Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

The Earth Immortal Realm, within a fourth-order secret realm, was a vast desert.

Above the desert, the scorching sun blazed, golden dust devils raged across the land, and the endless yellow sand stretched as far as the eye could see.

Three cultivators clad in silkworm robes walked side-by-side through the desert.

One of them was an old man, his small eyes remarkably bright, a stark contrast to his aged face.

He bent down, scooped up a handful of sand, shook it a few times, revealing a tiny golden cloud crystal, and then, filled with joy, slowly spoke:

"Friends Chen and Li, this is where the Gold Cloud Ant colony resides. Although most of these Gold Cloud Ants are only second-order insects, and only a few ant generals are third-order, a fourth-order ant king has been born here. If we kill this ant king, the fourth-order Gold Cloud Crystals will be ours. The third-order Gold Cloud Ants can also be raised and tamed, which would be a great boon for your sect!"

The other two accompanying him were a young man and woman.

Of course, these two were not young, being over three hundred years old, but in the cultivation world, this was still their prime.

These two were Golden Core cultivators from the Ziyang Immortal Sect's Huayu Branch, both newly advanced.

Their sect was also a newly promoted fourth-order sect.

The two of them held the old man in great respect, as they had known this old man, Zhang Yun, since before they entered the Earth Immortal Realm.

The old man had also explained many secrets of the Earth Immortal Realm to them and even brought them to search for treasures.

The only pity was that this old man surnamed Zhang, although in the late stage of the Golden Core realm, did not join any sect and refused their invitations.

"Senior Zhang, these fourth-order Gold Cloud Ants are extremely violent, and their shells are incredibly hard, almost impervious to swords and spears. To deal with this demon king, we need an extremely cold magic treasure to freeze it to death," the young male cultivator said, following the old man's example, scooping up a handful of sand from the ground, and indeed finding a small Gold Cloud Crystal.

This kind of Gold Cloud Crystal was very famous in the cultivation world, being an excellent material for refining flying swords and axes.

Outside, there were almost no free-range Gold Cloud Ants.

"Naturally, I have already prepared an array. I wonder if you have prepared the Taiyuan Spirit Sand that Gold Cloud Ants love to devour!" the old man nodded, gently holding out an array disk.

He threw the array disk and several array flags onto the ground and began to set up the array.

The two young cultivators took out a jade box and poured out a lot of sand from it.

These sand grains were all the size of rice grains, mixed and translucent, and were precisely third-order spirit sand, Taiyuan Spirit Sand.

After the sand was poured into the sand, the three used concealment techniques to hide themselves.

Before long, as rustling sounds echoed, orange-golden spirit ants the size of fists crawled out, moving in unison, with their huge mandibles open.

Soon, they arrived at the Taiyuan Spirit Sand.

The largest of the Gold Cloud Ants was the size of a calf, with three pairs of slender golden legs and a row of terrifying fangs, looking extremely ferocious.

With one bite, it swallowed most of the Taiyuan Spirit Sand.

"Now!" the young male cultivator said first.

The two of them each took out magic treasures and headed towards the fourth-order Gold Cloud Ant King.

But before they could show joy, they saw the array activated, enveloping them both.

A stream of cold air rushed into their bodies.

They were just about to ask the old man surnamed Zhang when they only saw a狰狞 face.

And two dark black needles heading towards the space between their eyebrows.

"Senior Zhang..."

The two had just used their magic treasures, but now they were invaded by cold air, and these two silver needles were too fast, obviously top-grade magic treasures, and the two couldn't react at all.

They only had time to raise their hands, and before they could activate their magic treasures, they were shot through the space between their eyebrows by the black needles, and their bodies fell softly to the ground!

After all, in their eyes, the Zhang cultivator in front of them was a respected senior who had given them many pointers.

How could he secretly attack them?

"Actually, I didn't want to kill you two so early, but too many of my hosts have died. Damn righteous sects, they actually ambushed my main body!" This old man surnamed Zhang was naturally one of Zhang Zhiqiu's clones.

His cultivation technique was the Ninefold Spirit Body Technique.

This technique was not good at secret techniques and power, but it could cultivate up to nine clones and had some miraculous effects when breaking through major realms.

And even if the main body died, the clones could survive.

It's just that the clone's cultivation level cannot change. Even if he leaves the Earth Immortal Realm, he can only use the method of seizing the body to seize other cultivators and re-cultivate his cultivation.

In the world of cultivation, seizing the body can only be done once, and it is also prone to problems.

This is almost equivalent to half of his immortal path being cut off, so how could he not be angry?

Moreover, seizing the body is not easy. Now, besides this one, he only has one other most secret host body.

Naturally, he had to refine a few more host bodies, even if these two host bodies only had the cultivation of the early Golden Core stage.

"Fortunately, the main body obtained a sect jade ban, which cannot be searched for souls!"

"However, I, Zhang, have remembered today's matter, and I will definitely repay it ten or a hundred times in the future!" Zhang Zhiqiu said fiercely.

Then, he also shot out silver needles towards the fourth-order early stage Gold Cloud Ant demon king.

The fourth-order Great Cold Frost Prison Formation, coupled with two top-grade Black Nether Needles, even though the fourth-order demon king had a strong physical body, it was quickly killed by him.

He took out the demon pill of the ant king and used a spirit binding ring to capture all the remaining third-order Gold Cloud Ants.

Then, he put away the array.

But as soon as he put away the array, he saw two figures appearing behind him at some point.

These two figures were wearing spirit isolation robes and spirit isolation veils, unable to see their faces, let alone their figures.

This shocked him.

However, when he sensed that the divine senses of the two were only in the early and middle stages of the Golden Core, he relaxed.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang?" one of the two figures said.

This made Zhang Zhiqiu instinctively retreat backwards.

Before he could retreat, a scene he would never forget appeared.

He saw fourth-order demon king spirit beasts, like Qi refining little demons, swarming out.

Soaring dragons, sky-covering Peng fish, golden falcons, huge golden rhinoceroses, two-headed turtles...

As spirit beasts emerged one after another, a Xuanhan domain more terrifying than his Great Cold Frost Prison Formation covered his entire body.

He only felt a cold poison invading his body.

Countless ice rains turned into ice cones, piercing towards him.

Just as he used several spirit talismans to resist, a fire lotus fell suddenly at some point, with rich blue light, unavoidable.

Along with it were four spirit swords, the earth scale palace of the golden scale beast, and the blood sucking of the six-colored cloud deer...

Zhang Zhiqiu's two silver needles and a golden bell magic treasure were not enough to cover his entire body.

"Who are you!" he shouted in despair.

However, Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan would naturally not answer.

They had no pity for this kind of rogue cultivator who specialized in cheating low-level cultivators, let alone explain.

As the Jade Scale Flood Dragon spat out a silver moon ice palace, the huge silver moon shone on Zhang Zhiqiu's iron-blue face, and an ice dragon shuttled past, blasting Zhang Zhiqiu's clone into pieces, leaving only a few storage bags and spirit beast bags!

Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan took Zhang Zhiqiu's storage bags and saw many fourth-order magic treasures and fourth-order spirit medicines.

"It should be Zhang Zhiqiu's clone."

"I hope Jingcheng is also successful!" Ye Xuecang roughly calculated that he had collected more than ten fourth-order magic treasures.

However, they were all some fourth-order low-grade magic treasures. Among the useful magic treasures, there were only three: two fourth-order top-grade Black Nether Needles and a fourth-order top-grade Zijin Pagoda magic treasure.

However, he collected a lot of spirit medicines, including two Golden Condensation Fruits, and many fourth-order spirit medicines, which were relatively rare and precious.

Including the set of Great Cold Frost Prison Formation and the Gold Cloud Ant colony, the Ye family's harvest was not small.

"Let's collect the Gold Cloud Crystals first. There is also a fourth-order insect king Gold Cloud Crystal in it. The only pity is that this Zhang Zhiqiu actually killed the Gold Cloud Ant insect king!" Ye Xuecang said regretfully.

If this insect king was alive and tamed, and the Ye family also had places like the Sand Sea suitable for spirit ants to survive, the Gold Cloud Crystals born in the future would be no less than a third-order spirit stone mine, which could bring spirit stones to the Ye family continuously.

Now that the insect king is gone, it will take the Ye family an unknown amount of effort and time to cultivate an insect king.

...

Another place on the edge of the Earth Immortal Realm, where the rocks were jagged, the trees were few, and the spiritual energy was much less than in most areas of the Earth Immortal Realm.

A green-robed figure also appeared on the mountain peak.

This person was Ye Jingcheng. At this moment, he was stepping on a stone.

Looking at the surrounding environment.

After seeing three stones connected together, he finally nodded and confirmed that this was the chaotic burial mountain in Zhang Zhiqiu's mouth.

Through soul searching, Ye Jingcheng knew that the cultivation method practiced by Zhang Zhiqiu was the Ninefold Spirit Body Technique, which could cultivate a total of nine clones. Although the clones could not cultivate and break through, they also had Zhang Zhiqiu's divided soul.

And if the clone fell, it could also be replenished with secret methods and new cultivator corpses.

It was similar to the Heavenly Soul Sutra that the Ye family had obtained before.

It's just that this technique is obviously more powerful.

According to Zhang Zhiqiu's judgment, this technique is definitely a middle-grade or higher earth-level technique, and it was obtained by Zhang Zhiqiu when he first came to the Earth Immortal Realm.

This technique allows Zhang Zhiqiu to have nine clones, which is why he is like a fish in water in the rogue cultivator world and is doing well.

Even some Nascent Soul sects, Zhang Zhiqiu is not afraid.

He has already let Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan take the remaining spirit beasts to the fourth-order secret realm to destroy the evidence.

And in the chaotic burial mountain in front of him, there is also another clone.

And Zhang Zhiqiu used the technique of suspended animation to pretend to be dead here.

Whenever his main body or other clones had a harvest, he would distribute some treasures to this clone.

In this way, the risks are avoided.

And ordinary people would never think that there is still Zhang Zhiqiu's clone here.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators cannot see it with their divine sense. This is also the brilliance of Zhang Zhiqiu's technique of suspended animation.

It's just a pity that Ye Jingcheng happened to have dream-devouring worms, which can devour the soul and turn it into a dream, reproducing the scene of that day.
