Immortal Road.

Chapter 333 Star Stealer, Space Turbulence

Tens of thousands of miles away from here, away from the forbidden area of ​​the cliff, somewhere in the Star-Swallowing Mountains.

In a primeval forest.

It was dark outside.

A group of black-robed monks were fiddling with various large-scale cultivation instruments, such as altars, compasses, square tripods, round tables, copper pillars, etc., and were busy probing the underground.

Suddenly, a beam of azure light shot up into the sky not far away, followed by stars falling from the sky. The huge and strange phenomenon instantly attracted everyone's attention.

An old man in the Jindan stage who was sitting cross-legged on the ground in the crowd suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look over there.

Before he could make any move, the beam of light quickly absorbed the star power and disappeared.

"Ok?"

The old Jindan was in doubt and confusion, twirling his beard, not knowing what he was thinking.

The black-robed monks around them turned their heads left and right, then hurriedly lowered their heads to fiddle with the instruments to work. They didn't dare to be too lazy for fear of being discovered by the ancestor, otherwise they would be beaten and scolded again.

After a while, a startling rainbow flew over the sky.

Another Jindan stage cultivator flew over. He looked middle-aged, but his temples were already gray.

"Brother Hong, did you see what happened just now?"

The man came up and asked in a hurried tone.

The old man in the Jindan stage nodded, and the two seemed to be close friends.

"It's very likely that the old man was behind this. I don't know where he intercepted a large amount of star power from. It looks like Master Yuxing's secret treasure may be opened ahead of time."

"How is that possible? It shouldn't be that serious, right? There must be a huge amount of star power stored in Yuxing's secret treasure. What we just saw is nothing. It's not even a drizzle!"

"No, you're talking about the star power stored in Yuxing's secret collection, but I mean the star power that old man has at hand!"

"Hiss, what do you mean?"

The middle-aged Jindan seemed to understand something and glanced at a group of "technicians" who were surveying the scene.

The group of black-robed monks dared not answer or look up, and could only quietly carry out their own tasks.

The old man smiled proudly: "After decades of continuous exploration and research, these disciples have all been trained by me to become experts in stargazing and land surveying. No matter how hard that old thing hides, he can't escape the joint pursuit of so many people!"

The middle-aged Jindan hurriedly praised him, sparing no effort to say good things.

"That's right, I admire your perseverance, Brother Hong. Tracking Yuxing's secret treasure is all thanks to your efforts. I think no matter how hard the spirit of the Purple Star Ring hides, it can't escape your eyes!"

"Hehehe~"

The old Jindan man smiled and waved his hands, showing pride and modesty at the same time. Although this pretentious look was annoying, the middle-aged Jindan man did not dare to show it.

"The Purple Star Ring was the treasured treasure of True Lord Yuxing back then. It can communicate with the Purple Star Lord in the sky. He picked it up when he was young and helped him cultivate from a small figure to a giant in the world of cultivation!"

"You know, his innate talent is extremely poor, but he has a Ding-level spiritual root! According to common sense, this kind of talent can only be cultivated to the perfection of Qi training at most, and it is difficult to even break through the foundation-building stage!"

"But he did not practice the Five Elements Kung Fu, but instead practiced Star Power to transform himself. His progress was rapid, and he finally broke through the Nascent Soul Stage and became a True Lord!"

"All of this is inseparable from the help of the magical treasure, the Purple Star Ring!"

……

When the middle-aged Jindan man heard this, he couldn't suppress greed in his eyes. In order not to be discovered by the old Jindan man, he quickly lowered his head to cover it up.

"This kind of spiritual treasure should belong to Brother Hong. We will just follow you and drink some soup."

"Eh~"

The old Jindan master surnamed Hong knew that even though he had put in so much effort, he would not have the strength to seize the spiritual treasure without the support of the entire Swallowing Star Sect, so he was still quite sensible.

"What soup? Let's just eat the meat together. Don't make me suffer!"

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then they started talking about the spirit of the weapon, and they were both so angry that their teeth were itching.

"Three years ago, we had a chance to break into the True Lord's cave, but we were deceived by that weapon spirit and failed in the end. Damn it!"

"This old thing has been a weapon spirit for so many years, yet it actually wants to break away from the spirit treasure and transform into a human! It's really bold! From ancient times to now, I have never heard that a weapon spirit can transform into a human!"

"But, according to its theory, it sounds feasible. I feel like the chances of success are quite high."

"Don't be ridiculous! As the spirit of the Purple Star Ring, the prerequisite for it to possess a human body is that it must have a celestial body as its target. Where can we find a top genius with such a special spirit body?"

"Yes, the Zhoutian Star Body, this is a legendary powerful spiritual body, its characteristic is its powerful magic power, far exceeding that of cultivators of the same level. I have never heard of such a person appearing anywhere."

"Even if such a genius really came into the world, he would definitely become the core disciple of a large sect. How could we be able to deceive him?"

"This old guy has really given us a difficult problem. Next time, we must bring the Zhoutian Star Body to him for him to possess, so that he can open a backdoor for us. This is really wishful thinking. He is really crazy about changing his cultivation!"

The two cursed endlessly. It was obvious that they were badly tricked by the spirit of the Purple Star Ring the last time they entered. It seemed that it had left them some special tasks.
"It's a spirit, and it's a madman. You can't treat it as a human."

"Since it took the initiative to separate from the spiritual treasure body and wanted to be independent, the star power pool of Yuxing Cave Mansion could no longer be used. It could only rely on its own hard work to accumulate star power, so the cave mansion can only be opened once every sixty years."

"It's been three years since the last time. Logically, there are still fifty-seven years left. However, this time he has intercepted a batch of star power from somewhere. It is estimated that he can advance the time by a few years. We need to keep an eye on this place and not let down our guard."

"Don't worry, we will definitely eat it up completely this time and let it know the consequences of offending us!"

Having said that, the old Jindan master asked uncertainly about the question that he had been worried about for a long time.

"Besides us, have you heard in recent years whether there are other people who have also set their sights on Yuxing's secret treasure?"

After all, he had been tracking the cave of True Lord Yuxing and the spirit of the Zichen Star Ring, and was basically isolated from the outside world most of the time.

Jindan Zhongnian is in charge of the Star-Swallowing Gate all year round, so we usually have to rely on him to get information.

"As far as I know, although the secret treasure was revealed in the Star-Swallowing Mountains three years ago, it caused quite a stir and attracted the attention of many people in the magic world."

"Especially near the northwestern border of Jin State, there are many sects and independent people who, like us, have been exploring the Swallowing Star Mountains and relying on the mountains for their livelihood. Although not many people know about it, there are also some of our old enemies and allies with whom we have a good relationship, such as..."

Here, the middle-aged Jindan mentioned several sects and names.

Of course, the enemy among them must be the real enemy.

Allies with whom we have a relatively good relationship may become enemies at that time, which doesn’t make much sense anyway.

The Jindan elder surnamed Hong nodded and suddenly asked another question.

"Have you found out who the strange Jindan-stage cultivator who suddenly broke in with us last time was?"

The middle-aged Jindan sighed at this time, and his tone immediately became low.

"I actually found out about this. It's really amazing. You don't know until you check. Once you check, you'll be shocked. Guess what?"

The old man surnamed Hong was so nervous that he asked cautiously, "Could it be someone from a top sect?"

"."

The middle-aged Jindan was blocked for a moment. He didn't expect that the other party would guess it directly! He had no choice but to nod.

"You could say that we've finally run into a tough guy this time!"

The old Jindan master named Hong panicked now. He put his hands in his lap and started making circles with his thumbs.

"This is the end. There are so many top sects with masters that we, the Star Swallowing Sect, are no match for them. How can we fight them?"

The middle-aged Jindan changed the subject and quickly comforted him:
"Ahem. It's not as serious as you think. The other party is indeed a Jindan-stage guardian from a top-level demon sect, but he seems to be under the command of a young master named Jiuyou."

"Young Master Jiuyou?"

The old Jindan master surnamed Hong had never heard of this name before.

The middle-aged Jindan asked again: "Does the Jiuyou Sect know?"

The Jindan elder surnamed Hong passed the top demon sects in Jin State aside in his mind, but there was none.

Turning his head to look outside, he suddenly remembered, "Are you talking about the Nine Nether Sect, the top sect in Chu State that was attacked by many forces and destroyed decades ago?"

"That's right!"

Jin Danzhongnian explained in a deep voice and told him not to be happy too soon.

"Although the Jiuyou Sect has been destroyed, its young master fled to Jin State. Together with his four Jindan-stage guardians, they were taken in and sheltered by the Yuanmo Sect, one of the top sects in Jin State, half a century ago."

"It is rumored that the eldest brother of the younger generation of Yuan Mo Sect, Zi Chengqian, is a life-and-death friend of Young Master Jiuyou. He has been protecting Young Master Jiuyou for half a century despite external pressure. It was only in the last six months that we heard about Young Master Jiuyou's departure."

"Yu Xing's secret was accidentally discovered by his subordinate Wu Guardian last time. Young Master Jiuyou must have also learned this secret!"

"The next time the cave is opened by the weapon spirit, I think this young master will definitely come to intervene and try to get a piece of the action."

……

"Guardian Wu, Young Master Jiuyou?"

When the old Jindan man surnamed Hong heard the name, he could imagine how insidious and difficult the other party was, and the key was that he did not have the advantage in numbers.

At this time, Jindan Zhongnian broke another piece of news.

"It is said that about half a year ago, Jiuyou Young Master had a guardian named Qiu who died when he was on his way to the Confucian sect in Lu State. So he should have three Jindan-stage guardians under him."

"Whoo~"

The old Jindan-stage master surnamed Hong finally heaved a sigh of relief. In this case, it was not bad. The young master Jiuyou had no force behind him to support him. If one Jindan-stage guardian under his command died, it would be one less. So they still had a chance.

After all, I have been preparing for so long. By the time the next time Master Yuxing's cave is opened, my life span will probably be almost over. It seems I have to speed up the preparations.

……

The forbidden area on the cliff, the underground river, and the cave.

Young Master Jiuyou was bewildered.

At the critical moment, I am so unlucky that Boss Xingjun is going to leave me?

It was said to last a quarter of an hour, but it’s already broken after only half an hour. The battery life is not as good as promised!

I have sacrificed so much star power, and you let me down at the last minute?
Youying Star Lord said that it was not that he did not keep his word, but that you bastards who came out of nowhere in this world actually dared to intercept my star power. Don’t you know that this is a special supply from the Star Lord?

What surprised him most was that

Normally, summoning star god projections and sacrificing star power all go through the exclusive channel of "Star Sacrifice Technique", which ordinary people are completely unaware of.

Even though he had just become a Star Lord for a short time and did not have the ability to open up his own transmission channel to the lower realm, and was still using the public dedicated channels that were widely circulated in the heavens and all realms, it was not so easy to be cracked!

Only those who offer sacrifices year-round, frequently summon projections of the Star Gods, and are very familiar with this process would be able to quietly open up a public channel nearby and steal the star power that is transmitted from the lower realm to the upper realm by the Star Gods.

But for people like this, people in the upper realm generally don't look down on that little bit of star power, and people in the lower realm generally don't have that ability either.

Could it be that there really are "star thieves" in the nearby Star-Swallowing Mountains who specialize in stealing star power?

You Ying Xing Jun racked his brains but couldn't figure out that the person who stole his star power was not a human at all, but an ancient spirit. Judging from the method, it seemed like a habitual criminal.
Young Master Jiuyou felt the unstable magic power in his body and truly felt the sense of urgency!

Now he possesses the strength of a late Jindan, and is the undisputed number one in the field. However, if Big Boss Xingjun retires, he may not be able to compete with Zhong Shenxiu's Yama Dharma Image!
By then, I’ll have dealt with the man and woman on the opposite side.

Now that I am no longer strong enough, will Zhong Shenxiu still share the treasure with me?
How can it be!

Don’t be fooled by the fact that he calls his elder brother or younger brother sincerely on weekdays. When it comes to real action, “killing my brother” is not just talk, this kid is more ruthless than anyone else.

What's more, he is just a demon. If Zhong Shenxiu really has the ability to eliminate demons and defend the way of righteousness, he would have taken action long ago!

Being able to kill a young master of a demon sect with his own hands, not to mention taking away the spiritual treasures and life-long wealth on him, the political reputation alone would be enough for him to thrive in Bailu Academy and even in the Confucian cultivation world of Lu State.

So, take action now, there is no time to wait!

In the hands of Young Master Jiuyou, the barrel of the Black Demon Double Dragon Boring began to spin rapidly, and circles of demonic energy formed a whirlwind that enveloped it. The black light at the tip of the spear stretched out for seven feet, which made Lin Shan and Shui Bingyue feel nervous again.

Zhong Shenxiu was so smart that he immediately judged the current situation based on the fact that his luck had just been greatly reduced and the young master Jiuyou's fluctuating aura.

He quickly spoke out to stop her: "Brother, please stop, don't act on impulse!"

"Once the rules of this world have repaired the spatial cracks, these two will be like fish on the chopping board. We can kill or chop them up as we please. Going all out now may result in accidental injuries, which is absolutely not advisable!"

"I can guarantee that afterward, we two brothers will share the treasure equally and we will never do anything dirty."

……

"No need!"

The young master of Jiuyou shouted loudly!
Zhong Shenxiu saw that his eyes were red and his robes were fluttering, and it was obvious that he was going to risk everything.

If he dared to stop him, he might be pierced through!
The Star Gate device must not be lost!
This time, the young master Jiuyou personally went into battle with his own magical weapon in hand. He charged towards the opposite side without hesitation, vowing to take back what rightfully belonged to him.

Zhong Shenxiu was unwilling to fall behind, so he stepped on the mirage dragon and followed closely behind.

Lin Shan and Shui Bingyue on the opposite side were sweating as they saw the two brothers rushing towards them violently, blocking all their escape routes and ready to kill them completely, taking their lives and treasures.

"Tear it apart~"

For no apparent reason, a sharp sound of tearing cloth was heard among the four people.

A purple moon blade flashed by at the critical moment, tearing a gap of several feet in the void in front of him, revealing the desolate darkness and rapidly flashing silver light inside.

"Space turbulence!"

Behind the void are waves of space tides caused by the rotation of this world, also commonly known as space turbulence.

Those silvery-white streams of light were the broken fragments of space. No one dared to catch them with bare hands. Even if a magic weapon was hit by thousands of turbulent currents at high speed, it would be cut into pieces in an instant.

The Void Butterfly was in a state of low spirits at this moment. The purple light just now had consumed all the fluorescent powder on its wings, and it was even struggling to fly.

Young Master Jiuyou and Zhong Shenxiu had no time to react at this time, and had already crashed in with their own high-speed inertia.

"No!"

The two of them yelled frantically, trying to break free, but under the suction of the turbulent flow of space, they could only sink deeper and deeper.

"Since we can't have an easy time, you guys should come down too!"

Lin Shan and Shui Bingyue were experiencing great ups and downs, and were suddenly surprised by the move of the Void Butterfly.

But then Zhong Shenxiu, with the help of the power of Yama Dharmakāya, used the means of the Nascent Soul stage to mobilize and pull in the vital energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, instantly implicated the two of them.

With the cooperation of the vitality of heaven and earth in this world, the spatial turbulence can accept all the matter flying into the cave.

Falling rocks, broken stalactites, and water flowing in the pools all flew into the huge space cracks.

“Boom boom~whoosh whoosh~”

Lin Shan and Shui Bingyue took root under their feet, but their desperate attempts to delay were ultimately in vain. The enormous pressure put on them caused their wounds to burst and bleed.

In the end, he held on for a while, but his back was hit by countless rocks, and he fell into the space crack along with everything in the cave.

Not long after, the repair mechanism of this world was forcibly activated, and the mirror fracture healed slowly and firmly under the power of rules, and finally smoothed out and disappeared.

This cave, which once held magical milk that existed for thousands of years, became a ruin after a great war and gradually returned to its former tranquility.

The four people who were fighting have since disappeared.

Two hours later,
The infant demon of the Ming Snake Demon King carefully held the array plate of the "Inverted Five Elements Magnetic Array" and returned to the cave without giving up.

It wanted to go deep under the pool of water to see if there was any hidden thousand-year-old spiritual milk that it could pick up.

But when it saw the ruins, broken stalactites, bare rock walls, and empty puddles, it couldn't help but let out a heart-wrenching roar.

“No!!!~~~~”
