I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Under the moonlight.

Zhang Bairen took a few items and began to arrange them.

Setting up the formation.

Set up a small formation.

Chu Ning noticed that Zhang Bairen took out the Earth Spirit Bead and placed it among the items. Then, as he formed seals with his hands, the items on the ground began to shine.

The luster emitted by these items began to slowly merge together, forming rays of light.

Finally, under the control of Zhang Bairen's handprints, these rays of light converged into a red-red light as thick as a bucket.

"What formation is this?"

Chu Ning was surprised, and as Zhang Bairen let out a soft drink, the crimson light began to sweep forward.

It's like a laser scanning forward bit by bit.

After advancing three meters, the red light stopped, as if there was an invisible barrier in front of it blocking its progress.

The red light of the crimson light also began to become more enchanting, and continued to advance little by little.

Zhang Bairen's forehead was already dripping with sweat, and his face turned pale. This was a sign that his spiritual power was almost exhausted.

The next moment, a pill appeared in Zhang Bairen's right hand and he stuffed it directly into his mouth.

As the elixir entered his stomach, Zhang Bairen's expression improved slightly. Chu Ning, as an alchemist, recognized at a glance that the pill Zhang Bairen had swallowed was the spirit-continuing elixir.

The function of the Continuing Spirit Pill is to replenish the spiritual energy in the body, allowing the user to restore the spiritual energy in the Dantian to its peak in a short period of time.

After taking three spiritual renewal pills like this, I heard a clear clicking sound, as if something was broken, and the red light suddenly moved forward several feet.

There was a look of joy on Zhang Bairen's face. He put away his handprints and the red light dissipated. Then without any hesitation, he moved forward in a flash.

"Is this opening a hole for the formation to sneak in again?"

Chu Ning looked at Zhang Bairen's disappearing figure and pondered for a moment. Then the people came out of the escape boat and followed him in.

There was no longer Zhang Bairen in front of him. Chu Ning's consciousness spread out and he found that the surroundings were surrounded by white mist, in which his consciousness was limited to only ten meters away.

Chu Ning is not worried that Zhang Bairen will hide and attack him because Lao Hei is following Zhang Bairen. If Zhang Bairen hides, Lao Hei will remind him loudly.

The restriction of this kind of spiritual consciousness is actually beneficial to him. He can freely explore the surrounding situation without being discovered by Zhang Bairen.

In the mist, there is a steep mountain road.

The mountain road was steep, but it was nothing to Chu Ning. After walking cautiously for more than an hour, there was a sudden fork ahead, one going to the left and the other to the right.

The direction Zhang Bairen chose was to the left. Chu Ning was originally going to go left, but the next moment he stepped on the path to the right.

"The green mountain in my Dantian reacts. Could it be that the secret on it is related to the Immovable Mountain Technique?"

Chu Ning was shocked. He chose the road on the right because at that moment, the mountain peak in his Dantian that was as stable as an old dog changed. The mountain peak suddenly tilted to the right.

This makes him go to the right.

Stepping on the mountain road on the right, Chu Ning could feel that he was going up vertically. This meant that the mountain behind the forbidden area shrouded in clouds and mist was vertical, not diagonal as the outside world had speculated. On Wenjin Peak.

Halfway through, Chu Ning stopped because there was no road ahead.

He was already standing on the top of the mountain.

"What is this, just a mountain covered by clouds and mist?"

"Where's Zhang Bairen? If I had reached the top of the mountain, I would have met Zhang Bairen."

Chu Ning scanned the surroundings warily but found nothing.

There is nothing but clouds and mist around.

Just when Chu Ning was confused, the peak in the Dantian in his body moved.

The mountain peak rotated in Chu Ning's dantian. Just one rotation, and the spiritual power in Chu Ning's body was directly washed away.

"Pump."

Chu Ning muttered, quickly took out the same spiritual renewal pill as Zhang Bairen had before and swallowed it in his body.

As the sixth child, the spirit-continuing elixir must be kept on hand.

After swallowing six pills in a row, the mountain finally stopped rotating.

At the same time, a handprint technique appeared in Chu Ning's mind.

"Lianshan Seal?"

Chu Ning formed a hand seal with his hands. As the hand seal was completed, the clouds and mist in front of him spontaneously dispersed in both directions.

When the clouds and fog dissipated, Chu Ning's pupils shrank when she saw the scene ahead.

Broken mountain!

What he saw was a broken mountain.

He was indeed standing on the top of the mountain, but it was not the real top of the mountain, but the break of a mountain that was broken in the middle.

A hundred meters directly above him, there was a mountain peak.

The bottom of this mountain peak and the top of the mountain he was standing on were clearly the same mountain.

A distance of a hundred meters is nothing to a foundation-building monk, but it gives Chu Ning the feeling of being close in front of him yet far away in the horizon.

This distance of 100 meters is like a chasm, insurmountable.

And just when Chu Ning was staring at the 100-meter natural chasm, in front of him, the break of the mountain peak suddenly began to extend.

It seemed that it was trying to mend the gap and reintegrate with the mountain peak a hundred meters away.

"It's the peaks in my Dantian that are moving."

Chu Ning can be sure of this, because at this moment, the mountain peak in his Dantian has changed into the shape of the broken mountain at his feet, which is continuously extending.

As the mountain extends, the distance between Chu Ning and the broken mountain a hundred meters above also keeps getting closer.

Ninety meters, eighty meters, seventy meters...

However, after reaching a distance of fifty meters, the pull of the mountain below seemed to reach its limit and could no longer grow.

"If it doesn't work, I'll give it a try."

Chu Ning's eyes flashed with determination and she took one step forward.

boom!

This step was only half a step away, and Chu Ning staggered back, the entire lower part of his left leg flashing with light.

"Three pieces of my spiritual armor were broken."

These rays of light were emitted by the spirit armor on Chu Ning's body. If these pieces of spirit armor hadn't offset most of the power, his left leg at this moment would not be as simple as deformation, or it would be gone.

There is indeed some kind of terrifying power in this fracture.

Chu Ning frowned. If he had the chance, it would obviously be on the upper half of the mountain, but he couldn't go up.

Is it just like turning back without success, or is it possible to see what opportunities there are for Zhang Bairen?

Just when Chu Ning was thinking about advancing and retreating, the peaks in Dantian returned to their original appearance, and the waterfall hanging on the peaks appeared.

This time, the waterfall no longer flows down the mountain, but pours toward the top of the mountain in a strange posture, like an upside-down rainbow.

"My longevity fruit energy!"

There was a look of physical pain in Chu Ning's eyes, and the mountain peak baptized by the waterfall spun again. This time, no more spiritual fluid was extracted from Chu Ning's body.

The mountain peaks rotated, and the mountains that had stopped growing began to grow again.

Seventy meters, sixty meters...

Thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters...

On the mountain peak above, some weeds in the cracks of the rocks can already be seen with the naked eye.

Three meters distance.

Once again the mountain's growth ceased.

Chu Ning knew that it was not because the energy of the longevity fruit was insufficient, because he compared the mountain below with the mountain above, and the sizes of the two overlapped perfectly.

In other words, with the help of the longevity fruit, the mountain has been completed.

But the three-meter defect still exists.

The mountain peaks in Dantian stopped rotating, and another spell appeared in Chu Ning's mind.

"The Secret of Leading the Mountain!"

The power of the mountain is hidden in my body.

This is an introduction to Yinshan Jue.

Chu Ning sat down cross-legged and began to get familiar with the Mountain Leading Technique. After a quarter of an hour, he digested the Mountain Leading Technique and then started to form seals with his hands.

The handprints of the "Yinshan Jue" were very complicated, and Chu Ning spent a long time over a cup of tea.

Handprint done!

"The power of the mountain is hidden within me!"

Chu Ning vomited softly, and as his voice fell, the mountain above changed for the first time.

The mountain peak actually began to fall slowly.

Three meters, two meters, one meter...

boom!

The two peaks finally merge.

At the same time, within Chu Ning's dantian, a small peak appeared on the side of the original mountain.

Chu Ning had a joyful look on her face. She didn't plan to study the small mountain peak that appeared in her dantian, but was preparing to climb the mountain peak.

But the moment he stood up, the originally fused mountain peaks suddenly broke apart again.

Half up, half down.

"Fuck!"

Chu Ning couldn't help but swore a curse word. He tried so hard to get the mountain peaks to fuse together, but they split again.

"Break!"

Boom!

A "break" suddenly sounded in Chu Ning's ears.

This first sound caused all the spiritual armor on his body to shatter.

Without any hesitation, Chu Ning's figure immediately headed down the mountain, while Li Huo Armor protected his whole body.

Break!

The second "break" sound came, and the flames around Chu Ning collapsed and extinguished, and blood spurted out from his whole body.

"Break!"

The third broken sound came, and at this moment Chu Ning only felt darkness around him, and everything disappeared.

Time disappears, space disappears.

His expression became dull, and he looked like a corpse.

"wake up!"

There was a voice that resounded through the darkness. The voice was like light, tearing apart the darkness and awakening Chu Ning's soul for the first time.

Chu Ning looked forward for the first time, and there was a line of words under the mountain that was already a hundred meters away.

"Ask Jinshan, the 87865th mountain of Shanzong."

Shan Zong?

What sect is this?

Chu Ning had never heard of it, but he understood the meaning of the following words, which meant that Jinshan belonged to the Shan Sect, and the Shan Sect seemed very powerful.

This can be inferred from the ranking of Wen Jinfeng displayed in this line.

Wenjin Mountain, the mountain sect has 87,865 mountains, which means that this mountain sect has at least 100,000 peaks like Wenjin Sect.

You can't just ask Imayama to be ranked last.

Chu Ning was stunned. How big is the entire Hundred Cities area? Doesn't this mean that the Shan Sect's territory is as big as thousands of Hundred Cities areas?

unimaginable!

"And who made the three "break" sounds and the last "wake up" sound just now?"

Chu Ning knew that if there hadn't been that "wake up", he would have turned into a corpse by now.

Just when he was wondering, the small mountain peak that appeared in his dantian changed.

From the side of the small mountain peak to the cliff as smooth as a knife, it began to shine with luster.

On it, writing strokes began to appear.

Chu Ning couldn't see clearly this word.

But what followed was a line of words revealed above his head, back on the mountain peak a hundred meters away.

Among them, two words floated down slowly.

Ask today.

These two words fell, and when they fell into Chu Ning's hands, they turned into a piece of paper.

The word "ask today" is written on the paper.

The paper took hold, and the next moment it melted into Chu Ning's palm. At the same time, the words on the cliff of the small mountain peak at his Dantian were clearly revealed.

Ask today!

boom!

The full moon has already set at this moment, but the entire Wenjin Sect is shining brightly.

The light illuminated the entire Wenjin City, illuminated the outside of the city... and even spread to further areas.

Everyone on Wenjin Peak noticed the changes. Many disciples walked out of their caves. The monks living below the peak also walked out of their courtyards at this moment. They looked at Wenjin who was filled with light with a shocked expression. peak.

What happened?

At the same time, at another place on the top of the mountain, Zhang Bairen watched as a yellow square seal that was within reach suddenly flew upwards, with a look of annoyance on his face.

It was almost like this rare treasure was his.

In order to get this square seal, he spent most of his savings, used various talismans and formations, and even used the most precious power of luck on the disk, and then he got close to this square seal.

The power of luck.

It was named by Zhang Bairen himself based on the effect of the purple-red energy on the disk.

Over the years, he has encountered more than a dozen opportunities with Yuanpan, but not every opportunity fell on him. Several times, it fell into the hands of others.

But as long as the purple energy on the disc fills the protruding ball on the back of the disc, and he releases this energy, then the opportunity will never escape.

Therefore, he would not use this energy under normal circumstances. He would only use it when encountering big opportunities, such as condensing energy to break through the foundation building, and when breaking through from the middle to the late foundation building.

This is the third time.

When he saw this square seal, his intuition told him that this square seal was the opportunity for him to form an elixir.

However, that square seal is a hundred meters above the ground.

This distance of 100 meters, but there was a natural chasm, which almost cost him his life.

In the end, he had no choice but to use the power of luck on the disk.

The power of luck did not disappoint him. It turned into a thread, wrapped around the square seal, and slowly pulled the square seal down.

As long as he is given another thirty breaths of time, he will be able to hold this square seal.

But who knows what happened suddenly, Fang Yin broke away from the thread of luck and returned to the top a hundred meters away again.

Is there anyone with better luck than him?

Zhang Bairen couldn't accept this reality. Just when he was thinking about whether there was any other way to get this square seal, the entire square seal suddenly exploded.

Endless spiritual energy burst out wildly.

This scene made Zhang Bairen look frightened, and without any hesitation, he turned around and ran away.

Reiki is a good thing for monks.

But the prerequisite is stable aura.

The violent aura is a disaster for the monks.

Water is a necessity for ordinary people to maintain life, but it is different if there are huge waves, which can take away lives.

The principles are the same.

Zhang Bairen ran away, and Chu Ning on the other end also ran away at this moment.

Because he had also noticed the violent aura, and if he didn't run away, he would be cut into pieces by the violent aura.

…

Asking Jin Zong, Gu Fanzhou and other foundation-building monks also walked out of the cave at this moment.

"Senior Brother Gu, what is going on?"

"I don't know!"

Gu Fanzhou shook his head. He really didn't know what was going on.

Just after a few breaths, Gu Fanzhou's expression changed instantly: "I ask all the disciples of this sect to come down the mountain immediately and not stay."

Just as Gu Fanzhou finished speaking, several other late-stage foundation-building monks present seemed to have noticed something, their expressions changed drastically, and they immediately headed down the mountain.

Gu Fanzhou did not go down the mountain, but headed in a certain direction up the mountain.

A frenzy of spiritual energy poured down from the top of the mountain.

All the trees in the place they passed turned into powder. Many monks stood at the bottom of the mountain and looked at the horrific scene on the mountain in horror.

"Ask...is this sect gone?"

At the foot of the mountain, some monks were whispering.

This violent spiritual energy destroyed all the buildings on Wenjin Peak, including the caves of many monks. From this perspective, Wenjin Sect was indeed gone.

Gu Fanzhou's eyes were red. He had grown up in Wejinzong since he was a child. Wejinzong was his home, and now his home was destroyed.

When asked about the other foundation-building monks in this sect, their faces were not looking any better.

Their cave is gone. You must know that many monks have spent years or even decades of effort in setting up a cave, and now it is all destroyed.

The most important thing is that the treasure house is gone.

Even the treasure house formation may not be able to protect such violent spiritual energy.

"Senior Brother Gu!"

After the tea time, Chu Ning appeared next to Gu Fanzhou. Looking at Senior Brother Gu's stiff body and eyes staring at the mountain, he felt a little guilty.

Asked whether such a big change in Jinfeng had anything to do with him.

Then I really feel sorry for Senior Brother Gu.

Chu Ning searched the crowd at the same time, and soon found Zhang Bairen. Like himself, Zhang Bairen had just arrived.

The violent spiritual energy rushed down, but fortunately it stopped at the bottom of the mountain.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier preventing the violent spiritual energy from continuing downwards. The entire mountain peak was now filled with violent spiritual energy, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.

At the same time, the light disappeared.

The entire Wenjin City seemed to have fallen into a dead silence at this moment.

"Why do I suddenly feel sad."

"I thought I was the only one who had it, fellow Taoist, do you also have it?"

The monks in the crowd whispered softly. Chu Ning glanced at it and saw that most of the monks had the same expressions, or they themselves didn't notice that there was a trace of sadness on their faces.

What is going on?

"I had a feeling that something important was missing."

Some young Qi Condensation monks wiped their eyes as they spoke.

Tears flowed out uncontrollably.

"Old...I seem to know what happened."

Among the crowd, an old man with white hair had a sad voice, and his words made everyone's eyes fall on him.

Seeing the old man, many monks present recognized him.

Shopkeeper Yang who runs an inn in the city.

In the later stage of Condensation of Qi by Shopkeeper Yang, his strength is not ranked among the top in Wenjin City, but in terms of those who know the secrets of the world of cultivating immortals or the Hundred Cities, this Shopkeeper Yang can definitely be ranked in the top three.

As long as the family that runs the inn does not take the initiative to compete for territory, no one will attack them.

It is said that the Yang family was already in Wenjin City before the Wenjin Sect was established. As for how many years it has existed in the future, only the Yang family itself knows.

"The spiritual energy is violent and stops at the bottom of the mountain. This situation has been recorded in the notes left by our ancestors. It happened thousands of years ago in a remote place in Hundred Cities."

Shopkeeper Yang didn't show off, and suddenly sighed: "This is the death of the mountain. The life of the mountain has come to an end. The mountain will no longer exist from now on."

"One hundred cities, one hundred and six mountains, after today there will be only one hundred and five left."

quiet!

You can hear a pin drop in the silence.

All the monks present fell into silence because of Shopkeeper Yang's words.

After a while, there was a sound.

"No...no way, shopkeeper Yang, did you remember it wrong?"

"It is unmistakable. You will feel sad in your heart because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that we have absorbed in our practice all comes from Wenjin Mountain. Wenjin Mountain is like the mother who raised us. If our mother is gone, how can we... Not sad?"

Shopkeeper Yang's words made some monks who were unwilling to accept the facts no longer find any reason to refute.

The spiritual energy was violent and stopped at the bottom of the mountain.

I can still find an excuse to refute, but the sadness in my heart cannot be deceived.

Chu Ning started to think because of what Shopkeeper Yang said.

If the life of the mountain is over, what is the small mountain in the body?

I wonder if the end of Jinshan’s lifespan has anything to do with the appearance of this small mountain peak?

"If Jinshan is gone, then we ask if Jincheng is gone too?"

A monk spoke up, but the words he said silenced everyone present.

Without Wen Jinshan and without the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, monks like them had no choice but to go to other cities in order to practice.

Many families that have been in Wenjin City for several generations, have spread out, and have been in Wenjin City for hundreds of years, their collective expressions changed drastically at this moment.

Going to other cities means leaving home, and it means having to compete with other forces for territory again.

"Dear Taoist friends, the reason why I say that Wen Jinshan is like a mother is because even if my life comes to an end, Wen Jinshan will still give me one last chance."

"Since the birth of Wenjin Mountain, the foundation-building and golden elixir monks who are sitting in Wenjin Mountain have asked that their cultivation methods will evolve and form Tao fruits one by one. These Tao fruits can allow the Qi Condensation monks to build Foundation, let the foundation-building monks form elixirs, and there will even be opportunities for Nascent Soul."

"Isn't this the last gift a mother gives to her children before she leaves because she is afraid that her children will have no support and be bullied by outsiders?"

Shopkeeper Yang sighed quietly: "When the spiritual energy on this mountain stabilizes, any monk who asks about this mountain can enter the mountain. Outsiders want to enter the mountain, but there are many restrictions. Fellow Taoists, please seize this last opportunity."

Chu Ning's eyes narrowed, and he noticed that the monks around him were breathing slightly faster at this moment.

Foundation building, pill formation...the Nascent Soul that goes up a bit is too illusory, and it is not something that everyone present can expect.

But it was the first two points that made no monk at the scene unmoved.

Even Chu Ning herself was very excited.

But Chu Ning knew one thing more clearly, and asked Jin Cheng, he was afraid that chaos would really break out this time.

All the Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment monks in the entire hundred cities, even the Golden Core monks, will come. Shopkeeper Yang also said that there are restrictions on outsiders, but they are not inaccessible.

While everyone was still immersed in the shock of the opportunity to build the foundation and form the elixir, Gu Fanzhou's voice resounded throughout the inner city.

"All disciples of this sect, gather at the Alchemy Courtyard!"
