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

Chapter 267 The silver lining

Under the metamagnetic barrier:

The figures of Zhang Yao and Ancestor Mingyuan were as small as floating, and the atmosphere was oppressive and dead.

"It's a big trouble now..."

Zhang Yao's face was as gloomy as water, and his mind was filled with confusion.

If he could not leave the underground world, then his plans to go to Jingguo to participate in the Taiyin Tide Festival and join forces with Tongxing Arhat would all come to nothing.

He has an unlimited lifespan, so he is not afraid of waiting or worrying that he will die of old age.

But if he really has to wait hundreds or even thousands of years before going out, the world will change, events will change, and the world will change. Then many clues he has collected and many efforts he has made will be in vain. This is unacceptable to him.

"Is it true that God wants to destroy me?"

Ancestor Ming Yuan murmured to himself, and his whole person became a little depressed.

Hundreds of years of planning and hundreds of years of hard work, seeing that the long-cherished wish has been achieved, suddenly went to waste. This kind of blow is unimaginable to ordinary people.

He was able to hold on without a mental collapse, which was considered to be determined.

"Fellow Daoist Ming Yuan, there is no need to despair."

Zhang Yao still had some confidence in his heart, so he comforted him:

"The sky is the limit, maybe we can figure out a way to escape from the underground world?"

"Method?"

Ancestor Ming Yuan smiled bitterly:

"Is there any other way? At least I can't think of it..."

"This……"

Zhang Yao pondered for a moment, thought seriously for a while, and then said:

"We are unable to break this magnetic barrier, but what if we pay a price and ask the strong Zhuo cultivators of the Wujin tribe to take action?"

After the Kuroshio ends:

The Yuan Magnetic Barrier has returned to an indestructible level. Most Golden Core cultivators find it difficult to shake it, let alone break through a passage. Even just breaking through a gap requires strength comparable to or at least close to the Nascent Soul level.

They didn't have such ability, but the Wujin tribe definitely had powerful men who were comparable to the Nascent Soul stage, such as the clan leader Wuluo whom he had met before.

"Qingxu, you think too simply."

Ancestor Mingyuan understood what he meant, shook his head and said:

"The situation I told you is limited to the first layer of the metamagnetic barrier, which is the barrier that separates the surface and deep layers of Mo Yuan."

"The Yuan Magnetic Barrier is stronger and stronger each layer. This third layer of Yuan Magnetic Barrier will probably require a great monk at the late Nascent Soul level to break through."

"Let's not talk about whether there is such a terrifying and powerful person in the Wujin tribe. Even if there is, he is probably a role that suppresses the fate of the clan and stabilizes the sea."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to invite such an existence, and the most important thing is..."

Having said that, he paused for a moment before speaking:

"This seems to be some kind of taboo place for the Wujin tribe."

"There seems to be some reason behind this that makes them never come close to here, let alone break the magnetic barrier for us."

After listening to his words:
"……I understand."

There was a hint of understanding on Zhang Yao's face:
"In other words, if we want to go out now, we have to rely on ourselves."

"..."

Ancestor Ming Yuan raised his head, looked at the vast Yuan Magnetic Barrier, and remained silent without speaking.

"boom!"

Zhang Yao withdrew his gaze, set up his escape light and rushed upward.

His whole body felt like a quagmire, and the pressure of the magnetic force was getting stronger and stronger. Even his magic power was being suppressed. The escape light was almost extinguished, but it was still getting closer to the magnetic barrier.

finally--

It took him less than a quarter of an hour to cross the distance of hundreds of feet with difficulty and arrived in front of the invisible and qualityless magnetic barrier.

At a very close distance, the vast force distorted and compressed the invisible magnetic field into something almost substantial. It was a dim blue light curtain, full of disillusionment like a soap bubble.

But just such a thin layer of light curtain, like a soap bubble, has become an iron wall that seals off the underground world.

"Om..."

Zhang Yao stretched out his hand and pressed it tightly against the light blue light screen, his whole body was filled with mana.

"Qingxu, no need to waste your efforts!"

Ancestor Mingyuan shouted from below:
"It's useless, the magnetic barrier here is simply not something we can shake!"

Zhang Yao turned a deaf ear to his words and used all his magic power to press on him bit by bit.

Ancestor Mingyuan looked at him helplessly, and when he was about to persuade him again, Zhang Yao's voice suddenly came to his ears:
"Fellow Daoist Ming Yuan... I'm afraid you are wrong."

"what?"

Ancestor Ming Yuan raised his head subconsciously, and suddenly froze on the spot, his expression showing extreme astonishment.

The light blue light screen that was indestructible in his eyes was actually pressed by Zhang Yao to create a shallow palm print!
Even though the palm print was so shallow that it was almost negligible, it actually appeared, completely subverting Ancestor Ming Yuan's imagination.

"How is this possible?"

His eyes were full of shock, and his heart was filled with rage.

"call……"

Zhang Yao withdrew his palm, took a few deep breaths, and then said slowly:

"The magnetic barrier has undergone sudden changes, and the old experience may no longer be applicable."

"Just like this magnetic barrier, although it is still indestructible, it is far from the strength it should be..."

When he said this, he thought carefully before speaking:

"I guess... it should be similar to the original first layer of magnetic barrier."

"Is that so..."

Ancestor Ming Yuan's expression changed drastically, and after a long time he smiled bitterly:
"On the contrary, I was conservative and stubborn, and almost killed both of us." "Fortunately, Taoist friend Qingxu didn't believe my judgment and found a new way of life..."

When he said this, he changed the topic again and said with a solemn expression:
"However, although this magnetic barrier has been weakened by most of it, it is still extremely difficult to break it."

"I'm afraid that only those who are at the limit of the golden elixir in the nine mansions of Tianzhou, and even those who are known as the invincible golden elixir, have the ability to break it!"

"Oh?"

When Zhang Yao heard this, his expression moved slightly and he said:

"Is there such a powerful person among the nine mansions in Tianzhou?"

"Of course there are."

Ancestor Mingyuan sighed and said:

"As the saying goes, same people have different fates."

"Those of us who are from casual cultivators have to go through a lot of hardships if we want to achieve the golden elixir. But for the core geniuses from the Nine Heavens Alliance, refining Qi, building foundations, and getting the golden elixir all have a smooth journey."

"They practiced the Mystic Code of Transformation. Along the way, they had mentors at the Nascent Soul level who gave them advice and guidance. They developed unimaginable tyrannical magical powers. They were in charge of Nascent Soul level magic weapons and even ancient spiritual treasures."

"Such a genius will only grow bigger and bigger as his cultivation continues to advance, and his combat prowess and that of monks at the same level will only grow bigger and bigger, and other monks can only look up to him."

"The best ones among them are respected as the golden elixir limit and the golden elixir invincible. They are recognized as the seeds of the Nascent Soul."

Zhang Yao heard this and said thoughtfully:

"In other words, these people have to master the explosive power close to the Yuan Ying level, so they can hope to break through the Yuan magnetic barrier and open a gap."

"Correct!"

Ancestor Mingyuan looked at Zhang Yao and said solemnly:

"I know my abilities very well. Even if I reach the perfection of the golden elixir, I can only shake the magnetic barrier. There is no hope of breaking it."

"But you are different!"

"The major sects of the Tianshi lineage are all mysterious and powerful. They are famous even in the nine houses of Tianzhou!"

"Although I don't know much about the lineage of Five Elements Celestial Masters that you inherited, I guess that there should be explosive means to suppress the bottom of the box..."

"good."

Zhang Yao admitted it openly and said:

"I have the magical power of the five-phase divine wheel. I have never broken through the middle stage of the golden elixir in the Earthly Milk Heavenly Lake before, just to cultivate this special magical power."

"After it is refined, and then it can be broken through to the middle stage of the golden elixir, I am actually not sure whether it can break through the magnetic barrier."

Ancestor Mingyuan heard this and showed a smile:
"It doesn't matter if you are not sure, at least there is a glimmer of hope!"

No matter how slim a glimmer of hope is, it is still much better than total despair.

The current situation is much better than before, and Ancestor Ming Yuan does not dare to hope for anything more.

"Let's go back to the Wujin tribe first!"

Ancestor Mingyuan said:

"I suspect that the premature closure of the metamagnetic barrier is related to the underground mutation mentioned before."

"They probably don't know the news yet. Telling them this key information is just a favor to them."

When he said this, he touched his chin and said:

"With this favor, I should be able to buy you a chance to retreat in Diru Tianchi."

"This is probably our only chance, Qingxu, you must seize it!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Yao nodded and agreed:
"Then just do what fellow Taoist said."

He wanted to perfect the 'Infinite Shadow Movement' and then perfect it to create the Five Phase Divine Wheel. Obviously, it could not be achieved overnight.

While he was practicing his magical powers, he had no requirements for the aura environment, but he definitely wouldn't be able to break through to the middle stage of the golden elixir.

Within the Wujin tribe, the only place that can provide a normal aura environment is the Earthly Milk Heavenly Lake.

"Let's go!"

Ancestor Mingyuan said hello, took the lead in setting up the escape light and turned back, followed closely by Zhang Yao.

…………

More than two hours later.

"what?"

Wuhe was shocked when he heard what Zhang Yao and Ancestor Mingyuan said.

He was originally very surprised when he heard the report from his samurai that the two men had gone and returned, and now he was even more shocked when he heard the information the two men brought back.

"The magnetic barrier closed early... How is this possible?"

Wuhe murmured to himself, his expression full of disbelief.

"Ok?"

Seeing him like this, Zhang Yao and Ancestor Mingyuan looked at each other and both noticed something strange.

The Wuhe in front of him seemed to know something inside, so much so that when faced with the news, he behaved even more rudely than the ancestor of Ming Yuan.

"Two."

Wuhe quickly came to his senses and said in a deep voice:
"The news you brought is of great importance. On behalf of the Wujin tribe, I thank you!"

"I would like to ask you two to take a rest for a while. I will go to meet my father immediately and report the news to him."

"Okay, Young Patriarch, please."

Zhang Yao and Ancestor Mingyuan naturally follow the good deeds.

Soon, the two of them, led by a samurai, went to a spacious building similar to a pavilion to rest.

Wuhe, on the other hand, harnessed the auspicious cloud-like escaping light and flew past quickly, arriving at the clan chief's palace as quickly as possible.

"Father! Father..."
