Perfected Being Cang Lang laughed sinisterly and said coolly, "I obtained this Spirit Lock Flower from the Great Qian Ruins and it was nourished for dozens of years before it was revived!"
At the mention of the Great Qian Ruins, the expressions of Liang Heng and the other three changed as they gasped secretly with a hint of fear in their eyes.
A long time later.
"The Great Qian Ruins is about to open, right?"
"Yes, it's about to."
"Heh! There's only a slim chance of survival in there. Even if it opens, I won't enter again. "
Perfected Being Cang Lang said with lingering fear, "The previous time, I merely circled around the periphery and nearly died in there!"
Tan Hao grinned. "Seems like you really think highly of this Su Zimo, Fellow Daoist Cang Lang. To think that you're willing to take out an extinct ancient fiend flower like the Spirit Lock Flower."
"Isn't it a little overkill to use the Spirit Lock Flower against a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?" Gao Hu asked dully.
One had to know that the Spirit Restricting Flower had the ability to restrict spiritual energy.
Putting away the Spirit Lock Flower, Perfected Being Cang Lang said coldly, "I've said it before, even a lion will use its full strength to catch a rabbit! I won't allow any accidents to happen in this kill! "
Tan Hao nodded. "With the Spirit Lock Flower, that lad's strongest trump card, his secret skill that can conjure a divine dragon, will be rendered useless."
"Furthermore, it's useless even if he enters the Jin Dan realm! With his spirit energy sealed, he won't be able to release any methods of the Jin Dan realm. Even if there's a formation outside, he won't be able to escape even if he has wings! "
True Fire Sect's Sima Zhi's eyes lit up and he got more excited the more he spoke.
"Wings?"
Perfected Being Cang Lang sneered, "Don't forget, he won't be able to use the secret skill of Misty Peak, Ethereal Wings! He can only stand on the ground and look up at us! "
Gao Hu grinned. "In that case, as long as we stand in the air, that lad won't be able to hurt us no matter what methods he has or how strong his physique is. As for us, we can attack him wantonly! "
"That's right."
"Wonderful! That's great!"
The five of them exchanged glances and laughed with relaxed expressions.
"After we kill that lad, it's best for us to discuss the distribution of his treasures first so that there won't be any unnecessary conflicts later on," Liang Heng said indifferently.
"Don't worry, we'll stick to our original plan."
Perfected Being Cang Lang said in a deep voice, "This lad's Dragonification secret skill and connate spirit weapon will be handed to Fellow Daoist Liang Heng. His body tempering technique will be handed to Fellow Daoist Gao Hu. His sword formation technique will be handed to Fellow Daoist Tan Hao and his weapon refinement technique will be handed to Brother Sima."
"As for the spirit stones, elixirs, and spirit artifacts on him, the five of us will split them equally!"
"That would be great."
Liang Heng and the other three nodded, secretly rejoicing.
Gao Hu, for example, was a body refiner himself. What attracted him the most was Su Zimo's body refinement method.
This could be considered as both sides taking what they needed.
Just as the crowd was about to disperse, Sima Zhi suddenly frowned and asked, "I heard that during the attack on Misty Peak last time, this female disciple of yours disobeyed your orders and didn't participate. This time, she will help us deal with her lover?"
"Since the two of them are childhood sweethearts, their handwriting must be familiar. If you forge it, I'm afraid you'll be exposed." Tan Hao was very calm.
"Hmph!"
Perfected Being Cang Lang harrumphed coldly with a dark expression. "This time round, it's not up to her!"
Sima Zhi and the others felt their hearts skip a beat.
Looking at the killing intent in Perfected Being Cang Lang's eyes, he was probably going to have to sacrifice this disciple of his in order to kill Su Zimo!
"That traitorous disciple is going to be a disaster if we keep her by our side!"
Perfected Being Cang Lang narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Coincidentally, she's going to form her core recently, fufu. It's not that easy to enter the Jin Dan realm. It's only normal for accidents to happen along the way. "
…
A month later.
Misty Peak.
In the cave abode, Su Zimo sat cross-legged with his palms facing up on his knees. His eyes seemed to be closed and his aura was even. His entire body emitted a tranquil and ethereal intent that made him seem ethereal like an immortal.
After an unknown period of time, Su Zimo opened his eyes and let out a long breath, waking up from his meditation.
"It's still not working."
Su Zimo shook his head.
For the past month, he had been cultivating with qi condensation while comprehending the Tidal Manual and Shura Saber, summarizing the many spirit arts and secret skills that he had mastered ever since he entered the immortal Dao.
Although the immortal Dao and demon Dao were both core Daos, there was a stark difference between them.
The demonic Dao was completely about controlling one's mind and condensing demonic qi continuously. When the conditions were right, one could subdue dragons and tigers before condensing an Inner Core.
However, the immortal Dao was more about comprehension.
Not only would it be easy to cause problems by forcing core formation, the Jin Dan phenomenon formed might not be able to meet one's expectations.
Therefore, Su Zimo did not dare to be careless.
Half a month ago, his spirit energy had already reached its limits and his spirit sea could no longer expand.
In other words, he was already at the peak of Extreme Foundation Establishment!
Under such circumstances, Su Zimo attempted to form his Jin Dan for core formation.
Up till this point of his cultivation, he had dabbled in too many things. Not only did he cultivate immortal Dao cultivation techniques, he even cultivated many fiend Dao cultivation techniques.
However, immortals and fiends had different Daos and were far apart.
Immortals emphasized on the natural Dao and the unity of man and nature.
As for fiends, they were extremely stubborn and walked unconventional paths.
Su Zimo's spirit energy was of the fire attribute to begin with. However, many of his cultivation techniques such as the Sea Calming Manual, Tidal Manual and Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra were related to water.
Immortals and fiends were incompatible and water and fire were incompatible.
Half a month had passed and Su Zimo had yet to take that step forward.
If he tried to form his core forcefully, there would definitely be a huge problem!
"The timing isn't right,"
Su Zimo was in deep thought.
In terms of cultivation, the right time, right place and right people were required to break through the barrier of major cultivation realms. One had to comprehend Heaven and Earth, encounter opportunities and coincidences and combine many factors together.
Some people comprehended the Dao by watching the water beside a stream.
Some had an epiphany after touring the famous mountains and rivers.
Some formed their core on a whim after listening to the wind and watching the rain fall.
Some severed their mortal ties and resolved karma. With that, their thoughts were clear and they formed their Jin Dan …
Of course, there were even more who stopped before they formed their core and regretted that they grew old!
Su Zimo rose and floated down from the bed. His gaze was clear, calm and deep as the sea as he murmured softly, "Seems like it's time for me to go out for a walk."
Right then, there was a soft knock on the door.
Su Zimo waved his sleeves and the door opened.
Nien Qi stood at the door and looked inside.
"What is it?
Su Zimo came to her side and asked softly as he looked at the paper crane in her hands.
The paper crane was the most common method of communication in the cultivation world. It was a type of talisman and was created by one of the four unorthodox groups, the Chigurumon.
Nien Qi handed the paper crane over. "This is for you, young master. It's written on the outside of the paper crane that it's an old friend from Ping Yang Town."
Su Zimo frowned slightly.
There was probably only one person who could be called an old friend of Ping Yang Town and knew of the paper crane communication technique.
Su Zimo received the paper crane and opened it slowly.
There were a few lines of beautiful and fresh handwriting written on the paper crane.
"Zimo, I failed to form my core and my spirit meridians were shattered. I'm severely injured and have returned to Ping Yang Town to recuperate."
"Our relationship has been severed and I shouldn't have disturbed you. However, recently, I feel that my lifespan is approaching and I don't have much time left. I hope that you can return and see me one last time. "
