In the following days, the cultivators of the Four Divine Sects of Morning Sun Peak faced more and more intense battles.
In the past, it was because he was weak that he tried his best to hide within the protection of the formation, avoiding battle as much as possible. Now that the strength of the higher-ups had increased slightly, their confidence had also increased, and the number of battles had also increased.
However, in terms of overall strength, the subordinates of Patriarch Qiu and Patriarch Dong were stronger. Be it Perfected Golden Core, Perfected Nascent Soul, or Perfected Bu Xu, they had more people at each level than the Four Divine Sect.
Therefore, after a year of battle, not only did the Four Divine Sects fail to expel the evil spirits, but they also retreated to the Morning Sun Peak's defensive line.
Cheng Xuchun and the other two Ancestors were very depressed about this result.
On this day, Cheng Xuchun called Qin Di over and said that he had a mission for him, "Little Qin, our Four Divine Sect is temporarily on the defensive. The Morning Sun Peak is protected by the grand formation and our three Old Ancestors, so it can be said to be impregnable. However, we still have a few other places such as Spirit Valley Manor, River Heavenly Island, Golden Victory Peak, and so on. Although there are also grand formations, there is only one Void Step Realm guarding each of them. Especially Spirit Valley Manor, there have been many warnings coming from them, which involves a lot of our sect's energy. I know that you are very strong, so I want to send you to Spirit Valley Manor to help Old Ancestor Mu Xu. What do you think?"
Qin Di agreed. "Sure! The reason I came here was to train myself. I wanted to go out and fight. I wonder what Ancestor Mu Xusheng's background is? "
Cheng Xuchun said, "The Spirit Valley Manor used to be the Golden Pill Sect's base. Ancestor Mu was the Supreme Elder of the Golden Dan Sect and the Junior Brother of Ancestor Gu Xu Tian. He had been cultivating for three thousand and six hundred years and had stepped into the early stage of Void Step for nearly a thousand years. His cultivation base is considered relatively strong among the early Void Step cultivators. With the protection of the grand formation, he can fight against an intermediate Void Step cultivator. "
Qin Di continued, "Reporting to Sect Leader, I am strong in offense but weak in defense. If you want me to kill someone, I can slash once and then run away. My chances of winning are very high. But if you want me to guard the formation, I'm afraid that won't work."
Cheng Xuchun nodded. "Of course I understand. That's why I asked you to work with Ancestor Mu. Ancestor Mu took on the role of a teacher and guarded the front of the Spirit Valley Manor. You can act as a surprise weapon and kill as you please. "
Qin Di smiled, "Disciple is only afraid of being trapped in the manor by a Void Step expert, unable to escape. Facing a Void Step celestial phenomenon with a radius of several thousand li, I am powerless."
Cheng Xu Chun smiled and said, "In times of crisis, as long as you alert me with your identity token, I will arrive in half a cup of tea's time."
Qin Di thought to himself, not to mention half a cup of tea's time, even if it's just two or three breaths, he'll be dead!
However, since he had chosen to train himself, he had to face all kinds of risks, so he agreed without hesitation.
Before he left, he couldn't help but ask, "Sect Master, is there a teleportation formation that leads to the Spirit Valley Manor? Wouldn't it be much more convenient if there was a teleportation array? "
Cheng Xuchun shook his head. "There are restrictions around the Sacred Fire Lake, and the teleportation array is easily affected by the immortal spirit vein. Our Four Divine Sect has tried it many times, but guess what happened? Half of them were teleported to the Holy Fire Lake! That would be a great loss! "
Qin Di was speechless, he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Cheng Xu Chun looked at him and said, "It will be a dangerous journey, do you want me to escort you there?"
Qin Di said, "As long as Ancestor Qiu and Ancestor Dong are not guarding outside, disciple should be able to charge through!"
"Good, then I wish you a safe journey! Guarding the Spirit Valley Manor is a great achievement. It won't be long before we launch our second counterattack after the Rite of Red Fire! "
Qin Di wasn't sure if Cheng Xu Chun knew about Ancestor Gu Xu Tian's resurrection, but if Gu Xu Tian didn't want to say it, he couldn't reveal it either.
So, he bid farewell to Ancestor Cheng and took out the Sky-reaching Ship.
Since he was going to face a big battle, he had to be fully armed. There was no need to use the Sky-reaching Ship!
Due to the nourishment of spirit qi, the burning of immortal fire and the soaking of the Yin Spring Water, the Sky-reaching Ship had already advanced to Grade 2 and was now a Grade 2 spirit treasure. As such, its flying speed had doubled.
Qin Di's confidence was boosted after he boarded the Sky-reaching Ship. Even if he encountered a Dao Integration Patriarch, he could escape if he couldn't beat them! The prerequisite was that he couldn't let the other party get too close to him! If they were to fight in close combat, he wouldn't even be able to defeat an early-stage Void Step cultivator. He had no choice. After all, he was only a Golden Core and his cultivation was too low – that was his shortcoming.
The moment Qin Di left Morning Sun Peak, he encountered three Nascent Souls. Each of them released their Dharma Characteristics that were dozens of feet tall and guarded less than 15 kilometers away from Morning Sun Peak.
Without hesitation, he took out three Grade 1 spirit treasure ebony arrows and imbued them with an inferior-level immortal fire, shooting them out with three stars each!
The ebony arrows were sentient and could adjust their direction automatically when they were near the target as long as the direction they were shot in was not too different! The three ebony arrows split up and flew towards the faces of the three Nascent Souls!
When the three Nascent Souls realized that a gigantic arrow was flying towards them, it was 300 feet long and seven to eight feet thick. All of them were shocked and released their divine powers hurriedly. Some of them drew their weapons to block it, some of them teleported to avoid it and some of them even reached out to grab it!
In the end, the one who reached out to grab it was the unluckiest and was struck in the head by the ebony arrow, causing the immortal fire to burn furiously!
The one who drew his weapon to block it did not manage to knock the ebony arrow away either. Instead, it changed its direction slightly. However, it still struck his cheek and the immortal fire burned as well!
The other Nascent Soul teleported a hundred feet away instantly. However, the ebony arrow changed direction and chased after him like a shadow! When he saw the other two Nascent Souls' Dharma Images being engulfed by the flames, he broke out in cold sweat and hurriedly teleported in a bid to escape.
However, the speed of the ebony arrow was even faster than his teleportation. He had only flown for five to six kilometers when the ebony arrow caught up to him! Instantly, the immortal fire burned furiously in the Nascent Soul's Dharma Image.
The Nascent Soul's Dharma Image was much smaller than the Void Step's Dharma Image. Therefore, the immortal fire burned very quickly. In less than ten breaths, the Dharma Images were burned to ashes, leaving behind only screams and some black bone particles. Then, a faint green smoke rose into the sky!
Many people on Morning Sun Peak were dumbfounded when they saw this!
In just the blink of an eye, three Nascent Souls blocking the gate had fallen. This was a huge matter.
Generally speaking, as the upper echelons of the Four Divine Sect, Perfected Void Step often cared about their reputation and were unwilling to attack Nascent Soul cultivators. Therefore, these Nascent Soul cultivators were getting more and more arrogant. They actually dared to enter less than 15 kilometers away from Morning Sun Peak and surround the low-level cultivators! Now, Perfected Qin had just come out and three Nascent Soul cultivators were shot down. How satisfying!
Qin Di had just put away the remaining black bone particles when he looked up and saw more enemies surrounding them from 20 kilometers away!
The little peach tree reminded him in time. There was an early-stage Void Step, six Nascent Soul cultivators and seven to eight Golden Cores.
Among this group, the Void Step cultivator was at the front, followed by the Nascent Soul cultivators and the Golden Cores. There were a total of 15 to 16 of them, each holding a weapon and looking like ferocious demons.
When the people on Morning Sun Peak saw this scene, they shouted, "Come back! Perfected Qin, come back! "
Qin Di snorted coldly and took out the Grade 3 Ebony Arrow. At the same time, he attached a Grade 4 Yin Wind Fire and a Grade 4 Red Lotus Fire to it and shot it at Perfected Void Step!
Perfected Void Step's Dharma Image was only five to six kilometers wide. However, it was very fast. With a long spear in hand, he charged over without dodging.
When the arrow arrived in front of him, he raised his spear and flicked it gently in an attempt to deflect it. However, the Grade 3 Ebony Arrow was even higher than the Grade 1 spirit treasure spear in his hand. Therefore, not only did he fail to deflect it, he was struck by the arrow instead!
In a split second, two immortal fires burned. One was directed upwards towards the brain palace while the other was directed downwards towards the torso and limbs.
Perfected Void Step roared and spat out a stream of black spirit water. However, the spirit water could not extinguish the immortal fire!
Qin Di was using a Grade 4 immortal fire that was much higher than ordinary spirit water!
As the Yin Wind blew the fire, a red lotus was born and a gigantic red lotus wrapped around Bu Xu's Dharma Image!
Perfected Void Step tried his best to slap it but even his arms were on fire.
At that moment, Perfected Void Step was scared as he turned and flew towards the Tongtian River.
However, although the Yin Wind Fire and Red Lotus Fire were only Grade 4, they burned at a faster speed than the Immortal Heart Moon Fire and were like a death sentence for Perfected Void Step. Perfected Void Step had only flown for a few hundred kilometers when he was incinerated by the blazing fire!
Screams of agony could be heard incessantly! The five to six Nascent Souls behind him were so frightened that they fled as well, let alone the remaining Golden Cores. They could only blame their parents for not giving them a few more legs.
Qin Di could not be bothered with them as well. He steered the Tongtian Vessel and followed closely behind Perfected Void Step. He was only relieved when he saw the black smoke rising into the air like a gigantic mushroom cloud.
