Chapter 37: Tianqin Enters the Devil (Part 2)

  At this moment, the small iron club emitted a buzzing sound, and golden light flowed around it, as if it was telling the sea dragon something. The sea dragon's eyes lit up, saying: "Treasure, treasure, you saved me, didn't you? I knew you were the best to me. Thank you, thank you, I, Sea Dragon, am not dead. It's great! I'm not dead!" The sea dragon was extremely excited, jumping around in the cave, even when he bumped his head on the rocky ceiling and saw stars, he didn't care. At this moment, he suddenly felt that being alive was so wonderful.

  Holding the small iron rod tightly in his arms, Hailong said: "Baby, thank you. You've given me another life. From now on, no matter what, I'll always carry you with me. Without you, I don't know how many times I would have died already. Let's go out, I want to find that bastard Xing Tian and settle the score." As he spoke, Hailong walked towards the entrance under the light of the Seven Repair Sword. When he reached the stone slab under the Tianqin cloth, Hailong suddenly stopped and shook his head: "No way, I'm not going anywhere now. With my current cultivation level, it's impossible for me to take revenge on Xing Tian. Except for this small iron rod, I have nothing else. At least until I reach the Unfallen Realm, I'll have a chance to fight against someone like Xing Tian. And Tianqin might come back to see me too. Let's just stay here and cultivate quietly. With my comprehension skills, it won't take long for me to reach the Unfallen Realm. At that time, with this small iron rod as my aid, I can conquer the world." Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Hailong sank his mind completely into the golden elixir of his spiritual platform, relying on his desire for power, he began a long period of arduous cultivation.

  For a cultivator, a hundred years is just a fleeting moment. In the mountains, there is no Jiazi, and before he knew it, Haichuan had been cultivating in Xianzhao Mountain for three hundred years. Xianzhao Mountain has abundant spiritual energy, giving birth to countless living beings. Except for closed-door cultivation, Haichuan occasionally goes out for a walk, and the five peaks of Wuzhao Xian have all had his shadow. Since being robbed by Daoming Zhenren in Moyun Dongfu back then, Haichuan has had a special fondness for this method of eating immortal grass. In the later legend of Wuzhao Xian, within three hundred years, he encountered an unknown evil spirit and was robbed, causing a large number of spiritual medicines on the mountain to be wasted, resulting in a shortage of elixirs.

  With a few forceful gasps, the Sea Dragon heavily punched the wall and exclaimed in frustration: "Why is it still not working? Why can't I enter the realm of no descent? It's been almost a hundred years already, and I'm still stuck at the later stage of Xianju. This is really infuriating."

  After going through a process of death and rebirth, Hailong was reborn again. Although the unknown golden light did not enhance his cultivation, it solidified his meridians once more. Generally, cultivators could only progress gradually in their practice. If they cultivated for too long, the accumulated spiritual energy would become too massive, making it difficult for their meridians to bear. Hailong was different; having gone through two cycles of destruction and rebirth, his meridians had become incredibly resilient. Every time he closed himself off to cultivate, he could manipulate his spiritual energy at will, without any concerns. With his innate talent, roots, and the countless spiritual medicines from Wuzhao Xian, he advanced by an entire realm in just two hundred years, progressing from the later stages of the Embryonic Breathing stage to the later stages of the Radiant Hauling stage. However, having reached this point, he also arrived at one of the most difficult hurdles for cultivators: transitioning from the Radiant Hauling stage to the Unfalling stage. Once past this hurdle, he would transcend the Three Realms and no longer be bound by the Five Elements; his life would no longer be restricted, and as long as nothing unexpected happened, he would live as long as heaven and earth, shining with the same radiance as the sun and moon. For a full hundred years, Hailong repeatedly attempted to break through the Unfalling stage but was met with failure time and again, leaving him greatly disappointed.

  Leaning against the stone wall, the dragon sighed softly and muttered to himself: "It seems that this unyielding boundary is indeed difficult to break through. Tianqin, have you forgotten me? Why haven't you come to see me even once? Perhaps time can really dilute everything. Three hundred years have passed, and even if you've forgotten me, it doesn't matter. After all, we only had that one moment of love. Maybe you already have a new life now, I won't disturb you. Being with me has caused you too much harm. Anyway, since I can't break through this boundary, I shouldn't stay here any longer. Who knows, maybe under the stimulation of the outside world, I'll suddenly gain enlightenment and enter the unyielding cycle. Three hundred years without leaving this place, I wonder what the outside world has become like." As soon as he decided to leave, the dragon's chest felt a surge of blood, after all, he had been cultivating here for three hundred years and had deep feelings for this place. Now that he was about to leave, his heart couldn't help but feel a hint of reluctance.

  "Xing Tian, Xuan Yu, you two should still be alive. Wait for me, I'll go find you to settle the score." With a deep glance at the empty cave, Hai Long let out a clear whistle and forcefully smashed through the rocky entrance of the cave. The fresh and slightly chilly air continuously caressed his body, and Hai Long felt invigorated, "Xiao Yun'er, come quickly." A flash of light, and a pale yellow cloud appeared beneath Hai Long's feet. His entire body relaxed, as if he had fallen into a pile of cotton, feeling an indescribable comfort. This cloud was something he had cultivated according to the memories left behind by Liu Er Miao Hou after entering the Xia Ju realm. Although it wasn't very large in size, its flying speed was extremely fast. Hai Long vaguely felt that even the Azure Cloud of Piaoyao Daozun from back then couldn't compare to his little cloud's speed. It was precisely because of this cloud's incredible speed that he could repeatedly steal the immortal herbs and spirit fruits from the five sects of Wuzhao Xian without getting caught.

  Hai Long's ban on Xian Zhao Mountain was so familiar that he didn't rush to fly high, but instead floated up along the mountain wall of the main peak. His Tian Ming clothes, Jin Zhong Zha and Yun Ding armor were all damaged, and now except for a small iron stick, only three useless treasures, Qi Xiu sword, Blood Ba Gua and Huan Long, remained on his body. Not even a piece of clothing was left.

  As he reached the top of the peak, Hai Long easily climbed onto the back hall of Wuzhao Xian Jin Zong. This was where the disciples lived, and Hai Long used his hidden track technique to transform into a colorful small bird. He lightly landed on the wall head of the back hall.

  Hai Long's transformation technique was different from that of ordinary cultivators. Although ordinary cultivators could also change their shape and appearance when they reached a certain level, they were limited to changing their body shape and appearance based on their own bodies, and there were certain restrictions. But Hai Long was different, his transformation technique had no restrictions at all, and he could transform into anything he wanted.

  This was completely due to the effect of his divine power and the memory of the six-eared macaque's Gong Fa left behind. Even Hai Long himself didn't understand how it worked.

  He flapped his wings a few times and looked inside the hall, seeing two small Daoist priests who were only in the Fuhu period sweeping the courtyard. The entire back hall was quiet and gave off a sense of serenity.

  Hai Long had an evil thought and carefully distinguished between the disciples, finding one who was about the same size as him. He spread his wings and slid to his side, and with a flash of green light in his bird eyes, the clothes on that disciple's body suddenly disappeared, leaving only a piece of cloth to cover his shame.

  Among the Jin Zong disciples practicing here were not only male disciples but also female disciples. The disciple whose clothes had been blown away by Hai Long felt a chill run down his spine and suddenly woke up from his meditation state. "Ah——, where did my clothes go?" he shouted loudly, instantly waking up the other disciples.

  The female disciples' screams echoed back and forth, and the entire back hall was thrown into chaos.

  The purpose of the sea dragon has been achieved, and it flapped its wings to fly out of the back hall and towards the front hall. Lightly landing on the roof of the main hall, it used its heavenly ear to eavesdrop inside. There were people in the hall, and a familiar voice said: "Big brother, we've suffered heavy losses this time! Mu Song and Huo Jie's physical bodies are both broken, if not for our timely rescue, I'm afraid even their primordial spirits wouldn't have been able to return." The sea dragon's heart moved, and it suddenly remembered that the speaker was Shi Zhaoyan, the sect master of the Five Shining Immortals Water Sect. The one being called "big brother" by her would naturally be Jin Yi, the sect master of the Golden Sect. Indeed, only to hear Jin Yi say: "Ah, third sister, although our Five Shining Immortals' disciples are not lacking in exceptional talents, compared to Lian Yun Sect, we're still far behind. Now that the evil path is rampant and has secretly suppressed my righteous path, making it unable to move, Mo Sect's Li Tian and Yao Sect's Jin Shi San are both unusually difficult to deal with. I really don't understand, with their current cultivation, they've already entered a realm equivalent to the late stage of the Dou Zhuan for hundreds of years, so why haven't they undergone the demonic tribulation or the monster tribulation yet? As long as they're around, my righteous path will never have a chance to turn things around! Third sister, have you taken care of Mu Song and Huo Jie's primordial spirits?"

  Shui Yun nodded and said, "It's already been taken care of. After all, their cultivation is deep, so I used the method of reincarnation to help them rebirth. It's estimated that it will take three or four hundred years for them to recover to their original state."

  Jin Yi said: "You've worked hard. After this great war, all seven orthodox sects have been severely injured. It's said that even the Heavenly Dao Zun has entered the late stage of his cycle, and in at most a few hundred years, he'll likely ascend to transcendence. If he doesn't come to deal with the demonic Mo Sect's Lie Tian, I fear the orthodox way is doomed." Shui Yun said: "Actually, although the three evil sects are very powerful, if we were to invite out those retired seniors..."

  "Absolutely not, we cannot disturb those seniors in their quiet cultivation. Don't forget, the evil path also has high-level experts of that level. Once they are provoked to participate in the battle between good and evil, it may lead to a catastrophe for all living beings. Their Taoist skills are too profound and have already become unsuitable for our realm. This time, two Daoist masters from Lianyun Sect died, and the master of Jietian Sect recently showed us his Lingzha, asking us to temporarily close the mountain gate with the Xian array, accumulate strength, and prepare for the next decisive battle. Fortunately, Lü Tian was severely injured by the joint efforts of him and several other Daoist masters; otherwise, if the three evil sects didn't hide, our righteous path wouldn't even have a chance to breathe. Oh, right, what about the news on the Old Lord's Record? Have you heard anything?"

  Shui Yun shook her head and said, "Not for the time being. The emergence of this treasure will inevitably bring more unnecessary conflicts to the already chaotic Divine State. Big brother, I think it's better if we don't get involved." Jin Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Sometimes, you can't help but participate. Lao Jun Lu represents the highest cultivation method in our Xiu Zhen realm. Legend has it that whoever obtains it can reach the state of enlightenment in a short period of time and will have an unparalleled advantage when crossing the Heavenly Tribulation. If one cultivates Lao Jun Lu to its highest level, there's even a possibility of reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation. The temptation is too great, and although I've cultivated for over 3,000 years, my heart still stirs with excitement. What I fear most is that Lao Jun Lu will fall into the hands of the evil path. If they comprehend its secrets, our righteous path will surely perish. Third sister, continue to send your elite disciples to gather information. As soon as we have any news about Lao Jun Lu's whereabouts, we'll set out immediately, no matter the cost. We must obtain it and bring it under my control. Only then can we revive our sect."

  Having heard this, Hailong had already understood a lot. It seemed that this was the goal of his trip, and perhaps with this cultivation method, he could rise to prominence in a short period of time, break through the unyielding boundary, and rush towards the path of immortality. Thinking of this, Hailong flew triumphantly in the air, following the mountain path downwards, and after more than an hour's effort, finally arrived at the foot of Xianzhao Mountain.

  A flash of light, and the dragon transformed back into human form. He was already wearing the Taoist robe he had stolen from Wu Zhaoshi's disciple. He adjusted his hair and beard, muttering to himself: "Transforming into a bird to fly is really slow, far inferior to my little cloud." Finally leaving this place behind, no matter what, I will never again put myself in a situation where I might die. Looking back, he gazed deeply at the mist-shrouded Mount Xiānzhaō, let out a soft sigh, and then rose into the air, stepping onto his spiritual cloud to head off into the distance.
