The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 213: Fighting for the throne (End of this volume)

The sea and sky are the same color, with vast expanse of blue waves.

A mournful bird took off from the forest near the shore, then seemed to have lost its direction and strength, and slowly fell to the ground.

Looking at the surrounding area, there was no wind and no waves in the formation.

Gu Laoquan closed his eyes, holding the battle flag in one hand and pressing the demon pill with the other. A sinister smile appeared on his skinny face, his white beard and hair fluttered, and a surging aura surged from the demon pill, as if it could calm the storm and calm everything.

Lin Bai and Gu Yao stood on both sides. They looked at each other, both with confused expressions.

Although I knew from the beginning of this trip that I was heading for Jiuyin Mountain, I didn't expect that I was heading straight for Yuanying.

Now that Lu Haike has entered the battle, Gu Qingshui came out at the right time, obviously wanting to have a fight to see who is stronger.

The battle between Nascent Souls is no small matter. Lin Bai and Gu Yao are only at the initial stage of building the foundation, while Gu Laoquan is a Golden Core who is about to die of old age. He will be reduced to ashes if he is affected at the slightest.

Although there is the help of formations, it is not possible to trouble the Nascent Soul with a hastily set up formation.

"Now the ancestor and Lu Haike have both entered the Chengyu Pingbo formation. But the ancestor also practices water magic. If he enters the formation now, wouldn't he be tying his own hands and feet?" Gu Yao no longer cared about life or death, but only about winning or losing this battle.

"How do you know that Lu Haike and Xiaoshui both practice water magic? Have you seen him in action?" asked Gu Laoquan.

"This..." Gu Yao was stunned. "Everyone says so. His name contains the word 'sea' and he lives on an island, so he must be very familiar with water methods."

"How can you see through Yuanying?" Gu Laoquan smiled coldly and whispered: "His name is Haike, but he is not the one who practices the method of waves and water waves. Hai is not the master, Ke is the master."

"Take the initiative?" Gu Yao scratched her head, feeling confused.

Lin Bai just listened quietly, not daring to interrupt, but his heart was surging.

After the turmoil in the Cang Yun Sect, Aunt Gu was persuaded by the fox and Old Ancestor Yang, and then she lay dormant and acted in secret.

Now Gu Laoquan was setting up the formation by the sea, and Gu Qingshui somehow coaxed Lu Haike out of Jiuyin Mountain and then entered the formation.

Obviously, the Gu family has many plans, one after another. And there must be a backup plan!

Gu Qingshui had just reached the Nascent Soul stage. Even though he was good at fighting, he was ultimately no match for Lu Haike, who was in the middle Nascent Soul stage.

If there is no one to help, even with the Chengyu Pingbo formation, Gu Qingshui would be unable to handle it alone, and at most Lu Haike would suffer a small loss.

But Lin Bai was also close to Aunt Gu, and had been squeezed dry several times, so he knew her temper. Given the temperament of this young ancestor, he would be angry if he didn't bite off a piece of Lu Haike.

But this place is across the sea from Jiuyin Mountain. Although Lu Haike is trapped in the battle, it is still the territory of Jiuyin Mountain after all, and reinforcements will arrive soon.

Any one of the three Yuanyings of Jiuyin Mountain can turn the tide of the battle. If Yin Wuqing comes in person, I'm afraid Aunt Gu won't be able to escape.

"What is Elder Gu's back-up plan? She took away a lot of the blinding talismans and almost squeezed me dry. Who on earth did she get to help me?"

"She seems to have a good relationship with the fox, but the fox has a promise not to participate in the fight between the three factions."

“Is it the ancestor of the Yang family? Or the ancestor of the Cheng family? Or is it someone from the Yunxia Sect? Could it be that Gu Qingshan’s legacy invited that celestial being Chen Zhiyuan?”

"But even if we invite a helper, it will probably be useless. Either Chen Tianren comes in person, or we ask the ancestor to help. Otherwise, Aunt Gu will probably work in vain."

"Don't lose your wife and your troops."

Lin Bai quickly looked around. He had become familiar with the area over the past few days and had already prepared more than a dozen plans for escape.

However, he possessed the unique skill of Star Escape, so it was easy for him to defeat a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even if he encountered a Golden Core cultivator, he could probably escape. But against a Nascent Soul cultivator...

"The life span of a Yuanying is two thousand years. If you want to plan something, you need to plan for at least ten or a hundred years, or at most a thousand years. But Aunt Gu did it as soon as she said it. It's only been a few days? The child hasn't even been weaned yet! No one is as patient as Miaomiao!"

"The Gu family has always been unreliable. I hope Aunt Gu can be more reliable this time. Otherwise, I will have to escape in embarrassment again."

Before the battle even started, Lin Bai wanted to run away. He glanced at Gu Yao, thinking that he could take as many people as possible with him.

Looking up, I saw the sky was clear blue and Gu Qingshui was wearing a green robe, standing on the clouds. She was surrounded by mist and looked like a fairy.

Lu Haike was also standing in the sky a mile away. He was wearing a gray robe, his hair was black and white, and his face was solemn. He neither attacked nor ran away.

Lu Haike didn't even look at Qingshui. He just glanced around, then closed his eyes and counted on his fingers, as if he was calculating something.

When one reaches the Nascent Soul stage, most people understand some methods of deduction, the difference is just a matter of whether they are precise or not.

Moreover, the higher the realm, the deeper the connection between oneself and the world, and the more sensitive one becomes to one's own affairs.

Moreover, the Nascent Soul has a long lifespan and most of them have learned some forbidden techniques and secret arts, so it is difficult for the Nascent Soul to die.

Gu Qingshui originally wanted to say a few polite words, but seeing that Lu Haike had his eyes closed and was actually looking down on him, he ignored it and turned into an arrow of green water, heading towards Lu Haike.

"How can a trickle in a mountain stream know the mighty waves in the ocean?" Lu Haike opened his eyes and said with disdain. Instead, he rushed forward and slapped out with his palm, creating a huge wave.

Gu Qingshui was submerged in the huge waves, and then flew out of the waves without any damage, and his desire to fight back became stronger.

"Junior Sister Gu, where are your reinforcements? Please come out!" Lu Haike's beard fluttered and his words were quite heroic.

As they were speaking, a mysterious light came from the north and a yellow light came from the east.

"Senior Brother Cheng! Junior Brother Yang!" Lu Haike's face finally showed seriousness.

The ancestors of the Cheng family and the Yang family are here too! Lin Bai feels that Aunt Gu is not that unreliable. At least she was able to invite her fellow disciples to come. But she doesn't know what price she promised.

Lu Haike was surrounded by three people. He took out a tattered wooden boat the size of his head and held it in his left hand, while making a gesture with his right hand.

The three Yuanyings of Qiaoshan didn't say anything more and went straight to the stage.

Patriarch Cheng held a feather fan, Patriarch Yang held something like a ruler, and Gu Qingshui's body turned into clear water, flowing endlessly.

Lu Haike used his magical powers one after another. He first hid himself, then stirred up waves, and rolled up the world.

It was unknown what kind of treasure the broken boat in his hand was. Not only could it block the attack, but it could also take advantage of the situation and redirect the attack elsewhere.

The three primordial infants kept attacking, and Lu Haike, with the help of the power of the broken ship, was able to turn disasters into blessings every time. Although he was in a mess and struggling in the fierce storm of the three primordial infants, he never fell.

He is like a small boat sailing in the stormy sea, moving with the waves, but never capsizing.

"Lu Haike's body is like a floating boat. Not only is he not afraid of wind and waves, but he can take advantage of the wind and waves. The Chengyu Pingbo formation is designed to restrain his magical powers!" Lin Bai said.

"It can only be reduced slightly." Gu Laoquan sighed, "In fact, the wind and waves are too small. If the ancestor came in person, his broken boat would have been overturned long ago. How could he take advantage of the situation?"

Gu Laoquan kept complaining to himself, "Ancestor Cheng is the oldest, but his cultivation is not that good. Ancestor Yang is in the middle stage, but he is a monkey. Our Xiaoshui just formed a Nascent Soul, and he is so straightforward..." He didn't have many days to live, and there was no respect for the Nascent Soul in his words, and he even spoke in a sarcastic way to his own family.

"Ancestor, do you have any backup plan?" Gu Yao looked for a long time and felt that his side could win, but if it dragged on for too long, the other side might send reinforcements.

"How should I know? I'm dying, Xiaoshui thinks I'm being long-winded and doesn't want to talk to me more."

Gu Laoquan sighed and said, "Good children, you should watch carefully. If you can see a little, it is good. If you can understand a little, it is good."

He looked up, his eyes were not cloudy, but full of enthusiasm. "Nascent Soul Fighting is not just playing house. I have lived for more than 500 years and have only seen it twice. You all watch carefully and see if I, Old Gu, can also join the ranks of Nascent Soul Fighting!"

His voice became louder and louder, his hair and beard fluttered, his robes fluttered, and the demon pill in his hand became brighter.

Lin Bai and Gu Yao were very obedient and looked up and watched from a distance.

The place where the Nascent Souls were fighting was not far away, but due to the limitations of my realm and vision, I could only watch the excitement.

Lin Bai no longer looked closely at the magic skills, but instead tried to feel the true meaning behind them.

After achieving the Nascent Soul stage, one can use the Dao to cultivate oneself, and then achieve the Dao.

After careful observation, the battle seemed to be endless, and the meaning of turning back and forth was caused by Lu Haike. There was another true meaning, which seemed to be able to separate the inside and the outside, and clearly distinguish between yin and yang.

Although Aunt Gu was powerful, she was inferior to the surging waves. Even though Old Ancestor Cheng fought the hardest, he was only half as strong as Aunt Gu.

However, Lu Haike only used 50% of his strength against Gu Cheng and the others, and the other 50% was all on Old Ancestor Yang.

At first glance, Gu Qingshui's attack was the most ferocious, and his surging water seemed to be about to crush the earth; while the Cheng family's ancestor was the oldest and the most hardworking; but ancestor Yang did not seem to be using his full strength, and was only supporting from the side, attacking with a palm from time to time.

Lu Haike gradually showed signs of exhaustion, and became increasingly weak. The broken boat in his hand became even more shabby, and its light dimmed, like an ordinary object.

After a while, the effectiveness of the formation became more and more apparent. Lu Haike became more and more exhausted. He didn't know who had ambushed him and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He looked back in the direction of Jiuyin Mountain, but saw no reinforcements coming. There were only a few Jindan on the water watching from afar, and they were also extremely frightened.

"Haha! Xiang Wuhui is not here, and you guys actually resorted to sneak attacks!" Lu Haike's chest was stained with blood, and his face showed a crazy look. "I, Lu Haike, will remember today's grudge! Someday, I will repay you double!"

After saying this, he pointed with his right hand at the broken boat in his left hand and said, "I'm leaving now!"

As he spoke, a faint white light appeared on Lu Haike's body, and the broken ship also emitted a dazzling light.

"He wants to escape by borrowing the boat!" Patriarch Yang spoke immediately and swung the ruler in his hand.

Gu Qingshui and Cheng Laozu also immediately displayed their magical powers.

"The Jedi Heavenly Passage is broken!"

A distant voice came from afar, and the sky and the earth suddenly changed color.

The originally blue sea seemed to be boiling. All tools were useless, as if all magical powers had disappeared.

The light on Lu Haike's body faded, and the broken boat lost its luster.

He stared blankly toward the west, and saw a dark cloud peak coming towards him.

In the blink of an eye, a man with black hair and black clothes appeared, with his left hand behind his back. There was no sadness or joy on his face. He did not look at Lu Haike, nor did he look at Qingshui and others. He just looked into the depths of the boundless sea.

Lin Bai looked up, feeling dry mouth and tongue. After a quick check, he found that his Qi Sea was sealed, and his connection with the stars was cut off, so he could not use his Star Escape Skill.

"Who is this person..." This was the first time that Lin Bai saw a Nascent Soul fight. He thought it would be a head-on fight like Aunt Gu, or a fight that borrowed the power of the Great Dao like Old Ancestor Yang and Lu Haike.

But now that this man has appeared, I know what a high mountain is.

"Xiang Wuhui!" There was a look of fear on Lu Haike's face. He had never lost his composure like this even when he fought with the Three Yuanyings before.

"Gu Qingshui, you are outnumbering us and bullying the minority! Xiang Wuhui, you are bullying me because I am seriously injured! If I were intact, you might not be able to... capture me!" Lu Haike gritted his teeth.

His words sounded tough, but in fact they were very soft. They hadn't even captured him yet!

"Shouldn't it be: If I were in good health, you might not be able to defeat me? Why does he say he might not be able to capture me? Is he so soft?" Gu Yao asked Lin Bai in a low voice.

"..." Lin Bai was too lazy to pay attention to her and just watched the show.

Seeing that Xiang Wuhui was determined to attack, Lu Haike crushed the broken boat in his hand and spat out a mouthful of blood. He then turned around and ran away at an incredible speed.

He didn't dare to fight and only wanted to escape, and he was extremely determined.

Gu Qingshui chased after him, but was still unable to catch up.

"Now that I'm here, how can I let you get away?"

Xiang Wuhui did not chase him. He just took out a ring, pointed his right hand at the ring, and then threw it out.

The circle seemed to cover the sky and the earth, changing the yin and yang and the five elements. It immediately caught up with Lu Haike, covered him, and cut off his chance of traveling.

Lu Haike looked horrified and slowed down his escape speed.

There is no escape.

Lu Haike gritted his teeth, his hair and beard turned pale and dry, and Yin fire surged from his flesh and blood.

"Xiang Wuhui! Do you really think you are the best among the three sects?"

Lu Haike was extremely crazy, "Look, I use my body as a boat! I use my life to break the waves!"

As he spoke, the shadow of a huge wave appeared behind Lu Haike, with a small boat swaying in the middle.

Gu Qingshui was cautious, holding a jade bottle in front of him. The Cheng family's ancestor looked very unhappy, perhaps because he was too old and exerted too much strength.

Only the ancestor of the Yang family was quite indifferent, as if he didn't take Lu Haike seriously and just looked at Xiang Wuhui.

Lu Haike's aura continued to rise, and his Nascent Soul's pressure was like waves. The sea was forced back, and the wind and sand were blowing on the shore.

Lin Bai and Gu Yao could only lie prone on the ground. Gu Laoquan also stopped controlling the formation and lay down on the ground as well.

"Remember, you two must tell Xiaoshui not to go against Grandmaster Xiang." Gu Laoquan did not forget to teach the two younger generations, and said, "See, even if they are forced into a desperate situation, those who can achieve the Nascent Soul stage, who doesn't have ten or eight secret methods in their hands? Lu Haike has it, and Grandmaster Xiang must have it too."

As expected, Yin Fire burned on Lu Haike's body, his flesh and blood were charred, and his eyes were red. He was like a boat in the wind and waves, heading towards nowhere to return, trying to risk his life to reach the shore.

Xiang Wuhui did not dodge, but stretched the ring in his hand forward slightly, and a shadow of the ring appeared behind him, "Separating dusk and dawn."

For a moment, the sky and the earth changed color again. The ring seemed to have an endless return, connecting all things and neutralizing all attacks.

Lu Haike's momentum immediately stopped, like a fast and light flying boat encountering a mid-stream attack.

The Yin Fire in his body slowly died down and he could no longer use his secret technique.

The green waves were like arrows, cutting through the sky and heading towards Lu Haike.

In just a blink of an eye, the green water arrow pierced through Lu Haike's body, then stopped, revealing Gu Qingshui's figure.

"You are only one step away..." Lu Haike didn't look at Qingshui, but stared at Xiang Wuhui. His chest was pierced, but he was not dead yet. There was no more madness in his eyes, but relief.

"I believe that going with the flow, moving the body and calming the mind is the theory of alchemy. However, I have violated the original intention of the theory of alchemy and tried to change fate. This day has come."

Lu Haike's grey robe was torn, and his white hair fluttered in the wind and fell from the sky.

He looked up at the sky and stretched out his hand, as if trying to grab something. I don't know if it was because he had some regrets or something else on his mind.

"Xiang Wuhui, if you ever achieve enlightenment, please remember to tell me..." Lu Haike was like a wooden boat broken apart by huge waves, and was swept into the endless sea.

For a moment, no one in the Nascent Soul stage spoke, and even the waves stopped making any sound.

Xiang Wuhui looked back at the Jiuyin Mountain Island across the sea.

A cloud flew over from the south, then slowly left, as if returning home after its excitement had worn off.

"After a thousand twists and turns, I still don't know the truth. Time has passed by and has become dust."

Xiang Wuhui lowered his head and looked at the remains of Lu Haike. "It is so difficult to attain the Great Dao. Brother Lu thinks too highly of me."

His voice was cold and he did not have the excitement of having killed a Nascent Soul, nor the enthusiasm of having avenged a grudge.

Instead, it seems that I am helpless and powerless.

Xiang Wuhui said no more, his black robe fluttering, and he went straight back to Qiaoshan.
