Chapter 357 - 190: Accepting the Challenge, the Powerful Secret Technique from the Hundred Floating Domains

Fellow Daoist Heihe shook his head and sent a message, "If it’s a lower cultivation level heterodox cultivator, even if they meet the challenge conditions, they are relatively easier to deal with. If Fellow Daoist Li doesn’t want to accept the challenge, a word can dismiss them, but Gu Qiao is probably not so easily handled.

Although Gu Qiao is a loose cultivator and hasn’t signed a Spirit Contract with Wind and Cloud Immortal City, thus not being part of Wind and Cloud Immortal City, he is still Vice City Lord Lin’s person. Targeting Feng Jue might also be under Vice City Lord Lin’s orders."

"Vice City Lord Lin?"

Wen Jiu slightly furrowed his brows.

Could it involve another Foundation Establishment Perfection expert?

If so.

Then the challenge is even less acceptable.

Fellow Daoist Heihe explained through transmitted message, "There’s something Fellow Daoist may not know, our Wind and Cloud Immortal City has three Vice City Lords, Senior Brother Wei, another honorary Vice City Lord who was an old fellow Daoist of my master, and finally this Vice City Lord Lin.

However, although Vice City Lord Lin is also Foundation Establishment Perfection, she is our master’s martial aunt and fellow junior sister of our master. If it’s indeed her nod of approval, then Senior Brother Wei will have to step in."

Wen Jiu understood and nodded.

Seems like Feng Jue’s bounty is very tempting, catching the attention of the high-levels of Wind and Cloud Immortal City.

"Fellow Daoist Heihe, is there any other solution?" Wen Jiu asked through transmitted message again, considering, if not, then they’d have to give up Cold Creek Mountain.

Anyway, there are so many cultivation lands in Little Demon Realm.

Just grab another one.

But if the opponent insists on targeting Feng Jue, this wouldn’t be viable. If necessary, they could only part ways with Feng Jue. With Feng Jue’s current strength, he should be able to secure a cultivation land alone without issue.

He currently holds the Honored Guest Token, outsiders cannot challenge him. If heterodox evil cultivators from Little Demon Realm challenge, deal with middle-stage Foundation Establishment directly, if late-stage, directly seek Fellow Daoist Heihe or Daoist Wei to resolve.

"No."

Heihe shook his head helplessly, but decided to go upstairs to find Daoist Wei.

"Fellow Daoist Heihe, there’s no need for such trouble." Upon receiving this answer, Wen Jiu decided to go back and pack up things, giving up Cold Creek Mountain.

You want Cold Creek Mountain?

Take it.

Just don’t let me catch an opportunity in the future, when the chance comes, you’ll regret it!

Heihe was taken aback, "Daoist, are you confident in defeating Gu Qiao?"

The words fell.

Heihe’s face was full of surprise and delight.

Wen Jiu responded, "No, if he wants Cold Creek Mountain, give it to him, exactly the right time to change to a cultivation land with more concentrated Yin Evil Qi."

Heihe’s smile abruptly froze.

...

Outside Cold Creek Mountain.

The crowd of Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered to watch was getting larger, each watching the drama with interest. The Chen Li couple also came upon hearing the sound, but dared not speak up due to Gu Qiao’s strength.

In the eyes of heterodox evil cultivators, Gu Qiao definitely wasn’t coming for Cold Creek Mountain, but for Feng Jue’s bounty.

Top-Grade Extreme Yin Pill!

Even Hidden Pavilion doesn’t have it.

If acquired, it could increase the success rate of breaking through to late-stage Foundation Establishment by twenty percent, and for those transitioning from middle-stage Foundation Establishment, up to fifty percent. For Foundation Establishment cultivators with Spirit Roots not considered good or Dao Foundations not of top quality, this could very likely be an opportunity to change their fate.

Gu Qiao has now broken through to late-stage Foundation Establishment, next he aims for Foundation Establishment Perfection, Top-Grade Extreme Yin Pill is the best choice.

Thus, in the eyes of everyone, Feng Jue is determined to be doomed.

The Three Life Gates cannot protect.

After all, they believe, if the Three Life Gates really fully accepted Feng Jue, would Feng Jue have come to Little Demon Realm to sign the Spirit Contract?

Most likely the Three Life Gates are simply exploiting him. Thinking of this, Li Ghost Cultivator’s heart simmered with anger.

Back in Li Hun’s cave mansion, due to apprehension towards the Three Life Gates, he dared not raise the price for Tier Two Blood Corpse Mushrooms, which Feng Jue took all away. Now it seems, Feng Jue this brat is truly despicable.

Borrowed authority deceitfully.

Dogged to a powerful situation.

Pretentious posturing.

"What about Li Mu then, why hasn’t he appeared yet?" Li Ghost Cultivator watched Cold Creek Mountain with a schadenfreude laugh.

"Maybe he’s fetching reinforcements, but unfortunately, the one challenging him is a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, no matter who he brings, it’s useless." The evil cultivator next to him chuckled insidiously.

And at this moment, everyone’s gaze turned towards the core area of Little Demon Realm, as Wen Jiu and Heihe rushed over. Li Ghost Cultivator sneered contemptuously, "Sure enough, went to fetch reinforcements."

Gu Qiao saw this, kept a calm face, seemingly indifferent to Heihe’s arrival, only focused his gaze tightly on Wen Jiu.

Speaking of.

People from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks are also looking for a corpse cultivator.

Could it be Li Mu?

Unfortunately.

Li Mu has no bounty, otherwise, this old man could kill two birds with one stone.

"Fellow Daoist Li."

Seeing Wen Jiu arrive, Feng Jue was delighted, his complexion instantly looked much better.

Gu Qiao spoke coldly, "Since you’re here, then choose a date."

Wen Jiu glanced at Gu Qiao, but his gaze was immediately attracted to Feng Jue, why is this guy’s aura so chaotic?

Additionally, his body is filled with toxins.

From the perspective of a Fake Pill Demon Cultivator with a millennium of experience, these are extremely toxic liquids, capable of poisoning even Foundation Establishment cultivators. Such ruthless toxins, there’s about several pounds within Feng Jue.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, what is this?"

Wen Jiu asked hurriedly through transmitted message.

Feng Jue sighed and painfully transmitted message, "Truth be told, encountered trouble cultivating poison skills. If Fellow Daoist Han wants to accept the challenge, leave me half a month’s time... If Daoist plans to give Cold Creek Mountain to Gu Qiao, I’ll naturally heed Fellow Daoist Han’s decision..."

Wen Jiu’s expression tightened.

Somewhat reluctant.

Because no matter how Feng Jue is, he is one of his few friends in this world.

Plus, although this guy is ruthless, he indeed has not done anything wrong to him.

"Actually, I was ready to just give it to him and part ways with you, but seeing you in this state..." Wen Jiu transmitted the honest truth.

Why speak honestly.

Because he wanted to hear some real words from Feng Jue.

Or see if he could extract some things from that mysterious soul.

To have entered like this with so much powerful toxic fluid for body refining, proved the poison skills or poison arts are extremely strict, the stricter the proof these arts are more advanced, according to the Fake Pill Demon Soul’s memory, these arts are definitely Fake Pill or Golden Core level.

The soul able to casually produce such a level of poison skills, in life must have been a Golden Core Zhenren existence.

Perhaps even higher.

So Wen Jiu wanted to test a bit.

"Fellow Daoist Han, thank you for being honest." Although Feng Jue was somewhat bitter, he wasn’t surprised, it aligned with Han Li’s character, "However, Fellow Daoist Han, you and I separating can only solve the immediate issue, if I die, Daoist you will inevitably face trouble coming your way.

Fellow Daoist Han, please don’t misunderstand, I’m not threatening. But I have a secret technique, albeit costing some lifespan, can raise my battle power to late-stage Foundation Establishment, if you and I join forces might not be unable to kill him. Once he’s dealt with, ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn’t dare to target me, with myself guarding up front, Daoist can rest assured."

Hearing these words, Wen Jiu could be a hundred percent certain that Feng Jue’s mysterious soul was a Golden Core or higher existence.

If promptly soul capturing.

A fortune!

However, soul capturing a Golden Core or higher soul is definitely not easy, plus there’s a risk of them acting desperately.

While pondering this, Feng Jue quickly transmitted message again, "If Daoist doesn’t believe, I can let you review the entire secret technique."

Foundation Establishment Cultivators have eidetic memory, Feng Jue doesn’t have the ability to make Wen Jiu forget, so letting him see is equivalent to transmitting the secret technique. Allowing mid-stage Foundation Establishment to surge with late-stage strength, such a secret technique is worth checking.

If true.

Then accept the challenge.

As long as Feng Jue stands guard at the front, without overly exposing himself, continuing risking together is manageable.

The next moment.

Secret technique entered the ear.

Its name: Sixth Turn of Zhongming.

Upon seeing this secret technique name, Wen Jiu’s expression tightened, because it exists in the Demon Soul’s memory.

Sixth Turn of Zhongming.

A notoriously fierce secret technique in the western Hundred Floating Domains.

Originates from Chongming Mountain.

One of the dominant Golden Core powers in Hundred Floating Domains.

Upon usage, burns lifespan to enhance strength, though burning lifespan is a path to self-destruction, if counter-attacking succeeds, burning twenty thirty years of life is worth it? As long as surviving, as long as having Spirit Stones, Tier Two Lower Grade Longevity Pill can replenish lifespan.

Although there are no Alchemy Masters able to refine Longevity Pills in Divine Fall Mountain Range, Hundred Floating Domains still have.

"The secret technique is indeed correct, proving that the soul in life was at least a Golden Core Zhenren existence, might have taught Feng Jue other secret saves as well." Wen Jiu internally muttered, but didn’t immediately agree, "Fellow Daoist Feng, I agree with you, but you must owe me a favor and make a Heart Demon Oath."

"Certainly!"

Feng Jue nodded without hesitation.
