Chapter 586: Chapter 369: Golden Core Ninth Layer_3

“The Mountain Guardian Formation of the Qiu Ling Sect has been found to have a flaw, and we can enter soon? Very good, just in time.”

The lingering sound dissipated as Zhao Sheng’s figure vanished from the cave mansion.

A short while later, within the cave mansion on the Island of Splendid Winds, Zhao Sheng successfully met with Daoist Zhai Kong.

As soon as he sat down, Zhao Sheng directly asked Daoist Zhai Kong, “Senior brother, is the news about the Qiu Ling Sect really credible?”

“Absolutely beyond doubt. The Great Chief Priest of our sect specialized in Demon Suppression is currently stationed there and has already sent word. Three months later, when the double sun eclipses the moon, that is exactly when the Great Array’s operation slows and reveals its flaw.”

Zhao Sheng was certain in his heart and asked again, “Senior brother, do you know how many fellow Daoists will accompany us on this journey?”

“Not too many, not too few, just eight people including you and me!”

“Oh, so Mr. Hong couldn’t make it?” Zhao Sheng mused.

Daoist Zhai Kong sighed, “Unfortunately, his strength is insufficient, so the Spiritual Tablet had to be given to other seniors from Cang Province who traveled here.”

Speaking of this, Daoist Zhai Kong’s demeanor became grave, “Junior brother, you must be careful. I have heard that the Shisha Taoist has set his sights on your Qiu Ling Plate. He is a Great Chief Priest with a Golden Core Ninth Layer.”

“Heh, anyone who’s not afraid of death is welcome to try. My Geng Gold Sword Pill might have not tasted blood for a long time and is already hungering for it,” Zhao Sheng said with an unconcerned tease.

Having heard this, Daoist Zhai Kong’s eyes flickered with an unusual light, feeling extremely surprised.

In the past two years, he increasingly felt that he could not see through his own junior brother.

Seven or eight years ago, Daoist Zhai Kong still remembered his junior brother’s sharp edge, for having successively killed several Golden Core Main Priests on the wanted list, even earning himself the nickname “Demon Star.”

At that time, he could still vaguely sense his junior brother’s depth.

But just a few short years passed, and upon their reunion, his junior brother had regained his innocence and Returning to the Truth, so that he could no longer sense a trace, only feeling that the other was like an ordinary person, full of profound and unpredictable aura.

The more Daoist Zhai Kong watched, the more his heart palpitated, and he could not help but ask, “Junior brother, your cultivation…?”

Zhao Sheng smiled faintly upon hearing this, saying calmly, “Not much progress, just reached the Late Stage of Golden Core.”

Daoist Zhai Kong was visibly shocked to hear this, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

“Wonderful! As the saying goes, when brothers unite, their sharpness can cut through metal. With junior brother’s aid, the Nascent Soul Pill will surely not escape our grasp.”

Zhao Sheng’s gaze flashed as he said solemnly, “Senior brother should not be too pleased too soon. Not to mention that the Qiu Ling Sect’s mountain gate has long become a place of disputes, any Golden Core with aspirations of the Nascent Soul wouldn’t miss such a godsent opportunity. With numerous cultivators gathering, competing for a single Nascent Soul Pill is extremely difficult.

Furthermore, how many Nascent Soul Pills are hidden within the Qiu Ling Sect’s mountain gate is still unknown. If the information is wrong, wouldn’t that be a false joy?”

Daoist Zhai Kong’s face showed confidence as he spoke in a gentle voice, “Junior brother, you might not be aware, but it’s true that there are Nascent Soul Pills hidden within the Qiu Ling Sect, and not just one. Back then, the Qiu Ling Sect was one of the rear bases of the expeditionary army, with a massive amount of cultivation resources stored. The records are officially registered, how could they be false?”

Zhao Sheng, astonished, asked, “If what senior brother says is true, the emergence of the Qiu Ling Sect’s mountain gate is a major event. With eleven provinces in this realm and many powerful forces, if Nascent Soul themselves took action, would we even have a chance?”

Daoist Zhai Kong smiled confidently and advised Zhao Sheng, “Junior brother, you can’t always be immersed in cultivation; you should also get out and about more often.

You should know that the Wuzhou Sea is an extremely sensitive region, with eighteen Overlord-level forces joining hands to occupy this territory. Other forces simply can’t interfere.”

“I see. It seems that our opponents mainly come from within the seventeen forces including the Black Sky Sect, Mystic Sky Sect, and Asking Dao Sect.”

At this point, Zhao Sheng suddenly asked, “By the way, when do we set out?”

“In two months.”
