Chapter 89: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind

  In the sky, a silver cloud boat was flying rapidly. In the cloud boat, Kong Fang was sitting cross-legged.

  "These days my luck is really good, I've been encountering these lucrative tasks one after another." Kong Fang had a hint of a smile on his face, this time he received 1,700 contribution points from the Wooden Path Sect. Being able to receive so many contribution points at once not only required strong equipment-refining abilities but also a bit of luck. After all, such tasks were not common and even if a sect published such a task, Kong Fang might not necessarily encounter it.

  Take a step back, even if Kong Fang can encounter such a task, it's not necessarily possible to surpass other inner disciples. Just like this time's task, if Kong Fang couldn't appear with the Fire Refining Golden Body during the refining process, he wouldn't have had such a huge harvest.

  "Before leaving the sect, I was short of over 2,000 contribution points to exchange for the Five Elements Mirror, but now I'm only short of less than 1,000. As long as I can encounter one or two more decent tasks, I'll be able to accumulate enough contributions." Thinking that he could exchange for a Heaven-Defying Treasure, Kong Fang's heart became somewhat excited.

  Congenital treasure is a treasure that completely surpasses acquired treasure. For Kong Fang, who can only refine low-grade acquired spiritual treasures now, he is still far from acquiring an acquired treasure, let alone the gap between congenital treasures and acquired treasures.

  Kong Fang had some doubts in his heart, whether the Pre-Heavenly Supreme Treasure could be refined by humans. At least in the Qi Sect, Kong Fang had never heard of anyone who could refine a Pre-Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, let alone a Pre-Heavenly Supreme Treasure.

  Xingyunzhou flew quickly all the way, Kong Fang calculated a little contribution point, and then directly cultivated in Xingyunzhou.

  Only to see the earth-turning law force circulating on Kong Fang's body, shaking non-stop, and inside Kong Fang's body, a faint muffled sound was transmitted.

  "Bang bang", two muffled sounds followed one after another, repeating endlessly. There was no pause between the two sounds, making them sound very smooth and rhythmic. However, every time the second sound just ended, Kong Fang's body would show a slight fluctuation in his earth-based Taoist powers, and then the rhythmic sounds would immediately stop, feeling as if they had been cut off by a knife, stopping extremely abruptly.

  He closed his eyes, furrowed his brow slightly, and then tried again.

  Kong Fang was cultivating the Ninefold Nirvana, and only when he reached the peak of the Ming Shen realm could he unleash all his power. In other words, only by reaching the peak of the Ming Shen realm could he create a terrifying scene where an attack would trigger 81 layers of power to explode simultaneously, with each layer stronger than the previous one.

  The terrifying attack power is that even the stronger cultivators at a higher boundary would retreat in fear, as before, the master of the secret mansion had already reached the peak of Tongshen Boundary, while the creator of the Nine-Yuan Nine-Heavy Decision was only at the initial stage of Tongshen Boundary, but the master of the secret mansion was still severely injured and defeated, it can be seen how terrifying this Taoist method is.

  In each boundary, the number of heavy powers that can be cultivated is limited. For example, in the Lingering Soul Boundary, Kong Fang can only cultivate up to five heavy powers at most. To cultivate the sixth heavy power, one must break through to the Entering Spirit Boundary. Otherwise, it cannot be cultivated because this involves the depth of law and the strength or weakness of the body.

  Although it's just an additional layer of power, the latter layer of power in the Ninefold Repeated Refining is stronger than the previous one. The stronger power also represents a more terrifying consumption of spiritual energy and physical burden. When the cultivator who created this technique first passed it down, he left some warnings that people in the Soul Summoning Realm can only cultivate up to five layers of power; any more would put their lives at risk.

  Kong Fang's divine soul has now reached four zhang, and with the powerful divine soul combined with the Qian Xing cultivation method, Kong Fang's magical powers are extremely robust. However, even so, Kong Fang can currently only cultivate the third level of power. As for the fourth and fifth levels of power, Kong Fang is unable to cultivate them. It's not that his body can't withstand it - his body, which has merged with the dragon king's essence blood, can fully withstand it. The problem is that Kong Fang's magical powers are unable to support such a terrifying level of consumption.

  Time and time again he tried, time and time again he failed, but Kong Fang never gave up the idea of giving up, still working hard to cultivate according to the operation method in Tao Fa.

  More than 4,000 miles ahead of Kong Fang, a silver cloud boat was parked beside a mountain forest lake. Three brothers from the Lingbao Hall, including Yuan Wei, were waiting with some impatience on their faces.

  "Big brother, are we really going to deal with that Kong Fang?" one of them asked hesitantly.

  Yuan Wei glanced at the speaker and said coldly, "Jin Qi, brother, we've come this far, what, do you want to back out now?"

  "No, no, I didn't mean that." Jin Qi was startled and hastily denied it. "What I meant is that Kong Fang has been a disciple of the inner hall for only half a year, would he really have a large amount of treasures on him? If he doesn't have a lot of treasures on him, we'll kill him but gain nothing, and in the end, we'll still be guilty of killing our fellow disciples."

  Another disciple with a somewhat sinister appearance smiled strangely and said, "You can rest assured about this, I've already investigated. Some time ago, Kong Fang went to the Lingbao Hall to exchange contribution points, and among the treasures he took out were a storage ring, a low-grade later-stage spiritual treasure giant knife, and a Cloud Chariot. However, that Cloud Chariot didn't come from our Qizong, but was a white Cloud Chariot. Think about it, how did he get that Cloud Chariot? Do you think he has the ability to snatch a Cloud Chariot worth 1,000 contribution points in just half a year after becoming an inner disciple?" The sinister youth's eyes flickered with greed.

  "Are you saying that he might have been lucky enough to get a cave left behind by some immortal?" Jin Qi's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.

  At this time, Yuan Wei nodded and smiled: "Except for this possibility, there is no other possibility. A treasure left by a cultivator must not be just this little, Kong Fang must have only exchanged the treasures that can be taken out for contribution points, as for other more precious treasures, they must still be in his storage ring. And did you notice that Kong Fang won a lot of treasures again yesterday, but he exchanged all these treasures for contribution points? What does this mean? It means that he wants to accumulate a large number of contribution points to exchange for something."

  "The news I've heard is that Kong Fang has already accumulated over 5,000 contribution points, but he hasn't used them to exchange for the Five-Star Soul Refining Method. Instead, he's started doing tasks again. It's clear that Kong Fang has big plans and it's highly likely that he's aiming for the Ten-Star Soul Refining Method. If Kong Fang didn't have a large amount of treasures to support him, how could he afford to spend so much time accumulating 5,000 contribution points? You've all been inner disciples for several years now, you should know how difficult it is to accumulate contribution points. So I'm guessing that Kong Fang is doing this to deceive everyone, while doing tasks and slowly taking out some treasures to exchange for contribution points. This way, he can quickly accumulate 10,000 or even more contribution points. As long as we kill him, the three of us will get a lot of treasures, and at that time, we'll also be able to get the Five-Star or even Ten-Star Soul Refining Method." Yuan Wei's words became increasingly excited, his eyes shining brightly.

  Jin Qi and that disciple with a gloomy face also had excited glints in their eyes, the allure of the Ten Star Soul Refining Method was just too great. As long as they had the Ten Star Soul Refining Method, their divine souls would be able to grow stronger at a speed faster than others.

  In a mountain valley over a hundred miles away from here, Pang Tiānshēng lay on his back in the Cloud Chariot, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on the sky.

  "I'll cut off your hope of exchanging for the Five-Star Soul Refining Method, no, I'll cut off your hope of exchanging for the Seven-Star Soul Refining Method. You can use your life to repay me instead." Pang Tian Sheng sneered coldly, "Let those three fools fight each other to the death first, and then I'll make my move, taking all their treasures for myself. Who knows, maybe the treasures I get will be enough for me to exchange for the Ten-Star Soul Refining Method. Indeed, killing people and stealing their treasure is still the fastest way." Pang Tian Sheng's face revealed a pleased smile, he who was ranked among the top ten inner disciples had enough confidence, believing that others would not be able to escape his pursuit.

  Mantis catches cicada, yellow sparrow behind, but just because of self-confidence, Pang Tian Sheng may not necessarily be that yellow sparrow.

  P.S: I'd like to ask for some recommendations and hope everyone can vote more, thank you.
