The Transmigrator's Cultivation

Chapter 80 - Arc 7: Dragon Ascension Gate | Chapter 80: Provocation of Wuliang Sect

When Tang Wenfei saw this, he smiled, and said three times: “Okay, okay, okay!” He laughed, saying, “It’s not easy for you to have such a cultivation level, so let’s stand over there too.”

The ten geniuses were overjoyed when they heard this, and after clasping their fists together, they stood beside those six people just now.

Ten people left, and another ten people came, but this time, five people radiated crimson light, and the other five people were all medium red, and their colors were quite similar.

After dozens of people passed by, the color of the Juling Tongbao gradually turned light red. These people have been able to cultivate beyond the ninth level of Qi Refining, but their foundations are not stable, or they are far inferior to others.

However, they had been prepared for a long time. These monks who were dismissed showed no resentment. Even though they secretly harbored some fear, they repressed it because they knew that it was truly no match and that they should take advantage of these favorable conditions to tap into the third-level spiritual vein. Anyway, it’s not in vain.

Eight people from the Loose Cultivator Alliance came, except for Xu Ziqing, Su Xin, and Zhuo Hanyan, the other five actually had the Ran Xingjian, which was almost the tenth level of Qi Refining, and the other four turned the Juling Tongbao into a medium red; and so on. In the end, all of them stayed, and not one of them failed.

As the Young Leader of Loose Cultivator Alliance, Su Xin looked at his cultivation brothers and sisters, and Xu Ziqing with joy.

After everyone finished testing, Tang Wenfei was about to speak again, but someone suddenly said: “Although fellow Taoist Xu Ziqing chose to enter with a spiritual root, he also has the ninth level of Qi refining. Give it a try?”

Xu Ziqing didn’t expect someone to call his name, so he was slightly taken aback.

Su Xin frowned and said, “It turns out he is a Wuliang Sect member, no wonder he is so hateful!”

Xu Ziqing was familiar with the Wuliang Sect, which was known for seizing any major chance. Subsequently, the progenitors of the Loose Cultivator Alliance established the Loose Cultivator Alliance, which has since gained a strong foothold in Upper Luzhou. This has caused the Wuliang Sect to harbor a great deal of resentment towards the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and the two factions often clash in small skirmishes.

When Xu Ziqing glanced over, he noticed a haughty youth wearing luxurious garments. He recalled that this individual had emitted a light red glow previously, so he was likely not qualified to stay. Therefore, this young man was very dissatisfied.

Su Xin said from the side: “This guy is the great-grandson of the Wuliang Sect Head. He reached the ninth level of Qi refinement by taking drugs. He is very frivolous. This time, you can learn more about the real Wuliang Sect genius, Zhang Chi. He is already an expert at the tenth level of Qi refining.”

The Wuliang Sect Master’s Grandson guessed that Xu Ziqing was only twenty years old. He had never heard of it before, so he must be a casual cultivator who just joined the Loose Cultivator Alliance. So he definitely didn’t get many resources, and he cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining, mostly because of his spiritual roots. Loose Cultivator Alliances could never force him to improve his cultivation, and his foundation could never be solidified. Now the Loose Cultivation Alliance has two single spiritual roots, although their Wuliang Sect is not afraid of shame. Su Xin is at the eighth level of Qi Refining and is difficult to offend. But with Xu Ziqing, they can humiliate him.

That arrogant young man was not adept at cultivation and had many scheming thoughts. When he saw this opportunity, he arrogantly teased Xu Ziqing, not even afraid.

Tang Wenfei noticed it and frowned a little, but he remained silent because he was also curious about Xu Ziqing’s foundation. Single spiritual roots are uncommon, but in this small world, they could exist. He wasn’t sure if such skills and attributes were wasted.

Everyone from the Wuliang Sect and Loose Cultivator Alliance had thought of the same thing, with the exception of Su Xin, who was only filled with rage at the injustice. The other six disciples of the Loose Cultivator Alliance knew that they were all good and unharmed, so they all cast their worried eyes on them.

Xu Ziqing reciprocated the smile and nodded. Instead of paying attention to the arrogant young man, he turned to Tang Wenfei and said, “Senior Tang, I also have the same intention. Could you make an exception for me?”

Tang Wenfei chuckled and replied, “Sure, the sparring is over, you all can go and have fun.” With his words, not only Xu Ziqing but anyone who entered without a spiritual root was allowed to participate in trying the Juling Tongbao.

Su Xin grinned mischievously, “In that case, Brother Ziqing, as the younger one, I should go all out first, shouldn’t I?” Xu Ziqing playfully responded, “Then Brother Axin should go ahead and invite you.”

Su Xin swirled his robe sleeves and hurriedly approached. His actions were simple as he merely spat out a blue flame from his mouth, charging straight towards the Juling Tongbao. The mirror of Juling Tongbao shimmered with blue light, engulfing the fiery pillar, and in an instant, a dazzling brilliance burst forth.

It was a golden light!

On the Juling Tongbao, the eighth level of the Qi Refining turns yellow, and when it becomes exceptionally dense, it turns golden. The color Su Xin achieved was gold and yellow. It was evident that he had opened more than half of his acupoints. With continued practice, he would be able to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining. Moreover, his foundation was solid, bearing no resemblance to someone who had just cleansed their spiritual roots.

Knowing what Su Xin desired, Xu Ziqing stepped forward as well. He pondered for a moment, raised two fingers, and silently focused his thoughts.

Everyone witnessed a green light suddenly appear on his fingertips, which swiftly transformed into a green light ball. With a gentle touch, it morphed into a green beam of light, precisely hitting the opposite side of the Juling Tongbao with a “swish.”

The Juling Tongbao was struck directly and instantly turned red, transitioning from light red to medium red, with the color deepening until it settled at a deep red hue.

Although this red was not as rich as the previous few manifestations that were almost purple, it was still magnificent, resembling the scorching sun.

Being able to manifest the Juling Tongbao in such a way showcased Xu Ziqing’s accumulated strength, with no signs of an unstable foundation.

Indeed, Xu Ziqing had experienced numerous hardships since stepping into the realm of immortals, including having his dantian abolished. Fortunately, by absorbing the essence of Ethereal Wood, he managed to repair his dantian and return to the path of immortality.

Furthermore, the wood energy within his body far exceeded that of individuals with similar attributes. Not to mention the legendary cultivation technique “Ten Thousand Woods Great Heart Planting Technique” he practiced and the purification of spiritual energy through his single spiritual root. Through various trials and unceasing practice, he had finally achieved his current level of cultivation.

It could be said that Xu Ziqing’s current cultivation was the result of hard work. While he had encountered some strokes of luck, the majority of his progress was achieved through sheer effort. With such experiences and a solid foundation, the provocation from the Wuliang Sect had miscalculated its effect.

Upon witnessing the impressive performances of Su Xin and Xu Ziqing, Tang Wenfei’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction. However, the other monks were not oblivious. Those with discerning eyes could discern the truth and naturally chose not to participate in the spectacle. Therefore, there were no other candidates with spiritual roots willing to “try” the Juling Tongbao, as they laughed and declined.

The actions of Xu Ziqing and Su Xin dealt a severe blow to the morale of the Wuliang Sect. The members of the Loose Cultivation Alliance, who had previously shown concern, were relieved and now displayed joy.

The members of the Wuliang Sect glared bitterly at the members of the Loose Cultivator Alliance but refrained from saying anything further. While there were many contradictions between the two factions, the futile effort made it pointless to continue the confrontation.

At this moment, Tang Wenfei smiled once again. “Currently, there are fifty-two winners in the Wendou competition, and the Wudou will commence tomorrow. As for today… it’s getting late. You can each choose your own caves and replenish your energy.” With a wave of his sleeves, the world before everyone’s eyes transformed once again.

Previously, a dense cloud and mist enveloped the surroundings, resembling a milky-white screen, obscuring any view of the scenery. However, after Tang Wenfei’s wave, the clouds and mist suddenly dissipated.

Instantly, an incredibly potent spiritual energy rushed into their nostrils, as if the entire person was immersed in the dense spiritual energy, with every pore eagerly breathing it in. Undoubtedly, this was a third-order spirit vein!

In the small world of Haotian, there had never been a third-order spirit vein. Even if the San Xiumeng happened to obtain a spirit vein, it was merely a small spirit vein below the third order.

Therefore, no one was aware of the astonishing aura emitted by a third-order spirit vein. From a closer look, the aura was so powerful that it seemed to materialize into long, ethereal dragons, freely roaming the mountains.

Astonished, the monks raised their eyes and looked ahead, only to be struck by another wave of awe!

Just beyond the dissipating cloud, a bare mountain wall stretched out in a straight line.

Numerous caves had been meticulously carved into the mountain wall, scattered in a way that was neither crowded nor cramped. Although the caves themselves appeared ordinary, their size and width were precisely measured, and the chisel marks suggested the use of immortal techniques.

It was simply baffling to contemplate the advanced cultivation level and magical techniques required to create these caves. Truly, it was a sight to behold!

After spending only half a day in Tenglong Peak, they have already witnessed a myriad of extraordinary sights. No matter how much pride one had harbored in the past, it would all fade away in the face of such wonders.

Tang Wenfei lightly tapped the few caves at the highest point and said, “Those with single spiritual roots may take the top caves. There are no restrictions for the rest of you. Let’s all go!” His words trailed off, and the proud sons didn’t say much.

Without needing further thought, it was clear that since the caves were carved into the mountain wall, the third-order spirit veins must be concealed within.

Whether it was someone who had already lost in the Wendou competition or someone preparing for tomorrow’s Wudou, the former didn’t want to waste any more time, while the latter needed to meticulously prepare in order to excel… They all wanted to enter a cave as soon as possible, eager to begin their cultivation.

In the next moment, hundreds of beams of light rose from the ground, all converging on the caves simultaneously.

Xu Ziqing and Su Xin stood their ground, not competing with others.

After a while, the proud sons had made their cave selections. Xu Zitang and a few others with dual spiritual roots were led by their teacher as they soared into the air.

At this moment, Su Xin smiled and said, “It’s up to us, Brother Ziqing.”

Xu Ziqing returned the smile.

One after another, they employed their techniques—Xu Ziqing sprouted green leaves, while Su Xin stepped on his birth fire—and they both ascended… gradually distancing themselves from the ground and passing by the caves below until they reached the peak. Finally, they arrived at the summit.

Only four or five caves remained at the top of the peak. Elder Wu and Elder Peng occupied one cave together, while Xu Ziqing and Su Xin stood on the left and right sides of the two elders, providing protection.

With such a favorable living space, Xu Ziqing smiled at Su Xin and entered his own cave. Stepping inside, a new sensation enveloped him.
