Chapter 309: Advancement to Yuanying, Experts Come to Join

Walking into the illusion glass mirror that seemed real and unreal, Xu Yuanchang finally understood what Empress Yu Cai said. She meant to completely open the core of the illusion glass mirror and help him break through and advance in one go. At this moment, he was in the boundless illusion plain, surrounded by an endless sea of ​​flowers on the grassland.

He was surrounded by rich spiritual energy from heaven and earth, creating a mysterious resonance that could trigger fluctuations in his soul.

It gives him a sense of confidence that everything is in control and a mysterious feeling of observing his own heart.

Without thinking, he took out the foundation-solidifying stone, soul-enhancing jade, Taiyuan stone and life-wood stone from the ring space. Each of them was a rare treasure rarely seen in the world. He blasted the four treasures into powder one by one and absorbed them into the body in turn, which played the role of strengthening the foundation, enhancing the soul, adding essence and tempering the body.

As he made hand gestures to absorb the energy of each treasure, the entire boundless fantasy land centered on him, with winds and clouds rising and spiritual energy flowing in like a stream.

Xu Yuanchang used the "Immortal Breathing Technique" to absorb the crazy spiritual energy, and his cultivation level slowly climbed towards the critical point.

The mysterious fluctuations that resonated with the soul balanced the rise and fall of Xu Yuanchang's qi, blood and magic power, keeping them in a certain rhythm. Outside, there were violent storms and raging waves, while inside, there was calm and peace.

The cyan-gold elixir bead in the Qi Palace emitted an unsteady and retractable light, and the magic mist urged the golden elixir to speed up its circling speed, enhancing its absorption and transformation of the external spiritual energy.

The altar for summoning gods in the spiritual space has already shown the fifth layer of blurry shadows, and the phantom word of the natal star is emerging more and more clearly.

Images from the two lives flashed before his eyes one after another. Xu Yuanchang "watched" the joys and sorrows, pains, sweetness and separations of the past. His heart was as calm as still water. All the past was just a prologue.

Life is sea and sea, mountains and rivers.

Whenever there is a ripple in his heart, it will bring him another round of twists and turns.

Countless phantoms that appear along with the fragments of the experience images are mixed in, adding some twists and turns, vividness and brilliance.

With the blessing of the Fantasy Fairy Ring, Xu Yuanchang watched coldly, like a passerby, and did not fall in his practice of illusion.

Look within yourself to cultivate your truth and gain enlightenment, and trace back to the source.

He is not worried about the tribulations of his inner demons; his tribulations lie in his true self.

I don’t know how long it took, the long fragments of images passed, the light in the dark sky faded dimly, and all the phantoms that could develop into sad stories came to an end quietly because they could not shake the hearts of outsiders.

Xu Yuanchang realized that the Qifu Golden Pill was spinning to its extreme and the time for a breakthrough was ripe. The magic power accumulated in his body had reached its peak.

He clasped his hands together, mobilizing the energy in all the meridians and acupoints to pass through the heavy barriers, and it rushed and gathered like a sea of ​​liquid.

Before the attack enters the Qi Palace, pause for a moment to accumulate the offensive "momentum" to its peak.

He suddenly released his hands, like a dam bursting, with boundless momentum, like a tidal wave, rushing towards that point of bright light, roaring and shaking, making Xu Yuanchang's whole body flash with light.

The golden elixir shattered into a chaotic air mass, which spun rapidly to contain all the breath.

The huge energy caused a mysterious qualitative change, and the Nascent Soul was broken and reborn.

With the continuous supply of pure spiritual energy accumulated from the Boundless Illusionary Origin, Xu Yuanchang took steady steps and successfully consolidated his new realm.

He did not waste time. He was at the core of the open Magic Glass Mirror and refined the Magic Glass Mirror in one go. This was his best opportunity.

After spending several years groping for the treasure nodes, he has become very familiar with all levels of the silver liquid that has opened up. From the outside to the inside, he uses his newly-advanced soul cultivation to apply phantom seals one by one, connecting the dots into pieces, and combining the pieces into surfaces. It is a very tedious, meticulous, boring and repetitive task.

He needs to be familiar with the purpose of each piece.

For him, it is also a rare opportunity to learn and verify.

Giant trees are like mountains, mountains are covered with green, waterfalls are like hangings, flowers are blooming like the sea, the desert is boundless with wind and sand, the fire covers the sky, the seven emotions and six desires, bones and skulls...all kinds of illusions are hidden in the overlapping mirror nodes.

Before Empress Yu Cai's Yuan Yin left and dissipated, it awakened all the dormant nodes and opened them to him.

He was so immersed in it that he didn't notice the time flying by.

……

Outside the valley, the fat and happy Zhuifeng lay in the mud, rolling around and enjoying the beauty of every day.

There is no crisis of being hunted down and feeling anxious.

Eat well, sleep well, and feel relaxed and comfortable.

In five years, its cultivation has improved as significantly as its body.

When I am bored, I occasionally think about the human Taoist priest who has not appeared for a long time, and the little flower demon who went to the secret realm of flowers and never came back. It has no friends anymore and can only play happily with Jin Zi in dreams.

It did not resent Jin Zi for leaving it and walking away. It was happy that its friend could find a home.

It's just that it's really lonely!

Especially when I wake up, I feel a little empty and uncomfortable.

Zhuifeng, who had taken a nap, suddenly woke up and jumped up from the mud pit. His instinct, honed over decades, did not allow him to sleep soundly. He squinted his eyes and took a closer look, then relaxed his tense body.

The one flying in the sky from afar was the second senior brother of Bailingu, one of our own.

"Master hasn't come out of retreat yet?"

Zeng Shanlang came alone and glanced at the cave hidden in the mountain wall.

He has been here five times in five years. With the help of City Lord Yu, it is convenient for him to go out and do some personal things.

Zhuifeng shook his head in response. He had never set foot into the valley. There were Taoist incarnations guarding it invisibly. He didn't want to give up his good life and seek suffering.

Zeng Shanlang lingered outside the valley. His master had been away for nearly twenty years. Although he had the support of the old sword saint, Grandmaster Xi and others, he still inevitably attracted a lot of cold words and criticism.

The situation in the dark world has undergone new changes, undercurrents are surging, and wars are spreading sporadically to Dingzhou's territory.

The Three Continents Alliance is powerful. It wants to hold on to a territory of more than 100,000 miles and want to monopolize the market. The pressure it faces is increasing. In addition, faced with huge interests, the three parties in the alliance will of course focus on themselves, and small frictions are inevitable within the three continents.

Dingzhou has issued a call for all monks who have gone out to return within a certain period of time.

The ancestor is waiting for his master to come out of seclusion on an overseas island, otherwise he will not enter the dark world to serve Dingzhou, and he does not trust other cultivators.

Several days passed by and Zeng Shanlang did not detect any abnormal fluctuations. He guessed that his master must have reached a critical moment. He decided to return to the Gem City first and ask City Lord Yu to find a way to buy another three or two years.

A figure suddenly appeared in the valley with a calm expression. It was Xu Yuanchang who had been in seclusion for many years.

"Shan Lang is here too, but is there something going on in the dark world?"

Xu Yuanchang waved his hand and put the three avatars into the ring space. He finally refined the precious magic glass mirror to the point where he could use it. He had already refined five of the seven layers of mirror nodes. He would need to spend time nurturing and getting familiar with the treasure.

After a long period of study and practice, his cultivation has already been stabilized and has made some progress.

The space of the Fantasy Immortal Ring expanded to a huge area of ​​500 feet as he wished, and the Creation Altar also solidified to three layers, but compared with the altar that Taoist Master Yanshan had lent him before, the scale was far different. He was already very satisfied.

"Master, have you successfully advanced?"

Zeng Shanlang was extremely surprised. He could not see any fluctuations in the aura of a new cultivator or any unrestrained external aura from his master.

No matter what, Master came out of seclusion in time and would not cause any trouble to City Lord Yu.

Xu Yuanchang extended his hand to support him, telling his apprentice and Zhuifeng not to be polite, and said with a smile, "It worked."

He spoke calmly. If he hadn't been refining the treasure in one go, he would have come out long ago.

Zeng Shanlang's face lit up with joy, and he said, "Master, let's set off immediately. City Lord Yu is waiting for you to return to the Dark Realm to assign you a task. She said that if you don't go back, you won't have many options left. However, it will be a great joy if you can successfully break through."

Xu Yuanchang found out that five years had passed since he had been in seclusion in the valley, and sighed a few words like "time does not exist in cultivation".

Along the way, he listened to his disciple's detailed description of the situation in the dark world while flying westward.

Xu Yuanchang didn't care about the criticism from other forces in Dingzhou and just laughed it off. When he heard that Zeng Wanglou had been waiting for him on the island for three years, he asked Zeng Shanlang to send a message immediately and agreed to meet outside Xiyuangucheng.

The group flew over Wuya Lake, and Xu Yuanchang remained silent.

When he has free time in the future, he will go down to the bottom of the lake again.

The two men and the pig arrived near Gucheng, where Zeng Wanglou, holding a black umbrella, had been waiting for a long time.

"Congratulations, Senior, for achieving your wish. You may ascend to the upper realm within a hundred years."

"Haha, no wonder Old Man Chang likes to talk to you, you really know how to talk. Congratulations on your advancement to the Nascent Soul stage. You really impressed me. In just forty years, you have climbed from the early stage of the Qi Transformation stage to such a high level. You are really formidable!"

Zeng Wanglou held up a black umbrella to cover his head, and after joking, he returned the greeting meticulously.

The little guy could achieve such success, and he would never believe it if you said it was not due to the circumstances.

The moment he saw Xu Yuanchang, he changed his mind and determined to follow Xu Xiaoyou for decades, until the gate to the dark world was closed. They had the bond of Zeng Shanlang between them, so they could trust each other in some aspects.

"Mr. Zeng, you are too kind. I am just lucky and fortunate."

Xu Yuanchang exchanged a few pleasantries with the other party and asked, "Do you want me to recommend you to the old sword master and give you a position, or do you want to stick to one city, or just seek a guest position and come and go freely?"

Zeng Wanglou had already changed his appearance a lot. After practicing the way of the gods, his aura was different from that of eight hundred years ago. He smiled and said, "To be honest, I want to join Bailin Valley as a guest elder. I will hide my cultivation and follow you. I don't want to show my face and deal with those old foxes. You can explain the details to the outside world."

Of course, this little fox Xu is no less capable than those old foxes, and even better in some aspects.

He opened up and talked candidly about belonging.

Xu Yuanchang showed a little surprise on his face, and in an instant he roughly guessed the reason why Zeng Wanglou kept a low profile, and said with a chuckle: "The temple in Bailin Valley is small, I'm afraid it will be unfair to you, a great god."

Even a powerful figure like Gu Yunzhu never complained about being a junior sister in Bailin Valley.

There was nothing wrong with him accepting Zeng Wanglou's offer of a nominal position as an elder in Bailin Valley.

He also needs a sixth-level Shinto who is willing to help him maintain order.

It is enough for both parties to get what they need and have the same interests.

Zeng Wanglou was also surprised by the young Taoist's decisiveness and courage. He didn't ask him any more questions and agreed directly.

The two men discussed the details for a while, and then they bypassed the fortified city and came to the entrance of a passage guarded by monks.

Xu Yuanchang showed his ID card and helped Zeng Wanglou and Zhuifeng obtain temporary identities. They successfully passed through the formation and entered the Gem City. Compared to when he left, there were many new formation pillars built in the city.

It can be seen how strict the protective formation is. Even a sixth-level expert would be dead if he tried to break in.

Currently, the Gem City is Dingzhou's last stronghold in the dark world and also the most important fortress. It is ruled by Yu Fengwu as the city lord. It has not experienced a war for many years. City Lord Yu has been in a safe rear all year round, and he is quite depressed.

Seeing Elder Xu Yuanchang who had finally come back after years away, Yu Fengwu smiled slyly, regaining her former charm, and said, "Congratulations, Elder Xu has been promoted to the position of Deputy Palace Master of Daning."

Xu Yuanchang left Zeng Wanglou and Zhuifeng at the foot of the mountain outside the main hall, with Zeng Shanlang as their temporary companion.

"You are too polite, Lord Yu. Thank you for your help and care over the years. I heard from Shan Lang that the southwest border is currently quite unstable. Yuan Chang is willing to share the worries for Lord Yu."

"Gem City is in need of young and promising talents like Deputy Palace Master Xu. You can stay and help me as a way of repaying my favor."

Yu Fengwu was too lazy to pretend and revealed his true colors.

The old swordsman needs someone he can trust to guard the Gem City. She feels that Xu Yuanchang, who has already been promoted, is the perfect choice. He should shoulder the heavy responsibility of training the young people, which is totally worthy of the deep relationship between them.

Xu Yuanchang looked at the increasingly stunning City Lord Yu, and smiled as he declined, "I'm used to being idle, and I can't do delicate and tedious work. City Lord Yu, if you are capable, you should do more work. Just treat it as a test from the old swordsman. Then calm down and stay in your position for another 20 to 30 years. There will definitely be opportunities for you to go out and fight in the future, so there's no need to rush."

He understood Yu Fengwu's personality and didn't want to be trapped in the Gem City.

Furthermore, Zeng Wanglou wanted to go beyond the border so that he could occasionally go out to look for rare resources.

Isn't it just for this convenience that Zeng Wanglou hangs out with him?
Yu Fengwu sighed and said, "Why do you sound the same as the old Sword Saint? He's out there enjoying himself and asked me to guard the Jewel City for at least another thirty years. He said he wanted to use the tedious affairs to temper my character. Alas, they were all excuses." He then asked in a voice transmission, "Where did the umbrella man you brought come from? He looks pretty powerful."

She had a keen eye for swordsmanship, and even though the Zengwang Tower was blocked by a black umbrella, she could still sense something.

Xu Yuanchang sent a voice message: "Master, a Shinto master who can play a role at a critical moment, please help me get him a fourth-level identity. He will not stay in the Gem City, so I'm sorry."

Yu Fengwu glared at him, but was helpless. There was no way to keep this idle and slippery guy.

It is not uncommon for a mysterious master to appear around Xu Yuanchang. In the past, one by one, they helped Dingzhou overcome a great difficulty. This time, another master whose depth is unknown has come.

Seeing that Xu Yuanchang refused to reveal the other party's origins, she did not ask any more questions and turned back to send a secret message to the old swordsman.

After helping Zeng Wanglou and Zhuifeng obtain their official identities, Xu Yuanchang talked with Yu Fengwu for a while. From time to time, they were interrupted by cultivators who came to ask for instructions. City Lord Yu was busy with official duties, so he took his leave and walked out of the Jewel Hall. He really didn't want to do this kind of chores.

Let Zeng Shanlang do the work and Xu Yuanchang handed the identity card engraved with "Zeng Mu" to Zeng Wanglou.

The group flew out of the Gem City and headed towards Fucai Ridge while chatting and laughing.

The mountains are still beautiful.

People are full of energy.
