Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 224 The Ultimate Ninth Rank

"This method of rescue is indeed simple and brutal..."

Fang Qing was somewhat speechless, thinking to himself, "Then what information did you get out of him?"

Although Sangji could not learn about his Tara's experiences through the grotto, he was unable to do so.

But once the person is returned, they will definitely be investigated before being sent to be reincarnated.

"Everything is clear now, but that Grand Master is skilled in divination... the memories of the Demon Subduer might be tampered with..."

Sangji sent over a thought.

Fang Qing took it, and his consciousness trembled.

He felt as if he had returned to the time when he was possessed and killed by the underworld emperor with a single glance.

"Hmm... Originally, when my White Bone Path and Moyun Cliff joined forces to search the cave heavens, we actually gained quite a bit..."

"But later, for some reason, Lian Chen offended that Yin Emperor, enraging the Divine Law Network... Almost all the City Gods and Earth Gods instantly transformed into incarnations of that Yin Emperor, leaving them with no way to hide and forcing them to confront his might. The auspicious Green Tara was instantly annihilated... Fu Mo Hei was saved by Gua Chen and miraculously survived. Was that Great Master trying to save one to show that he didn't intentionally harm the White Bone Path? Or... was it intentional? To leak some information?"

"The pinnacle of the ninth order, the Primordial Bear?"

Fang Qing looked thoughtful.

At that moment, the void shattered, and another auspicious goddess descended, scattering a shower of golden flowers.

Sangji reached out and took the message, a thought striking him: "Venerable One... the true spirit of Black Tara, the Demon Subduer, has arrived at the Great Snow Mountain. This is news from the mountain." Fang Qing received the information through "Mahavairocana Tathagata, the Tranquil One," still marveling to himself:

"This method of reincarnation in the Secret Realm is a bit too shameless... Which subordinate can resist it?"

"Fortunately, this Black Tara was initially intended to be cannon fodder, and she knew nothing of the secrets..."

"However, even if Kongque and Yueguangbai suddenly perish, their true spirits will only make the Great Snow Mountain aware that Sangji particularly values ​​me, this Vajra Power Child... that's not much." "If Sangji's true spirit were to be searched, that would be truly hilarious..."

Fang Qing mentally grumbled a few words, but after reading the intelligence sent by Sangji, his expression changed drastically:

"The ultimate of the ninth tier, the fiercest of the primordial beginning... So that's what it means."

"The path of Qi cultivation, from the very beginning, limits the cultivation path for 99% of cultivators to the ninth level!"

"Of the thirty-six levels of True Knowledge at the ninth rank and fourth grade, the highest is the ninth rank supreme grade, which is only one type, called 'Primordial Knowledge'! This is born innately and can command all other True Knowledge... Primordial Knowledge? Primordial Essence?' He subconsciously looked at his own 'Dao Sheng Pearl,' the 'Primordial Essence' within which could transform all True Knowledge..."

"As expected, my cheat ability is closely related to this Qi Cultivation Dao world... No wonder the first world I transmigrated to was the Qi Cultivation Dao world, no, it should be said that it helped me reincarnate into this Qi Cultivation Dao world... "True Knowledge has nine ranks and thirty-six grades, but there is only one supreme grade of the ninth rank, and even the superior grade of the ninth rank has only two, one is 'Great Sun Purple Blaze,' and the other is 'Great Yin Azure Blaze'... Primordial Beginning is supreme, and Great Yin and Great Yang are second only to it..."

True steam!

This very basic step in the cultivation of Qigong practitioners seems to have some hidden pitfalls.

Even the original Sangji was unaware of the secret. Only after obtaining relevant information did Daxueshan "decipher" it! This made Fang Qing think a lot.

"Could it be that this ninth-tier top-grade 'Primordial Knowledge' involves some secret?"

"At least, I have never seen a cultivation method that requires such knowledge to achieve enlightenment..."

"And within Bai Litian, a 'Primordial Origin' was actually discovered, causing even Grand Master Guachen to fight fiercely... A mere entry-level True Bear causing a Grand Master to risk his life?" "In the Qi Refining Path, that would be a Qi-guiding pill for a Qi Refining cultivator, prompting Old Monster Yuanqu to personally intervene? That's too bizarre!" "Also... Guachen deliberately didn't erase this memory, bringing it to Sangji. Was he trying to prove something? Or was it a deliberate trap?" "There are too few clues; I can't understand it at all."

Fang Qing sighed inwardly, but outwardly asked respectfully, "Your Majesty... what is the Great Snow Mountain's decree?"

"It's alright. Now that Bai Yaotian has passed, we can simply focus on heading east."

Sangji looked eastward, his eyes gleaming: "We must obey the Buddha's decree and conquer Hehuan!"

East of Wushan County, there is an 800-li plank road.

"The natural barrier of eastern Sichuan truly lives up to its reputation..."

Fang Wujiu glanced at the majestic plank road, which stood on a cliff, with one end seemingly reaching straight into the clouds.

Countless white mists swirled, making it impossible to tell where one was.

"The Fei family stationed here must have secretly allied themselves with the Hehuan Sect long ago. Now that ninety percent of Wushan County has fallen, they are still putting up a stubborn resistance..." "Fortunately, we are cultivators. Even if we are careless and fall off the plank road, if we have a flying magic weapon, we can still be saved..."

"But the head of the Fei family spent a fortune on the last section of the plank road, setting up the Weak Water Formation to prevent flight, which is truly difficult..." He looked around; his sister-in-law, Le Mingxue, was still there, but the monk Fayuan had already died in battle...

Besides them, there were two more young men, both at the early stage of Qi Conversion, named "Tian Youliang" and "Tian Youdao." They were descendants of Old Master Tian, ​​possessing the aptitude for cultivation. They had luckily entered the Dao through Qi Conversion, and were then captured by the Buddha to fill in the gaps...

"I wonder what the big shots up there are thinking. If that Vajra Powerful One were to make a move, ten members of the Fei family would be crushed with a single finger..." Fang Wujiu thought anxiously, "Who knows how many more lives will be lost on this last section of the plank road..."

Little did he know that Shangxiu had his own reasons.

The reason why the important figures of the White Bone Path did not take action was primarily because they were focusing their energy on Bai Yaotian.

The second issue is how to create a mass grave by killing more cultivators to connect with Bai Yaotian using "corpse aura" and maintain the open state of the cave? Of course, now that the matter of Bai Yaotian is settled, the progress can be accelerated.

dong dong!

The drumbeats signaled the cultists in the rear to urge the troops to advance.

Left with no other choice, Fang Wujiu could only follow his sister-in-law onto the plank road, where they would face the enemy in a fierce battle within the narrow space...

"To drive the people like ants, to wage war like mud... nothing could be more fitting."

He felt helpless, and could only watch as the monk soldiers in front of him died one by one, until it was his turn...

Feijiabao.

This fortress was built against the mountain and controls the last section of the 800-li (400 km) plank road.

In the past, the Fei family made a fortune by controlling the passes, and their members never lacked funds for cultivation. The family's Dao Foundation Ancestor, Fei Wangcai, even cultivated to the mid-stage of the Dao Foundation realm, living a very happy life. But as soon as war broke out, they were immediately put in a difficult position.

Especially after Fei Wangcai colluded with a powerful figure from the Hehuan Sect, he became even more determined to defend the last section of the Wushan County plank road to the death. In the days since, the Fei family cultivators have suffered heavy casualties, and the clansmen have long been filled with resentment. However, with his Dao Foundation Realm suppression, no one dared to resist, and they could only gradually despair and eventually numbly accept their fate.

The main hall inside the fort.

"Ancestor... we can't go on like this! We must decide whether to surrender or flee..."

The head of the Fei family, along with several of his direct descendants who had reached the late stage of Qi Conversion, knelt before Fei Wangcai, his voice like a cuckoo weeping blood: "The White Bone Path has a full six Purple Mansion True Persons... No matter what conditions the Joyful Union Sect agrees to for our Ancestor, our Fei family must survive in order to withstand them."

Fei Wangcai's eyes were clear, his face flushed slightly, and he scoffed, "Nonsense! My Fei family will defend this place to the death, fighting to the last man..." "Ancestor... could it be that the Hehuan Sect promised you the chance to enter the Purple Mansion realm? Otherwise, why would you stake the entire clan?"

The head of the Fei family raised his head and gritted his teeth again: "If such conditions are truly available, we will accept the sacrifice of our lives for our ancestor... We hope that when our ancestor achieves the Purple Mansion realm in the future, he will not forget to sprinkle a cup of wine before our graves to comfort us..."

"The Hehuan Sect... gave it to me..."

When Fei Wangcai saw his descendants weeping blood, his face finally showed some emotion.

As he recalled his past, a look of bewilderment suddenly appeared on his face: "What did she give me... It turns out to be that fairy who commanded me to guard this place. To have her smile, I have no regrets even if I die..." As Fei Wangcai spoke, a look of intoxication appeared on his face, as if he had met his goddess when he was young and infatuated.

The Fei family members below exchanged glances, then looked on in dismay: "Our ancestor was a womanizer in his youth, having enjoyed countless women. How could he possibly fall in love at first sight in his old age? This is bad; he must be under the influence of supernatural powers!"

Once outside the hall, the Fei family members exchanged glances and then took their leave.

Half an hour later, they gathered again in a secret room.

"Our ancestor's wisdom has penetrated to the core; I'm afraid there's no saving him..."

The head of the Fei family spoke, his voice hoarse: "If only I had known, I should have run away with the Xuanwu Sect when the war started..."

"What's the use of saying all this now? We originally thought that if our ancestor joined the Hehuan Sect, even if we died in battle, we could at least secure a way out for our descendants... But now it seems, the sect, the sect..." A burly man with a bushy beard said, but he couldn't continue, feeling like he was about to vomit blood.

"The higher sect treats us like pigs and dogs... no, we're even worse than dogs. At least when they send out hunting dogs, they give us a piece of meat..."

However, when it comes to the Purple Mansion, he only dares to curse in his heart and doesn't dare to show it on his face.

"Now that things have come to this, what can we do?"

The head of the Fei family sighed.

"How about... we vote?"

A young member of the Fei family, having finally conceded defeat, gritted his teeth and said, "At worst, we'll just surrender... I've heard that the White Bone Dao treats the Dao Foundation families under its rule quite well. The Zeng family lost three Dao Foundation members in battle for the White Bone Dao, and they were later rewarded with 'Dao Foundation Pills.' Even though the Zeng family's direct line was wiped out, they still supported the collateral branches to continue the family line..."

"This...we have suffered heavy casualties after all..."

The head of the Fei family had some doubts: "And what about the patriarch...?"

Even if they reach an agreement, it will be of no use if Fei Wangcai, as the Dao Foundation Ancestor, disagrees.

"In my opinion, the White Bone Path may not value us and their monk soldiers much..."

The young Fei family cultivator gave a bitter smile: "On the contrary, the more people die, the better... so there's no difference. As for the ancestor? His supernatural powers are still influential, so he's practically dead... We can disperse and let him guard the plank road alone..."
