"I told you. What do you think you should do?" Patriarch Acheron sneered. "You'll suffer if you don't listen to your elders."
There was no time to go back. If he missed this chance, Ye Kong wouldn't be satisfied. Next time? One month or two? He couldn't wait.
"Right here." Ye Kong made a prompt decision. He took out a formation talisman for spirit cultivators and set it up beside Zaji. He was ready to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refinement in the cave.
"Be careful. The situation in this cave is unclear," Patriarch Acheron reminded.
"Nothing should happen. Lu Ruyun chose this place, which means she likes it because no one will disturb her." Ye Kong set up the formation and told Zaji to wait patiently. He sat down cross-legged and prepared to break through to the fourth level.
"Don't worry. If you can't do it, I'll help." The Old Ancestor of the Yellow Spring comforted Ye Kong. He had already made up his mind. If there was really an accident, he would definitely kill Zaji after he took action. He would never let anyone other than Ye Kong know of his existence.
Ordinary people needed a day to a month to break through to the next level. However, because of the cultivation method Ye Kong practiced, his spiritual power was strong. When the conditions were right, success would come naturally. Therefore, it shouldn't take long. According to his previous experience, two hours should be enough.
Moreover, the other party was very well hidden. In these two hours, there shouldn't be any cultivators passing by.
After all, behind the Hundred Thousand Mountains was the vast Chaos. Who would coincidentally pass by here at this time? Even if they did, they might not notice that there was someone in the cave.
In order to successfully break through to the fourth level, Ye Kong swallowed a Creation Pill.
Suddenly, a mysterious force entered his limbs and filled all of his meridians along with the Spiritual Qi. Following that, the Spiritual Qi suddenly spread out in all directions, causing a burst of pain. Ye Kong's meridians had reached the thickest and widest they had ever been.
The flow of spiritual energy became smoother. Ye Kong felt that the spiritual energy in his Qi Sea had reached a critical point. The spiritual energy was still expanding rhythmically, just like a beating heart. What he needed to do was to refine the last bit of spiritual energy in his body and inject it into his Qi Sea in the fastest and fiercest way possible.
Patriarch Acheron was very nervous as Ye Kong was trying to break through to the fourth level. He didn't even care that he didn't have enough spiritual power. He released his spiritual sense and spread it hundreds of meters around him.
Zagi, who was lying on the ground, felt a surge of emotions. Although he was saved by Ye Kong, he still resented Ye Kong in his heart. Why did he kill the woman he loved the most?
In truth, he didn't know that Ye Kong had already shown mercy to Lu Ruyun. Otherwise, he would definitely have taken out the Hundred Soul Banner and absorbed Lu Ruyun's soul, preventing her from ever reincarnating.
Zagi resented Ye Kong, but when he saw Ye Kong trying to break through to the fourth level here, he couldn't help but blame himself. Ye Kong had risked his life to save him. How dangerous was it to break through to the next level in the wild? If he had listened to Ye Kong's advice, none of this would have happened.
Ye Kong's speed of breaking through to the next level was very fast. First of all, the biggest feature of the Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture was that his spiritual power was strong and vigorous, so it was naturally easier for him to break through. Second, the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm was still very low. The lower the level, the easier it was. Finally, he didn't need to absorb spiritual energy from the air. He only needed to refine the spiritual energy he had absorbed from Patriarch Acheron, so his speed was naturally faster.
However, there was a saying that when people were unlucky, they couldn't even drink cold water.
During the short time when Ye Kong was breaking through, a cultivator really passed by in the sky.
"Not good! Early-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm! "Patriarch Acheron's spiritual sense immediately discovered this person.
This kid was not young anymore. He was skinny and was a Rogue Cultivator. People called him Daoist Deadwood.
Although Daoist Deadwood's cultivation was not very high, he was a very cunning character. Think about it, it was impossible for a Rogue Cultivator to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm without some cunning. What he was best at was taking advantage of people cultivating in the wild, then killing them and robbing them of their treasures.
Therefore, when he flew outside, he was very careful. He was on guard against people trying to harm him, and he also paid attention to opportunities to harm others.
Although he was old, his eyesight was very good. With one glance, he saw a chicken claw-shaped Dharma artifact that had fallen outside the cave.
"Sigh, my luck is not bad. A low-grade Dharma artifact. I can sell it for dozens of spirit stones." Daoist Deadwood was delighted. He threw the chicken claw Dharma artifact into his storage bag and his eyes fell on the pitch-black cave.
"What's inside?" Daoist Deadwood's small eyes blinked twice. He couldn't help but lift his feet and walk inside.
Suddenly, an extremely powerful spiritual sense locked onto him. It was so powerful that he, an Early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm Immortal, couldn't determine the other party's realm.
"Oh my god! Is it the Core Formation Realm? No, it's the Yuanying Stage! "Daoist Deadwood's knees trembled.
However, this kid was very experienced in killing people and robbing their treasures. He thought to himself, If it was really the Yuanying Stage, he would have killed me already. Why would he use his powerful spiritual sense to threaten me?
Of course, some Yuanying Patriarchs were kind and wouldn't kill people indiscriminately. If that was the case, it was okay to go in and beg.
Daoist Deadwood stood for a while. Finally, he clenched his teeth. "Damn it, I'll fight! He locked onto me for so long and didn't make a move. There must be a reason. If I don't go in and take a look, I'll regret it even if I die.
"Let's go in and take a look! I haven't killed a Yuanying Patriarch yet! "
Daoist Deadwood was nervous, and so was Patriarch Acheron. "Damn it, this kid isn't afraid of death. If Zaji wasn't by my side, I'll go out and kill this hateful guy even if I have to sleep for a few years!"
When Daoist Deadwood came in, he saw a spirit cultivator array that looked like a soap bubble. This array was made with water spiritual energy, so it was black in color. It was impossible to see inside.
The water element is black. Many books misunderstand it and think that water is white. The water element should also be white. But in fact, the water attribute was black.
"Little cultivator Daoist Deadwood greets Patriarch. I wonder if Patriarch can show himself so that I can admire him."
Daoist Deadwood's words woke Zaji up. He looked back at Ye Kong and then at Daoist Deadwood.
"This Patriarch is cultivating. You are not allowed to disturb me. Leave quickly, or else you will be beheaded!" Zaji wasn't a fool. He immediately followed Deadwood's words and shouted.
When Daoist Deadwood heard the words, he jumped in fright and quickly kowtowed. "Patriarch, please don't be angry. I will leave now."
Although Zaji was smart, he forgot that he was injured. He didn't have much confidence. It was hard to conceal the weakness in his words.
After bowing, Daoist Deadwood left. But suddenly, he realized that the voice just now was obviously weak.
Could it be that Patriarch Yuanying was seriously injured? Hiding here to heal?
Daoist Deadwood immediately stopped. He turned back and said, "Patriarch, are you feeling unwell? I have some healing pills here. I want to give them to Patriarch. Please come out and meet me. "
Even an idiot would be able to understand that giving the pills was a lie and probing the situation was a lie.
Zaji was nervous. He had just entered the late stage of Qi Refinement. Even if he met a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he could only run away. Not to mention that he was injured and didn't have any magic tools to protect himself.
"Forget about the pills. Hurry up … Cough!" Zaji was so emotional that he coughed instead of shouting the word 'scram'.
This made Daoist Deadwood overjoyed. Damn, I'm rich. This Yuanying Patriarch is seriously injured. If I don't take this opportunity to kill him and snatch his treasures, then when?
"Hehe, Patriarch, let me send you on your way!" Daoist Deadwood raised his hand and took out a small golden seal from his storage bag.
This kind of seal type magic tool had shocking power. It was most suitable for strong array formations. A low-level array formation like the spirit cultivator's array formation would be broken with just one pressure.
"Go!" Daoist Deadwood raised his hand and pointed.
The small seal flew above the array formation and suddenly became incomparably huge. It was as if a golden mountain was hanging above the array formation.
"Hehe, Patriarch, why don't you set up a powerful array formation to heal your injuries. This kind of small array formation is enough to atone for my disrespect." Daoist Deadwood laughed sinisterly and pointed his finger.
"Boom!" With a loud sound, the huge golden seal smashed onto the spirit cultivator's array formation. The soap bubble-like array formation shook until it almost broke.
However, it was also thanks to Ye Kong's attentiveness when drawing these arrays. The effect was very good. It actually withstood the attack.
"Smash again! I don't believe that I can't smash this broken array formation! "
Hearing the rumbling above his head, Zaji's coughing became more and more rapid.
"Puke!" Zaji finally spat out a mouthful of blood. He turned around and looked at Ye Kong.
"Fellow Daoist Xia, you treated me like a brother. You warned me time and time again. Today, you disregarded the risk and risked your life to save me. I, Zaji, am not a coward!"
After saying that, Zaji stood up. He swayed and finally stabilized himself. Then, he slowly walked out of the array formation.
"Brother Xia! I hope you can escape this calamity. Take care! "
At this moment, Ye Kong was immersed in the process of breaking through. He was completely unaware of what was happening around him.
However, Patriarch Acheron could clearly see that Zaji was prepared to use his injured body and his life to buy some time for Ye Kong to break through.
At the crucial moment, a person who could sacrifice himself and die honorably should always be respected. Patriarch Acheron suddenly remembered what Ye Kong had said before.
"Silly boy, is your stupidity contagious? Why is everyone around you so stupid? "Patriarch Acheron couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Just as Zaji was about to reach the spirit cultivator's array formation, Patriarch Acheron decided to show himself. He had probably also become stupid. He actually decided to save this barbarian boy.
However, at this moment, there was a change in the situation. Attracted by the rumbling sound of the array formation breaking, another cultivator walked into the cave. Moreover, it was another Foundation Establishment Immortal.
