Ch 297: Tragic Jiu Youming
Long Liunian had just returned to Lingyun City when he saw two streams of light, one yellow and one red, heading in the direction he had just come from. His heart sank. Two Golden Core experts, could it be that Xin Daoyuan had returned! He didn’t dare to extend his Divine Sense, covering his body with Extreme Yang Divine Sense, while simultaneously circulating the Blending with the World Technique. This technique was a secret art from the Human Realm Path Reincarnation Scripture. Although he couldn’t cultivate the Human Realm Path Reincarnation Scripture, it wasn’t difficult to use this secret art.
He quickly took out several Spiritual Medicines from his Storage Ring and returned to the clinic as if nothing had happened.
Slant-Eyed Dragon, relying on the Tracking Disk, arrived at a valley, only to see a bottle of Elixir emitting a faint glow in the woods. He punched the large tree in front of him, and with a creak, the tree broke in half.
“There’s something to him. This person’s Divine Sense is very strong, and he was actually able to detect us tracking him!”
Feng Ling nodded. “The Tracking Disk can find the Divine Sense that Senior Martial Nephew Cheng Tian left on the Elixir, but it was actually discovered! You have to know that those are all Grade Three and Four Elixirs, and that person just threw them away like that!”
“It doesn’t matter, that person probably hasn’t gone far. I don’t believe that we can’t find him even if we search every inch of this place for a hundred miles!” Saying that, he quickly soared into the sky.
On the edge of where the Lingyan Holy Temple was located, there was a vast and precipitous Duantian Mountain Range. This mountain range was winding and tortuous, with overlapping peaks, like a giant dragon lying on the earth. And in its depths was an extremely hidden mountain col. This mountain col was obscured by lush vegetation, and if one wasn’t deliberately looking for it, it would be difficult to find a mysterious Cave Dwelling hidden within.
At this moment, a dazzling golden light shone from the Cave Dwelling. As the light gradually converged, a young man in black long clothes slowly revealed his figure. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and his face was handsome. His figure was as straight as a pine tree. At this moment, he slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze swept around like two bolts of lightning. Feeling the extremely rich Spiritual Energy around him, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a satisfied smile: “Haha, I have finally come to the Holy World! It really lives up to its name. The concentration of Spiritual Energy here is simply worlds apart from the Mortal Realm!” After saying that, he took two deep breaths of this pure and abundant Spiritual Energy, and felt that all the pores in his body were stretched open, and he was incomparably comfortable all over.
After a short pause, the young man walked out of the Cave Dwelling. This person was none other than Jiu Youming.
After walking out of the Cave Dwelling, Jiu Youming looked into the distance, and saw the magnificent Muyun Holy Land not far ahead. Looking from afar, he could see many buildings in this Holy Land suspended in the air, with aerial pavilions standing in rows. In addition, there were also some uniquely shaped, huge Mechanical Armor flashing with cold light shuttling between them, showing an advanced level of technology.
Jiu Youming stared at the scene in front of him, and muttered to himself: “The technology of this Muyun Holy Land is really extraordinary! Just the construction technology of that Sky City, and the manufacturing process of those advanced Mecha, are by no means comparable to the Lower Realm. If I can bring these technologies back to the Mortal Realm, I will definitely be able to realize the ideal of unification!” Thinking of this, Jiu Youming couldn’t help but feel excited and full of pride. However, at this time, he was completely unaware that a strange blood-colored stream of light was shooting towards him from behind at an alarming speed…
Jiu Youming took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and made a powerful cheering gesture. Then, he quickly took out a Mid-Level Vermilion Bird Armor from his Storage Ring. This set of Mecha was made of sturdy and lightweight alloy, and the surface was engraved with exquisite Rune patterns, exuding a palpitating powerful aura.
Jiu Youming skillfully put the Vermilion Bird Armor on his body, and instantly merged with the Mecha. As a low roar sounded, the huge Mechanical Wings behind the Vermilion Bird Armor suddenly unfolded and began to swing at high speed. However, what was unexpected was that although the Mechanical Wings of the Vermilion Bird Armor kept flapping, Jiu Youming’s figure was firmly stuck in place as if he had been subjected to a Body Immobilization Spell, and there was no sign of movement at all.
Just as Jiu Youming was full of doubts, suddenly, an extremely cold voice came from behind him like a cold current: “Boy, where do you think you’re going?” This voice seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hells, with endless chill and pressure.
Jiu Youming’s heart trembled, and he quickly turned around. He saw an old man with Slant Eyes and a long beard standing not far away. This old man was wearing a green Lingyan Holy Temple uniform. At this moment, his Slant Eyes revealed a fierce gaze, staring at Jiu Youming.
Jiu Youming was shocked, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He suppressed the fear in his heart and said in a trembling voice: “Junior Jiu Youming greets Senior! I don’t know what Senior’s orders are? I hope Senior will calm down…”
Slant-Eyed Dragon grinned, “Boy, you’re brave enough, you’re actually acting so much like him?”
“You killed Cheng Tian with the power of this Mid-Level Vermilion Bird Armor, right? No wonder you look down on those Elixirs refined by Cheng Tian!” Slant-Eyed Dragon said lightly.
Jiu Youming heard this and quickly argued, “Senior, is there some misunderstanding? I am Jiu Youming, and I just entered from the Mortal Realm today! You are the first person I have met! I…”
“Shut up, don’t think you can fool me! There’s only you here for a hundred miles around! If it’s not you, who else could it be?” Slant-Eyed Dragon interrupted. His hands didn’t slow down at all, and he tore off the Mechanical Wings of the Vermilion Bird Armor.
“A mere Mid-Level Mecha, how dare you act presumptuously in front of me!” A violent Artistic Conception spread out, and the surrounding Spiritual Energy also became violent!
Jiu Youming immediately felt the Spiritual Energy in his body go berserk, and spat out a mouthful of blood. Although the combat power of a Mid-Level Mecha was no less than that of the Golden Core Stage, the premise was that the Cultivator driving it had a high enough Cultivation! He was only at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage, and the Spiritual Power in his body was far from enough to stimulate the combat power of this Mecha.
Jiu Youming cursed his bad luck, and was dragged by Slant-Eyed Dragon, constantly smashing into the ground, spitting out blood continuously.
He said intermittently, “Senior, Senior, calm down! This Junior’s Old Ancestor is Jiu Youluo, please, Senior, show some face to this Junior’s Old Ancestor and let this Junior finish speaking!”
Slant-Eyed Dragon’s expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he immediately stopped the movements in his hands.
“Jiu Youluo, Fallen Flower Palm!”
Jiu Youming nodded when he heard this, raised his hand and waved his palm, stirring up a sky full of fallen leaves. With a bang, a large tree broke in half, and then thousands of flying fallen leaves turned into sharp blades and fell to the ground!
“Fallen Flower Palm, Falling Leaves Kill! You are indeed his descendant! But so what, even if he comes in person, what can he do to me? Kid, prepare to die!” Saying that, he took out a Great Sword and slashed fiercely at Jiu Youming.
Feeling the earth-shattering power, Jiu Youming’s eyes revealed despair. He hardened his heart and took out a Jade Slip from his Storage Ring and crushed it.
A plain-looking palm print flew out of the Jade Slip to meet the Great Sword.
With a loud bang, the Blade Qi shattered and the palm print dissipated.
Slant-Eyed Dragon took a few steps back, “Golden Core Great Completion!”
In front of Jiu Youming, a withered old man’s phantom appeared, “Fellow Daoist, this is my great-grandson, if there is any offense, please give this old man some face!”
Slant-Eyed Dragon calmed down when he heard this. This person was really a descendant of Jiu Youluo. Although his Cultivation was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he had no practical combat experience at all. He really didn’t look like that person.
Feng Ling noticed the movement and flew over quickly. Seeing this scene, he quickly came to Slant-Eyed Dragon’s side, “So it’s Senior Jiu Youluo, my Martial Brother has offended you!”
“Martial Brother, what are you doing? He’s just a Divided Soul phantom, why are we afraid of him?” Slant-Eyed Dragon said indignantly.
“Martial Brother, with this person’s strength, even with a Mecha, he can’t possibly be Senior Martial Nephew Cheng Tian’s opponent! Why do you deceive yourself!” Feng Ling said.
“Humph!” Slant-Eyed Dragon’s thoughts were exposed, and he turned and left.
Feng Ling smiled at Jiu Youming, “Little Friend Jiu Youming, please don’t be offended, my Martial Brother was just angry for a moment, don’t take it to heart!”
Jiu Youming thought to himself, angry for a moment? Every move he made was trying to kill me. If you had come one step later, I would be dead! But the people in front of him were all experts of the same realm as his great-grandfather, how dare he be presumptuous! He nodded with a wry smile.
