Chapter 140 Ouyang Lihe
Zhang Yuhe quickly arrived at the Sect treasure vault, and after he presented his identity jade token,
he quickly received ten one-star Chaos Beast Crystal Cores.
The process was so smooth that it completely exceeded his expectations without encountering any deliberate harassment.
The Senior Brother in charge of guarding the treasure vault did not even ask a single question and directly tossed the items to him.
"This Sect is not bad."
Zhang Yuhe silently gave the Sect a favorable review.
Although the Dao Saint Sect was currently in a period of decline, the disciples were still very united.
The clichéd events he had imagined did not happen.
He took a Chaos Beast Crystal Core in his hand to examine it.
He saw that the surface of the crystal core emitted a chaotic and violent Qi.
Through the crystal core in his hand, he could imagine the formidable strength of the Chaos Beast.
According to normal classifications, one- to three-star Chaos Beasts corresponded in strength from the Early Stage to the Late Stage of the True Immortal Realm.
However, when actually fighting, unless the Immortal body was initially formed,
otherwise, the Late Stage of the True Immortal Realm might not necessarily be able to beat to death a one-star Chaos Beast.
Because Chaos Beasts were simply too tanky.
According to the descriptions in the ancient texts, Chaos Beasts were not only huge in size and thick-skinned,
but the crucial point was that they could almost immunize against the Divine Ability and Law damage of Cultivators of the same rank.
To want to kill a Chaos Beast, an Immortal either needed strength that could suppress the Chaos Beast by a head,
or had comprehended the Law to a higher Realm, or comprehended some special Laws.
Of course, the best method was still to cultivation an Immortal body.
Even if it was just the initial formation of the Immortal body, one could rely on brute force to crush Chaos Beasts below three stars.
It was a pity that wanting to refine an Immortal body was simply too difficult.
According to Zhang Yuhe's planning, he placed the cultivation of the Immortal body at the very end.
As for this thing called an Immortal body, it was not afraid of strong talent, nor was it afraid of high Comprehension.
Without the assistance of corresponding heavenly and earthly treasuress, even if an Immortal came, it would be useless.
...
After Zhang Yuhe left the treasure vault,
he was pondering whether to find a place first to open the first aperture.
Suddenly, his expression stirred.
A crystal-clear mirror appeared in his hand.
Immortal Transmission Mirror.
It was a common communication tool for Immortals, capable of real-time communication within the same sea area.
Zhang Yuhe pinched an incantation formula and stretched out a finger pointing towards the Immortal Transmission Mirror.
Xie Mingyuan's projection soon appeared within the mirror.
"Junior Brother, are you ready? We are about to set off."
"Alright, I am waiting outside the mountain gate."
Zhang Yuhe put away the Immortal Transmission Mirror and quickly flew outside the mountain gate.
Not long after, a stream of light was seen streaking across from the distance.
An exquisite flying boat appeared in his field of vision.
Zhang Yuhe stepped onto the flying boat in a single stride.
Xie Mingyuan pinched an incantation formula, and the flying boat turned into a stream of light, continuing to fly towards the distance.
Standing on the flying boat, Zhang Yuhe asked,
"Senior Brother, I wonder if the two Old Ancestors, Wu Yingguang and Xiong Yuanzhong, are still in the Sect?"
As far as he knew, Yu Fantian had birthed a total of three Ascension Cultivators.
However, aside from Xie Mingyuan, he had completely not heard any news about the other two people.
That was why he asked.
Xie Mingyuan remained silent for quite a while before slowly speaking,
"Senior Brother Wu Yingguang died in the Immortal Tribulation of the Chaos Continent as early as eight hundred thousand years ago."
"As for Senior Brother Xiong Yuanzhong."
Speaking of Xiong Yuanzhong, Xie Mingyuan's mood seemed extremely heavy.
He paused for a moment before continuing,
"When I first arrived in the Immortal Realm, Senior Brother Xiong was already in the Late Stage of the True Immortal Realm."
"My ability to gain a firm foothold in the Immortal Realm relied entirely on Senior Brother Xiong's continuous support all the way."
"It is just a pity that ten thousand years ago, when Senior Brother Xiong went out to seek fated opportunity, he suddenly and accidentally perished."
"After many investigations, I suspect that the Ouyang Family harmed Senior Brother Xiong to death."
Mentioning the Ouyang Family, Xie Mingyuan's tone carried an obvious and boundless hatred.
"Senior Brother, can you be certain it is the Ouyang Family?"
"It is almost certain."
"Take it slow; we will definitely be able to avenge Senior Brother Xiong in the future."
Although Zhang Yuhe had never met Xiong Yuanzhong in person, as fellow Ascension Cultivators of the Yufantian Dao Saint Sect,
as long as there was an fated opportunity, he naturally could not easily let go of this grudge.
What was even more important was that the Ouyang Family and the Qian Family had always been eyeing the Dao Saint Sect covetously.
As a member of the Dao Saint Sect, he probably couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to.
Sooner or later, a fight would break out.
In Zhang Yuhe's little notebook, a big cross had long been drawn across the Ouyang Family and the Qian Family.
Hearing Zhang Yuhe's words, a look of approval appeared in Xie Mingyuan's eyes.
Perhaps the previous topic was too heavy.
After the two finished speaking, they did not continue communicating.
Xie Mingyuan controlled the flying boat while sitting cross-legged on it, his eyes slightly closed.
Zhang Yuhe also sat cross-legged and began to silently cultivation.
The journey from Yunfei Island to Ji'an Market was extremely distant.
Even though Xie Mingyuan's flying boat was a Low-Grade Immortal Artifact, it still required more than half a year of flight time to reach Ji'an Market.
With such a long time, naturally they would not stay idle.
For Cultivators, Cultivating was competing with the heavens for life.
Even upon reaching the True Immortal Realm, it was still the same.
A True Immortal's Lifespan was a million years, which seemed long, but for many people, it was completely not enough.
Therefore, once settled down, no one dared to slack off even a bit.
life is endless, Cultivation never stops.
...
After flying continuously for five months,
Zhang Yuhe discovered that Xie Mingyuan beside him suddenly stood up.
He also hurriedly stood up along with him.
He saw a stream of light in the distance rapidly approaching them.
A huge flying boat emerged from the horizon.
The flying boat looked like a warship, swiftly cutting across the the void and appearing in front of the two people in an instant.
Zhang Yuhe raised his head and looked at the flying boat opposite them.
He saw that the figures on the flying boat were bustling, numbering as many as several hundred, among whom were also five True Immortal Cultivators.
At this moment, a youth in white clothes, radiating a powerful aura all over his body,
revealed his figure from the flying boat and asked towards their side,
"Ahead is Fellow Daoist Xie of the Dao Saint Sect, is it not?"
Xie Mingyuan's expression was expressionless as he responded indifferently,
"Xie Mingyuan of the Dao Saint Sect greets Fellow Daoist Ouyang."
The youth in white clothes was full of smiles, just like encountering an old friend of many years.
"I heard that Fellow Daoist Xie has already comprehended the Law to the entry level; this younger brother congratulates you here."
"A slight bit of progress, not worth mentioning."
After the youth in white clothes failed to get any interesting response from Xie Mingyuan, he turned his head to look at Zhang Yuhe.
"The Fellow Daoist beside you looks somewhat unfamiliar; I wonder how to address you?"
Zhang Yuhe cupped his hands and said,
"Zhang Yuhe of the Dao Saint Sect greets Fellow Daoist Ouyang."
However, before waiting for the other party to respond, Xie Mingyuan beside him spoke up,
"If Fellow Daoist Ouyang has no other matters, then we will be leaving first."
After Xie Mingyuan finished speaking, he pinched an incantation formula, and the flying boat rapidly turned into a stream of light, continuing to fly forward.
Zhang Yuhe could tell that Xie Mingyuan had completely no intention of paying attention to the other party.
After a good while, he asked,
"Senior Brother, were those people just now from the Ouyang Family?"
Xie Mingyuan replied,
"Mn, that person just now was called Ouyang Lihe, also with the cultivation base of the Late Stage of the True Immortal Realm."
"In the future when you walk outside alone, you must pay special attention to the people of the Ouyang Family. They are all smiling tigers who like to stab people in the back."
"Just now they probably wanted to make a move, but later they estimated they lacked certainty, so they gave up."
Hearing these words, Zhang Yuhe remained silent and speechless.
Has it already reached this point?
Once both sides meet, they make a move as long as there is an fated opportunity?
However, after thinking about it, he was relieved.
Because he was also like this.
If he encountered people from the Ouyang Family, as long as there was an fated opportunity to beat them to death with a single stick,
then he wouldn't mind beating the dogs to death.
