Chapter 50 Struggle Between Water and Fire, Oath of Blood and Bones
After taking off his mask and stepping out of the high-rise building, Li Ya subconsciously glanced at the high-hanging sun.
In just one day, the circumstances changed drastically.
"To stay or to leave?"
At this moment, Li Ya even had the idea of running away. Now that he had all the financial resources, there was nowhere in the world he couldn't go.
He stood on the covered walkway, closed his eyes, and let the sunlight fall on him, his mind a jumble of thoughts.
After a while, Li Ya slowly opened his eyes.
"Let's stay!"
No matter what, Yunfu Sect is still a sect registered in Baiyujing.
As for what lies ahead, there's no need to worry until one reaches the Foundation Establishment stage. Moreover, all the people I've known since this life are here. Although my master has some utilitarian motives towards me, he still has the grace of passing on the Dharma.
"Becoming an outer disciple of the Yunfu Sect means that even if the sect is small, it is still within the system. Going outside to struggle means losing a lot of support."
Having figured this out, Li Ya walked towards Palace No. 91 (甲字九十一宫).
……
Back in the hall, he saw his master with a joyful expression. Upon asking, he learned that his master had stumbled upon a great opportunity.
The peach tree that Master wanted was originally fiercely contested, but for some reason, several competitors suddenly stopped bidding, and he was able to acquire it smoothly.
Having achieved his goal, Master's face showed a hint of joy.
As for Li Ya's disappearance all day, he didn't say anything, and the others didn't ask any further questions.
Li Ya took his seat, but after looking at the items up for auction for a while, he lost interest and focused his mind on the Ling Shu Cave Heaven.
Within the cave, the Sumeru stones that had not yet opened up the Sumeru space, enveloped by Fangcunlu's innate spiritual light, transformed into wisps of gray mist that surged into the surrounding chaotic void.
In just a short time, it expanded to a space of several acres.
Li Ya immediately tore open several spirit talismans, and part of the mountain root turned into a stream of light and merged into the original ground. The spirit rock followed suit, and under the connection of the spiritual power of the mountain root, they merged to complete a piece of ground.
This cycle repeated itself, but Li Ya didn't feel tired at all; on the contrary, he enjoyed it.
Until I was awakened by the loud explosions of fireworks.
Looking up, I saw that it was already dark.
Huge fireworks burst in the night sky, and soon after, a man in brocade robes appeared in the central meeting hall.
"I am Dugu Yifang. Thank you all for your support today. All the treasures have been sold out."
Immediately, several powerful auras rose from various palaces.
"Dugu, could it be that you, Dugu Cheng, are trying to deceive us? I came here today specifically for this wine worm. No matter what, you must hand it over, or I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving."
"Lord Dugu, we have traveled a great distance for this wine-loving worm. Such actions are surely inappropriate!"
……
Dugu Yifang raised his hand to calm everyone down.
"Seniors, fellow Daoists, please don't be anxious."
"The clan elders just told us that although this wine worm is precious, it is only useful to Qi Refining cultivators. Why not set up a treasure competition?"
"Let the Qi Refining cultivators compete for it. The winner will be given this wine worm, and the other winners will each receive a reward."
Instantly, this caused a huge stir, and all the Qi Refining cultivators present were in an uproar, as this was an incredible opportunity.
"What are the rules of this treasure contest?"
"Please look, everyone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a flame rose out of thin air above Tianque Archway, swirling and intertwining, transforming into a fire tornado hundreds of feet high.
The fire tornado continued to swirl, and then a strong wind swept in, the wind fueling the fire and the fire gaining power from the wind.
Then, the wind and clouds surged high in the sky, and a vast and boundless celestial river descended from the void.
The river water surged like thunder, plunging into the tornado, where the water and fire collided, producing bursts of explosions.
"This fire is the earth fire that has been drawn from the bottom of Dugu City for thousands of years. The entire city uses this flame for refining weapons and pills."
"Blessed for a thousand years, the earth's fire is rich in spiritual energy, giving birth to the Kunlan Treasure Flame, which contains fire essence that can be extracted to refine the spiritual energy of magical treasures. This celestial river was captured from the Nine Heavens by the Ancestor with great supernatural powers, and it is rich in the pure energy of the Nine Heavens, which can be used to cleanse and refine magical treasures."
"All cultivators need to use their divine power to navigate through the fire tornado and travel upstream along this celestial river. The first to reach the top will be the champion."
The sound echoed throughout the entire Dugu City, and all the cultivators within were overjoyed.
"This opportunity is meant for those who are just starting out, so I hope you will not try anything underhanded. It would be undignified to get caught if you overstep your bounds!"
"Tonight at midnight, the beginning will begin!"
"The clan elders have reinforced the formation in this airspace, so don't worry about the distance when using your divine sense. Feel free to act freely!"
Inside Palace No. 91 (甲字九十一宫), several people were also eager to try.
"You lot, forget about it. Do you have any magical artifacts that can control the envoy?"
"Before reaching the sixth level of Qi Refining, one cannot strengthen the brain and spirit, so how can one generate divine consciousness? Without divine consciousness, even if you have a magic weapon, you can only throw it like a brick."
"I can't participate, but Xiao Daoyun, you can still try!"
The group couldn't help but feel disappointed, regretting that their cultivation levels were too low to have this opportunity.
Li Ya couldn't help but say, "Doesn't that mean only cultivators at the sixth to twelfth level can participate?"
Shen Wuhuo raised his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Otherwise what?"
"Since this matter has nothing to do with us minor repairmen, I'll just wander around!"
After saying that, Li Ya left the main hall.
Shen Wu Huo frowned and turned to Xie Dao Yun, saying, "Little Dao Yun, your disciple seems to have some little secrets of his own!"
"So what if they do? Every cultivator has their own secrets. Since they don't affect anything important, digging too deep into them is ultimately not a good idea!"
"That's right, Xiao Daoyun is right!"
When Senior Sister Qin saw Li Ya leave, she chased after him, but once outside, Li Ya disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, Li Ya rented a quiet room for cultivation and summoned Ling Shu.
"Please help me deduce, Spirit Pivot: how can one control a magical artifact to fly away from the body without divine consciousness?"
[At your request, Fellow Daoist, the Spiritual Pivot assists you in deducing the method of controlling treasures without divine consciousness.]
[Spiritual Energy Consumption: 600 strands of True Qi]
[Time required: Half an hour]
"If I don't fight for such a treasure, my Dao heart will not be at peace!"
……
Meanwhile, those sects and families that had already purchased the "Sacrifice Sutra" method gradually mastered it within a day through interpretation by their senior cultivators.
Some have even arranged for their disciples to begin their cultivation.
Meanwhile, on the White Bone Peak of the Innate Holy Sect in the Southern Wilderness Continent.
The changes have been dramatic in the past six months; the once beautiful and sacred mountain has now become a hell on earth.
The gnarled pine tree withered, and the sacred spring ceased to flow.
The twelve skeleton demonic figures had lost their former arrogance, and malevolent demonic fire swirled around the entire skeleton peak.
Yin Tianjue's eyes were bloodshot. He felt his control over the White Bone Dharma Lineage was rapidly slipping away.
Spiritual energy can be replenished, and cultivation can be repaired.
The essence of a lineage is irreplaceable. Once the essence is lost and merged into another lineage, the principles of the lineage become incomplete. With incomplete principles, the foundation of the lineage becomes unstable, and the rank of the lineage drops uncontrollably.
"Taoist thief! Taoist thief!"
"How dare you steal my Daoist principles!"
"what……"
Yin Tianjue went completely mad, his furious roars piercing his throat and echoing across White Bone Peak.
Outside the peak, Yan Jinghong's face was gloomy, and the other seven peak masters all had solemn expressions.
The Primordial Holy Sect has always been the one to take the lineage of others; when has it ever been in this situation?
As the dojo of the White Bone lineage, the entire White Bone Peak has been connected with the energy of the White Bone lineage for thousands of years, and is linked to the energy of the first person of the lineage.
Now that the lineage and Daoist essence have leaked out, the spiritual energy of the entire White Bone Peak has become completely chaotic.
A sudden gust of wind arose at the summit, black winds swept across the ground, stirring up dust and rocks everywhere. Yin Tianjue unleashed all his magical power, transforming it into dozens of dark, malevolent winds that swirled and roared in mid-air.
The disciples of the Innate Holy Sect were all horrified, their bodies trembling as they felt the out-of-control pressure, their hearts filled with fear.
On the cliff of sunken bones, Yin Tianjue slowly raised his head, two streams of bloody tears flowing down his face, and a cold killing intent surging deep within his pupils.
He clearly sensed that the leakage of the lineage and the essence of the Dao was unstoppable. His ancestors had worked tirelessly, their blood staining the path, to elevate the White Bone lineage from a minor branch to the position of the first rank.
But in his hands, this honor began to crumble.
A legacy spanning thousands of years, overturned in a single day.
This hatred is irreconcilable!
This feud must be fought to the death!
Yin Tianjue slowly propped up his swaying body, his body radiating terrifying pressure, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.
He raised his eyes and looked towards the Central Continent, his crimson eyes blazing with killing intent, and swore an eternal blood oath.
"I hereby swear an oath!"
"No matter your background, no matter where you hide!"
"Anyone who steals my lineage and my Daoist principles, and destroys my thousand-year-old tradition!"
"I will use all the power of the White Bone lineage, and exhaust the rest of my lifespan, to grind you to dust, annihilate your soul, and condemn you to eternal damnation!"
"With this crippled body as my witness, for all eternity, we will fight to the death!!"
boom!
The moment the oath was uttered, the murderous aura that filled the entire White Bone Peak suddenly converged, transforming into a scarlet beam of blood light that shot straight into the sky, tearing apart the heavens.
The originally gray and gloomy sky was dyed a blood-red, ferocious, and terrifying color.
A fierce wind howled at the summit, causing the earth to shake.
Even though Yan Jinghong had already attained the Golden Core stage, he had lost his composure at this moment.
Nine black seals rotated in the void behind them, and everyone present felt a series of demonic sounds, making it difficult to stand in the void.
