Excellent, excellent!
For nearly a year, Jian Yuntian, Zhou Tianjian, and the five remaining elders of the sect have been very worried.
They worried that Hua Shisan would become possessed by evil because of Zhu Jingyi's death and then attack the Soul Devouring Cult.
If something goes wrong, the Nine Hua Sword Sect will be completely destroyed.
Although Jian Yuntian's cultivation had reached the Golden Core stage, he did not dare to try it lightly without the Nascent Soul Pill.
He turned to look at Zhou Tianjian and said, "Tianjian."
Have you been able to ascertain Xia Xiangtian's current location?
Upon hearing the question, Zhou Tianjian clasped his hands in a fist salute and replied:
"Master, no."
Xia Xiangtian did not participate in the battle between the Nine Hua Sword Sect and the Soul Devouring Sect at all.
"This disciple suspects... that Elder Lu sent Xia Xiangtian away beforehand."
Upon hearing Zhou Tianjian's words, Jian Yuntian's face turned ashen.
His expression was extremely cold.
How is this any different from betraying one's sect?
He originally had no intention of killing Xia Xiangtian, after all, the fact that Xia Xiangtian was competing with Zhou Tianjian for the position of sect leader did not have much impact on the sect.
But now he is incredibly angry.
The sect's only Nascent Soul Pill is missing, preventing him from attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. This is understandable, considering Lu Qinghan sacrificed himself for the sect, so this can be somewhat forgiven.
But the other party didn't believe him, and thus made such a big mistake.
In the face of the sect's crisis, in order to protect his only disciple, he chose to send Xia Xiangtian away from the Jiuhua Sword Sect!
"Grandmaster Uncle, how can I let Xia Xiangtian go after you've done this?!"
At this point, he even suspected that Lu Qinghan was not dead and that he sent Xia Xiangtian away in order to possess his body.
To live a second life by using someone else's body.
Otherwise, he would have no reason to make so many preparations just to protect a disciple.
That Nascent Soul Pill was probably a backup plan he kept for when he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Thinking of this, Jian Yuntian's inner turmoil slowly dissipated.
If that's the case, then everything makes sense.
He immediately gave the order, saying, "Heavenly Sword, relay my command."
The sect's direct disciple, Xia Xiangtian, betrayed the sect and was expelled from the sect.
Order the disciples of the sect's Enforcement Hall to immediately leave the mountain and apprehend Xia Xiangtian.
If necessary, they can be directly suppressed and killed.
He did not pin the blame on Lu Qinghan, but instead claimed that Xia Xiangtian himself betrayed the sect.
It was all to save face for Lu Qinghan.
Hearing Jian Yuntian's words, Zhou Tianjian was slightly stunned.
Shouldn't this kind of thing be discussed with the sect elders before a decision is made?
The elders are all in seclusion right now.
But seeing his master's unquestionable expression, he dared not ask any questions.
He immediately accepted the order, saying, "Yes, Master!"
After speaking, he walked out of the main hall and went to the Hall of Law Enforcement in person.
The Jiuhua Sword Sect announced a century-long closure of its mountain, prohibiting its disciples from being active in the cultivation world.
At the very least, they were born openly and blatantly.
Otherwise, wouldn't that be contradicting yourself?
Therefore, sending out disciples from the Enforcement Hall was already the limit.
……
Ancient Sword Sect.
A quiet and elegant courtyard.
Xia Xiangtian looked at the map in his hand.
The location marked on the map is none other than the location of the treasure vault.
There are a total of seven treasure troves, three in the Eastern Heavenly Dragon Sea and the remaining four in the Northern Black Tortoise Sea.
It was prepared by Lu Qinghan for Xia Xiangtian.
Looking at the treasure map, Xia Xiangtian had a disdainful smile on his lips.
"Hehe, old man, no wonder you're so good to me."
They have ulterior motives; they really want to possess me.
They actually resorted to the Seven Star Life-Extending Body-Seizing Technique.
That's interesting.
Xia Xiangtian looked at the location of the treasure on the treasure map and secretly scoffed.
Ten years ago, he felt that Lu Qinghan's gaze was not quite right, so he used his status to read through all the spells, secret techniques, and forbidden techniques in the sect's library.
Although the Seven Star Life-Extending Body-Seizing Method was well hidden, he still bribed the elder of the Scripture Pavilion and found this body-seizing method.
Coincidentally, this method of possession contains a way to break it.
This time, the treasure will be his, and the Nascent Soul Pill that Lu Qinghan prepared for him will also be his.
As for Lu Qinghan, this cheap master who wanted to possess his body, then he can only die.
However, getting the Nascent Soul Pill back from the half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, Divine Blade Master, in the Ancient Blade Sect is not an easy task and requires careful planning.
Before his death, Lu Qinghan made the Divine Blade Master swear an oath to Heaven to protect Xia Xiangtian for sixty years.
Sixty years later, Xia Xiangtian was still alive and could then take the Nascent Soul Pill.
That means he has sixty years to seek the Nascent Soul Elixir.
Judging from the time frame alone, this period of time is not short.
However, from the perspective of cultivation level, this time is very short.
He is currently at the peak of Foundation Establishment. It would be good if he could break through to the mid-stage of Golden Core in sixty years.
It's simply impossible to steal it by force.
The only way is to outsmart them.
Therefore, he needs to plan carefully.
Five months later.
Meteor gold ruins.
This perilous place is perpetually covered by a layer of gray-gold clouds, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate.
But it was unusually bright because the ground was covered with stones that shone with golden light.
This thing is shiny, but completely useless.
If it were in the mortal world, it would definitely be a divine object that everyone would fight over, but in the cultivation world, it's the kind of thing that nobody would want even if they threw it away.
Every so often, large amounts of gold dust would fall from the gray-gold clouds in the sky.
The ground was crisscrossed with gullies and cracked like a spider web, with golden liquid flowing from some of the cracks.
This place has a rich spiritual energy of metallic and earth elements, but the gray-gold clouds in the sky cause the spiritual energy to contain a lot of impurities.
It is very difficult for cultivators to refine, and even Nascent Soul cultivators need to put in some effort to remove impurities.
Moreover, this is a dangerous place, and most of those who appear here are desperate criminals.
The monsters living in this dangerous place are inherently ferocious and have a violent temper.
They are primarily composed of metal and earth elemental monsters, renowned for their attack and defense, making them extremely difficult to deal with.
Without some skill, one wouldn't survive more than three days in the Meteorite Wasteland.
boom!
A stern-faced middle-aged man with a white rat perched on his shoulder cleaved a hundred-meter-long golden centipede in two with a single sword stroke, attempting to ambush the creature from underground.
He looked up and saw a petite and cute woman with a gun rushing toward him from ten miles away.
The red and gold spear in his hand, adorned with a red tassel, was a full 2.2 meters long, while the woman was only about 1.65 meters tall.
The contrast is striking.
The woman had a mid-stage Golden Core cultivation level, but she was seriously injured and was currently fleeing in a sorry state.
It was only because there was a huge creature behind him.
Magnetosaurus in the mid-stage of the third tier.
Its appearance is that of an enlarged pangolin, but it has a dragon's head, or more accurately, a jiaolong's head.
Its back is covered with yellowish-brown scales, with bright small meteorites embedded between the scales, and its body is a kilometer long.
