The Rakshasa Stone was the source of the Returning Peak's power. It possessed great power and was proven to be able to increase one's cultivation speed.
The opening of the Rakshasa Forbidden Area was undoubtedly explosive news. It caused a huge commotion among the direct disciples of the Returning Peak.
However, the strange energy was limited. In order to nurture outstanding disciples, the Returning Peak only limited the quota of ten direct disciples to enter the Rakshasa Forbidden Area to cultivate.
Now, the news had spread to all the direct disciples. Many direct disciples had already signed an alliance agreement and were trying to rope in the forces they had connections with.
However, it was difficult to rope them in. Although it was said to be an alliance, if they really joined, they would undoubtedly become a subsidiary force of the Returning Peak. Unless they had a strong relationship with the Returning Peak, no force would be willing to join the Returning Peak and be restrained by the Returning Peak.
"The time limit is ten days?" Xing Jue was a little surprised. The time limit was indeed too tight.
"It's not just a test of the direct disciples' strength, but also a test of their background and connections."
"In fact, the direct disciples' masters are also traveling with them. In order to get the disciples to the forces they want to rope in faster, many inheritance elders have been mobilized."
"However, they will only escort the disciples to the destination. As for how to rope in the disciples and which forces to rope in, it depends on the disciples' own abilities. As elders, they cannot interfere. This is the rule set by the Sect Leader." Elder Zhuge smiled.
"Do you have a suitable choice now?" Elder Zhuge continued to ask.
"Master, what do you think of the Dali Dynasty?" Xing Jue chuckled.
He already had a suitable target. The target was naturally the Dali Dynasty. Although the Dali Dynasty was not as powerful as Mount Wuzhi, it was still a first-rate force in the world.
Putting aside the fact that the Emperor of the Dali Dynasty was an Asura Martial God, the Dali Dynasty's sphere of influence alone was worth roping in. Therefore, Xing Jue was confident that as long as he could rope in the Dali Dynasty, he would definitely get one of the ten spots.
"If it's the Dali Dynasty, it should not be a problem to obtain the spot to enter the Rakshasa Forbidden Area. However, are you confident that you can rope them in?"
Elder Zhuge agreed with Dali Dynasty, but he was worried about whether Xing Jue would be able to win it over. After all, Dali Dynasty had a long history and did not have any close relationship with any forces. It was an independent country.
"I once saved the Emperor and Prince of the Supreme Court, so they owe me a favor. Moreover, the Supreme Court has a very good impression of the Hermit Peak and you, Master."
"If it were the other four peaks or the other heir disciples, they would most likely be rejected. However, if it is me, I am somewhat confident," explained Xing Jue with a smile.
Xing Jue was a hero in the Imperial City of Dali Dynasty. After all, he had saved the Emperor and the Prince, the current and future rulers of the dynasty.
With Xing Jue's understanding of the Emperor and the Princes, it should not be a problem for him to win them over. Moreover, it was not without benefits to form an alliance with the Hermit Peak.
"If so, let's not waste any more time. Let's go now." Elder Zhuge was overjoyed. It was not because the Supreme Court had a good impression of him, but because Xing Jue had saved the Emperor and the Prince without making it public.
On the same day, Xing Jue and Elder Zhuge set off. They did not ride the mechanical jade cranes because under Elder Zhuge's lead, the mechanical jade cranes were indeed not enough.
The journey was quite far. Although Dali Dynasty was in the center of the world, it was opposite to the Hermit Peak. It was much further than the center of the world at the center of the source of souls.
Under normal circumstances, even if Xing Jue used the mechanical jade cranes, ten days might just be enough. However, with the escort of Elder Zhuge, the time was quite sufficient.
In the Space Tunnel, the blue flowing light passed quickly. Elder Zhuge and Xing Jue walked side by side. However, Xing Jue was covered by a layer of Boundary, which was connected to Elder Zhuge. Because of this, Xing Jue could maintain the same speed as Elder Zhuge.
"Asura Martial God, one day, I will also have such speed."
Xing Jue sighed in his heart. Elder Zhuge was a middle-level Asura Martial God, and his speed was terrifying. However, if Xing Jue, who had mastered the Soul Devouring Technique, could become a beginner-level Asura Martial God, his speed should not be much slower than Elder Zhuge, who was a middle-level Asura Martial God.
Day and night alternated. Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. After two days and two nights of non-stop travel, Xing Jue and Elder Zhuge arrived at the center of the world. They would arrive at Dali Dynasty in two days.
"Rumble ~"
However, at this moment, a rumbling sound came from the depths of the Space Tunnel. The blue space also began to tremble. In the blink of an eye, a dark purple energy ripple appeared in front of them.
"Huuu ~ ~"
The terrifying energy swept over like a flood, with ghostly wails and wolf howls. It was so fast that it covered Xing Jue and Elder Zhuge in the blink of an eye.
"Swoosh swoosh" Elder Zhuge did not panic despite the sudden change. He waved his sleeves continuously, and the terrifying energy wave brushed past Xing Jue and Elder Zhuge.
However, even so, Xing Jue could still feel the powerful majesty. It was an extremely terrifying power, and Xing Jue felt an aura that he could not resist.
At this moment, Xing Jue was shocked, because he didn't feel the attack at all. This meant that the person who attacked was extremely terrifying. If it wasn't for Elder Zhuge being by his side, even if he didn't die, he would be heavily injured.
"I am Zhuge Changqing of the Hermit Peak. May I know who is the expert that is blocking our way?"
When the energy wave subsided, the Space Tunnel became quiet again. Elder Zhuge did not continue forward. Instead, he stood in front of Xing Jue and looked into the depths of the Space Tunnel.
Seeing that, Xing Jue felt even more uneasy. It was the first time he had heard his master announce his name. Moreover, from Elder Zhuge's solemn attitude, he could feel how terrifying the person who had attacked was.
"Leave Xing Jue behind, and I will spare your life."
An old and hoarse voice came from the Space Tunnel. This voice seemed to belong to an elder, but it was obviously disguised. It seemed as if this person did not want Xing Jue and Elder Zhuge to remember his voice.
"Xing Jue, they are coming for you." At this moment, the Soul Exalt's voice came. He had been hiding in Xing Jue's body all this time, so he had clearly felt everything that had happened.
"I know. It's just that Master and I did not tell anyone about our journey. Who knows our whereabouts?" Xing Jue's eyes flickered. He suspected that it was the people from the Hermit Peak who had attacked them.
For the time being, only the people from the Hermit Peak knew about the opening of the Rakshasa forbidden ground. As for how they were able to confirm Xing Jue and Elder Zhuge's whereabouts, if someone had investigated about Xing Jue beforehand, they should be able to find out that Xing Jue had an extraordinary relationship with the Dali Dynasty.
However, thinking about it carefully, there were probably less than three people from the Hermit Peak who could make even his master fear them. They were the sect leader, Granny Heavenly Silkworm, and the Great Elder.
It was obvious that the sect leader and Granny Heavenly Silkworm would not attack them. The Great Elder had been in closed-door cultivation for close to a thousand years, so it was even more impossible for him to be the culprit. At that moment, Xing Jue could not figure it out.
"Senior, why don't you speak frankly?" Elder Zhuge spoke again. At the same time, he had already sent a voice transmission to Xing Jue, "Xing Jue, I will hold this person back later. You leave this place quickly."
"But what about you, Master?" Xing Jue was shocked. The person who had stopped him and his disciple was obviously not simple. He was worried that Elder Zhuge would not be able to handle it.
"Don't worry about me. I have a way to protect myself," Elder Zhuge replied with a voice transmission.
Boom, boom, boom.
At that moment, there was another rumbling sound in front of the tunnel. This time, a giant palm whizzed out. The hand was a hundred feet long and had sharp nails like the giant claw of an ancient beast. It was extremely terrifying.
"Let's go."
Elder Zhuge shouted. At the same time, he slammed his palm on Xing Jue's chest. Although it did not cause any damage, Xing Jue retreated rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he flew thousands of meters away.
Boom, boom, boom!
After sending the Punishment Art flying, Elder Zhuge waved his sleeves, and a small, crystal-clear folding fan appeared in his hand.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
The small folding fan contained a powerful force. When it was waved, runic light flowed. Accompanied by countless ripples, the folding fan easily shattered the horrifying giant hand.
Although they were both Pseudo Honorable Weapons, Elder Zhuge's folding fan was obviously much more powerful than Lu Yuan's. Coupled with Elder Zhuge's strength, the folding fan was very powerful.
Swoosh.
After smashing the giant hand, Elder Zhuge did not stop. He turned into a stream of light and flew toward the depths of the tunnel. He intended to confront the person who had attacked him.
"Damn it."
Seeing that his Master was trying to buy time for him, Xing Jue did not dare to delay. He flew toward the direction where he had come from. However, after flying for a few miles, Xing Jue found that he could not continue to fly. The exit of this space tunnel had been blocked by a super strong person with terrifying means.
Bang.
With the exit blocked, Xing Jue waved his sleeve and wanted to open the space tunnel. However, there was a muffled sound and Xing Jue was knocked dozens of meters away. The space tunnel could not be opened.
"No wonder the tunnel was not damaged after such an attack. So it was strengthened by a barrier." At this moment, Xing Jue frowned. He could see that this attack was premeditated.
A super strong person knew the route that the two of them were going and used a powerful method to find the space tunnel opened by his Master. Then, the super strong person blocked everything here in advance and attacked the two of them.
Boom, boom, boom.
Another ear-piercing roar came from the depths of the tunnel. At the same time, there was a sound like the roar of a beast. It was the sound of energy ripples spreading. It meant that his Master was fighting with the super strong person to the death.
"Soul Exalt, help me."
"Coming."
The Soul Exalt transmitted all his power to Xing Jue. At the same time, Xing Jue used Soul Explosion. His strength instantly increased to the level of a low-level Asura Wargod.
