Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 746 - 642: Daoist-Level Prodigies
’Master Han Yue?’
Upon hearing the long-unheard cold female voice, Lou Yi was taken aback.
The voice belonged to Master Han Yue, Gu Qingyue.
Her Divine Soul had been forced out of You Qingyi by Lou Yi and had been hiding within the silver needle magical artifact that he carried with him.
Lou Yi had once promised her that he would eventually rebuild a physical body for her.
Unexpectedly, she spoke up now.
’Fellow Daoist Gu, do you know what this is?’ Lou Yi asked.
’A blood-red lotus root that can greatly enhance body potential…apart from Blood Jade Lotus, I can’t think of another heavenly material or earthly treasure,’ Gu Qingyue said,
’In my time, the Blood Jade Lotus also had another name, known as the Dharma Body Lotus.
A millennium Blood Jade Lotus serves as the main material for crafting a Golden Core cultivator’s Dharma body.
If it’s of regular level, it can reshape the physical body for mortals or even low-tier cultivators.’
Gu Qingyue continued, ’Moreover, when Blood Jade Lotus appears, it comes in a large quantity; I might only use a few roots.’
’I see,’ Lou Yi said, ’Rest assured, I will fulfill my promise to you.’
He glanced at the Attribute Panel, finding that Blood Jade Lotus was quite beneficial to him as well:
Doppelganger (Beginner 0/600+1 Blood Jade Lotus)
Doppelganger talent is one of the most commonly used abilities.
Lou Yi eagerly anticipated what changes might come if he advanced to the proficient level.
’I hope you will keep your promise,’ Master Gu Yue said, returning to silence after saying this.
Lou Yi’s consciousness returned to reality, nodding, ’Fellow Daoist Shen makes sense; we’ll go together when the time comes.’
’Look, Fellow Daoist Liu also said so,’ Shen Ao said happily, suddenly finding Lou Yi much more agreeable.
With Lou Yi supporting Shen Ao, the others raised no objections.
Previously, Lou Yi had driven away the Soul Devouring bees, and although it was with the help of magical artifacts, his status and position held weight in everyone’s heart.
With the others’ support, Shen Ao felt more certain and led the group enthusiastically to find Gao Wenxuan.
Upon hearing this, Gao Wenxuan laughed heartily, ’With Brother Shen and all the talents assisting me, what worry do we have about the big matter failing?’
Beside him, Wan Xiaolou, the Beast Master Sect’s big-bearded cultivator who was always self-confident, nodded for the first time at Shen Ao, showing approval.
’Honestly, who among us came to Tianyuan not for the Golden Core path?’ Gao Wenxuan pondered suddenly, ’Gathering everyone together, isn’t it because there’s strength in numbers?
So that the benefits from fixed location secret realms and blessed lands don’t end up all taken by the disciples of those few sects!
The world believes that our Two Forms Sect cultivators should always follow closely behind Taiyi Sect.
But if that’s the case, we’ll only get what’s left over, where’s the fun in that?’
’The Five Elements Sect, Boundless Sword Sect, Mysterious Yin Sect, Lotus Sect, Taiyi Sect…the Seven Major Alliance Hierarch Sects have ruled the human race forces of the Vast Sea Realm for years untold.
Any Daoist or Buddha’s son from a major sect is unrivaled in the same realm.
The talented from ordinary sects, being able to withstand ten moves from them is already considered extraordinary.
Encountering them in Tianyuan, one must either submit and follow, or unite to resist,’ Wan Xiaolou, the Beast Master Sect’s big-bearded cultivator, said gravely.
’We came to Tianyuan not to become followers of major sect Daoists and Daoistesses; we all have the ambition to form a Core and ascend to immortality!
If they dare to seize our opportunities, we’re bound to cut them down with a sword!’ The speaker was Xiang Yong, a true disciple from the Northern Celestial Sword Sect.
He wore a simple dark Daoist robe, exuding a fierce aura.
’Haha, indeed, thanks to everyone’s assistance, this time that treasure will be easily obtained!’ Gao Wenxuan laughed.
’Are these major sect Daoists truly so terrifying?
Without even appearing, there’s already a crowd treating them as hypothetical adversaries?’
Being from the remote Northern Domain, Shen Ao, Jin Tingfeng, and the others could hardly understand the apprehension and even fear everyone had for the seven major alliance sect Daoists.
Due to deciding to lead participation in the ’big matter,’ Shen Ao and the others essentially became part of the inner circle.
Much of the conversation among disciples from major sects in the Central Continent’s heartland was no longer avoided.
’Taiyi Sect’s first Daoist, reportedly at a Spirit Platform cultivation above the Seventh Layer, is already planning to break through to Golden Core.
Cultivators in Tianyuan are all led by their second Daoist, Zhao Wushuang…’
’Boundless Sword Sect’s Daoist Su Xinghe recently had a clash with the Trench Patrol Guests in Jiaoxu District, having repelled them with a single sword strike!’
’It’s said that the Trench Patrol Guests in Shisu District were killed, and the Immortal Alliance has sent people to investigate, but progress is scarce…’
’Lingbao Sect has sent a true disciple, claiming True Monarch Blessed Land is the legacy of their sect, and they must secure the core inheritance.’
Lou Yi listened to the conversation of the crowd and gained quite a bit of information about the Tianjiao of the Central Continent.
He even heard about the death of “He,” which caused some reactions.
“This news travels quite fast,” Lou Yi was a bit surprised but, upon reflection, found it normal.
After all, though Tianyuan is vast, the cultivators within are all the talents of various sects, so the circle for spreading news is actually quite small.
At the same time, he became more aware of the influence of the seven Alliance Hierarch sects.
They are almost like the emperor sects of the cultivation realm, revered, admired, and feared by all other sects.
“Three days later, we will set off together. At that time, we will rely on you all, brothers!” Gao Wenxuan swept his gaze across the scene and spoke solemnly, setting the departure time.
“Okay!”
“No problem!”
“With so many of us together, we can even fight the Trench Patrol Guest, and treasures will definitely be within reach!”
The crowd responded one after another, morale was high.
Gao Wenxuan saw this and nodded in satisfaction.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned, and the next day the team encountered an unexpected event.
Lou Yi and his group were searching around the painting house for Heaven and Earth Wonders and spiritual creatures.
Suddenly, they heard the sounds of intense fighting and roaring coming from not far away, and they rushed over in shock.
Upon seeing the scene there, each one of them was even more astounded.
Four cultivators were fighting in front of them, three of whom they recognized.
There was the Sword Cultivator Xiang Yong of Beichen Sword Sect, a black flying sword like thunder slicing back and forth in the air, so fast that most people present could hardly catch it.
A black-skirted female cultivator from Youyue Sect seemed to be capable of channeling moonlight, surrounded by layers of white flowing light, with moon-white cold flames continuously flying out from her body.
The horse-faced cultivator from Jin Qian Sect certainly had cultivation not below the previous two, with a cultivation pinnacle above the Third Level of the Spirit Platform. Copper coins comparable to Top-grade Spiritual Artifacts shot out like meteors…
With the combined strength of the three, most Fourth Layer of the Spirit Platform cultivators were no match, and even those at the Fifth Layer felt somewhat challenged.
But the white-robed cultivator facing them remained calm and unhurried, a mere wave of his sleeve summoned large masses of clouds in various colors.
At times transforming into Jin Gang bracelets to bind the flying sword and copper coins, at other times into blue waves to extinguish the white spiritual flames, his magic was exquisite.
Anyone with vision could see he wasn’t putting forth full effort, merely playing around.
Yet he still firmly suppressed the Beichen Sword Sect cultivator and the others, leaving them sweating, faces flushed, with many wounds on their bodies.
“Should we help them?” Shen Aoqun hesitated.
Though not familiar, they were now nominally a team, just watching the others get beaten wouldn’t be right.
He looked at Lou Yi, seeking his opinion.
Somehow, Shen Aoqun had come to respect Lou Yi’s opinion on many matters.
Lou Yi did not respond but looked behind him.
There, a stream of black and white was rushing to the scene, revealing the figure of Gao Wenxuan, a disciple of Two Forms Sect, in the air.
Upon seeing his brothers being bullied, Gao Wenxuan felt a surge of anger.
Just as he was about to intervene.
Upon catching sight of the white-robed cultivator’s appearance, his pupils shrank, and for a moment he dared not act.
“You are… Zhuge Feng of Liu Yun Sect!”
Within a breath or two, the Liu Yun Sect cultivator in their group also arrived, his face changed drastically upon seeing this person.
“Brother Zhuge…”
Soon, people from Wan Xiaolou of Yushou Sect, Yuan Feng of Danxia Sect, and others from the team came one after another.
In total, nearly twenty of their own arrived on the scene, enough to make even a typical Trench Patrol Guest approach cautiously.
But what shocked Shen Aoqun, Jin Tingfeng, and the others was that no one dared to easily attack this person.
Meanwhile, the surrounding conversations made them aware of the extraordinary identity of this white-robed young cultivator.
“He is Zhuge Feng of Liu Yun Sect, who once fought fiercely with Zhao Wushuang, the second Daoist of Taiyi Sect, exchanging eighty or so moves, ultimately losing by a single move!”
“About ten years ago, when Zhuge Feng was at the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Platform cultivation and sparred with a Trench Patrol Guest without falling behind, it shook the entire Tianyuan.
Until now, no one knows what level he has reached; only that he is undoubtedly deep and immeasurable!”
“Zhuge Feng is a Tianjiao at the Daoist level, a true Tianjiao; Tianjiao must not be insulted.
We should first understand the situation before making any moves to avoid angering him…”
