The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 1005 Gu Yue Undergoes Major Cultivation and Advances in Cultivation

"Fellow Daoist Baosha."

Outside a vast mountain range and a magnificent palace complex, a middle-aged Taoist priest with a long, elegant beard and a whisk in hand greeted the Baosha Sanren, who was flying towards him in a flash of light amidst the yellow sand.

Elder Yan!

Baosha Sanren smiled, slowly concealing his escape light, and landed not far in front of the other party.

Yan Hua, one of the powerful elders of the Crimson Cloud Alliance, possesses formidable combat strength and has defeated a veteran cultivator who has been in power for many years.

Even if they are from the same realm, he must give them enough respect.

"Fellow Daoist Baosha, you've arrived. I've been waiting for you for quite some time." Yan Hua smiled warmly, but his words carried a hidden meaning.

"I hope Elder Yan will forgive the delays along the way."

Baosha Sanren looked apologetic and offered a few words of explanation.

"It's alright, it's good that you've come, fellow Daoist." Yan Hua waved his hand gently and welcomed Bao Sha Sanren inside.

Above the vast mountain range, a crimson and golden palace soars into the sky, its buildings and eaves forming a formidable array.

Although it wasn't his first time here, Baosha Sanren was still surprised by the scene before him.

Amidst his surprise, a thought flickered in his mind.

"I wonder what kind of atmosphere exists within the Temple of Wind and Cloud?"

As he pondered these thoughts, he couldn't help but yearn for and hope for the future.

want to come

Compared to the Crimson Sky Alliance, it is incomparable; it must be magnificent and overlook the world.

The two of them traveled inwards with their escape light, reaching the Crimson Cloud Alliance's headquarters, which spanned an entire mountain range and was incredibly magnificent. Even a Celestial Realm cultivator with great speed could not traverse it in a short time.

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, a streak of light, like a dark moon, flew in from the other side.

"It is Fellow Daoist Gu Yue."

Yan Hua smiled gently and recognized the owner of the escape light.

Upon hearing the news, Baosha Sanren looked over and saw a dark-moon-like man in the flash of light, wearing a long robe and with his hair flying in the wind, looking quite unrestrained.

The Ancient Yue Clan, the Ancient Yue First Cultivator, the Ancient Yue Great!

He traveled extensively, visiting many places, and had crossed paths with the other party before. However, they were not well acquainted.

"Fellow Daoist Yan." A smile appeared on Gu Yuezhong's unrestrained face.

Compared to Baosha Sanren, he appeared more composed and at ease when facing Yan Hua.

Yan Hua smiled softly and bowed in greeting.

As he spoke, Gu Yuezhong's gaze also fell on Baosha Sanren.

"Fellow Daoist Baosha."

“Fellow Daoist Gu Yue.” Bao Sha Sanren bowed in response.

"Fellow Daoist Gu Yue, what is this...?"

Gu Yuezhong had also come by invitation, and judging from the current situation, it seemed he was preparing to leave. Yan Hua couldn't help but ask him a few questions.

"I have troubled you for quite some time now that I have come to Chixiao, it is time for me to depart." Gu Yuezhong replied with a smile, his dark eyes resembling a crescent moon.

"I see."

Yan Hua nodded slightly, offered a few words of persuasion, but seeing that the other party's mind was made up, she did not try to persuade him further.

The Crimson Cloud Alliance meeting has long since concluded. Gu Yuezhong has been a member of the Crimson Cloud Alliance for quite some time, so his departure at this point is not surprising.

“Fellow Daoist Yan, if you have time in the future, please come to Gu Fang, so that I, Gu Yue, can do my best to be your host.”

"Definitely, definitely." Yan Hua's smile softened slightly.

After exchanging a few words, their escape lights flashed and they quickly parted ways.

Before parting, Gu Yue specially invited Bao Sha Sanren, saying that they could go together when he had time in the future. Wouldn't it be wonderful to exchange ideas and discuss the Dao with each other in the future?

Baosha Sanren behaved politely, exchanged a few words, and then took his leave.

"Gu Yuezhong is quite fond of socializing."

Bao Sha Sanren made a few comments in his mind, and then followed Elder Yan Hua of the Chixiao Alliance toward the main alliance.

Gu Yuezhong's escape light was extremely fast, like a new moon turning, and he left the mountain range in just a few moments.

"Baosha Sanren"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his face showing contemplation.

As a fellow cultivator of the same realm, he naturally had some understanding of Baosha Sanren. His combat strength was mediocre, but his Baosha technique had some unique methods.

And the endless yellow sand was quite impressive.

Intimidating cultivators at lower levels often has a remarkable effect.

"pity.

That's just something to fool the celestial beings in the lower realms.

Gu Yuezhong sneered, then quickly focused his gaze on the distance.

"Azure."

Although he was a member of the Crimson Cloud Alliance, he always paid the most attention to news from the surrounding areas of Gu Fang.

During this discussion, he happened to overhear about the great power of Bi Cang.

Since the old Prince of Bicang was seriously injured and critically ill, the long-standing struggle for the throne of Bicang has come to an end. The chosen successor has exceeded all previous expectations.

It was neither Ji Dongqing, Ji Xuanmo, nor Ji Shulan, but Ji Qingyu, who had never been considered a successor before.

Princess Bicang was a young girl who had not yet reached adulthood.

"This Ji Rucheng is getting more and more confused as he gets older. The position of Prince and the power of Bi Cang are actually handed over to a junior who has not even stepped into the realm of Celestial Beings!? It's simply absurd."

Gu Yuezhong's expression was playful. After a few cold laughs, a strong sense of interest and ambition appeared on his face.

“The blue sky bears too heavy a burden. Let our ancient Yue clan do some good deeds to share her burden.”

The passing of the old Prince of Bicang signifies the fall of the last Celestial Realm cultivator in the Bicang region. The Prince of Bicang's mansion is now devoid of any Celestial Realm cultivator.

To the ancient Yue clan, the land of Bi Cang was nothing more than a backyard garden where they could frolic at will.

In fact, if it weren't for the special reason of bloodline-based enfeoffment, the Guyue clan would have already been pressing forward and devouring Bi Cang's interests during the years when the old Prince of Bi Cang was seriously injured and critically ill.

How could we possibly wait until now!?

But things are fine now.

With the passing of the old Prince of Bicang, no successor has emerged to carry on his legacy and maintain his connections. Even with the unique privilege of hereditary fiefdoms, this prestige is unlikely to last long.

He will not violate any principles above all else, but there is a lot of room for maneuver when it comes to matters of principle.

A local overlord whose leader has never even reached the level of a Celestial Being is simply a joke.

Such a wondrous sight could probably only be seen in a bloodline-based inheritance system like the bloodline system!

Gu Yue's face showed a mocking expression, and his thoughts turned again.

"This trip to Chixiao achieved its intended purpose: severing the connection between Luanming Sect and Chixiao Alliance. Regarding the Luanming matter, even if Chixiao Alliance does not assist my Guyue Clan, it will absolutely not intervene to support Luanming Sect again. Even if Wan Baocheng is involved behind the scenes."

"Furthermore, how could Wan Baocheng be so pure, giving his all for love without expecting anything in return? In the end, all Wan Baocheng wants is Luan Yue alone."

The weaker the Luanming Sect is, the greater the crisis it faces, and the more likely Luan Yue is to compromise.

Ultimately, on this point, the interests of my Guyue clan and Wan Baocheng are aligned.

Gu Yue's thoughts shifted, his heart filled with heroic spirit and overflowing ambition. In the current situation, although the Luanming Sect showed signs of emerging, Gu Yue had formed alliances and consolidated his power, completely sealing off any potential for the Luanming Sect to rise.

The Green Wood Sect is confined to a corner of the world. Although that old ghost has made friends with all sides, his potential has been exhausted and he can no longer stir up any trouble.

In the Prince of Bicang's mansion, the old prince has passed away, and internal factional infighting has left him with only a young child as his successor.

Looking around, who could stand against Gu Yue's sharp edge?

"The power of the four directions should rightfully belong to my Guyue clan!" Guyue Chong's expression was excited, his eyes gleaming with ambition as he surveyed the world: "Guyue shall prevail!"

hiss hiss hiss~

The cold, pale flames burned in Chen Ping'an's palm, swaying and hissing as the cold wind howled.

Chen Ping'an closed his eyes slightly, sensing the strange fluctuations in the air.

The flames burned relentlessly, reflecting off his face and giving him an eerie appearance.

hum~

Chen Ping'an suddenly opened his eyes, a dark light flashing deep within them, as unfathomable as the depths of the underworld.

Whoosh!

The bone flames surged and rose rapidly upon hearing the sound, their chilling heat scorching the air and carrying a sense of deathly stillness.

Wow~

As Chen Ping'an's mind shifted, the bone flames scattered and stopped, then disappeared completely, along with the chilling aura in the arena.

Without the scorching glow of the bone flames, Chen Ping'an's face no longer possessed any trace of evil; instead, it was handsome and refined, with a gentle, jade-like appearance.

"The heat scorches all around, the corpse fire is complete, and it is about to reach its peak!"

Chen Ping'an looked at his palm, feeling the lingering loneliness, and made a detailed judgment.

Since he began studying the Yin Bone Inflammation Technique, he has been practicing Corpse Fire for several months.

Now, he is about to complete the first stage of the Yin Bone Flame Technique, Bone Flame. With a little more time to refine it, he will be able to cultivate it to a state of perfection.

At that time, it would also mean that he could officially begin to try the second stage of the Yin Bone Flame Technique, the Yin Bone Netherfire.

To cultivate Yin Bone Netherfire, besides having sufficient foundational knowledge and understanding of secret techniques, one also needs three spiritual objects as guiding aids.

Of the three spiritual items, he has already prepared the Yin Soul Jade and the Extreme Yin Grass.

However, there are still no clues about Yin Feng Sha.

Previously in Bicang Prefecture, he had intended to prepare this item in one go. However, after searching, he found nothing.

Perhaps, given the scale of commerce in Bicang Prefecture, if we spend a little more time and try our luck, we might be able to find Yin Feng Sha.

However, deliberately delaying for the sake of Yin Feng Sha is neither Chen Ping'an's style nor in his best interest.

After all, no matter how good Yin Wind Sand is, it is ultimately a supplementary material for cultivating a secret technique. Compared to the cultivation methods that can truly improve one's cultivation, its priority is much lower.

For Chen Ping'an, this was not the right thing to do.

"There's still some time before the Corpse Fire reaches its peak. There's still plenty of time! Besides, even if one tries to cultivate, one needs to delve into enough mysteries. Only with sufficient foundation can one attempt to cultivate using a guiding object."

There was a considerable amount of buffer time during this period.

"My cultivation has now reached the Great Cultivation stage, and my vision and foundation are now in line with the cultivation of Netherfire. Given enough time, this matter will not be difficult for me to succeed. What I really lack is the Yin Wind Sand, the material to attract it."

Within the city of Bi Cang Prefecture, Yin Wind Sand is extremely difficult to find. However, if one goes to Wen Tian City, Yin Wind Sand can certainly be purchased there.

Chen Ping'an was resolute.

Although Bi Cangzhou City is the central hub of a region, how can it compare to Wentian City?

Wentian City is a major city in the northern border, and its commercial influence is incomparable to that of Bicheng Prefecture City. It should be noted that there are quite a few powerful cultivators of the Celestial Realm who come and go in Wentian City.

Especially now, at this critical juncture when this mysterious realm of the underworld is about to open.

As is customary, a grand auction is held in Wentian City before and after the opening of the Netherworld Secret Realm.

At that time, all the gods and men will gather, and all the great repairs will be carried out. The magnificent scenery and grandeur will be enough to amaze people.

Although Yin Wind Sand is hard to find, it is not uncommon to purchase such a mere object within Wentian City.

"Once the Azure Dragon returns, we will go to Wentian City."

Chen Ping'an made his decision; his mind was made up.

Previously, in order to achieve the final perfection of the three-stage refinement method of Qingyang Blood Refinement, he sought fourth-tier treasure materials and fire-type essence, and thus intended to go to Wentian City.

It can be said that he had planned his trip to Wentian City long beforehand.

His decision to go to Wentian City now is not solely due to Yin Fengsha; he has other considerations as well.

There are many things to plan and do.

If the journey of the Azure Dragon goes smoothly, it should be properly settled within a month.

"A month later, Wen Tiancheng and his party arrived."

Chen Ping'an's eyes brightened slightly as he got up from the meditation room.

He had high expectations for the second stage of the Yin Bone Netherfire. Previously, the White Bone Grandmaster had caused him considerable trouble with this very fire.

If he hadn't already completed his body tempering, reached the pinnacle of the three refinements, and possessed the Golden Fire Wings, naturally being close to the fire element and wielding the divine power to control fire, he would probably have suffered a great loss back then.

Under normal circumstances, Yin Bone Netherfire poses a considerable threat to the cultivation of Heaven and Man.

This is also one of the reasons why the White Bone Cultivation Sect has become a veteran cultivation sect.

Even a single flame poses such a threat. If it were to be unleashed in conjunction with other methods, even a powerful cultivator would likely be overwhelmed.

Furthermore, given Chen Ping'an's spiritual aura and the results of his cultivation of the Azure Spirit Heart Method, the power of the Yin Bone Netherfire he unleashes is likely even greater than that of the White Bone Grandmaster of the past.

It can be said that the Yin Bone Netherfire may become one of his means to compete with top cultivators.

If, in the future, the Yin Bone Netherfire can advance further and cultivate into the Yin Bone Dark Flame, then...

Even top-tier cultivators would feel their scalp tingle and be deeply wary upon seeing it.

With his profound knowledge, such secret techniques like Bone Flame must be something that even Wan Baocheng, who is known as the number one cultivator in the North Sea, would not easily ignore.

Wan Baocheng is known as the number one Celestial Cultivator in the North Sea. His combat strength is naturally above that of top-tier cultivators, making him the most outstanding among Celestial Cultivators.

It is said that in the sea, Wan Baocheng's combat power is comparable to that of a Great Celestial. However, outside the sea, Wan Baocheng's combat power is significantly weakened.

The main reason is the top-tier treasure he possesses, the Deep Sea Flag, which emphasizes the advantage of terrain.

The deep-sea flag can summon wind and rain and stir up waves, but outside of the sea, although it can still be used, its power is diminished due to the lack of terrain.

In addition, Wan Baocheng's main cultivation techniques are all related to water. If he were to go to the Western Wilderness or the desert, although he would still have considerable power, he would probably find it difficult to compete with the Great Celestials.

Chen Ping'an's emotions shifted, his eyes brightened slightly, and a clear light converged before him, revealing information on the panel.

"5025 points."

Progress is over 30% complete! 70% remaining.

Chen Ping'an's gaze sharpened, and his thoughts immediately subsided.

If he masters the Returning to Origin True Scroll, his combat strength will increase even further. At the same time, he will also master a true area-of-effect killing move, a strike that combines the essence of fingers, palms, and fists.

In Chen Ping'an's mind, such power was enough to kill a veteran cultivator in one blow.

Beishan Pass is a place of many complexities, with bustling local noise and discussions about the future of Bicang.

In addition, there were some dissenting voices mentioning the Azure Dragon Gu family and the birth of a newly promoted Celestial Being.

Under such circumstances, Chen Ping'an remained unmoved.

Three days later, having yet to receive the true skill scroll and the inheritance of the Free and Unfettered Wandering Technique, Chen Ping'an left Beishan Pass and headed towards the Canglong Prefecture. (End of Chapter)
