Immortality and Cultivation: This old man seeks enlightenment through mere survival.

Ten days later.

A spirit boat stealthily passed low over the Thunderfall Plain, and inside the cabin were Chen Kui and Gongyang Wen.

"I never expected that a second-tier top-grade Emerald Light Spirit Marrow could be cultivated in the Spirit Spring. Now, Brother is even more confident in presenting this treasure!"

Gongyang Wen raised his wine cup and congratulated Chen Kui.

A look of joy appeared on Chen Kui's old face.

"Yes, the original Emerald Light Spirit Water could only barely reach the middle grade of the second rank, but the spiritual essence condensed in the center of this spring can reach the top grade of the second rank."

In this way, I will surely catch the eye of True Immortal Qingming…

The two returned home to retrieve their treasure, but to their surprise, a drop of top-grade spiritual essence condensed in the eye of the spiritual spring.

Even from the perspective of a Core Formation cultivator, it is a rare treasure in the Northern Sky Domain.

But then Chen Kui sighed again.

"Cough cough... It's just a pity that now that the spiritual essence has been taken, that spring will probably disappear soon..."

The Spirit Spring Eye is formed by the convergence of the feng shui forces of heaven and earth.

Now that the essence has been taken away, the sacred spring will slowly lose its spiritual charm and become just ordinary spring water.

"Didn't my elder brother say that as long as we can climb to the top of the Heavenly Nether Palace, what does a spiritual spring matter..."

Gongyang Wen promptly offered words of comfort.

"Too……"

Chen Kuizheng wanted to say something more, but suddenly his expression changed.

"Who's up ahead?!"

Gongyang Wen also instantly went on high alert.

"what?!"

Not far ahead of the spirit boat, it could be seen.

A burly, arrogant figure, arms crossed, hovered silently in mid-air, blocking their path, as if he had been waiting for a long time...

"Tsk tsk... I only wanted the spiritual water, but I didn't expect to receive such an unexpected surprise."

This person is naturally Jiuyou.

He had already arrived at the road that Chen Kui and his companion were bound to take, just waiting for them to run into him.

"It's you? Chu Xiao, you really are suspicious?!"

Did you eavesdrop on our conversation at Tianbao Pavilion that day?

After Chen Kui and the other man clearly saw Jiu You's face, they instantly realized what was happening and asked in surprise and uncertainty.

"Hey, don't put it so harshly. I've come to see you today to refine two things..."

Jiuyou said with a chuckle.

"...What does Fellow Daoist Chu wish to refine?"

Chen Kui pretended to be startled, intending to delay for a moment, but in reality he had already secretly transmitted his voice to Gongyang Wen.

"Second brother, this person is up to no good and may have something to rely on. Help me to activate the spirit boat with all my might and break out!"

Jiuyou grinned, and said menacingly:

"Hehe, I need you to make two top-quality spirit coffins..."

Before Jiuyou could finish speaking...

The next moment, the surface of the airship glowed with a strong red light and hummed, as it tried to turn and escape!

However, Jiuyou was one step ahead.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? The business deal isn't finalized yet."

Suddenly, his body vanished from its original spot and crashed headlong into the flying boat!

"boom!!!"

Immediately afterwards, a loud explosion rang out!

A white streak was suddenly drawn out of the air.

The airship exploded!

The spiritual materials scattered everywhere, filling the sky...

Chen Kui and Gongyang Wen were both thrown into the air, losing control and falling downwards.

Two more "thump" sounds as the floor was hit!

The next moment, Jiuyou descended from the sky with his arms crossed, landing in front of the two.

Even the posture remained unchanged, highlighting the nonchalant attitude.

"Pfft...you...cough cough...not in the early Foundation Establishment stage, who are you...?"

Chen Kui coughed up blood, tried to push himself up with his hands, but couldn't get up. He looked at Jiu You with resentment.

A dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator was actually no match for the force of a single impact. His internal organs were shattered, and he lay sprawled on the ground like a dog with a broken spine.

"What grudge do we have against you?!"

Gongyang Wen roared in despair as well.

Being intercepted and killed so inexplicably would make anyone feel extremely resentful.

Especially since they were completely powerless to resist.

"Tsk tsk... You've been so eager to deal with me, but now that you have the chance, you're not happy about it?"

Jiuyou gave a forced, insincere smile.

He stepped forward, slowly squatted down, and his face had somehow changed to that of a scholar in blue robes.

"It's you!!!"

Chen Kui's pupils contracted, never expecting that the face he had been longing for day and night for revenge would actually appear before him.

He suddenly roared, and with an unknown burst of strength, he broke free and lunged at the Netherworld like a demon from hell!

"Oh!"

But the next moment, Jiuyou casually slapped his head, smashing it like a watermelon.

Red and white juices were spilled all over the ground.

Gongyang Wen witnessed all of this and was also splashed in the face. He trembled uncontrollably, his teeth chattering as he said:

"No...don't kill me! I'm an alchemist. You can have all my treasures, and I can even refine pills for you."

"Oh, okay." Jiuyou nodded.

Gongyang Wen was taken aback. "What?"

"I was just kidding." Jiuyou revealed a devilish smile.

"Are you... joking? You'll die a horrible death! If you kill us, the Heavenly Underworld Palace will not let you get away with it!"

Gongyang Wen, having been tricked, roared hysterically.

In the end, is using Core Formation power as a threat the only option left?

I thought he'd say something like, "Even as a ghost, I won't let myself go."

"Okay, okay, there's a limit to jokes, right?"

Jiuyou stood up listlessly, then stomped down.

Another "pop" sound rang out.

.........

In the blink of an eye.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Jiuyou flew into the depths of the clouds over Luolei Plain.

"I've got the spiritual water, and there's an extra bonus. Now I can start tempering my body with heavenly lightning..."

In the instant the clouds were torn apart, dozens of black and white lightning bolts struck!

Like a raging thunder serpent, it was ferocious and terrifying.

"Well done..."

He neither flinched nor dodged, letting the heavenly lightning pierce his body.

These black and white lightning bolts can only affect cultivators in the early to mid-stages of Foundation Establishment.

They were no longer able to subdue the Nine Netherworlds.

Activating his supernatural powers, he could refine and absorb the heavenly lightning into its essence in the blink of an eye!

"Not enough, this time we can explore even deeper..."

How deep are the thunderclouds in Luolei Plain?

No one knows.

Anyway, a Core Formation Grandmaster once ventured deep into it, but upon returning, he never mentioned it again, remaining utterly secretive about it...

Jiuyou's eyes flashed, arcs of electricity dancing in their depths. As soon as he finished speaking, he accelerated, heading straight for the deeper part of the thunderclouds!

Boom boom——!!!

The entire thundercloud seemed to be enraged by this arrogant intruder, and the layers of dark clouds swirled out like living creatures.

Dozens of purple rays suddenly burst forth from the depths, like a group of dragons reaching out their claws, heading straight for the Netherworld.

"Hiss... Dozens of purple lightning dragons actually condensed at once?!"

Jiuyou gasped, then burst into unrestrained laughter, stepping onto the clouds and charging forward!

"Now that my demonic body has awakened, do you think I fear you?"

Jiuyou also raised his hand and grabbed, clashing with the claws of one of the purple lightning dragons!

*Sizzle!*

A strong numbing sensation spread from my palms throughout my body.

The other purple lightning dragons surrounded him, their scales and claws lunging at Jiu You's vital points!

"Practice for me!"

Enraged, Jiuyou's hair stood on end, his black hair dancing wildly like a demon, and he unleashed the [Heaven and Earth Manifestation] technique without hesitation!

Russian qing.

A giant appeared, its body as large as a mountain, as red as blood, and its skin covered with black magical patterns.

Like a demonic Asura crawling out of the abyss, riding on thunderclouds, unruly and arrogant!

After breaking through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, Jiuyou's [Asura Form] had reached a height of thirty zhang!

With a wave of his arms, he tore the purple lightning dragon coiled around him to shreds, turning it into jets of lightning that flowed back into his body.

"Have fun, come again!"

Jiuyou laughed wildly, swinging his fists and claws, waving his arms and kicking his legs, each move was powerful and unrestrained, fighting against the dragon!

They were now dozens of miles deep in the thunderclouds.

He was not afraid of attracting attention due to the fluctuations in combat.

As a result, the thunder dragons lurking deep in the clouds were all enraged and sprang up all at once!

They bared their fangs and claws, charging in to kill!
