break his hands and throw him away."
"Song Hai, why do you have to give in to your moment of anger?"
Iron Leg Li slowly walked out, "You advanced to the Connate realm at such a young age and have a bright future. Why do you still care about these secular things?"
"Hmph, a year ago, my Song family encountered a tragic disaster. I was in seclusion to break through, so it's understandable that I didn't know the situation and didn't come back. Now that I'm capable, how can I still hide in the dark and let you snatch my Song family's assets at will?"
"Then I can only ruthlessly cripple a genius like you!"
A cold light flashed in Li Tiejiu's eyes. He strode forward and slashed down with his palm. Then, his left foot cut Song Hai's thigh like a knife and began to specialize in attacking. The lethality was even more terrifying.
Song Hai's iron palm, which he was good at, was suddenly overstretched. Soon, his thigh was grazed, and blood immediately flowed out. He became limping.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The older the ginger, the spicier it was. It was as if he was facing a storm and could be torn apart at any moment.
"Hehe, an arm can't win against a thigh. Didn't your master tell you that palm techniques can't win against leg techniques?"
Li Tiexu sneered and used words to break down Song Hai's confidence.
These words were indeed effective. He, who lacked enough experience was tricked by the sly old fox, and his defense showed flaws again.
Swoosh!
BANG!
Song Hai spat out blood and flew out. He was kicked one hundred feet away, shattering his bones and tendons of a few people watching the show. The crowd retreated like a swarm of bees.
"It's not like you have a system like me. Why are you trying to be strong?"
When Song Shi, who had just arrived, saw his fourth brother's miserable state, he muttered in his heart and shook his head helplessly.
He formed a seal with one hand, and his physique and appearance changed again. In an instant, he became twenty to thirty years older than usual.
The people nearby were dodging in a panic. Coupled with the interference of his Nomological power, they were not qualified to notice at all. Even the Connate experts of the Sun family were not qualified.
The latter took advantage of the situation and jumped up from the ground, stomping down on Song Hai.
Song Hai dodged in a panic. His feet, which were wearing special shoes, stepped on the floor and burst like bubbles.
This kick was just the beginning. Song Hai was chased until he rolled on the ground in an especially sorry state.
"Hahaha! Are you Song family dogs? Do you like to roll on the ground so much?"
Sun Buye laughed loudly.
PIAK
With a crisp sound, Sun Buye's laughter came to an abrupt end. A palm print appeared on his face, and blood gushed out from his mouth.
"Who?"
His expression was gloomy as he hurriedly looked around. In the end, there were no outsiders around him at all. Even his own people were a distance away from him.
"I am here."
Song Shi walked out nonchalantly. At this moment, he had become a middle-aged man. He was an older version of himself.
"You want to interfere in my Sun family's matters? You have to think carefully about the consequences!"
Sun Buye threatened.
Piak, piak, piak!
Song Shi slapped Sun Buye eight times in a row, making him dizzy. He sat on the ground, and his face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"That's my answer. Is it enough?"
"He has a death wish. How dare he act so arrogantly in front of my Sun family? Everyone, let's kill him together!"
The guards behind Sun Buye were enraged. Slapping their head in front of them was equivalent to slapping them.
At this moment, Iron Leg Li did not stop because of Song Shi's appearance. Instead, he increased his attack speed and wanted to quickly take down Song Hai to prevent any accidents from happening.
Song Shi was blocked by the Sun family's guards and who were eyeing him covetously.
He was really not afraid of anything. He said expressionlessly, "Don't block the way."
Clang!
Amidst the sound of the saber being drawn, a cold light flashed as it slashed fiercely at Song Shi.
Song Shi narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. A powerful force swept over.
Boom!
The ground shook, and more than ten guards were sent flying. They screamed and fell at the entrance. Many of the weapons in their hands were broken. Some cut themselves, and some were stabbed nearby.
Sun Buye, who had been slapped, changed his expression and quietly retreated. Song Shi flicked his finger in the air.
BANG!
Sun Buye spat out a mouthful of blood and flew out. He crashed into the stone lion, shattering it into pieces.
The stone shattered. Sun Buye, who did not practice martial arts was turned into meat paste on the spot. He was actually killed directly.
"The Sun Family Head is dead!"
"How terrifying. Who is this person? He killed someone without even saying a word."
"This is a ruthless person. Let's hide further away."
The people who were watching the show did not expect that even bystanders would be splashed with blood. They retreated in fear.
This time, Iron Leg Li was no longer in the mood to beat up Song Hai who was down on their luck. He turned his head and stared at Song Shi with a solemn expression. "Your casual strike have such strong power. I've never seen you among the martial arts masters of Silken City."
Song Shi could not be bothered to explain. He walked over quickly step by step, clearly wanting to deal with the other party.
Iron Leg Li's eyes were dark and a green cyclone appeared on his legs. He jumped up and kicked Song Shi's head in the air.
Song Shi grabbed the stone lion from afar and smashed it down.
Iron Leg Li's expression changed. He did not expect this person to be able to grab a stone lion that weighed more than fifty thousand kilograms from afar. He hurriedly changed his move and kicked the stone lion.
Crack!
The lion's head exploded from the kick. Rocks flew everywhere. Iron Leg Li borrowed the force to retreat, wanting to accumulate time to prepare his attack again. n0๐๐พ๐ณ๐๐๐.๐0๐ฆ
Song Shi pursed his lips and took a step forward. His red palm slapped down. Crack!
"Ah!"
Iron Leg Li was slapped to the ground. He hugged his thigh and screamed. His bones were broken and twisted like broken wood.

"Iron Leg Li's leg is broken!"
"How impressive. Who is he? He broke Master Li's legs with a single slap."
"Expert, this is an expert even more powerful than Iron Leg Li!"
When the onlookers, who were originally afraid, saw that Song Shi had crushed the expert Iron Leg Li, they immediately became excited and started discussing excitedly.
Iron Leg Li was shocked and furious. "You're too much. What right do you have to interfere in our Sun family's matters?"
"Give me back the Song family's assets, or I'll kill you!"
Song Shi raised his hand. Just by circulating a little of the power of the Dragon Elephant Art, he could form an oppressive force.
Iron Leg Li was pressed to the ground by the powerful aura and shouted in panic, "Wanderer Ding, why are you still watching the show?!"
Swoosh!
A flying sword emitting a yellow glow suddenly shot out from behind the door and stabbed at Song Shi's head.
Song Shi raised his hand to stop it.
Roar!
A golden elephant the size of a small building stepped out. With a ferocious and Domineering force, it shattered the flying sword with a bang.
"Pfft."
The Dharma artifact shattered and a short old man at the door suffered a backlash. His face turned pale on the spot and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a shocked expression.
"My Dharma artifact!"
Swoosh!
Song Shi instantly appeared at the side and smashed his elbow down.
The ground shook as the cultivator was beaten into the soil, blood flowing out continuously.
When Iron Leg Li saw this, he dragged his broken lower body and turned to run.
BOOM!
A foot landed and broke his spine. His entire body bent and crumpled as he sank into the ground, dying a tragic death.
The onlookers immediately became silent like cicadas in winter, not daring to discuss further.
"Are you going to return or not?"
Song Shi's qi and blood were like an elephant's. He was spotless as he steadily walked towards the Sun family.
"Return! We'll return your assets. Please don't do anything!"
"Don't kill us!"
The Sun family collapsed. In a flash, the two trump cards of the family were killed. It was too terrifying. They felt that if they hesitated any longer, they would definitely die. They might even be wiped out.
"I'll give you one day to spit out everything you swallowed and compensate for something of the same value. Otherwise, I'll destroy your Sun family."
Song Shi's expression was cold. He had been so ruthless not only because Song Hai's defeat or that the Sun family had embezzled the Song family's assets, but also because he held a grudge against the Sun Family.
Moreover, he was strong enough now. There was no need to be so polite. People who deserved it should be killed. There was no need to beat around the bush.
"Yes, yes, we'll do as you say."
The Sun family's heads kept nodding like they were chickens pecking at rice.
Song Shi looked at Song Hai, who hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Senior!"
To be able to kill two experts so easily, this person must be a martial arts grandmaster above the Connate realm.
Song Shi nodded slightly, "These two dead people's things are yours."
"Ah."
Song Hai did not expect to receive any benefits. He was a little stunned.
"I'll leave the Song family business to you."
Song Shi was about to leave with his hands behind his back. He had no intention of meeting anyone else here.
He had many enemies now. If others found out that he was still helping the Song family, it would easily bring disaster to Song Hai and the others.
"Senior, are you leaving? You've helped me so much. I haven't had the time to thank you properly."
Song Hai wanted to say something but hesitated. He felt that this person was a little familiar, but he was sure that he had never seen him before.
"I'll stay in Silken City for another two days. Also, you don't have to feel burdened. I'm also a member of the Song family and I'm related to you."
Song Shi could tell what Song Hai was thinking and took the initiative to say it.
"Can you tell me how I should address you?"
Song Hai was secretly happy. He didn't expect his family to have such a powerful relative. He actually didn't know about this before.
Song Shi casually made up a relationship and said, "I'm your second uncle."
"Second Uncle."
Song Hai thought for a moment. His father was already in his sixties. There were no other people of the same generation. He had never heard of anyone of a higher generation. This person was probably in his eighties or nineties.
He looked so young. It must be because he had reached the Foundation Establishment realm and his vitality had increased greatly.
He fell into deep thought. In this world, Connate cultivators could live for three hundred years. Foundation Establishment cultivators could live for another three hundred years. Eighty to ninety years old at that stage was equivalent to twenty years old for ordinary people.
"Pack up. Take me to the house for a while."
Song Shi waved his hand and did not say anything else.
"Okay, Second Uncle."
Song Hai replied happily. He turned around and took out Iron Leg Li's storage bag that was buried in the soil. Then, he looked at the special Dharma artifacts on his feet. They were a pair of special boots.
"I'm afraid this guy has feet odour. When he kicked me just now, the stench almost killed me."
Although his face was full of disdain, he still took it off. As expected, the smell of Iron Leg Li's stinky feet spread.
"Ugh, it stinks!"
He hurriedly held his breath and turned to dodge as he retched.
Song Shi frowned and raised his hand to release the palm wind to prevent the stench from spreading to him.
"Sigh, an old martial arts master like Iron Leg Li died just like that."
"That's right. It was too fast. I was about to ask my son to learn martial arts from him, but he was beaten into a meat paste."
"This Song Hai's Second Uncle is even more powerful. I wonder if he will accept disciples."
"What's that smell?"
The stench dissipated. The people who were watching the show and discussing at the side vomited one after another. Some even fainted from the smell.
They looked at Song Shi gloomily and ran away one after another, the stench of feet spreading down the whole street.
Song Shi had a strange expression on his face. "This can't be something this guy did on purpose right? Or perhaps if he can't win, he will take off his shoes and give a chemical attack."
Song Hai quickly looted the other dead guy who didn't even have time to say his name. He ran back and said, "Second Uncle, I'm done packing."
"Let's go."
Song Shi turned around and followed Song Hai back to the Song residence. He went straight to his room.
Song Hai was a little surprised. Why would Second Uncle come to his seventh brother's room? Was it a coincidence?
Song Shi walked in and closed the door. Then, he threw out an array disc to isolate the outside.
"Second Uncle, you're so cautious. It's worth learning from you."
Song Hai flattered him imperceptibly.
"What happens next is a secret. You can't reveal it, or you'll die for sure."
Song Shi said coldly. Then, his bones, flesh, and skin changed and quickly returned to their original appearance.
"Youโฆ"
Song Hai looked at Song Shi in shock, "You're Seventh Brother?"
A smile appeared on Song Shi's face as he teased, "I'm also your Second Uncle." n0๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐ท.๐ 0๐
"F*ck your Second Uncle, you're taking advantage of me."
Song Hai rushed over and grabbed Song Shi's neck. He said in surprise and joy, "Seventh Brother, you're actually stronger than me. You killed a Connate cultivator and a Qi Refinement cultivator in a few moves. You're so capable. I didn't realize you were so powerful previously."
"It can't be helped. Geniuses can't be judged by common people."
Song Shi smiled proudly and thought to himself, "No matter how powerful a genius is, he can't compare to a cheat."
"You're really a genius. I reckon only those fellows from those large sects can compare to you."
Song Hai agreed. Thinking of the information he had obtained, he asked curiously, "Seventh Brother, didn't you go to the Yao Moon Palace? Why are you back? Could it be that those women were too fierce and you couldn't take it, so you were scared away?"
"How is that possible? It's something else. I'm already in another sect. It's more complicated."
Song Shi did not say much. His Fourth Brother's strength was very powerful to ordinary people, but in the entire cultivation world, he could only be considered a beginner. He had not even come into contact with the matter of him being possessed.

"No matter what, thank you for your help."
Everyone had secrets. Song Hai tactfully did not ask further. He said gratefully, "If it weren't for you, I would definitely have suffered a huge loss today. Even if I didn't die, my hands would probably be broken."
"Who asked you to act tough? The Sun family has some connections with the Demonic Cults. They're not simple."
Song Shi reminded, "Even if I kill those two cultivators, you still have to be careful in the future."
"They may have the Demonic Sect's support behind them,but I have the Iron Palm Sect behind me. I won't be afraid."
Song Hai had a strong personality and was unwilling to admit defeat.
"Alright, you will also have a Second Uncle support you in the future."
Song Shi smirked.
"Taking advantage of me again."
Song Hai rolled his eyes but wasn't angry. He said, "But with a fake Second Uncle like you, I really do have an additional backer."
"Just don't reveal my true identity, or you'll attract some of my enemies."
Song Shi reminded.
"I understand. Are you really leaving in two days?"
Song Hai was a little reluctant. "We haven't seen each other for more than three years. I still want to hang out with you for a few days."
"There are some things I have to deal with. I can't stay here for long. Let's do something meaningful these two days while I'm still around."
Song Shi's gaze turned cold. "Since you want to rebuild the Song family and take back everything we used to owe. You have to take them back with interest."
"Today, since you killed two experts from the Sun family, it shouldn't be a problem for you to demand that they pay up with interest."
Song Hai nodded and said with a smile, "Second Uncle, shall we visit New Moon Brothel?"
"Go? You should hurry up and take over the Song Family's matters. Someone is already here."
Song Shi kicked Song Hai, "You'll be busy for the next two days."
"They're here to return our things so quickly? Looks like they've really been frightened."
Song Hai retracted his smile and walked out.
"Elder, someone from the Sun family is here to visit."
"Okay, I understand. Treat my Second Uncle well for me."
Song Hai arranged for servants to go out and receive the visitors.
Not only the Sun family, but the other people who had embezzled the Song family's assets also came to apologize. They didn't want to become enemies with the Song family.
Overnight, all the people who had secretly divided up the Song family's assets returned them.
Song Hai was busy the entire night. When he was done the next day, he hurriedly came to Song Shi's room and said with a smile, "Your methods yesterday were very effective. You recovered more than half of the family assets in a short period of time."
"Most people bully the weak and fear the strong. If we're ruthless, they'll be honest."
Song Shi replied.
"Indeed, but why do I feel that there's a hidden meaning in your words? Are you saying that you're strong and I'm weak?"
As Song Hai spoke, he became agitated.
"You're as mischievous as ever."
Song Shi pursed his lips and chuckled, "But I'm indeed tougher than you."
"I don't believe it. Let's compete at the New Moon Brothel."
Song Hai let out a strange laugh.
"You're trying to trick me into going."
Song Shi snorted, "Since you want to go so badly, I'll reluctantly accompany you."
"Tsk, I think you just want to go."
Song Hai was disdainful.
"Let's go. I haven't gone to listen to their music for almost a year. I miss it a little."
Song Shi could not help but recall the past when he went to the brothel with his fourth brother.
Song Hai walked over and hooked his arm around Song Shi's neck. He winked. "Seventh Brother, are the women in the Yao Moon Palace really like wolves and tigers?"
"They're much more terrifying than wolves or tigersโฆ"
Song Shi could not help but think of Lu Yue. His face twitched. "F*ck, you don't know. There are actually men who turn into women there. I almost lost my 'virginity' to one."
"A man?"
Song Hai's eyes widened. "You're quite lucky with love. It's fine if women likes you, but even men likes you?"
"Bullshit. It was a man who turned into a woman. It's impossible to tell whether he was a man or woman. Fortunately, he turned into an old woman and I firmly refused her."
"Haha, if he was a beautiful young woman, wouldn't youโฆ"
"So we can't be too casual. What if something like this happens?"
"I don't even dare to go now. After all, the New Moon Brothel is an external organization of the Yao Palace. There might be such people in there too."
"Maybe you're already slept with one."
"Impossible!"
The two of them played around for a while. After walking out of the room, Song Shi turned into Second Uncle and walked out with a serious expression. Song Hai let go of him and followed behind with a respectful expression.
"Second Uncle, are you leaving tomorrow?"
Song Hai asked casually and realized that his seventh brother had stopped at the door.
"What happened?"
He sensed that something was wrong.
"It's nothing. Someone just planted an ambush on the ground."
Song Shi walked in front of a stone slab and grabbed at the air. The stone slab flipped open, revealing a yellow talisman.
The patterns on it were fiery red and contained explosive power. It was a kind of explosive talisman.
"We've been ambushed!"
Song Hai's expression changed as he looked around warily.
"Stand at the door for a while. I'll go out and scout the way first."
Song Shi waved his hand and strode out, as if he was not afraid of an ambush.
"Go?"
A sinister voice sounded, and a figure appeared on the roof. "You're surrounded by Explosive Talismans. I've also placed many of the Song family's people here. Where are you running to?"
When Song Shi saw this person, his gaze paused on the fox mask for a moment. He felt that the other party's voice was a little familiar.
He frowned, "Did you also set up an Explosive Talisman in the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range before?"
The fox mask gave Song Shi a strange look. "How did you know? Could it be that you were affected by it back then?"
"So it's you."
Song Shi's eyes flashed. He thought of the first time he was buried and suffocated to death. His face darkened. "Enemies are really bound to meet on a narrow road. I can even meet an enemy here."
"I've never seen you before. I guess you've been hit by the Explosive Talisman I set up. I wonder how it feels?"
The fox mask deliberately provoked him, wanting to find out Song Shi's background.
"So it's really you. There aren't many people who play this game. I didn't expect to meet you here. Enemies are indeed bound to meet on a narrow road."
Song Shi muttered and repeated his words. Then he raised his hand to punch hard.
Boom!
A terrifying power was released, and a void distorted. With a deafening sound, the latter was instantly shattered.
Song Shi easily got another lucky draw chance.
This person did not even realize that Song Shi was so powerful until he died. He was directly killed from afar.
Song Hai was originally prepared to hide and avoid the explosion, but this enemy who appeared and died so quickly caused him to forget about his plan.
"That's it?"
Song Hai was stunned. "Why do I feel that he was actually quite powerful?"
"He's just another old fox"
Song Shi pursed his lips. With a wave of his hand, stone slabs flew up one after another. There were Explosive Talismans stuck to the bottom of each stone slab. There were even Explosive Talismans in the underground and walls of the Song residence.
With so many Explosive Talismans, they could level the Song Residence to the ground and even threaten Golden Core lifeforms when exploded.
Song Hai felt his scalp go numb.
"Damn it, I was so busy collecting the family assets last night that I didn't even notice that there was an ambush laid out."
Song Hai cursed.
At this moment, a portion of the Explosive Talisman lit up, and destructive power spread.
Song Hai stopped cursing and said in shock, "What's going on? Isn't he dead?" n0๐ฑ๐๐๐ฒ๐๐ท.๐0๐ฆ
"It should be a backup plan. For example, if he dies, it will still explode."
Song Shi slapped the ground hard and shook his hand. All the Explosive Talismans that lit up were bounced into the sky. In an instant, they were more than a hundred meters away.
RUMBLE!
A string of fireballs appeared in the air and connected like fireworks.
Report chapter Comments
The sky was fiery red, and more than half of Silken City was illuminated. For a moment, the ground shook, and the deafening sound frightened children to tears.
Song Hai was not in the mood to appreciate the fire clouds and fireworks. His face was pale as he said, "If this f*cking exploded on the ground, we would all be finished."
"I won't be finished."
Song Shi looked at the fire clouds that filled the sky and sighed, "An explosion does have a different kind of beauty indeed. It looks very satisfying."
"I can't appreciate it. It's better to admire a real beauty's charm and skills."
Song Hai took a deep breath, "I need gentle comfort to relieve the pressure in my heart."
"What are you thinking about? There are still troubles that haven't been resolved."
Song Shi lowered his head and looked at a wall in the distance. "Do you want to come out yourself, or do you want me to beat you into meat paste and bury you there?"
"Senior, please spare me."
A middle-aged man with a head full of cold sweat jumped out, "I'm just passing by. I don't have any ill intentions towards you."
"Passing by? Then I'll kill you casually. Who asked you to walk here?"
Song Shi raised his hand.
Plop!
The lion-haired middle-aged man was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. "Senior, please spare me. I was invited by Ma Daowei whom you have killed to help. He had secretly accepted the offerings of the Sun family to attack you. I have nothing to do with the Sun family."
"That's nonsense. What did he have to with us? Is there a need for him to provoke us?"
Song Shi sneered. "Which faction are you both from?"
"The Sacred Fire Sect."
The Sacred Fire Sect was a medium-sized sect from the Demonic Cults. They worked for the Sky Demon Cult and liked to use fire-attribute methods. They were most famous for their explosive talismans.
"He has a sect master, right?" Song Shi said meaningfully.
Xie Shen was stunned for a moment before answering, "He took an elder as his master."
"Take me to him."
"That elder is possibly a Foundation Establishment superhuman or a late-stage cultivator. Are you sure you want to find him?"
Xie Shen was stunned.
"Second Uncle, why don't we forget about it? The guys from the Demonic Cults are more ferocious and dangerous."
When Song Hai heard that it was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was worried that he would attract an even more powerful character.
"Not as powerful as your Second Uncle."
Song Shi chuckled, and his expression became more domineering. "We have to get rid of this matter so that they won't dare to provoke the Song family easily."
"Understood!"
Song Hai did not object anymore. He could tell that his seventh brother was really confident, but he did not know where his confidence came from. After all the enemy was at the Extraordinary Foundation Establishment realm.
This was no ordinary person!
Xie Shen led the way fearfully to a bamboo forest outside the city.
The bamboos here were dry and yellow. Most of them were dead bamboos. The entire bamboo forest was dead silent.
"Senior, Master Yan is cultivating here. He's a senior elder of our Sacred Fire Sect. His fire-elemental spells are quite powerful. He can be said to be a Master in the Dao of Talismans."
Xie Shen introduced.
Song Shi looked at this person in surprise. He looked rough, but he was a little meticulous.
"Senior, my name is Xie Shen. I like to be careful when I do things. No matter how you and Elder Yan talk, I don't want to be implicated."
"You can leave. This has nothing to do with you anymore."
Song Shi waved his hand.
"Thank you, Senior."
Xie Shen felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly used the Light Body Technique to slip away.
"You're just going to let him go?"
Song Hai looked in the direction where Xie Shen had left. "Maybe he also informed Master Yan at the same time."
"This kind of person only sides with the strong. He will be useful to you in the future."
Song Shi looked confident, "Wait for me here. I'll come over after I deal with the problem. It won't be long."
With that, Song Shi disappeared.
Song Hai rubbed his eyes, "So fast. Has this kid really reached the Foundation Establishment realm? How ridiculous."
In the bamboo forest.
"Those who trespass shall die!"
There were four words engraved on a small stone. The stone at the mark had melted. It was completely burned down by high temperatures.
"This is the Dead Bamboo Forest?"
Song Shi appeared on the rock. He thought of some things that happened when he first came into contact with the cultivation world. He pursed his lips and flew in leisurely.
He still disguised a portion of his strength and only used the Dragon Elephant Technique to walk towards Master Yan. n0๐๐ฒ๐๐๐๐ฏ.๐0๐
Withered bamboo leaves floated down. The air on Song Shi's path distorted, and a fire snake suddenly rose from the fiery red light.
Song Shi's power transformed into a huge fire elephant that barged over, crushing the fire snake.
There was a buzzing sound nearby. The Array Formation Power was alarmed, and wisps of Fire Beams shot towards Song Shi.
Song Shi's body swayed and he actually dodged the attack. With a light tap of his finger, the array formation in front of him distorted violently and shattered with a bang.
"What? You actually broke my Flame Dragon Array in an instant!"
In the array formation that exploded like fireworks, a red-bearded black-robed man rushed out in shock with an ugly expression.
"Its only a few little snakes but you dare to call them dragons?"
Song Shi scoffed. The power on his body transformed into a giant elephant that rushed over without hesitation.
"Who are you? Why are you causing trouble for me?"
Venerable Master Yan frowned. He was forced by Song Shi's Aura and hurriedly retreated to dodge.
A large number of giant bamboo forest elephants stepped on the ground and burst into flames. A hole was blasted into the ground, and the destructive power was shocking.
Master Yan landed one hundred feet away in a sorry state. There were rings of defensive talismans on his body, and some of them had already shattered.
He looked wary and said angrily, "You barged into my territory for no reason. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
"Your disciple, Ma Daowei, provoked my Song family. I've already killed him. Do you want to avenge him?"
Song Shi's hair fluttered and the golden energy transformed into the low cry of a giant elephant that shook the Void, causing Master Yan's heart to involuntarily constrict.
"Little Ma?"
Master Flame frowned. "He's still a child. How did he provoke you? Was there a need to kill him?"
Song Shi was deep in thought, "So you're going to avenge him?"
"He's very talented. He could have inherited my mantleโฆ"
Before Master Yan could finish speaking, he realized that the elephant's nose was expanding rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a fire dragon.
This was a real dragon. It was more than ten times larger than the fire snakes released by his Array Formation. Most importantly, it contained terrifying power. The pressure it emitted made him feel as if he was pressing down a mountain, and he could not move for a moment.
"You're not a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!"
He was shocked. He widened his eyes and watched as the fire dragon instantly arrived in front of him and swallowed him.
Roarโฆ
Amidst the dragon's roar, flames surged. The entire Death Bamboo Forest turned into ashes and was flattened by a single move.
In the boundless sea of fire, Song Shi retracted his strength and said indifferently, "Since he's a child, you should accompany him. Otherwise, how lonely would he be in the afterworld?"
After killing this person, Song Shi collected his spoils of war and went outside in the blink of an eye.
Song Hai was dumbfounded as he looked at the bamboo forest that had turned into a sea of fire. When he saw Song Shi return, he asked, "It's over so quickly?"
"What else? Do you think I will be drinking and chatting with him inside?"
Song Shi shrugged. "Let's go and see if there's anyone to avenge them. If there isn't, we'll be safe."
"What if there is?"
Song Hai was worried. "I'm just afraid that killing the young will offend the old. Killing one will attract a group of people."
"That's easy. We will just kill as many as we can."
Song Shi's expression was cold. "At most, we'll just destroy the entire Sacred Fire Sect."
"Umโฆ"
Song Hai didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only raise his thumb. "You're really a ruthless one. I couldn't tell before."

On a small mountain more than ten kilometers away from the Dead Bamboo Forest, Xie Shen had just stopped when he turned around and realized that the Dead Bamboo Forest had turned into a sea of fire.
"So fierce!"
He was flabbergasted. He had thought that even if the two sides fought, the Second Uncle of the Song family would not be in a good position. After all, this was Master Yan's territory.
In the end, in just a short while, they had destroyed their nest. Master Yan was probably doomed.
"This poor family actually has such a backer. I can't afford to offend him."
He had a look of fear on his face. He decided to leave Silken City as soon as possible and not get involved in this mess.
Just as he activated his Dharma artifact, Song Shi's figure appeared in front of him with a swoosh. When he saw it clearly, he bowed anxiously. "Senior, what instructions do you have?"
"Does this Master Yan have any friends or family who are willing to avenge him?"
Song Shi asked.
"No, he's an independent cultivator. He stepped onto the path of cultivation halfway in his life. He doesn't have any background and his Talent is limited. He basically has no hope of forming a core in his life. That's why he's obsessed with talismans and used other methods to increase his strength."
Xie Shen shook his head. He knew Master Yan's situation quite well.
"Do you think the Sacred Fire Sect will avenge him?" Song Shi asked the second question.
"Thisโฆ I think so. After all, he's an elder in the sect. For the sake of their face, they should avenge him. However, Senior is very powerful so I don't think many people are willing to risk their lives."
Xie Shen told the truth. This was human nature. The face of the sect was important, but for everyone, their lives were definitely more important.
"Bring me to the Sacred Fire Sect."
Song Shi decided to make a trip.
Xie Shen was stunned. Was he going to deal with this sect alone?
"Most of the experts in the sect are not around. If Senior really wants to go, I can only give you the location. I don't dare to lead the way. Otherwise, it will be terrible if the sect finds out."
Xie Shen smiled bitterly.
"The experts aren't here?"
Song Shi's gaze flickered.
Xie Shen said something that Song Shi knew of.
"Oh, that's good."
Song Shi pondered and said, "Continue leading the way."
He had to seize such a good opportunity. He would destroy a portion of the sect first and deal with the remaining members at the Langya Immortal Meeting.
He did not bring Song Hai with him anymore and only left with Xie Shen.
After traveling for half a day, they arrived at Li Province, which was in the southwest of Jinzhou.
This place was close to one of the nine great countries. Most of the regions were a fiery red wasteland. There were very few people here, and it was completely different from Jinzhou, which had beautiful mountains and clear waters.
The Sacred Fire Sect was located in the most remote corner of the Li Prefecture. If not for someone leading the way, Song Shi would have spent a lot of time searching for it.
Song Shi sat on the flying boat and looked down at the endless Gobi Desert. The sand on the ground churned, and when he got close, he felt like he was floating on a red sea.
"Strange, why is there such a huge sandstorm near the sect?"
Xie Shen, who was sitting at the side, revealed a surprised expression. At this moment, a few streaks of light suddenly rushed out from the red sand.
A moment later, a few more sword lights followed closely behind, biting the one in front of them and not letting go.
"Survivors of the Demonic Sect, you can't escape!" n0๐๐ข๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐.๐0๐
"Die!"
"Ah!"
Amidst the shouts and screams, one of the lights in front was destroyed by the sword Qi. The cultivators inside had their limbs torn apart and were killed on the spot, bleeding in midair.
Song Shi looked at this scene in surprise.
The people who escaped were dressed in yellow uniforms. The pursuers were dressed in white, and most of them used swords. Their auras were sharp and carried a ferocious aura.
"Oh no, it's the Zenith Heaven Guards. The sect has been ambushed!"
Xie Shen's expression changed drastically as he exclaimed.
"Zenith Heaven Guardsโฆ"
Song Shi's gaze shifted slightly. This was a special team within the Demon Slayers. They were mainly in charge of killing and were led by the Zenith Heaven Sword King. They were very famous in Great Qian. He did not expect to meet them here.
He smiled. "Looks like the Sacred Fire Sect will be destroyed without me doing anything."
At this moment, after a few screams, the few people who escaped were all killed by the Zenith Heaven Guards.
Then, Sword Light flashed and surrounded Song Shi's flying ship!
"You guys came back at the right time. Kill them all so that we don't have to look for them!"
The leading Foundation Establishment sword cultivator sneered. His gaze was merciless, as if he was sizing up the two corpses.
They had already heard Xie Shen's exclamation and treated the two of them as elders and deacons who had returned from outside to the Sacred Fire Sect.
Xie Shen was so frightened that his face turned pale. Song Shi only asked him to lead the way, but these people would kill him.
He looked at Song Shi. This was the only person who could protect him now. He just didn't know if he was part of the Zenith Heaven Guards.
Relying on him probably wouldn't work. These people dared to destroy their Sacred Fire Sect, meaning that they were very confident. Moreover the Zenith Heaven Sword King was probably here too. Everyone would most likely die today.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a member of the Sacred Fire Sect. Moreover, I have the same goal as you guys. I'm here to destroy them."
Song Shi said calmly, "Now that you've made a move, you've dealt with it even more cleanly than me. It saves you a lot of trouble."
"You're quite good at pretending. Do you think you can leave safely by pretending to be an enemy of the Sacred Fire Sect?"
The leading Foundation Establishment sword cultivator scoffed, "Do you think we didn't hear what he said?"
Song Shi frowned. "He's from the Sacred Fire Sect. He led the way for me."
"Continue making up stories."
The Foundation Establishment swordsman had a disdainful expression. He lowered his head and shouted, "Come over brothers. A Foundation Establishment remnant and a Qi Refinement cultivator have returned. We can't let them escape."
Song Shi frowned. How could there still be a f*cking misunderstanding?
However, Xie Shen seemed to have grabbed onto a straw to clutch at. He rolled his eyes and said, "Elder Song, let's run quickly. Your flying ship is very fast. You will definitely be able to shake them off."
"Hehe, look, his lie collapsed on its own."
The leading swordsman looked smug.
Clang! Clang!
Amidst the sword cries, several sword lights rushed out from the sand. These Zenith Heaven Guards were also dressed in white and flew on their swords. Many of them were stained with blood which looked especially obvious.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The new Zenith Heaven Guards cooperated tacitly to block the flying ship's escape route. Apart from the swords under their feet, they also held swords in their hands. Some with high cultivation levels even floated beside them on their swords, ready to attack at any time.
In the blink of an eye, Song Shi and the flying ship were sealed by the Zenith Heaven Guards and sword beams. These sword beams were arranged in an orderly manner, clearly forming a sword array.
When Xie Shen saw that the Zenith Heaven Guards were confident of victory, cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he begged, "Elder Song, leave quickly. He won't believe you."
Crack!
A hand instantly grabbed his neck and twisted it gently. Song Shi stared coldly at the unbelievable Xie Shen. "Why are you talking so much nonsense? You're still playing tricks on me?"
"You!"
Xie Shen did not expect Song Shi to kill him at all. Regret appeared in his eyes.
If he did not open his mouth and continue to trick the Zenith Heaven Guards believe that this person was an elder of the Sacred Fire Sect, would he have a chance to live?
Unfortunately, there were no what ifs.
Flames emerged from Song Shi's hand. The terrifying flames turned him into ashes, leaving only his storage bag and Dharma artifacts. Song Shi skillfully put them away.
"As expected of someone from the Demonic Sect. He's really temperamental. He didn't hesitate to attack his own people."
The Foundation Establishment sword cultivators who came to support mocked.
Song Shi's face twitched as he stepped into a void.
BOOM!
With a loud bang, golden flames erupted. The pupils of the surrounding Zenith Heaven Guards constricted, and they were all sent flying by the blast of energy. Those with low cultivation spat out blood and fell on the spot.
"I don't want to explain to you anymore. If you want to die, just attack me!"
Song Shi looked disdainful. He was not even afraid of Nascent Soul cultivators, let alone these guys.

"Goldenโฆ Golden Core?"
The leading sword cultivator exclaimed and could not help but tremble.
A terrifying pressure spread in all directions. Song Shi was like a sun or a volcano, emitting endless explosive power that made them feel like they could turn into ashes at any moment.
None of them moved forward. If not for the fact that the main force was here, they would have turned around and fled.
"Come on, what are you waiting for?"
!!
Song Shi was surrounded by golden flames as he calmly looked down at all the Zenith Heaven Guards.
"If you guys don't want to fight, I'll do it."
Song Shi subconsciously wanted to use the Dragon Subduing Palm, but considering his current status, he ultimately changed his palm technique and chose the Iron Sand Palm.
"Stop!"
With a delicate shout,
Clang!
There was a sound of sword.
The white sword Qi soared into the sky and cut open the red sandstorm, shooting out a Phantom image.
This person was dressed in white and was extremely beautiful. Her entire body was spotless. Her long dress swayed, and her black hair fluttered in the wind. Her slender figure stood on a sword, and her aura was ethereal and otherworldly, carrying a heroic and fierce aura.
Song Shi's gaze shifted slightly. He did not expect to meet an old acquaintance here.
Chen Yiling! n0๐ฃ๐ข๐ต๐ข๐ฎ๐.๐ฐ0๐
The genius woman with the Sword Body Spiritual Conduit had obtained the recognition of a spirit sword in the ruins in the center of the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range. Her cultivation level was already at the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm.
With the spirit sword, even someone who had just entered the Golden Core realm might not be a match for this woman. She could be considered a natural cultivation genius.
"Her cultivation level has increased so quickly. As expected of a genius."
Song Shi sensed Chen Yiling's cultivation level and was shocked.
In a year, she had advanced from the Qi Refinement realm to the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm, it was simply terrifying. It was only slightly inferior to him.
"It's the effect of the spiritual sword. Coupled with her Sword Body Spiritual Conduit, increasing her strength is as easy as eating and drinking. It's happening every moment."
Song Shi thought to himself. He was not afraid.
He teased, "Little beauty, do you want me to stop, or do you want them to stop?"
"I told them to stop. There's no need to lose their lives for nothing. Senior is too strong. Even I don't have the confidence."
Chen Yiling's voice was crisp as she smiled generously.
She sized up Song Shi, and there was a hint of surprise in her sharp and bright eyes. Why did she have a strange feeling about this man?
This feeling only existed when she was with that person.
Her gaze landed on Song Shi's Dharmic powers, "Senior, you cultivate the Pure Yang True Fire? It seems to be even more powerful. It looks like your Nomological power is deep!"
"Oh no, even True Fire was recognized. Could it be that my alias has been exposed?"
Song Shi lamented in his heart. He could disguise himself, but he could not disguise his Nomological powers. If he did not use his Nine Yang Nomological powers, he could only use the Demonic Blood Transformation Technique.
However, since he was now known by the Blood-Robed old ghost in Great Qian. It would be easier for him to be exposed.
His expression didn't change. "Little beauty, you have good taste."
Cultivators could achieve the title of True Human at the Golden Core Martial King level when the power they cultivate condense their essence into a pill and turned illusion into reality.
According to the different cultivation Stats, the power of turning illusion into reality was different. Fire-elemental cultivators could naturally condense true fire. Water-elemental cultivators could condense true water. The other True Wood, True Earth, True Gold, True Thunder, and so on were similar.
For example, he had a Metal Stats Spiritual Root. If he was willing, he could also condense true gold. In fact, his current body was comparable to a real Vajra made of gold.
If he took another step forward, he would naturally be like a Numinous artifact, elevating his true fire to spiritual fire, immortal fire, divine fire, and other higher-level powers.
"The Pure Yang True Fire is a top-notch true fire. In the Sacred Fire Sect, only core disciples and sect masters can condense it. Senior, I wonder who you are so that we can get to know each other."
Chen Yiling said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Song Shi pursed his lips. Damn it, this was too much of a coincidence.
He cultivated fire attribute power and so did the Sacred Fire Sect. This made it even more difficult for him to clear up the misunderstanding.
It seemed that if he really had to keep up his act with multiple identities in the future, he also had to think of a way to hide his Nomological powers.
He started to plan in his heart and was not polite. He said coldly, "Are you here to kill me too? You're still not strong enough."
"If we don't try, how will we know how strong Senior is?"
Chen Yiling's hair danced in the wind as the sword aura on her body grew stronger and stronger. She actually dared to attack Song Shi.
"Courageous."
Song Shi chuckled and glanced at the sandstorm. A dilapidated mountain appeared faintly, and the smell of blood flowed out.
From the innermost position, he sensed a powerful aura that was already paying attention to him.
"Do you have anything to rely onโฆ"
Song Shi looked at the high-spirited Chen Yiling. This girl seemed to be a little arrogant after obtaining the spiritual sword.
Clang!
Chen Yiling suddenly became agile. Her entire body shone with a pure white light as the Metal Sword Essence filled her body. Her entire body fused with the spiritual sword and transformed into an even larger white sword that stabbed at Song Shi.
This strike was clean and straightforward, carrying an indomitable sword intent that could shatter everything. It seemed that no matter what was in front of him, she could break it with a single strike.
Song Shi watched calmly. He did not take out his Numinous artifacts or use any divine powers. He simply raised his hand.
Buzz!
The golden light was bedazzling. Dense runes crawled around Song Shi's body. His hand turned into a diamond and grabbed the tip of the sword.
Clang!
It was as if a sword had stabbed into the Golden Bell Shield. A metallic sound reverberated as the impact-type sword Qi was blocked by the Diamond Spirit Body. It looked sharp, but it could not advance an inch.
Chen Yiling's figure appeared amidst the sword Qi.
She put her hands together and held her longsword, using all her strength to attack.
Seeing Song Shi catch her strongest spiritual sword with his bare hands, her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
"The spiritual sword is very sharp, but it's master's strength is still a little lacking. Otherwise, I wouldn't be safe to catch it with my bare hands."
Song Shi grinned. His current physique was already powerful enough to clash with Numinous artifact. There was no need for him to use other weapons to deal with a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
"Yiling, retreat!"
A reminder came from the ground. Chen Yiling came back to her senses. She knew that she was no match for this person and wanted to retreat.
"It's too late. I only took your sword with my bare hands because I was waiting for you to throw yourself at me."
Song Shi's gaze was deep. He grabbed the spiritual sword and pulled it with all his might. Chen Yiling fell into his arms uncontrollably.
Chen Yiling realized that she could not use her sword anymore. In her panic, she hurriedly slapped out with her palm, but it was blocked by a circle of golden light. The recoil numbed her arm.
Song Shi pointed back and easily broke through her protective Sword Essence. A wisp of scorching Nomological power surged in and ran amok in her body, quickly scattering her Quintessential Essence.
Chen Yiling was shocked. She grunted and realized that she could not use much strength. It was too late for her to retreat.
An arm suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her in front of Song Shi.
Song Shi's fingers moved, and the runes outlined a translucent talisman that landed on Chen Yiling's body.
Seal!
Her True Essence and even her Spiritual Sword were temporarily sealed and she could not move.
"Let go!"
Clang!
A heaven-reaching sword beam slashed over. Song Shi had already expected this. He struck out with his other hand and with a boom, he was forced back dozens of feet by the sword beam.

"What a powerful body!" n0๐๐ข๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐.๐0๐
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 futureโฆ"
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."
โฆ
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.
"โฆ"
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?"
Report chapter Comments
"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!"
"โฆ"
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 pregnantโฆ
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 worldโฆ 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.
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 RootsโMetal 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.
"Dingโฆ 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.
โฆ
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.
โฆ
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. n0๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฎ๐ .๐0๐
While Song Shi was experiencing his new Physique, Chen Yiling was alarmed. She opened her bright eyes and said in disbelief, "Youโฆ Why do you have the Sword Body Spiritual Conduit too?"

"I saw that you had one, so I comprehended one too."
Song Shi chuckled. "How is it? Am I powerful?"
"โฆ"
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. n0๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฎ๐ .๐0๐
"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 Guardsโฆ"
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 toโฆ"
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, butโฆ"
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?

"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. n0๐ฅ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐.๐ธ0๐ช
"This tea's effect on low-level cultivators is actually so obvious. He only took a sipโฆ"
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 Yilingโฆ"
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 n0๐๐๐๐ข๐ฌ๐.๐0๐ช
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 timesโฆ"
"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 beโฆ"
"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.
Report chapter Comments
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 againโฆ"
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 Meetโฆ
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.
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!
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." n0๐๐๐๐ข๐ฌ๐.๐0๐ช
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."

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.
"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. n0๐๐๐๐ฎ๐๐.๐0๐
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.
Report chapter Comments
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."
โฆ n0๐๐๐ณ๐๐ข๐.๐0๐
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?" n0๐๐๐๐ฎ๐๐.๐0๐
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 techniquesโฆ 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 thatโฆ"
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.

"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!"
His entire body burned. Before he died, his eyes were still filled with fear and disbelief. Then, he turned into ashes. n0๐ฑ๐พ๐ ๐๐๐.๐0๐
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."
Report chapter Comments
No one on the stage dared to provoke Song Shi again. They did not even dare to mock him. Otherwise, if they were targeted by this guy, their half a day of hard work would be for naught.
"Crazy, this guy is really crazy!"
"You don't focus on climbing the Immortal opportunity platform and fight with others. Do you really think you can't use up all your Nomological power?"
"Maybe this old ghost is just covering for the other members of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. He hasn't thought about how far he can go."
The people below the stage started discussing. This time, not to mention Great Qian, even people from other countries knew about the Blood-Robed old ghost now. After asking casually and knowing the situation, they all felt that this person was crazy.
After Song Shi dealt with the Ye Family, he looked at the treasure at the three thousandth steps.
This was the threshold of the mystic realm reward. Light balls floated in the air behind the three thousandth steps. There were thousands of them distributed in different areas. The higher they went, the fewer they were. Their value increased correspondingly.
Treasures that were usually very rare could be seen here. Puppets, ancient talismans, formation plates, and so on could be seen everywhere.
After climbing another thousand steps in one go, Song Shi sized up the ball of light floating above his head.
There were all kinds of Dharma treasures, ingredients, and elixirsโฆ There was a dazzling array of them, and they were even more abundant than in the trading company.
After a quick scan, Song Shi suffered from difficult choice.
"This flying sword looks good."
"The puppet is very exquisite. It's actually similar to a real person."
"There are also quite a few medicinal pillsโฆ"
Song Shi pondered as he walked.
He did not lack Dharma treasures and talismans. Firstly he had two Numinous treasures and also the Heavenly Talisman Techniques that allowed him to condense talismans at will.
He did not lack cultivation techniques. The Nine Yang Divine Technique and the Pure Yang Scripture were both divine techniques and immortal techniques. There were many divine powers and spells, but there was a limited number of high-end divine powers and spells.
In this way, he only needed to choose medicinal pills, divine powers, and the stranger, unique things.
"No matter how high-end the rewards of the first level are, they won't be that high. There's no need to consider cultivation techniques and divine arts."
In the end, Song Shi chose pills and other treasures that could increase his cultivation level. Now that he had condensed the seventh Golden Core, he still needed majestic energy. He could use it immediately after obtaining it.
It was just that there were many types of medicinal pills. He could not be 100 percent sure if they were what he needed with just his naked eye. He could only rely on luck.
With that thought in mind, he continued climbing the steps. After one thousand more steps, the pressure had already doubled, and it was present every moment. n0๐ฑ๐ฌ๐ต๐๐ฌ๐.๐ฌ0๐
Song Shi was not too affected. After walking a few hundred steps, he saw a ball of light. There was a ball of golden flames inside, emitting an extremely yang aura.
"What is this? This is what I need!"
Song Shi became interested and walked towards the ball of light.
He was not in a straight line with his target. The path he took diagonally would be further, and he would consume more energy in the end.
When Chen Yiling and the others saw Song Shi's movements, they were rather speechless. Was this person really walking around the 'market' as he pleased?
"We'll just choose a reward from the place we pass by. There's no need to waste our energy looking for it like him."
Luo Chi comforted himself. "All we have to do is climb more steps. The shortest straight line."
"Not many people walk diagonally. I'm impressed."
Lu Youyou complained and looked at Chen Yiling, "Where are you from?"
"Elder told me not to talk to you." Chen Yiling used Song Shi as a shield.
โฆ
Song Shi had already left the team and walked down the stairs one by one. Soon, the pressure was comparable to three times that of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.
This time, Song Shi's footsteps also slowed down a little. The three times pressure was omnidirectional, and it was present both inside and outside. The speed at which his Dharmic powers circulated clearly slowed down, and every move he made seemed to be dragging something.
"According to this ratio, if you want to complete the steps, you have to withstand at least ten times the pressure of the same level. Moreover, it's not in a short period of time. You have to complete a thousand steps."
Song Shi took a deep breath. He thought that his foundation was not bad, but he really did not have much confidence in surviving ten times the pressure.
He temporarily focused on what was in front of him and began to adjust his state.
No matter how deep his foundation was, there was no need to waste his energy. He also wanted to improve his control over his strength under the pressure of this step.
He estimated that apart from testing the foundation of the mystic realm, it also had the purpose of testing the cultivator's ability to control his powers. If he did not waste any energy, the chances of successfully reaching the top would naturally be higher.
Of course, he estimated that there was also a problem of choice. One had to give up something to gain something. With so many treasures in front, it was easier to be distracted.
"I made too many mistakes."
Song Shi had a strange thought as he continued walking.
He collected his thoughts and quickly adjusted his state of mind.
Under the pressure, Song Shi was forced to learn how to accurately control the circulation and consumption of his strength, speed and Nomological power. Even the distribution of his Spiritual strength must be particular.
Song Shi was different from the other cultivators.
Ordinary cultivators had to consider their consumption to prevent themselves from falling into danger due to insufficient Nomological power.
As for Song Shi, he could be fully recovered after his resurrection. His Nomological power was especially abundant, several times that of ordinary cultivators of the same level. There was no need to consider conservation.
It was equivalent to starting from scratch to make up for some of his shortcomings.
His powerful Comprehension allowed him to learn very quickly. However, when he reached the three thousandth step, his entire body was already covered in sweat, and his breathing became hurried.
In front of him, a ball of light floated. There was a high-grade Dharma treasure inside.
Song Shi did not even look at it. His Physique was comparable to Dharma treasures, so there was no need for him to take too many Dharma treasures.
He walked past the balls of light and approached the six thousandth step.
This meant that the treasure in the ball of light was about to reach the second level.
Upon closer inspection, pure fire attribute power spread out through the ball of light, causing the nearby temperature to rise and constantly distort.
"What pure fire attribute power. It seems to be a flame similar to my Pure Yang True Fire."
Song Shi was deep in thought. He slowly walked over and was about to reach out to take it.
"Blood-Robed old ghost, right?"
A slightly domineering voice sounded from behind the door. "I've already reserved this. It's best if you don't touch it."
Song Shi could not be bothered to turn his head. He grabbed the ball of light and received a message.
The same reward could only be obtained once!
He was not surprised and continued to make contact.
Puchi!
The ball of light shattered, and a wisp of pure golden flames appeared like the sun. Song Shi hurriedly released the Pure Yang True Fire to envelop it and realized that it was still lacking.
"What kind of fire is this!"
Song Shi was surprised. His Pure Yang True Fire was even more powerful than ordinary ones. It belonged to the Nine Yang True Fire, but it was inferior to these flames.
"Hand over the Supreme Yang True Fire!"
A harsh voice sounded from behind him. Then, a red flame attacked, wanting to snatch this wisp of fire.
With a backhand slap, a dragon roar soared into the sky. With a bang, the person who attacked was forced back.
Song Shi glanced at him. He did not recognize the red-haired youth. His gaze landed on the fire in his palm. "So it's the Supreme Yang True Fire!"
The Supreme Yang True Fire was stronger than his Nine Yang True Fire. Only when he condensed all nine Golden Cores and merged the Nine Yang into one could he further cultivate the Supreme Yang True Fire.
There was a wisp here. Not to mention that absorbing and refining it could increase his cultivation, if he used it to comprehend, it would also help his cultivation level increase.
Report chapter Comments
This was a flame that could only be cultivated when his Nine Yang Divine Technique reached the next realm. With this flame, he might be able to do it in advance.
To him, the Supreme Yang True Fire was very precious, and it was the same for others.
"Hand it over. This is not something you have the right to take!"
The red-haired youth berated.
"Where did this annoying brat come from?"
Song Shi's Nomological power surged as he put away the wisp of Supreme Yang True Fire. He would first resolve the problem here before absorbing and refining it.
He sized up the person. His eyebrows and hair were red with flames. His eyes were also red, as if two balls of flames were burning.
The bridge of his nose was sharp and slightly curved. He had an aquiline nose and was wearing a red feather cloak. He looked rather strange.
Sensing the other party's aura, Song Shi snorted coldly. "I don't think you're human. What's your main body?"
"I'm the Crown Prince of the Crimson Crow Clan of the East Sea. This Supreme Yang True Fire originally belongs to my clan. If you know what's good for you, take it out!"
The red-haired youth proudly revealed his background. A few more of his clansmen walked over and surrounded Song Shi.
Crimson flames danced all over their bodies, and their auras were powerful.
There were nearly six thousand steps here, and the pressure was already six times greater than those of the same level. Other than panting heavily, these demons did not seem to be under much pressure.
Song Shi narrowed his eyes. If not for the fact that he had six Golden Cores, the Diamond Spirit Body, and the Spirit Golden Core, he would definitely not be able to stand here.
It could be seen that these demons had a deep foundation. They were definitely not ordinary demons.
"Haha, that old monster is running around everywhere. Did he get into trouble?"
"Of all people, he provoked the Crimson Crow race. This race has the bloodline of the Golden Crow and is definitely a spirit bird race."
"Let's see if he'll give in. If he continues to be stubborn, he'll probably be burned to death on the spot."
Those who were unhappy with Song Shi laughed and teased him on the spot. They looked at Song Shi, who was surrounded by the seven Crimson Crows halfway up the mountain, with interest.
"Blood-Robed old ghost, don't fight them. The Crimson Crow race's demonic flames are notorious. You can't defend against them."
Outside the Immortal opportunity platform, Jiang Sha, who was floating in midair, reminded.
The Crimson Crow Crown Prince took a step forward and a wave of fire surged out, causing the air to distort violently.
Pure Yang True Fire appeared on Song Shi's body, isolating him from the heat waves. He said indifferently, "Spiritual bird? I've never eaten meat of your level. Do you think it's better to roast then eat you?"
Jiang Sha held his forehead. This fellow was still provoking him. There was no saving him today.
"You're the first human who dares to talk about me as food in front of me. Very good!"
He opened his mouth and spat out red flames that surged out, turning into a huge fire crow that screamed as it pounced at Song Shi.
Not only him, but the other six Crimson Crow prodigies also attacked at the same time. Instantly, the seven Fire Crows formed a huge fire net, leaving Song Shi with no way to escape.
They did not fight alone. That would be a waste of Nomological power. If they attacked together, the price of quickly surrounding and killing them would be minimal.
Faced with the surging heat waves, Song Shi used a portion of his Pure Yang True Fire to block them. His entire body turned into a sun.
The Crows' cries sounded one after another. The power of these Fire Crows was corrosive. After sticking to the Pure Yang True Fire, they began to tear and devour it in large mouthfuls.
"Your cultivation technique is not bad. You can actually cultivate such pure true fire. We're lucky!"
A fiery light flashed in Crimson Crow Prince's eyes as he opened his mouth and sucked. The Pure Yang True Fire on Song Shi's body turned into lines and was sucked into his mouth.
"It's delicious!"
He evaluated and began to swallow.
The other Crimson Crows did not stand on ceremony either. The Pure Yang True Fire released by Song Shi disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Song Shi's expression changed slightly. This was the first time he had encountered such a strange fire attribute expert. For a moment, he was really flustered.
He turned around and restrained the Pure Yang True Fire, but the surrounding Fire Crows' mouths were especially sharp. Coupled with the high temperature, they could easily break through his Defense and devour his Pure Yang Nomological power.
"I can only attack, I can't defend myself at all!"
Song Shi pondered and found a way to deal with it.
However, he was not in a hurry to counterattack. These fellows were so powerful. If he did not die a few times first, how could he be worthy of the provocation just now?
His dispirited state was seen by everyone, and they all shook their heads.
"This Blood-Robed old ghost is going to be burned alive." n0๐ฑ๐พ๐ ๐๐๐.๐0๐
"The Crimson Crow Clan is born with the ability to devour the Sun Essence Fire to cultivate. His true fire can be devoured by them and he actually foolishly gave them a chance."
"I think his Blood Refinement Sect's methods will be countered today as well. He'll be reduced to ashes on the spot and his soul will dissipate!"
Especially the Vajra Sect and Ye Family who had a grudge against the Blood-Robed old ghost, they were happier than anyone else at Song Shi's misfortune.
Jiang Sha could only sigh, "Run now, there is still a chance. As long as we get off the stage, they will not pursue us."
When Song Shi heard the discussions in the distance, he pursed his lips and pretended that he could not withstand it. He was swallowed by the fire crow and let out a miserable cry.
This time, the scream was real. It was very painful to be burned by the fire. His body, which was comparable to Dharma treasures, could not withstand it and melted on the spot.
"Be careful. Don't burn his storage ring."
The Crimson Crow Crown Prince had already treated Song Shi as a dead person and began to consider collecting the spoils of war.
Without Defense, Song Shi's body could not withstand the flames and soon turned into ashes.
When he saw Song Shi being burned to death, Crimson Crow Prince sneered. "In the face of fire, no matter what divine power you have, you will be reduced to ashes."
He waved his hand. "That's enough. Don't burn his storage ring. That will be too much of a loss."
While he was calculating the gains and losses, Song Shi, who had already turned into ashes, experienced a new method of death.
Being burned to death.
โฆ
"Dingโฆ congratulations on being burned to death by the Demon Fire and awakening the Water Spirit Root!"
"You died and your soul was destroyed. You absorbed power from death. The reward is super doubled. Freedom Attribute points 1,200!"
Dingโฆ congratulations on being killed by a new targetโฆ
A familiar notification appeared. The reward this time was new. It was a water spiritual root that Song Shi did not have!
He was a little stunned.
"Killed by Yin spirits to awaken the Fire Spirit Root, killed physically to awaken the Gold Spirit Root, burned to death to awaken the Water Spirit Root, the system adds the corresponding attribute roots for me to fight against whatever killed me. How effective."
Song Shi thought to himself. In that case, what should he do to achieve the Wood Spirit Root and Earth Spirit Root?
Swoosh!
Three seconds later, he appeared on the spot, unharmed.
"It hurt!"
He stared at the shocked Crimson Crow youth and grinned.
As he cultivated Yang cultivation techniques to begin with, he was usually not afraid of fire. This was the first time he had been burned to death.
Today, he experienced a new wave of death. He had not come in vain.
Due to the high level of death experienced, he had awakened a low-grade water spiritual root in one go. If he did it a few more times, he might be able to obtain a top-grade water spiritual root.
"Substitution Technique?"
Crimson Crow Crown Prince was bewildered. He had clearly watched as this fellow was burned to ashes, but in the end, he was still unscathed. Other than the substitute technique, he could not think of a way that Song Shi was able to avoid the siege.
Song Shi stared at the guy who was judged by the system as the last hit, "Your firepower was not enough. I'll show you how I make barbecue crows now."
"Do you think we can't kill you just because you have a substitute technique?"
Crimson Crow Crown Prince had a proud expression. "We only used an insignificant amount of Nomological power just now. With our strength, it's easy for us to burn you to death a hundred times. How many times can you dodge us?"
He signaled with his eyes, and the clansmen dispersed further and surrounded Song Shi.
This time, there was no way out.

"A three-hundred-and-sixty-degree barbecue pit with no blind spots. Not bad."
Song Shi was very satisfied. He was surrounded by the fire and died even faster.
It was just too painful. He had to find a way to isolate the pain.
Song Shi sealed a few acupuncture points and nerves to temporarily make himself lose consciousness so that he could better receive the tempering of the blazing fire.
Seeing that Song Shi's expression did not change, The Crimson Crow Crown Prince could not be sure what other trump cards this person had. His gaze shifted and he said, "Form the Golden Crow Burning Heavens Formation!"
The seven of them formed seals at the same time and released flames to form a huge fireball. Their powers condensed into one. Not only could they trap Song Shi, but they could also conserve their Nomological powers.
The fireball transformed into the shape of a golden crow. It was less than thirty feet tall and its power was very condensed. It was as if it had swallowed Song Shi into its stomach. The firepower was even more terrifying than before.
"This can be considered as entering a special furnace, I wonder how I will benefit from it."
Song Shi calmly looked at the red flames and thought about other things. He was not in a hurry at all.
"Burn!"
Crimson Crow Prince stared fixedly. This person still did not show any signs of struggling. He wanted to see how he could escape!
In the end, he only saw Song Shi put away his things and face death calmly.
The flames landed on his body. As most of the pain was cut off, Song Shi did not cry out from the heat this time.
He watched quietly as the protective golden light melted and the Array Formation destroyed the resistance of his Spirit Body. Subconsciously, he activated the second volume of the Imperishable Golden Body.
Yin Yang Chapter.
Mixed Yuan gave birth to Yin and Yang, and its power was limitless.
With the addition of the water spiritual root in his body, Song Shi felt that this chapter was much easier to comprehend and cultivate.
Previously, his Pure Yang Nomological power was too masculine. Now that he had both the water and fire origins and the Yin Yang Dao, the Yin and Yang energies in his body circulated faster and used the power of the demon fire to temper his body.
Red and white light appeared on his body, and he gained the power of Yin and Yang.
The light was quickly burned by the red demonic fire, but it didn't have much effect.
Under the even more powerful Burning Heaven Formation, Song Shi's persistence became shorter, and his entire body was quickly burned to charcoal.
He stared at the figure that had turned into ashes. In the next second, a living person replaced the charcoal.
"Here we go again!"
The Crimson Crow Crown Prince's expression was the same as the people who had faced Song Shi's resurrection previously. His expression was extremely ugly.
This person was like a phoenix undergoing nirvana. He had actually revived again!
Song Shi deliberately smiled provocatively, "Use more firepower. It's not enough!"
Crimson Crow Prince had a solemn expression. "What's the background of this person?"
"I heard those humans call him the Blood-Robed old ghost. He seems to be quite famous."
The clansmen beside him replied.
"I've never heard of him in our demon race. He's not that famous. It's just that his trump card is strange. He can resist the Burning Heaven Formation under our noses."
Crimson Crow's expression was disdainful and serious, "Again, this person has a secret that we must uncover."
The flames still enveloped Song Shi. Outsiders could not see the situation clearly. They only saw fire crows burning the same spot continuously.
After resurrecting, Song Shi's water spiritual root had increased by a level, and the water origin in his body had become purer.
Fire was yang, water was yin. Song Shi had some insights into the Yin Yang Dao. Under the pressure of external forces, the yin and yang energies in his body circulated faster. n0๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ท.๐0๐ช
The Diamond Spirit Body, which had already reached its limit, underwent changes under the calcification of the demonic flames. As the Yin-Yang Origin fused, it transformed from the inside.
After Song Shi was resurrected, he was burned to death again, and the cycle repeated endlessly.
After three times, his water spiritual root was upgraded to medium-grade. After ten times, Song Shi had a high-grade spiritual root and was constantly approaching the top-grade.
At the same time, his body underwent another transformation.
Water Spirit Root, Fire Spirit Root, Sword Body Spiritual Conduit, Diamond Spirit Body, and other Talents began to fuse under the refinement of the demonic flames under the operation of the Imperishable Golden Body.
It was as if he was refining Dharma treasures. Song Shi's flesh and blood became stronger and stronger as he was reborn. Gradually, a glow appeared and he became a living being.
When Song Shi used the demonic flames to increase his strength, the people watching the show had different expressions.
"What's going on? It's been so long, but he's still not dead?"
"With the demonic flames isolating us, we can't see the situation. However, judging from the expressions of Crimson Crow and the others, he is probably not dead."
"He's quite capable. He didn't even die despite all these."
It wasn't just the Qian forces. Cultivators from other countries were also paying attention to Song Shi.
In the past, there had been competitions for rewards in the Immortal Dao Meet, but there had never been anyone who could persist for such a long time without dying when their strength was at the same level.
They secretly understood that this Blood-Robed old ghost's life-saving ability was originally very strong. There must be a reason why he was temporarily not dead under the siege of the Crimson Crow race's demonic flames.
Those who were watching the show did not care about Song Shi's life. Their enemies wished that Song Shi would be reduced to ashes as soon as possible. There were also people who did not wish for Song Shi to die.
"Don't die."
Chen Yiling was a little anxious.
Her spiritual sword was still in this person's hands. If the Crimson Crow Race obtained Song Shi's belongings, how was she going to get her spiritual sword back?
Lu Youyou sensed her nervousness and said, "Ling'er, don't be anxious. He hasn't been forced to use his other methods. He definitely won't die."
"Although I don't like this old ghost, I still admire his life-saving ability."
Luo Chi nodded, "With his previous performance, he's probably still playing around with the Crimson Crows."
Chen Yiling could not help but recall the scene when the Ye Family cultivators attacked Song Shi. They did not manage to kill him no matter what and were even killed by Song Shi in return.
This scene was really similar to back then. Perhaps he was doing it on purpose.
As the Crimson Crow Clan's expression became uglier and uglier, they became in a dilemma.
Maintaining the Burning Heaven Formation required continuous consumption of Nomological power, but it still did not completely kill this person.
If they did not maintain it, coupled with all they had done till now, it was very likely that all their efforts would be in vain.
"Is he even human?!"
Crimson Crow Prince gritted his teeth. "Why are his methods even more demonic than the methods of us demons? The more he burns, the more powerful he looks!"
At that moment, Song Shi's entire body was circulating with red and white light, turning into a Taiji ball. His flesh and blood underwent some kind of transformation, and he was full of vitality.
Song Shi's water spiritual root was burned to the extreme. At the same time, under the guidance of the Imperishable Golden Body's Yin-Yang cultivation technique, his fused essence, qi, and spirit underwent a sublimation, and his flesh turned golden.
"Dingโฆ Congratulations on awakening a Pure Yang Spirit Body!"
Low-grade Pure Yang Spirit Body: The body is refined by the Pure Yang Demonic Flame. It is a Connate Spirit Body. Its flesh and blood contain Pure Yang True Fire. It is extremely Yang and firm. It can destroy all evil in the world.
Dingโฆ congratulations on awakening the Golden Divine Body!
Low-grade Golden Divine Body: The Diamond Spirit Body is formed by absorbing the Yin-Yang Origin. It is the first Postnatal Golden Divine Body. Its Physique can be increased by five times, and its combat strength is powerful.
Hearing the system notification, Song Shi was stunned.
This time, he had actually transformed two Physiques in one go!
The former focused on Nomological power. It was formed after he was tempered by the demonic flames and his flesh transformed into a Pure Yang Spirit Body. His Pure Yang True Fire had fused with his body.
As for the Diamond Spirit Body that had transformed into a divine body, it focused on defense and strength. His combat strength would increase even more now.
Moreover, because he had a Postnatal Divine Body, he could already be considered to have reached the Great Mastery realm and could directly erupt with powerful combat strength.
Moreover, this Physique seemed to be similar to the physique of the Ye Family. He did not know if it was the exact same.
Report chapter Comments
His new physique was even more fire-resistant, and the time it took to achieve destroy this body was clearly longer.
"Second Brother, he seems to have obtained some benefits. How is that possible?!"
"Could it be that he's using our True Fire to cultivate something?!"
"Why don't we stop? We've already expended a lot of Nomological power. It's affecting the official quest."
The few members of the Crimson Crow Race discussed in secret and began to feel that it was not worth wasting their energy on this strange human.
Seeing that the demons did not want to kill him, Song Shi hurriedly provoked them. "Why? Are you out of strength? Have you not eaten? Why don't I help kill one of you and roast you for extra food?"
The few of them were originally quite angry. After being provoked, they burned Song Shi to death three more times in anger.
"Not bad. Continue."
Song Shi encouraged the demons instead. His Pure Yang Spirit Body was improving faster than the Golden Divine Body. The true fire contained in his flesh and blood was increasing, and his Pure Yang Spirit Body was becoming stronger.
In the future, he did not need to release any Nomological power. His flesh and blood now carried the Pure Yang True Fire.
In theory, the Pure Yang True Fire had become his talent. It was a little like these demons' innate demonic flames.
As for the power of the Golden Divine Body, it focused on the bones and muscles. It had powerful explosive power and was different from the Pure Yang Spirit Body that focused on true fire.
However, with his divine body as the foundation, his Spirit Body improved very quickly. After dying a few times, he was about to reach mid-grade.
The stronger his Physique was, the better Song Shi's condition would be. Even if he did not take the initiative to resist, the time he would have to withstand the demonic flames would also increase.
Seeing that Song Shi was even more refreshed, the seven red crows felt like they had seen a ghost.
What was going on? Why was this person getting stronger the more times he was killed? Could it be that they were hallucinating?
No one could maintain their rationality while Song Shi was constantly reviving.
This was especially so when he saw that many people had already reached the same level one after another. Some had even stepped onto the six thousandth step and started to obtain second-grade rewards.
This made them even more anxious.
The Crimson Crow Crown Prince suppressed his anger. "There's something wrong with this person. We'll investigate his secrets in the future. Let's not waste Nomological power on him first. Retreat!"
He took the lead and retracted his Nomological powers. The array formation that sealed Song Shi slowly dissipated.
In the fireball, Song Shi, who was thinking of raising his Pure Yang Spirit Body to the top-grade as soon as possible, frowned, "Where's the fire?"
Through the slowly dissipating flames, he realized that the few of them were stopping.
The faces of the seven Crimson Crows darkened. They felt that they had provoked a mad dog. If they couldn't kill it, they would be in trouble.
"Human, I'll let you be smug for a few days. I'll deal with you after we leave this place."
The Crimson Crow Crown Prince muttered angrily. Even though he lost face, he did not hold back on his words.
"Did I let you go?"
Song Shi's words made The Crimson Crow Crown Prince and the others' eyes darken, but they still turned around and said, "Forget about him. Let's get a reward nearby and continue climbing."
"Fifth Brother, deal with him. If you really can't, just suppress him."
The Crimson Crow Crown Prince felt that he could no longer be entangled with this abnormal human, especially before figuring out how the other party could avoid their killing move.
They turned around and began to choose the appropriate treasures before entering the six thousandth step.
"If you guys don't do it, I'll do it."
Song Shi suddenly erupted like a ferocious dragon emerging from the sea and charged towards one of the Crimson Crows.
He ignored the Fifth Brother who was arranged by the Crimson Crow Crown Prince and attacked the other Crimson Crows.
This guy was ranked sixth and had chosen a bottle of fire attribute medicinal pills. Before he could open it to take a look, a violent attack came from behind.
"Be careful, Sixth Brother!"
The Fifth Brother did not expect this human to be able to unleash such a powerful attack. Under the pressure of six times the same level, his speed was still so fast. He did not have the time to defend himself at all.
Sixth Brother, who was also the sixth prince of the Crimson Crow Clan, had already reacted. The feathers on his clothes stood upside down, and red flames were released as he retaliated. Nomological power condensed into the Crimson Crow and let out a loud cry.
An even larger golden fire dragon attacked. It swallowed his Fire Crow in one bite and pushed him down more than a hundred steps.
Boom!
The power of the fire dragon hit the steps and only made them tremble slightly. As the runes blinked, the impact was quickly dispersed without causing any damage.
The Sixth Crimson Crow, who was inside, did not have such a strong defense. Its chest was caved in and its bones were broken. Blood kept flowing out of its mouth.
He was a little stunned. He was a dignified late-stage Golden Core cultivator as well as a demon cultivator. His body was powerful, so how could he be beaten to such a state by a human?
Before he could make the next step of his defense, Song Shi, who was standing at the Fire Dragon's reverse scale, stabbed out with his spear and pierced through him on the spot.
The Golden Spear was a Dharma treasure and could not unleash its power here. However, Song Shi had no problem using it as a normal weapon.
"Ah!" n0๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฌ๐.๐0๐
The sixth prince of the Crimson Crow Race screamed miserably. Crimson blood flowed out like magma, releasing a shocking temperature.
"Crown Prince, save me!"
He let out a miserable cry. If it was outside, he would not be in such a sorry state. However, here, his Defense Dharma treasures were useless and his heart was pierced by someone using primitive methods.
"Stop!"
Fifth Brother had arrived in front of Song Shi. A red dagger appeared in his hand, and he too used Dharma treasures as ordinary weapons to attack.
Without even looking, Song Shi grabbed Sixth Brother's neck. "I will start by roasting you!"
Crack!
Crimson Crow's Sixth Brother's neck was broken. The latter widened his eyes. The powerful vitality prevented him from dying. Instead, he instantly returned to his original form and pecked Song Shi's eyes with his sharp beak.
His clansmen also stabbed Song Shi's heart from behind. The two attacked from the front and back. One counterattacked before death, and the other went all out. Coupled with the help of the high temperature of the demonic flames, their attacks were very powerful.
Two bloody holes appeared on Song Shi's body. He lowered his head and looked at the dagger that had appeared in his chest, "You're next."
Then, he was killed by the Fifth Prince of the Crimson Crow Race and died on the spot.
At the same time, the sixth prince of the Crimson Crow Clan died. The two of them fell to the ground.
The Crimson Crow's original form was very big. It was more than ten meters long and covered many steps. There were flames jumping around.
Blood kept flowing out. Most of it belonged to the Crimson Crow. It was like a pool of lava that emitted a terrifyingly high temperature.
The Fifth Prince's expression was similar to the bottom of a pot. "Damn it, I was a step too late. I hope he doesn't come back to life. Otherwise, Sixth Brother will have died in vain!"
Everything went against his wishes. With a flash of light, Song Shi opened his eyes from the Crimson Crow Blood on the stairs. He grinned at the Fifth Brother, whose pupils had shrunk. "Are you surprised?"
"You must die!"
The Fifth Prince was already hysterical. He held his dagger and Dharma treasures and stabbed them at Song Shi's heart.
His dagger was refined from the claws of a deceased senior in the clan. It was exceptionally sharp and comparable to Numinous artifacts. In a fit of anger, its might was even stronger. With a puff, it pierced through his heart with great difficulty.
Song Shi smiled calmly, "Continue."
Then, his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground, dead.
His smile made the Fifth Prince's hair stand on end. This person was actually lying on the ground for him to kill. How was this possible?
Normal people would avoid him as much as possible. There was definitely something strange about this person's actions. From the beginning to the end, this person had been playing tricks on them.
"Crown Prince, whatโฆ what should I do?"
He looked at the other side blankly, and the latter snorted. "If I knew how to deal with it, would I still be standing still?"

"Come and kill me. What are you waiting for?"
Song Shi, who was lying on the ground, urged him. He might as well lie flat and do nothing to let the other party attack him freely to save time.
Fifth Brother hurriedly jumped away and cursed, "F*ck, what the hell is this?!"
"Is he immortal, or is it a special fake body? If it's a fake body, where is his real body?"
"I still haven't realized his secret. I really don't know how to deal with him."
"Should I seal him?"
"It consumes too much Nomological power."
The remaining Crimson Crows were very helpless. They clearly wanted to kill this fellow to take revenge, but they didn't know how.
They used their usual methods to kill this person but the other party kept resurrecting. In the end they did not know what they were killing.
Moreover, this person's combat strength was so terrifying that he killed one of their brothers with a flip of his hand. Other than the Crown Prince, the others were very afraid.
"What are you mumbling about? Come on, don't miss such a good opportunity to kill me."
Song Shi was still shouting like a vegetable seller in a market.
There were already quite a number of people nearby who were not blocked by the flames. When they saw this scene and heard Song Shi's arrogant words, they were dumbfounded.
"There's something wrong with this person. Retreat first!"
The Crimson Crow Crown Prince was not a fool. The more this person was like this, the more he felt that he could not continue. He immediately gathered his brothers and did not give him a chance.
Song Shi, who was lying on the ground, could only get up and pout. "How boring. I'll go and take a walk on the other side."
Currently, his cultivation was suppressed by the power of the mystic realm and he could only use an additional thirty percent of his power. With so many Crimson Crows gathered, it was really not good for him to kill them now.
Since he couldn't court death and couldn't kill anyone, Song Shi turned around and left, leaving behind the Crimson Crow geniuses who gritted their teeth but couldn't do anything to him.
"Damn it, this bastard just left like that?"
"If not for the pressure here, I really want to capture him and torture him."
"This guy will definitely be able to enter the mystic realm. When the time comes, I'll catch him and beat him up. Even if I don't kill him, I'll toy with him!"
The few demons were so angry that they bared their teeth. Usually, it was their Crimson Crow race who played tricks on others. When had they ever been played like a fool?
Those who were familiar with Song Shi revealed thoughtful expressions.
Thinking of how the Blood-Robed old ghost switched to a fire attribute cultivation technique after possessing someone else, it was probably related to this.
This way, he might really not have any weaknesses. It would be even more difficult to kill him.
Vajra Sect, Ye Family and the others looked increasingly fearful. They temporarily retracted the killing intent in their hearts and did not dare to attack rashly.
โฆ
The Immortal opportunity platform was a thousand meters tall, like a mountain. Without the power of the mystic realm, it was not difficult for Golden Core cultivators to fly over it.
Now, the people on it could only walk. They could not fly near the Immortal opportunity platform. Other than climbing, they could not approach it. Therefore, they did not know much about what was happening with Song Shi on the other three sides of the platform, especially on the back, which was relatively far away from him.
As for those who knew the situation, it was as if they were avoiding the God of Plagues. They were unwilling to clash with Song Shi and did not even give him a chance to come near them.
Great Qian was originally on the east side of the stairs. When Song Shi turned to the west, no one was paying attention to him anymore.
"The people here don't know me yet. There's a chance to cause trouble here."
Song Shi was secretly delighted. He deliberately put his hands behind his back and raised his head. He looked like he was asking for a beating, attracting a lot of attention.
However, those who had reached this stage were all doing their best to deal with the pressure. No one attacked him just because they didn't like him.
Song Shi walked around arrogantly. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he could only erupt with his cultivation and speed up.
Soon, he crossed seven thousandth steps. There were very few people at this level. Those who didn't care at first took a few more glances and realized that they didn't know him.
"Which faction is this genius from?"
Just as someone asked, someone in the distance said fearfully, "Everyone, it's best if you don't provoke him. This is the undead monster, the Blood-Robed old ghost. The Crimson Crow race has just suffered at his hands."
When Song Shi heard this, he looked up angrily and said, "What are you gossiping about? Are you deliberately trying to trick others?"
The latter's face darkened. "Do you think that Sword Nation is as chaotic as your country and needs to eliminate dissidents by scamming others?"
Song Shi was exasperated. "It's one thing to gossip, but don't give me any nicknames. When did I not die? Don't spread rumors. I can be killed. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try!"
Many people who were not familiar with Song Shi rolled their eyes when they heard this.
Was this even something normal people would say? He even asked someone to give killing him a try. Does he really think he won't die? n0๐๐๐๐ข๐๐.๐0๐
"Indeed, there's no need to exaggerate. This person only cultivates some life-saving spells and divine powers. How would a group of demons from the Crimson Crow race know about these? They were just bewitched by him!"
Some people did not care and did not take Song Shi seriously.
"I just asked around. This Blood-Robed old ghost was originally from the Blood Spirit Sect's branch, the Blood Transformation Sect. Those guys' life-saving methods are indeed powerful. This person seems to have mastered some strange methods."
Some people didn't believe it, while others echoed opposite sentiments.
Song Shi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, some people did not see what happened just now with their own eyes, so they were unwilling to believe his situation.
"Everybody, I will give you a chance to snatch my treasure."
He deliberately took out the golden Spear and smashed it on the steps as a walking stick.
"This person's Spear seems to be the Ye Family's Numinous artifacts. Could he be a genius of the Ye Family?"
"The Ye Family is in the east. Why did you come to the west?"
"You guys are ignorant. The Ye Family's golden Spear has already been snatched away by the Heavenly Ghost Sect. Even the patriarch has been killed."
A Spear immediately attracted a lot of discussion. The nearby geniuses revealed fearful expressions. They knew that Song Shi was not simple.
To be able to come this far and even hold Numinous artifacts, how could he be an ordinary person?
For a moment, not only did no one come to snatch it, the number of people approaching him also decreased.
Song Shi, who had attracted the opposite effect, was speechless. "Sigh, this environment is not suitable for pretending to be weak. It's better to focus on climbing the stairs."
He really couldn't find anyone to fight him in the end. He hence decided not to deliberately find trouble with others and started to climb seriously.
"Brother, you are born with a sword body. Why do you know how to use Spear Dharma treasures?"
A green-robed man spoke.
"There are many Dharma treasures. It's not too much to use one as a walking stick, right?"
Song Shi squinted and looked like he was asking for a beating.
The green-robed man was stunned. He then smiled and said, "Brother, you're really interesting. How should I address you? I'm He Changqing."
"Song Shi."
Song Shi said indifferently, "You can also call me Blood-Robed old ghost. Forget about Chen Ergou. It's too old-fashioned."
"I heard someone call you an undying demon. I think your life-saving methods are very powerful. I like life-saving immortality techniques the most. I wonder if you can teach me when you're free?"
The green-robed man spoke frankly.
The people following behind were rather surprised.
It was rare for Sword King Evergreen, the number one Golden Core sword cultivator in Sword Nation, to be so polite to this person.
"Life-saving methods?"
Song Shi took another look at this person, "Looks like you're very afraid of death?"
"Life is precious. I want to live a few more years. Only then will I have more chances to become an immortal."
He Changqing nodded.
"That makes sense. Unfortunately, you won't be able to learn my methods."
Song Shi shook his head. "It's better to break through faster so that your lifespan can't catch up to your breakthrough speed."

246 Nirvana Pill
"I understand this logic, but not many people can do it."
He Changqing sighed. "I can't help but feel melancholic as I approach old age."
Song Shi was speechless. Was this fellow acting like this?
A forty-year-old Golden Core cultivator would be a prodigy no matter where he was. He has only spent less than ten percent of his lifespan, and he was still lamenting that he was old?
He chuckled, "You're indeed a little older. I have yet to reach your age and still can't feel your troubles."
The people nearby rolled their eyes when they heard this. These two people were too much. One was actually more exaggerated than the other.
He Changqing looked at Song Shi seriously. "Then I should call you Brother Song. I wonder what your goal of this trip is. Let me see if we have any shared interest."
"I haven't decided yet. But I can consider if I know what Brother He's goal is."
Song Shi knew that this guy was testing him with words, so he did not stand on ceremony.
"The Sword Dao inheritance is the top few supreme treasures."
He Changqing did not hide his motive. After all Song Shi could find out about this matter just asking around. It was just that the other party was not from Sword Nation and did not know much.
"Oh, then I'm a little interested."
Song Shi originally did not have any concept of what the top treasures here were. He came here to make up the numbers and the Heavenly Ghost Sect did not expect him to be able to go to the Immortal opportunity platform.
"Then we can only rely on our own abilities."
He Changqing smiled lightly and stood up straight. In an instant, to show off his ability, his Sword Qi soared into the sky.
Song Shi felt that the sword energy condensed in his body was about to be triggered and rush out uncontrollably.
He frowned and suppressed his sword qi. He stared at He Changqing. "So Brother He also has the Sword Body Spiritual Conduit."
"No, I do have some Talent, but it's not the Sword Body Spiritual Conduit. It's the Connate Sword Body."
He Changqing smiled. "I was born with a sword body. I cultivated Qi Refinement at the age of three, comprehended sword intent at the age of five, reached the Foundation Establishment realm at the age of twelve, and formed the core at the age of twenty three. I'm focused on the sword. I'm not as rich as Brother Song."
The corners of Song Shi's mouth twitched. This guy seriously said that he was ordinary when he was also a talent.
He retorted, "It doesn't hurt to have more skills. There's no harm in learning more."
He Changqing walked steadily towards the nine thousandth steps.
Song Shi frowned. Was he arguing with him about his Dao?
Sensing that the pressure on the stairs was close to the limit of his body, he decisively shut his mouth and began to climb with all his might.
Especially when they were near the nine thousandth steps, the pressure on their bodies was almost ten times greater. Song Shi looked around. Other than He Changqing, only a masked woman in a green dress and a short-haired muscular man were nearby.
The veiled woman's eyes were lively, and her brows were like a painting. A green whirlwind coiled around her graceful body, and her body trembled slightly. Every step she took was rather difficult.
The short-haired man was muscular and wore animal skins. He was dressed like a barbarian, and his qi and blood were like that of a dragon or a tiger. He panted violently, and bean-sized beads of sweat dripped down the steps without stopping.
He Changqing's entire body was like a sword, slightly trembling as he withstood the pressure.
The six Golden Cores in Song Shi's body lit up. He activated all his Nomological powers, but it was still not enough.
If not for the fact that he had been burned to death by the Crimson Crow Clan many times and his Physique had improved, Song Shi would probably have found it difficult to walk here with his previous standards.
Thankfully, his body had sentient sword Qi and Pure Yang True Fire. His Golden Divine Body was also stronger than his Diamond Spirit Body, allowing him to continue walking normally here. His speed was even faster than the other three paragons.
The three of them looked at Song Shi in surprise and secretly sized up his situation. They realized that Song Shi had many Talents and was exceptionally shocking.
"Twenty? Impossible."
The short-haired man, who had eavesdropped on Song Shi and He Changqing's conversation, comforted himself.
He Changqing did not believe that Song Shi was so capable at such a young age. He sighed. "Everyone in the world is hypocritical. I'm the only one who's telling the truth."
Song Shi pursed his lips and quickened his pace. He deliberately walked towards the ball of light that contained sword intent.
He Changqing panicked and said, "Brother Song, slow down. The consumption in front is very high."
"My Nomological power is deep."
Song Shi did not care. He did not care about the consumption at all, nor did he control his speed to recover. n0๐ฃ๐พ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐.๐ช0๐
If he did not have enough Nomological power, he could just think of a way to die once.
"Freak!"
The short-haired man complained. He was so tired that he was out of breath. It was really unreasonable for this guy to be able to accelerate.
Everyone was at the Golden Core realm and he was also a top paragon. Was there such a huge difference?
Song Shi rushed to the 8,999th step in one go.
They were less than one hundred meters away from the finish line and had walked ninety percent of the way.
It was noon, and the sun was scorching hot. The piercing sunlight shone down from the sky. When he turned around, he saw that less than ten percent of the people who had entered the second-grade reward area were left.
There were only a few dozen balls of light near the steps. He let out a breath and bent his body slightly. He felt like he was pressing down on a mountain.
This mountain was not on his back, but in all directions. The sun was clearly shining brightly, but he felt like he was being suppressed in the deep sea. It was difficult for him to even breathe.
In reality, the force was akin to ten ordinary mid-stage Golden Core cultivators suppressing him with all their might at any time. His essence, energy, and spirit could not escape.
"I'm almost at my limit."
Song Shi sighed. His Nomological power, stamina, and even Spirit were being consumed ten times, or even more.
Even top geniuses like He Changqing began to stop and recover. Otherwise, once his Nomological power would be exhausted, he would be suppressed to the ground like a dead dog and could not move at all. His life might even be in danger.
He panted as he sized up the balls of light in the sky. Each of them was brighter than the sun, making him a little dizzy.
Nomological power condensed in his eyes, and with a golden flash, Song Shi prepared to take the reward.
A moment later, his gaze landed on a ball of light in the south. He walked sideways and turned around, arriving at the spot where the red flames were released.
The fire looked like a phoenix, and there were phoenix cries coming from it. When Song Shi's eyes teared up, he saw through the fire and saw its true form. It was a vermillion pill.
"What kind of miracle pill is this? It actually formed a phoenix phenomenon, as if it has a life of its own."
Song Shi was curious. He raised his hand and was about to take it off when a voice sounded behind him.
"Can you give up the Nirvana Elixir? I'm willing to pay the price."
Perhaps because she knew of his abilities, she wasn't as rude as the Crimson Crow Crown Prince.
"Sure enough, the good stuff has been targeted."
Song Shi turned around and his pupils dilated.
He saw a beautiful woman. Although this woman was also masked like the tall woman in the green dress, she was wearing hot clothes, revealing her small waist. Her butt was perky and had an alluring curve. Her chest was also very voluptuous, and her sexy collarbones were covered in sweat as they slowly slid down into her cleavage.
This woman's skin was smooth and red, and her eyes were as gentle as fire. There was fire in her eyes, which was both enchanting and dignified. It was even more attractive.
He sized up the pill for a moment before saying, "Nirvana Pill?"
"That's right. It's a Nirvana Pill refined from Phoenix blood essence. It's a high-grade spirit pill. If a severely injured person consumes it, they can undergo nirvana rebirth. However, I need the Phoenix blood essence contained in it more."
The fiery woman explained, her beautiful eyes shining. "You seem to have the ability to not die. This pill is inferior to the Breaking Essence Pill in the north. That pill can directly help you advance a major realm."
"Nirvana Rebirthโฆ"
When Song Shi heard this, he revealed a look of disdain, "It's indeed useless. The medicinal effects are all used on healing. It's a waste."

He looked at the hot beauty. "But this thing is also a supreme treasure. I don't mind taking it. If you want it, you have to pay the price."
"Tell me."
The fiery woman heaved a sigh of relief. She had almost no strength to fight here. If the other party really took it, she could not do anything for the time being.
"It's not a problem to give it to you. I only have one request. If there's a chance, burn me to death."
Song Shi's words were shocking.
He thought about it and wanted to improve his Pure Yang Spirit Body. It was too random to just wait to be killed. He might as well find someone to help.
He could still die like this. At most, he wouldn't get a lucky draw.
The fiery women was taken aback. This was the first time she had ever heard someone make such a request. She gave him a strange look. "Like how the Crimson Crows burned you?"
"That's right. Just like that. The fiercer the firepower, the better."
Song Shi nodded. "This shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
She answered in a daze, "No problem. I'll help you after the Immortal Dao Conference is over. How about that?"
"It's yours. Now where's the other pill you mentioned?"
Song Shi retracted his hand.
"There."
It wasn't until Song Shi left that she was sure that the man wasn't joking.
"What a freak. He is deliberately looking to die."
She smiled helplessly and raised her Nomological power. She increased her strength and walked towards the Nirvana Pill.
Song Shi circled around near the nine thousandth step and obtained a green spirit pill.
This pill contained majestic energy and carried a unique charm. The key was that this pill was also of the fire attribute and was mainly used to increase one's cultivation.
"I'll enter the mystic realm and find an opportunity to absorb and refine it."
Song Shi looked at the rewards in the last area.
There were two stages.
There were more than thirty treasures in the area between the nine thousandth steps and the finish line.
He did not recognize most of them. From the fluctuations, he could tell that they were all supreme treasures in the world.
His Nomological power was almost depleted, so he had no choice but to stop for the time being. If he watched any longer, he would die again.
"In the past ten thousand years, fewer people have obtained supreme treasures than the treasures placed here. They have already accumulated so much. Any one of them is priceless."
A short and strong young man sat on the steps, holding a drop of blood in his hand. This blood was completely blue and was like a gem. It emitted a dazzling light and formed a lively black tortoise.
"Even the Black Tortoise Blood Essence is ranked at the periphery."
Song Shi was deep in thought. "Just now, a hot woman asked for something related to the Phoenix. You have the Black Tortoise blood essence. It seems that many of the treasures here are demon beast materials."
"What demon? If you want to call it a holy beast, these existences disappeared in the ancient times and left this world. I think it's really unwise for you to go and ask for a pill to increase your cultivation."
The young man retorted, "There's still some ancient sacred beast blood essence here. You can use it to absorb it. Essence Breaking Pills can increase your cultivation level for a short period of time, but the sacred beast blood can help you on your future cultivation path."
"Forget it. I'm not interested in adding some beast bloodline power to my bloodline."
Song Shi was not interested when he heard that. His physique was not bad either. His Pure Yang Spirit Body, Sword Body Spiritual Conduit, and Golden Divine Body had nothing to do with animals. They were still very strong.
The young man was speechless. "Sacred beasts are born from heaven and earth. If you fuse with some of the bloodline power of the sacred beasts, your growth will be even higher than the so-called divine body. You really don't have to be biased."
He advised, "The upper limit of the potential of the so-called divine body in this world is actually the Soul Transformation realm. It only has the word 'God'. You can't transcend into the sage realm and fuse with the Mahayana realm."
"We'll see. Maybe I'll eat holy beasts as food in the future."
Song Shi did not think much of it. The so-called holy beasts were existences above the Soul Transformation realm. In the past, this world was at its peak. Later on, they all left for the three worlds.
When he went to the Upper Realm in the future, he would definitely be able to eat holy beast meat.
"You really have low standards. You're still at the Golden Core realm, yet you dare to say such things."
The young man gave up. "But you're not a bad person. The reason you said that should be because those crows provoked you."
"You're not bad either. Your words are for my own good." Song Shi nodded. This person should be the Crown Prince of the Water Nation. Perhaps it was because of his water attribute, but his personality was quite gentle.
It was much better than that guy from Sword Nation who liked to play pretend.
"I'm just a bit of a nag."
The young man smiled. "Xuan Buzheng from the Water country."
"Bu Zheng? Good name."
Song Shi praised, "My name is Normal. My surname is Song and my name is Shi. Shi for rock."
"The stone can be preserved for hundreds of millions of years. It's quite good."
Xuan Buzheng smiled politely.
Upon hearing that, Song Shi really felt that his name was immortal, but it was still very ordinary.
"You can continue to rest. I'll go take a look at the other seats."
Song Shi was prepared to find a place with fewer people to sever his meridians and die. Otherwise, he would not be able to rush to the top.
"There's a Longevity Pill over there that can extend one's lifespan by a thousand years. Brother Song can consider it."
Xuan Buzheng pointed at a green elixir that was on the 9,800th level. To a certain extent, it was more precious than the Black Tortoise's blood essence.
"Not interested."
Song Shi did not even look at it. He did not need it at all.
A look of admiration appeared on Xuan Buzheng's face. As expected, he had not misjudged this person. He was unique and definitely not simple.
After encountering two top geniuses with good attitudes, Song Shi was even more embarrassed to cause trouble. While he still had some strength, he finished reading the situation of the treasure.
Now, those near the nine thousandth steps had basically stopped to rest and use various methods to recover their strength. n0๐ฝ๐พ๐๐๐ฎ๐.๐0๐
Someone opened his mouth and absorbed the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth like a whale.
Some people took out pills and swallowed them, or took high-grade spirit stones to absorb.
Song Shi was the only one wandering around. No matter who it was, they were all speechless.
However, no one mocked him this time.
There was probably only one person in history who could walk horizontally under ten times the pressure at the nine thousandth steps.
Others might have the strength, but no one would be stupid enough to do such a thing.
"Ah!"
A human genius halfway up the mountain screamed. When Song Shi looked over, only one of his feet was exposed. The other part had already entered the snake's mouth.
It was a fierce black snake with a human body and a snake head. It was eating people to replenish its strength.
Song Shi was stunned. This demon's restoration method was a little fierce.
The faction of the unlucky genius was furious and cursed.
"Shut up, demon. How dare you eat the core disciple of our Jade Cloud Sect!"
"Demons, don't go overboard. Aren't you afraid of angering everyone by eating people on the Immortal opportunity platform?"
"Demon Snake, continue. When you come out, you will definitely die."
Facing the threat, the black snake's cold eyes carried a sinister smile. It did not stop. Instead, its throat rolled and it swallowed the entire person.
He licked his lips. "The taste of human geniuses is really good. When I come out of the mystic realm and break through, you guys have no right to kill me."
"Hehe, it's just a few people. Who starves themselves when they are hungry?"
A powerhouse from the demon race sneered. Song Shi took a look and saw that it was a dark-faced elder. He was probably the elder of the black snake.
At the side, he caught a glimpse of a young woman in white. Her eyes were vertical and her brows were extremely demonic. Her expression looked a little familiar.
A white snake immediately jumped out of Song Shi's memory, and he said in surprise, "White Snake Demon Venerable, she's here too. That's great."
The latter sensed his gaze and looked over with a swoosh. Her gaze was like lightning and carried cold killing intent. It was obvious that she had already targeted him.

Song Shi was even happier. It seemed that this Demon Venerable wanted to kill him. He was looking forward to it.
In the outside world.
Seeing the dark-skinned old man speak, the Jade Cloud Sect gritted their teeth.
This old man was one of the two Demon Venerables of the Snake Clan. His true form was a Black Water Snake. With the other party backing him up, they were really not his match.
"Snake Clan, this is the territory of the human race. Don't go overboard."
The leader of the Wind Nation spoke slowly. His strength could not compare to the Black Snake Demon Venerable, but he was one of the Human Sovereigns. His words carried a lot of weight.
Demon Venerable Black Snake snorted and did not say anything else.
A few demons that wanted to eat humans were intimidated. They were afraid and did not act recklessly again.
The entire Immortal opportunity platform fell silent. Everyone had reached their limit. After this restoration, it would be the last wave of attacks.
Song Shi looked at Chen Yiling and the rest.
Lu Youyou reached the 8,600th step, Luochi reached the 8,800th step, and Chen Yiling actually reached the nine thousandth step after one hundred steps.
On the side of Great Qian, other than the crown prince who had arrived at the nine thousandth step, there were two men in black, a man and a woman. They seemed to be from the Sky Demon Cult.
There was no one from the Heavenly Corpse Sect. That was because most zombies had a lifespan of more than two hundred years.
He continued to walk up more than ten steps. After his Nomological power was exhausted, he sat cross-legged on the ground and circulated the Bloodseeker Technique, releasing a circle of blood light before severing his meridians.
A few seconds later, the exhausted Song Shi's eyes lit up and he recovered completely.
"I will go to the finish line and wait for these guys."
Song Shi formed a seal and began to mobilize all his strength.
When he refreshed his status, the cultivators and demons from all directions also had time to retract their gazes and discuss who was most likely to be the first to reach the summit.
"It seems that the Crown Princess of the Nine Nations has a deeper foundation. After all, with the support of the royal family, the other factions are slightly inferior."
"So what if she's the crown prince's daughter? In the past, there have never been more than five people who reached the top. I don't think there will be many this time."
"Look, the Qian Nation's crown prince's dragon qi is boundless. He should be the one with the highest chance of becoming the first person to reach the top."
"It's hard to say. The Li Nation's Crown Princess and the Southern Barbarian Clan's Young Clan Leader are not simple either."
"The demons are not bad this time. We have to be careful that they won't steal our resources."
"Have you forgotten that Blood-Robed old ghost of the Heavenly Ghost Sect? He has always been in the lead."
"Him? I think he's doing it on purpose. He won't be able to charge forward anymore."
In the past hundred years, most of the top geniuses of the continent had appeared in front of everyone. Now that they were going to use a special method to rank them, many people were even more excited than the geniuses themselves.
Boom!
Suddenly, a powerful Nomological power surged through the Void, startling the people who were chatting leisurely. They looked in a certain direction in surprise.
Song Shi's skin and bones were golden, and his entire body was covered in golden flames. Amidst the flames, there was even sword qi rampaging. Red patterns appeared between his brows.
He had activated the power of Hiderigami's contract.
This contract was a little insufficient now. In the past, it could double his strength. Now, the increase was less than seventy percent, but it was completely enough.
Bang bang!
Song Shi stood up and stepped firmly on the steps. He endured more than ten times the pressure and walked past the steps.
The humans and demons who were recovering looked over.
"He recovered so quickly?"
"I've just started. It'll take at least half a day. How did he do it?"
"I remember he was just walking around."
The geniuses present were all a little shocked. They were curious how this person had the strength to erupt again in such a short period of time.
The crowd watched the show with rapt interest.
"Heavens, is he going to be the first to reach the top?"
"Dark horse, this person has really become a dark horse!"
"If he can do it, the royal families of the various countries will lose face."
The crowd was in an uproar. Many of them jumped up on the spot, their faces pale with shock.
"This guy!"
Jiang Sha's mouth widened subconsciously. The Blood-Robed old ghost had already shocked him several times today, but he still could not calm down.
Ever since he came to participate in the conference, he had never thought that this person would be able to achieve anything. He was more interested in his strength and hoped to take care of Lu Youyou and the others.
Initially, he had asked this fellow to come over and assist. However, he did not expect this old ghost to be able to do this. In the entire history of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, it seemed that only the founder of the sect had done this before.
Which one of these people wasn't at the top of the world, suppressing all the heroes?
Chen Yiling's beautiful eyes lit up, "He can still walk. So the confidence he showed in the past is real."
"Damn it, this guy really got it."
Luo Chi complained, but he still said in admiration, "I can't go against this guy in the future. If I can't win now, I can't win in the future even more."
Lu Youyou had mixed feelings. When she was bullied by this man for the first time, she swore to take revenge. She felt that with her talent, she would be able to get back at him sooner or later.
However, each performance proved that the gap between them had not decreased and was still widening.
At this moment, the other party's actions of reaching the top had already shown that this man's foundation had surpassed hers.
Judging from this guy's other abilities, she probably wouldn't be able to catch up to him in this lifetime. What should she do?
The various geniuses revealed grave expressions. Before they came, they thought that their opponent would be someone of the same race. In the end, this kind of beast would jump out and surpass them in terms of foundation.
The Immortal opportunity platform tested one's foundation, not their cultivation level.
Whoever had a deep foundation would be the first to reach the top. In the past, there were Foundation Establishment cultivators among the people who reached the top.
Song Shi's enemies were panicking.
The more solid his performance was, the greater the threat he would pose to his enemies in the future.
"I have to kill him as soon as possible!"
The Ye Family's patriarch was extremely solemn.
Not only were the prodigies and the various factions afraid.
The various kings, Demon Venerables, and other powerhouses also began to look at Song Shi seriously for the first time.
According to tradition, those who could reach the top of the Immortal opportunity platform, as long as they did not die, could basically grow to their level or even surpass them.
In other words, this person had the potential to reach the Soul Transformation realm in the future and had a high chance of ascending to the Upper Realm.
One of the kings looked at the leader of the Qian Nation, whose expression was not too good, and said, "This person is from the Qian Nation. Regardless of whether it's the Heavenly Ghost Sect he's currently in or the Blood Refinement Sect he was previously in, they were all exterminated by you guys, right?"
The Qian Nation's ruler's gaze was cold. "It's normal for a person who has been reborn through possession to have a deeper foundation. After all, he spent so much time cultivating."
"That's true. Now that he has a deep foundation, it doesn't mean that he'll still be the same in the next realm. Without top-notch inheritances and resources, he'll slowly fade into the crowd."
The other king agreed deeply. He retracted his gaze and stopped paying attention.
At the 9,900th step of the Immortal opportunity platform, Song Shi was sweating profusely, his back was clearly bent from the pressure.
His gaze fell on a nearby ball of light. After walking another 30 steps, he grabbed a ball of light.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The Void shook, and an ancient scroll descended from the sky. After opening it, it was a painting of mountains and rivers. There were immortals walking in the air, and every step they took was a mountain.
The painting contained a mystical meaning. Song Shi felt a powerful divine power when he saw it.
Song Shi did not have much time to look at it. He put away the scroll and gritted his teeth as he climbed the last part. n0๐ฃ๐พ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐.๐ช0๐
Every step was slower than the last. Song Shi really wanted to walk on his stomach, but in the end, he held himself back. It took him nearly fifteen minutes to complete the last step.

249 Illusionary Scroll
The moment the last step landed, a colorful light bloomed in the sky at the end and landed on Song Shi's body. Wisps of pure spiritual rain dripped down.
In just one thousand steps, Song Shi's essence, energy, and spirit had already been greatly exhausted. Now, it was as if he had encountered a rain after a long drought. His eyes lit up slightly as he opened his mouth and inhaled.
The colorful spiritual rain in the air was completely swallowed by him. After the spiritual rain entered his body, it quickly spread. Not only could it nourish his flesh and meridians, but it was also especially easy to refine.
There was even a light energy that made him feel refreshed and he started to recover his physical state.
Song Shi hurriedly sat cross-legged and digested the spiritual rain with all his might. Soon, his essence, energy, and spirit were restored. Even his cultivation level had improved further. He was not far from breaking through to the late stage.
Soon, Song Shi opened his eyes and felt relaxed.
Now that he was sitting cross-legged on the mountain peak, he could look down on all directions.
While he was enjoying the benefits, the recovery speed of the top geniuses was still not as fast as his. At this moment, they were still accumulating their strength to continue moving.
His gaze fell on the vortex and the nine supreme treasures, then he got up to observe.
The first thing that attracted him was a rusty Bronze Sword. It looked dilapidated and carried an ancient sword intent.
This sword intent was more high-end than any sword intent he had seen. It was extraordinary and not something humans could possess. It was very similar to the rules of heaven and earth.
"This is what the Play Pretend King wants, right?"
Song Shi guessed and casually gave He Changqing the nickname of the Play Pretend King.
In any case, all Golden Core cultivators could be called kings. In Song Shi's opinions the nickname, Play Pretend King was more suitable for the other party than the Sword King.
He looked away and saw a jade pendant floating in the sky. It was completely green and was engraved with ancient silver runes. It carried a floating aura.
"What kind of jade pendant is this? Is it worth putting it here?"
Song Shi was stunned. On a closer look, the words "Langya" were written on it. He could not help but think of the tokens taken out by the nine kings when they opened the mystic realm. He did not know if they were of the same type.
If that was true, the status symbol brought by this thing would be more important than the actual benefits.
Seeing that there were no additional benefits, Song Shi looked at the third ball of light.
It was a golden ancient book. At first glance, Song Shi felt that the material was very similar to the Imperishable Golden Body.
"Ancient Cultivation Method?"
"A body tempering technique doesn't sound as powerful as the Imperishable Golden Body. Let's not consider it first."
Song Shi continued to skip it, but the fourth ball of light was filled with fog. It was like a dream as it kept changing.
Curious, he reached out to check the information. In the end, the latter turned into a stream of air and entered his mind.
"Damn, I haven't agreed yet."
Song Shi really wanted to refuse, but this fog was of a higher level than him and forcefully rushed into his sea of consciousness.
He immediately froze on the spot. In his spiritual world, a fog rolled and turned into a phantom.
"How many years has it been? Finally, someone is willing to cultivate the inheritance I left here. I hope you can pass down my life's work and bring it to greater heights."
The phantom did not seem to have much strength. After saying that, it looked like it was dissipating.
Song Shi appeared in the mental world and said speechlessly, "I'm not willing. You forced your way into my head."
"Cough, there are too few top geniuses who cultivates the Dao of Illusion. I can't wait any longer. Kid, I think you're very talented. I'll leave the Illusionary Scroll to you. Don't disappoint me."
The phantom smiled awkwardly and dissipated completely with a puff. It was obvious that it was about to collapse.
In the fog, psychedelic words appeared one after another. They were like fog that was unpredictable and filled with changes. At the beginning, there were two words: Illusionary Scroll.
"I'm the first person since ancient times to become a Saint through the Dao of illusions. There's no path ahead. I've opened a path. I hope that those who come later will follow this path and surpass me."
After reading the introduction, there was content about illusion cultivation.
Song Shi said helplessly, "Who the hell wants to cultivate illusions? However, you've already ran into my mind and imprinted it in my memory. It would be a waste not to cultivate it."
He gloomily accepted all the content. After absorbing the information, he changed his opinion.
The person who left this thing behind was actually an expert who had surpassed the Soul Transformation realm in the ancient era. Moreover, he was an illusionist.
From the information left behind by this person, it seemed that the other party could easily make the living beings of a country fall into an illusion with a thought back then. He could also easily use a divine power like Yellow Dreams to make people spend their entire lives in a dream.
Most importantly, this person was a Great Master of the Dao of Illusion. He could be considered the peak of illusionists in the Ancient world.
Therefore, the illusion technique left behind by the other party was in essence quite powerful. It could construct various illusions and cause the enemy to die unknowingly.
It could be said that this was a path that focused on the cultivation of Spiritual strength. It was also because it placed too much emphasis on Spiritual strength and neglected other aspects that it was easy for illusionists to find it difficult to break through to a high realm.
Old Man Nightmare was a similar existence on the same Dao path, he could make people kill each other in nightmares. They wouldn't even know how they died.
However, Old Man Nightmare was also a person who was stuck at the Golden Core realm and could not break through. He was of the same generation as Jiang Sha and the others. Although their talent and nature of cultivation were similar, their cultivation levels were one realm apart.
"It's fine to cultivate this I guess, illusions will prevent me from experiencing the true feeling when courting death."
Song Shi thought of the first few times when he intentionally sent himself to court death and tortured the enemy into thinking that they were hallucinating. He felt that illusion techniques could be very helpful.
He opened his eyes again. His eyes, which were originally bright as fire, were now covered in a layer of fog. They looked mysterious and unfathomable, making it difficult to see through his thoughts.
Looking at the other eight treasures, Song Shi cursed, "F*ck, there are still five items that I haven't seen yet, but now I can't choose anymore."
Song Shi was a little unhappy. n0๐ฑ๐ข๐๐ข๐ฎ๐ท.๐0๐
Among the four items he had already seen, he was actually more interested in things related to sword cultivation.
At least, there was no need to be conflicted.
Song Shi could not help but look at the other five items.
The next one was a piece of pitch-black wood. He didn't recognize what it was, so he wasn't interested for the time being.
The silver bottle had the power of lightning pulsating nearby. It should be a Thunder treasure. He didn't really need it.
The purple fruit was shaped like a heart. This was the only medicinal herb among the few things. He did not recognize it, but from the spiritual qi it emitted, it was definitely not simple.
The remaining two were both Dharma treasures and were at the level of Numinous artifacts. One was a wooden bowl covered in runes, while the other was a medicinal cauldron engraved with patterns of plants.
He estimated that this medicinal cauldron should have the inheritance of an ancient cultivator. It was most likely related to refining medicine.
"Have these been deliberately left behind by the various large factions from the ancient times?"
Song Shi looked at the entrance of the mystic realm. "It seems that the treasures left behind by the Langya Mystic Realm should be more valuable than these treasures inside?"
As he pondered, the upper echelons of the various large factions outside looked at each other when they saw Song Shi take the Illusionary Scroll.
"He actually chose the most useless Illusion Saint inheritance. Isn't he afraid that he won't be able to break through in this era?"
"That's right. Illusions can't go far without Talent. Even if you have Talent, you also can't go very far."
"From the looks of it, he doesn't even know that it's the Illusion Saint's inheritance."
The expressions of the people from Vajra Sect and Ye Family improved a little. This person had taken the least valuable of the nine treasures, hence it was still acceptable that he had the first pick.

"Among the nine supreme treasures, the value of the Illusionary Scroll can only be ranked at the bottom. It's not as versatile as the Nine Heavens Thunder Spiritual Liquid that's suitable for lightning-attribute cultivators."
"You can't say that. The nine supreme treasures each have their own focus. For example, the ancient Sword Saint's inheritance is more suitable for sword cultivators. It won't be of much use to others."
"In any case, I don't think he's an illusion genius. Yang divine power cultivation techniques are more suitable for him."
The people who were watching the show gave their opinions as if they knew best.
Jiang Sha shook his head helplessly. "Before coming here, I never thought that he would be able to reach the top. Coincidentally, he left on the way here, so I didn't tell him about these treasures. In the end, he accidentally chose the wrong one."
He did not know that Song Shi had actually been chosen by the supreme treasure and did not even have the time to reject it.
Lu Youyou retracted her gaze and muttered, "If Grandpa Nightmare gets this Illusionary Scroll, he will definitely be extremely happy. I just don't know if they are alive or dead now."
At this point, her eyes dimmed and she looked worried.
"Youyou, don't think about anything else. Hurry up and recover. Try to climb as much as possible."
Luo Chi reminded solemnly, "Here, every additional step means that you have broken through some of your limits."
"Yeah, of course."
Lu Youyou dispelled her worries, collected her emotions, and tried her best to recover.
Now that her sect had been destroyed, she understood that there were not many people she could rely on anymore. She had to be strong.
Chen Yiling felt that it was a pity, "With his talent, choosing the Sword Saint's inheritance is the most suitable."
Since it had already happened, Song Shi did not dwell on it. After looking at the other treasures and seeing that the vortex had no intention of opening, he could only go down or wait here for the time being.
Thinking that this Immortal opportunity platform would be open for three days, it basically gave everyone a chance to climb to the limit.
He did not leave. He sat cross-legged on the jade platform again and took out the ancient scroll he had obtained on the way. He began to browse the contents. n0๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ค๐๐.๐0๐
His gaze focused on the person in the painting. After staring at him for a while, his figure seemed to come alive and began to stroll forward.
The Void fluctuations under his feet emitted a special power. As he stepped out step by step, the ground was like a shrinking model, and mountains and rivers quickly appeared from the fluctuations.
His thoughts then received a stream of information. After absorbing it, he realized that this was a cultivation method for footwork.
"Teleportation footwork!"
Song Shi was pleasantly surprised. He did not expect the scroll to record this divine footwork power.
With anticipation, he began to absorb the information in the scroll with all his might.
The most important thing was the mystical meaning contained in the painting. It was something that could be understood but could not be explained. It could not be completely described by words alone, so it was represented by the medium of the painting.
"I feel that it's even more advanced than the Illusionary Scroll. Why isn't it placed in the reward at the last level?"
Song Shi found it a little strange. From the carrier method, Divine Teleportation Footwork was much more advanced than the cultivation techniques and divine powers recorded in ordinary words. In fact, according to rumors, this divine power was also very advanced. It was a famous top-notch divine power.
With doubts, he continued to accept the information contained in it. After a long time, he came to a realization.
Originally, this Divine Teleportation Footwork was not complete. It was only recorded by the person who made the scroll when he saw other powerhouses using it from afar and only had some comprehension.
In other words, this divine power was only an incomplete footwork that his predecessors had secretly learned when other powerhouses used it.
However, the person who made the scroll should at least be above the Soul Transformation realm. His level was not low. Therefore, even if the divine power in this painting was incomplete and its power was probably not even ten percent of the original divine power, it was still valuable to him.
"It happens to be that when others use it, they relied on drawings to record it down. How powerful is the real Divine Teleportation Footwork?"
Song Shi revealed a look of yearning. It was rumored that this Divine Teleportation Footwork was a true great divine power. It was a top-notch means of travel for immortals.
Just imagine how cool it was to cross hundreds or thousands of miles with a single step.
"I will just treat it as a preparatory exercise before learning the true Divine Teleportation Footwork."
Song Shi consoled himself and received all the information. As he stared at the scroll, the mysterious feeling on it suddenly began to dissipate.
Soon, the light on the screen dimmed and lost its color. With a kacha sound, cracks appeared on the scroll, turning it into a tattered item.
He knew that this scroll no longer had any effect. The true meaning of the footwork engraved in it had already dissipated. Unless he cultivated the incomplete Divine Teleportation Footwork to the level of the creator, it would be difficult to restore it.
Song Shi simulated the footwork in his mind. His powerful Comprehension made him realize that the key to this footwork was its unique charm. It involved some kind of law.
He recalled that when he cultivated the sword and saber techniques that Elder Qin had given him, he had to comprehend the pattern of the storm. This footwork was similar to that.
However, this rule was even more difficult to comprehend. It was not something he could consider at his realm at all. He could only search for some superficial knowledge.
He kept recalling the scene of the figure crossing the mountains and rivers with a single step in his mind. He was deep in thought, "It should be the law of space. The so-called Divine Teleportation Footwork is more like a disguised compression of space. It's a little like the folded space and curvature flight that I have learnt from previous life."
Song Shi's expression was a little strange. How was science so closely related to fantasy?
Following this train of thought, he managed to comprehend the true meaning of the painting.
"I should be able to use Nomological power to distort space and fold space, and use curvature on my body to fly."
Song Shi gradually understood. Just as he was about to get up and take two steps, he sensed an abnormal fluctuation.
A young man stepped onto the stairs.
This person was burly and had long golden hair. His eyes were like the sun and there were dragon patterns on his brows. His aura was domineering and dignified. He did not look like a mortal.
As the second person to reach the top, there was no colorful spiritual rain.
He was indignant. The spiritual rain had the effect of tempering one's body and increasing his cultivation. It should have belonged to him, but it was snatched away by this dark horse.
He looked at Song Shi with a cold glint in his eyes that was filled with hostility.
He narrowed his eyes and saw that Song Shi seemed to be cultivating. He thought for a moment but did not do anything.
Song Shi had already noticed this person and muttered in his heart, "This guy seems to be the crown prince of Great Qian. Without me, he would have been the first to reach the top. This guy seems to be hostile towards me. Is it because I stole his first place, or is it because I'm from the Heavenly Ghost Sect?"
He continued to sit still, giving this guy a chance to launch a sneak attack.
However, Qian Wuji took out a spirit pill and ate it. As he recovered his Restoration, he walked towards a ball of light.
He was meticulous and knew that Song Shi had already recovered most of his state with the help of the spiritual rain. His strength was not inferior to his. If he rashly launched a sneak attack, the success rate would be much lower. It would cause Song Shi to counterattack in his peak state and put him in danger.
Song Shi secretly cursed the sly old fox. He observed the ball of light that the other party went to. It was the light containing the Acalanฤtha Body.
This should be a top-notch body tempering technique of the Buddhist Sect. If he did not cultivate the Imperishable Golden Body, he would definitely consider it.
Qian Wuji had a plan long ago. Without looking at anything else, he directly took the Acalanฤtha Body and sat down to prepare to receive the cultivation information while recovering.
Report chapter Comments
At this moment, Song Shi suddenly stood up and took a step. The space under his feet fluctuated for a moment. This ordinary step was much more than his normal state. He teleported behind Qian Wuji.
Qian Wuji was on guard. He thought that Song Shi was going to launch a sneak attack on him, so a golden dragon swam out of his body to protect him. n0๐ฑ๐ข๐๐ข๐ฎ๐ท.๐0๐
In the end, Song Shi reached out and snatched his Acalanฤtha Body away.
"You want to die?"
Qian Wuji was so angry that his hair stood on end, and he was filled with killing intent. He jumped up, turned around, and punched Song Shi's head.
BANG!
Song Shi struck out with his palm, and the two of them separated upon contact. They took a few steps back, and a terrifying energy storm swept up.
The aftershock spread. After entering the stairs, it was swallowed by an even stronger force and quickly calmed down.
"Perfected Golden Core cultivator. As expected of the crown prince of the Qian Nation."
Song Shi held the golden book and grinned.
Since this guy was hostile to him and would definitely attack him in the future, he might as well make the first move.
"Return the Acalanฤtha Body to me!"
Qian Wuji, who had taken two more steps back, had a gloomy expression on his face. He was the dignified number one genius of the Qian Nation, yet someone had actually snatched away the supreme treasure that he had just obtained. Even though it was because his current condition was not as good, it was still a slap in his face.
"I'll think about returning it to you after I take a look. Perhaps I can help you comprehend it."
Song Shi smiled. He was deliberately angering this fellow.
Qian Wuji's body swelled slightly, and he was about to explode from anger.
He gritted his teeth and stared at Song Shi. He tried his best to suppress his anger and said through gritted teeth, "Do you know what you're doing? A top sect like the Heavenly Ghost Sect can be wiped out by my royal family overnight. Who do you think you are?"
"Aiya, I'm so scared. Are you guys going to gang up on me?"
Song Shi deliberately patted his chest and pretended to be afraid, looking especially shameless.
Qian Wuji thought that after being the crown prince for so many years, he had alot of patience. When he saw this fellow asking for a beating, he couldn't help but want to hit him.
The problem was that he had run out of steam. He had yet to recover his Nomological power. If he fought, he would obviously be at a disadvantage. He really could not do anything to this bastard.
His rationality made him continue to argue, "Even if you are not afraid, there are always people who are afraid."
He looked coldly at Jiang Sha and the others who came with Song Shi.
Song Shi pursed his lips in disdain.
Although he said that, he still felt that he should try his best not to implicate others.
It was only him who was courting death, others were still innocent.
Qian Wuji said righteously, "Everyone when encountering someone from a demonic sect, has the right to kill. Even if you don't snatch my things, I'll still kill you."
"โฆ"
Song Shi had nothing to say. He could only say coldly, "If you want this thing, you can snatch it back."
With that, he opened the golden book and browsed it in front of Qian Wuji.
"I'm so angry!"
Qian Wuji clenched his fists so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard. He was so angry that his hair stood on end. He stared fixedly but did not make a move.
Instead, he took a deep breath. "I'll let you get what you want first. I'll get it back sooner or later."
Qian Wuji sat down cross-legged and began to seize the time to recover his power.
"Your mentality is not bad."
Song Shi glanced at Qian Wuji and was very satisfied.
If it were anyone else, they would probably be especially afraid at this moment, or they would not take the initiative to offend him at all.
He was different. He, who was not afraid of death, was actually very happy. After all, a person who could control his anger would be much more powerful than Second Master Lu, and it would be easier to kill him.
"Why? You don't want it anymore? Then I'll help you accept it."
Song Shi smiled gently. Since they were enemies, there was no need to be polite.
He couldn't possibly wait for someone to kill him before saying these words, right? When the time came, he might be the one who would be angry.
Qian Wuji's eyebrows twitched. He knew that this person was deliberately provoking him so that he could make a move.
However, how could he give him a chance so easily? He pretended not to hear him.
Song Shi found it boring and simply sat at the side to cultivate.
The geniuses on the steps could not see these things, but the cultivators outside could.
The faces of the royal family of Great Qian darkened. Some of them cursed.
"How audacious. How dare you snatch the crown prince's treasure!"
"I think he doesn't want to live anymore. As long as he comes out of the mystic realm, we have to kill him!"
"This is the first time in so many years that someone has dared to snatch the imperial family's supreme treasure on the stage, right?"
"I think he has given up. Even if he doesn't fight for it, the royal family of Great Qian will not let him off."
Song Shi's actions caused another commotion with the spectators. It was unknown how many times this had happened.
Compared to the commotion outside, the Immortal opportunity platform was still very quiet. This place was isolated from the outside world and was not disturbed.
After a while, a short and strong young man climbed up. Even though there was no pressure, he was still lying on the ground with his tongue sticking out as he panted.
"I'm so tired. Qian Wuji, why did you run so fast? You caused me to have to quicken my pace so I won't fall too far behind you. Otherwise, I'll be nagged by the old fellow again when I go back."
At this point, he realized that the atmosphere was not right. Then, he was shocked to discover that Song Shi was browsing through the Acalanฤtha Body that Qian Wuji wanted. The latter's expression was dark like the bottom of a pot and he was recovering his Nomological power.
As the people at the stairs could not what had happened, he did not know that Song Shi had snatched Qian Wuji's treasure.
However, based on the current situation, he recalled the commotion just now and guessed what had happened. He was stunned. "Brother Song, did you snatch his things?"
"Mystic Turtle, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"
Qian Wuji shouted angrily. Why did this bastard tortoise bring up his embarrassment? Didn't he know to give him some face?
"You're the f*cking tortoise. I'm the successor of the Black Tortoise!"
Xuan Buzheng jumped up and cursed Qian Wuji, as if he was not tired at all.
"Hmph, I can't be bothered to talk to you. This person is just taking advantage of me being weak right now."
He deliberately explained, then closed his eyes and ignored him.
Xuan Buzheng pursed his lips, "You're suffering so much yet you still want to save your face."
He looked at Song Shi with a worried expression, "Brother Song you won't snatch mine, right?"
"It depends on the treasure you choose. If I am interested in it."
Song Shi laughed strangely.
Xuan Buzheng's expression turned bitter, "Then I might as well not choose, in case you snatch it away."
"Look at what you're saying. You make me sound like an evil person. Did I rob anyone? I only rob my enemies. You have no enmity with me. Why would I snatch your things?"
Song Shi's words almost made Qian Wuji vomit blood.
He really wanted to say that he didn't have any personal enmity with this bastard. It was just that he was a member of the royal family.
Furthermore, he was not the one who attacked the Heavenly Ghost Sect.
Unfortunately, he could not say this out loud because he was the crown prince and represented the entire royal family of Great Qian.
The corners of Xuan Buzheng's mouth twitched. He wanted to say, "You're a member of a demonic cult. If you're not considered a villain, then who is?"
Could it be Qian Wuji?
But instead, he smiled good-naturedly and responded "That's good, that's good."
After saying that, he took out the cauldron from the nine treasures and said lovingly, "With this Ten Thousand Medicinal Cauldron for my Black Tortoise True Technique, my defense has gone up another level."
"Good lord, you're actually brainlessly building up Defense."
Song Shi was speechless. His defense was obtained through farming death. This guy was the real tank character that could be seen in video games.
"It's my specialty."
"It can't be helped. I've been afraid of pain since I was young, so I would rather build up my defense to protect myself. After all, it's fine if I can't win, to me it's more important to make it impossible for others to hurt me."
Xuan Buzheng smiled politely.
"The righteous path of heaven and earth is indestructible. Only speed can't break it. What's the use of stacking up a pile of turtle shells? Aren't you destined to be broken by my sword?"
He Changqing, who was filled with pretentious airs, stepped forward. He was clearly panting heavily from exhaustion and sweating profusely, but he still deliberately smoothed his hair and straightened his back, appearing very gentlemanly.
Xuan Buzheng turned around and said expressionlessly, "But you're a step too late. Your sharpness is destined to be always short of breaking through my defense."
Song Shi wanted to laugh when he heard that. One of them attacked while the other defended. They were born to be sworn enemies.
He Changqing's eyebrows twitched and he said disdainfully, "I just didn't want to climb up like a certain someone who was crawling up like a dog."
Song Shi saw sparks shooting out of their eyes which collided violently in the air as both glared at each other.
In the end, the two of them did not fight because they were too tired. How could they still have the strength to fight after climbing for so long?
He Changqing glanced at Song Shi and sat on the ground with a smile. He cupped his fists and said, "I was wrong previously. Brother Song is really amazing."
"I also think I'm very powerful."
Song Shi nodded. He couldn't be polite when talking to this guy. He had to be pretentious when he had to. Otherwise, he would be taken advantage of by the other party.
He Changqing felt like he had been choked. This was the first time he had met someone so impolite.
He glanced at Qian Wuji, "I'm too tired. I'll recuperate for a while."
He wasn't in a hurry to retrieve his treasure. He sat cross-legged on the ground and immediately began his restoration.
Having learned his lesson, he did not give Song Shi any chance.
"This guy, is there a need to guard against me? You make it seem like I'm going to snatch your things."
Song Shi pursed his lips. The other party's actions were indeed wise. This was because he was restricted by the rules and could not take the supreme treasure again unless someone else took it.
From this, it could be seen that Qian Wuji was too arrogant. He thought that his identity was strong enough that Song Shi would not dare to snatch from him. In the end, he met someone who did not play according to his plan.
The top of the Immortal opportunity platform fell silent again. Song Shi leisurely looked at the divine technique he acquired.
An hour later, the princess of Li Nation, who had interacted with Song Shi before, walked up. Her clothes were drenched in sweat and stuck to her body, accentuating her beautiful figure.
Song Shi, who was reading, was distracted. He sized up the girl with admiration and said with a smile, "Your figure is really not bad. What's your name?"
"Feng Wu." n0๐ฅ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ท.๐ธ0๐
When the woman saw Song Shi's nonchalant expression, she said enviously, "Young Master, it's good that you came first. With the spiritual rain as a reward, you can recover fast."
Song Shi burst with joy at being called Young Master. How long had it been? Ever since he joined the Heavenly Ghost Sect, people had just been calling him Old Ghost. How could that be better than being called Young Master?
Song Shi smiled and patted the ground beside him.
"Young Master is really generous. You're even willing to let me take a look at such a divine technique."
Smiling, Feng Wu walked over gracefully and sat down next to Song Shi, bringing with her a nice fragrance.
Song Shi sized up Feng Wu's voluptuous figure from a close distance. Her skin was so rosy that it looked as if water could drip from it. She looked so tired that he couldn't help but pity her.
Her long eyelashes fluttered and her beautiful eyes sparkled. "Thank you for your kind intentions, Young Master. I'm a woman and am not suitable to cultivate such domineering martial arts. It's better for Young Master to take a look by himself."
"I'm quite suitable. Brother Song, can you show me?"
Xuan Buzheng interrupted shamelessly.
"You're ugly. I don't want to show you."
Song Shi replied angrily and lowered his head to ignore him.
Xuan Buzheng pursed his lips. "He is really horny. Let me get my sister to try later."
At this moment, there were already five people on the stage, reaching the average level of previous years.
Song Shi could also roughly tell that among this generation of young people, the young royals of Qian, Li, Shui, and Sword Kingdom should be the strongest.
When he finished reading the Acalanฤtha Body, no one came up again. They were all waiting for the final sprint after restoring their strength.
"Take it."
Song Shi threw the golden book to Xuan Buzheng.
The latter was surprised, "You're really giving it to me?"
"It's not like this can only be practiced by one person. It doesn't matter if I give it to you. It depends on whether you dare to take it or not."
Song Shi glanced at Qian Wuji, whose face was twitching with anger, with a playful expression.
He was also dragging Xuan Buzheng down with him. This way, he may be able to gain someone useful in the future.
Xuan Buzheng was a little cold on the outside but passionate on the inside. He was not a bad person and was also the crown prince. He would be good support if Song Shi were to fight against Qian Wuji.
"Why wouldn't I dare? I was originally interested in this Acalanฤtha too."
Xuan Buzheng took it generously, "After cultivating it, my defense should be able to improve again and become more perfect."
He Changqing's heart skipped a beat. He opened his eyes and glanced at Xuan Buzheng.
If this fellow cultivated the Acalanฤtha Body, it would really be difficult to injure him in the future.
He was a little tempted. Should he ask to borrow it? It wasn't this guy's anyway.
"Remember that you owe me a favor. In the future, if you have anything of the same level, remember to show it to me."
Song Shi said casually. He closed his eyes and tried to cultivate this Acalanฤtha Body.
"Um, can I owe you a favor too?"
He Changqing still spoke shamelessly.
"Are you guys done?!"
Qian Wuji roared angrily. Didn't these guys care about his feelings? They actually passed down his cultivation technique in front of him.
"Not done."
Song Shi replied and said to He Changqing, "I can show you, but I also want the inheritance of the Sword Sage."
He Changqing was silent. After thinking for a moment, he nodded, "No problem."
After deciding to exchange the inheritance with Song Shi, He Changqing was no longer worried that Song Shi would snatch it. He stood up, took out the ancient sword, and began to absorb the information inside.
Feng Wu still didn't move, as if she wasn't in a hurry.
After this, no one came up for a short period of time.
The first round of summit had ended. The other top geniuses sat on the steps to recover.
It was less than a day until the end. The others could still try one last time.
Song Shi's mind was already immersed in the Acalanฤtha Body technique. This cultivation technique was not only a body tempering technique, but it also possessed powerful divine powers. It was a comprehensive cultivation technique.
The Unmovable Emperor Ming was the Bodhisattva of the Buddhist Sect was the creator of this technique. His status was noble, hence his cultivation technique was naturally elite. It was not a problem for him to become an immortal or Buddha if he cultivated accordingly.
This cultivation technique had similar characteristics to Buddhist cultivation techniques. It was very difficult and cultivation was slow.
However, after carefully comparing it with the Imperishable Golden Body, he realized that the Imperishable Golden Body was still more difficult. The latter's requirements were too high, and every realm was in pursuit of perfection.
The Acalanฤtha Body focused more on the cultivation of the Buddhist Dharma. Although it valued the body, it valued cultivating the mind more. There were some concepts that he did not agree with.
He planned to mainly absorb some of the essence and cultivate his own divine power. He did not plan to spend too much time perfecting it.
As he cultivated, a circle of white light slowly appeared on his body. It was released from his heart and floated behind his head, forming a circle of light. For a moment, he really looked like a Buddha.
"This guy entered the Beginner realm so quickly?"
Xuan Buzheng, who was still pondering, was stunned. This cultivation technique was giving him a headache, yet the other party found the trick after reading it once, making him seem a little stupid.
Buzz buzz!
The Void trembled, and the power in Song Shi's body transformed into a pure power of light. His entire person's temperament changed drastically. If not for the fact that he looked too young, it would definitely not be a problem for him to pretend to be an eminent monk.

253 Chaotic Battle
Amidst the light, Song Shi's body was further strengthened.
This cultivation technique overlapped with the body parts refined by the Imperishable Golden Body. However, they each had their own focus and could promote each other.
Unknowingly, Song Shi began to cultivate Buddhism, Daoism, and Demonism. Buddhism cultivated from the Acalanฤtha Body, Daoism cultivated from the Imperishable Golden Body, and Demonism from the Blood Transformation Technique.
Now that the Blood Transformation Technique was not used, it was very difficult to associate Song Shi with demonic cultivators.
Feng Wu stared at the solemn and holy Song Shi in a daze. Her pupils dilated, which was a sign that she was tempted.
Song Shi suddenly opened his eyes and asked with a smile, "Miss Feng, am I handsome?"
"Young Master, you're quite smug."
Feng Wu laughed so hard that her chest shook.
"No matter how good-looking I am, I am still not as beautiful as you."
Song Shi praised.
Feng Wu blushed a little. She enjoyed his attention.
Song Shi recalled that he had been cultivating for quite some time and quickly stopped flirting with her. "Aren't you going to choose the treasure? It's almost over."
"I was just about to get it."
Feng Wu rose gracefully, walked to the bowl, and took it off.
"How do you intend to use this Numinous artifacts? Is it a bowl for a monks to eat from?"
Song Shi asked.
"This is a Wood Spirit Bowl made of ten-thousand-year-old Wutong Spirit Wood. It contains the Phoenix Spirit Flame and is beneficial to my cultivation."
With a wave of her hand, Feng Wu summoned a wisp of scarlet fire, which made the sound of a phoenix.
"Brother Song, I've finished reading it. Thank you."
Xuan Buzheng walked over and handed over the golden book. "My Water Nation doesn't have many cultivation techniques that can compare to this Acalanฤtha Body. Moreover, it can't be taught to outsiders, so I'll owe you a favour for the time being."
"You don't have to return it with a cultivation technique. I'll look for you when I need you."
When Song Shi received the book, a glint flashed across his eyes as he countered with a palm strike. n0๐ฅ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ท.๐ธ0๐
With a muffled sound, a certain hand that was reaching out was knocked back. It was Qian Wuji.
Qian Wuji growled.
"What are you panicking for? There are still people who haven't seen it."
Song Shi flung the golden book at He Changqing.
The latter grabbed it and shot out the Bronze Sword in his hand, "Brother Song is indeed a member of the Demonic Cults. Your actions are not restricted by conventions."
It was impossible for ordinary people to be willing to share this thing. Although he suspected this guy of dragging them down, it was still quite rare for him to be willing to exchange divine techniques with them.
"You've gone too far!"
Qian Wuji looked up at the sky and roared. His hair danced in the wind like an angry lion.
"Brother, I'm late."
An feeble voice came from behind, and He Changqing, Xuan Buzheng, and Feng Wu's pupils constricted.
The Qian Royal family had actually managed to send two to the top!
"Third Brother, you came at the right time!"
Qian Wuji's expression finally returned to normal. He stared at Song Shi coldly, "Hurry up and take the dragon pearl. We'll deal with this person after we enter the mystic realm."
"Understood!"
Qian Wuyin's appearance was very similar to Qian Wuji's. His figure was also burly. He strode towards the ball of light where the black wood was stored.
"There are dragon pearls inside?"
Song Shi was surprised. Among the nine supreme treasures, this black one was the least eye-catching. He did not expect it to be a pearl covered in dust.
"This is a black dragon bone. There's a dragon pearl sealed inside."
Feng Wu's voice was so gentle that it made one's blood boil.
Song Shi knew that he had perceived her wrongly. She was not a blockhead at all.
"From the looks of it, they are preparing to increase the power of their Numinous treasure replicas, making them truly Numinous treasures."
Xuan Buzheng narrowed his eyes. His already small eyes couldn't be seen for a moment.
Qian Wuyin removed the black bone and injected a trace of Nomological power into it. Immediately, a dragon roar sounded. The dark and unholy power surged and formed a black hole.
However, with the power of the surrounding secret realms, the power in the Dragon Pearl could not erupt. Otherwise, the energy would definitely be dark.
"Is this pearl demonic?"
Song Shi was deep in thought.
Qian Wuji blocked his line of sight, as if to prevent him from snatching it again.
Song Shi was caught between laughter and tears when he saw his cautious stance. He mocked him, "The dragon pearl looks good. Go back and work hard to get the real Numinous treasures out from it. When the time comes, come and take revenge on me."
"Why would I need Numinous treasures to kill you?"
Qian Wuji said disdainfully to Qian Wuyin, "Ignore this person. Hurry up and recover. We'll be entering the mystic realm soon."
"Yes."
The two of them distanced themselves from Song Shi. The former sized up Song Shi with ill intentions and had already begun to plan how to kill this person.
When Qian Wuyin recovered, the last two people came up one after another. One was the successor of the Thunder Kingdom, and the other was a barbarian from the Li Kingdom.
At this point, eight people had reached the top. Excluding Song Shi, there were two more people than usual.
The woman from the Wind Nation stood three steps away from the finish line with a sad expression. If she was given another hour, she would definitely be able to reach the top.
"Among the nine countries, only Wind, Sand, and Alchemy haven't reached the top."
"It's much better than before. It's basically the most crowded this time."
"It's a pity that the Wind Nation's descendant hasn't reached the top. It has already been three times in a row, right?"
"Sky Demon Cult's successor isn't simple either. He almost reached the top."
Suddenly, discussions could be heard from outside. Song Shi realized that the space near the vortex had begun to squirm and was rapidly expanding.
A leisurely voice sounded. "Congratulations to the One thousand eight hundred and sixty-two young geniuses who have stepped onto the three thousandth step. Next, you are qualified to enter the Langya Mystic Realm to cultivate. The entrance will only be open for 15 minutes. Cultivators who are willing to enter, take your Langya Token and enter."
Rays of light fell from the sky. Upon closer inspection, they were all various tokens.
Song Shi subconsciously grabbed the token that had landed in front of him. A force swept past him, and a string of numbers appeared on the token.
"This is your initial score. Those who enter the mystic realm can defeat or kill others to obtain new scores. In the month's trial, you must accumulate a top ten score to have a chance to obtain an item in the Langya Mystic Realm."
The voice in the void stated the rules: "Everyone's token also has one chance for forfeit. As long as you shout 'give up', you can be teleported out of the mystic realm"
"Just now, it was a competition of foundation. This time, it's a competition of actual combat. No, it involves a chaotic battle. It's not as simple as actual combat."
Song Shi was deep in thought. At the same time, he was puzzled. "How much better can the things inside be compared to the ones outside?"
"It's not much better, but there's a difference. In the mystic realm, only whoever is stronger has a chance of obtaining the reward."
Xuan Buzheng chuckled, "This place tests one's foundation. In most cases, the stronger one is, the more disadvantageous one will be. It's the other way around inside."
At this moment, the pressure on the steps dissipated.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
One by one, figures rushed up from below the stage and gathered in teams. Soon, nearly a hundred people appeared beside Qian Wuji, all of them staring at Song Shi with ill intentions.
When Lu Youyou, Luo Chi, and the others saw this scene, they did not dare to speak for a moment.
Song Shi came to a realization, "It seems like there's going to be a group fight."
"That's right. Brother Song, why don't you join us? I guarantee that you won't have to worry about being surrounded by them if you are with me."
Xuan Buzheng had invited him. He had seen Song Shi's strength and foundation with his own eyes, so he wanted to recruit him.
"My Sword Nation also welcomes an expert like you, Brother Song. Moreover, we can exchange the inheritance of the Sword Saint too."
He Changqing also extended an olive branch.
Song Shi shook his head. "Thank you for your kind intentions. I won't join anyone, but you both can help me lead a few of my fellow disciples."
He pointed at Lu Youyou and the rest, "Just the few of them."

"No problem."
Xuan Buzheng patted his chest, "I promise to take care of them as if they're one of us."
He Changqing looked at Chen Yiling, "She's suitable to follow our Sword Nation."
"Ling'er, can you do it alone?" Song Shi asked. Chen Yiling was indeed suitable to follow the Sword Nation.
"Sure."
Chen Yiling's attitude towards Song Shi had changed drastically. It was rare for this person to still want to help them.
After the people from the various large factions more or less gathered together, the sky suddenly darkened, and many genius elders approached.
The king of Great Qian was the fastest. He instantly appeared outside the vortex and looked at Qian Wuji with dissatisfaction. "Make up for your own mistake. I don't want to see him walk out of the mystic realm alive."
He did not even look at Song Shi and did not take him seriously at all.
Song Shi sneered, "Sadly, I might not be able to let you get what you want."
The king of Great Qian still did not look at Song Shi. Instead, he raised his hand and the power of heaven and earth fluctuated. A spiritual rain fell.
"Let's recover our cultivation first. Only then will we have a chance to deal with some people."
"What the f*ck are you talking about?"
This was the first time Song Shi had been ignored like this. He cursed.
The Qian Nation's leader finally looked at him and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I'm not allowed to do anything here, you would have died countless times already."
"That's a pity."
Song Shi was not afraid at all. He even hoped that this fellow would kill him. That way, the rewards would be very rich.
"Blood-Robed old ghost, can you keep a low profile? What you're doing makes me tremble in fear."
Jiang Sha could not help but send a voice transmission to stop him. He felt that if this continued, none of them would be able to leave this place. Once they left, they would be attacked by Great Qian.
"Troublesome."
Song Shi was a little unsatisfied. If not for Jiang Sha and the others, he would definitely have gone all out.
Xuan Buzheng raised his thumb. He did not dare to do such a thing, not only because he was the ruler of a country, but also because his strength had already reached the Soul Transformation realm.
Song Shi did not say anything else. He brought his own people to restore their strength and prepare for the upcoming chaotic battle.
Among the various factions, the Nine Nations had the most officials, followed by the Demon Race and ordinary sects.
Many sects joined forces, such as the Demonic Sects. It was the same for the orthodox sects. The difference in numbers was hence not too great.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly. Song Shi looked at the vortex and said to Chen Yiling and the others, "I'll go in first."
In front of everyone, Song Shi landed in the vortex and disappeared with the spatial fluctuations.
"Is this guy really going in solo?"
Lu Youyou pursed her lips.
"It's best if he doesn't go with you. Otherwise, the trouble he causes will be enough to kill you."
Xuan Buzheng shook his head, "Take this sensing talisman and meet up with us as soon as possible after you are randomly teleported in."
On the other side, Song Shi felt the world spin. The surrounding space was distorted and he could not see clearly.
When he returned to normal, he appeared in a primeval forest. He looked up and felt that it was similar to the outside.
Here, his Dharma treasures and other things shone brightly. He could finally use them.
He acutely sensed that the concentration of Spiritual Qi here was much higher and the surrounding vegetation was also different, as if he had come to ancient times.
As his thoughts spread, Song Shi felt a suppressive force. It could not compare to the Immortal opportunity platform, but it still prevented him from releasing his divine consciousness too far.
"There is about twice the pressure here, which is equivalent to the level of the one thousandth step outside. No wonder only those who have reached the three thousandth step can enter. Those without any foundation will suffer even if they come."
Song Shi fell into deep thought. After investigating, he found that he was in a rather wide primitive forest, but he had yet to find the edge of the forest.
Logically speaking, with his current mental strength, even if it was suppressed, it would not be a problem for him to explore thirty to fifty miles. It seemed that this space was larger than he had imagined.
Walking on the soft ground paved with fallen leaves, a centipede that was a foot long suddenly crawled out, wanting to crawl into his shoes.
A circle of ripples was released, and the centipede was killed.
After cutting off the head and tail, Song Shi roasted it with fire and ate it.
"Let's eat something first and find a quiet place to cultivate."
Song Shi muttered and realized that the centipedes tasted pretty good. With a stomp of his feet, a few more centipedes were shaken out from the ground.
He remembered that he still had The seven-colored centipede. He took out the black alms bowl and looked at the sleeping fellow inside. He curled his lips. "It's useless to raise it."
With a slap, Song Shi roasted it and ate it as a snack.
The centipede was just an appetizer. He walked towards a certain direction with a destination in mind. Soon, a wild beast's scream sounded.
A few minutes later, in a cave filled with vines, Song Shi threw out a row of array flags. He formed an incantation gesture and activated them. He released the Array Formation Power and disappeared into thin air as the surrounding air squirmed.
After covering his tracks, Song Shi turned around and processed a tricolor elk the size of a calf. He sprinkled salt on it and roasted it. The taste was excellent.
As he ate the roasted meat, Song Shi looked at the sky outside, "Impressive. This space is actually so big. I wonder how it was created."
Curious, Song Shi flipped his hand and took out the Supreme Yang True Fire.
The Nine Yang Divine Technique circulated, and a fireball rose from Song Shi's Dantian, forming a devouring power that slowly absorbed and refined the Supreme Yang True Fire.
Song Shi's body heated up. The power of the Supreme Yang True Fire was indeed much stronger. Even a wisp of it made him, who cultivated Yang techniques, uncomfortable.
He quickly turned into a burning man and swallowed all the Supreme Yang True Fire. n0๐ณ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฏ.๐0๐
This wisp of high-level true fire was more like a catalyst. After absorbing the Pure Yang True Fire in his body, he found the direction on how to cultivate it and its quality successfully increased, causing the true fire contained in his other Golden Cores to transform.
Not only his Golden Cores, but the true fire contained in Song Shi's flesh and blood also transformed. When the true fire contained in the six Golden Cores and his flesh and blood completely transformed, Song Shi's aura immediately became stronger.
His Dharmic powers had become purer. If he used his Nomological powers, the power would be even more terrifying.
"After crossing the stage of the Nine Yang True Fire, I can directly condense an even stronger Supreme Yang True Fire and save a lot of time."
Song Shi was very satisfied. Originally, he had to condense nine Golden Cores in order to successfully cultivate the complete version of the Nine Yang True Fire before he could cultivate the Supreme Yang True Fire.
Now that he had achieved it in one step, he could now absorb the Supreme Yang True Fire and directly cultivate the Supreme Yang True Fire. The power of his Nomological power and divine powers would multiply exponentially.
"I condensed the Supreme Yang True Fire in advance, but my realm didn't increase. I suppose I still have to condense the nine suns."
Song Shi took out another treasure. It was the Essence Breaking Pill.
This pill was used to assist a Golden Core cultivator to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. It could provide a vast amount of Spiritual Energy to prevent failure in forming the Nascent Soul.
Song Shi was not interested in waiting until he was about to break through. He ate it despite his mid-stage Golden Core cultivation.
Boom!
As the medicinal effect was released, there was a roar in his ears. Song Shi's expression changed slightly, and he felt as if he was being inflated.
The six Golden Cores moved and absorbed it crazily. Their Golden Cores expanded at an extremely fast speed.
Not only the six Golden Cores, but the Dharmic powers at his seventh Acupuncture point formed a vortex and began to condense new Golden Cores.
One, two, three!
In a few days, three Golden Cores appeared on Song Shi's body, with the total number reaching nine. The nine suns merged into one and shone brightly. The energy released made the soil and rocks in the cave melt.
Report chapter Comments
The rewards of a higher grade were indeed much more powerful. Song Shi condensed three Golden Cores in one go, and his realm had also advanced from the middle stage to the late stage. Every Golden Core he had now was larger, and his Nomological power was purer.
Song Shi exhaled. "I've finally condensed the true nine suns. The next step is to combine the nine suns and cultivate an Essence Body."
The Nine Yang Divine Technique was a martial arts technique. It has no effect in condensing of the Nascent Soul. Instead, it fused Nomological power into the body and condensed the Essence Body.
This Essence Body was actually the same as the Nascent Soul. The difference was that one was condensed on the inside, whereas the Essence Body was cultivated with the current physical body as the foundation.
At this point, although martial arts and Qi Refinement were considered immortal cultivation and the principles were similar, there were still some differences. The focus was different. Martial arts cultivated the body while the Qi Refinement Dao condenses the Nascent Soul.
He knew that in the end, it was because martial artists did not have spiritual roots. Without roots, how could they break out of their core and condense a Nascent Soul?
"I still have to continue cultivating both my Essence Body and Nascent Soul."
Song Shi thought to himself. Cultivating the Essence Body was powerful in close combat and cultivating the Nascent Soul was close to achieving the Heavenly Dao. The power of spells and divine powers in Heavenly Dao was even more terrifying.
Since both aspects each had their own advantages, he naturally wanted them all!
He retracted his Nomological power and saw that there was actually magma in the cave. He muttered, "The power of the Supreme Yang True Fire is not to be underestimated. However, this is not enough. I have to go out and bask in the sun and absorb the Supreme Yang True Fire essence. Otherwise, as I use my Nomological power, the Supreme Yang True Fire will degenerate again."
After his cultivation level increased, Song Shi took out the third item.
Bronze Sword.
Song Shi stared at the rusty ancient sword and was stunned to discover that the sword intent inside was far inferior to when he received it in the beginning.
"Damn it, could it be that this thing can only be seen once?"
He cursed, but still brought his thoughts closer.
The light and shadow in front of him changed. Song Shi came to a starry sky. The stars in the sky flickered as words appeared.
He saw a cultivation technique called the Star Sword Technique. As the starlight flickered, someone seemed to be executing it.
However, he didn't manage to take a second look before the figure dissipated. In the end, the star also dimmed, leaving only a description.
Without the help of the figure, the speed of cultivating this sword technique was greatly reduced.
Song Shi could still accept it. Without the hints left behind by his seniors, he could cultivate according to his own understanding. At most, he would suffer from Qi Deviation.
After carefully browsing through the sword art, Song Shi became more and more shocked.
He shook his head. The power of stars was the foundation of this sword technique. He could not cultivate it for the time being. It was better to cultivate the Acalanฤtha Body now.
After memorizing the sword technique, Song Shi's body emitted a white Buddhist light as he entered a cultivation state.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. Song Shi stopped when there were still three days before the month was up.
"It's about time. I have to go out and give them a chance to kill me."
Song Shi chuckled and saw the elk bones rolling in the magma.
Growl.
His stomach rumbled.
After cultivating for more than half a month, Song Shi did not lack energy. However, his instincts still made him want to eat something.
Taking a deep breath, the Supreme Yang True Fire, Buddhist light, and other powers on his body quickly converged. Song Shi returned to his normal appearance and walked towards the cave entrance.
In the outside world, weeds were thriving. Drops of sparkling dew hung on the emerald leaves.
Suddenly, a drop of dew fell. The leaf lowered slightly, and Song Shi landed on it.
Glancing at the situation outside, Song Shi quickly sensed many fluctuations. n0๐โฏ๐ฉ๐๐๐.๐ฌ0๐
"Half a month has passed. The mystic realm should be quite lively now."
Song Shi waved his hand and retracted the array flags. A gust of wind blew past, and he was already gone.
"Old dog Blood Robes, come out if you dare!"
"Bloody-robed old turtle, you've been hiding for almost a month and you still don't dare to show your face?"
"Old dog Blood Robes, are you dead? Did you turn into poop after being eaten by Vicious beasts?"
As the group advanced, they activated their Nomological powers and cursed. Their voices spread out and could be heard from dozens of kilometers away.
Song Shi's ears twitched when he heard someone scolding him. His face darkened.
"These guys, I was only cultivating in seclusion for a period of time. Is there a need to be in such a hurry?"
Song Shi pursed his lips, "Forget it. You're scolding the Blood-Robed old ghost. What has it got to do with me? You won't affect my mood when I am about to eat some delicious meat."
He looked down at the golden rabbit meat wrapped in red oil in the pot and took a deep breath. "It looks good. Let's start."
As he drank the wisdom tea and ate the Dried Pot Rabbit, Song Shi felt that this was the true essence of cultivation. It was much more interesting than hiding in a cave.
"ROAR!"
A fierce multicolored tiger came from behind, riding on a walking cloud. It was agile and its cultivation level was not low. As it walked, it glanced at the Dried Pot Rabbit and then at Song Shi.
Compared to the Dried Pot Rabbit that it had never seen before, it felt that this human was more delicious. When the tiger's roar spread, its bloody mouth had already reached the back of Song Shi's head.
He only needed to bite it gently and he would have a chance to taste the fresh and delicious brain matter.
When it bit down, it realized that the head in front of it was glowing. Then, there was a cracking sound.
"Ow!"
It screamed and retreated. Blood flowed out of its mouth and a few broken teeth fell out.
Its teeth had actually been broken!
The tiger demon was a little stunned, and fear rose in its heart.
"Even if you're a demon, you should know that it's rude to disturb someone's meal, right?"
Song Shi, who was eating the rabbit meat, turned around with a displeased expression. "As an apology, come and give me more food."
He backhanded him with a heavy fist.
BOOM!
The earth shook and the mountains shook. The demonic tiger was smashed into the soil by a fist, and the ground rippled like water. Its huge body convulsed violently and became limp.
The tiger head split open, and white brain matter mixed with blood flowed out. It was actually killed by Song Shi in one move.
Song Shi sat on the tiger's back and continued to drink tea leisurely and eat the extra meat happily.
The commotion here attracted the attention of other cultivators, and thoughts came from nearby.
"Was that the Blood-Robed old ghost?!"
"That's him. The Blood-Robed old ghost has finally appeared."
"There's going to be a good show to watch. The Crown Prince of the Qian Nation is looking for him with a hefty bounty on his head."
In the mystic realm, some people were hiding, while others were keeping watch. It would be fine if Song Shi did not move, but once he did, it would be very easy for him to be discovered.
As the communication talisman spread the news, the leaders of some teams received the news easily, especially the royal family of Great Qian who had long been prepared to kill Song Shi in the mystic realm.
Somewhere on the mountainside with a wide field of vision, Qian Wuji opened his eyes and looked at his token.
The points on it had already reached 100, and he was ranked third.
However, this was not what he was concerned about. With their strength, it was not difficult for them to enter the top three.
He only wanted to kill Song Shi and end his humiliation.
"Brother, there's news of the Blood-Robed old ghost!"
Qian Wuyin landed from the sky with a communication talisman in his hand.
"Finally willing to show your face?"
A sinister smile appeared on Qian Wuji's face. He stood up and stretched out his hand. A golden Spear engraved with dragon patterns appeared in his hand. If Song Shi was here, he would realize that this Spear was very similar to the Ye Family's Spear.
"Bring everyone and turn him into fertilizer for the mystic realm."
Qian Wuji did not hide his killing intent at all.
A few newly built wooden houses stood by a calm lake.
Lu Youyou was cultivating when a person suddenly emerged from the water opposite her and walked on the waves. "Miss Lu, the Blood-Robed old ghost has appeared. Do you want to tgo and take a look?"
"Ah, why did he show up?"
Lu Youyou was surprised. "Since you wanted to hide, why didn't you hide until the end of the trial?"

It was not only Song Shi's enemies. Those who were on good terms with Song Shi also thought that Song Shi was deliberately hiding.
This was the wisest and most energy-saving method to survive.
There were still three days until the end. They all had a chance to surround him now.
A young man emitting Buddhist light walked out from the side. "We can go over and take a look, but it's not good to interfere."
He was Xuan Buzheng. Now that he had some achievements in cultivating the Acalanฤtha Body, he continued, "Unless we're prepared to attack the Qian royal family and absorb their points."
In the Sword Nation team, He Changqing's body was covered in dazzling starlight. His sword intent was vast, like the stars in the nine heavens.
His brows moved slightly as he opened his eyes. "He actually appeared. Did he do it on purpose or was he forced?"
It was not just Song Shi's enemies. After receiving the news, many teams secretly approached the place where Song Shi appeared.
The latter did not care at all. He cut a piece of tiger meat out of curiosity and started roasting it.
"I've never eaten tiger meat before. I wonder how it tastes."
Song Shi muttered.
This tiger meat contained a majestic essence and bloomed with a brilliant light in the flames. It looked like gold, especially when a layer of oil appeared, a rich fragrance assaulted his face.
"Exquisite!"
Song Shi's eyes lit up.
"Human, how dare you kill my brother!"
Amidst a low roar that suppressed its anger, a white tiger walked out. Its cultivation level was at the Golden Core realm and its aura was powerful, causing the nearby plants to tremble.
"Why? Is there a problem? If you're unhappy, you can kill me to avenge him."
Song Shi did not turn his head. The tiger he had killed was a demon beast, not an ordinary beast. Otherwise, it would not have such rich Essence Qi.
The White Tiger did not step forward. It was stronger than its brother and was already a Beastmaster. Although this person had restrained his aura, it could still sense that this person's strength was definitely not simple. It vaguely felt danger radiating from him.
It narrowed its eyes and seemed to have thought of something. It was bewildered. "This person seems to be the fellow that the Human Race of Great Qian has been chasing recently. He has been in the limelight outside and was also the first to reach the top?"
Due to the special nature of the demon race, most of them cultivated their demon bodies and their improvement speed was slow. Therefore, their overall performance was not very good. They had only climbed six thousand steps and had only seen this person's back from afar. Only now did it remember.
"Big Brother, why would we have to be afraid of this person who is alone?"
Another wild boar demon walked out of the forest and spoke in human language. It was a Foundation Establishment superhuman who had refined a hybrid body. This fellow's pig nose was very big, and its fangs were like steel knives.
A leopard demon popped its head out from behind the leaves with a mocking expression.
It was not the only one. There were no less than ten demons lurking in the dark. All of them were Foundation Establishment superhumans.
"Don't be noisy. If you don't want to kill me, get lost. I already have a demonic tiger to feast on. I don't want to eat you guys for the time being."
Song Shi did not like to be disturbed.
"Big Brother, he's so arrogant. I really want to beat him up."
A bull demon walked out with steam coming out of its nostrils. Its bell-like eyes were filled with displeasure.
Its strength had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm. Its cowhide could block Dharma treasures and it was very powerful. Even if this human was a Golden Core Martial King, it was not too afraid.
In general, without Dharma treasures and talismans, many human geniuses would not be able to defeat demon geniuses.
The White Tiger shook its head, "Don't waste your energy for now. Someone will come and kill him."
It was much more rational and smarter than the guy Song Shi had killed with a punch. Even though Song Shi was alone, it did not attack rashly.
On the contrary, it shamelessly said, "Your name is Blood-Robed old ghost, right? I won't kill you, but after you finish eating the meat, remember to give me my brother's demon cores and body so that I can give the clan an explanation when I go back."
Song Shi was stunned, "There's still a use for demon cores but what do you need a broken body for? Why would the demons want to collect corpses?"
The White Tiger said righteously, "That's right. Our demon race is also learning the rites of burials from you humans. You can't possibly not agree to such a small request, right?"
"The leftovers are all yours."
Song Shi could not be bothered to say anything else. He took off the tiger skin in front of the demons and casually refined it into a blanket. Then, he roasted the meat. n0๐ฑ๐ฌ๐๐ค๐๐.๐ 0๐
"Brother, it smells so good."
A wild dog jumped out and drooled at the roasted meat. The pig demon beside him also kept licking its tongue.
"Trash, you're considered the top geniuses of the various races of the demon race. Can't you control your nature?"
The White Tiger cursed.
Among the demons, those who could reach the Foundation Establishment realm in two hundred years were all geniuses. Those who could cultivate demon cores could be equivalent to human prodigies.
Since they were all geniuses, they should not lose control of their nature and act like beasts.
"It's hard to change your instinct. If you want to eat, I'll give some to you."
Song Shi took a portion of the refined meat and a few tiger bones with the richest essence. He slapped the rest and threw them to the demons.
He wanted to see if these guys would eat their companion.
Seeing a large piece of broken body flying over, the eyes of many demon beasts lit up. They lowered their bodies and wanted to snatch it.
"Hmph, it's my brother's broken body, how can it be your turn?"
The White Tiger snorted coldly and opened its mouth. Its bloody mouth expanded, enough to accommodate a house. It swallowed all the broken body parts in one bite.
Its mouth returned to normal as it chewed with a look of enjoyment.
Song Shi was stunned. He turned around and looked at the White Tiger. "I perceived you wrong. You spouted so much nonsense, yet you are the first to eat it!"
"I'm here to collect his corpse and send you on your way, just like how you humans like to bury your old friends."
The White Tiger spoke righteously, but the changes in its body betrayed it.
It was as if there was something in the remnant of its body. The White Tiger's entire body shone, and its body expanded slightly. Its ferocious aura became even richer.
In particular, the 'King' character between its brows shone brightly and became even deeper. Its aura also became stronger.
"Congratulations, Big Brother. The White Tiger Bloodline has become even stronger. Becoming an Emperor is just around the corner."
The wild dog demon was the first to suck up to it.
"Who told you to spew so much nonsense?"
The White Tiger slapped the wild dog away with its tail because this fellow had exposed its true intentions. Its true intentions were not to send its brother on his way, but to absorb the white bone blood essence in its brother's body.
Song Shi was enlightened, but he did not mind. "I suppose this is like making use of trash. Work hard to evolve and recuperate. In the future, I'll look for you if I want to eat tiger meat again."
The white tiger's eyes darkened, "Human, just because I just don't want to be entangled with you doesn't mean I'm afraid of you."
"I know."
Song Shi sized up the White Tiger's body. "You're much stronger than your brother. Your flesh contains abundant spirituality. I think you will be more delicious."
The White Tiger was furious, but it sensed something and snorted. "Someone is going to deal with you soon. If you die, I'll collect your corpse. Let's go!"
It retreated with its subordinates, and at the same time, someone was approaching.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
A group of people with malicious intent descended from the sky and landed one hundred feet away.
"Hehe, you're still interested in roasting meat. Looks like you really don't take us seriously."
Qian Wuyin's gaze was cold. "Eat. This is your last meal. You can die after you're full. Don't die hungry and become a hungry ghost."
Qian Wuji landed at the head of the group and ordered, "Set up the formation, make sure he can't escape even if he has wings."
