437: Return to the Hidden Dragon Sect

Not long after, Guo Feng and the crew arrived in front of Qianlong Sect.

The barrier of Qianlong Sect was dazzling.

It isolated all fierce beasts and humans.

At this moment, some cultivators were exploring nearby, and a few individuals were carefully attacking the formation.

However, they only had Level 30 cultivation.

If the Qianlong Sect's barrier hadn't initiated a counterattack, they would likely have already been injured by the shock.

"This place isn't somewhere you can come; go somewhere else."

Guo Feng and Nine-tailed Red Fox stood suspended in the sky.

Their voices quickly reached the ears of these individuals.

"Ah?"

"Flying in mid-air?"

"Such a powerful aura!"

These cultivators were startled when they saw them, intimidated by their aura.

They quickly turned and fled.

"Back then, I was like this too."

Guo Feng smiled, and with a wave of his hand, a gap opened in the barrier, and both of them immediately flew in.

As soon as they entered, the gap in the barrier completely closed.

"Master, I sense that there should be fragments of the Eastern Azure Dragon Soul beneath this abyss, which is why it was able to nurture the black dragon from before."

They flew over the suspension bridge in front of the sect, and Nine-tailed Red Fox glanced at the abyss below, then quickly said.

"I actually guessed that too."

Guo Feng nodded, because he had also sensed a powerful aura beneath this abyss before.

He didn't know what it was previously.

However, after Nine-tailed Red Fox mentioned the guardian divine beasts of Haotian Nine Provinces and the fragments of the divine beasts' souls scattered throughout Haotian Nine Provinces, he had already figured it out.

Nevertheless, he was still a bit curious and couldn't help but say, "According to what you said when you came before, I roughly deduce that Jinghua Spirit Realm should be in the north, guarded by the Northern Black Tortoise."

"My Qingcheng Spirit Realm should be guarded by the Southern Fire Phoenix."

"The remaining Western White Tiger and Eastern Azure Dragon should respectively guard the spirit realms located in the east, west, south, and north of our Huaxia."

He then asked, "Why is there still a remnant soul of the Eastern Azure Dragon in our Qingcheng Spirit Realm?"

"Because when the divine beasts fell and Haotian Nine Provinces shattered, their remnant souls instantly broke apart and scattered across the various great divine provinces."

Nine-tailed Red Fox quickly explained, "Therefore, the difficulty of recovering them is extremely high."

"That's true."

Guo Feng frowned. Haotian Nine Provinces shattered into eighty-one divine provinces, transforming into the current spirit realms.

And now, Huaxia only knows of fewer than sixty spirit realms.

Each spirit realm has a spatial barrier that cannot be crossed.

To traverse the entire Haotian Nine Provinces and collect all the divine beast souls is not something one person can accomplish.

He waved his hand, "However, our Huaxia has a large population, many cultivators, and is very united, so manpower shouldn't be an issue. The main thing is, how many of these divine beast souls are there? We need a goal."

"I don't know that."

Nine-tailed Red Fox quickly shook her head.

"It's fine, we are not alone. We also have the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Although our Huaxia's cultivation civilization isn't strong enough, our technological civilization is quite good."

Guo Feng waved his hand and said calmly.

He was not in a hurry either.

Restoring Haotian Nine Provinces and reactivating Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is an extremely vast project.

And it's not entirely his responsibility alone.

As they were speaking, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the depths of Qianlong Sect, precisely from the barrier where Guo Feng had previously obtained the Great Five Elements Emperor Qi.

There were also roars like those of raging fierce beasts.

"Xu Jing, you've suppressed me for tens of thousands of years, but after today, you'll never be able to trap me again!"

"Ayanam, even if it means my last drop of life essence, I will utterly annihilate you!"

"Gah gah gah… If you could have annihilated me, you would have done so tens of thousands of years ago. Why wait until now?"

Subsequently, deafening roars emanated from that direction.

"The Evil Demon wants to break the seal. Go, seal him!"

Guo Feng's heart trembled.

Clearly, the demonic energy of the Evil Demon King from before had given these Ancient Demons power, and they were beginning to break their seals.

"Yes."

Nine-tailed Red Fox also quickly nodded.

Then, they accelerated, and soon crossed the several-kilometer-long sea of clouds.

Roar, roar, roar…

As soon as they arrived, they saw the Teng Snake that Guo Feng had previously subdued, roaring angrily.

Above the palace, flashes of lightning flickered.

And Five Elements Qi.

The lightning and Five Elements Qi continuously clashed with the black energy conjured by Ayanam.

Sometimes transforming into palms, sometimes into large blades.

Lights burst forth.

There was a feeling of heaven and earth shaking.

And the barrier also seemed to be on the verge of breaking, showing many cracks.

The light of Ancient Undead Xu Jing was clearly much weaker.

"Red Fox, you go repair the barrier, I'll help Xu Jing!"

After Guo Feng finished speaking, he directly rushed into the ancient palace barrier, immediately sensing an overwhelming and terrifying aura.

This had completely surpassed the power of the mortal rank.

Of course, Guo Feng was not foolish; the moment he rushed in, he had already summoned the Great Dao Profound Heart Order.

From the Great Dao Profound Heart Order, streams of aura surged out, forming a barrier that resisted all external forces.

At the same time, his divine sense also communicated with the formation of Qianlong Sect.

Waves of lightning power from the formation were amplified onto his body.

"Xu Jing, I'm here to help you!"

He shouted loudly, stating his intention, then waved his hand to release bursts of formation lightning power, striking those black demonic energies.

"It's you again, you ant!"

"If I had known, I would have killed you with all my might back then!"

"How dare you defy the majesty of this Demon King?"

Ayanam was utterly enraged and immediately split off a powerful demonic energy, charging towards Guo Feng.

The demonic energy transformed into a demonic face, looking ferocious, bloody, and terrifying.

Carrying a rolling foul wind.

As soon as it charged over, it immediately shattered the formation lightning power released by Guo Feng.

The demonic face instantly collided with the barrier in front of Guo Feng.

With a boom!

The demonic face was immediately shattered by the power of the Great Dao Profound Heart Order.

"Ah—it's the aura of an Immortal King! How can a tiny ant have the aura of an Immortal King?"

Ayanam exclaimed in surprise.

"Ayanam, with this little brother's help, do you still think you can escape? Today, I will sacrifice my life to slay you!"

"Tens of thousands of years of entanglement, it ends here!"

Xu Jing emitted a desolate and sorrowful aura, and his spiritual power immediately transformed into countless sword lights.

These sword lights contained dazzling lightning and surging Five Elements Qi, possessing infinite power.

When he finished speaking, thousands of sword lights instantly shot out like a fierce storm.

At the same time, Xu Jing's voice came to Guo Feng's ears: "Little brother, I sense that you seem to have the haotian imprint on you. My Three Thousand Limitless Sword Dao technique can suppress this Ayanam. Afterward, I will gather my tens of thousands of years of true essence into an Demon Subduing Talisman and integrate it into your haotian imprint. The Demon Subduing Talisman, imbued with the haotian imprint, will surely kill this Ayanam. At that time, you must withstand the power of this Demon Subduing Talisman until Ayanam dissipates."

"What?"

Guo Feng was stunned for a moment.

Was Xu Jing going to sacrifice himself to kill the Evil Demon?

Just as he was lost in thought, Ayanam also let out an urgent roar from his side.

At the same time, Xu Jing's ethereal body suddenly shone brightly.

Beginning to condense!
