206: rude

Qianling Domain.

Lingyuan Prefecture.

"Old Ancestor, we're almost there."

Zhou Leren compared the two maps in his hand.

One was the beast skin map.

The other was a map of Lingyuan Prefecture that Zhou Leren bought in a market after entering the Qianling Domain.

This was to better confirm their location.

"Old Ancestor, this Five Elements Sect Legacy is actually in this barren land without Spiritual Qi."

Zhou Leren looked at the location marked on the beast skin map, which was also marked as a barren land without Spiritual Qi on the map he bought from the market.

In barren lands without Spiritual Qi, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is sparse, making it unsuitable for Cultivators to cultivate and live.

Moreover, without Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, the consumption of magical power can only be replenished by Medicinal Pills and Spirit Stones.

Generally speaking, Cultivators would not be willing to go to such a barren land.

"Seas turn into mulberry fields, years flow by, anything is possible, it's not surprising."

Mo Xuan's calm voice echoed in Zhou Leren's mind.

Zhou Leren nodded.

Behind him.

Zhou Mingyi and the others grew more and more puzzled.

The location for this trial was too far away.

However, with Zhou Leren leading them, although they had doubts, they all suppressed them.

Along the way, although there were some minor incidents, they did not affect the Zhou Family members.

Outside the barren land without Spiritual Qi in Lingyuan Prefecture.

The cyan spirit boat suddenly stopped.

"Strange."

Zhou Leren frowned slightly.

He had just sensed several Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator Auras also heading towards this barren land, just like him.

"Great-Grandfather, have we arrived?"

Zhou Mingyi stood up and came behind Zhou Leren, feeling the sparse Spiritual Qi around her, which made her slightly uncomfortable.

However, in a moment, she adjusted.

Zhou Mingrui and Zhou Mingyuan and the other two were also the same.

"Still a little bit more."

"Ahead is a barren land without Spiritual Qi, pay attention to the consumption of your magical power."

Zhou Leren shook his head and instructed them.

They nodded in agreement.

"We'll know once we go in and see."

Mo Xuan transmitted his voice.

Zhou Leren slowed down the cyan spirit boat and flew into this barren land without Spiritual Qi.

Indeed.

As soon as they entered.

Zhou Mingyi and the others felt the Spiritual Qi becoming even scarcer.

Their Cultivation Technique could no longer absorb the free-floating Spiritual Qi from the air.

Fortunately, Zhou Leren was controlling the spirit boat, so they didn't need to expend their own magical power.

"Whoosh~"

The spirit boat flew past.

Zhou Leren took out a High-Grade Spirit Stone.

He constantly converted the spiritual power contained within it into his own consumed magical power.

This was to ensure his magical power remained at its Peak state.

"Buzz~"

They flew for an unknown duration.

Ahead, different Auras were surging.

Zhou Leren frowned slightly, thinking to himself.

"I hope nothing unexpected happens..."

Zhou Mingyi and the others had also sensed the clashing Auras in the distance ahead.

Although they were all somewhat nervous, they didn't ask any more questions, only exchanging glances.

This mission was unusual, and the family must have had other arrangements.

Zhou Leren took out the two maps again and confirmed them once more.

The location marked on the beast skin map was indeed the direction from which the Auras were clashing.

"Let's see the situation first."

Zhou Leren waved his hand, putting away the map, and controlled the spirit boat to fly forward.

Zhou Leren's Divine Sense spread out.

In the distance, a semi-circular glow enveloped the ground.

In front of the glow, more than ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators were divided into two factions, in a standoff.

"This place is the territory of my Yin Luo Sect, Fellow Daoists, please retreat quickly."

On one side, a Gloomy Elder in black robes, wearing a token with the character 'Yin', exuded a cold Aura and spoke grimly to the several Foundation Establishment Cultivators on the other side.

Behind him, six Yin Luo Sect Foundation Establishment Cultivators of different ages and appearances also exuded a cold Aura.

The other side consisted of people dressed differently, clearly not from the same sect or clan.

At this moment, hearing the Elder's words, their expressions were not good.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, you Yin Luo Sect alone want to monopolize this Golden Core Legacy, I'm afraid that's far from enough."

At this moment.

An aged voice entered everyone's ears.

A tall Cultivator with white robes and white hair appeared from behind.

His Aura surged, contending equally with the Gloomy Elder.

"Wu Mianzi, you also want to get involved in this muddy water?"

The Gloomy Elder's face sank, but he did not back down an inch.

"What a joke, the Dao of Golden Core is right before us, how can I not contend for it?"

The white-robed Wu Mianzi sneered.

The expressions of the several Foundation Establishment Cultivators dressed differently changed, each having different thoughts.

"It's better to stir up trouble..."

"Senior Wu Mianzi."

They saluted the newcomer.

Wu Mianzi accepted it calmly, coming before them.

Wu Mianzi didn't care about the thoughts of these people.

It was just mutual utilization.

Without these people, he alone truly couldn't contend with the Yin Luo Sect.

"Good, then let's each rely on our own abilities."

The Yin Luo Sect Elder was silent for a moment. This Wu Mianzi was quite powerful, having been immersed in the Late Foundation Establishment Stage for many years, making him difficult to deal with.

However, he cursed inwardly.

"Damn it, how did the news leak out?"

A Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Elder of the Yin Luo Sect was chasing a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator who had offended the Yin Luo Sect.

He pursued him into this barren land without Spiritual Qi.

He accidentally triggered this Formation.

Sensing the Aura within, the Yin Luo Sect Elder was overjoyed.

So he brought the news back to the Yin Luo Sect.

He just didn't expect the news to leak out.

Leading to the current situation.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators behind Wu Mianzi's faces lit up with joy, looking at the distant glow, their hearts burning.

"Golden Core Legacy, even if we don't get the most precious Golden Core Inheritance, the other Spells, scriptures, Spiritual Artifacts, and other treasures are definitely worth a lot."

"Moreover, who knows, there might be an opportunity to fish in troubled waters then, and that Golden Core Inheritance might not necessarily fall into our hands..."

The thoughts of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators raced.

"Hmm?"

The Gloomy Elder of the Yin Luo Sect and Wu Mianzi suddenly changed their expressions.

"Someone else is coming?"

"An outsider?"

This Aura was very unfamiliar, not any Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator they knew, and their cultivation was not weak.

The Gloomy Elder and Wu Mianzi exchanged glances.

The moment the cyan spirit boat appeared.

The two suddenly attacked.

"Yin Qi Long River."

"Three Thousand Sorrows of Separation."

In front of the Gloomy Elder, a black spiritual pearl, activated by his magical power, transformed into an endless river of cold Yin Qi, sweeping towards the cyan spirit boat with mighty force.

A whisk appeared in the hand of the white-robed, white-haired Wu Mianzi. The whisk moved with the wind, its three thousand white threads rapidly expanding, forming a large white net that also attacked the cyan spirit boat.

They had clearly sensed that the newcomer was a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, and to reduce a competitor for the Golden Core Inheritance, the two chose to attack together.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort came from within the spirit boat.

Then.

A five-story pagoda, dozens of feet high, descended from the sky.

"Suppress!"

The pagoda emitted five colors.

It suppressed the cold Yin Qi and the three thousand white threads beneath the pagoda, rendering them unable to move for a moment.

The Gloomy Elder and Wu Mianzi's expressions changed.

As their magical power was about to surge, they saw two golden circular wheels flash out from the cyan spirit boat, appearing before the two of them.

They had no time to worry about the pagoda.

The Gloomy Elder quickly set up a black barrier in front of him.

Wu Mianzi's wide sleeves fluttered as he waved them to block.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two soft sounds.

The black barrier in front of the Gloomy Elder shattered, and Wu Mianzi's sleeves slightly dimmed, both retreating several steps.

"A master!"

Their expressions darkened slightly.

As the golden light shone.

The cyan spirit boat had already arrived nearby.

On it were six people, with three golden circular wheels fluctuating behind the leader.

In his left hand, he held a five-colored pagoda, looking quite young and handsome.

"Fellow Daoists, how impolite."

Zhou Leren spoke calmly.

The Gloomy Elder and Wu Mianzi, even working together, had not gained any advantage over Zhou Leren.

Now seeing Zhou Leren withdraw his hand, they both calmed their surging magical power, retracted the cold Yin Qi and the three thousand white threads, and took out Spirit Stones to restore their magical power.

"This Fellow Daoist is quite unfamiliar, may I ask where you are from?"

Wu Mianzi did not answer. Seeing five Qi Refining Cultivators following behind Zhou Leren, he instead asked.

"Just passing by. Seeing that all Fellow Daoists were heading here, I came to join the fun."

Zhou Leren tossed his left hand, and the guizheng pagoda shrunk, re-hanging on his headband.

"..."

Hearing Zhou Leren's answer, the Gloomy Elder and Wu Mianzi were stunned, speechless for a moment.
