Shen Hong retreated.
Marquis Beiyun turned a blind eye to it.
He only promised Xi Yang to defend the city, but he didn't promise to help him destroy the army of Wuan Prefecture.
He had done his best to defend the city and make Shen Hong take a detour.
As for other things.
Marquis Beiyun didn't intend to get involved.
For Shen Hong, now that Marquis Beiyun was in the city, unless he wanted both sides to suffer, there was no hope for him to break into the city.
But if he went all out to attack the city.
He was unwilling to do so.
The army of Wuan Prefecture was not the only army in the coalition army.
Although breaking into the imperial city was their main goal now, after the imperial city was destroyed, the fight for the throne would be another matter.
So.
Shen Hong also needed to preserve his strength now to avoid losing to others in the fight for the throne.
He didn't want to do anything for others.
He didn't want to do it, and he wouldn't do it.
Although Shen Hong's efforts were in vain because of Marquis Beiyun.
However, in the other two places, the Alliance Army crushed the Imperial Court's advantage like a hot knife through butter.
The imperial court was defeated so quickly.
The first reason was because of the rebellion of the Xichong Army led by Qin Yangbo.
The second reason was that Marquis Pingchuan, Duan Ze, also betrayed the imperial court at the critical moment.
Two vassals rebelled.
In an instant, the imperial court's advantage was wiped out.
That was not all.
Because of the two vassals' rebellion, the imperial court's army also suffered a great loss. In the end, they had to abandon their territory and retreat in defeat toward Zhongzhou Prefecture.
Boom!!
An evil demon fell.
Qin Shujian swallowed the red lotus, and his life force finally soared to 20 billion points.
20 billion points of life force.
It had long exceeded the amount of life force needed to upgrade the Guiyuan Ancestral Scripture to perfection.
But during this time.
Qin Shujian had been crazily hunting evil demons, and he didn't even waste the short time to improve his strength.
So even if he had accumulated 20 billion points of life force, he still didn't upgrade the Guiyuan Ancestral Scripture.
After the demon was killed, Ye Zichen's eyes lit up.
He directly consumed 10 billion points of life force to upgrade the Guiyuan Ancestral Scripture to the tenth level of the Divine Martial Arts.
Then.
It was an improvement in all aspects of his body.
"The peak of the Divine Martial Arts Realm!"
Qin Shujian closed his eyes and felt the increase in strength in his body. A feeling of fullness rose in his heart.
After a long while.
He opened his eyes again.
The peak of Divine Martial Arts.
It was the limit of the realm that could be reached under the heavens.
Without the help of the Red Lotus Of Purgation, it would have taken him decades to reach this stage.
But now, that time had been shortened by over a hundred times.
Subsequently.
He turned his attention back to his Attribute Panel.
Level 40 of the Guiyuan Ancestral Canon (High Grade Divine Level): Level 10 Ancient Immortal Body, Level 10 Impenetrable Body, Level 10 Red Lotus Of Purgation
It was a simple attribute.
There were no other changes due to the breakthrough in his cultivation technique.
However, after all three traits reached level 10, Qin Shujian gained unparalleled strength.
Immediately after.
He then turned his attention to other cultivation methods and martial arts.
Apart from the dao-level martial arts and the Guiyuan Ancestral Scripture, all other martial arts cultivation techniques had a plus sign that indicated they could be upgraded.
However, Qin Shujian simply glanced at it and ignored it.
For him.
Before the Guiyuan Ancestral Scripture broke through to the Celestial Realm, all other cultivation techniques had to be put aside.
Nothing was more important than breaking through to the Celestial Realm.
Although there was only a fine line between the peak of the Divine Martial Arts Realm and the Celestial Realm.
But it was this fine line that made the difference between the two.
Now, there were still more than ten billion life sources left, but there was no plus sign on the Guiyuan Ancestral Scripture that could be upgraded.
Qin Shujian thought to himself, "I'll find a way to harvest ten billion life sources. If there is still no sign that it can be upgraded, then I can only take the path of He Cheng cultivation technique."
"Or rather."
"I can directly learn a divine cultivation technique and then upgrade it to the Celestial Realm. In this way, my own realm will also break through."
For a moment.
Qin Shujian had arranged two backup plans for himself.
If 20 billion life sources could not upgrade the Guiyuan Ancestral Scripture, then he would go back to the old path or learn other cultivation techniques to break through.
The former would take time.
The latter.
Perhaps other divine cultivation techniques might not be as powerful as the Guiyuan Ancestral Scripture after breaking through to the Celestial Realm, but it would take much less time.
There were pros and cons to both.
It just depended on what he chose.
As for the divine cultivation techniques, Qin Shujian also had them.
When he destroyed the Heavenly Corpse Sect, he moved all the other party's belongings, including the divine cultivation techniques.
"The Demon Clan also wanted to take advantage of Marquis Beiyun's absence to test the waters in the Beiyun Mansion. They were also unwilling to be left out."
"The situation in the imperial court is also changing constantly. I don't know when this fire will burn me."
"To put it bluntly, the one with the bigger fist has the final say."
Qin Shujian skimmed through the information during this period of time and had an idea in his mind.
The imperial court was easy to deal with.
As long as he did not take the initiative to get involved, whether it was the imperial court or the rebels, they would not attack him for no reason.
But the Demon Clan was not so easy to deal with.
The Celestial Realm cultivator who attacked before was just a test and also a sign.
If they attacked again later.
Then it would not be as simple as one or two Celestial Realm Demons.
Thinking of this.
The joy of breaking through to the peak of the Divine Martial Realm was also gone.
Fortunately, there was still Jiang Feng overseeing Yuan Sect. Although this Sky Corpse's intelligence was not high, its strength was truly terrifying.
If he had not cut off Lian Guming's luck back then.
In that battle.
He would have been 100% defeated.
Lian Guming alone was not easy to deal with, let alone Jiang Feng.
Immediately.
Qin Shujian left where he was and continued his history of hunting demons.
— —
"Human …"
Boom!
"You …"
Boom! Boom!
"Just stand still. Why are you talking so much?" Qin Shujian looked speechlessly at the demon lying on the ground. He squeezed his wrist hard as if he was relaxing his muscles and bones.
As for that demon.
It was still in a state of confusion.
He did not know when it started. A person descended from the sky and then hammered it.
The strength of the person was so strong.
It had reached a level he had never seen in his life.
Even the Human Clan expert who defeated it and sealed it in the end did not completely crush it like Qin Shujian.
Suddenly.
This demon felt that times had changed.
He had thought that the Human Clan expert he had met back then was strong enough. He had not expected that an even stronger one would appear.
This strength was only reflected in the True Dominion.
However, for an expert like this …
If he was strong in the True Dominion, he would be an extremely powerful existence in the future.
He looked at the demon lying on the ground.
Qin Shujian did not feel much of a sense of accomplishment.
When he looked at it with his Dharma Eye, it was only a first-stage Heaven Being. In the True Dominion, it could barely condense a Universe Sky Lock.
With such strength …
Among the hundreds of Evil Devils he had hunted, it could be ranked in the bottom ten.
Therefore, there was nothing to be proud of.
Qin Shujian, who had originally wanted to use the Red Lotus Of Purgation to refine the demon, suddenly thought of something and stopped.
"Let me ask you a question. How many demons are there in the Fiend Abyss?"
"Human, I am afraid that I will scare you to death if I tell you."
Bam!
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge fist landed on the demon's face, causing flesh and blood to splatter everywhere.
Qin Shujian withdrew his fist as a blood-curdling scream was heard. Then, he said calmly, "Speak human language. How many demons are there?"
"I don't know!"
Bam!
"How dare you be so stubborn? How many demons are there?"
"I don't know … Ah!"
Bam!
"Very good. I didn't expect you to be so stubborn." Qin Shujian laughed out of extreme anger. As he looked at the demon under his feet, anger surged from the bottom of his heart.
How dare you be so stubborn at this time?
He was not prepared to talk nonsense with this demon. After all, if he could not get an answer from this demon, he could ask the next one.
Seeing that the demon still had some Fiend Qi left, Qin Shujian raised his fist.
He intended to exhaust the demon's remaining Fiend Qi first. Qin Shujian raised his fist again.
Upon seeing this …
The Evil Devil angrily said, "Human, I really don't know. The Devil Abyss is vast and boundless. No one knows how many Evil Devils there are. In any case, Evil Devils will be born every once in a while.
If you really want to know, you can go to the Fiend Abyss and take a look yourself. "
Bam!!
Another punch landed.
"Wu — —"
The demon was dumbfounded once again.
He clearly said it, but the other party still wanted to beat him to death.
He wanted to resist, but he couldn't do anything.
Ten minutes later.
The demon's Fiend Qi was exhausted. It was lying on the ground in a bloody mess. If it wasn't for its undulating chest, it would be no different from being dead.
Seeing this …
Qin Shujian withdrew his fist and waved his hand to set up a formation. Then, the Red Lotus Of Purgation ignited and swallowed the demon.
The Red Lotus Of Purgation swallowed the demon.
He was thinking about what the other party said before.
The Fiend Abyss was vast.
Even the demons did not know how many of their kind there were in the Fiend Abyss.
This news …
It was undoubtedly very shocking.
After all, the demon's strength was at least a celestial. In this case, how many demons were there?
A hundred thousand?
Or a million?
Or even more.
If that was the case, then the strength of the Fiend Abyss was very terrifying.
No one could guarantee when the Fiend Abyss would descend here. If such a thing really happened, not only him, but all the creatures in this world would be finished.
This was not him scaring himself.
Since demons could descend to this world, it meant that more demons could descend.
Even if there wasn't one now.
It didn't mean that there wouldn't be one in the future.
Qin Shujian had always had this sense of crisis.
It was just that it had unknowingly shifted from the players to the Fiend Abyss.
More importantly …
Based on the words of this evil devil, Ye Zichen didn't know what to do.
Every once in a while, demons would be born in the Fiend Abyss.
This meant that …
Even if he kept hunting demons now, he might not be able to weaken the Fiend Abyss too much.
"The Fiend Abyss is the real trouble."
"Compared to the Fiend Abyss, the players are nothing!"
When Qin Shujian thought of this, his train of thought suddenly changed.
"Maybe when the players collectively break through to the celestial level, they might be able to compete with the Fiend Abyss!"
Everyone was immortal and indestructible.
The number of players was more than the Fiend Abyss.
The more Qin Shujian thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.
However, according to the current progress of the players, it would take at least a hundred years for the first celestial level player to be born.
"The players are troublesome, the Fiend Abyss is also troublesome. If there is a chance to destroy both, things will be much easier."
Letting out a long breath, Qin Shujian looked at the red lotus in front of him.
After such a long time, the demon had already refined and gathered all the energy in his body on this red lotus.
Reaching out his hand …
He grabbed the red lotus.
In a few seconds, the red lotus was completely absorbed.
At the same time …
The source of life had once again broken through the 20 billion mark.
When the source of life broke through, Qin Shujian's attention was fixed on the cultivation method column.
If he couldn't break through the 20 billion source of life.
Then he would have to choose another path.
To be honest …
He didn't want to do this.
But if he stayed at the peak of the Divine Martial Arts for too long, it was also not what he wanted.
As the source of life broke through to 20 billion, there were no changes in the Guiyuan Ancestral Canon.
Seeing this …
Qin Shujian's heart sank.
"Is it not possible?"
Even though he was prepared, when he saw this news, he was still a little disappointed.
Suddenly …
Qin Shujian thought of another thing.
It seemed that when he had upgraded the cultivation method to perfection, he was stuck at the peak of the current realm, and there was no plus sign that he could upgrade.
When he broke through the Spirit Martial Arts Realm …
The source of life he stored was many times more than when he broke through the peak of the True Martial Arts Realm, but there was still no sign that he could upgrade.
It was just that Qin Shujian didn't care about this at that time.
For a moment, he forgot about it.
"F * ck, do I really have to fuse the cultivation method, or do I have to learn the God-connecting cultivation method of the Heavenly Corpse Sect?"
Qin Shujian couldn't help but complain.
He didn't want either of these two options.
Then …
His mind scanned the Guiyuan Ancestral Canon a few times unwillingly, hoping to trigger something.
"It is detected that your Divine Level Upper Level cultivation method, Guiyuan Ancestral Canon, has reached perfection, and you can consume 20 billion source of life to break through the limit!"
"Because breaking the limit of the cultivation method requires a certain amount of luck value to break through!"
"Note: The more luck value consumed, the higher the upper limit of the cultivation method after breaking through the limit!"
"Note: The minimum amount of luck value to inject is 100 points, and the maximum amount of luck value to inject is 10,000 points!"
The system prompt suddenly appeared.
At first, Qin Shujian was stunned for a few seconds, and then he revealed a look of ecstasy.
It was feasible!
The original limit of the cultivation method could be directly broken without fusing.
Looking at the Guiyuan Ancestral Canon, there was still no plus sign that could be upgraded.
Seeing this, Qin Shujian knew that this should be a hidden function.
Thinking of this …
Without any hesitation, he immediately chose to break through.
But when Qin Shujian was completely sure, he suddenly stopped.
"The breakthrough time is long, and the breakthrough time cannot be moved, please be prepared!"
The breakthrough time is long!
Cannot be moved!
These two points made Qin Shujian frown.
He looked at the surrounding environment, obviously it was not a suitable place to break through.
"I've been out for so long, it's time to go back, just in time to break through to the Heaven Realm in the sect, no one will disturb me!"
Soon.
Qin Shujian collected his mind, lifted his body into the air, and flew towards a nearby city.
This was Wu An Prefecture.
Unknowingly, he had already left Beiyun Prefecture.
Even if there was a teleportation gate, it would take dozens of consecutive transfers to reach Beiyun Prefecture.
Fortunately.
Qin Shujian was not short of money now.
Even if the cost of each transfer was very expensive, it was still within the range that he could afford.
It took more than half a day.
When the scene changed again, Qin Shujian found himself in a familiar place.
"Sect … Sect Master!"
"Disciple greets Sect Master!"
When the two Yuan Sect disciples guarding the teleportation gate saw the person who had suddenly appeared, they were stunned for a moment. However, they quickly reacted and bowed with an excited expression.
For many Yuan Sect disciples.
Qin Shujian was a legend.
Even some of the player disciples had great respect for Sect Master Qin.
Such respect.
Not because of other places, but because of his strength.
Qin Shujian nodded, and said casually, "No need to be so polite, is there anything unusual in Cold Mountain City during this period?"
"Sect Master, everything in the city is normal during this period."
"Good, thank you for your hard work!"
Qin Shujian revealed a gentle smile, and then left the teleportation gate.
On the spot.
Only the two native disciples were left standing there with excited expressions. For a moment, they were somewhat at a loss for what to do.
Sect Master's praise!
This was not a treatment that anyone could receive.
If he managed to catch the other party's eye because of this incident, then even if he didn't have a meteoric rise in his career in the future, he would definitely have a much better life.
Leaving the teleportation gate.
Qin Shujian was not in a hurry at this time, and did not fly away directly. Instead, he walked slowly in the city like an ordinary cultivator.
Since the establishment of Cold Mountain City.
He was considered a City Master, but he had not been here too many times.
At most.
Even if the number of times he had used the teleportation gate was included, it would not exceed the number of times he had come here.
"Speaking of which, I have neglected my duty as a City Master."
Walking in the city, Qin Shujian did not hide his appearance.
If he had to hide his identity in his own territory, then it would be meaningless.
Moreover.
Qin Shujian was not afraid of being famous.
If he had the strength and still had to hide his identity, then he might as well find a deep mountain and hide in it, and directly cultivate. Wouldn't that be better?
Anyway, he could not understand the mentality of such a person.
He was afraid of being famous.
And he wanted to be famous.
This was no different from taking off his pants to fart.
"Sect Master Qin!"
"Greetings, Sect Master Qin!"
As expected by Qin Shujian, there were still many people in Cold Mountain City who knew him.
Walking here, from time to time, people would stop and greet him. Their expressions were either polite or respectful, making him feel comfortable just by looking at them.
For a moment.
Qin Shujian was in a good mood.
He politely nodded and smiled in response to everyone. Along the way, when he reached the city gate, he felt that the expression on his face had become somewhat stiff.
After exiting the city gate.
He flew into the air and flew towards Yuan Sect.
In mid-air.
Qin Shujian rubbed his face hard, causing the originally stiff facial muscles to recover.
Although it was tiring to laugh.
But needless to say, he realized that this feeling was quite good.
Cold Mountain City was not far from Yuan Sect.
With Qin Shujian's flying speed, he did not even need a minute to appear at the foot of Cold Mountain.
"Disciple greets Sect Master!"
"Greetings Sect Master!"
"Greetings Sect Master!"
When the disciples in and out saw Qin Shujian, they all stopped and bowed respectfully.
At this time.
The news of Qin Shujian's return had officially spread.
Actually, when he appeared in Cold Mountain City, there were already disciples who had sent the news back.
When he arrived in front of the mountain gate.
Qin Shujian could not help but pause for a moment. His gaze fell on Jiang Feng who was sitting in front of the mountain gate's stone tablet.
This sky corpse had also sensed Qin Shujian's arrival.
However, it did not make any movements and continued to sit there cross-legged.
To this.
Qin Shujian did not pay too much attention to it.
He realized that his contact with Jiang Feng was not broken. This was enough.
As long as the contact was not broken.
Then, this Heavenly Corpse would still be under his control.
As Qin Shujian entered the sect, Niu Feng also came up to him and smiled: "Sect Master, what did you gain this time?"
"Not bad."
Speaking of gains, Qin Shujian also smiled and then changed the topic: "This time I need to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time. Put aside all the important things temporarily. Everything will be discussed after I come out of seclusion."
"Sect Master, are you going to break through again!?"
"Sort of!"
Qin Shujian replied ambiguously. He did not say whether he was going to break through to the Celestial Being Realm or the Divine Martial Arts Realm.
However, judging from Niu Feng's reaction, he obviously would not guess that he was going to break through to the Celestial Being Realm.
Seeing this.
Qin Shujian would not deliberately explain too much.
Before breaking through to the Celestial Being Realm, there was no need to deliberately publicize these things. Everything would be discussed after the breakthrough.
After a few simple words.
Qin Shujian did not meet the others and went straight to the forbidden area alone.
On the other side.
Niu Feng stood in place and did not come to his senses for a long time: "Sect Master should have broken through to the Divine Martial Arts Realm less than half a year ago. Now he is going to break through to the second level of the Divine Martial Arts Realm. The speed is really amazing!"
In his mind.
If it continued at this speed, in less than ten years, the Origin Sect would really have a Celestial Being Realm cultivator.
Thinking of this.
Niu Feng felt a little breathless and muttered to himself: "Is the reincarnation of a powerful figure really so terrifying? Breaking through to the next level is as simple as eating and drinking."
Compared to Qin Shujian.
Compared to himself.
Niu Feng felt the deep malice of this world towards him.
Regarding Niu Feng's thoughts.
Qin Shujian had no idea at all.
Now he had completely come to the forbidden area.
In order to ensure that there would be no accidents during the breakthrough, he deliberately took out the twenty-seven square disk and set up a powerful defensive formation around him.
The formation was set up.
Only the Celestial Being Realm cultivators could break it.
At this time, Qin Shujian was finally at ease. Then he calmed his mind and was ready to break through to the Celestial Being Realm.
He opened the attribute panel.
His consciousness fell on the Guiyuan Ancestral Canon. When the system prompt appeared, he directly chose to upgrade.
