Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence.

Chapter 168 Ten Years
Inside the cave.

After Zhang Yao turned "Taiyi Mingguang Zhenlu" upside down, he still didn't notice any hidden secrets.

"Maybe I'm thinking wrong..."

He pondered for a moment, and gradually turned his attention to the origin of Taoist Wanhe.

According to Li Changlin's account, the demon cultivator couple and Taoist Wanhe were both members of the same demon cultivator organization 'Illuminati'.

Could the old Hu family demon cultivator also be a member of the Illuminati?Is this "Taiyi Mingguang Zhenlu" and the accompanying spiritual weapon one of their symbols?

"If this assumption is true, then the power of the Illuminati will be extremely astonishing."

"Judging from the performance of those Hu family demon cultivators back then, maybe even the forces under the command of the ancestors of Tangshan are just a part of the Illuminati..."

After Zhang Yao thought for a while, he shook his head secretly and put the matter down for the time being.

He only has some ambiguous clues in his hands, without more intuitive information, it is more difficult to continue to trace.

And from the current point of view, the main scope of activities of the Illuminati should not be in the territory of Dali, and it has nothing to do with him, and he is not going to delve into it further.

"The top priority is to continue to promote the blood test and gather six true blood as soon as possible."

As soon as Zhang Yao thought of this, he put away the jade slips, got up and went to the quiet room.

a few days later.

Zhang Yao finished his practice for a day, and when he was conducting a blood test, he suddenly noticed that the formation outside the cave was touched.

"Ok?"

He poked out his divine sense and heard a familiar voice:
"Master, it's me."

"Old Peng, wait a moment."

Zhang Yao responded, stopped the experiment immediately, and hurried to the entrance of the cave.

Peng Yue and Zhang Yao greeted each other first, and came to the front hall where the guests and hosts were seated. Then he couldn't wait to say:

"Chairman, something big has happened recently!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly, and he asked:
"What's the matter? Tell me carefully."

Peng Yue calmed down first, then subconsciously lowered his voice and said:

"Tianyin Mountain, Hongzhou in the north, a Golden Core War was suspected to have erupted two days ago!"

"what?!"

Zhang Yao was taken aback, and his heart suddenly set off a storm.

"Tianyin Mountain? Isn't that where the Heavenly Capital Secret Treasure is located?"

"If the golden elixir war breaks out, it must be because of the leak of the secret treasures in Tiandu... Could it be that a traitor has emerged from the remnants of Pingdu?"

Thoughts flickered in Zhang Yao's mind, and the first thought was that there were traitors in the East Pavilion or West Pavilion faction.

After all, the existence of the Tiandu Secret Store itself is very secretive, and the news that it may contain the relics of the Five Elements Sanren is only known to the Foundation Establishment monks of the two factions.

Only the relics of the Five Elements Sanren can cause a fight between the Jindan ancestors.

"Um……"

Zhang Yao pondered for a moment before asking cautiously:

"What about more specific news? Which two Jindan Patriarchs had a conflict, or more than two?"

"Why are they fighting, and who will win in the end?"

Peng Yue immediately spread his hands and said:

"Master, you think too highly of me."

"Northern Hongzhou is far away from Fangzhou. It would be nice if I could get first-hand information. The more specific information is that my eyes are dark."

With that, he added:
"However, according to rumors, the depths of Tianyin Mountain have been turned into white ground for a radius of hundreds of miles, and the mountains have almost been flattened."

"The resulting earthquake spread to more than half of the territory of Hongzhou. It is said that the sky-shattering roar can be heard clearly thousands of miles away."

"So it is certain that at least two Jindan Patriarchs fought, and the battle lasted at least half an hour..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yao couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

The sudden exposure of Tiandu's secret treasure also triggered the action of Jindan Patriarch, which was really beyond his expectation.

However, although the relics of the Five Elements Sanren may be of some help to his practice, in fact he did not regard them as something that must be obtained.

He used to be prepared to use this news as a bargaining chip, but later he wanted to wait until the way of the formation reached the third level, and then go to explore the hidden treasures of the sky, but now it seems that he has lost this opportunity.

"Forget it, it's my luck to get it, and it's my life to lose it."

Zhang Yao remained calm and said casually:

"Then use the channels in the meeting and continue to try to find out some news, but you don't have to force it, just follow the trend."

"After all, the battle between the ancestors of Jindan has little to do with us."

"I see."

Peng Yue nodded first, and said:

"Then the master, I will take my leave first."

…………

Between days:

The battle of Tianyin Mountain spread throughout the Dali Xiuxian Realm, causing a huge commotion within the 24 Continents.

Many speculations and discussions are raging, and all kinds of messy rumors and conspiracy stories are spread everywhere, but there is no reliable inside story.

What's more, they bravely ran to the depths of Tianyin Mountain to watch the battlefield left over from the Golden Core Fighting Technique, and all marveled at the supernatural powers of the Golden Core monks.

But the weird thing is:

Lingyang Sect, Fuhai Sect, Dugu Family, and Shanhe Sect, the four major Golden Core factions, kept secret about this matter and did not make any response, as if this matter had never happened.

One day, two days... one month, two months...

After half a year passed, this matter gradually faded out of everyone's sight, and the number of discussions became less and less.

Ten years passed in a flash.

The Battle of Tianyin Mountain back then has long been reduced to rumors and deeds, only occasionally mentioned by a few monks in their chats and exchanges.

And the Tianbaolou Grand Auction, which is held once every ten years, is about to be held. Tens of thousands of monks from all over the world are flocking towards Qianzhou.

Cangjiang Water Palace:
"Chichi..."

A demon fish with a swollen head and bulging eyes made a strange roar and struggled violently.

After struggling for a long time, its eyeballs burst open suddenly, and its whole body twitched, turning into a puddle of pus, completely dead.

"..."

Zhang Yao's face was gloomy, and he slowly withdrew his mana, feeling extremely bad.

For a whole ten years of experimentation, he did not know how many demon clans in the Cangjiang River have been harmed, but he still failed.

After thousands of attempts, what awaited him was one failure after another. To this day, the process of promoting the bloodline of the monster clan is still stuck at the last step——

No matter how smooth the fusion of vitality and energy is, once the blood vessels are catalyzed, distortion will definitely occur.

"Hey……"

Zhang Yao sighed deeply, with a hint of exhaustion in his expression.

"To this day, I have not found a way to reverse the distortion of flesh and blood."

"Unexpectedly, in the end, the bamboo basket fetched water in vain, and spent more than ten years in vain..."

After more than ten years of experiments, he has tried all the methods he could think of, but they all failed.

In the end he had no choice but to admit:

With his current vision, knowledge and methods, it is impossible to forcibly generate a bloodline level.

This means that the blood test can only be temporarily suspended. In the future, when he has a higher level of cultivation, stronger strength, and more accumulation, he may try to restart the experiment.

"But fortunately, it's not for nothing."

Zhang Yao reluctantly comforted himself:
"Lost in the east, reaped in mulberry and elm."

The failure of the blood test meant that his plan to create the foundation-building demon blood by himself was no longer feasible.

However, after more than ten years of experimentation, there was an unexpected surprise:
In the process of conducting the experiment, he gained a deep understanding and mastery of the existence and operation principles of vitality and essence, as well as the mysteries of blood inheritance, and developed a brand-new Taoism by the way-sepsis.

To put it simply, the sepsis technique is a method that uses the transition and fusion of vitality to actively cause the distortion of flesh and blood.

This method is the same as the "Same Heart and Fate Curse", it is almost indefensible. If the two cooperate with each other, there will be miraculous effects, which is enough to deceive the world.

"Master!"

Outside the gate of the cave, there was a respectful voice:
"It's almost time. Let me remind you that it's time to go to Qianzhou."

"it is good."

Zhang Yao responded, and divinely said:
"You tell Lao Peng and the others to wait for a while, and I'll be there right away."

Ten years later, the GCC also had two new Foundation Establishment members.

One is a casual builder who is recruited from the outside, and he is considered a diligent person; the other is a backbone cultivated by himself, who got the opportunity to swallow the Foundation Establishment Pill in the internal competition, and was successfully promoted to a Foundation Establishment monk.

"call!"

Zhang Yao took a deep breath, and after slowly adjusting his breath, he turned and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

After ten years of hard work, his mana cultivation has also improved a lot. Now he is not far from the middle stage of foundation establishment, and he can break through in three years at most.

"The blood test failed, and the monsters in Cangjiang who have perfected their energy have never shown any signs of breaking through."

In Zhang Yao's mind, he kept thinking:

"The hope of gathering the last kind of true blood seems to have to be placed in the big auction..."

…………

a few days later.

Zhang Yao led many foundation-building monks from the GCC to the headquarters of Tianbao Building again.

The fifth floor of 320:
When Zhang Yao went to visit Master Haihe, he discovered that his aura had become unfathomable. After being slightly surprised, he reacted.

"Congratulations to the real person, the foundation establishment has been completed."

Zhang Yao sincerely congratulated and said:

"Now the real person is only one step away from the Golden Core Realm!"

Master Haihe smiled, waved his hands and said:

"What is one step away? It's still far away."

"I have just reached the Consummation of Foundation Establishment. If I want to hit the Golden Core Realm, I will have to polish it for at least 30 to [-] years."

He said, paused, and then said:

"Actually, I broke through the realm not long ago. I should have continued to cultivate in the mountain gate to consolidate the realm."

"This time I came here mainly because I was ordered by my teacher to urge Yu Wentai to fulfill the agreement and personally refine the 'Qianyuan Solid Shape Pill' for me."

When he said these words, his tone was very calm, but he could still faintly hear the meaning of resistance.

"I see……"

Hearing this, Zhang Yao showed a hint of understanding, and understood the mood of the real person Haihe very well.

Qianyuan Solid Forming Pill is a third-order panacea, its value is immeasurable, only Yu Wentai can refine it in Dali, and it is of great help to the achievement of Jindan.

But Yu Wentai is still his enemy. In all fairness, he really doesn't want this panacea, but unfortunately he has no choice.

If he wanted to take revenge, he had to achieve the golden elixir, and this 'Qianyuan solid shape elixir' was an indispensable treasure.

"Qingxu, it just so happens that you are here."

Haihe real person looked at him, showing a trace of sincerity:
"Why don't you accompany me to meet Yu Wentai."

"I hope you will forgive me, I really don't want to meet that Yu Wentai alone..."

"This……"

Zhang Yao hesitated for a moment, finally nodded and said:
"Okay then, I'll go with the real person."

He and Yu Wentai also had some grievances, but they were not serious.

The two sides hadn't broken their faces yet, and he wasn't worried that Yu Wentai would suddenly lose his mind and attack him and Master Haihe.

"Okay, thank you very much."

When Master Haihe heard this, he immediately showed a hint of gratitude.

After tidying up a bit, the two got up together and left the room, crossing the corridor.

Zhang Yao and Master Haihe chatted while walking, and soon they talked about the battle of Tianyin Mountain ten years ago.

"...Actually, I know a little bit about the inside story."

Haihe Daoist said, and turned to whisper:

"It was my master Wanchuan Patriarch and the 'Zhenyang Patriarch' of the Lingyang Sect who started the fight on Tianyin Mountain."

"The two fought in the depths of Tianyin Mountain to compete for a treasure."

When Zhang Yao heard this, his heart moved, and he also responded via voice transmission:
"Then who won in the end?"

On the face of Daoist Haihe, there was a hint of complacency:

"Of course my master won."

"The two fought for half an hour. In the end, Patriarch Zhenyang lost to my master's supernatural powers and retreated in defeat."

As he said that, he paused for a moment, with a look of disgust in his eyes:
"Actually, this incident itself was caused by a remnant of the former Pingdu. He became a traitor and betrayed his fellow disciples in order to seek glory and wealth."

"This person also came to the big auction this time. If we meet at that time, just ignore it. They are villains anyway."

Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly, he nodded and said:
"I understand."

"However, the remnants of Pingdu's betrayal of the same family can provoke a fight between the two Jindan ancestors. Could it be that he eats two fish?"

Master Haihe snorted coldly, and said via voice transmission with his divine sense:
"He is a mere remnant of Pingdu, if he really dared to play with the two golden elixir like this, he would have been defeated long ago."

"Actually, someone in his family had the same thoughts as him. Taking advantage of the opening of the big auction and the influx of foundations from the southwest into the territory of Dali, they crossed the border and came to Dali."

"However, the two chose differently. One chose me, Fuhaizong, and the other chose Lingyangzong."

"So that's how it is..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yao suddenly realized.

After going on for a long time, it was not a traitor, but traitors from both the Dongge faction and the West Pavilion faction at the same time, which led to the outbreak of the Battle of Tianyin Mountain.

Taking advantage of the conversation, the two soon came to another part of the floor.

After Master Haihe explained the whole story, the Foundation Establishment Master who was in charge of this floor immediately reported to the higher authorities, and soon there was a reply.

"Haihe real person, Qingxu real person."

On the face of the Foundation Establishment Master, there was a trace of respect:
"The landlord already knows about your visit and is waiting for you on the top floor."
