This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Chapter 113 The Dragon Elephant Technique Soars, the Ten Ancestors' Dharma Forms Appear
Yun Qingzi is gone...

They came and went in a hurry, but Zhong Bai and Zhang Zhiwei smiled; they had gained a lot.

Inside Chongyang Palace.

Master Changming awaited the arrival of his master. When Yun Qingzi arrived with a relaxed smile, Master Changming knew that it was a success.

"Master!"

Looking at Changming Zhenren, Yun Qingzi smiled faintly, then his smile disappeared and he said with a complicated expression: "Changming, I have done what I can. The Quanzhen Sect should be able to maintain its status for the next two or three hundred years. However, relying on others is not a long-term solution. Even if Maoshan in Longhu Mountain can take care of things for a while, they can't always take care of us."

Starting tomorrow, some disciples will be sent down the mountain to various parts of Shaanxi to guard different areas. The purpose is not only to maintain local stability but also to have them recruit disciples. If they have good talent, they will be sent to Zhongnan Mountain. This old Daoist refuses to believe that our Quanzhen Sect cannot produce a Golden Core cultivator..."

The Quanzhen School and Maoshan and Longhushan are different. In the past, the Quanzhen School would allow its disciples to travel down the mountain but would not stay in one place for a long time.

The advantage of this is that the disciples have more freedom, but the disadvantage is that the reputation of the Quanzhen School among the people in Shaanxi is not very good, so its influence among the people is too low.

Those who were willing to become disciples of the Quanzhen School were mostly from impoverished families who could not make a living.

In addition, the Quanzhen School's abstinence from meat and sexual activity naturally led to a decrease in the number of disciples seeking to become its followers.

The rules of the sect cannot be changed arbitrarily, but the disciples are different, and Yun Qingzi and Changming Zhenren can arrange them as they please.

Upon hearing his master say this, Master Changming pondered for a moment and then agreed.

“Master, it seems you also understand the problem of our Quanzhen Sect. In recent years, we have been too peaceful, to the point that everyone has lost their ambition.”

However, this arrangement...

"Which disciples need to go down the mountain, and which don't? We need to come up with a plan for this."

With a bright smile, Yun Qingzi's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "That's simple. All Quanzhen Sect disciples, aged 20 to 30, will participate in a grand competition. The top ten disciples can continue to travel the world, while the rest will be stationed in various places."

Disciples over thirty years of age are all stationed in their respective areas and are not allowed to return to the mountain until they have reached the Qi Refining stage and need to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage!

Hearing his master's arrangements, Changming Zhenren made up his mind.

"Yes, Master, I will make the arrangements immediately."

Watching the departing Changming Zhenren, Yun Qingzi exhaled a breath of turbid air. His eyes became cloudy, just like the future of the Quanzhen Sect, unsure of where it would go.

......................................................

Night falls.

In Zhongbai Garden, Zhongbai's heart was pounding as he looked at the gourd in his hand. It contained the essence blood of the Golden Core Demon King!
"The Quanzhen Sect is truly generous. However, their disciples probably won't need the Demon King's essence blood. It might be more useful for me."

Shaking his head, Zhong Bai banished the thoughts from his mind before taking a deep breath and preparing to improve his Shangqing Dragon Elephant Technique!
[Consume 12580 Demon Extermination Points to exchange for 12580 days of cultivation time for the Shangqing Dragon Elephant Technique]

When a full 12,580 demon-slaying points were poured in, Zhong Bai's body tensed up instantly.

[On the 111th day, having obtained the Demon King's essence blood, your Dragon Elephant Technique has improved rapidly.]

[On the 1111th day, the power within you has reached the level of the Four Symbols.]

[On the 3333rd day, the Demon King's essence blood has increased your power once again, reaching the level of Six Symbols Might.]

[On the 6666th day, you have consumed most of the Demon King's essence blood, and the power within your body has surged to the level of the Nine Elephants.]

[On the 9999th day, having exhausted the Demon King's essence blood, your power has reached the strength of ten elephants, that is, the strength of one dragon. The first level of the Upper Clarity Dragon Elephant Technique has been completed!]

[Day 12580, Demon Extermination Points exhausted, no more monster blood essence, your internal energy and strength are increasing slowly]

Zhong Bai never expected that the small gourd, which he thought would contain little demon king blood essence, would contain a hidden world. The almost full pool of demon king blood essence opened up a whole new world for Zhong Bai.

The surge of power caused Zhong Bai's blood and qi to spread uncontrollably in all directions. The entire garden was originally made of wood, and now, with the surge of blood and qi, even though Zhong Bai did not use his divine soul as a catalyst to ignite the Samadhi True Fire, the entire garden was directly ignited by the terrifying blood and qi!

In an instant, flames soared into the sky, while Zhong Bai continued his cultivation amidst the sea of ​​fire.

Ordinary fires could not possibly have any effect on him. Not to mention that the surrounding qi and blood qi would separate the flames, the yin-yang water and fire robe on his body would not allow Zhong Bai to be disturbed by the flames.

However... just because Zhong Bai himself was fine did not mean that the Quanzhen Sect was alright. When the Ya Yuan was engulfed by the fire, flames shot into the sky, and blood and qi surged out for dozens of meters, forming a scarlet mist. This scene was first noticed by Zhang Zhiwei, who lived not far away.

As Zhang Zhiwei rushed out the door, he witnessed a scene that shocked him.

The intense heat of those flames made it difficult for him to get close.

"Fellow Daoist Qianhe?"

Zhang Zhiwei called out urgently, but Zhong Bai was not going to respond at all. Seeing that no one answered for a long time, Zhang Zhiwei disregarded everything else, his body glowing with golden light, and decided to enter the fire to find out what was going on.

Before Zhang Zhiwei could even get close to the elegant garden, the scarlet blood mist began to erode his protective golden light. Seeing this, Zhang Zhiwei could only smile bitterly and retreat quickly.

Just then, within Zhong Bai's Qiankun Ring, a divine soul of one of the Ten Ancestors of Maoshan Underworld suddenly awakened. Feeling the intense heat in the space and looking at Zhong Bai outside who was rapidly improving his physical body, the Ten Ancestors of Maoshan Underworld were utterly astonished.

"I fucking!"

Even the ten patriarchs of Maoshan Underworld didn't care about the barbed words in their words. They were genuinely surprised by Zhong Bai. Last time, when Zhong Bai used the essence blood of demon generals to enhance his physical strength, the ten patriarchs of Maoshan did not awaken or pay attention. But now, they were truly shocked by Zhong Bai's big move.

"You brat, this is the Quanzhen Sect, not Maoshan. You've got some nerve..."

Shaking his head, the Tenth Patriarch was quite helpless. Zhong Bai was too reckless. He dared to make such a big breakthrough even when he wasn't at Maoshan. Did he really think that the Quanzhen Sect wouldn't cause trouble in secret?
"Fine, I'll see just how far you can go, brat..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the wisp of the divine soul of the Tenth Patriarch of Maoshan quickly left the Qiankun Ring.

When this wisp of the divine soul of the Tenth Patriarch of Maoshan arrived in the void, in an instant, a thousand-foot-tall Dharma image condensed behind Zhong Bai!

Although the Dharma form transformed from the divine soul of the Tenth Patriarch of Maoshan was not very solid, after all, it did not come from the underworld in its original form, the shock it brought was still unimaginable. Especially in Zhang Zhiwei's eyes, the sky-covering Dharma form condensed on Zhong Bai's body. With just one glance, Zhang Zhiwei felt a sense of oppression from the magnificent Dharma form before him, as vast as heaven and earth!

The appearance of the images of the Ten Patriarchs of Maoshan caused an uproar throughout the Quanzhen School, especially among Yun Qingzi, who was in a period of quiet cultivation.

It was like he instantly lost his temper!

Before reaching the Golden Core stage, looking at the thousand-foot-tall Dharma image in the void felt like being in the heavens and earth. But only when one reaches Yun Qingzi's level does one understand the meaning that the Dharma image represents. It is an existence that only a Nascent Soul Ancestor can possess.

Countless disciples and elders of the Quanzhen Sect gathered near Zhongbai Garden to watch the raging sea of ​​fire and the crimson mist. They were utterly shocked.

Even after Yun Qingzi arrived, the Dharma images of the Ten Ancestors of Maoshan in the void did not utter a single word, yet a single sentence clearly appeared in everyone's minds: "I am the Ten Ancestors of Maoshan Underworld. My disciple is breaking through to protect me. You must not approach and disturb me!"

Upon hearing the voice in their minds, the Quanzhen Sect elders, who had originally intended to use their divine sense to investigate the situation in the sea of ​​fire, immediately abandoned the idea.

Looking intently at the thousand-foot-tall Dharma image in the void, Yun Qingzi felt a touch of melancholy, but even more so, a burning passion.

Apart from their first patriarch, Master Chongyang, who reached the level of Nascent Soul, no other patriarch in the Quanzhen School has achieved such a high level of accomplishment.

There's no way around it; in terms of foundation and heritage, the Quanzhen Sect can't compare to Longhu Mountain, Maoshan Mountain, or even Gezao Mountain.

This was the first time Yun Qingzi had ever been so close to a Nascent Soul expert... The Ten Ancestors of Maoshan Underworld—one can imagine that behind this title lies the fact that there are nine people ahead of him!
Yun Qingzi dared not think about it, while Zhong Bai, in the sea of ​​fire, was unaware that he was being watched by everyone.

At this moment, Zhong Bai felt an increasingly intense heat throughout his body, caused by the rapid surge of qi and blood within him.

In addition, Zhong Bai's bones and tendons were constantly being strengthened, and his internal organs were also greatly improved.

Boom!

Boom!

The powerful heartbeat brought Zhong Bai to his senses for a moment, making him realize that he had too much blood and qi. Using his soul as a guide, Zhong Bai instantly ignited his blood and qi, which transformed into Samadhi True Fire and exploded with a bang!

The Quanzhen disciples who were close by felt a surge of intense heat, but the next second all the Samadhi Fire was extinguished by the Dharma Image in the void with a flick of its finger.

Knowing that Zhong Bai's breakthrough was nearing its end and there would be no further problems, the Ten Patriarchs of Maoshan dispersed their thousand-foot-long Dharma forms, and this wisp of their divine soul returned to the ancestral tablet in Zhong Bai's Qiankun Ring.

"Cough cough..."

The flames disappeared, and there was nothing around Zhong Bai. Everything had been turned into nothingness by the last Samadhi Fire. Only his Yin-Yang Water and Fire Robe remained intact; otherwise, Zhong Bai would have made a fool of himself.

With a few light coughs, Zhong Bai coughed up a mouthful of blood, a kind of hidden injury that had accumulated over time, though it was barely noticeable.

However, this enhancement from the Shangqing Dragon Elephant Technique strengthened his physical body from head to toe, and even his hidden injuries were healed.

"Fellow Daoist Qianhe!"

After Zhong Bai got up, he saw Zhang Zhiwei come over first, her eyes filled with worry.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, I'm fine. I just broke through a bottleneck in my cultivation."

Just one thing made Zhang Zhiwei's initial worries vanish without a trace, replaced by a deep resentment.

"That's all... Sigh, Fellow Daoist Qianhe is too discouraging!"

After exchanging a few casual words, Zhang Zhiwei brought up the Ten Patriarchs of Maoshan.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Fellow Daoist Qianhe is quite the hidden talent!"

? ? ? ?
Zhong Bai looked puzzled. How could he be hiding his true abilities? Hadn't he just broken through to the Shangqing Dragon Elephant Technique in front of everyone?
At this moment, Zhang Zhiwei said quietly, "Fellow Daoist Qianhe, I didn't expect that you would have the protection of the Ten Ancestors of Maoshan while you were away from home!"

Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but the Dharma Form of Heaven and Earth that the Ten Patriarchs of Maoshan just displayed was a thousand feet tall. Tsk tsk tsk, the entire Quanzhen Sect was shocked by this scene. With your profound and unassuming nature, you will have nothing to fear wherever you go in the future.

Above the Nascent Soul stage!

Zhang Zhiwei almost drooled. In all honesty, although he, Zhang Zhiwei, was quite talented, he was not at the level where he needed the patriarch to protect him. His master had only left a wisp of divine consciousness in his body to keep track of his safety at all times.

Compared to Zhong Bai's impressive lineup of protectors, Zhang Zhiwei felt the difference was like heaven and earth.

Zhong Bai was completely bewildered.

What Ten Ancestors? He really had no idea. With a puzzled look, he looked at the other elders and disciples of the Quanzhen Sect. Zhong Bai found that they were all looking at him with a shocked expression.

"Forehead……"

Before Zhong Bai could speak, the voices of the Ten Patriarchs of Maoshan echoed in his mind.

"Don't be confused, I am in the ancestral tablet in your Qiankun Ring."

What they said is true.

You dare to break through so casually, kid? Aren't you really afraid that the Quanzhen Sect will secretly sabotage you...?

Hearing the voice in his mind, Zhong Bai calmed himself down and smiled helplessly.

Okay, Zhang Zhiwei is telling the truth, but Zhong Bai just feels immense pressure.

Being protected by a patriarch who is at least at the Nascent Soul stage is too oppressive.
