My Optimized Immortal Life

And behind the Thousand Mountains, the remaining four monks finally arrived here.

But what was waiting for them here was only black fog that covered the entire formation node like a huge basin.

The four people looked at the black fog with expressions of surprise and doubt on their faces.

At first they thought there would be one or even several demon cultivators staying here, and they were ready for a fierce battle. However, who knew there was only a black fog here. Now they didn't know what to do.

"Isn't there another fellow Taoist? Where are the others?"

someone asked.

"I don't know. Maybe he's already trapped in this black fog."

"Then what should we do?"

Just when everyone was in confusion, the black fog suddenly surged up, engulfing the four people in an instant, and then there was no sound.

After a while, Zuo Ze walked out of here.

He took the Hundred Souls Banner in his hand and then soared into the air. Looking at the undulating mountains around him that looked like crouching dragons, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Now that he had successfully entered Pingxiang Prefecture, the next thing would be much simpler. He only needed to enter the prefecture, find the location of a sect, occupy the mountain gate's spiritual vein, and prepare to break through to the Jindan stage.

As long as he achieves the Jindan stage, Zuo Ze will be able to remove the restrictions placed on him by the old monster Chixue. At that time, he will be able to fly freely in the sky.

However, the Red Blood Monster will definitely not give up his Hundred Souls Banner easily, so before breaking through the Jindan stage, he has to find a way to cause some trouble for the Red Blood Monster. This time, the battle for Pingxiang Prefecture is very good.

Although Zuo Ze had already planned it in his mind, he still had to wait for a suitable opportunity, and now was the opportunity he had been waiting for.

"Let's make the battle for Pingxiang Prefecture more intense this time."

Zuo Ze grinned in his heart.

The Hundred Souls Banner in his hand underwent unprecedented changes.

A deep black shadow rose from the banner and instantly expanded to a size of fifteen feet. Above the black shadow, one could see the struggling and swimming figures of countless resentful souls.

This is the secret technique inherited by Zuo Ze. When used in conjunction with the Hundred Souls Banner, it can increase the power of the Hundred Souls Banner several times.

This means that the Hundred Souls Banner, which originally had the power of Jindan-level spells, can reach the level of the late Jindan stage after being amplified by this secret technique.

As far as Zuo Ze knew, the Jindan cultivator guarding Pingxiang Prefecture had only just entered this realm, and it seemed that he had not even refined his own magic weapon, and had not reached the combat power that a Jindan cultivator should have.

That is to say, he is guarding Pingxiang Prefecture and possesses the restriction token of this place, which allows him to mobilize the power of the formation. Otherwise, this cultivator will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the Demonic Dan.

Of course, there is also an implicit rule that one cannot act casually after reaching the Jindan stage.

After all, if a Jindan cultivator really uses all his strength, he may not be able to split mountains and seas, but he can still smash hills and change the terrain.

If a conflict occurs at a spiritual vein, it is possible that a spiritual vein will be lost, resulting in a decrease in the concentration of spiritual energy in an area.

Whether it is a sect of the evil way or the righteous way, they all have to rely on spiritual veins to settle down, improve their cultivation, and increase their lifespan.

Therefore, no sect wants to damage a healthy spiritual vein, and for Zuo Ze personally, it doesn't matter.

Although there are not countless spiritual veins in this world, there are all kinds of them.

Especially for individual monks.

Jindan-level cultivators have the ability to move spiritual veins. As long as they are willing to look for it carefully, they will always be able to find a usable spiritual vein that is sufficient for their own cultivation.

Therefore, the higher the level of the cultivator, the more lonely he becomes. This is not only because of the emotional indifference brought about by the passage of time, but also because of the gradual increase in individual power, and the decreasing demands on the collective.

Just like Tianyuan Zhenjun of Tianyuan Sect, as Yuanying Zhenjun, his identity is the supreme elder of Tianyuan Sect. There is another detail in this, that is, it is not Tianyuan Zhenjun who relies on Tianyuan Sect, but the entire Tianyuan Sect must rely on Tianyuan Zhenjun.

It is precisely because of the presence of Tianyuan Zhenjun, the only Nascent Soul cultivator in Song State, that Tianyuan Sect can sit firmly on the throne of the number one sect in Song State and occupy the only medium-sized, top-grade spiritual vein in Song State.

Zuo Ze has been struggling in the magic world for more than ten years, and he has long been familiar with all the secrets involved.

Because of this, he paid more attention to hiding himself. He could have broken through to the Jindan stage half a year ago, but was dragged until now. He even injected too much of his cultivation into the Hundred Souls Banner, causing this magic treasure to transform and become a Jindan-level magic weapon.

There are naturally pros and cons to this, but considering Zuo Ze’s previous situation, the pros definitely outweigh the cons.

As for now?

Zuo Ze's mouth was extremely proud, and the foundation-building magic power in his body was continuously injected into the Hundred Souls Banner in his hand, causing the breath of the terrifying black shadow to continue to rise. The resentment of the resentful souls gradually spread to the surroundings, and was gradually transforming the environment here into a ghost domain suitable for the survival of resentful souls and ghosts.

When the pressure in his body was about to reach its limit, Zuo Ze groaned and moved his spiritual consciousness. The terrifying black shadows with resentful souls and human figures rising up suddenly surged like a tide, forming a huge black figure in the air that was enough to cover the entire hill.

Then, the figure stretched out his hands slowly but quickly, and directly pressed them on the node that constituted the entire border formation.

There was only a burst of hissing sounds.

The light curtain of the formation seemed to be corroded and melted away instantly, allowing the scene outside the light curtain to be imprinted in Zuo Ze's eyes.

He nodded with satisfaction, and then looked towards the place where the spiritual energy was rioting. That was the proof that the Jindan Zhenren was angry.

He chuckled, and the terrifying black shadow on the Hundred Souls Banner immediately turned into thousands of black gases that spread in all directions. Those were the countless resentments gathered in the Hundred Souls Banner, which were necessary to nourish the resentful souls.

However, after Zuo Ze performed this secret technique, the resentful souls themselves suffered irreversible damage, so there was no point in keeping the resentment.

If Zuo Ze releases him now, he can also confuse the eyes of those righteous monks.

Put the Hundred Souls Banner into the storage bag.

Zuo Ze swallowed a pill to restore his magic power, and then turned into a black light.

He left before many demonic and righteous monks turned their attention to this place.

Only the formation nodes that had begun to gradually deteriorate and could no longer be repaired were left.

This flaw quickly attracted the attention of many wandering demonic cultivators. With the entry of these cultivators, the stalemate that the two sides had tacitly maintained was immediately broken.

The demonic invasion has reached a new climax.

A day later, a piece of news spread like an arrow between the demonic cultivators and the righteous alliance.

"What? Pingxiang Prefecture's defense line was breached?"

"Sanxuan only achieved Jindan stage a few years ago and hasn't even refined his own magical treasure yet. He lacks combat power and is no match for the Demonic Path's renowned Yin Fire."

"What should we do next? Behind Pingxiang Mansion is Luoyun Mansion, a place with weak spiritual energy. It is impossible to set up a formation."

"Then take Pingxiang Prefecture back!"

"........."

It seemed that Zuo Ze had only broken through one node of the formation, but the effect it brought was more than that. The power invested by both the good and evil sides was forced to increase because of Zuo Ze's actions.

Although this is good news for the lower-level monks, it is not good news for the true people above.
