C13 Teamwork
Liu Yunze soon arrived at Niu Family Village. Niu Family Village was a very small village, and no outsiders would come here on normal days. Therefore, Liu Yunze received the assistance of the simple and honest villagers. According to the man's instructions, he found a sword in a dried up well. This treasured sword was about the length of a man's arm. After the invasion of time, its surface was covered with thick dust. Only after cleaning the dust did he reveal his original sharp edge. Liu Yunze smeared the fresh blood of the person he was holding onto. Immediately, a red light flashed as the treasured sword flew into the sky.
"This is a good sword, compared to my Red Cloud Sword. "As expected of mine, I'm slightly stronger!" Liu Yunze said.
"Come on. Where are your things now? " Guo Guo rolled her eyes and said indifferently.
Liu Yunze pursed his lips and put his sword on his back. He took out some herbs to thank the villagers. Afterwards, he hurried back into the pavilion. Fortunately, under the orders of the Old Ancestor, he was not to be disturbed during cultivation time. It was only because of this that the deceased Old Ancestor had not been discovered by the other disciples of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. He entered the secret chamber and came before the man.
"Many thanks little brother. Now, little brother, please use your treasured sword to break this profound chain!" That person seemed to be extremely excited, and even his voice started to tremble.
Liu Yunze grasped his treasured sword and fiercely slashed at the black iron chains. Suddenly, sparks shot out and the hundred-year profound iron chain broke in response. After repeating this a dozen times, the final giant chain finally broke free from the man's shoulder blades. The man fell to the ground. Liu Yunze hurriedly went to have a look. He discovered that this person's body was extremely weak after being confined for so many years. He might be scared out of his wits for a moment. He tossed the medicinal pills he had acquired from the Patriarch into the man's mouth without even looking at them.
After about two hours, he slowly woke up.
"Thank you, little brother, for saving my life. My name is Zhang Kuang Jian, and I come from the Absolute Soul Ridge. May I know what is your name, little brother? " The man spoke slowly.
Zhang Kuangjian, this name was indeed insolent. Liu Yunze explained his background and why Brother Zhang had been trapped in this secret room for such a long time.
"This ancestor used a despicable method to capture me alive." Naturally, it was to obtain information that ordinary people could not obtain. However, he could not inform Dao Friend Liu about this information. I'll let you know if I have the chance. " Zhang Kuangjian said without any trace of politeness.
Liu Yunze nodded. He understood that this person in front of him must have some sort of secret. This secret was not something that he could know.
I just heard that Brother Zhang is from Absolute Soul Ridge? I am also heading towards the Absolute Soul Ridge, so why don't we go together? This way, we can take care of each other along the way. " Liu Yunze said what he thought. With this thought, he was the first to admit that he came from the Absolute Soul Ridge. Since he came from this dangerous place, his cultivation must be quite high as well. Besides, it wasn't easy for an outsider like him to enter. This person in front of him was coincidentally his guide.
Zhang Kuangjian thought for a moment, then nodded his head, and asked doubtfully: "I wonder what is Fellow Daoist Liu doing at Absolute Soul Ridge?"
Liu Yunze smiled and said, "Go cultivate!"
With regards to Guo Guo's matter, this was also his secret.
"Oh, that! "Then we can continue on our journey after I've recovered for a few days." "After Zhang Kuangjian finished speaking, he closed his eyes and started meditating. Liu Yunze knew that he needed to digest the medicinal strength of the pill. "He placed a few pills at his feet and left the chamber, arriving at the fork in the path he had come from.
"I don't know where this road leads to, but there's nothing to do here anyway. It would take at least two to three days for Brother Zhang to recover. I might as well take this opportunity to go and take a look. " Liu Yunze thought like this as he walked towards the passageway. Not long after, they arrived at an ordinary door. Pushing it open, they saw a wasteland outside the door. This passage was for the Ancestor to escape.
"Guo Guo, there's nothing going on right now, how about I swallow a few pills and give it a try?" Liu Yunze looked at Little Guo who was sitting on his shoulder.
"Not bad, breaking through a few is also a good thing. You can take this opportunity to swallow the Qi Gathering Pellet right now. " Guo Guo jumped down.
Liu Yunze found a place to sit down and took out five Qi Gathering Pills from his Cosmic Bag. The pill emitted a strange fragrance, causing those who heard it to instantly feel refreshed. After consuming a pill, Liu Yunze closed his eyes and began to refine the spiritual energy within it. He was already at the second level of Qi Building Stage, and this pill was refined from heavenly materials and earthly treasures that could help a cultivator break through to the Qi Condensation stage in one go. As soon as the pill was placed, he could feel waves of hot air coming from his dantian, which was in his lower abdomen. The hot air was slowly drifting in his dantian. Not long after, it began to circulate with the blood in his body.
"This is indeed a good item. This clear and cold Spiritual Aura is quite amazing!" Liu Yunze thought to himself. After a small cycle, the spiritual energy entered the dantian's Qi Sea one by one and returned to its calm state.
"Whew ~ ~ not bad!" "Indeed, there is a lot more spiritual energy. This is really a good item." Liu Yunze looked at the remaining pills. She originally wanted to continue, but was stopped by Guo Guo.
"One per day is fine, but more is useless!"
Only then did Liu Yunze dispel his thoughts and return to the secret room. Zhang Kuang Jian had already recovered. His originally pale face was now as red as a woman's. This was the effect of the pill.
"Although I have yet to fully recover, I can already continue on my journey like this." Zhang Kuang Jian replied.
The two of them walked out of the pavilion and headed for the Absolute Soul Ridge together. Along the way, Zhang Kuang explained the Absolute Soul Ridge to Liu Yunze. Absolute Soul Ridge was one of the five ultimate realms of the Profound Sky Continent, and there were many vicious beasts and bugs amongst them. But because of this, there were even more heavenly and earthly treasures. Most of the spiritual herbs and materials that were circulating on the continent came from the Absolute Soul Ridge. Because there were so many treasures, there were also many cultivators. Cultivating in a place like this was twice the result with half the effort. In this way, some cultivators started their own sects in Absolute Soul Ridge. Among them were the three great sects and countless small sects.
"What are the names of the three great sects?" Liu Yunze asked in confusion.
"Sky Burning Valley, Purple Cloud Sect, big move!" Amongst the three major sects, the Purple Cloud Sect is the strongest, then the Sky Burning Valley, and finally the Great Cave. " Zhang Kuang Jian explained in detail.
Liu Yunze nodded. He did not expect that there would be sects within the Absolute Soul Ridge. For the sake of obtaining treasures of heaven and earth, these sects travelled thousands of miles to the Evil God's Soul Extinction Mountain Range, all for the sake of being able to comprehend the Heavenly Dao one day. Who knew if the person Guo Guo was looking for was one of the three great sects or someone else. He looked at the silent Guo Guo. This little thing would never speak up in front of outsiders.
"Brother Zhang, may I know who is the person with the highest cultivation level in the Absolute Soul Mountains?" Liu Yunze asked curiously. As far as he was concerned, the carefree palace's Daoist Master Su Qian was already the person with the highest cultivation level he knew.
"Daoist Violet Cloud!" He had reached the Spirit Refinement realm! A bit of cultivation base is rarely seen! " Zhang Kuang Jian calmly said.
The Spirit Refinement realm was extremely powerful! In the end, even Liu Yunze wasn't very clear on which type of power it was. It was already quite impressive that he was four levels below him. The difficulties they faced were almost unimaginable.
"Because of the treasures in the Absolute Soul Ridge, my cultivation speed is much faster than those in the mainland. However, because of this, the danger within was even greater than in the mainland. Brother Liu looks young, but he dares to enter Absolute Soul Ridge. This kind of courage is admirable. However, little brother should still be wary of the dangers within. " Zhang Kuangjian solemnly looked at Liu Yunze.
Liu Yunze nodded his head. This vicious insect beast was only one of them. What was more dangerous than this was the human heart. After going through two such adventures, he finally understood the truth behind the words' evil in the human heart '.
"Brother Liu, why don't you rescue me from the fire and water? How about this, Brother Liu come with me to the Great Technique Cave." In fact, to be honest, I am the protector of the Great Techniques Cave! " Zhang Kuangjian said.
Liu Yunze's expression was calm. He had already guessed long ago that this ancestor had been imprisoned by him. Naturally, that person had an extraordinary background. The protector of the Great Marking Cave should only be second to the Cavemaster. He had heard that this protector was commonly used in the Devil Sect. Presumably, this big trick hole was also from the Devil Sect. Although he was born in a palace of freedom, he didn't have any feelings for a proper cult. After all, the cultivators on the road of cultivation were all from famous sects on the surface, but they were secretly working for the Devil Sect. Therefore, he did not care about these things at all. Since the other party was sincere in inviting him, he didn't reject his offer. Thus, he agreed immediately.
"Although I am ranked last among the three, I am still a big sect and have some foundation in the Absolute Soul Ridge. It would be more convenient for Brother Liu to train in Absolute Soul Ridge. " Zhang Kuangjian said proudly. This tone was extremely respectful to his sect.
On this day, the distance between Qin Wentian and the pavilion was already over a thousand miles. A thousand miles away, within the pavilion, a wave of rage swept across the area.
"Someone actually killed my brother, I will let him fall into the endless abyss!" An old man angrily roared as he looked at the corpse of Nether Master.
The servants of the pavilion beside him were all shaking violently like sieves. This person in front of him was the brother of the same father and mother of Nether Master. He was even more vicious than him. Therefore, they were extremely silent when facing this person.
"Nether, Nether, Ancestor, Ancestor, calm down, calm down. It must be a kid that the forefather captured two days ago! " The manservant stammered.
The Netherworld Ancestor narrowed his eyes and glared at the servant, spitting out each word as he spoke harshly, "Tell me, who is he!"
