Mysterious mirror hanging high

"Although this person is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, he holds a high position in the Free and Easy Alliance and is particularly adept at general affairs. Aside from the Alliance Leader [Yuwen Xiaojin], this Deputy Alliance Leader is the most powerful."

"Besides..." The captain changed the subject, "This [Fairy Yuan Xi] has another identity. She is the niece of the renowned Jindan Tianjiao [Master Xuanjing] in Zhongzhou."

"The Taoist Xuanjing who shined so brilliantly at the Penglai Gathering?"

Someone in the group said in surprise, "It's rumored that this person has such a strong foundation and vast magical powers...that he's almost on par with the two contemporary Daoists from the Second Guan. I thought he was the noble descendant of some great figure, but I never thought he'd be from a small place like Yunchuan Territory."

"There are heroes among the humble..." the captain sighed. "Alright, stop the bullshit and start searching. Yuwen Baoding is seriously injured and has escaped, so our True Lords are pursuing him. At the Jindan level, Yuwen Xiaojin, Bo Lei Dao Nun, and Wan Lingjun, the three Jindan cultivators, also have their own Jindan True Lords to look after them."

"My foundation-building team only needs to focus on searching for Zhao Yuanxi, Yuwen Yundan, and the others..."

After saying that, several people rode on the light and left the place.

Just a quarter of an hour after the demon cultivator left, the light in the bushes in the valley below distorted slightly, and a beautiful female cultivator wearing an ice-blue robe and an ice crystal hairpin on her head appeared.

It was Zhao Yuanxi.

At this time, Zhao Yuanxi's face was as pale as gold paper and her breath was scattered. It was obvious that her condition was not good. She looked in the direction where several demon cultivators left with a cold expression and tightly pursed lips.

The secret method of concealing one's breath also consumes mana. Now Zhao Yuanxi can't even maintain his breath concealment. A faint spiritual pressure emanates from him, and even this spiritual pressure is a little intermittent!

Over the years, she has studied the [Divine Dynasty Qingyun Secret Method] in depth, and holds a high position in the Xiaoyao Alliance. Her cultivation level has long been polished to perfection, and she has reached the perfect state of foundation building. If she did not have a few secret methods of forming the elixir left by Jing Yu that had not been practiced to the great stage, she would have already started preparing for the elixir formation!

But now the Yunchuan Region has completely fallen, and the Xiaoyao Alliance is on the verge of destruction. Without the blessing of power and status, Zhao Yuanxi is now almost unable to maintain his foundation-building cultivation!

"Fortunately, I have the concealment method left by my uncle, so ordinary foundation-building demon cultivators cannot find my trace."

Zhao Yuanxi pondered, "But if I encounter a Jindan demon cultivator, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it..."

"My uncle should still be in the [Xuanyuan Yuhuatian] right now, right?"

Zhao Yuanxi felt a little regretful. "Perhaps I should have listened to my uncle and gone with him to [Zhongzhou Territory]... Maybe the situation would be different now."

However, this thought only flashed through Zhao Yuanxi's mind for a moment before she completely threw it away. Now was not the time to regret. She knew very well that it was not advisable to stay here for long. If the demon cultivator took over this place completely, she would no longer have a chance to escape.

"Ahem... My realm has plummeted, and my magic power is running low... If I encounter a demon cultivator, I can't just sit there and wait for death."

Zhao Yuanxi rummaged through his storage bag and pulled out three talismans with a faint glow of precious light.

"The Golden Core Talisman... I can barely activate it right now, but not to mention the limit on how many times I can activate it, with my current level of cultivation, I'm afraid the backlash I'll suffer will be enough to seriously injure me."

Zhao Yuanxi shook his head and took out another treasure.

This treasure is a long jade talisman with a tiger pattern painted on it. The back of the jade talisman is engraved with the characters "Auspicious Beast Sacrifice" and "Nine Provinces Establish the Tribe".

It is the [Ritual Cloud Beast Jade Talisman].

Zhao Yuanxi stared at the jade talisman, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.

This talisman is a treasure that Jing Yu obtained after undergoing the test when he entered the [Langhuo Blessed Land]. If he were to transfer magic power into it, he could summon a cloud beast in the early stage of foundation building to fight the enemy.

After leaving the blessed land, Jing Yu naturally had no use for the treasure with his fighting ability, so he casually gave it to Zhao Yuanxi for self-defense.

Later, the battle between good and evil broke out, Jing Yu fled to the Red Dust Sea, and Zhao Yuanxi relied on this treasure to fight.

Later, her uncle returned and she became a high-ranking member of the Xiaoyao Alliance. She had not had the opportunity to fight for many years, so she put the treasure in a storage bag to collect dust.

Now it has been brought up again, and it is appropriate to use it at this time.

Zhao Yuanxi hadn't touched the jade talisman for many years, and was afraid that it would become unfamiliar to him, so he transferred a bit of the magic power he practiced from the [Shenchao Qingyun Magical Method] to activate the jade talisman.

hum-

The jade talisman with tiger patterns engraved on it lit up instantly and flew out of Zhao Yuanxi's hand without his control!

The next moment, the jade talisman exploded instantly and turned into a white jade arch with intricate and mysterious patterns. It fell in front of the stunned Zhao Yuanxi with a "bang".

The white jade archway slowly opened, revealing a gap. It was dark and gloomy inside, and it was difficult to see clearly.

The noise caused by the falling of the white jade arch was so loud that it caused a powerful spiritual storm to rise in the surrounding area. In just a moment, the several scattered warning nodes randomly laid out by the Tiannan Demon Cultivator were immediately activated.

"There's movement over there!"

Several beams of light flew over from a distance, and Zhao Yuanxi's expression changed drastically. After a struggle between his conscience and his desires, he looked at the archway in front of him that led to nowhere, gritted his teeth, and rushed in.

boom!

When Zhao Yuanxi entered, the white jade door quickly closed and eventually disappeared without a trace, leaving behind not even a trace...

[Year 740 of the Changsheng calendar]

Xuanyuan Yuhuatian Small World, the Capital of Dali Kingdom

On this day, spiritual clouds gathered in the sky above Lidu. In the center below the spiritual clouds was the most lively place in Dali, the [Xuanjing Pavilion].

In front of a retreat room in the [Xuanjing Pavilion], two middle-aged men with extraordinary temperaments were concentrating on looking at the spiritual clouds that were gathering in the sky.

One of them was wrapped in a black sable fur coat, was nine feet tall, had thick eyebrows and a broad face. Even though his clothes were luxurious, they could not conceal the unique cold and stern aura of the Northern Desert.

The other man was far inferior to the man in the sable coat in terms of appearance, and he was thin and gaunt, but standing next to that man, he was no less imposing, and even had a hint of simplicity and returning to nature.

The two people were Zhao Cang, Marquis of Zhenbei, and Chen Anping, the national preceptor of Dali.

Nearly ten years have passed since the revival of Dali's spiritual energy. Both of them have now successfully established their foundations. Their spiritual pressure for establishing their foundations is condensed and does not dissipate. It seems that their foundations are quite solid, and not like a loose foundation that was quickly established.

"My Lord, do you think Junior Sister Partridge can succeed?" Chen Anping looked at the spiritual clouds that were gathering thicker and thicker in the sky, gathered his sleeves, and said leisurely.

"Although Que'er's spiritual roots are not top-notch, he is one of the first Xuanjing disciples after all. He has also received personal guidance from the instructor, so his foundation is very solid. Although he cannot compare with the gifted geniuses like the National Master, I think he should be able to build an immortal foundation."

Zhao Cang suddenly worried, "But there's always a chance of failure when building a foundation. Now the end of the prosperous era is not far away. If I fail this time, when the spiritual energy is exhausted, I'm afraid that Quail will have no chance again..."
