296. Chapter 296 Before Fighting Against The Outside World, You Must First Settle Down At Home!
Library.
Liu Zimo was completely dumbfounded.
He hadn't even finished his meal when three "good brothers" consecutively perished, with constant notifications ringing in his ears.
[Your good brother, Xiao Bofang, had a string of bad luck and misfortunes, and was killed with a single palm strike, his soul extinguished!]
['Stealing Heaven' Talent attribute triggered passively, you inherit half of the remaining gifts from your good brother Xiao Bofang before his death, Golden Body Fire Cloud Technique +1000, Blood Escape Secret Technique +1000, Immortal Dao Cultivation Base +1000, Spiritual Sense +1000, Sea of Consciousness Space +100000.]
[Your good brother Xiao Bofang has gone offline, currently available binding targets (568/1000).]
[...]
[Your good brother Tang Shanhe had a string of bad luck and misfortunes, and was killed with a single palm strike, his soul extinguished... currently available binding targets (566/1000).]
Liu Zimo never expected that even Xiao Bofang, who was at the Nascent Soul Eighth Realm, would die so easily outside the mountain gate!
And there were Tang Shanhe and Xu Nansheng.
Liu Zimo had already sentenced them to death in his heart, and was just waiting for this period of time to pass before reaping these two leeks.
But before Liu Zimo could make a move, these two guys unexpectedly died so easily!
Terrifying!
Liu Zimo felt a chill rising in his heart.
He wondered what kind of existence Qingyun Immortal Gate had provoked to be blocked and killed like this!
Tang Shanhe and Xu Nansheng were only at the Nascent Soul Fourth and Fifth Realms of Cultivation Base, even Liu Zimo could easily kill them.
But Xiao Bofang was different.
Xiao Bofang was a genuine Nascent Soul Eighth Realm, with a Cultivation Base Realm higher than Liu Zimo's.
If Xiao Bofang couldn't last more than three breaths in the hands of the other party, then if it were Liu Zimo, wouldn't he meet the same fate?
Boom!
At this moment, a massive surge of Immortal Dao Cultivation Base and Spiritual Sense Cultivation Base erupted within Liu Zimo's body.
Liu Zimo quickly restrained his mind and rapidly devoured and refined them, taking this opportunity to continuously enhance his own Cultivation Base strength.
The nearly two thousand years of increase in Immortal Dao Cultivation Base surged through Liu Zimo's meridians, impacting his blood and energy.
In an instant, Liu Zimo's Cultivation Base Realm was pushed from the previous Nascent Soul Seventh Realm high rank to the peak of the Nascent Soul Seventh Realm!
After that, without any Cultivation Base bottleneck, Liu Zimo smoothly advanced to the Nascent Soul Eighth Realm, just like walking on a well-trodden path.
Then, Nascent Soul Eighth Realm initial stage, Nascent Soul Eighth Realm mid rank!
It was only when he reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Eighth Realm mid rank that the breakthrough progress finally stopped!
Others needed to go through thousands of years or even longer to break through to a certain Cultivation Base Realm, but Liu Zimo achieved it effortlessly in less than a few breaths!
Fortunately, his aura was not apparent, and no one could detect the anomaly on him. Otherwise, even the "sweeping monk" like the Keeper of the Books would be shocked.
It should be noted that the Nascent Soul Ninth Realm was the First Stage of the Nascent Soul.
Starting from the Nascent Soul First Realm, each level of advancement required double the amount of Immortal Dao Cultivation Base compared to the previous level, and also faced various bottlenecks.
Under normal circumstances, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Seventh Realm would almost have no chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Eighth Realm without enduring one or two thousand years of torment and polishing!
And someone like Liu Zimo, who directly advanced two stages in a single day, from the Nascent Soul Sixth Realm to the Nascent Soul Eighth Realm, was truly unprecedented!
Even those old relics who had undergone rebirth and walked the path of cultivation again could not achieve such rapid breakthrough progress!
However, even so, Liu Zimo didn't feel much joy in his heart.
What about the Eight Realms of Nascent Soul?
Just like Xiao Bofang, who was killed as soon as he stepped out of the door?
After witnessing Xiao Bofang's death, Liu Zimo felt extremely insecure.
The relaxed and even complacent mood he had because of his easy breakthrough to the Seventh Realm of Nascent Soul instantly collapsed.
This was the first time he truly witnessed the attacking methods of a Transcendent realm Apex Level expert.
Too powerful!
Completely unmatched!
If he were in Xiao Bofang's position, he would probably have no ability to fight back and could only wait for death with his eyes closed!
But this is definitely not what Liu Zimo wants to see!
Originally, he planned to stay at the Qingyun Immortal Gate until the peak of the Nascent Soul realm or even the God Transformation Realm, but now he became uncertain because of this sudden conflict!
What if the Qingyun Immortal Gate fails to withstand the attacks of these external forces?
What if something unexpected happens to the guardian in this conflict?
The biggest reliance he has for living peacefully at the Qingyun Immortal Gate is the guardian.
If something happens to the guardian, would Zhong Ten Thousand Year still be polite to him?
Swoosh!
Liu Zimo's mind moved as he noticed that the guardian, who had been staying in the library and refusing to go out, had actually left the library and headed straight for the Qingyun Great Hall!
Obviously.
Even the guardian feels that this is a critical moment for the survival of the Qingyun Immortal Gate.
If even a big shot like the guardian has to personally go out to face the enemy, one can imagine how bad the situation at the Qingyun Immortal Gate has become.
"If I start running now, will I still make it in time?"
Liu Zimo put the last bite of food from his bowl into his mouth and muttered softly.
However, without the guardian's supervision, he is now much freer, and if he feels that the situation is not right, he doesn't mind leaving early.
"Zhong Ten Thousand Year, dare to kill a disciple of my Broken Star Hall, come out and die now?!"
"Zhong Ten Thousand Year, you coward, even when people are cursing you to your face, you still don't dare to show yourself. No wonder the Qingyun Immortal Gate is becoming more and more pathetic under your leadership!"
"In my opinion, the Qingyun Immortal Gate might as well change its name to the Turtle Immortal Gate!"
"Hahaha! Turtle Immortal Gate..."
The voices of cursing outside the mountain gate continued, and they became increasingly offensive.
The disciples of the Qingyun Five Peaks, who were unaware of what had just happened, were all indignant and gathered in front of the Great Halls of their respective peaks to request battle.
However, Zhong Ten Thousand Year still remained silent and stayed hidden in the Qingyun Great Hall.
Joking aside, even Xiao Bofang, who had the same realm and similar cultivation base as him, couldn't last for more than three breaths. If he were to go out, he would just be delivering food to others, okay?
At this moment.
Zhong Ten Thousand Year stood respectfully in front of Xing Yuzhu and the guardian Jing Zongyang, assuming an attitude of relying entirely on the two seniors to make the decision.
"So even Huo Primordial Yang has come?"
"It seems that the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate and the Broken Star Hall really want to swallow our Qingyun Immortal Gate in one go!"
When the guardian mentioned Huo Primordial Yang, Xing Yuzhu's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
Huo Primordial Yang is the founder of the Suixing Palace and was once an unparalleled genius who dominated his era!
The Suixing Palace was able to establish itself in the Qingyun Immortal Domain and quickly advance to the seventh-level Immortal Gate within just ten thousand years, and Huo Primordial Yang played an indispensable role in this achievement.
Although Xing Yuzhu is the ancestor of the Emerald Bamboo Peak, she admits that she is far inferior to Huo Primordial Yang in terms of talent and aptitude.
At least, Huo Primordial Yang has not reached his limits yet and has not given up his physical body to undergo rebirth.
On the other hand, Xing Yuzhu's physical body collapsed two thousand years ago, and she had to choose a Human Cauldron to be reborn.
If it weren't for her physical collapse, Xing Yuzhu might still be able to hold her own against Huo Primordial Yang for a while and buy some time for the Guardians of the Books.
But now, she hasn't even restored her cultivation base to the Nascent Soul realm, let alone become a match for Huo Primordial Yang, who is at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.
Although she also has her own trump cards, once she uses them, she will lose most of her origin and foundation.
It is now unlikely for her to advance to a higher rank in the Nascent Soul realm within ten years and quickly restore herself to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Xing Yuzhu really doesn't want to use them.
"At the moment, I have only discovered the existence of Xingyue Old Ancestor and Huo Primordial Yang. As for whether there are other hidden peak Nascent Soul cultivators, I cannot be sure!"
The Guardian of the Books spoke softly, expressing his concerns and worries.
It should be noted that even a single Illusory Moon Immortal Gate has three peak Nascent Soul cultivators as its ancestors.
Previously, when the three ancestors of the Qingyun Immortal Gate were still alive, they naturally had no fear of the threat from the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate.
But now, the situation is completely different!
The three ancestors of the Qingyun Immortal Gate have all fallen, leaving only him, the Guardian of the Books, with the power of the peak Nascent Soul realm.
Facing three or even four opponents, he is undoubtedly destined to be defeated!
"Damn it!"
At this moment, Zhong Wanqian angrily interjected, "I knew it! The Illusory Moon Immortal Gate has ambitious plans. The deaths of the three ancestors must be related to them!"
The three ancestors just fell yesterday, and today the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate and the Suixing Palace launched an attack. Who would believe that this was not planned and premeditated?
Xing Yuzhu and Jing Zongyang both glanced at Zhong Wanqian and nodded slightly.
Obviously, they also agreed with Zhong Wanqian's statement.
However, there was one thing that they couldn't figure out.
That is, the three ancestors have always been in the Qingyun Great Hall, which is protected by layers of formations and is extremely safe!
How did the other party silently infiltrate the heavily guarded Qingyun Great Hall and effortlessly kill the three ancestors with peak Nascent Soul strength?
They asked themselves.
Whether it was Xing Yuzhu or the Guardian of the Books, they all admitted that they couldn't achieve such a perfect and flawless operation.
So, under normal circumstances, even if Xingyue Old Ancestor or Huo Primordial Yang personally infiltrated the Qingyun Immortal Gate, they would not be able to do this!
"Traitor!"
Xing Yuzhu and the Guardian of the Books exchanged glances and simultaneously uttered these two words.
If nothing unexpected happens, there is still a higher-ranking traitor in the Qingyun Immortal Gate, especially in the main peak of Qingyun!
It is precisely because of his or their cooperation that the other party was able to successfully infiltrate the Great Hall, destroy the Spirit Gathering Formation, and assassinate the three ancestral masters.
"A traitor?!"
Upon hearing the words from Xing Yuzhu and the guardian, Zhong Ten Thousand Year couldn't help but furrow his brows.
Previously, they had already exposed eleven Elder-level spies within the mountain gate, including some of his most trusted Nascent Soul stage junior disciples.
But now, according to the intentions of Patriarch Yuzhu and Senior Brother Jing, there were even deeper hidden spies within the mountain gate?
Damn it, how many undercover agents and informants has the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate planted within their own Qingyun Immortal Gate?
"Strengthening from within is the key to resisting external threats!"
Xing Yuzhu's gaze turned cold as she spoke in a chilling tone,
"Before we deal with the powerful enemies outside the mountain gate, we must eliminate those rats within the sect who have ulterior motives!"
"Otherwise, if someone destroys the key points of the protective formation or betrays us in secret, Qingyun Immortal Gate will be on the verge of destruction!"
Zhong Ten Thousand Year shuddered and quickly composed himself, bowing and saying,
"Everything will be done according to the instructions of Patriarch Yuzhu!"
"At this critical moment of life and death, anyone within the Immortal Gate who has even the slightest suspicion must not be let off easily!"
"No need for such trouble."
The guardian spoke softly,
"Just gather all the Elders with a cultivation base above the Nascent Soul stage in the main hall!"
"This time, the Patriarch and I will personally interrogate and discern, there will definitely be no more accidents!"
The guardian directly targeted the true transmission Elders with Nascent Soul stage strength.
As long as they eliminate all these big fish hidden within the sect, even if there are some small fry that slip through the net, it won't affect the overall situation.
"Zongyang's words make sense!" Xing Yuzhu nodded, "The spies at the Nascent Soul stage pose the greatest threat and should be removed first!"
Once Patriarch Yuzhu spoke, the matter was settled.
Zhong Ten Thousand Year didn't dare to disobey and immediately issued an order to the Head Teacher, summoning all the Elders with Nascent Soul stage cultivation base from the five peaks of Qingyun to gather in the Qingyun Great Hall.
After a moment, in the Qingyun Great Hall, six true transmission Elders at the Nascent Soul stage exposed their identities under the spiritual pressure and secret techniques of Patriarch Yuzhu and the guardian.
Among them, Jia Jingzhi, the Vice Peak Master and Vice Head Teacher of the main peak of Qingyun, turned out to be a spy from the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate.
This discovery completely stunned Zhong Ten Thousand Year, who stared at Jia Jingzhi in silence for a long time without saying a word.
Jia Jingzhi was someone he personally promoted as the Vice Peak Master and Vice Head Teacher!
Among the main peak of Qingyun, besides his own children and direct disciples, Jia Jingzhi with his Nascent Soul stage cultivation base was the person Zhong Ten Thousand Year trusted the most!
But why?
Zhong Ten Thousand Year never dreamed that the Vice Peak Master and Vice Head Teacher he trusted the most turned out to be a traitor and spy!
This further confirmed the speculations and judgments made by Patriarch Yuzhu and the guardian earlier.
The person who silently killed three ancestral masters not only had high authority within the main peak of Qingyun, being able to freely enter the Qingyun Great Hall and pay respects to the three ancestral masters at any time.
Moreover, this person's own cultivation base was also extremely powerful, at least at the Nascent Soul stage or above.
Now it seems that within the entire Qingyun Immortal Gate, who else could better meet these conditions than Jia Jingzhi?
"Father was truly blind before!"
"Why did I choose such a treacherous person?!"
Zhong Ten Thousand Year gritted his teeth, filled with regret and resentment. (End of this chapter)
