Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

In the middle of the Pancang River,

Lin Xiu tightly held the Jiao Pearl in his arms, afraid that he would be sucked into the sky by this incredibly strong gravitational force that could reverse mountains and rivers with just a slight carelessness.

On top of Qianjue Peak,

A red cloud was swirling and condensing under the sky, with lightning flashing and jumping like a dragon. In the center, there was a crimson void that stared at the earth below like a giant eye.

Has the grand formation been activated?

False alarm.

But this thing in the sky seems somewhat familiar!

Damn, it's a damn Tribulation Cloud!

Who the hell is Transcending Tribulation at this critical moment?

And judging from the eerie and immense momentum, it's probably at least a Nascent Soul Tribulation!

Hurry and run.

Within the range of this level of thunder tribulation, even a Gold Core cultivator could turn to ashes, let alone someone at the Qi Refining stage like him?

He couldn't afford to swim slowly at the bottom of the river anymore.

He leaped out of the water, stepping on a flying sword and running along the surface of the river.

Under this kind of momentum, no one paid attention to a fleeing rat under their feet, which suited his intentions.

Under the void, a blood-red figure held a giant blade emitting a dazzling red light, with hair standing on end.

At the same time, several figures were retreating rapidly to the east, turning into colorful streams of light.

"Quick, retreat! We've all been tricked! This is the Primordial Spirit of the Bloodthirsty Demon Tree. He is no longer Wei Qianqiu!"

"Sly, they want to trap us here with the formation, forcibly refine all the cultivators here, and use demonic techniques to impact Soul Formation, defying the heavens and changing fate!"

When Lin Xiu heard this, he turned his head and took a glance.

Sure enough!

At this moment, the phantom seemed to overlap with a giant tree. The treasure wheel behind Wei Qianqiu's head had turned into the shape of a tree crown, exactly the same as the demonic tree in the secret realm!

His pupils rapidly contracted.

"Wei Qianqiu actually integrated the Primordial Spirit of the demonic tree with his own Nascent Soul!"

In an instant, he recalled everything that had happened in the secret realm.

Although the demonic tree was supposed to have already turned into a demon due to its huge size, when he and Ji Ning circled around it, apart from fearing that the demonic blade might awaken, he didn't sense any trace of spiritual awareness from the tree at all.

He thought it was dead, but he didn't expect Wei Qianqiu to take it away and merge it into his own consciousness.

But thinking about it the other way around, if the Primordial Spirit of the demonic tree was still there, he and Ji Ning might really end up like a pair of dead mandarin ducks.

When Lin Xiu thought of this, he poured all his spiritual energy into the flying sword under his feet and ran even faster.

However, the loud conversation in the sky still reached his ears without missing a word, shaking his meridians and causing his spiritual energy to become chaotic, making him extremely uncomfortable.

In the sky,

The phantom of Wei Qianqiu was rapidly growing, almost surpassing a small mountain.

"Fellow Daoists, it's too late!"

He looked at his former allies who were trying to escape, his eyes shining with a bloody light as he sneered.

"Bloodthirsty Demon Formation, activate!"

Suddenly, dozens of defensive pillars supporting the formation in the market began to move and change rapidly, forming another formation in an instant!

The defensive formation that was originally meant to defend against external enemies turned into a crimson trapping formation, almost trapping everyone inside.

The entire world was replaced by the color red!

A red-robed Nascent Soul cultivator who ran the fastest had already reached the barrier of the grand formation. With a flick of his sword, he shouted,

"Open!"

Countless blood-colored ripples appeared on the barrier, causing the Nascent Soul cultivator to spit out a mouthful of blood. His flying body directly smashed a large hole in a mountain wall.

"It's in vain. Hua Qianhong, do you really think I, Wei Qianqiu, don't know that Ji Ruoxu's massacre was caused by the Wei family's heritage?"

The broken stones from the mountain wall stirred up, and the red-robed Nascent Soul cultivator reappeared.

Lin Xiu finally realized that the Nascent Soul from before was actually Hong Jie.

Hong Jie spat out a mouthful of blood foam and laughed hysterically.

"Wei Qianqiu, the sect master calculated everything, but he didn't expect that you didn't care about the blood feud of the family at all. You only wanted to use the blood of all living beings in this place to break through the bottleneck and achieve the body of Soul Formation!"

Wei Qianqiu coldly snorted, "What does the family heritage matter? Once I reach Soul Formation, I am the heritage. Under the Shura Blood Blade, seeking revenge is just a matter of a few moves."

An old Nascent Soul monster from the Endless Pleasure Sect shouted, "Fellow Daoists, he is just buying time. Let's attack together!"

The dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators from the five major sects saw that the formation was solid and feared that it would be impossible to break through in a short period of time. The radiance of their treasure wheels behind their heads shone brightly.

"That's right, the Thunder Tribulation of Soul Formation is still condensing. As long as we join forces to kill him, the crisis will be resolved!"

After speaking, their own magic treasures were consecutively sacrificed, all attacking Wei Qianqiu with their strongest strikes.

Wei Qianqiu stood proudly in his original position, vigorously waving the blood blade in his hand.

"Don't overestimate yourselves! Although I haven't reached Soul Formation in my cultivation, my Integrated Union demonic tree's Primordial Spirit and divine sense have long surpassed it. Let me show you the Divine Ability that only those with Soul Formation can possess, Spiritual Ascension's Shadow!"

His figure suddenly trembled slightly, immediately splitting into more than a dozen figures to confront everyone.

This was one of the signature Dao techniques of a powerful cultivator in the Soul Formation stage. It could split the Primordial Spirit into several parts to fight against enemies. A master of this technique could defeat a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators alone.

These Nascent Soul cultivators were all entangled by his Spiritual Ascension, and they couldn't even get close to Wei Qianqiu.

Wei Qianqiu laughed madly, "I have to thank you all for accompanying me in this grand performance. Let this Shura Demon Blade reach the sixth rank of the Empty Void. You will all become the stepping stones on my path to Soul Formation!"

"Reverse the Five Elements Blood Coagulation Formation, absorb them!"

A huge array pattern suddenly rose from the main peak of Qianjue Peak under his feet, connecting the suspended Cave Mansions that originally belonged to his disciples in the surroundings, forming another formation.

In an instant, whether it was the Nascent Soul Gold Core cultivators or the Foundation Building Independent Cultivators present, they all felt their blood and spiritual energy boiling uncontrollably, seeping through their skin and robes, turning into countless blood rain and rushing towards the red calamity cloud.

Lin Xiu was almost too familiar with this situation.

It was almost identical to what happened with Ji Ning back then, except that the range now encompassed the entire Qianjue Peak, and the number of people had become tens of thousands.

"Damn it, this old guy really intends to use everyone as nourishment to break through Soul Formation and achieve immortality!"

The blood qi in his body also began to uncontrollably dissipate. His feet staggered, and he could no longer control the flying sword, barely stopping in front of the formation wall that trapped the Nascent Soul cultivators.

At the same time, he sighed.

It had only been a few days, and he thought it would be an epic battle, overturning mountains and flipping the Thousand Despair Mountains.

But he didn't expect the situation to change so quickly. It was so close!

He didn't see the so-called "Five Elements Sealing Demon Formation" mentioned by Wen Renqing, but he saw two other demonic formations that were trying to absorb everyone and turn them into dried corpses.

Finding a relatively hidden place, he had a thought and flashed into the Dragon Pearl.

Hehe, I'm hiding inside, you can't absorb me, right?

Inside the Dragon Pearl, he was still in the same position as before.

He once again straddled Wen Renqing's abdomen.

He thought he would be scolded, but he was immediately stunned by what he saw.

The blood in this Dragon Pearl, known as the "source of the secret realm," was also surging, unable to avoid the power of the external formation.

Whether it was Li Yingxue or Wen Renqing, they both closed their eyes and focused, using all their skills to resist the dissipating blood qi.

"This is really strange! But I'm not so easy to die!"

After taking a risk and rushing out, he waved his hand, and the "Profound Heaven Sealing Immortal Circle" quietly appeared on the Dragon Pearl. He imitated Ji Ning and turned it into a shield.

When Ji Ning was at the mid-stage of the fourth rank, he could rely on this to survive for a month.

Now that he was about to reach the fifth rank, he should be able to hold on a little longer, right?

It all depended on who could endure it.

Returning to his original position, Lin Xiu looked at the small "Dragon Pearl space" and nodded in satisfaction.

The blood qi of the two women was no longer dissipating, and they were closing their eyes, focusing.

He quietly moved down from Wen Renqing's belly, and another doubt arose in his heart.

From beginning to end, Vermilion Bird Mountain didn't react at all. Could it be that Wei Qianqiu and Chu Xianxiong were collaborating to put on a big show?
