Chapter 1123 The Escaped Immortal
The Emperor of Daheng looked at Wu Tao and said, "Master, we don't know where the immortals are. As members of the royal family of Daheng, we have never seen immortals."
Seeing a flash of disappointment on Wu Tao's face, the Emperor of Daheng continued, "But the immortals, the classics of our Daheng state record that Taizu once saw immortals flying in the sky in the fierce beast mountain range."
"Fierce beast mountain range?" Wu Tao looked at the Emperor of Daheng.
The Emperor of Daheng nodded and said, "It is the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, but the entire Fierce Beast Mountain Range is isolated by miasma, and there are those powerful ferocious beasts in it. Even martial arts masters and troops cannot enter the Fierce Beast Mountain Range."
"Once, my Daheng country also sent 5 grandmasters and 100,000 troops to enter the Fierce Beast Mountain Range to search for immortals. However, the 5 grandmasters and 100,000 troops did not come out of the Fierce Beast Mountain Range. Since then, everyone in the world knows that the Fierce Beast Mountain Range is a dead end, and no matter which country it is, they dare not explore the Fierce Beast Mountain Range!"
Wu Tao has been wandering in the Daheng martial arts world for many years. On the way to Hengdu, he also heard about the Fierce Beast Mountain Range. He knew that there was poisonous miasma in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, and there were various ferocious beasts entrenched. Humans cannot enter it, and martial arts masters will never return if they enter it.
But unexpectedly, the Daheng royal family gave such an answer, the immortal is in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range
"It is very possible that the barrier between immortals and mortals is the Fierce Beast Mountain Range." Wu Tao thought to himself, and said to the Daheng Emperor: "Show me the book that records the immortals who have seen immortals in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range."
The Daheng Emperor immediately asked a royal martial arts master to fetch the book and handed it to Wu Tao respectfully.
Wu Tao flipped through the book handed over by the Daheng Emperor, and indeed found a record in the book that the founding ancestor of the Daheng Kingdom went to the edge of the Fierce Beast Mountain Range and clearly saw immortals flying over the Fierce Beast Mountain Range.
"It seems that I have to go to this Fierce Beast Mountain Range!" Wu Tao covered the royal book and said to himself.
Afterwards, Wu Tao returned the royal book to Emperor Daheng and said, "Thank you."
He stood up and was about to leave the martial arts hall. Seeing this, Emperor Daheng hurriedly said, "Master, are you going to enter the Fierce Beast Mountain Range?"
Wu Tao looked at Emperor Daheng and nodded slightly, saying, "Yes, I am going to enter the Fierce Beast Mountain Range to find a place for immortals to practice. The spiritual energy in the world is too thin, and there is no hope of golden elixir in this life!"
Emperor Daheng didn't know what realm the golden elixir was, but he knew that it was not easy to see an immortal. He wanted to seize this opportunity to make friends with the immortal, and said, "Master, the Fierce Beast Mountain Range is full of poisonous miasma, and there are all kinds of ferocious beasts rampant. It is probably difficult for you to do it alone. , why don't we send the Grandmaster and the army to help the Immortal Master enter the Fierce Beast Mountain Range? "
After hearing this, Wu Tao said, "Didn't the Great Heng Kingdom send a martial arts Grandmaster and 100,000 troops into the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, and the whole army was annihilated and none of them could come back? It's useless to help me this time, and it will only increase casualties. It's not necessary!"
The Emperor of Daheng saw that Wu Tao was unwilling, opened his mouth, and didn't dare to force anything else, so he could only say: "Farewell to the Immortal Master."
The other 11 royal martial arts Grandmasters also stood up and bowed to Wu Tao and said: "Farewell to the Immortal Master."
Wu Tao didn't say anything more, and went straight out of the martial arts hall, out of the palace, and back to the inn. He didn't take much rest, and drove the carriage directly to leave Hengdu.
There were many martial artists who followed Wu Tao to Hengdu. They saw Wu Tao enter the palace with their own eyes, and left the palace so quickly, and he didn't have any conflicts with the royal family.
In fact, many martial artists hope that Wu Tao can have conflicts with the royal family, weaken the power of the royal family, and allow martial artists to be more free.
But the second day after Wu Tao left Chengdu, the Daheng Royal Family issued a shocking news that the suddenly appeared sword master was not a warrior, but an immortal.
Hearing the news released by the Daheng Royal Family, the entire Daheng martial arts world was shocked. It turned out that it was not a sword master, but an immortal. No wonder the sword master was as easy to kill as an ant in his hands.
So far, when Wu Tao left Hengdu and went to the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, the martial artists of Daheng Kingdom only dared to watch from afar and dared not approach.
The Fierce Beast Mountain Range is on the border of Daheng Kingdom, bordering Daheng Kingdom and several other countries.
Wu Tao did not rush on the road, but drove the carriage while practicing and rushing on the road. After three years, he arrived at the Fierce Beast Mountain Range.
Along the way, Wu Tao fully understood the Fierce Beast Mountain Range and knew that the Fierce Beast Mountain Range was full of poisonous miasma, so he collected medicinal materials and simply refined some detoxifying pills.
Although he was not an alchemist, he still refined some low-level elixirs with the vision of a cultivator of the Void Realm. He also refined some magic tools to deal with the beasts in the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range.
"Maybe it's a demon beast."
Wu Tao thought in his heart.
The Ferocious Beast Mountain Range was ahead. Wu Tao called a carriage. Looking at the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range ahead, which was like a primeval forest, he said to the big black horse: "Let's go, you are free!"
The big black horse rubbed Wu Tao's hand with its horse head. Over the years, Wu Tao has taken good care of the big black horse, so the big black horse also regarded Wu Tao as the real master.
However, the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range is too dangerous. Even the martial arts grandmaster will be killed in it. Wu Tao will not let the big black horse enter the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range.
His fate in the mortal world with the big black horse is over.
"Go! It's too dangerous. You can't go in." Wu Tao touched the horse's head again, untied the noose of the big black horse, and slapped the black horse's buttocks hard. The big black horse cried out, and ran in the opposite direction of the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range, looking back at Wu Tao while running.
But Wu Tao had already entered the Fierce Beast Mountain Range.
As soon as he entered the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, Wu Tao felt the depth of the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, like entering a primeval forest in an uninhabited area.
Wu Tao used his body skills to rush towards the depths of the Fierce Beast Mountain Range. The deeper he went into the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, the more concentrated the spiritual energy he found.
"I really didn't come to the wrong place!"
The concentrated spiritual energy means that there are either monsters or immortal cultivators in it.
Half a day later, Wu Tao finally entered the real Fierce Beast Mountain Range. The real Fierce Beast Mountain Range is full of poisonous miasma. So he swallowed a detoxification pill in advance, and these poisonous miasma were not a threat to him.
Wu Tao is now at the 5th level of Qi Refining and still needs to eat grains and cereals. Fortunately, there are still many ferocious beasts in this Fierce Beast Mountain Range. Although he has not encountered a real monster so far, it is also extremely fierce and comparable to the martial arts masters in the outside world.
No wonder the martial arts masters will die in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, and the army can't do it either.
Wu Tao killed the ferocious beast and roasted it for food.
Two days later, Wu Tao went deep into the Fierce Beast Mountain Range and finally encountered a demon beast, which was a first-stage demon beast, but it was also killed in Wu Tao's hands.
The spiritual energy of the Fierce Beast Mountain Range gradually became richer, and Wu Tao's cultivation speed became faster and faster.
Moreover, as a weapon refiner, these demon beast materials can also be used as weapon refinement materials, and the magic weapons he refines can deal with more demon beasts.
Moreover, there are some other spiritual materials in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, otherwise he would not be able to refine magic weapons.
Wu Tao's speed in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range is not fast, but his cultivation speed is getting faster and faster.
After entering the Fierce Beast Mountain Range for a year and a half, his cultivation has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.
After another two years, Wu Tao finally left the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, and his cultivation also reached the seventh level of Qi Refining. After leaving the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, Wu Tao finally met a cultivator, a cultivator of the fifth level of Qi Refining.
After asking this cultivator of the fifth level of Qi Refining, Wu Tao learned that the nearest gathering place for cultivators is called Qingshanfang City.
Wu Tao followed the guidance of the fifth-level Qi Refining Immortal Cultivator and arrived at Qingshan Market three days later.
To enter Qingshan Market, three spiritual stones are needed, but where can Wu Tao get spiritual stones? But fortunately, he has monster materials, and he successfully entered Qingshan Market with the monster materials as collateral.
In Qingshan Market, casual cultivators must rent caves to stay in Qingshan Market. Qingshan Market is managed by Qingshan Sect, which has a Jindan immortal sect.
There are also some immortal families in Qingshan Market, but the highest cultivation level is only the foundation building level.
Wu Tao sold all the monster materials killed in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, and he had more than 60 spiritual stones on him. Relying on more than 60 spiritual stones, he rented a cave in Qingshan Market, and then he planned to resume his old business and become a weapon refiner with these spiritual stones.
In the blink of an eye, it was 10 years later.
Wu Tao has already reached the 9th level of Qi Refining. He is also well-known in Qingshan Market and is a first-level senior weapon refiner. Some foundation-building immortal cultivation families in Qingshan Market have extended olive branches to Wu Tao, wanting him to become their family's dedicated weapon refiner.
But Wu Tao refused.
"Now it's time to build a foundation, which requires foundation-building pills, but it's extremely difficult to obtain by one person. I can join a chamber of commerce or an immortal cultivation family to obtain foundation-building pills."
Wu Tao planned in his mind.
After operating in Qingshan Market for these years, Wu Tao also knew the situation of these chambers of commerce and immortal cultivation families in Qingshan Market, so he made a selection in his mind.
In the end, Wu Tao chose Baiquan Chamber of Commerce. The contract signed with Baiquan Chamber of Commerce was to refine weapons for Baiquan Chamber of Commerce for ten years, and Baiquan Chamber of Commerce would seek a foundation-building pill for Wu Tao.
After Wu Tao built his foundation, he would refine weapons for Baiquan Chamber of Commerce for another 20 years.
After that, Wu Tao became a guest refiner of Baiquan Chamber of Commerce. Ten years later, Baiquan Chamber of Commerce kept its contract and indeed obtained an extra foundation-building pill for Wu Tao. Wu Tao successfully built his foundation with this foundation-building pill.
After building his foundation, Wu Tao was promoted to a second-level refiner, and his status and treatment in Baiquan Chamber of Commerce were greatly improved.
Twenty years later, Wu Tao cultivated to the sixth level of foundation-building. His contract with Baiquan Chamber of Commerce expired, and he was no longer a guest refiner of Baiquan Chamber of Commerce.
Wu Tao joined Qingshan Sect and became a guest refiner of Qingshan Sect. Qingshan Sect is a Jindan sect, and joining Qingshan Sect can help him cultivate better.
But the good times did not last long. After only five years of cultivation, Wu Tao broke through the seventh level of foundation-building. Qingshan Sect started a war with several Jindan sects. Seeing this, Wu Tao fled directly.
This war lasted for 10 years. Qingshan Sect unexpectedly won the victory and annexed two Jindan sects.
After hearing the news, Wu Tao returned to Qingshan Sect and became a guest weapon refiner of Qingshan Sect.
Several elders of Qingshan Sect had opinions about Wu Tao's return to Qingshan Sect, but the leader of Qingshan Sect overcame all objections and allowed Wu Tao to return to Qingshan Sect.
Wu Tao admired the leader of Qingshan Sect very much, and then he practiced weapon refinement in Qingshan Sect steadily.
Another 10 years passed, Wu Tao practiced to the foundation building, and was ready to form a golden elixir. At this time, Qingshan Sect, led by the Yuanying Sect Tianying Sect, started a battle with the Yuanying Demon Sect.
The war between the two sides was not good for Wu Tao to form a golden elixir, so Wu Tao quietly left Qingshan Sect and went to a place without fighting to prepare for the formation of a golden elixir.
Wu Tao waited for the opportunity of the golden elixir to come during the process of forming a golden elixir, and also joined a chamber of commerce in the middle, which was a golden elixir chamber of commerce.
In this chamber of commerce, Wu Tao finally succeeded in forming a golden elixir after 12 years.
After forming the golden elixir, Wu Tao did not leave the Chamber of Commerce immediately, but inquired whether the war in Qingshan Sect had ended. After inquiring, he found that the leader of Qingshan Sect had actually broken through the Nascent Soul Stage and wiped out the demonic Nascent Soul Sect together with Tianying Sect.
Seeing that the Chamber of Commerce was in a worse and worse situation and had to face the siege of other Chambers of Commerce, Wu Tao quietly left the Chamber of Commerce and returned to Qingshan Sect.
Seeing that Wu Tao ran away during the war, and after the war, Qingshan Sect became a Nascent Soul Sect, and came back to enjoy the results of the war, the original foundation-building elders of Qingshan Sect were so angry that they firmly disagreed with Wu Tao returning to Qingshan Sect as a guest official.
But when the leader of Qingshan Sect, the Nascent Soul True Lord, appeared, he sensed that Wu Tao had broken through the golden elixir. Wu Tao said that he went out to form the golden elixir, and he would return to Qingshan Sect as soon as he formed the golden elixir, and he would live and die with Qingshan Sect.
There were too few Jindan cultivators in Qingshan Sect, only the Great Elder was one, so when Wu Tao showed his Jindan cultivation, the foundation building elders instantly shut up.
So with the approval of the leader of Qingshan Sect, Wu Tao became the weapon refiner of Qingshan Sect again, and because he was the second Jindan cultivator in the sect, he was allowed to take charge of the weapon refinery hall of Qingshan Sect and became the head of the Qingshan Sect weapon refinery hall.
So Wu Tao took charge of the Qingshan Sect weapon refinery hall, and in the next three years he was promoted to a third-level weapon refiner, which made the leader of Qingshan Sect very happy.
Time flew quickly, Wu Tao stayed in Qingshan Sect for another sixty years, and Wu Tao's cultivation had reached the late Jindan stage. And the leader of Qingshan Sect also cultivated very fast, and actually reached the middle stage of Yuanying.
The Tianying Sect, which had led the leader of Qingshan Sect before, saw that the leader of Qingshan Sect was getting higher and higher in cultivation, and was afraid that Qingshan Sect would bring threats, so undercurrents surged, and the friction between Qingshan Sect and Tianying Sect increased.
Wu Tao felt bad when he saw this, so he told the leader of Qingshan Sect that he was going outside to prepare a batch of spiritual materials for refining warships, and then he left and never came back.
The foundation-building elders of Qingshan Sect were so angry about Wu Tao's escape that they said bad things about Wu Tao in front of the leader of Qingshan Sect, saying that if Wu Tao wanted to return to Qingshan Sect, he must not be allowed to come back.
The leader of Qingshan Sect did not say anything.
Wu Tao was called the immortal who escaped after his escape.
In the third year after Wu Tao's escape, Qingshan Sect and Tianying Sect broke up completely, and the contradictions between the two sects escalated and began to go to war.
The war between Yuanying Sects started with ten years, and it was impossible to end so quickly. The leader of Tianying Sect was also in the middle stage of Yuanying, and there was another one in the early stage of Yuanying, but the leader of Qingshan Sect, the newly promoted middle stage of Yuanying, was not afraid of the siege of the two Yuanyings of Tianying Sect.
The war lasted for 15 years, and the vitality of the two sects was seriously damaged, so they temporarily stopped fighting.
But after only 10 years of truce, the two sects resumed the war.
This war lasted until the third year, when the leader of Qingshan Sect broke through the seventh level of Nascent Soul. He hid his cultivation and fought with the leader of Tianying Sect and the one in the early stage of Nascent Soul of Tianying Sect.
At this time, the fleeing immortal Wu Tao suddenly returned. He had broken through the Nascent Soul stage and helped the leader of Qingshan Sect to contain the one in the early stage of Nascent Soul of Tianying Sect, allowing the leader of Qingshan Sect to kill the leader of Tianying Sect. Later, the two of them killed the one in the early stage of Nascent Soul of Tianying Sect together.
Qingshan Sect annexed Tianying Sect and its power grew stronger.
Wu Tao returned to Qingshan Sect. Because he showed his cultivation in the early stage of Nascent Soul and contributed a lot to killing the Nascent Soul of Tianying Sect, Wu Tao took over the Qingshan Sect Refining Hall again.
