My whole clan is a master, I have become invincible by investing in my clan members

Then, Jiang Beiming slowly exhaled.

The black and white spiritual light also dissipated from his body.

He slowly opened his eyes.

There was still excitement in his eyes.

"Brother, I feel like... I can go faster!"

Jiang Beixuan smiled faintly, but did not rush to teach him the next move: "First, stabilize the foundation."

"The most taboo in the way of swordsmanship is rashness. The Yin-Yang Sword Intention is the gateway for you to enter this sutra. Only with a strong foundation can you rise to great heights."

Jiang Beiming nodded.

But the impatience in his eyes could not be concealed.

At this moment, Jiang Beixuan's voice sounded again:

"If you want to become a qualified swordsman, just being able to wield a sword is not enough."

"The sword is the blade, and the body is the sheath."

"If the sheath is not strong, no matter how sharp the blade is, it will break."

"In addition to swordsmanship, physical training must not be neglected."

"Otherwise, having powerful sword intent without a body strong enough to carry it will only become a fatal flaw."

Jiang Beiming nodded, not quite understanding.

But soon, as if realizing something, his eyes lit up slightly, and he couldn't help but say, "Brother, are you going to teach me another body-building technique?"

Jiang Beixuan said softly, "Not bad."

"In addition to the 'Northern Dark Sword Dao', there is also a body-refining technique that I will personally teach you."

He tilted his head slightly and uttered five words -

"The Red Bright Nine Heavens Diagram."

Jiang Beiming blinked and subconsciously said, "As powerful as Beiming Sword Dao?"

"Yeah." Jiang Beixuan nodded slightly.

At this moment, the boy's excitement almost overflowed: "Then I must practice!"

However, he completely failed to notice the meaningful light in his brother's eyes.

After all, the Chi Ming Jiu Tian Tu cannot be mastered with just passion.

That is a truly domineering body-refining method that aims to temper the flesh and blood to the extreme. The suffering... is still to come.

Jiang Beixuan just smiled and didn't explain.

...........

at the same time.

Southern Realm Group, Yu Lan World.

In an ancient ruin in Zanglingyuan.

It was dead silent and there were gusts of cold wind.

After searching for several hours, Jiang Han suddenly stopped.

He closed his eyes slightly, and his consciousness penetrated deep into the Yellow Springs Demon Map, feeling the subtle fluctuations.

Soon, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a cold smile.

"Daoist Lord Liekong... I'm afraid your life is over."

At this moment, he clearly realized that the existence that once dominated the world had now become extremely weak, like a candle in the wind, about to fall.

Immediately afterwards, his spiritual consciousness suddenly sank and penetrated into the depths of the Yellow Springs Demon Diagram.

In an instant——

The Yellow Springs Divine River surged, and deathly energy filled the air.

And in that vortex formed by river water.

A disheveled figure was having his energy and spirit ruthlessly devoured!

“Boy!!” Daoist Lord Liekong roared continuously, his voice echoing throughout the entire Divine River, “How dare you——”

Before he could finish his words, he felt a more violent withdrawal, causing his aura to dim even further.

"How dare you! Do you know who I am——"

"If you stop now, I can still let you live—"

“Ah! Stop it! Stop it!”

From scolding, to a trembling voice, to a hint of panic in disbelief.

Jiang Han just stood there quietly.

He put his hands behind his back, his expression as cold as if he was looking at a dying fish.

till the end.

Taoist Master Liekong finally collapsed.

His voice was hoarse and pleading:

"No... please, let me go... As long as you are willing to spare my life, I can agree to any conditions you ask for... I have treasures, I have martial arts..."

However, what responded to him was an even more turbulent river.

And Jiang Han's voice, so calm that it seemed to be without a trace of emotion:

"I never trade with a dying man."

The words fell.

Taoist Master Liekong's pupils shrank.

He opened his mouth and wanted to beg for mercy again.

It was as if a pair of invisible hands had gripped his throat tightly, preventing him from uttering a single word.

The next moment——

boom!

The water of the Yellow Spring River around suddenly boiled.

The deathly aura surged, as if countless giant beasts from the underworld were roaring!

Taoist Master Liekong shuddered all over, feeling that his flesh and blood was rapidly withering away.

Dry and cracked skin.

The eye sockets sank rapidly.

His pupils were dim, with only a trace of fear left in his struggle.

"what--"

He wanted to roar, but he couldn't make a complete sound.

In just a few breaths, a great sage who was once high and mighty was completely turned into a dried corpse. He was swallowed up mercilessly by the water of the Yellow Springs River and sank to the bottom of the dark river without any sound.

at the same time.

A large amount of essence, energy and spirit overflowed from the dry corpse, and was guided by the Yellow Springs Divine River and fed back into Jiang Han's body.

boom!

Jiang Han's aura suddenly surged.

The shackles of the fourth-level Saint King were broken with a loud bang!

The fifth level of Saint King!

The sixth level of Saint King!

The seventh level of Saint King!

The aura continued to rise, all the way to the limit of the seventh level of Saint King, before gradually stopping.

Jiang Han slowly opened his eyes.

Immediately, he looked inward and saw the holy power in his body surging and as vast as the ocean.

"Indeed, if I can consolidate my cultivation a little more, it won't be long before I can break through to the eighth level of Saint King..."

At this moment, he was extremely satisfied.

After all, during this period, although he devoured many saints and saint kings with the help of the Yellow Springs Magic Art, his cultivation seemed to be bound and it was difficult to make any progress.

But now, just one great sage - even if it was just an initial stage great sage, could allow his cultivation to leap through several small realms in succession!

This huge contrast made him feel greedy.

"Hunting the Great Sage..." Jiang Han whispered in his heart, his eyes becoming increasingly cold. "Perhaps, this is the real shortcut."

But soon, he suppressed the thought and shook his head gently:

"However, all of this will have to wait until we leave the ruins."

Then, he calmed down and was about to leave.

But at this moment, something strange happened——

boom!

The earth trembled slightly.

A low roar sounded from all directions, causing ripples in the void.

Immediately afterwards, wisps of black mist emerged from the cracks in the stone wall and quickly condensed into shape.

The mist twisted and flowed, gradually turning into all kinds of strange monsters.

Some have three heads and six arms, and a mouth full of fangs.

Some of them had incomplete bodies, but they had dozens of eyes, staring at Jiang Han.

call--

In an instant, a chilling and biting aura swept through the entire place.

Jiang Han raised his eyebrows slightly: "The power of the residual soul?"

He saw the clue at a glance.

These things are not living creatures, but the remnant souls of monsters that have long been lost in the long river of time.

But now, it can be forcibly pulled out by some force, spanning tens of millions of years.

"This place is extraordinary..."

Jiang Han's eyes flickered, and his interest increased greatly.

next moment.

The residual souls let out sharp roars and rushed towards Jiang Han with overwhelming resentment!

"Humph."

Jiang Han's expression was indifferent, and he raised his hand slightly.

boom!

The giant palm transformed by Huangquan's holy power slapped down suddenly!

Only a few "puff" sounds were heard, and those hideous residual souls shattered in an instant, turning into specks of light and ash, and completely disappeared.

The whole process takes only a moment.

It was so easy that he just raised his hand to wipe away a few wisps of dust.

Then, he looked at the scene before him and thought to himself:

"The remnant soul can appear here, which means that this place is different from other areas in the ruins. It must be hiding some secret..."

Thinking of this, he suppressed his murderous intent and began to concentrate on exploring his surroundings.

........

at the same time.

the other side.

Tianya Taoist Palace.

In a magnificent palace.

Two terrifying auras awakened from their slumber at the same time.

boom--

The void vibrates.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly became chaotic.

The restrictions around the palace all lit up, barely suppressing the aftermath.

Inside the hall, a man and a woman opened their eyes at the same time.

The man was wearing a long black gold robe and had a tall and majestic figure. He was none other than Tianyazi, the first Taoist master of the Tianya Taoist Palace.

His cultivation has reached the seventh level of Great Sage, making him the most powerful person in this world!

The woman was wearing a long green dress, with a cold face and sharp eyes. She was the second Taoist Lord of Tianya Taoist Palace, True Lord Biyun, and had the fourth level of cultivation in the Great Saint Realm.

At this moment, the two looked at each other, and both saw solemnity and disbelief in each other's eyes.

"Third brother...is dead."

Tianyazi spoke first.

True Lord Biyun frowned and said in a deep voice, "Who killed him?"

Their third brother, Daojun Liekong, was only at the initial stage of the Great Sage, but due to the special nature of his technique, he was able to escape from the presence of mid-level Great Sages. How could he have died inexplicably?

"Who else dares to kill him?"

Tianyazi's eyes gradually became colder and more stern.

Then, the two fell into deep thought.

The hall was silent for a moment.

Suddenly, a disciple rushed in.

He knelt on the ground, holding the jade slip in his hand: "I report to the two Dao Lords!"

"News has come in from outside...An ancient relic has appeared in the Burial Spirit Abyss."

Tianyazi withdrew his thoughts and murmured, "Ancient ruins?"

He immediately shifted his gaze to the disciple and said in a deep voice, "Tell me in detail."

The disciple was struck by this gaze, and his heart trembled. He did not dare to neglect it, and immediately leaned forward and spoke:

"Recently, a demon has been rampant in the Burial Spirit Abyss, slaughtering countless people and causing rivers of blood."

"In order to suppress its arrogance, all major forces sent their strong men there. Even Daojun Liekong personally appeared here..."

At this point, Tianyazi suddenly interrupted and said, "You said that Liekong is also in the Burial Spirit Abyss?"

Originally, I had no idea about the cause of my third brother's death.

But at this moment, a vague thread seemed to gradually become clear.

However, the disciple did not notice anything unusual and continued, "Yes!"

"It is said that at that time, the cultivators of those forces were all suppressed by the devil and could not even raise their heads. It was only when Daoist Lord Liekong personally took action that the situation was reversed."

"But who would have thought that the demon's fighting power was so terrifying that he fought with Daoist Lord Liekong to a draw!"

"Oh? That devil is so powerful?"

Tianyazi and Biyun Daojun's expressions changed slightly.

But soon, Tianyazi realized something and couldn't help but say, "No, if that demon is so powerful, why didn't those forces send out some powerful people to suppress him? And why did they let Liekong take action alone?"

The disciple's face was bitter, and his tone was filled with fear: "Your Excellency, it was because the demon's realm was too low that no one took it seriously at first."

"A Saint King of the Fourth Realm... Who would have thought that he could rival a Great Sage at such a low level? Therefore, those powerful beings didn't come in person until Daoist Lord Liekong took action..."

"What? Saint King Level 4?!"

The expressions of the two men suddenly changed, and there was a flash of intense shock and disbelief in their eyes.

A sage king is, in theory, no more than an ant in front of the Great Sage, and can be crushed to death with just a wave of his hand.

But this person can actually compete with his third brother?

This kind of incredible fighting power is beyond common sense.

If we allow this person to continue to grow, I'm afraid he will become a serious threat to this world in the future!

Thinking of this, Biyun Daojun snorted coldly: "This beast must be eliminated!"

Tianyazi calmed himself down and continued, "Where are the ruins? You just said that some ancient ruins have appeared in the world?"

The disciple nodded rapidly, "Yes! It is said that when Daoist Lord Liekong fought with that demon, the aftermath caused an ancient relic deep within the Burial Spirit Abyss to reveal itself."

"Some say that the ruins bury ancient true spirits, and some also say that ancient imperial weapons are suppressed within them."

"But regardless of whether it's true or not, that demon seemed to have anticipated this and entered the ruins before Daoist Lord Liekong."

"And Daoist Lord Liekong... also broke in."

"The strong men from other forces were blocked outside the ruins and can only guard the entrance. We still don't know what the situation is like inside."

Having said that, the disciple secretly looked up at the two Dao Lords, cold sweat already breaking out on his forehead, and his heart was trembling with fear.

But fortunately, at this moment, Tianyazi's voice sounded: "You go down first."

"Yes, sir!" The disciple felt relieved and quickly left this extremely depressing environment.

Soon, only Tianyazi and Biyun Daojun were left in the hall.

A moment of silence.

Tianyazi spoke slowly, "You heard it too. I believe my third brother probably died in the ruins at the hands of that devil..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Taoist Biyun slammed his palm on the armrest.

boom!

The palace shook as if falling into an ice cave!

"absurd!"

Daoist Biyun's eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "Third brother's death...how could it be the work of that devil?"

"A mere Saint King! I don't believe it! Even if he truly possesses some incredible abilities, he shouldn't be able to kill my third brother!"

Tianyazi raised his hand and signaled her to be quiet.

"The facts are before us and cannot be doubted."

"You should understand that the person who can kill my third brother is definitely not an ordinary person."

"If this is really the devil, then this person has infinite potential..."

Daoist Biyun suddenly turned around, his eyes like a knife: "So what if you have unlimited potential?"

"Since they can threaten us, we should eliminate them as soon as possible!"

"I don't care who he is, or how he can defeat the Great Sage. If he dares to touch anyone from Tianya Dao Palace, he must die!"

Tianyazi shook his head: "Don't be impatient."

"Biyun, impulsiveness will hurt you."

"Do you really think that the one who could kill my third brother at the level of a Saint King would be a reckless man?"

"If you underestimate a person like this, it will be a way to your death."

Daoist Biyun snorted coldly: "Brother, things have come to this point, and you're telling me not to rush?"

"So what are you going to do? Stand by and watch? Wait for that devil to become more powerful? Big Brother, I'm telling you, I won't wait! Even if it costs me, I'll make him pay with blood!"

As soon as the words fell, murderous intent surged!

Tianyazi slowly closed his eyes and sighed, "With your temper, you will sow the seeds of disaster for yourself sooner or later... But if you insist on going, I can't stop you."

"Just remember, if you encounter someone you can't defeat, retreat immediately."

"The death of my third brother is a bloody wake-up call."
