Chapter 621: The Great Savage Sea
"Yes, but I, the leader of Xuanting Peak, do not have much prestige. It is only because Lei Xiao recognized me as the leader and Xuanting Peak once had a glorious history in Jiuxuan Sect that they still wanted to give Xuanting Peak a chance and appointed me as the leader of Xuanting Peak.
But they won't give me time to grow slowly. I can only get rid of my inner demons in a short period of time, make rapid progress in my cultivation, and let Lei Xiao recover as soon as possible, so that I can truly sit firmly on the position of the master of Xuanting Peak, and Xuanting Peak will not be removed from the list of the nine Xuan peaks.
This time I decided to go down the mountain to gain experience, in fact, I just wanted to find an opportunity to break through the inner demons and restore Lei Xiao. In the end, God still took pity on me and let me meet the young master. "Yin Ranyue replied.
"I see. But don't worry, you are not alone now. You have me, and I will definitely help you with all my strength. No one can take away your position as the peak master." Qin Ziling finally understood, and after sighing for a while, he said in a deep voice.
“Yes!” Yin Ranyue nodded, and then said: “In fact, from the moment I recognized the young master, I had already broken through the barrier of my inner demons. Now I have faintly sensed a trace of the heavenly tribulation, but it seems to be obscured by something, so it is not very clear.
But now that the inner demon barrier has been broken, I am confident that I will soon be able to trigger the heavenly tribulation and become a true immortal. Once I become a true immortal, Lei Xiao will be able to recover some of his injuries, and I have a thunder spirit root physique, so my combat power will definitely increase greatly.
Although my strength at that time was still far from comparable to that of other Xuanfeng Peak Masters, I was able to gain a foothold in Xuanting Peak."
"My cave world can conceal some of the heavenly senses. If you have already faintly sensed a trace of heavenly calamity, I am afraid that after you go out, you will most likely attract a heavenly calamity immediately. The true immortal calamity is no small matter. I have to make careful preparations for you before you can leave the cave world. " Qin Ziling was surprised at first, and then said with a serious expression.
"Brother Zi Ling, you are too concerned. Have you forgotten that Sister Ran Yue has a thunder spirit root constitution? She is naturally very compatible with thunder. It is extremely dangerous for others to go through the heavenly tribulation, but it is generally not that dangerous for her. Instead, she can take this opportunity to temper her constitution and comprehend the way of thunder.
Besides, there is me! Have you ever seen a late-stage earth immortal who possesses a Dao treasure? Ahem, Brother Ziling, you are certainly not included. In short, even if Sister Ranyue is very weak, with my help, she can safely survive the heavenly tribulation, and there is no need to make any additional careful preparations. "Lei Xiao said.
"Haha, I really am confused because of caring too much! How can my Ran Yue be compared to ordinary people?" Qin Ziling laughed when he heard that.
Yin Ranyue, however, really enjoyed the feeling of being cared for and loved by Qin Ziling. She put her face against Qin Ziling's chest with a happy and sweet smile on her face, and stayed there quietly without saying a word.
“Sister Ranyue is in danger of the wind and fire tribulation of the True Immortal. This tribulation is characterized by endless strange winds and raging fires, blowing and burning from the inside out, and I can’t help her much. But Sister Ranyue is the master of Xuanting Peak. She has no shortage of elixirs to help her overcome the wind and fire tribulation before becoming a True Immortal of the sixth rank. It shouldn’t be a big problem, but it’s hard to say after becoming a True Immortal of the sixth rank.” Lei Xiao said.
"As powerful as the Jiuxuan Sect, don't they have a sixth-grade elixir to save their lives?" Qin Ziling asked after hearing this.
"After the Du'e Immortal Pill reaches the sixth grade, not only are the medicinal materials extremely difficult to find, but it is also extremely difficult to refine. When the Jiuxuan Sect had a Taoist immortal in charge, the success rate of the Taoist immortal refining it was quite good.
Nowadays, without Taoist immortals, if you work hard to find a furnace of medicinal materials, you may get nothing when you open the furnace. Therefore, even the powerful Jiuxuan Sect cannot withstand such troubles, and now rarely open the furnace to refine the sixth-grade Du'e Xiandan. "Lei Xiao replied.
Qin Ziling thought about it after hearing this, and then quickly nodded with relief.
The sixth-grade Deliverance Pill requires a lot of precious medicinal materials, and the Lingdao Fruit alone is extremely precious and hard to find.
It is conceivable that so many precious medicinal materials were finally gathered together, but in the end they turned into dregs after being refined. No matter how wealthy one is, one cannot afford such waste!
"By the way, how is the strength of your Xuanting Peak now?" Qin Ziling asked quickly.
"On the Xuanting Peak side, the most powerful are the five elders. There are two fifth-grade true immortals, three fourth-grade true immortals. There are thirteen true disciples. All of them are true immortals, but their cultivation is not as good as the elders." Yin Ranyue said.
"No wonder they want to expel Xuanting Peak from the ranks of the Nine Xuan Peaks. Its strength is indeed a bit lacking." Qin Ziling nodded, and then asked: "What about the other peaks of the Nine Xuan Sect?"
“I am not worthy of the title of Peak Master. I left the mountain the next day after taking the position. I just listened to Elder Lu Han’s talk before leaving the mountain. Elder Lu is the only elder in Xuanting Peak who truly supports me.
According to him, the masters of the seventy-two Earth Peaks all have at least the cultivation level of a fifth-grade True Immortal, and the top ten masters all have the cultivation level of a sixth-grade True Immortal. Among them, the master of Diyou Peak survived the wind and fire calamity a few years ago and became a seventh-grade True Immortal. He is considered the most powerful among the seventy-two Earth Peaks.
The nine Xuanfeng Peak Masters, except for me, are at least 7th-rank True Immortals, and three of them are 8th-rank True Immortals, namely, the Sect Master, Yue Huai, who is also the Peak Master of Xuandu Peak, Huangfu Xuan, the Peak Master of Xuanrui Peak, and Shentu Kun, the Peak Master of Xuansha Peak.
This time Xuanting Peak was not expelled, and I was able to take the position of Peak Master, which has a lot to do with Peak Master Huangfu Xuan. He has always been on good terms with our old Peak Master, but Peak Master Huangfu Xuan is expected to go through a wind and fire disaster in the next few years, and the Sect Master, I heard, only has a hundred years left to serve." Yin Ranyue replied.
"This lineup is really powerful!" Qin Ziling sighed after listening to it, and then said: "However, does Jiuxuan Sect really have no Taoist immortals now, or even ninth-grade true immortals?"
"I'm not sure about that. Lei Xiao should know more about this." Yin Ranyue said.
"There are definitely no more Taoist immortals, but there are definitely still ninth-rank immortals. Usually, after a peak master has survived the wind and fire disaster and become a ninth-rank immortal, he will retreat to the back mountains to practice in secret, concentrating on comprehending the great Dao of Taoist immortals.
There are also some True Immortals who are not interested in power. After reaching the seventh-grade True Immortal realm, they are also qualified to go directly to the back mountain to practice in seclusion and comprehend the great Dao of Taoism. These people are called Supreme Elders.
The number of the Grand Elders and their specific cultivation levels are all secrets of the Jiuxuan Sect. Except for the Sect Master, even the Master of Xuanfeng Peak doesn’t know, and I don’t know either.” Lei Xiao took over and said.
Qin Ziling thought about it after hearing this, then nodded and said, "The Jiuxuan Sect does not have a Taoist Immortal in charge, and the number and cultivation of the Supreme Elders are kept secret. Others cannot see their true strength and thus are afraid to act rashly. This is a good idea."
After saying that, Qin Ziling pondered for a moment, his expression gradually turned solemn, and he said: "What's going on with the Netherworld Palace? Why are they chasing you? Aren't they afraid that the news will leak out and the Jiuxuan Sect will annihilate them all? The Jiuxuan Sect is a super sect that dominates this 90 million li sea area."
"I don't know about that." Yin Ranyue shook her head.
"I was seriously injured and lost a lot of my memories. I haven't been in Jiuxuan Mountain for nearly two thousand years, so I don't remember many things. I only remember that the Netherworld Palace was also the overlord of this 90 million li sea area. There can't be two tigers in one mountain, so a war broke out between the Netherworld Palace and Jiuxuan Mountain.
As a result, the Netherworld Palace was defeated and reportedly fled to the Great Barbarian West Sea. I didn’t expect them to come back again and even try to kill Sister Ran Yue!" Lei Xiao took over and said.
"The Great Barbarian West Sea?" Qin Ziling asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"The place we are in now is called the Great Savage Sea. It is said that an extremely tragic war broke out in ancient times, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to split, turning our extremely vast world into a wild and chaotic place. This is also the origin of the name of the Great Savage Sea.
There is a vast land in the Great Savage Sea, which is called the Great Wasteland. After the Great Wasteland, there is an even more vast world, but whether it is the Great Wasteland or the even more vast world beyond the Great Wasteland, I don’t know. I don’t know if I have lost my memory or I just don’t know it at all.
The 90 million miles of sea area governed by Jiuxuan Mountain is located in the Great Barbarian South Sea. It is the overlord of this 90 million miles of sea area and a super large sect, but in the vast and boundless Great Barbarian South Sea, it can only be called a force. Unfortunately, I have lost a lot of memory, and I remember most of the things in my early years. At that time, I was still weak, and my spiritual intelligence had just formed. I didn’t know much about the places I had been to. "Lei Xiao said.
"This world is so huge!" Even though Lei Xiao only said a few words and he had forgotten many things and had no idea where to start, even these few words made Qin Ziling extremely shocked.
The planet he lived on back then had a diameter of only over 24,000 miles.
But now the Jiuxuan Mountain Sea where he is located has already spanned 90 million miles, and this is only an area of the Great Barbarian South China Sea, and the Great Barbarian Sea is only an area of this world.
Qin Ziling really couldn't imagine how vast and boundless the world he lived in now was!
Soon, Qin Ziling calmed down and his thoughts returned to the matter of the Netherworld Palace chasing Yin Ranyue. As for the Jiuxuan Sect, it was just a force in the Great Barbarian South China Sea. These were too far away for Qin Ziling at the moment.
The most urgent task for him was to find out the truth about the Netherworld's pursuit of Yin Ranyue .
In the past, the Netherworld Palace had the qualifications to contend for supremacy with the Jiuxuan Sect. Now that Yin Ranyue has been targeted by them, how can Qin Ziling feel at ease unless he finds out the truth?
"This is a bit strange. According to you, the Netherworld Palace was defeated and fled to the Great Barbarian West Sea. Even if they come back to avenge their past or want to dominate Jiuxuan Mountain, they should find a way to kill the relatively powerful disciples of Jiuxuan Sect, right? That way, they can weaken the power of Jiuxuan Sect more effectively, and it won't attract too much attention from Jiuxuan Sect.
After all, every year, some disciples of the Jiuxuan Sect must die unexpectedly. It is impossible for the Jiuxuan Sect to investigate every disciple's death. But Ranyue is different. After all, she is the leader of Xuanting Peak and carries a Taoist treasure. If there is an accident, the Jiuxuan Sect will definitely investigate it to the end.
It is probably because of this that the old man chose to attack in the Forbidden Land of Fire Abyss. But isn't this a waste of effort? Anyway, the Netherworld Palace and the Nine Profound Sect are mortal enemies, and they are far away in the Great Barbarian West Sea. After killing him, he can leave immediately. Unless the old man has another identity in the Nine Profound Mountain Sea, he is a hidden man arranged by the Netherworld Palace here and cannot be exposed.
But since they are hidden and cannot be exposed, why would they risk exposure and kill Ranyue? What good would killing Ranyue do to them? For Daobao? This is unlikely, they should know that Lei Xiao has a strong character. "Qin Ziling touched his chin and analyzed.
