More than a thousand miles west of Tianji City, there was a ravaged valley with sinister winds. Because the sinister winds came from the cold underground, the wind was light black, hence the name Black Wind Valley.
Many demonic beasts and souls that were born with the sinister winds filled the entire valley, such as Wind Devouring Beasts, Yin Devouring Birds, Earth Fiend Yin Spirits, etc. This made Black Wind Valley a place that even Qi Gatherer cultivators did not dare to enter.
Wu Qiang was a seventeen or eighteen year old Leaving Body Stage cultivator. He followed his father, Wu Man, to the outskirts of Black Wind Valley to hunt some demonic beasts that were unique to this area. Unfortunately, the two of them were unlucky and encountered an underground sinister wind. The strength of the demonic beasts and Yin Spirits increased greatly, and they were slowed down by the wind. Naturally, they were chased along the way.
In their panic, the two of them went deeper and deeper into the valley. They were about to reach the center of Black Wind Valley. Unfortunately, their luck ended there. The two of them were surrounded by a large number of Qi Gatherer demonic beasts and Yin Spirits. In the end, Wu Man burned his life to raise his Qi Gatherer cultivation by half a stage before he was able to send Wu Qiang out of the encirclement.
Wu Qiang slowly woke up in a hidden cave. Thinking of his father's tragic death, he was extremely sad. After he was sent out by his father, he continued to be chased. By chance, he rolled down the hill and found this cave. There were tree roots at the entrance of the cave, and a gale blew through the gorge, blowing away all traces and aura that Wu Qiang left behind. He even blocked spiritual perception, so it was difficult for the demonic beasts and Yin Spirits to discover him. They could only search the entire mountain.
However, after Wu Qiang recovered his spirit and some of his strength, he discovered that the demonic beasts were slowly approaching the cave. Although they had not discovered him yet, it was only a matter of time given how meticulous they were in their search. Wu Qiang was momentarily in a dilemma. Should he rush out and take the path of death, or should he stay here and pray that something happened elsewhere to attract the attention of the demonic beasts?
Just when Wu Qiang was getting more and more desperate, those Demon Beasts and Yin Souls suddenly raised their heads to look at the sky, and then they all rushed up the mountain and into their lairs. It felt like they were fleeing, and Wu Qiang was overjoyed, but he was also puzzled.
Just as Wu Qiang was about to leave the short cave and head out of Black Wind Valley, he saw an oily green cloud float down from the sky. A thin old man walked out from within. He was dressed in a green Daoist robe and had a huge head. Even though he was hundreds of feet away from Wu Qiang, Wu Qiang felt like he was in an illusion, suffering the pain of a Yin ghost devouring his soul. Thankfully, the large-headed eccentric had found a clean rock and turned the green cloud into a green cloud bed. After sitting down, the terrifying aura converged a little.
"Jindan, Jindan Grandmaster!" Wu Qiang shouted inwardly as he trembled. Although he had never seen him before, the terrifying aura and pressure made Wu Qiang understand that this was definitely a figure on the same level as Jindan Grandmaster. He shrank into the short cave, not daring to move. He converged his aura, afraid that he would be discovered by the green-robed eccentric. The other party would definitely not mind refining him into Yin fire.
Esteemed Ghostsob had scanned most of the area with his perception and did not find anything abnormal. Just as he was about to scan the last spot, he let out a sinister smile and shouted into the sky, "Old Ghost Xingzhao, you sure came early." To him, someone who had attained Golden Core should be at least two hundred years old. That was enough to call him an old ghost.
Wu Qiang was startled when he heard Esteemed Ghostsob's shout. He thought that he had been discovered. Fortunately, his name was not Xingzhao. Then, he saw a nebula that seemed to contain an infinite number of stars appear in the sky. It then landed several hundred feet away from Esteemed Ghostsob. A middle-aged cultivator with an ordinary appearance appeared in the nebula. He turned the nebula into a cloud bed and sat cross-legged on it. Although his appearance was ordinary, his ferocious aura was comparable to that of the big-headed eccentric. It seemed that he was also a Jindan Grandmaster!
Shi Xuan smiled at Esteemed Ghostsob and said, "No matter how early I am, I'm not as early as you, Old Man Ghostsob." Now that he was a Jindan Grandmaster, Shi Xuan naturally let go of his apprehension and fear. He spoke to Esteemed Ghostsob in a relaxed tone. At the same time, he slowly scanned the area with his perception and found something strange. However, that Leaving Aperture Stage kid was not worth attacking, and he was not used to killing innocent strangers. Even if he had revealed today's secret, he and the others would have already entered the cave abode. When they came out, there would only be Shi Xuan, and not Xingzhao.
Wu Qiang's curiosity was piqued by the secret gathering of the two Jindan Grandmasters. However, before he could make any guesses, the middle-aged cultivator glanced at him with a faint smile. He was immediately scared out of his wits. If he had not been used to staying still, he might have jumped up on the spot. However, that Jindan Grandmaster called Xingzhao did not make any follow-up movements. Wu Qiang finally came back to his senses. Since he had already discovered him, why didn't he attack? Weren't they afraid that he would reveal the secret of their conspiracy?
Esteemed Ghostsob sneered and said, "I'm the one who called the meeting, so I naturally have to come earlier. Unlike you, Xingzhao. You've had that token for god knows how many years, but you're only willing to come out now. You've wasted so many years of everyone's time." He used his perception to scan the area that he had not scanned earlier. Although Xingzhao had also checked, Esteemed Ghostsob only trusted him. He did not know that Shi Xuan had already done something to prevent Esteemed Ghostsob from discovering Wu Qiang hiding inside.
Shi Xuan smiled faintly and said, "I wouldn't have dared to come if I hadn't reached the Golden Core Realm. Alright, two more Daoists have arrived. " At this moment, a deep black cloud appeared in the sky, and a golden sword gleam appeared. Their auras were abnormally terrifying.
"It's Hei Yun Old Ghost and Xuan Old Ghost." Esteemed Ghostsob knew that Xingzhao was not familiar with them, so he introduced them.
Hei Yun Sanren Lin Shenhe, ranked 61st on the Tianji Ranking. He possessed the Divine Light of Bipolar Magnetism, and the Haoran Sword was mysterious and real. He was ranked 57th on the Tianji Ranking. He was a sword cultivator, and he cultivated the Haoran Sword Qi. For a sword cultivator, their sword qi was equivalent to a normal cultivator's divine light. Only a genius like the Old Sword Elder was able to cultivate the Boundless Sword Qi at the Divine Soul Stage. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to become the goal of sword cultivators for thousands of years.
Wu Qiang was shocked and terrified to discover that two more Jindan Grandmaster had arrived in the short cave. One of them was a young man in his late twenties. He was tall and strong, and he wore a loose robe that seemed to be tight on his body. The other one was a middle-aged and elegant man. He wore a silk scarf on his head, and was dressed in scholarly attire. He had a gentle smile on his face.
"This, this, why are there so many Jindan Grandmaster? It's over, it's over. I must have stumbled upon the plot of these old demons. I'm dead, I'm dead!" The Jindan Grandmaster that Wu Qiang saw today was even more than the ones that other people of his generation had seen. However, the first one he saw was Esteemed Ghost Cry, so he naturally classified the others that came after him as old demons that had lived for hundreds of years. In his fear, he forgot that Shi Xuan had already discovered him. Moreover, after Shi Xuan had done something to his ears, he could only see, but not hear.
"This must be fellow daoist Xingzhao. Three days ago, you startled a lot of people when you swaggered through the streets. If I hadn't helped you hide it for a while, I'm afraid that the Rogue Cultivator Alliance would have come looking for you." Xuan Yizhen smiled relaxedly. As for why he could hide it, it was because he was one of the nine great elders of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. As for why he had to hide it, it was because it was better to go treasure hunting with these low-level Jindan elders than to go with the middle-level Jindan elders of the alliance. At least here, his strength was firmly above the others, and he would definitely be able to get the biggest harvest.
Shi Xuan cupped his hands in obeisance. "Thank you for your kindness, fellow daoist Xuan." His attitude was neither flattering nor arrogant, and it fully displayed the bearing of a Jindan Grandmaster.
Lin Shenhe also turned the black cloud into a cloud bed and sat down. He frowned and asked Esteemed Ghost Cry, "Old Ghost Cry, why haven't those kids at the Spirit Soul Stage arrived yet?" If his Bipolar Magnetic Divine Light had reached the Jindan Stage under normal circumstances, it would have been a very powerful kind of Jindan Divine Light. It was similar to the power of Shi Xuan's Shenxiao Heavenly Thunder Divine Light. Unfortunately, he had used the inner core of a Heaven Devouring Magnetic Beast to reach the Dao, so he couldn't display its full power.
Esteemed Ghost Cry said disdainfully, "Those guys at the Spirit Soul Stage who are hiding are naturally afraid that we will snatch their tokens and kill them to silence them. If they hadn't observed carefully and confirmed that there were no problems, they wouldn't have dared to appear." If it weren't for the fact that only one person could enter with one token and that he couldn't snatch the other tokens, Esteemed Ghost Cry would have definitely brought his disciple, Book Ghost, with him. Therefore, when he mentioned those Spirit Soul Stage cultivators, he wasn't in a good mood.
The Spirit Soul Stage cultivators hadn't come for a while, and the four of them weren't good friends. They couldn't even be considered acquaintances. Therefore, they all closed their eyes and adjusted their breathing. The scene suddenly quieted down.
After a quarter of an hour, a ray of light flew over very slowly from afar. Under the gaze of the four Jindan Grandmaster, it landed anxiously. It was a young man with delicate features. He was wearing the clothes of the Miao Tribe in the Southern Barbarian Mountain Range. His head was wrapped in a white headscarf, and he was tightly holding the token in his hand. It seemed that as long as there was an abnormality here, he would use a secret method to destroy the token and end it all.
"This is Fellow Daoist Hui Ye. He was one of the first people to discover the Divine Dao cultivator's cave dwelling. He's the most familiar with what's inside. I've confirmed the existence of those two treasures through him." Esteemed Ghostcry put away his impatience and introduced with a gloomy smile.
When Hui Ye saw that the other Jindan Grandmaster didn't have any abnormalities, he gathered his courage and saluted, "Hui Ye greets seniors."
Xuan Yizhen's tone became slightly fervent, "Are you sure that those two things exist?" Even Lin ShenHe's gaze became focused. Only Shi Xuan, who came later, didn't understand.
Hui Ye said with a sincere expression, "Junior can confirm it." Immediately, Xuan Yizhen and Lin ShenHe let out a sigh of relief in satisfaction. At the same time, the two of them slowly sized up the other three Jindan Grandmaster. These were their opponents to seize the treasures.
Shi Xuan was just about to ask if there were any high-grade magic tools that could suppress inner demons inside. When the Divine Soul Stage cultivators saw that Hui Ye was fine, they all relaxed. Thus, five rays of light flew over one after another. There were three men and two women.
This scared Wu Qiang as if he was in a nightmare. There were so many Jindan Grandmaster, so many Divine Soul Stage experts. He had really encountered a shocking conspiracy. If it wasn't for the fact that he still had a trace of consciousness left in him, he might have already fainted.
