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

Chapter 174 Recourse
Misty Island.

Zhang Yao pondered for a long time, but failed to deduce the truth about Yu Wentai and the Five Elements Secret Realm.

The first guess is itself contradictory:
The one who can completely break the blood curse is at least the Patriarch of Jindan. If the Yuwen family in history was of ordinary origin, how could they impress a Patriarch of Jindan?

But if the Yuwen family at that time was still the Xiuxian family, then without the shackles of the blood curse, they should have risen rapidly and showed the tyranny of the blood, instead of being unknown and lonely.

As for the second guess, it is even more illusory.

Unless Yu Wentai was the reincarnation of the Five Elements Loose Man back then, he shouldn't know so much about the Five Elements Secret Realm when his blood is not compatible.

But Wuxing Sanren was already a character 2000 years ago. For such a long time, let alone a Jindan stage, a great monk in the Nascent Soul stage should have turned into dust long ago, and even the remnant soul could not be left behind.

"The current clues are still a little lacking, lacking crucial evidence..."

After Zhang Yao thought about it, he secretly made a decision:

"Anyway, this Yuwentai is not easy. At least within ten years, he will not be able to return to Dali."

"Before the turmoil brought about by the Five Elements Secret Realm passes, let's live in seclusion in Lu State honestly and avoid the limelight."

After finding out the details of Yu Wentai, he regretted that he had accompanied Master Haihe to meet Yu Wentai on the top floor of Tianbao Building.

Yu Wentai's understanding of the Five Elements Secret Realm is far beyond his imagination. Maybe he has some secret monitoring method that can see through his cultivation foundation.

Even the blood essence of the dragon carp that he got that day was full of doubts when he thought about it now. He even wondered if Yu Wentai secretly told Li Shuixian to find a chance to give the blood essence of the dragon carp to him.

"Fortunately, the blood essence of the dragon carp can confirm that there is no problem..."

Zhang Yao comforted himself in his heart.

With his understanding of the blood of the monster race, the degree of study, and the unique method of stimulating vitality, almost no one can tamper with the blood without being discovered by him.

If he didn't even have this bit of confidence, he wouldn't have used the blood of the dragon carp to engrave the formation directly after confirming that the test was correct.

"Let's go."

Zhang Yao took one last look at Wuyin Island, turned around and drove away in a hurry.

Out of fear of Yuwentai, he is not going to stay on Wuyin Island. Anyway, he will mainly consolidate his cultivation base and practice Taoism, and the external environment will not have much influence.

An hour later.

Zhang Yao built a new three-story bamboo building in the depths of Panlongling in Yunzhou, and started his life of seclusion.

It took him two and a half years to subdue his soaring mana realm little by little, and completely consolidated his cultivation in the later stage of foundation establishment.

After completely dispelling the sequelae caused by 'Kunyuan Lingye':
Zhang Yao re-refined the yellow talisman armour, using the 'Skylight Silver', 'Water Rhyme Ink' and other spirit metal treasures he collected earlier.

After so many years, thanks to his wealth and sufficient training materials, although he didn't pay much attention to the way of refining weapons, his level has also greatly improved, and he has reached the second-level level.

It takes 81 days to refine the furnace at one go before it is considered complete.

Inside the bamboo building:

Five large silver talismans floated in mid-air, with stars twinkling in splendor.

The aura of these five silver talismans far surpassed the golden armor talisman he refined back then, and the spirit pattern on each talisman was different.

"good."

After Zhang Yao checked carefully, he showed a satisfied smile.

While practicing hard for many years, he did not let go of his practice of Taoism. After so many years, the profundity of Huangfu Taoism has long been beyond comparison.

This time, using top-notch second-tier treasure materials, combined with new-level refining techniques and yellow talisman Taoism, the power of the new yellow talisman armor has naturally undergone earth-shaking changes.

"This set of five armor yellow talismans, let's name it 'Five Spirits God General Talisman'."

Zhang Yao named these five cards.

The five-spirit god-general talisman is based on the gold-armored talisman, and Zhang Yao created part of the spirit pattern method to refine it.

And one of the important objects he referred to was the 'Five Elements Yunling Formation' in his body, especially the principle of mutual generation of the five elements, which greatly increased the fighting power of the five spirits.

The five-spirit god-general talisman manifests itself as a god-general alone. With the blessing of Zhang Yao's magic power, its combat power is comparable to that of a monk in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

The five great gods will unite and form a battle formation to attack each other, which is enough to match or even suppress the strong man who has completed the foundation establishment!
If it was put in the time of the Shuifu raid, this set of five-spirit god-general talismans alone would be able to take care of the prestigious and incomparable Dubu Taoist, and he would not need to burn his life energy to fight for his life.

From this we can see how powerful Zhang Yao, whose realm has skyrocketed to the late stage of foundation establishment, really has.

"The five-spirit god general talisman also possesses the ultimate ultimate move of incarnation as a soldier."

"Moreover, the realm broke through two layers, and my mana, spirit, body strength, and Taoism power all doubled and skyrocketed."

"With my current strength, besides Yu Wentai, I am afraid that I have no opponent in the foundation building period..."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yao felt much relieved.

Strength is always the foundation of everything. With his current combat strength, even if he bumps into the Jindan Patriarch, he has a certain degree of certainty in escaping.

"It's been almost three years, and I don't know what's going on in Dali..."

Although Zhang Yao thought so, he had no intention of turning back at all.

After re-practicing the five-spirit god-general talisman, he started to practice the Luopo Danghun Shenguang and the other auxiliary Taoisms collected over the years, including the tunneling Taoism he used earlier.

It will take at least several decades to master all these foundation building methods, and he has plenty of patience to wear down.

…………

Within the territory of Dali.

In the past three years, the wind direction in Da Li's cultivation world has gradually become impetuous.

The news that the Five Elements Secret Realm is about to open is no longer a secret, and it has spread more and more widely in Dali, causing countless waves.

Among the many second-rate forces, they tacitly stopped their disputes, waiting for the gluttonous feast opened by the Five Elements Secret Realm.

And in Tianbaolou headquarters in Qianzhou:

"It's almost time..."

Yu Wentai, who was dressed in a black robe, walked out of the dark room, showing a hint of satisfaction.

"Qian Le's cultivation went very smoothly, a little faster than I expected."

"Within three years at the most, he should break through to the completion of foundation establishment, and have the qualifications for the blood sacrifice to melt the soul..."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help showing a trace of regret:
"It is said that in the territory of Weiguo, where Qian Le was born, there was a qi refining monk who was more suitable as a breaker. He was born with a strong spirit and also practiced martial arts in the mortal world. He is really a talent."

"It's a pity, the person who was in charge at that time was a complete waste, the dignified foundation cultivator, and the assistance of the local family leader, were able to make people run under their noses..."

He recalled this incident to this day with regret and anger.

This Qian Le's aptitude is actually very average, just barely qualified. If it were replaced by that qi refining monk, he might be able to cultivate to the perfection of foundation building 20 years earlier.

If that's the case, then his plan should have been completed long ago, and he wouldn't have survived until now, until his lifespan was almost exhausted.

"Forget it, if you miss it, you will miss it after all."

"It's been too long, the Qi Refining cultivator may have died of old age, no matter how much you regret it, it's meaningless..."

Yu Wentai returned to the top floor, sat alone in the hall, groaning silently.

"And that Qingxu Daoist from the GCC."

"The origin of this person is unpredictable, even the Tianbao Building can't find out, and most likely he is not from the territory of Dali."

"However, no matter what his background is, since he has practiced the "Ten Thousand Transformation Du Tianzheng", it can be regarded as a great surprise."

"Even though it can't be used for the blood sacrifice to melt souls, it's still very useful in secret realms..."

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile:
"Exactly, time is running out."

"It's time to find this guy and have a formal showdown with him. I hope he is a man of flattery..."

three days later.

Fangzhou, in the Cangjiang Water Mansion.

Yu Wentai was dressed in a black robe, walking inside the Water Mansion with his hands behind his back, admiring the scenery of the Crystal Palace.

The qi refinement disciples patrolling, and even the foundation building master who happened to pass by, turned a blind eye to him.

Not even the powerful formation covering the entire Water Mansion, or even the layers of defense parading in the Cangjiang River, did not send out any warning signals.

"This guy is lucky to get a copy of Kunyuan Spiritual Liquid."

Yu Wentai looked leisurely, while roaming, he was still thinking about the goal of this trip.

"But that's okay, the stronger he is, the more he will help me."

He obviously hadn't considered the scenario where Daoist Qingxu would reject him.

He is not good at persuading others, but he can often offer prices that others cannot refuse.

Soon, Yu Wentai came to the deepest part of the Water Mansion, which is the cave of the GCC Lord.

This is the center of the entire Water Mansion formation, and various protection and alarm formations are layered upon layer, densely stacked.

Due to the long-term retreat of Daoist Qingxu, all the formations have been opened, even Peng Yuexian, who is temporarily in charge of the GCC, is not eligible to enter.

But all of this can't help Yu Wentai.

"Bah..."

With an inaudible sound, five colors of brilliance glowed on Yu Wentai's body, and he walked straight into the formation like that.

Wherever the five-color brilliance passed, he seemed to be covered with a layer of extremely slippery fish skin, which automatically 'slid' and opened layers of formation restrictions without causing any alarm.

finally--

Yu Wentai performed a small wall-penetrating technique, easily penetrated the portal and entered the cave.

"Ok?"

After entering the cave, Yu Wentai realized something was wrong.

The entire cave was actually empty, without any breath of living people. He checked it carefully several times, but found nothing.

"That person is not in his cave?"

Yu Wentai stood in the quiet room, his expression a bit ugly.

"Then where did he go?"

As the dignified leader of the GCC, why did he leave his lair for no reason?

Not to mention, he has just swallowed and refined the Kunyuan Spiritual Liquid, which is the time when he most needs to retreat and surrender his mana. What place is safer than his lair?

"Unless...he has something he has to do, and this matter is even more important than consolidating his realm, and he can't see the light, and must be concealed."

"Or, he feels that he is in great danger, so he abandons his lair and foundation, and sneaks away..."

In Yu Wentai's mind, all kinds of possibilities were pierced in an instant, and the brows could not help but become solemn.

"Would he... notice something?"

He hadn't thought about it before, but the strange disappearance of the other party made him alert instantly.

The other party is also a person who practiced the "Wan Hua Du Tian Zhen Jing", and he kept it very secret. He must be highly sensitive to the Five Elements Secret Realm, the Battle of the Five Schools, and other related matters.

Under such circumstances, it is not impossible for the other party to really notice something unusual after contacting him, presenting dragon carp blood essence and other events, as well as communicating with Fu Haizong's Haihe real person.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and he never thinks that there are no smart people in the world except himself.

The most important point is-

His plan has been planned for so many years, and it has come to the last moment to announce the outcome. There is no room for any unexpected situation, and any possibility must be killed in advance!

As for Master Qingxu's identity as the leader of the GCC, and the close relationship between the other party and the GCC, if there is any sabotage, it will definitely be enough to pose a sufficient threat to his plan.

"I thought I was just a pawn on the chessboard, but I didn't expect that there is a possibility of becoming the winner..."

Yu Wentai squinted his eyes, and the expression on his face gradually turned cold:
"It's better to kill the wrong one than to let it go!"

"If you have been wronged, it can only be your bad luck."

With this in mind, Yu Wentai immediately mobilized his mana, displayed a series of mysterious Taoist techniques, and began to trace the remaining traces in the cave.

He performed seven or eight different Taoist methods one after another, some of which were even superior methods that other Zhuji Daoists had never heard of or seen before.

"In the closed environment, the aura did not fluctuate significantly, which proves that it did not escape recently."

"...He didn't leave through the secret treasure, it seems that he doesn't have such a big background as I imagined."

"...Looking at the traces of the center of the formation, it has probably been running for almost three years..."

"Huh? I found it! It turned out that it ran away from the ground!"

Yu Wentai's expression changed, and he finally grasped a crucial clue.

Many people don't know that the movement of mountains and rivers has its own laws. If you escape from the ground, the abnormal traces of the mud stratum can remain for many years.

It's just that this kind of abnormal trace, most Taoism and spells, let alone tracking, can't even detect it.

But in front of the mysterious Taoism mastered by Yu Wentai, this kind of trace is as conspicuous as fireflies in the dark night, and can be traced all the way.

"Since you didn't choose to strike first, you won't be able to escape!"

Yu Wentai's expression was cold, and killing intent was already filling his heart.

With a slight movement of his body, his whole body also activated the Tunneling Method, following the traces.

"I want to see where you will go..."
