Chapter 259: An Old Friend Visits, Coinciding with His 6th Birthday
This time, the "Seven-Colored Jade Bell" was suspended high, with seven-colored rays of light blooming, exuding a powerful aura of the Core Formation level.
It was clearly more powerful than when she activated the bell in the 'Taiyin Valley'.
This was naturally because Qin Zhixue's spiritual sense had improved. After reaching the level of a pseudo-core cultivator, the power of the "Seven-Colored Jade Bell" was gradually activated. Her own cultivation level had also reached the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, just one step away from the late stage.
As the long river flowed by, Qin Zhixue's gaze swept across it, and the divine sense that rivaled that of a False Core Immortal also spread out.
A cold mist rose around her, like the sound of waves rising and falling.
"This is the divine sense that only a pseudo-core cultivator possesses." On the treasure ships of the seven great immortal sects, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators felt a chill in their hearts.
"No wonder she was able to handle this ambush!" On the Jinxia Gate spaceship, Zou Chengyan's gaze was as gloomy as water.
"A pseudo-Core Formation level divine sense, it seems this woman's rise is unstoppable!" Beside her, the Core Formation cultivators from the other three major immortal sects frowned. They exchanged glances and looked at the Core Formation cultivators beside them, seemingly exchanging ideas and asking whether they should intervene.
Clearly, this was the last chance to kill Qin Zhixue.
The subtle shifts in their gazes were observed by Master Wanyue.
With a flick of her jade-like hand, a cold light burst forth before her, and a wave of near-fourth-tier magical power emanated from her.
But then a precious pearl, shrouded in icy cold, slowly rose and hung above its head.
It was the Ice Soul Divine Pearl, a near-fourth-tier magic weapon from the Ice River Valley.
The precious pearl, suspended in the sky, expanded to a size of a hundred feet.
It is like a mountain hanging high in the sky.
A wisp of cold air descended from within.
The terrifying spiritual pressure caused the nearby third-tier treasure ships to tremble, as if they were about to capsize.
On the treasure ship, the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the seven major immortal sects were all filled with dread, feeling as if their souls were about to shatter, and remained silent as cicadas in winter.
"What terrifying pressure!"
"Is this the quasi-fourth-tier magic treasure, the 'Ice Soul Divine Pearl,' from Ice River Valley?"
"Why does Master Wanyue always carry such a treasure with her?"
"This woman... is not someone to be trifled with!"
The cultivators from all factions fell silent in fear.
Meanwhile, many people harbored resentment in their hearts, looking at the treasure ship in the Ice Valley with fear on their faces.
Quasi-fourth-tier magic weapon.
If placed in a third-tier immortal sect, it would undoubtedly be a supreme treasure.
It serves as a stabilizing force.
It has the power to deter villains.
However, very few people carry it with them.
After all, if such a treasure were lost, the entire immortal sect could be destroyed.
Glacier Valley dares to act this way.
Firstly, they attach great importance to this matter, as it relates to the rise and fall of the valley.
Secondly, there are at least two near-Tier 4 treasures in the Ice Valley.
next to.
On the "Flowing Cloud Treasure Ship" of the Azure Flame Immortal Sect.
With a hand gesture, Master Hongyan caused the flowing clouds in front of him to churn and a precious pearl to fly out.
The pearl hung high above, surrounded by flowing clouds, with flames falling from within. The aura it emitted reached the upper-grade third rank, making it a 'Flowing Cloud Azure Flame Pearl,' a magical treasure crafted by the ancient cultivator 'Flowing Cloud True Man.'
As the two magical treasures were suspended high above the ground, everyone turned to look.
At this moment, on the Taibai Immortal Sect's treasure ship nearby, sword energy also emanated from Lü Xingsan's body.
The sword case on his back opened, revealing a dazzling sword light.
The light was blinding, splitting the clouds high in the sky; the dazzling sword light seemed to open the heavens and the earth and destroy people's souls.
The Core Formation cultivators from the four major immortal sects all frowned.
It was during those two breaths that the breaths stopped.
The long river beneath Qin Zhixue had already pierced the sky and connected to the "Moon-Wrapping Treasure Ship".
With a swift movement, she stepped into the treasure ship under the protection of the "Seven-Colored Jade Bell".
Beside the treasure ship, light patterns bloomed, evolving into a 20-zhang-high cold energy shield that enveloped the entire spaceship.
Upon seeing this, the Core Formation True Persons of the four great immortal sects—Golden Cloud Sect, Burning Flame Valley, Refining Dust Sect, and Lingyan Island—sighed.
They all turned their gazes away.
They clearly already knew.
The best opportunity to kill Qin Zhixue has been missed.
However, in that situation just now, no one was willing to step forward.
After all, Qin Zhixue had a third-tier magic weapon protecting her, and she also possessed the divine sense of a pseudo-core cultivator.
To kill them in one fell swoop, we must activate a near-fourth-tier magic weapon.
Even if Qin Zhixue were killed at this moment, it would be difficult to guarantee that Wan Yue Zhenren would not be attacked and killed by a near-fourth-tier magic weapon.
In this way, not only would they lose their lives, but they might also lose their near-fourth-tier magic treasure.
Moreover, Master Hongyan and the sword immortal Lü Xingsan were also there to support them.
If they act rashly, the four major immortal sects will also pay a heavy price.
Knowing the connection between these events, Master Wanyue immediately unleashed a near-fourth-tier magic weapon.
Master Hongyan would immediately understand.
The Core Formation True Persons of the four great immortal sects withdrew their gazes, but True Person Wanyue did not withdraw the 'Ice Soul Divine Pearl'.
Qin Zhixue approached Master Wanyue and bowed respectfully.
"Master, your disciple has lived up to your expectations!" Qin Zhixue said.
"Good, good!" Upon hearing this, Master Wanyue was overjoyed and said "good" twice, knowing that she understood what her disciple meant.
Clearly, she understood the unspoken meaning in her disciple's words.
I have obtained the "Cold Jade Star Pattern Gold".
"When we were in Taiyin Valley..." Qin Zhixue transmitted her voice, reporting on the events at Taiyin Valley.
"Your survival is a blessing from heaven. As for the others... once you reach the Core Formation stage, we can settle accounts with them one by one."
The True Man Wanyue transmitted a warning to him.
"Disciple understands!" Qin Zhixue nodded. She knew that with Ice River Valley's current resources, it was not enough to demand an explanation. Only by increasing its strength and condensing its Golden Core could it get an explanation without having to ask.
Then, Qin Zhixue stepped aside.
"My lady..." Lu Wenqing greeted her. Seeing Qin Zhixue return safely, she finally felt relieved.
Having followed Qin Zhixue for many years, she naturally knew that the latter's journey was fraught with danger, akin to a life-or-death ordeal.
She looked at Qin Zhixue, tears welling up in her eyes.
It is a joy, and also a vision for the future.
She knew that once this tribulation was overcome, her young mistress would surely rise to the top and stand at the pinnacle of the immortal sects in the Chu Kingdom.
Lu Wenqing felt the hardships and joys along the way, which is why he shed tears when he was about to succeed.
Qin Zhixue glanced at Lu Wenqing and smiled slightly, then wiped away the tears from his eyes.
"This is a spiritual item for you..." Then, she waved her hand, and a jade box flew out.
Among them is a second-tier spiritual plant that can help people break through and advance to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Lu Wenqing accepted the jade box, overjoyed.
……
At this moment, cultivators continued to fly out of the 'Mysterious Netherworld'.
Monks from the Ice Valley also kept flying in.
When most of the cultivators from various sects had appeared, Lu Wenqing, at Qin Zhixue's prompting, stepped on the cold flowers and strolled through the air.
They arrived at the treasure ships of the Azure Flame Immortal Sect and the Taibai Immortal Sect.
After paying his respects to the Core Formation Realm cultivators, he greeted the cultivators who emerged from the secret realm.
They also mentioned that their master was willing to exchange items with others or purchase spiritual items.
The two factions' Core Formation cultivators did not intervene.
The spiritual items they need are strictly prohibited from being traded, so they naturally have no fear of being replaced.
As for other spiritual items, those Foundation Establishment cultivators can exchange them for what they need.
They naturally wouldn't stop it.
After all, this is a mutually beneficial arrangement.
Why do people risk their lives to enter the "Mysterious Netherworld"? Isn't it all for a chance encounter?
How can we interfere?
Lu Wenqing spoke, and the cultivators of both the Azure Flame Immortal Sect and the Taibai Immortal Sect were moved.
Some cultivators who had not originally planned to exchange spiritual items here also chose to trade after learning that Qin Zhixue had just come out and displayed the divine sense of a pseudo-core cultivator. Obviously, they also understood that this woman's rise was unstoppable.
This is a rare opportunity to make friends, so naturally I don't want to miss it.
After all, the opportunity to forge a connection with future giants of the immortal sects is something outsiders would be extremely eager for!
For example, many cultivators from Jinxia Sect, Lingyan Island, Lianchen Sect, and Fenyan Valley sighed.
He harbored resentment, thinking that his elders shouldn't have ambushed Qin Zhixue, creating a future enemy for no reason.
Although they also wanted to participate in the transaction, they were reluctant to do so openly due to the grudges between the two parties.
Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the Core Formation Realm cultivators in the sect.
……
Lu Wenqing moved back and forth between several treasure ships.
They exchanged quite a few near-third-tier spiritual items, which can be described as a very fruitful harvest.
As for third-tier spiritual items...
Extremely precious, all are prohibited from being traded.
However, some people will still keep secrets.
I plan to wait for an opportunity to assess the price later.
An hour later, cultivators from all sects emerged from the secret realm.
Thirty percent of the cultivators perished among them.
The secret realm is dangerous.
It harbors powerful demons and various unknown restrictions.
Each time, many cultivators perish.
There were just a little more this time.
However, it was because Qin Zhixue alone killed eight Foundation Establishment cultivators.
……
The Moon-Waning Treasure Ship, the Flowing Cloud Flame Treasure Ship, and the Taibai Sword Ship flew side by side toward the southern region.
Qin Zhixue turned around and glanced at the 'Mysterious Netherworld' behind her.
"The Mysterious Netherworld… The cultivation world has a long history, burying countless eras and harboring countless giants… Fortunately, I didn't use the Fourteen-Character Mantra, otherwise, if I were exposed and targeted by a powerful being, I would likely face annihilation!"
Qin Zhixue thought to herself.
In the last month, she traveled to an ancient, secret realm.
She vaguely sensed an extremely terrifying aura.
That aura sent shivers down her spine, as if she were being watched by a prehistoric beast.
I am as insignificant as an ant...
In an instant, she felt the breath of death enveloping her.
Good thing...
That feeling was fleeting.
Even so, it terrified her, and she is still shaken to this day.
He secretly rejoiced.
If it weren't for the secret technique given to her by Ninth Brother, she would definitely have activated the Fourteen-Character Mantra on this trip.
If that's the case, then those hidden supreme beings will surely try to uncover its profound mysteries.
At that time...
The consequences could be disastrous.
"Ninth Brother has always hidden his strength... presumably because he's afraid of being targeted by powerful figures."
Qin Zhixue's thoughts were in turmoil as she secretly pondered and began to plan her future principles of conduct.
The Fourteen-Character Mantra.
It should not be used unless there is absolutely no other way.
Of course, it is also necessary to occasionally reveal other strengths to deter troublemakers.
This time, we came out of the "Mysterious Netherworld".
She made no attempt to conceal her pseudo-True Immortal level divine sense, intending to make the powerful figures from various immortal sects somewhat wary.
In those few breaths of delay, she was able to fly onto the "Moon-Swallowing Treasure Ship".
In this way, the crisis can be resolved.
Otherwise, as soon as she came out, someone would launch a surprise attack, causing chaos in the scene.
If someone tries to take advantage of the situation, things could spiral out of control.
……
Nanling, Lingxi Peak.
The ninth day of the first lunar month happened to be Yang Jiuli's sixty-first birthday.
A guest has arrived.
It was Lu Wenqing.
Inside the cave.
Lu Wenqing handed over a letter.
Yang Jiuli opened it and began to read it.
His eyes lit up when he saw the contents of the letter.
"Zhi Xue has successfully obtained the 'Heart of Aoki'..."
