Seeking Immortality

No one could have thought that Jin Qinghan would break through at this time.

In fact, during this period, Jin Qinghan was not in a coma. After Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong finished healing him, he had already woken up.

However, the moment he woke up, he instinctively and involuntarily fell into a strange state of meditation, and this meditation lasted for more than ten days.

In fact, Jin Qinghan had already reached the peak state of the solid elixir stage, and was now at the critical point between the solid elixir stage and the golden elixir stage. As long as he retreated for a short period of time, he would most likely break through to the golden elixir stage. But because Jin Qinghan had been following Xu Qingfan in the past few years, he had no time to retreat, so this realm breakthrough that was almost a natural outcome was delayed indefinitely.

Because of this, Jin Qinghan's strength during this period has always shown signs of instability. Although he is usually at the peak of the solid elixir stage, he can often exert strength far beyond his cultivation level when he is unintentional or highly focused.

For example, when he slapped and woke up Xu Qingfan, the power of the sword killed more than ten disturbing "beast mad monks" in the Jindan stage, or when he was fighting with Feng Qingtian just now, when he was exploring Feng Qingtian's specific location, the scene of the surrounding scene was clearly visible, which was the performance of Chang Hui.

And this kind of Chang Hui's strength is exactly the strength that a Jindan stage should have.

Before, Xu Qingfan reminded him to remember the state and feeling when he was always waving his strength.

After Jin Qinghan fell into that inexplicable state of meditation, his state and feeling every time he was always waving appeared clearly in his mind, and the scene of his previous fight with Feng Qingtian also appeared and was clearer.

If this breakthrough was a natural outcome but no one knew when it would be realized, then his battle with Feng Qingtian was the catalyst for his breakthrough.

It was fate that made people play tricks on him. Although Jin Qinghan regarded Feng Qingtian as his biggest opponent and enemy in his life, every time he broke through his realm, he was almost stimulated and influenced by Feng Qingtian.

Or only one day when he can get rid of this stimulation and influence, he will have a real chance to defeat Feng Qingtian. The mutual restraint of the skills is not the main reason. After all, running after someone's back is simply impossible to surpass that person.

But no matter what, Jin Qinghan is the third second-generation disciple of the Righteous Alliance to break through to the Golden Core Stage after Bo Guangyan and Hua Xian. Considering that Hua Xian was fully cultivated by Qingxu as the future head, and Bo Guangyan practiced immortality more than 200 years earlier than him, such an achievement is really amazing. After Xu Xiurong and the other two discovered Jin Qinghan's changes, their expressions were different. Some were surprised, some were happy, and some were hesitant. Jin Qinghan was now glowing with a dazzling golden light like the sun, which made the three women have to squint their eyes to observe. And the majestic momentum when Jin Qinghan broke through the realm made the three women retreat one after another. Even Zhang Yi, who had reached the Golden Core Stage, was no exception.

Only Xiao Jin seemed to be unaffected by Jin Qinghan's momentum and dazzling golden light. She still stood there, quietly watching the change. The expression in her eyes should not belong to the thinking of an animal. However, Dongfang Qingling and the other three women were all looking at Jin Qinghan who was breaking through the realm at this time, but did not notice Xiao Jin's abnormality.

Finally, after Zhang Yi's expression changed continuously, he suddenly gritted his teeth and slowly walked towards Jin Qinghan who was breaking through the realm. Under his eyes, there was a faint murderous intent.

But Dongfang Qingling seemed to have started to pay attention to Zhang Yi a long time ago. As soon as Zhang Yi moved, he suddenly blocked in front of her with a firm look.

Seeing the actions of Dongfang Qingling and Zhang Yi, Xu Xiurong was stunned. But in an instant, she figured out something. She also hurried to Dongfang Qingling's side and looked at Zhang Yi in front of her with a wary look.

Zhang Yi's trip was to find Xu Qingfan to get back the "Heaven-Defying Sword". However, given the importance of the "Heaven-Defying Sword", Xu Qingfan was destined not to compromise, so according to Zhang Yi's idea, he held several people who were closely related to Xu Qingfan hostage to force Xu Qingfan to surrender. Because of this, Zhang Yi never hurt Dongfang Qingling, Xu Xiurong, and Jin Qinghan from beginning to end.

But at this time, the situation changed. Zhang Yi had the strength to capture and guard a real dan period and two virtual dan period cultivators, but he was unable to capture a golden dan period and two virtual dan period cultivators. In fact, with Jin Qinghan's strength, and with Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong, Zhang Yi could only fight a draw, but he could not capture the three people to force Jin Qinghan.

It was because of this that in order to continue the plan, since Jin Qinghan's realm breakthrough could no longer be stopped, Zhang Yi had the intention to kill Jin Qinghan.

Looking at Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong standing in front of her, Zhang Yi's cold face flashed a trace of disdain, but she didn't do anything, just a silver light flashed in her eyes, and Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong felt a sharp pain in their heads, as if their consciousness was cut off at this moment, and the spiritual energy that had gathered in their bodies suddenly dissipated, and they fell to the ground powerlessly, losing the power to resist.

However, Zhang Yi didn't even look at Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong who were sitting at her feet, and just walked towards Jin Qinghan who was breaking through the realm.

As she walked, a sharp blade silently slashed into Zhang Yi's hand, flashing a hazy light under the morning sun.

When a cultivator breaks through a realm, his consciousness will reach the state of heaven and man induction or even the state of heaven and man being one, but Zhang Yi cannot use the "God-killing Technique" to attack directly.

But fortunately, for Zhang Yi, using a sharp blade to cut Jin Qinghan's Adam's apple, or using the "God-killing Technique" to tear Jin Qinghan's consciousness, the effect is the same, or even less effort.

Seeing Zhang Yi just walk into the golden light around Jin Qinghan, with light footsteps and murderous eyes, Dongfang Qingling was very anxious, but she was unable to stop him, and she shouted loudly: "You must not kill Senior Brother Jin. If you kill Senior Brother Jin, Senior Brother Xu will never forgive you, and will not give you that thing, because once you kill Senior Brother Jin. It means that you have completely broken with Senior Brother Xu, even threatening me and Junior Sister Xu will not have any effect."

As Dongfang Qingling shouted. Zhang Yi's footsteps could not help but pause.

Seeing that Zhang Yi's killing intention seemed to be somewhat shaken, Dongfang Qingling was delighted and said, "What's more, with the skills of the three of us, we don't know how long it will take to open the cave. Who knows what kind of accident will happen to Senior Brother Xu when he is trapped in the belly of the mountain? And if Senior Brother Jin helps, with his gold-based Taoism, our speed can be countless times faster."

As Dongfang Qingling spoke. Zhang Yi's footsteps finally stopped completely.

Slowly turning around, Zhang Yi looked at Dongfang Qingling quietly, with deep eyes, making it impossible to see her true thoughts at this time, while Dongfang Qingling looked at Zhang Yi calmly.

The four eyes met, but it lasted for a quarter of an hour. Dongfang Qingling expected Zhang Yi to give up the killing intention, Zhang Yi was thinking about the pros and cons of taking action, and Xu Xiurong on the side was full of tension. In the tension, no one noticed. Although Jin Qinghan's momentum was still majestic, the dazzling golden light emanating from his body gradually weakened.

After a quarter of an hour, Zhang Yi seemed to have finally finished thinking. He said slowly, "I still like to control the situation in my own hands. Although killing Jin Qinghan will completely offend Xu Qingfan, I have my own way to make him speak."

While Zhang Yi was speaking, Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong were horrified, but it seemed that it was not because of Zhang Yi's murderous intention towards Jin Qinghan, because under the horror. But there was a trace of happiness.

Zhang Yi was shocked and turned around suddenly, but found that Jin Qinghan, who was originally floating quietly in the air, was now standing proudly in front of her, with an imposing aura on his body. Obviously, he had reached the Jindan stage. There was a golden light in his hand, which turned into a golden long sword, pointing directly at Zhang Yi's throat. His eyes were cold.

"So. You want to kill me? And force Senior Brother Xu?"

The voice was cold, as if the air around him froze.

Maybe it was because the opportunity to break through the realm had been delayed for too long and accumulated too much. Or Jin Qinghan also had the tendency of Buddhist enlightenment when he broke through the realm after practicing some Buddhist exercises. The realm breakthrough that should have taken several days to complete was completed in just over a quarter of an hour for Jin Qinghan. It was incredible.

When Zhang Yi saw that Jin Qinghan had broken through to the Golden Core Stage, a trace of horror flashed in her eyes, just like Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong, but she remained calm and did not care about the golden sword against her neck. She just looked at Jin Qinghan deeply, as if she wanted to see through him.

Then, a silver light flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes.

"Be careful!"

Dongfang Qingling finally woke up from the fact that Jin Qinghan had broken through to the Golden Core Stage in such a short time, but suddenly remembered Zhang Yi's method and warned him in a surprised voice.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

When the silver light flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes, Jin Qinghan felt a sharp pain in his mind and his body trembled. Taking this opportunity, Zhang Yi flashed and instantly escaped from the attack range of the golden sword in Jin Qinghan's hand.

The next moment, Zhang Yi appeared behind Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong who were sitting on the ground, holding a short blade with a faint glow in each hand, and pressed it against the necks of Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong.

"How about it? Let's make a deal. These two people saved your life before, you won't let them die like this."

Zhang Yi looked at Jin Qinghan and said coldly.

Jin Qinghan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he slowly said: "No."

While speaking, Jin Qinghan did a move that no one expected.

Jin Qinghan slowly put away the golden long sword in his hand, and then drew his hands on his chest, two wounds appeared, and blood flowed out, wetting Jin Qinghan's clothes that had been almost burned by the flames, and kept dripping on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Seeing Jin Qinghan's sudden self-mutilation, Zhang Yi and others were all shocked. They didn't understand why Jin Qinghan would self-mutilate, but this self-mutilation was not a threat to Zhang Yi. In addition to the shock in his heart, Zhang Yi did not hurt Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong. He just asked in a cold voice. Jin Qinghan did not answer, but stared at her coldly. Zhang Yi suddenly found that Jin Qinghan's eyes were so similar to Feng Qingtian's before, and his heart was cold. Shocked by Jin Qinghan's behavior. Zhang Yi did not notice that the blood left from Jin Qinghan's wound. After dripping on the ground, it did not dissipate or seep into the ground, but slowly gathered and flowed slowly towards her location, as if it had some kind of spirituality. "Answer my question."

With inexplicable tension in his heart, Zhang Yi tightened his hand and pushed the sharp blade in his hand forward. Two faint blood marks were cut on the necks of Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong. Among them, Xu Xiurong couldn't help but exclaimed.

Jin Qinghan remained silent, but his blood had slowly gathered under Zhang Yi's feet, and unknowingly, it had turned into a golden color.

Zhang Yi was about to use some means to threaten and force Jin Qinghan, and the golden blood under her feet suddenly surged, and then turned into two golden short blades, and fiercely hit the two sharp blades she used to threaten Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong.

It was the magical power that Jin Qinghan had not used for a long time-blood-transformed spirit soldiers! !

"Dingdang" sounded twice, and Zhang Yi was caught off guard. The two short blades in his hands were swept away by Jin Qinghan's blood-transformed spirit soldiers. At this moment, Jin Qinghan did not hesitate at all, and his body moved violently. Rushing towards Zhang Yi, the distance of several feet was reached in an instant.

When Jin Qinghan rushed to Zhang Yi, she was already protected by golden spiritual armor, and the "Eight Evil Consciousness King" behind her had three heads and six arms, looking majestic.

"Looking for death!!"

Zhang Yi felt that he was being teased, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes. Then, a silver light flashed in his eyes, and he was about to use the art of destroying gods to attack Jin Qinghan.

However, the "Eight Evil Consciousness King" behind Jin Qinghan was waving various Buddhist instruments in his hands, and the sound of wooden fish and golden bells kept ringing. Zhang Yi was shocked to find that her preparation time for the "art of destroying gods" was more than ten times slower, and the power was greatly reduced.

At the same time, the golden giant sword in Jin Qinghan's hand. The two blood-transformed spiritual soldiers that had not dissipated. They also attacked Zhang Yi, as if because of Zhang Yi's previous murderous intentions and subsequent threats. Jin Qinghan also had a murderous heart, and every move was to leave no room for him.

"Hmm!!"

"Hmph!!"

Two muffled groans sounded. Zhang Yi's evasion speed was beyond Jin Qinghan's expectation, but she was still cut by the golden sword in Jin Qinghan's hand, leaving a long bloody mark on her right arm. Zhang Yi also did not expect Jin Qinghan's "Eight Evil Consciousness Kings" to be so mysterious, but the "God-killing Art" was still finally performed, causing Jin Qinghan's heart to be in pain again.

Then, it was a duel between magical powers, which was dazzling. Jin Qinghan's Taoism was mysterious, his attacks were sharp, and his magical powers were mysterious. Zhang Yi was extremely fast, his body was wandering, and the "God-killing Art" he performed was silent and difficult to resist. Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong were dazzled.

During the battle, Zhang Yi felt a little regretful. It was a pity that the six immortal masters she had controlled by the "Puppetry Technique" had died one after another. Otherwise, Jin Qinghan would have been defeated long ago. At the same time, Jin Qinghan regretted that if he had been given some time to get familiar with the various differences in the Jindan stage, the battle would never have been so stalemate.

This battle lasted from early morning to dusk, but Zhang Yi and Jin Qinghan could not do anything to each other. Instead, both sides were wounded and exhausted.

In the end, under Dongfang Qingling's suggestion, the two stopped fighting. After all, the top priority now was to dig a cave to rescue Xu Qingfan, and fighting like Zhang Yi and Jin Qinghan would only end up with both sides being injured.

In this way, with their own concerns and regrets, Zhang Yi and Jin Qinghan stopped fighting, and both were secretly on guard, sitting far away and meditating to heal their wounds.

Two days later, both of them recovered from their injuries. After Jin Qinghan, Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong exchanged their respective information, they knew that Xu Qingfan was buried in the cave, and they were very anxious. Without hesitation, they started to open up the collapsed cave.

Jin Qinghan practiced the gold-based Taoism, and his attack power was the highest among the five elements. His attack was extremely sharp. Although he was alone, when he opened up the cave, his speed was several times faster than that of Zhang Yi, Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong.

While Jin Qinghan was trying to open up the cave, Zhang Yi watched coldly from a distance, neither helping nor attacking, but no one knew what she was planning. Jin Qinghan and others were helpless and could only be cautious in secret.

In this way, although Jin Qinghan tried his best to open the cave, he could advance 20 to 30 meters every day, but the cave was originally very tortuous and had many bends. Often after digging for a long time, Jin Qinghan suddenly found that he was in the wrong direction. Therefore, although the progress was much faster than when Zhang Yi and others started, it was still slow.

In this way, a month passed...

On this day, Jin Qinghan still tried to open the cave with the help of Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong, but he had dug the cave for nearly 200 meters. The three of them were covered with dust. It was more convincing to say that they were mountain workers than cultivators.

Jin Qinghan flicked his ten fingers, and one golden sword after another chopped at the blocking rocks in front of him, and stone chips flew everywhere.

Suddenly, Jin Qinghan's movements paused, his eyes condensed, and he seemed to be surprised and full of surprise.

At the same time, Zhang Yi seemed to have suddenly discovered something and rushed towards the location of Jin Qinghan, Dongfang Qingling, and Xu Xiurong.

Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong were puzzled for a moment, but finally realized something was wrong.

In front of them, behind the huge rock, a majestic aura suddenly emanated, and a strange aura clearly entered everyone's heart. Sometimes it was full of vitality, and sometimes it was dead and desolate. The contrast made people feel very uncomfortable.

Although the aura was different, everyone was very familiar with this feeling, especially Jin Qinghan, because everyone had just experienced it a month ago.

This was the scene of a solid dan stage cultivator breaking through to the golden dan stage.

Could it be that in this collapsed cave, there was someone who broke through from the solid dan stage to the golden dan stage, separated by a stone in front of everyone?

In the collapsed cave, the one who was at the peak of the solid dan stage and met all these conditions, could it be Xu Qingfan? ? ! !

"It's Brother Xu!!"

Among the crowd, Jin Qinghan was the most familiar with Xu Qingfan's skills. After closing his eyes and sensing for a moment, he whispered to Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong, with a little excitement in his voice, and at the same time, he looked at Zhang Yi who came over with a vigilant look, as if to warn her not to have any other ideas.

And Zhang Yi just stood quietly not far away, and seemed to have no intention of attacking. Just like that, in the depths of the cave, everyone quietly waited for the moment when Xu Qingfan broke through the realm and broke through the stone.

Compared to Jin Qinghan who only took a little over a quarter of a second to break through to the Golden Core Stage, Xu Qingfan took much longer to break through, taking a full month and three days.

Thirty-three days later.

"Boom"

With a roar, the blood-colored boulder in front of everyone suddenly exploded.

Amid the flying stone chips, four figures appeared in front of everyone.

Half a while later, the dust settled, and the faces of the four people finally appeared in front of everyone.

These four figures were Xu Qingfan, Xu Qingfan's clones Xu Ying and Xu Zhiyuan, and the still sluggish Bo Guangyan.

However, after seeing Xu Qingfan, everyone was really surprised by Xu Qingfan's face at this time before they had time to rejoice, and their faces were all incredible.
