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

Chapter 189
"There is no way to go on like this..."

The eyes of Master Haihe are full of worry, his figure is obviously thinner than before, and there are a few strands of white hair on his temples.

About a year ago:

In the battle of Fubohai, his master Wanchuan Patriarch used his sect background and desperately escaped from the siege of the three clans.

The Haitian Floating Island had already been severely injured, and after being forced to hide for tens of thousands of miles, it could no longer hold on and fell into the sea. Ancestor Wanchuan also fell into a severe coma.

When the dragons were leaderless and the people were in panic, the real Haihe was appointed in the face of danger and temporarily succeeded as the head of Fuhaizong, to stabilize people's hearts and stick to the overall situation when the ancestor Wanchuan was in a coma.

To date:

The ancestor Wanchuan was still unconscious, and Haitian Floating Island also drifted all the way to the extreme east of Fubo Sea, only tens of thousands of miles away from Dongfang Dayu.

"People on the island are floating, and there are many gossips."

"If the master still can't wake up, I'm afraid the hearts of all the disciples will gradually dissipate..."

Haihe real person thought of this, his heart became heavier, but he could only sigh helplessly.

For a whole year, he used the remaining phantom array to cover the island, closed the floating island and forbade them to go out, and ordered all the disciples, deacons, and elders to stay safe.

However, the turmoil brought about by sudden changes and leaving home cannot be calmed down in a short period of time. If the ancestor Wanchuan doesn't wake up for a day, Fu Haizong still lacks a real backbone.

"Sect Master Senior Brother!"

A divine thought suddenly came, full of surprise and excitement:
"Wake up! Master is awake!"

"really?"

Daoist Haihe was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, and immediately drove down the escape light.

Soon, he saw Patriarch Wan Chuan lying on the bed in the sleeping hall, pale and weak.

"You came……"

Patriarch Wanchuan nodded when he saw Reverend Haihe.

"Master, you finally woke up."

After Master Haihe got excited, he quickly sat down on the bed and reported the big and small things that happened in the past year in a concise and concise manner.

After listening to his report, Patriarch Wanchuan nodded slowly and said in a hoarse voice:

"You did a good job. It is right to temporarily close the floating island."

"The Zongmen suffered heavy losses and was kicked out of Dali territory. It is the time when people's hearts are impetuous. At this juncture, there must be no troubles."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, a glint of gloom flashed in his eyes:
"... Counting the time, it's almost time for the Breaker to complete his performance, and the Five Elements Secret Realm may have been reopened."

"It's a pity that we have contributed the most and worked hard to plan for hundreds of years, but in the end we ended up like a bereaved dog..."

Upon hearing this, Master Haihe said in a deep voice:

"This is also one of the reasons why many qi refining disciples and even elders in the sect are resentful."

"Many people even suggested that I should contact the Jindan cultivators in Dayu and come out to drive away the tigers and wolves. Even if we don't get any benefits, we can't make it easier for Lingyangzong and the others."

After listening to his words, Patriarch Wanchuan shook his head and said:
"Such unwilling, short-sighted fools don't need to pay attention."

"If you want to play exorcising tigers and devouring wolves, you must have the ability to exorcise tigers. With our current mess, if we contact the outside world rashly, I am afraid that we will lure wolves into the house and become ready-made fat on the lips of others."

Haihe real person nodded and said:

"I also have the same idea, so they are strictly prohibited from going out, and the blockade has been enforced."

Patriarch Wanchuan was silent for a while, and then said slowly:

"I don't have a long lifespan, but this time I was severely injured and hard to recover. I'm afraid I only have 30 to [-] years to live. During this period, I can't fight with others. Otherwise, after the First World War, I will probably die suddenly."

He stared at Master Haihe, and said word by word:

"In 20 years, you must break through the Jindan Realm and become the leader, otherwise I will die in peace!"

"……Yes."

Master Haihe took a deep breath, bowed his head and said:

"Master, don't worry, I will do my best!"

"Okay, that's good..."

Patriarch Wanchuan let out a long breath, as if he had lifted a heavy burden, and said slowly:
"In the past 20 years, we will temporarily close the mountain gate and hide in this fubo sea."

"Based on the accumulation of the sect's background, it is not a big problem to support it for 20 years; although the Qianyuan solid shape pill is gone, the rest of the spiritual things I prepared for you are still there, and your chance of breaking through the golden pill is still close to [-]%."

He said, his tone became more and more low:
"I only hope that the patriarchs will bless me, so that I can continue the Taoism of the Overcoming Sea Sect..."

…………

In the Five Elements Secret Realm.

Zhang Yao was wandering in the many small worlds on the outer layer, dropping a treasure from time to time and adjusting the formation slightly.

After decades of exploration by several Jindan forces, most of the outer layers of the Five Elements Secret were evacuated. Zhang Yao selected some treasures from his own collection and Yu Wentai's wealth as 'prizes'.

His goal is also very simple, it is to make the conflict more intense, to make the collection of soul energy faster and smoother, and to complete this crucial step earlier.

Compared with Jindan Dao, some second-level panacea and treasures are not worth mentioning.

"Does this count as making a nest before fishing?"

Thinking of this suddenly, Zhang Yao couldn't help laughing.

He was in a very good mood, wandering in many small worlds, watching the five elements revolving, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

It was not in vain for him to submerge in the core of the Five Elements Secret Realm for a whole year.

The first is the five-spirit god general talisman. He has completed the final re-refining step, making its power reach the limit level of the foundation-building period. Unless his talisman and weapon refining attainments break through to the third level, he will no longer be able to improve;
Secondly, he comprehended the memory and knowledge left by Yu Wentai in more detail, and learned more than one new Taoism, and his strength increased a lot again.

have to say:

With an extremely detailed memory for reference, practicing Taoism is as easy as revisiting it. In just one year, it surpassed the past decades, and Zhang Yao's various methods have made great progress.

Finally, and most importantly—

With the help of Yu Wentai's memory and his own personal investigation and fine-tuning, he is already very familiar with the whole secret place, and he has maximized his home court advantage, and is ready to "open the door to welcome guests".

Also in the lineage of Formation Formation and Body Formation, even if Liu Cang, the former Five Elements Sanman, is reborn, it may not be able to take away his control of the formation from the outside in an instant - this is where Zhang Yao's confidence lies.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as he had a thought, he immediately stepped out, disappeared into the outer small world, and returned to the core palace.

Inside the palace, outside a quiet room:
On one side of the glazed jade wall, a transparent hourglass is manifested by spiritual light, in which there are faint accumulations of quicksand of five colors, filling half of the hourglass.

"I have already saved [-]%, and there is [-]% left..."

Zhang Yao caressed the glazed jade, his eyes flickered:
"If everything goes well, it may take less than a month to complete the accumulation of soul energy."

The energy of the soul that has been accumulated is all left over from the exploration period of the five great golden elixir forces.

It's just that the manpower sent by each family was limited at that time. Although the exploration team was constantly changing, the total number of people who entered the secret realm was only more than 100 people, and they still couldn't get the required number.

And this time the secret realm reopens, Ling Yangzong and other three families will definitely come out to start a decisive battle, even if they eat alone, they can still gather the corresponding number of people.

"Um?!"

At this moment, Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the outside world with deep eyes:

"finally come……"

…………

Outside the gate of the secret realm, inside the rolling lava.

"Rumble..."

The infinite magma roared, and was repelled far away by the invisible force, forming a large pure land space.

At the core of this pure land, Patriarch Zhenyang was dressed in a red robe, wearing a purple gold crown, staring at the bronze gate with an ugly expression:

"Someone broke the seal?!"

Seeing that the secret realm was about to reopen, he also went to check it first to make sure there would be no mistakes.

Unexpectedly, it was just a routine inspection, but he found that the seal of the gate of the secret realm had been broken, and someone had sneaked into it before!

"Yu Wentai! He must have done this!"

Patriarch Zhenyang's expression was gloomy, and he immediately locked the suspicion on Yu Wentai.

He, Sanshan Patriarch, Dugu Tianyi and others had previously suspected that the mastermind behind the Tianbaolou massacre could be either Yu Wentai or a hidden Golden Core Realm from outside.

But now it seems that there is no hidden Jindan Patriarch at all, it was Yu Wentai who did it!

The Golden Core Realm cannot enter the Five Elements Secret Realm, and Yu Wentai happens to have an unknown number of Tier [-] secret treasures in his hands, which are enough to forcibly break the seal of the secret realm door.

"This is too bad..."

Patriarch Zhenyang felt a bit troublesome:
"I didn't notice for a while, but let this person take the lead, what should I do?"

It is obviously impossible to give up opening the secret realm at this moment, and the arrow has to be launched.

But Yu Wentai's threat is really too great. Facing him is almost the same as facing Jindan Realm when waiting for the Foundation Establishment monks to face him. How can they compete with him in the Secret Realm?

"It seems that we need to discuss with them..."

Patriarch Zhenyang had no choice but to turn back hastily and leave the range of Prison Gate Mountain all the way.

After an hour:

The three Jindan ancestors reunited on the top floor of Tianbao Building, discussing how to deal with the threat from Yuwentai:
"This person really doesn't know how to live or die!"

Patriarch Sanshan scolded angrily:
"He killed so many people, and once he drilled into the secret realm, he thought we couldn't do anything about him?"

"In my opinion, it's better to lay a net outside. If he has the ability, he will stay in the secret realm for a lifetime, otherwise he will die when he comes out!"

The bloody case in the council hall still haunts him to this day, and he can't wait to kill Yu Wentai as soon as possible.

Not to mention, the current Yu Wentai broke the seal and hid in the Five Elements Secret Realm in advance, and he has already stood clearly on the opposite side of them.

"strangeness……"

Dugu Tianyi frowned and said:

"What exactly does Yu Wentai want to do?"

During the last discussion, he had doubts about Yu Wentai's motives.

Looking back at it now, Yu Wentai's behavior before and after still puzzled him, and he couldn't figure out what his goal was at all.

He can only guess now, what key clues may Yu Wentai discover later, which is related to his chance to break through the golden core, so he didn't go far away, but hid in the Five Elements Secret Realm?
"It doesn't matter what he wants to do."

Patriarch Zhenyang's face was cold, and he said in a serious tone:
"He is a real threat now, and we must try to get rid of him!"

"Otherwise, we've worked so hard to train a Breakthrough Man for hundreds of years, and I'm afraid we'll have to make a wedding dress for him!"

"How to remove it?"

Patriarch Sanshan asked back:
"It's easy for you to say, but he is hiding inside the Five Elements Secret Realm, who can kill him?"

Patriarch Zhenyang's complexion remained unchanged, but his eyes suddenly darkened:
"That's up to you whether you want to part with it..."

Hearing his words, Patriarch Sanshan and Dugutian were taken aback for a moment, and then they suddenly realized that their complexions changed slightly:

"You mean...by that method?"

The second half of the words of Patriarch Sanshan has subconsciously turned into sound transmission of spiritual thoughts.

They didn't speak again afterward, and communicated with their spiritual thoughts throughout the whole process. From the expressions, it seemed that there had been a quarrel, but they finally compromised with each other.

"……what happened?"

In the underground palace, Yu Wentai, who was listening to the conversation of several people, frowned.

He hid his spiritual thoughts in the formation, which could avoid the induction of the ancestor Zhenyang and others, but the communication of spiritual thoughts between Jindan monks was not something he could spy on.

"Buzz!"

He withdrew his divine sense, and with the help of Tianbaolou's third-order formation, scanned the foundation-building principals belonging to the three schools and searched their memories.

He has served as the landlord for hundreds of years and has great power in his hands. He has secretly infiltrated the entire system of Tianbao Building into a sieve. All the members who have been waiting for a long time to build the foundation of the main building have the exquisite secret hands left by him, and they have become his pawns. and slaves.

It is through these eyes and ears that he can stay at home, know the changes in the outside world like the palm of his hand, and can also find out the details of the original crime, and lock down the real culprit Qingxu.

But this time, his method failed.

He checked the memories of many people, but he didn't find the answer he wanted. Obviously, there is a huge secret behind the tacit understanding between the three people including Patriarch Zhenyang.

"It seems that these people have cards I don't know about..."

Thinking of this, Yu Wentai wasn't too surprised.

Hundreds of thousands of years of inheritance, more than one generation of Jindan monks, it is normal to have a few cards.

"Who wins the deer, it is not yet known."

Yu Wentai withdrew his divine thoughts, continued to meditate and practice Qi, and grasped everything about this body.

The battle is imminent, and he has no more time.

…………

During the waiting of all parties, the time became extremely long.

Finally, the one-month deadline passed, and all forces gathered at the Tianbaolou headquarters in Qianzhou.

The Lingyang Sect, the Shanhe Sect, and the Dugu Clan are the leaders, followed by more than a dozen second-rate forces such as the Taihe Sect, the Xuanmen Society, the Dumen Zeng Clan, and the Changshan Yin Clan...etc.

Nearly [-] Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered together, which is a grand event that has never happened in Dali for a hundred years.

"Rumble..."

The escaping light tore through the sea of ​​clouds, and hundreds of flickers flickered.

After a short speech, the three Jindan Patriarchs led hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators southward, all the way to Liangzhou.

The Five Elements Secret Realm, which has been closed for more than 100 years, has finally ushered in its re-opening.
