Chapter 220 Waiting for Senior Brother
The skinny old man's first reaction was to change direction and run away.
As long as he and Li Xiuchang did not go in the same direction, the elders of Tianyin Sect behind him would naturally have to choose one to chase him.
As a result, he saw the elders of Tianyin Sect hesitate for a moment and their flying direction deviated towards him.
Obviously, between the late Yuanying who could be caught up and the early Yuanying who might not be caught up, the elders of Tianyin Sect also knew how to choose.
The skinny old man cursed secretly and could only go back to the old road and chase after Li Xiuchang, so that he still had a chance of survival.
The skinny old man silently sacrificed his life magic weapon, a black nail-headed arrow, which neither reflected light nor made any sound, and attacked Li Xiuchang.
His purpose was not to kill Li Xiuchang, but to injure Li Xiuchang and affect Li Xiuchang's flying speed.
In this way, he could overtake Li Xiuchang and take the opportunity to get away.
"What a sinister magic weapon!"
Fortunately, Li Xiuchang was on guard, and his Zanpakuto flew out and slashed at the nail-headed arrow.
Both were inferior magic weapons, and the energy blade of the Zanpakuto collided with the sharp arrow of the spike-headed arrow.
There was a loud bang, and the sound waves echoed, shaking the trees below bare.
Originally, in this collision of magic weapons of the same level, only the Zanpakuto with an energy blade would suffer a little, as it was not as hard as the physical magic weapon.
In addition, the skinny old man's cultivation was higher than Li Xiuchang.
But the result was unexpected.
With the blessing of Li Xiuchang's slightly accomplished equality, the nail-headed arrow was cut off with a knife, and the aura of the magic weapon that was originally hidden could not be hidden due to disorder, and the aura burst out but quickly declined.
It was damaged by the Zanpakuto's knife!
The life magic weapon is closely connected with the cultivator. When the magic weapon is damaged, the skinny old man is also implicated instantly. His throat feels sweet, and he swallows the blood that surges to his throat.
He quickly took back his life magic weapon, and his heart became particularly wary of Li Xiuchang from the original slight contempt.
Li Xiuchang did not take the opportunity to fight back, but instead accelerated his speed to distance himself from the skinny old man.
The skinny old man was slightly injured, and his speed was slower than before. Soon, he was caught up by the elder of Tianyin Sect behind him.
Li Xiuchang took the opportunity to escape, and only glanced at him, and then he no longer paid attention to the battle behind him.
He just hoped that the skinny old man could hold on a little longer, giving him more time to escape.
At this moment, another person flew from the front and blocked Li Xiuchang's way.
"It seems to be another Divine Transformation cultivator!" Li Xiuchang's heart tightened.
The voice of the elder of Tianyin Sect came from far behind: "Old Pan, this kid is very slippery, don't let him run away, I'll come later!"
It turned out that the Divine Transformation cultivator who blocked the road was the helper called by the elder of Tianyin Sect.
Li Xiuchang did not slow down at all, and rushed straight towards "Old Pan".
"Walk into the trap!" Old Pan sneered, ready to capture Li Xiuchang.
Li Xiuchang raised his hand and threw out a wine jar. The wine jar flew in front of Lao Pan and exploded by itself. The wine in the jar turned into a fire net and rushed towards Lao Pan.
"A trifle!" A black whisk appeared in Lao Pan's hand. With a light flick, the black whisk, made of unknown material, grew in the wind, like a black waterfall blocking the flames.
But to Lao Pan's surprise, the flames did not go out, but stubbornly attached to the whisks and were still burning.
Although the damage caused by the flames to his whisk magic weapon was negligible, if it was not dealt with, it would slowly eat away his whisk magic weapon.
And the flames seemed to be burning more and more vigorously.
But before Lao Pan could take further action, after throwing out the wine jar, Li Xiuchang had already quietly pointed a finger at Lao Pan.
After Li Xiuchang practiced the "Send the Enemy Thousand Miles Away" spell countless times with Zhang Wanzhi's clone, he had already become extremely proficient.
This finger was both accurate and concealed.
Whoosh!
"Send the enemy a thousand miles away" accurately hit Lao Pan.
The next moment, Lao Pan disappeared with his burning whisk, and no one knew where he was sent.
Li Xiuchang continued to run without stopping.
This time, no one jumped out to block his way.
In the full-speed flight of the Yi Ma form, in just a moment, Li Xiuchang completely got rid of the Tianyin Sect elders behind him.
He released the Yi Ma form, restrained his whole body's breath, and went into the forest below, hiding in a random tree.
After a while, Li Xiuchang suddenly looked up and caught something flying over his head.
"Is that... Yuanying?"
Li Xiuchang flew out, and soon, he came back with a Yuanying who looked like an old man in his hand.
"Daoyou, senior, we can discuss it. If you spare me, all my life savings hidden in the cave will be yours..."
Yuanying begged Li Xiuchang bitterly.
Li Xiuchang sneered: "You want to bribe me with your little tricks? And I'm afraid that all the valuable things on you are in your storage bag, which has been taken away by the Tianyin Sect elder."
It turned out that this Nascent Soul was the Nascent Soul of the skinny old man. He was caught up by the Tianyin Sect elder in the Spiritualization Stage, and he had no chance to survive.
But Li Xiuchang used the "Send the Enemy A Thousand Miles" spell to send "Old Pan" away, which made the Tianyin Sect elder shocked and frightened. In his distraction, he gave the skinny old man's Nascent Soul a chance to escape.
The Tianyin Sect elder suddenly found that his companion's breath disappeared out of thin air. He didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and he didn't dare to chase Li Xiuchang anymore. After weighing the pros and cons, he chose to give up.
"Answer my questions honestly, and I may leave you a way out." Li Xiuchang asked in a deep voice, "What is the name of this world? What forces are there? Where is the entrance to the lower world of Zen Heart?"
The old man with Yuanying lowered his eyebrows and answered: "This is the Wanshan Realm. This world is full of mountains, so it got its name..."
Wanshan Realm...
Li Xiuchang has heard of the great name of this world.
The demon cultivator who was captured by Senior Brother Chen Changsheng before ascended from the Wanshan Realm to the Xianyin Realm.
Unlike the relatively peaceful and tranquil Haizhou Realm, the Wanshan Realm is particularly chaotic.
There are many large and small forces from all sides, and Buddhism, demons, and Taoism all have their inheritances. However, no matter which way the forces that can survive in this world are good people.
The mountains and rivers all over the Wanshan Realm are like wrinkles on the face of the earth, providing convenience for hiding filth.
The forces of all parties are fighting endlessly, and the robbery cultivators are rampant. For example, the elders of the Tianyin Sect can openly engage in robbery cultivation activities.
From the old man in the Nascent Soul stage, Li Xiuchang learned that the Tianyin Sect was not a demonic force, but a legitimate Taoist sect. Although they practiced Yinhan techniques, they were also orthodox Taoist sects.
In this world, there is no distinction between good and evil. Although demonic cultivation is evil, the Taoist sect is not necessarily good. Even in Buddhism, there have been demon monks who eat people.
"Am I in the world of underworld cultivation?"
Li Xiuchang was somewhat fortunate that he had traveled to the Xianyin Realm, not the Wanshan Realm.
Although the competition in the Wanshan Realm was cruel, its overall strength was far stronger than the peaceful Haizhou Realm, and there were many strong people. Li Xiuchang had to be cautious when acting in this realm.
Li Xiuchang was thinking about what he should do next.
He must return to the Xianyin Realm, but if he wants to ascend from the Wanshan Realm to the Xianyin Realm, he needs to reach the peak of the Refining Void Realm.
Even if he takes the route of body refining, he must practice to the peak of the sixth level.
Li Xiuchang is still far away.
So he still has to find a way to reunite with Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi and Senior Brother Motu.
But should he take the initiative to find the two senior brothers, or wait for them to come to him?
Li Xiuchang still didn't know where the two senior brothers had gone. He didn't see them when he came out of the Buddha Head Space.
If he wanted to take the initiative to find them, he could only go to the Reclining Buddha Temple in the Zen Heart Realm.
Maybe the two senior brothers would return there.
But the passage to the Zen Heart Realm, according to the old man in the Nascent Soul, is in the hands of the "Demon King Palace", one of the three top forces in the Wanshan Realm.
The Demon King Palace, just by hearing the name, you know that this is a demonic force.
To be precise, the Demon King Palace is built next to that passage.
If Li Xiuchang wants to go to the Zen Heart Realm, he has to fight all the way to the Demon King Palace base camp, overcome the obstruction of the Demon King Palace masters, and force his way into the passage.
This is not completely impossible.
Because Li Xiuchang still has an eighth-level talisman that he has never used.
He can try to add an eighth-level talisman brick and break in under the siege of the demon masters.
But it is still too risky.
He didn't know if there were any old monsters from the upper realm in the Demon King's Palace, and whether they could break the protection of the eighth-level talisman bricks.
Moreover, what if he went down with great difficulty and found that Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Mo were not there?
The two senior brothers would most likely come to find him when they learned about his ascension, so if he took the initiative to go to the lower realm to find the two senior brothers, the probability of failure was not small.
Li Xiuchang thought about it and still felt that it was more reliable to wait for the two senior brothers to find him in the Wanshan Realm.
"But in this vast world, how easy is it for the two senior brothers to find me? I'd better try to make some noise and provide some clues to the two senior brothers."
...
Chanxin Realm, Reclining Buddha Temple.
Motu returned here two days after Li Xiuchang ascended.
He frowned, but still didn't see Zhang Wanzhi.
When the old abbots saw Motu, they couldn't help but be shocked. Motu had only ascended for two or three days, but he actually returned to the Chanxin Realm through the passage. What does this mean?
This means that the other party basically swept all the way in the upper Wanshan Realm, with no opponents, so he could rush back to the lower realm so quickly.
As the upper realm of the Chanxin Realm, several old abbots are relatively familiar with the situation in Wanshan Realm.
Motu asked: "Where did my companion go?"
"Immortal, who are you asking about?" The old abbots confirmed.
"Who?" Motu paused. He thought Li Xiuchang was still undergoing the test, but it seemed that he had come out?
"Tell me about both of them."
"The immortal waited for you outside for a while, then left the Reclining Buddha Temple, and did not explain where he went."
"The immortal who went in with you also finished the test not long after you ascended, but he, like you, ascended as soon as he came out, and by the way, he also survived a catastrophe."
"Ascended?" Motu was stunned.
Isn't this a joke!
If he had known earlier, he would not have been in a hurry to come down.
Motu immediately sent a message to contact Zhang Wanzhi, and a moment later, Zhang Wanzhi rushed back in a hurry.
"You said Xiuchang ascended?" Zhang Wanzhi shouted anxiously.
"Where did you go?" Motu asked in a bad tone.
"I, I just went out for a walk, and you two went in to play, but I couldn't go in, so I couldn't go around?"
Zhang Wanzhi was also a little bit unconfident. He knew that if he hadn't run around, he wouldn't have completely lost contact with Li Xiuchang.
At least he could ascend with Li Xiuchang.
Zhang Wanzhi said in a muffled voice: "I thought you were still here, but who knew you would ascend? If you had kept your cool and didn't act recklessly in the Buddha head space, how could you have ascended? You still have the nerve to blame me!"
Mo Tu was silent.
Zhang Wanzhi was right. If he could endure the disturbance of the Buddhist scriptures in his ears and accept the test calmly, he would not have ascended.
The two of them were counting on each other, so they didn't take it seriously.
I didn't expect that Li Xiuchang would also ascend here.
"The above is the Wanshan Realm." Mo Tu said.
The Wanshan Realm is a very dangerous lower realm. If it was the Haizhou Realm, he wouldn't be in a hurry.
"What should I do?" Zhang Wanzhi asked.
"What else can I do? Go up and find someone."
After that, Mo Tu released his powerful aura and triggered the ascension rules.
Zhang Wanzhi followed suit.
After a while, the two were led by the clouds and ascended to the upper realm.
