Mysterious mirror hanging high

Chapter 148: Looking at the Mountain

It is very likely that someone deliberately leaked this technique to the Black Blood Taoist. As to whether it was for the Black Blood Taoist to verify the effectiveness of the technique or for some other reason, Jing Yu had no idea.

"Violating human ethics, utterly insane... Black Blood Taoist's comments on this secret technique were spot-on. However, he ultimately couldn't resist the temptation and became the person he once hated the most."

"Besides, this secret method has been secretly modified... No wonder Black Blood Taoist was already a cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment seventy-two years ago, but his cultivation has not improved at all in the past seventy years."

It stands to reason that since the Black Blood Taoist had seized the blood spirit body foundation of his heir, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort for him to practice the blood path technique himself, which would be enough to make up for the lack of his original cultivation aptitude. It would be unlikely that he would not be able to break through to the late stage of foundation building for more than seventy years.

The only explanation is that the [Blood Reversing and Soul Stealing Technique] itself has some major hidden dangers, which has cut off the Black Blood Taoist's path and made it impossible for him to obtain the Golden Elixir.

"Perhaps the cultivator who was fishing wanted to prevent Black Blood Taoist from escaping his control, so he found a way to modify his cultivation method and lock his realm... After all, if he wasn't restrained, Black Blood Taoist really had a glimmer of hope of forming a pill!"

Jing Yu thought to himself, "Even if it's a complete secret technique without any hidden dangers, it only looks incredibly effective, but in reality it has significant limitations."

"After all, the targets of seizure are limited to the descendants of one's own bloodline, so the choices are suddenly much narrower."

Moreover, the so-called "foundation of immortality" obtained by this secret method is actually nothing more than an "acquired spiritual body" that the cultivator has refined by taking some rare treasures by chance.

As for the [Fate] nominally called [Innate Dao Body]? It is impossible to take it away.

After the Xianzhou world experienced a world-destroying catastrophe, although the immortal cultivation civilization had just been restarted a hundred thousand years ago, many secret methods of seizing the foundation of spiritual bodies had been created.

Aren't there a few morally corrupt and insane Jindan Zhenren and Yuanying Zhenjun who are coveting all kinds of [Innate Dao Bodies]?

Of course there are, and quite a few.

In fact, when the immortal cultivation civilization was just emerging, there was a trend of hunting Taoist monks... The monks with extraordinary destinies had to hide their identities and walk on thin ice.

But no matter how many secret methods this group of Jindan Zhenren and Yuanying Zhenjun used, and how many so-called [Innate Dao Body] with destiny they swallowed, they found that they could not get any benefit at all, and gradually they lost interest.

You must know that tens of thousands of years ago, the word "innate" did not exist in the [Innate Dao Body]!

However, later on, the top cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation came to know that the so-called supernatural powers of those cultivators with supernatural Taoist bodies were innate and could not be deprived. That's why the method of dealing with various cultivators with [innate Taoist bodies] changed from devouring and depriving them to supporting and cultivating them.

Jing Yu, who knew about the existence of [Fate], naturally knew why those secret methods that could take away people's foundation could not take away [Fate].

At present, Jing Yu's understanding of fate is still at a very superficial stage, but he also understands that [fate] is actually a conceptual product that mixes personal fate.

Although many people with this fate can obtain very concrete characteristics and even real supernatural powers, this does not mean that the "fate" as the source is also something that can be seen and touched.

Using the so-called "physical devouring" secret method to take possession of another person's fate is almost as absurd as "eating a person's brain in an attempt to obtain all the knowledge in that person's mind". The starting point is completely wrong.

The team led by Jing Yu is still growing. Most of them are Qi-cultivating cultivators, or cultivators in the early stage of foundation building who originally rushed out of the city to watch the excitement. They are outstanding in certain skills but not good at fighting.

Some foundation-building monks who were confident in their own fighting ability saw this mighty team, but they only took a peek from afar with their spiritual thoughts, then took a detour and continued to go deep into the various dangerous places in the blessed land to look for opportunities.

During this time, Jing Yu even saw Zhao Mingfu, whose injuries had recovered by 30% to 40% and who could barely walk, following silently at the end of the team.

It's just that both of them tacitly ignored each other, like two strangers who had never had any intersection.

After marching for about a day, the team walked out of the primeval forest and came to an endless desert.

The temperature in the desert rose noticeably. Some fire monks in the team took a deep breath and felt the activation of magic power in their bodies.

The concentration of fire aura here is much higher!

"My Lords, look!"

Zhao Yuanxi managed to fly to a height of two meters and looked out into the desert. He said to Jing Yu and the other foundation-building cultivators, "There seems to be a fairy mountain in the distance!"

Jing Yu had excellent eyesight, so he could naturally see more clearly than Zhao Yuanxi. As far as he could see, there was indeed a fiery red fairy mountain. It looked very similar to the fairy mountain that appeared in the world, but it could be seen clearly from such a distance. I'm afraid its scale must be much larger than the one in the world.

"That place should be the center of the [Langhuo Blessed Land], where the [Langhuo Mountain] is located."

Jing Yu had just used the [Spiritual Stone Embryo] to contact Han Ping and Yuwen Xiaoyan, and learned that they had reached the safe area at the foot of the mountain. He had some grasp of the general direction, so he led the team to speed up and head towards the fairy mountain.

While crossing the desert, a flash of lightning and a green light flew past and stopped near the team. Jing Yu never thought that he would meet an acquaintance here.

"Huh? Taoist Xuanjing!"

When the green light dissipated, it turned out to be Yuwen Xiaojin's follower Wan Lingjun.

But the lightning came from the Taoist nun Bo Lei, who was the golden elixir seed of Xiaolei Temple!

"Fairy Lingjun? Fellow Daoist Bo Lei!" Jing Yu asked in surprise, "Why are you two traveling together?"

Wan Lingjun seemed very happy to meet Jing Yu, and said casually, "After I was teleported into this secret realm, I was thrown into a Gobi desert. Fellow Daoist Bo Lei happened to be nearby, so we went together."

Jing Yu glanced at the expressionless Nun Bo Lei and exclaimed in admiration, "I've heard that the nuns of Xiao Lei Temple are known for their hatred of evil and high moral character, but seeing is believing!"

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing, you are too kind." Nun Bo Lei twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, a stiff smile plastered on her face. "It's rare to find a kind and gentle elder like Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing protecting so many Qigong cultivators..."

Wan Lingjun looked at the two people praising each other and was quite confused.

Jing Yu glanced at Wan Lingjun again, somewhat speechless. "Wan Lingjun is quite bold. He actually dared to stay with Bo Lei, who is only at the early stage of foundation building, and is infatuated with Yu Wenxiaojin's late stage golden elixir seed. As the saying goes, when rivals meet, they become particularly jealous. And in such a blessed and secret place isolated from the real world, isn't he afraid that he might harbor evil intentions?"

"That's because Xiaolei Monastery has very strict rules and its disciples embody the spirit of ancient cultivators. Otherwise, if it were Qin Zhiling from Huanhuo Sect or Qiu Zhiyun from Bishui Sect... this Fairy Lingjun would have been wiped out long ago!"
