Chapter 709 Is he Qin Feng?
"well!"
Xuanting Palace, the peak master's residence.
In a practice room, Qin Ziling sighed and slowly opened his eyes.
More than twenty years ago, he survived the fourth wind and fire disaster in the Cave Heaven Realm and became a fifth-grade Cave Heaven Realm human immortal.
But in the following twenty years or so, whether it was refining Qi, refining the body or refining the spirit, the progress was very slow, especially refining the spirit, which was still at the fourth level of the immortal realm.
In fact, not only Qin Ziling, but also Yin Ranyue, Xiao Qing, Jian Bailou, Zheng Xinghan and other Wuji Sect's fifth-grade true immortals and fifth-grade cave-heaven realm human immortal disciples, are making very slow progress.
It was as if once one entered the fifth level, the flow of time suddenly slowed down.
"This is normal. When the starting point is low, the breakthrough is very fast. But when you reach a high point, if you want to go further, unless you have very special natural resources and treasures to help you, it is usually very slow.
Therefore, many people may be able to break through a realm in a few decades or hundreds of years at the beginning, but later on, they need to continue to settle down and accumulate strength. Basically, they have to endure until the time limit before they dare to cross the tribulation or they have no choice but to cross the tribulation.
You and Ran Yue, Xiao Qing and others are pretty good. They only slowed down when they reached the fifth level, and they are still making steady progress every day. They haven't really stagnated. Many people basically get stuck in a bottleneck when they reach a certain stage of cultivation, and their progress is shockingly slow. "In the Niwan Palace, the one-eyed fire dragon poked its head out at some point and spoke.
"Thank you, senior. I know. It's just that things suddenly became so slow that I feel a little uncomfortable." Qin Ziling nodded.
After saying that, Qin Ziling raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a happy look on his face: "There seems to be something wrong with the Fourth Head. Could it be that he is about to break through? I want to go there."
Although Qin Ziling and the four people are extremely far apart, with his current spiritual realm and the relationship between them, there is still a mysterious connection between them.
Soon, Qin Ziling met with Yin Ranyue, explained everything to him, and then left Xuanting Peak alone.
During these thirty years, Qin Ziling had not been practicing at Xuanting Peak all the time. From time to time, he would visit places such as Wuji Fairy Island, Luanmo Ridge in Juxian Sea, and Pengzhou Mountain Blessed Land far away in the Nanboshan Sea.
In recent years, under the leadership of the seventh-grade true immortal Lei Yanlong, the Lei family has completely recovered the Pengzhou Mountain blessed land and has also become one of the influential figures in the Nanbo Mountain waters.
After all, a seventh-grade true immortal can be considered a first-rate strongman in any of the four major seas, such as Jiuxuan Mountain.
Moreover, the Lei family has great influence in the Juxian Sea. The wife of the current head of the Lei family is a descendant of the ancient mythical bird Bifang, and the stimulated bloodline is equivalent to that of a seventh-grade true immortal.
There are two great seventh-grade true immortals in one family. Even if an eighth-grade true immortal wants to take action, he has to think carefully.
Qin Ziling went to Beiqiao Mountain several times , but he didn't find any great opportunities, so he didn't want to waste time there.
He is no longer the same person as before, so he can just leave these matters to his subordinates to explore and search for.
With the development and expansion of power in recent years, especially the rapid expansion of the Lei family in the Juxian Sea and the Nanboshan Sea, the secret expansion of the Tongling Pavilion, and of course the rise of the Fire Ape Kingdom and the rise of Yin Ranyue in the Jiuxuan Sect, Qin Ziling's foresight and benefits in establishing a huge power began to gradually emerge.
In recent years, Qin Ziling has basically been practicing in seclusion. Not only have the resources at hand not decreased, but they have increased. He even got an additional ten thousand year old Fire Sun Vermilion Grass.
Even though it's just a ten thousand year old Fire Sun Vermilion Grass, if it were really released, even a seventh rank True Immortal would have to fight hard. For Qin Ziling, it was a way to prepare some reserve energy for the Fire Dragon.
In addition to the ten thousand year old Fire Sun Vermilion Grass, Qin Ziling also had eight sixth-grade "Du'e Immortal Pills" on hand.
Therefore, if Qin Ziling were to go on an adventure now, he would definitely go to a place that is more dangerous and where it is easier to find great opportunities. As for other places, he could have his disciples and subordinates go there and cast a wide net.
To go to the Pengzhou Mountain blessed land in the Nanboshan Sea, you need to pass through the Juxian Sea.
After Qin Ziling left Jiuxuan Mountain, he headed towards the Juxian Sea.
The situation at the Four Heads was not very urgent, there were just some subtle problems, so Qin Ziling was not in a hurry to travel. He separated a part of his soul to control the Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle every day, while he sat cross-legged in the Immortal Boat to practice.
Since his practice could no longer progress as rapidly as before, Qin Ziling finally calmed down and practiced in a relaxed and methodical manner every day with the mentality of perseverance.
Unconsciously, that day, Qin Ziling could already see from afar the Yaoye Mountain blessed land which bordered the Jiuxuan Mountain and the Juxian Sea.
Standing at the bow of the immortal boat and gazing at the Yaoye Mountain blessed land in the distance, Qin Ziling couldn't help but think of the time when Lan Ran specially escorted him to the Yaoye Mountain blessed land, and his face was filled with emotion.
"Time really does not exist in cultivation. In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed!"
As I was feeling emotional, a black fairy boat surrounded by evil spirits broke through the air ahead.
Three people were standing at the bow of the immortal boat facing the wind.
A man had a face as sharp as a knife, and he exuded a cold and arrogant aura. His temperament was very similar to Shen Tu Kun of Xuan Sha Peak. He was none other than the proud elder of Xuan Sha Peak and one of Shen Tu Kun's most proud disciples, Teng Daogui.
There were two people standing on his left and right, they were Ke Changsuo and Le Pu, who were severely beaten by Gu Xianyun thirty years ago.
"Elder Teng is truly wealthy and generous, and he has the courage and generosity to have purchased an eight thousand year old dragon blood ganoderma with one million top grade immortal stones. This amount is enough to directly buy a sixth grade 'Deliverance Pill'." Ke Changsuo said with envy and admiration.
"I can earn more immortal stones if I lose them, but I only have one chance to survive the tribulation. If I can't survive, all my wealth will be in vain. I already have a sixth-grade 'Immortal Pill for Deliverance', and my immortal power is strong enough. With this eight thousand year old dragon blood ganoderma to replenish my blood and strengthen my physique every day, I will be able to survive the sixth wind and fire tribulation. When I survive the wind and fire tribulation and become a seventh-grade true immortal, what will the eight thousand year old dragon blood ganoderma mean to me?" Teng Daogui said, his long black hair flying freely in the wind, looking indescribably arrogant and proud.
"That's right, that's right. When senior brother gets through the storm, please give us a hand!" Le Pu complimented hurriedly.
Ke Changsuo also followed suit with compliments.
But both of them were cursing in their hearts. Don’t they know that they only have one chance to survive the tribulation?
"Haha, as long as you follow me and do more work in the future, you will definitely get benefits." Teng Daogui laughed proudly, as if he had already become a seventh-grade immortal.
"Brother, rest assured, we will definitely follow your lead!" Le Pu hurriedly bowed with a solemn face, and Ke Changsuo also followed suit and bowed with a solemn face.
Seeing this, Teng Daogui became even more proud.
"Hey, isn't that Qin Feng, the follower of Yin Ranyue from Xuanting Peak?" At this moment, Ke Changsuo's sharp eyes immediately discovered and recognized Qin Ziling.
"It's really him!" Le Pu's eyes lit up, revealing a hint of surprise and murderous intent.
"Oh, is he Qin Feng? I have heard of his name." Teng Daogui raised his eyes and looked at Qin Ziling, his eyes as cold as a knife.
"Yes, it's him. Since Yin Ranyue's return, the disciples of Xuanting Peak have made breakthroughs one after another in recent years. Lu Han even broke through to become a sixth-grade true immortal and obtained a top-grade immortal weapon, the Heavenly Thunder Banner.
It can be seen that Yin Ranyue must have had a great opportunity outside and has a lot of good things on hand. This Qin Feng is her trusted follower and is the most trusted by her. Not only does he have a wind and thunder seal, which is a top-grade fairy weapon, but he must also have many good things on him. "Ke Changsuo said, with a strong greed in his eyes.
He is poor now and has been running around everywhere all these years.
Not long ago, the Tianji branch held an auction that was held once every century. He and Le Pu went there together, hoping to see if they could get a bargain. It would have been better if they had not gone, as they were more excited after going.
Especially, Teng Daogui happened to be present, and his generosity in spending money made Ke Changsuo feel even more shocked.
Now that he has seen a fat sheep, how can Ke Changsuo not be tempted?
"Top-grade immortal weapon, and many other good things. Wow, you're making me excited." Teng Daogui's eyes also revealed a hint of greed.
"Brother, how about we rob and kill him? With your strength, and the cooperation of the two of us, we should be able to kill him quickly! This Yaoye Mountain blessed land is a desolate place, and there are no strong people at all. As long as we act quickly, it shouldn't cause any alarm, and Xuanting Peak will definitely not be able to investigate afterwards." Ke Changsuo said eagerly.
"Hmph, Xuanting Peak has always been at odds with our Xuansha Peak, and Master has long intended to kill them. It just so happened that I suffered a heavy loss a few days ago, and now a fat sheep is delivered to my door, so how can I not kill it?" Teng Daogui said, with murderous aura surging in his body.
"He discovered us!" As soon as Teng Daogui finished speaking, he saw Qin Ziling turn the fairy boat around and fly quickly in another direction.
"Haha, he is actually flying towards the direction away from the Yaoye Mountain blessed land. He is really on the right track!" Upon seeing this, Teng Daogui and the other two were overjoyed and immediately chased after him.
"Well, originally I wanted to spare your life since you and Ran Yue are from the same sect. But since you insist on dying, you can't blame me!" Qin Ziling saw the three men catching up with him, and a ruthless sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He put away the Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle and flew on his sword instead.
Flying for half a day.
Qin Ziling came to a place where there was nothing but vast ocean as far as the eye could see, without even an island in sight.
The speed at which he flew on the sword slowed down noticeably.
"Qin Feng, why do you just leave when you see your fellow disciples? Isn't this disrespectful?" A flash of knife light brought with it a cold and murderous aura, flew over Qin Ziling, and landed on his escape path, revealing the figure of Teng Daogui.
Ke Changsuo and Le Pu arrived shortly afterwards.
The three of them formed a triangle and surrounded Qin Ziling in the middle.
"Who are you?" Qin Ziling looked at Teng Daogui and pretended not to know.
"Haha, Qin Feng, you are so blind that you don't even recognize the grand elder of Xuansha Peak, Elder Teng Daogui! " Ke Changsuo said sarcastically, looking at Qin Ziling as if he were a dead person.
"So it's Elder Teng. I wonder why the three of you are surrounding me?" Qin Ziling asked.
"What do you think?" Teng Daogui asked. As he spoke, a triangular black flag rose behind his head. As the wind blew, evil black air surged up around the sea, covering an area of nearly a hundred miles in radius.
"You want to kill people and rob! Are you crazy? I am the trusted follower of Master Yin Feng!" Qin Ziling shouted in panic.
"Humph, if you were not Lord Yin Feng's trusted follower, we would not have killed people and robbed them. It is because you are Lord Yin Feng's trusted follower that we have to kill people and rob them!" Le Pu said.
"That's right, Qin Feng, have you forgotten how you suppressed me back then? You didn't expect it, right? Today it is my turn to suppress you, no, to kill you!" Ke Changsuo said with a look of relief on his face.
"Sure enough!" Qin Ziling's panic gradually subsided, and he said, "Aren't you afraid that I will escape and report to the sect, accusing you of murdering your fellow disciples?"
"Haha, Qin Feng, stop flattering yourself. No matter how powerful you are, you are only a fifth-grade True Immortal, while the three of us are sixth-grade True Immortals, and Senior Brother Teng's strength is close to that of a seventh-grade True Immortal. You want to escape? Dream on!" Le Pu laughed out loud.
"What? Elder Teng is so powerful!" Qin Ziling looked horrified.
Upon seeing this, Teng Daogui showed a look of smugness and contempt.
Qin Ziling had only taken action once, more than 30 years ago, and since then he has lived in seclusion and has not taken action again.
Teng Daogui had never seen that fight.
He was a man who was very self-confident. Qin Ziling was only a fifth-grade True Immortal. The three of them had specially chased him here before taking action. For Teng Daogui, this was already very cautious and careful, and he gave Qin Ziling a lot of face.
Qin Ziling's frightened expression now seemed normal to him.
"Haha!" Ke Changsuo and Le Pu laughed out loud when they saw this.
But at this moment, a cave suddenly rose in the sky from behind Qin Ziling's head, and in the distant part of the cave, vast mountains and rivers were projected into it.
In an instant, an extremely heavy and terrifying aura was released from the cave world, covering the space where the four people were.
Teng Daogui and the other two suddenly felt as if the sky was collapsing and pressing down on them. Their whole bodies sank suddenly, and their blood, strength, and immortal power were all suppressed at once, as if they had to burst out with all their strength to move.
The three of them felt an extremely strong sense of crisis in their hearts, and their eyes were filled with horror .
At this moment, a mountain surrounded by wind and thunder and a pitch-black black dragon sword came towards Teng Daogui at lightning speed.
At the same time, nine fire crows broke through the air from under the sea shrouded in evil black air and surrounded the space where the four people were.
Teng Daogui saw the Wind Thunder Mountain Seal and the Black Dragon Sword coming towards him together. The terrifying heavy pressure and the incomparably sharp sword light were approaching like a tsunami in an instant, frightening him so much that his liver and gallbladder almost broke, and his soul flew away. He hurriedly urged the Black Dragon Xuansha Sword hanging in front of him, and transformed into a black dragon with evil spirit surrounding it, shaking its head and tail to face the Wind Thunder Mountain Seal and the Black Dragon Sword.
"Boom!" In just one move, the black dragon transformed by the Black Dragon Xuansha Knife was directly knocked away by the Wind Thunder Mountain Seal, revealing its true form.
At this time, the sharp blade of the Black Dragon Sword had directly broken through Teng Daogui's protective aura. The blade slashed across his head, and a huge head with a pair of bulging eyes full of fear fell down.
However, before the head actually fell into the sea, a whirlpool appeared and sucked up the head, the headless corpse, a knife, and a flag.
The world was dead silent.
Ke Changsuo and Le Pu, who were preparing to burst out with all their strength to break free from the heavy pressure descending from the cave world, were so frightened when they saw this scene that they couldn't even gather their spiritual power. Their limbs were trembling, and the cold air was coming up from their backs, and cold sweat was pouring down.
Teng Daogui is the number one among the sixth-grade True Immortals of Xuansha Peak. Even if the two of them work together, they are no match for him!
But what about now?
With one blow, he didn't even have time to fight back and was killed directly!
What kind of cultivation is this? It's simply too horrifying!
However, Qin Ziling was not too surprised or surprised that he killed Teng Daogui with one strike.
More than thirty years ago, without offering sacrifices to the cave heaven or borrowing the power of the Qiankun Cave Heaven world, he possessed the relatively powerful combat power of a seventh-grade True Immortal.
If he releases the cave heaven and borrows the power of the Qiankun cave heaven world, it will be no problem to defeat an ordinary eighth-grade true immortal.
Now more than thirty years have passed.
Although Qin Ziling's progress has been slow in recent years, he is still improving every day. During this period, he has also broken through from the fourth-grade cave heaven realm to the fifth-grade cave heaven realm in martial arts. His strength has improved a lot compared to more than 30 years ago.
Once he releases the cave heaven and borrows the power of the Qiankun cave heaven world, and fights with all his strength, even if he is still not as good as a ninth-grade true immortal, the difference is already very small.
Now he suddenly exerted his strength, and the power of the cave heaven and the Qiankun cave heaven world came out together, which was equivalent to a powerful eighth-grade true immortal using all his strength to kill a sixth-grade true immortal.
No matter how powerful Teng Daogui is, he is still within the range of the sixth-grade True Immortal. Moreover, he even dares to be arrogant and underestimate Qin Ziling. How can he not kill him with one blow!
"You, what is your cultivation level? Who are you?" After a while, Ke Changsuo and Le Pu shuddered all over and looked at Qin Ziling with pale faces.
"A genuine fifth-grade True Immortal. As for who he is, don't you all already know?" Qin Ziling said with a smile.
"Impossible! This is impossible! I know, Master Yin Feng's great opportunity is you! It must be you!" Ke Changsuo suddenly shouted, his eyes full of fear and regret.
On the surface, Xuanting Peak is now ruled by Yin Ranyue, the peak master who possesses a Taoist treasure and whose combat power is comparable to that of a powerful seventh-grade immortal. There is also Qin Ziling, a perverted strong man behind the scenes who is so powerful that even Shentu Kun cannot be his opponent without his Taoist treasure. If he continues to stay in Xuanting Peak, as long as he honestly confesses his crimes and mends his past mistakes, with his cultivation level, there is hope that he will become a seventh-grade immortal in the future.
At least, the resources he had accumulated over thousands of years with great difficulty would not be wasted!
And most importantly, he won't lose his life!
But it's too late to regret now!
"You're not stupid! What a pity, sometimes people are too smart, calculating everything for their own selfish interests, and in the end they end up being too clever for their own good!" Qin Ziling shook his head regretfully.
Ke Changsuo still has some talent and ability, otherwise even if Shentu Kun wanted to support him, he would not be able to become a sixth-grade true immortal.
What Xuanting Peak lacks most now is disciples with a solid foundation. Originally, Ke Changsuo is already a sixth-rank true immortal. If he is trained well, he may have the hope of becoming a seventh-rank true immortal in the future.
After all, Qin Ziling is different from others. He has no shortage of top-quality elixirs.
