Liang Zidao fell to the ground.
Yu Zhenghai sent his Jasper Saber flying again.
The Sovereign's Descent was a move that was like the surging waves of the sea, and its momentum was like that of a sovereign descending. The power and range of this move far surpassed that of the Mysterious Heaven Starlight.
The energy sabers swept down like seawater.
This included the flying chariot and the disciples of the Flying Star House.
With a desolate-grade weapon and a peak Eight-leaf cultivation base, the energy saber's power was on par with an Eight-and-a-half-leaf cultivator.
Thousand Willow Monastery's Tian Buji, Wuwu, and Ji Fengxing looked at the descending energy saber with dry mouths.
Perhaps it was because he had opened his mouth for too long, but when he breathed, the air seemed to be torn and hoarse. It was very uncomfortable.
Yu Zhenghai was pleased with his work.
He turned around to look at the crowd, wanting to see everyone's brilliant expressions.
As he wished, the people of the Thousand Willow Monastery widened their mouths.
"Second Junior Brother, you once said that if these corpses weren't chopped up, their location would be exposed. Since you've defeated Liang Zidao, you won't be angry if I take care of them, right? "
Without waiting for Yu Shangrong's reply …
Ji Fengxing said with a bitter expression.
"It doesn't make a difference whether we shatter it or not. How can the Flying Star House not notice such a huge flying chariot?"
"It's alright," Yu Zhenghai said, "If you're afraid, just run."
"…"
Yu Shangrong ignored Yu Zhenghai's boasting.
Instead, he looked at the Longevity Sword.
In the end, Liang Zidao used his talisman karmic fire to clamp down on the Longevity Sword. At the same time, the red runes carved on the sword were burned off.
The red runes had many uses. One of the most important uses was to absorb life force.
This was the greatest reason why the Melilot Nation had been able to survive until now.
If it weren't for that longevity pill, he would have reached the end of his lifespan long ago.
Without the red rune, he was not in a good mood. Moreover, his Seventh Junior Brother had searched all over Great Yan's nine provinces to obtain this rune. It was as rare as a heaven-grade weapon.
Yu Zhenghai glanced at it and stopped smiling.
Yu Shangrong sheathed his Longevity Sword. His expression remained unchanged.
The two of them flew toward the pavilion.
"The talisman paper karmic fire isn't simple," Yu Shangrong said.
Yu Zhenghai did not deny it. He nodded and said, "Without the red runes, your life …" He knew Yu Shangrong had consumed a longevity pill. Even so, it could only provide him with 200 years of life.
Yu Shangrong said indifferently.
"In that case, I'll attain the Nine-leaf stage …"
He did not know how much his lifespan would increase after reaching the Nine-leaf stage. However, his instincts told him that since it was so difficult to reach the Nine-leaf stage, it would increase his lifespan by quite a lot.
Yu Zhenghai said, "I didn't expect you to be at the Eight-and-a-half-leaf stage … Have you attempted to reach the Nine-leaf stage?"
"I tried."
During his time in the red lotus domain, he did not only spend his time teaching Ji Fengxing the basics of the sword path, but he also spent his time cultivating as well. When the time was right, he would attempt the Nine-leaf stage. The results were not bad. He was already at the Eight-and-a-half-leaf stage.
"Why didn't he reach the Nine-leaf stage immediately?" Yu Zhenghai was confused.
According to the normal process of cultivation, a peak Eight-leaf cultivator could attempt to attain the Nine-leaf stage. Most cultivators could successfully progress from the One-leaf stage to the Eight-leaf stage within three attempts. Those who were talented in cultivation could succeed in one try.
Although Second Junior Brother was proud, he had never been inferior to others in terms of cultivation talent. How could he not succeed in one try?
Yu Shangrong said, "The commotion from reaching the Nine-leaf stage is too great. If my avatar grows to 150 feet, it'll attract attention. As expected, I'll be temporarily weakened when I reach the Nine-leaf stage. I'll just find a secluded spot and break through it. "
"…"
Yu Zhenghai nodded.
Ji Fengxing and Wuwu heard their conversation without missing a single detail.
Ji Fengxing felt as though he was listening to a heavenly book.
No matter how talented one was, there was no one who did not want to reach the Nine-leaf stage as soon as possible. Yet, this man was forcefully stopping his progress.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you haven't attempted the Nine-leaf stage?" Yu Shangrong turned around.
"I'm still waiting for the right time … I have the desolate-grade Jasper Saber. I can protect myself. Second Junior Brother, on the other hand …"
"The red runes are external items. I'll get Seventh Junior Brother to carve another one when I return to the Evil Sky Pavilion."
As they chatted, it felt as though they were bickering with each other.
Wuwu and Ji Fengxing did not dare to interrupt.
After wiping out the Flying Star House, it was as though nothing had happened.
Tian Buji finally regained his senses … He flew over, bowed and said, "Can the two of you … have a chat in the hall?"
Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai exchanged a glance.
"Alright."
Now that his golden avatar was exposed, he did not know what the Thousand Willow Monastery's stance would be.
…
"Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 2,000 merit points. Domain bonus: 1,000 merit points."
Ever since the Evil Sky Pavilion spread its teachings to the world.
The cultivators under the heavens were looking for an opportunity to reach the Nine-leaf stage.
Currently, the Tian Sect's Nan Gongwei and the Yun Sect's Feng Yizhi were publicly acknowledged to be the most likely to attain the Nine-leaf stage.
Lu Zhou had been thinking about how he had reached the Nine-leaf stage. Jiang Wenxu's words had been verified. In that case, would he attract the beasts?
The notification from the Merit Points surprised him.
"2,000 points … They're at least Eight-and-a-half-leaf cultivators. Have they reached the Nine-leaf stage?" Lu Zhou wondered. "I hope so."
If Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were at the Nine-leaf stage, it would be much easier for them to protect themselves.
At this time, a voice came from outside the door.
"Greetings, master," Si Wuya said.
"Come in."
Si Wuya entered the room.
"Master, the two academies have come up with a new Formation. It'll be disseminated in a few days."
Lu Zhou was slightly taken aback. He did not expect this to happen so quickly.
Si Wuya explained, "In the past, the Imperial family controlled the blueprints. Now that the two academies and the Taixu Academy are working on it together, it's indeed much faster."
"Good."
"I've also ordered someone to dismantle the Sky Shuttle. The Formation and runes outside can only be activated by a Nine-leaf cultivator. It'll be difficult to repair them, "Si Wuya said.
"The Sky Shuttle can only carry one person. It can't see the outside world. Since the monk, Fa Kong, was able to arrive at the Evil Sky Pavilion so accurately, there should be someone waiting for him. Send someone to investigate the vicinity of Golden Court Mountain, "Lu Zhou said.
"Understood."
"Also, who do you think will be the second Nine-leaf cultivator in Great Yan?" Lu Zhou asked.
Si Wuya had thought about it as well.
He smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Eldest Senior Brother or Second Senior Brother … Eldest Senior Brother consumed the Red Fish's Heart to replenish his lifespan. Then, he consumed half of Chi Yao's Heart to replenish his lifespan by 600 years. If the remaining half is used properly, it won't be a problem for him to reach the Nine-leaf stage. Second Senior Brother was the first to sever his lotus and test his Dao, so he wasn't restricted by his lifespan. However, after Second Senior Brother fell into the abyss, I don't know what happened to him. "
"Who else?" Lu Zhou asked again.
Si Wuya considered it for a moment before he answered,
"Putting aside the hidden elites who might show up, among the known cultivators, the one who has the highest chance of reaching the Nine-leaf stage is Ji Qingqing, one of the eight great generals … Next is the Three Sects' Nan Gongwei and Feng Yizhi. The last one is … Senior Sister Tianxin.
"Ji Qingqing?" Lu Zhou did not have a good impression of this person.
"Xiang Lie was originally one of the eight great generals. During the battle of Liang Province, you killed him with Abandon Wisdom, master. Later on, the Imperial family ordered Ji Qingqing to take his place and defend Yu Province. She's already one of the eight great generals at such a young age. She's extremely talented in cultivation. If she were to cultivate again, she would probably be at the Eight-leaf stage already. Second Senior Martial Brother put down a hit list in Yu Province. For some reason, Ji Qingqing was so frightened that she ran away in the middle of the night. I don't know where she is now. "
In that case, it would be difficult to find that person.
If a Nine-leaf cultivator could attract beasts, how did Jiang Wenxu avoid them?
"Continue to investigate the Red Lotus Lurker and pay close attention to the movements of the berserk beasts."
"Understood."
"Also, I might make a trip to the red lotus domain and bring your Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother back."
Si Wuya was shocked. "If you leave, master, how will Great Yan defend against the beasts?"
The manmans and Qiong Qi were not existences an Eight-leaf cultivator could face.
"Hence … I'm waiting for the second Nine-leaf cultivator to appear."
"I understand, master."
After Si Wuya left the eastern pavilion.
Lu Zhou wondered if the second Nine-leaf cultivator was from the Evil Sky Pavilion, perhaps, he would feel more at ease. Alas, the Evil Sky Pavilion's Four Elders were old to begin with. They were nearing the end of their lives. Among his disciples, Ye Tianxin was the only Eight-leaf cultivator.
'Old Fourth?'
Lu Zhou thought of Mingshi Yin. 'Did he conceal his strength?
Although Conch is special, she's still far from reaching the Eight-leaf stage. She might not reach the Eight-leaf stage before Little Yuan 'er.'
When he thought about this, Lu Zhou shook his head. 'Let's try a lucky draw.'
"Lucky draw."
"Ding! Spent 50 merit points. Reward: Binding Cage Card x5."
'Binding Cage Card?
Item cards are expensive anyway. As long as there's a reward, it's worth it. '
"Lucky draw."
"Ding! Spent 50 merit points. Reward: Reversal Card x10."
…
Three days later.
Great Yan's southern region.
Inside a forest that towered into the clouds.
A middle-aged man knelt on one knee as he looked at the dozens of Restrictions outside the forest.
"The person who has the highest chance of becoming the second Nine-leaf cultivator, Nan Gongwei."
He had been hiding here for some time now, but he did not sense any Primal Qi fluctuations from reaching the Nine-leaf stage.
In the afternoon.
A large flock of flying beasts appeared in the skies.
The beasts began to converge and batter the dozens of barriers that surrounded the Three Sects and the ten holy lands.
The middle-aged man widened his eyes and muttered, "They're here."
