Chapter Thirty-Four: Mingyue Xiang Leaves the Valley

  Under the moonlight, she came out of the gate, and her figure stepped on the auspicious cloud, subtly emitting a hint of Taoist flavor. Her face always wore a peaceful smile, yet was as sacred as a blue lotus, to be admired from afar but not to be trifled with. At this moment, all the high-ranking officials of the Mystic Gate were gazing at that small, blurry world, which was created by Li Xian using the Three Gods Return to Tao method, at the cost of his own downfall. No one dared to attack this small world, and no one wanted to fight to the death with Li Xian.

  In addition to the terrifying old antique, as far as they knew, at least half a step into that legendary underground tunnel, what about Li Xian's three gods and still way?

  No one noticed Mingyue Xiang's departure, but when she revealed the aura on her body, everyone turned around at the same time. She had arrived, riding on clouds, with the charm of achieving enlightenment, in harmony with heaven and man.

  "Half a step into the realm of becoming a saint, unexpectedly cultivating so quickly, the genius on the Tian Gang list is indeed worthy."

  "The Tianxia Seal can help people understand the Tao, and further, this is also related to Mingyue Xiang's own aura. The Tianxia list is a thousand-year-old genius, and Mingyue Xiang can kill one of the geniuses on the Tianxia list to advance, which has a great relationship with the inheritance she received."

  Looking back, Mingyue Xiang had unexpectedly achieved half a step in her cultivation, with the Tian Geng seal on her brow appearing and disappearing, carrying an air of mysterious elegance. This was a mark bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, one of the 72 Tian Geng seals listed on the Tian Xuan rankings. Only cultivators who had reached the level of "Dao" could compete for these seals, and once they achieved the Dao, the seal would automatically disappear. Those who had achieved the Dao competed for the Di Jue rankings. The fact that Mingyue Xiang was able to kill a Tian Geng-ranked genius meant that she relied on her own strength. Among the millions of cultivators under the Heavenly Dao, competing for these 72 spots required genuine skill. Once you made it onto the rankings, it meant you could more quickly grasp the grand trend and achieve the Dao, but it also meant that you would be constantly challenged and in danger of being killed at any moment.

  Although Mingyue Xiang only entered the 72nd position, she has been holding on for many years. She has encountered numerous assassination attempts, and every challenger has disappeared, but Mingyue Xiang has survived, eventually attracting the attention of the Tianxuan Sect, who wants to recruit her to cultivate the true Emperor's Sacred Law.

  But for some reason, Mingyue Xiang delayed and did not go. Two months later will be the deadline of Tianxuan Sect. Many people thought she wanted to achieve her goal by entering Tianxuan Sect, but in fact, she stayed in Xuandao for so long because of Qin Hao, also known as Jingxuan.

  Now she has come out again, although she hasn't achieved the Tao yet, but she carries the elegance of the Tao. Within a year, Mingyue Xiang will definitely achieve the Tao. This is the view of all the Taishang elders, and Mingyue Xiang can absolutely be considered a talented disciple of the Great Teaching, capable of killing those in the Heavenly Punishment of the 72 Heavens. How could she be an ordinary person?

  Rumor has it that the brilliant disciples of Da Jiao can challenge ordinary Dao-making cultivators even at the Named Dwelling boundary, and some against-the-heavens disciples can even kill Dao-making cultivators. This is due to the mysterious method as well as the profound foundation. The Dao-seeking cultivators on the Tian Gang list are even more against-the-heavens. It's said that the first-ranked genius on the Tian Gang list can reverse the flow and slay ordinary monarchs at the Human Path boundary, holding onto the top spot for hundreds of years without becoming a Dao-making cultivator, all to accumulate profound foundation.

  The more profound the foundation, the more stable the attainment of the Tao. This is a consensus among all cultivators. It is said that if the genius of the Tian Gang list were to attain the Tao, they could even enter the Human Path in an instant and become the king among men.

  This is the benefit of having a deep accumulation, just like Li Xian, a successful cultivator who cannot enter the human path. A major reason for this is that his accumulation is not enough. In fact, even small sects like Xuandao do not have enough resources to let him squander them. Xuandao can't even provide every disciple with the basic yuan stone needed for cultivation. On the other hand, in a large sect that occupies the main dragon vein, cultivators need to comprehend the heavenly and earthly pulse, which also involves absorbing the heavenly and earthly yuan energy. Some stones born from the dragon vein naturally contain rich yuan energy, and some even contain the grand pulse, making it easy for people to comprehend the grand pulse. This is the benefit of being born in a large sect.

  Like the Xuanmen originally had a small dragon vein, this was still taken away by the old ancestor of the Xuanmen, Xuantiangong, when he destroyed a small sect. However, the yuan stone has been depleted long ago, and the stored yuan stone can only be used to consume the old capital. Within a hundred years, the yuan stone of the Xuanmen will almost be exhausted, and by then, there is no need for anyone to destroy the sect, the Xuanmen can almost disband itself.

  The genius disciple of the Great Teachings and the accomplished Taoist of the Mystic Gate are worlds apart. The Mystic Gate has finally produced such a talented disciple, yet he is to be taken in by the Great Teachings. This is the dominance of the Great Teachings - they can destroy your entire sect with just one casual dispatch of a Taoist cultivator.

  Mingyue Xiang's status in the Mystic Door is absolutely unparalleled, even surpassing that of the Taishang Elder who has achieved enlightenment. It can be imagined that with Mingyue Xiang's current qualifications, if she were to enter Tiān Xuán and establish a solid foundation, her future achievements would definitely make her another extraordinary being. Yet, she has been hesitating to go to Tiān Xuán.

  "She has only been in seclusion for a few days and is already out, could it be that her spiritual pulse isn't forming?" Some people also guessed something, Mingyue Xiang was the one who protected Qin Hao the most in the Mystic Gate, because Qin Hao was brought back by her.

  "If he knew about this senior, I wonder what kind of thoughts he would have. Even if she is the person designated by the Tianxuan Sect to be in charge, even the Tianxuan Sect wouldn't want to offend such a figure, right? This world no longer has an Emperor, but this senior is infinitely close to being one." Some people said.

  "Moon Elder, you've come out of seclusion." The Sect Master hastily said, his tone filled with respect and reverence towards Moon Fragrance, although they were both at the same Named Cultivation Realm, their status was completely different.

  "Hmm, what exactly happened? Who trapped Jingxuan inside?" Mingyuexiang nodded and immediately began to interrogate.

  "This..." The master of the gate was speechless, with one side being a senior and the other being a future great genius disciple of the sect. Offending either one would be unbearable for the Xuanmen.

  "It's like this......" A senior elder from the Sun Peak hurried over to explain, and before long, Mingyue Xiang understood the whole story. She thought to herself: "Is there really such a predecessor? Or is it just Jingxuan making things up?"

  "Elder Mingyue, please calm down, don't be rash... This senior we can..." The master of the Mystic Gate hurriedly advised, fearing that Mingyue Xiang would do something foolish and get killed by that terrifying old antique. How could they explain it to the Tianxuan Great Sect then? If the Tianxuan Great Sect got angry, the entire Mystic Gate would probably be annihilated."

  "Hmph, what elder? I've said it before, no matter who dares to harm Jingxuan, I will not forgive him." The thing that the gate master was most worried about had happened, and at this time, the person who was most afraid was Li Chen, who was caught by the Taishang Elder. He didn't even dare to look at Mingyue Xiang, now his grandfather wasn't protecting him, his father was dead, if Mingyue Xiang wanted to kill him, it would be as simple as pinching an ant to death.

  But things went against her wishes, Li Chen didn't want to come and go as he pleased, the peaceful atmosphere on Mingyue Xiang's body disappeared instantly, giving people a cold and ruthless feeling, his eyes scanned and locked onto Li Chen, that feeling was like being held at knifepoint.

  "Li Xian actually dares to do this, then I'll kill his grandson first." Mingyue Xiang showed no mercy, a stream of light flashed out from her body and arrived instantly. It was an arc-shaped magic treasure that subtly harmonized with the heavens and earth.

  "The treasure of humanity, Lingguang Blade!" The Taishang elder who grabbed Li Chen was shocked. In the Xuanmen, there were few elders who had reached the level of "Ren Dao Zhi Bao". The Ren Dao Fa Bao was divided into three levels, and only the highest level could be called "Ren Dao Zhi Bao". There were two Ren Dao Zhi Bao in the Xuanmen. One was the Zhēnmén's Town Treasure Piercing Cloud Gun, which was originally the weapon of Xuantian Feng, and had been passed down through generations of door masters. The other one was in the hands of Mingyue Xiang, but no one knew where her Lingguang Blade came from.

  Now that Mingyue Xiang has made her move, Li Chen is so scared that he's wet his pants. This Taishang Laozu is even more at a loss for what to do. Li Chen's body has the Shengsi Qing, if he dies, although Li Xian can't come out, but inside him, he will definitely go crazy, and when the time comes, the three gods will merge and self-destruct inside, I'm afraid the entire Mingyue Peak will disappear.

  "Bang" Suddenly, a shield appeared in the hand of that Taishang elder, containing the grand momentum of earth, bearing the weight of pressure, merging with heaven and earth, blocking the Lingguang blade, emitting a light sound. However, that Taishang elder was shaken back hundreds of meters before stabilizing his figure, Li Chen finally felt a bit relieved in his heart.

  "Do you want to stop me?" Mingyue Xiang didn't even summon her divine spirit, but the combat power of her physical body was so terrifying that many Taishang elders were stunned. The geniuses on the Tianxia list weren't easy to deal with, and a half-step cultivator who could rival a Daodao cultivator who had been cultivating for thousands of years.

  "Elder Mingyue, please calm down, I don't intend to stop you. However, Li Chen's body has a life-and-death trigger, and we still don't know the situation inside. If we kill him and trigger the life-and-death trigger, Li Xian will likely go crazy, and then the entire Mingyue Peak..." The Supreme Elder hurriedly explained.

  He originally thought he could crush Mingyue Xiang with ease, but found that her strength far exceeded his expectations.

  Moreover, they are still a major sect that needs to be guided, and can be considered as a disciple of the major sect. If they really fight with Mingyue Xiang, they will win less and lose more.

  Mingyue Xiang understood that there were many doubts in this, if Li Xian didn't have any confidence, how would he use the Three Gods' Path? Could it be that he really didn't want his grandson anymore? So Mingyue Xiang knew that Li Xian must be thinking of killing Jingxuan, using the divine pulse to boost his luck, and make a breakthrough in one move, becoming a human path cultivator. At that time, the Mystic Gate would have no one to stop him, and even the Great Sect would welcome him.

  As for that senior, Mingyue Xiang had also suspected him, but was immediately dismissed by her. Thinking of Jingxuan's divine physique and the favor of the heavens, how could he not have a great opportunity? Perhaps he obtained some kind of treasure from somewhere, which is why he ended up with that result.

  At the thought of this, Mingyue Xiang didn't hesitate to make another move. This time, both good and evil divine spirits emerged from her body at the same time, drawing something in mid-air as if they were harmonizing with the pulse of heaven and earth. The spirit light blade transformed into a spirit light, its speed increasing by an unknown number of times compared to before.

  "Dare to stop me from dying!" Mingyue Xiang said coldly.

  The elder hesitated, and Li Chenman was terrified, his soul flying away: "Save me, Elder, save me..."

  But the next moment, the elder directly threw him away, his body flashed and disappeared in place. Li Chen's face turned pale: "Grandpa... save me..."

  However, the Lingguang Blade ruthlessly cut him in half, the divine spirit dissipated into nothingness, blood stained the sky, and everyone was shocked by this scene, Li Xian estimated that he would go crazy this time...
