The Mortal's Path to Immortality

"Senior, can I join the Pure World?" Shang Yueling asked.

Cao Rui thought for a moment.

Finally, he took out the Pure World token and handed it to Shang Yueling.

"I need to see your value to calm the doubts of the Qingqiong Realm cultivators."

"Otherwise, I will take back this token at any time."

Shang Yueling bowed to Cao Rui: "Please rest assured, Tianzun."

"I will give you a satisfactory answer."

At this moment, another escaping light suddenly rushed from the horizon.

"Grand Elder! What happened? Hmm? Who is this man? Is he an enemy?" The escaping light landed behind Shang Yueling.

The light dissipated, and a figure appeared inside. It was a middle-aged male cultivator, who was looking at Cao Rui with a hostile look.

Shang Yueling's beautiful eyes turned slightly, remembering that Cao Rui had previously asked not to publicize the existence of the Pure World.

He immediately said: "This is my friend, not my enemy. There is nothing to do here. You can leave."

"Grand Elder, please be careful, otherwise I will stay with you..." The male cultivator seemed reluctant to leave.

"Go!" Shang Yueling scolded coquettishly.

The middle-aged male cultivator stared at Cao Rui very vigilantly for several times. In the end, he bowed and retreated.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh." Shang Yueling said.

Cao Rui nodded slightly: "Get ready for the next gathering."

Cao Rui sneered, formed seals with both hands, and quickly activated the puppet invisible body.

His figure became blurred in an instant, and then disappeared from Shang Yueling's sight.

Although Shang Yueling could sense Cao Rui's existence with her spiritual sense, her eyes could not capture any trace of him.

The next moment, Cao Rui flashed and disappeared from the spot as if teleporting.

Then, he performed several flashes in succession, at a very fast speed, and in the blink of an eye he was far away from Shang Yueling.

In Shang Yueling's spiritual sense, Cao Rui's breath became weaker and weaker, and soon disappeared completely.

"What a terrible method, it's not like a human cultivator can have it." Shang Yueling exclaimed in her heart.

"No, this should be a clone of Tianzun." Shang Yueling suddenly thought of it in her mind.

Under the moonlight, Shang Yueling, dressed in red, stood there quietly, with a thoughtful look on her face.

......

"Although Shang Yueling is extremely cunning, at least she showed enough attitude."

On the other side, Cao Rui rushed to the original body, put away the energy clone, and thought secretly in his heart.

Shang Yueling explained the origin of the Dark Moon Demon Sect in detail, saying that the Dark Moon Demon Sect was forced to evolve from the Dark Moon Sect, which was undoubtedly to show Cao Rui her position.

With her intelligence, she must have an outstanding performance in the next "Pure World" gathering against the other members.

"However, the situation in Ningzhou is somewhat special, and Shang Yueling needs further observation and testing. Therefore, it is not appropriate to place the teleportation base directly next to Shang Yueling. Even if it is to be placed, some necessary measures must be taken to restrict it at the initial stage."

"This can prevent the demon cultivators in this state from taking the opportunity to go to Shengzhou or Yunzhou in an unexpected situation, thus causing unnecessary trouble."

Cao Rui drove the escape light and quickly arrived at the lake. Through the teleportation base, he successfully crossed the space and came to Xiazhou.

"I don't know how the progress is on Lingxiao Sword Ancestor's side. I guess the negotiations in Xiazhou will not go smoothly."

Cao Rui unfolded his consciousness, carefully observed the surrounding environment, and chose a direction to continue on his way.

......

But after arriving in Xiazhou, Lingxiao Sword Ancestor's powerful consciousness at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage quickly unfolded like a tide, covering a large area.

Soon, he found several flying cultivators.

Lingxiao Sword Ancestor used the escape light and quickly caught up with these foundation-building cultivators.

Facing the Nascent Soul cultivators, these foundation builders naturally answered all questions.

Through communication and inquiries with these cultivators, he had a preliminary understanding of the situation in Xiazhou.

Xiazhou has a vast territory and more than four million cultivators, including various independent cultivators, small forces and cultivators from large sects.

And in this vast land, there are mainly five large immortal cultivation sects: Qingyun Sword Sect, Yanyang Sect, Shenmu Sect, Piaomiao Sect and Black Wind Valley.

These sects have profound heritage and strong strength, and each of them has at least one Nascent Soul cultivator in charge.

Among these five major immortal cultivation sects, Qingyun Sword Sect has become the leader of Xiazhou with its outstanding sword cultivation heritage and strong sect heritage.

And the leader of Qingyun Sword Sect, Gu Qingfeng, is a sword cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, and his strength is well-known throughout Xiazhou and even the entire Qingqiong Realm.

After careful consideration, Lingxiao Sword Ancestor finally decided to go directly to Qingyun Sword Sect to communicate with Gu Qingfeng face to face.

As cultivators who also practiced swordsmanship, they might have more common topics, and Lingxiao Sword Ancestor believed that Gu Qingfeng would understand the current predicament facing the Qingqiong Realm.

He did what he said.

Lingxiao Sword Ancestor asked about the location of Qingyun Sword Sect and fled towards it.

Soon, Lingxiao Sword Ancestor arrived at the Qingyun Sword Sect.

He did not deliberately hide his aura, but instead released his powerful peak aura of the Nascent Soul Stage without reservation.

This terrifying pressure is like a heavy mountain weighing on people's hearts, making them almost breathless.

Therefore, when he first appeared outside the Qingyun Sword Sect, the mountain-protecting formation was immediately activated, and the monks in the sect were all ready to watch this uninvited guest with vigilance.

Lingxiao Sword Ancestor stood in the air above the Qingyun Sword Sect's mountain-protecting formation. He stood tall and straight, with his hands behind his back, and his expression was calm and calm.

His eyes were like two sharp swords, revealing an endless fierce aura.

Then, he gathered his magic power and his voice resounded throughout the Qingyun Sword Sect like a loud bell: "I am the Lingxiao Sword Ancestor. I have no ill intentions in coming this time, so you don't need to be nervous. I just want to see Gu Qingfeng, the head of your sect, and have a chat. thing.”

As his words fell, a buzzing sound sounded. Immediately afterwards, a ray of light flashed, and Gu Qingfeng's figure instantly appeared dozens of meters in front of Lingxiao Sword Ancestor.

This distance is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous distance for Yuanying monks.

However, Gu Qingfeng dared to get so close. There was naturally a reason for this - this was the location of his sect, and he had enough confidence and confidence to face any challenge.

Gu Qingfeng is eight feet tall, has a stern face, looks like a young man, and his whole temperament is like an unsheathed sword.

Lingxiao Sword Ancestor looked at this man, somewhat like himself when he was young.

"Pindao, Lingxiao Sword Ancestor, leader of Hongzhou Demon Slayer Alliance." Lingxiao Sword Ancestor slightly cupped his hands and introduced himself.

When Gu Qingfeng heard this, he frowned slightly and didn't seem too surprised.

He seemed to have no intention of inviting Lingxiao Sword Ancestor into the Qingyun Sword Sect's gate.

"You are the Lingxiao Sword Ancestor, and you are very powerful. No wonder you can gather so many monks to serve you." Gu Qingfeng looked at the Lingxiao Sword Ancestor. He was also a sword cultivator. He felt the fatal pressure from the Lingxiao Sword Ancestor. more obvious.

Lingxiao Sword Ancestor was slightly surprised. This was his first time in Xiazhou. This person seemed to know him?

"No need to be surprised. Our sect has already sent monks to Xiazhou to investigate the truth." Gu Qingfeng said.

It turns out that there have long been rumors of demonic invasion in the Xiazhou Immortal Realm.

For this reason, Qingyun Sword Sect specially found a teleportation array and sent monks to secretly teleport there to gather information.

Just like Cao Rui and Lingjian Sect in Yunzhou.

Although they knew that the demons were invading and they could reach Hongzhou, they chose to hide their identities and not expose them.

It was obviously his intention to sit on the sidelines.

"Since you already know about the demon clan, why don't you want to help?" Lingxiao Sword Ancestor was also a straight-tempered person and asked directly.

Gu Qingfeng's expression did not change. He sighed softly and said firmly: "I don't think we Xiazhou monks need to take action yet."

"Sect Master Gu, when do you think it will be your Xiazhou monks' turn to take action?" Lingxiao Sword Ancestor frowned and asked.

Gu Qingfeng shook his head and looked at Lingxiao Sword Ancestor with firm eyes: "If you, Sword Ancestor, are here to persuade Qingyun Sword Sect to go to Hongzhou, then you may be disappointed."

He paused and continued: "Unless the demons invade Xiazhou, our Qingyun Sword Sect will never go out of the state to fight against the demons."

Ling Xiao Sword Ancestor shook his head slightly, with a look of helplessness on his face: "If our Demon Slayer Alliance fails, do you know what will happen to Xiazhou?"

Gu Qingfeng shook his head: "Aren't you still defeated?"

"You are such an idiot." Lingxiao Sword Ancestor laughed angrily.
