Avenue Stowaway

Chapter 198 The Decision of the Spiritual God Sect

Kong Fang watched from the side. Qing Ling practiced for more than half an hour before stopping. Although it was only more than half an hour, Qing Ling absorbed an astonishing amount of Dharma power.

Although the source of law can speed up the cultivation speed, it is too precious. Unless it is a cultivator who has a large amount of source of law, no one would be willing to use such a luxurious method to cultivate. Moreover, the premise of cultivating with the source of law is that the soul is strong enough. Without a strong enough soul, if you dare to absorb the source of law without limit, the final result is that the mana exceeds the control limit of the soul, and the body explodes and dies.

The spirit and soul are the root of everything.

Qing Ling floated down from the Qiangu Daotai gently and said to Kong Fang with a smile: "Big brother, you should also go to the Qiangu Daotai to practice for a while. It's very comfortable." As she spoke, her eyes curved slightly with a smile, forming two small crescents.

Kong Fang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I am now stuck in a bottleneck. Unless my soul can break through, it will be of no benefit to me to just absorb the source of law and refine the mana."

If the soul cannot break through, it will be useless no matter how much power you absorb, and it may even lead to danger.

Qing Ling was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Kong Fang in surprise: "Bottleneck? Is there a bottleneck in cultivation?" The childish voice was full of confusion and doubt.

Kong Fang almost bumped his head on the Qiangu Daotai. Who wouldn't encounter bottlenecks when embarking on the path of cultivation? Can one continue to cultivate smoothly? It is normal to have bottlenecks, but how come Qing Ling said that it is incredible to have bottlenecks?

"Ok?"

suddenly--

Kong Fang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qing Ling in surprise and asked: "Qing Ling, don't you have a bottleneck in your cultivation?"

"Yes." Qing Ling answered crisply, "As long as I practice, my cultivation will continue to improve. But the improvement is very slow." At the end, Qing Ling lowered his head a little embarrassedly. He crossed his hands in front of his chest, and his ten fingers were entangled with each other.

Kong Fang's expression suddenly became very rich. It was the first time he heard that someone had no bottleneck in cultivation. After he, a person with pure talent, broke through the bottleneck from the Entering Spirit Realm to the Ascending Spirit Realm, although his cultivation would be much easier in the future, it definitely did not mean that there was no bottleneck. It just meant that there would no longer be a terrible shackle like the Entering Spirit Realm that could hinder his progress.

As long as one's understanding is good enough and one practices hard enough, the bottlenecks of the realms above the Ascending Spiritual Realm can always be broken through. Unlike the bottleneck of the Entering Spiritual Realm, unless one has a heaven-defying opportunity, one will be trapped in the Entering Spiritual Realm for the rest of one's life.

The bottleneck of entering the spiritual realm actually has little to do with the cultivator himself. It is a shackle left by the Great Dao.

"Then, Qingling, what realm are you in now?" Kong Fang asked curiously, considering his tone.

"I don't know the details, but from what I know, I should be stronger than my elder brother now, probably in the Spiritual Ascension Realm." Qing Ling blinked her eyes a few times and said uncertainly.

Kong Fang: “…”

However, for a person without bottlenecks, it is really not easy to know his realm. Realm cannot fully represent strength. Cultivators like Chen Wandao and Zong Jue are much stronger than other peak-level cultivators in the Ascension Realm, but their realm is also the peak of the Ascension Realm. Kong Fang, even without the Silver Guard, is enough to fight against the late-stage Ascension Realm cultivators, but he only has the peak of the Entering Spirit Realm.

Kong Fang stopped asking about realms, otherwise he felt that he would also go berserk. In the past, other cultivators would be greatly shocked when they saw him, but today he met his nemesis, and was beaten to a pulp by Qing Ling, a six or seven-year-old girl.

Seeing that Qing Ling was not wary of him, Kong Fang asked the question that had been in his heart, "Qing Ling, is this really the Qingtian Tomb? How did you end up here?" Kong Fang looked at Qing Ling.

"Of course this is Qingtian Tomb, but this is the core of Qingtian Tomb, and no one can break in. Of course, except for the big brother who owns the Forbidden Qianlan Ship." Qing Ling nodded his head and answered seriously: "As for why I appear here, actually... I don’t know either." Qing Ling's mood suddenly became a little depressed, "Since I became conscious, I seem to have been here. I know how to use many of the formations here, but I don’t know why this is happening." Qing Ling tried hard to recall some things, but a look of pain gradually appeared on his face.

Kong Fang felt a pain in his heart. This time it was not because he was affected, but because he felt a desire to protect this six or seven-year-old girl who liked to call him big brother. Seeing her painful look, Kong Fang reached out and touched her little head, comforting her: "Don't think about it. Didn't you say that the Qiangu Daotai has many uses? Can you show it to me?" Kong Fang took the initiative to change the subject.

"Yeah, okay." As expected of a child, Qing Ling soon became happy again.

"Brother, the Qiangu Daotai can not only be used for cultivation, but also for observing every place in the Qingtian Tomb, even the area within a hundred miles outside the Qingtian Tomb can be seen." Qing Ling introduced it like offering a treasure: "Moreover, the Qiangu Daotai can also directly teleport people in the Qingtian Tomb. Isn't it amazing?"

"Great." Kong Fang nodded with a smile.

Suddenly, Kong Fang's eyes lit up and he asked, "Qing Ling, does the Qiangu Daotai have the ability to attack?"

"No." Qing Ling shook his head and said, "But I remember there is a Taoist platform in another place that can control most of the formations in Qingtian Tomb, but it is difficult to enter. I just remember that there is such a place, but I don't know how to get in. What do you want to do by asking this, big brother?"

Kong Fang shook his head slightly. He just thought of this suddenly and there was no special purpose.

Qing Ling made a hand gesture and a stream of magic power hit the Qiangu Daotai. A layer of light curtain appeared on the Qiangu Daotai, and various places in the Qingtian Tomb kept flashing in the light curtain. In some places, the figures of some cultivators could be seen.

"This is indeed good." Kong Fang's eyes showed a hint of joy. "The Qiangu Daotai can observe the situation inside the Qingtian Tomb, and can even observe the area 100 miles outside the Qingtian Tomb. If someone from the Dingtian Sect comes here to find me, then I will know in advance."

Kong Fang had no idea that it wasn't just the Dingtian Sect that was looking for him, but all the sects under the rule of the Lingshen Sect.

……

Time passed. Kong Fang had been in Qingtian Tomb for ten days. During these ten days, Kong Fang and Qing Ling got along more and more harmoniously. If outsiders did not understand their relationship, they would really think they were a pair of biological siblings.

During this period, Qing Ling took Kong Fang on a tour around this magnificent palace complex, which opened Kong Fang's eyes. However, Kong Fang got nothing. The treasures here were either protected by formations or served as the core of the formations and could not be moved at all.

However, after Kong Fang saw the huge formation for refining the source of law, he no longer cared about other treasures. It is extremely difficult to refine the source of law artificially, and the output of the source of law has always been low, otherwise the source of law would not be so precious, but here there is a huge formation that is constantly refining the source of law, and after refining for a year, the source of law can fill the purple basin.

Judging by the jade bottle in Kong Fangjie's heart that contains dozens of drops of Dharma source, the Dharma source that fills the purple basin can definitely fill dozens of such jade bottles.

It was possible to refine so many sources of law in one year. The preciousness of this formation was self-evident. However, Kong Fang had to give up after contemplating it carefully for four days. This formation was simply not something he could comprehend at the moment. It was too complicated.

Therefore, in the days that followed, Kong Fang practiced occasionally to see if he could find an opportunity for a breakthrough. Although Kong Fang knew that the chance was slim, he was still unwilling to give up.

Most of the time, Kong Fang was actually studying formations and improving his refining skills. Kong Fang now had a lot of refining materials on him, so he naturally didn't have to worry about not having refining materials available.

Occasionally when he relaxes, Kong Fang will comprehend the Nine-Evolution Nine-Layer Art, Earth Armor, Shadow Escape and other Taoist techniques. Although Kong Fang cannot practice the more advanced parts before his cultivation level is improved, it is good to comprehend them and make some preparations for the improvement of his cultivation level in the future.

……

In the Lingshen Sect,

The two elders, Fu Qu and Xuan De, stood together respectfully. In front of them sat an old man with deep wrinkles but a ruddy complexion.

The old man held a wine jug in his hand and took a gulp of wine. He then looked at the two elders, Fu Qu and Xuan De, and said in a deep voice, "You mean it's been more than half a month, but you haven't found a single person?"

Fu Qu and Xuan De both showed shame on their faces. Fu Qu replied respectfully, "We mobilized all the people in the sect and turned over almost all the areas ruled by our Lingshen Sect, but we did not find the cultivator named Kong Fang."

"Is it possible that he has already escaped from the area ruled by our Spiritual God Sect? Also, where did that cultivator come from? Have you found out?" The old man said indifferently, "No matter what, our Spiritual God Sect must obtain the Forbidden Thousand Waves Ship that can travel freely in the Qingtian Tomb. If you can do this well, it will be a great achievement. If you fail, I may have to stand aside. Those old guys in the Divine Realm will definitely run out. I can't guarantee your situation then."

Fu Qu and Xuan De were sweating profusely. They had originally wanted to make a contribution, but they had mobilized all the sects and even countless independent cultivators to search for Kong Fang, but they had not found even the shadow of Kong Fang. If someone encountered Kong Fang once, even if Kong Fang escaped in the end, it would be good news for them. But now Kong Fang seemed to have evaporated from the world, and countless cultivators had not encountered Kong Fang.

"The five people who had contact with Kong Fang were Huangfu Qi, Ye Qingli, Qin Long, Wan Xianglin and Lu Zhu. Huangfu Qi was arrested and locked up by his family because he concealed some things related to Kong Fang. Qin Long is dead, and Ye Qingli and the others didn't know our purpose, so they confessed everything about Kong Fang. However, they didn't know where Kong Fang came from. They met Kong Fang outside Qingtian Tomb at the beginning, and then they were saved by Kong Fang inside Qingtian Tomb. As for other things, they don't know."

In fact, Fu Qu didn't say something. He felt that if Ye Qingli and others knew that they were going to arrest Kong Fang, they would definitely hide some things. But these were just his feelings, and there was no need to say them out loud.

Afterwards, Fu Qu and Xuan De looked at each other, and Fu Qu continued with a somewhat unpleasant expression: "Kong Fang is only at the peak of the Spiritual Realm. Although his strength is much stronger than his cultivation, it is impossible for him to escape from the area ruled by our Spiritual God Sect in such a short time. He should be hiding somewhere."

"Hidden somewhere? Humph!" The old man snorted coldly, "As long as he is still in the territory of my Lingshen Sect, he will never escape. Send people to various dangerous places and some of the ruins of the secret palace that have been discovered to search for him. We must find him as soon as possible. Other sects can be driven by us for a short time, but this kind of thing can't continue forever, so you have to hurry up. By the way, you mentioned Qingtian Tomb just now, send more people to search Qingtian Tomb. Since he has entered Qingtian Tomb, it is very likely that he hid in Qingtian Tomb."

"Yes." Fu Qu and Xuan De responded respectfully. However, they felt a little bitter. Qingtian Tomb was not a place where they could directly send strong men to search. Qingtian Tomb could only send cultivators below the Spiritual Transformation Realm to enter. However, it was extremely dangerous for cultivators of this level to enter Qingtian Tomb. They might have died before they found Kong Fang.

The most important thing is that even if these people find Kong Fang, they may not be Kong Fang's opponent. How can they pass the news to them? However, the two of them could not say anything else, so they could only go down and think of a solution. Who made them meddlesome in the past, and now they are in a difficult situation.
