Chapter 61: The Alliance's Defeat and Qinglian's Theft of the Tree

  Everyone collect it, kneeling and begging for collection

  Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Fu Xi returned to the Heavenly Court ahead of time. Di Jun saw his wife in a precarious situation and directly confronted Minghe River. However, since he had given the Hetu Luoshu to Wuji, he didn't have any convenient spiritual treasures on hand, so he could only use his fist and footwork to fight against Minghe River Daoist together with Xi.

  Ming River Daoist saw that Emperor Jun did not use his spiritual treasure to fight the enemy, but instead used his fists and feet. Although he was puzzled, he also dared not be careless. The physical body of the demon tribe may not be as good as that of the witch tribe, but it is not much different either. The three of them fought together.

  Taiyi saw that Emperor Jun, Xihe and the three great demon saints among the ten great demon saints were not in danger, so he joined Fuxi to attack the quasi-saints of the scattered repair alliance. The Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who possessed the Hunyuan Bell, was no ordinary quasi-saint. Those quasi-saints who had cut off one corpse could hardly be Taiyi's opponents, and were instantly suppressed by him. Taiyi fought against three quasi-saints alone. Fuxi, on the other hand, displayed his own pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, the Fuxi Guqin, and launched a sonic attack on the Daluo Jinxian of the scattered repair alliance. Many Daluo Jinxians were killed instantly by the sound wave attack of the Fuxi Guqin, while others were affected by the sound wave and caught off guard by their opponents, who then killed them directly.

  Dong Wang Gong saw the situation at this time and hastily ordered a retreat. After all, his purpose had already been half completed, and if he continued to fight, the demon master Kun Peng would lead the remaining seven great demon saints and the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array back, and they would all be doomed to die without a place to bury their bodies.

  The Xianxiu Alliance retreated in an orderly manner under the command of Dong Wang Gong. Emperor Jun understood that his demon clan had suffered a disastrous loss this time, and even if they chased after them, it was not necessarily possible to win. Moreover, there were still witches lurking on the side, so Emperor Jun ordered the cleanup of the battlefield.

  Not long after, the demon tribe returned to the heavenly court under the leadership of the demon master Kunpeng and seven of the ten great demon saints. Many people saw the situation in the heavenly court and shouted that they wanted to destroy the scattered repair alliance, but were suppressed by Emperor Jun.

  After Emperor Jun issued a large number of orders, he took the essence of humanity that had been collected earlier and went into seclusion with Donghuang Taiyi, Xihuang Fuxi, Youhou Xihe, and Youshi Kunpeng to heal their wounds. And refine the Tufu Sword. When they came to the Tian Ting Treasure House to prepare materials, they saw corpses all over the ground, and the treasures in the treasure house were also reduced by half, which made the four people extremely angry. Fortunately, there was still a general treasure house, otherwise, they would have to collect materials again, and the date of refining the Tufu Sword would be postponed indefinitely.

  The four of them only remembered to report after settling the account, and first prioritized their injuries. Afterwards, they handed over the management of the demon clan's affairs to the Ten Great Demon Saints, and had everyone prepare for a great war. The day they left seclusion would be the day of the great war, so the four began to close themselves off in full force.

  In the midst of the great war between the Human Tribe, the Scattered Cultivators' Alliance and the Demon Tribe, Wuji's self-corpse, Qinglian Daoist, was not idle either. Before rescuing the Human Tribe, Wuji had already released his own self-corpse, allowing it to enter the lair of the Scattered Cultivators' Alliance in Xikunlun.

  In the grand scheme of Honghuang, Xikunlun is still relatively close to Dongkunlun despite being far apart. Wuji had previously visited the outskirts of Xikunlun. Qinglian Daoren has two purposes for coming to Xikunlun, where the Scattered Cultivation Alliance is located: one is to avenge himself against East King Gong and West Queen Mu for their unprovoked attack on him last time; the other is that he heard that Huang Zhongli, who possesses the Five Elements Primordial Spirit Root, is in the hands of East King Gong, and he also wants to collect all five Primordial Spirit Roots.

  At this time, Wuji's Dao line has already surpassed Taiyi's Zhantwo Corpse's quasi-sage mid-term. At this time, Wuji has beheaded his own corpse and the good corpse. Wuji's evil thoughts have been beheaded and are now being nurtured, ready to be implanted into Heilian at any moment. That is, Wuji is already a quasi-saint with the great ability to behead three corpses, he just doesn't have time yet.

  Qinglian Daoren, as the selfless corpse of Wújí, naturally had exceptional Daoist skills and had already attained the cultivation level of a quasi-Saint. Being well-versed in the spatial laws of Wújí, hiding one's tracks was child's play. Qinglian Daoren first knocked out a Great Luo Golden Immortal, then obtained the desired information from its mind, modified its memories, and began searching for Huang Zhongli Shu's location.

  Because Qinglian Daoist had previously obtained the approximate location of Huangzhongli Tree in Daluo Jinxian's mind, it was not difficult for Qinglian Daoist to find it, and he spent only half a day to arrive at the foot of Huangzhongli Tree without being detected.

  The Qinglian Daoist looked at the giant yellow tree in front of him, and the fruit he touched was somewhat similar to a plum. He thought of the legend of Huang Zhongli. According to legend, Huang Zhongli, the first of the five pre-heavenly spiritual roots, is said to bloom once every 100,000 years, bear fruit once every 100,000 years, and take another 100,000 years to ripen. Each time it ripens, there are only 99 fruits. Ordinary people who smell it can gain longevity, those who take a bite can attain the heavenly immortal Tao fruit, and those who eat one can make the five elements in their chest return to the origin, the three flowers on their head bloom, and attain the carefree and self-sufficient Taiyi Tao fruit.

  Of course, these legends are somewhat exaggerated, but Qinglian Daoist personally smelled it for a while, and after 108 billion years, he can still get the power of Tianxian, eating one will also get the power of Taiyi Jinxian. Qinglian Daoist actually gained insight into the great way of wood attribute law here.

  Qinglian Daoist wanted to quietly take away Huang Zhongli, although it was impossible, but it alarmed the scattered repair alliance. Qinglian Daoist's actual combat power is slightly inferior to Wuji, but his defensive ability is not worse than Wuji.

  Qinglian Daoist understood that his strengths lay in his defense, and his weaknesses were that once he was entangled by the opponent, he had no suitable weapon to quickly gain victory. After Qinglian Daoist brought Huang Zhongli into his own Qinglian space, he directly exerted all his strength to perform a spatial teleportation of 280 million miles in one step. In just over a dozen steps, Wujie had already left the range of Xikunlun, and when he turned back to look, he saw that in that moment, the Xikunlun mountain range suddenly rose with tens of thousands of Taizhen Golden Immortal-level auras. These auras later evolved into an array space through mysterious means.

  The formation's space quickly covered the Western Kunlun Mountains, and if it were an ordinary person, they would absolutely not be able to leave as easily as Qinglian Daoren. Qinglian Daoren was also extremely frightened, he didn't have the confidence to attack a single point like Ben Zun's owner, Shi Shen Gun, this treasured attacking artifact, and then use the time-pausing divine ability to break the formation. This method could only be used by those who possessed Shi Shen Gun or Pangu Fan and other powerful attacking artifacts, as well as those who possessed the Time Law, lacking either one would not work. Otherwise, there were only three ways out: transforming into a powerful being, using strong magical powers to forcefully break the formation, or breaking the formation in an instant. This was the reason why the Great Array of the Starry Sky of the You Tribe was considered the top-level formation in the Hongyuan.

  Qinglian Daoist ignored the chaotic situation of the scattered repair alliance behind him, restored his normal speed and rushed to Wujizong, two days later Qinglian Daoist finally arrived in front of Wuji, and then entered the Wujijie cultivation.

  The Eastern King and the Western Queen were originally delighted to have plundered half of the heavenly treasury, but upon returning to the Kunlun Mountains, they found that the place where the Huang Zhong Li was planted had been reduced to a large pit. This made it impossible for them to be happy. The Huang Zhong Li was not only a top-grade spiritual root for them, capable of suppressing the aura of their scattered cultivation alliance, but more importantly, with the Huang Zhong Li, the scattered cultivation alliance would produce a large number of Taiyi Golden Immortals. In thirty million years, ninety-nine Taiyi Golden Immortals could be produced, which was an important source of military strength for any power.

  The importance of Huang Zhongli far exceeds that of the Tian Ting Treasure, but the fact has already been created. With the current chaos in the heavenly machine, even a saint cannot clearly understand all things. The two people fundamentally cannot use the Heavenly Way to calculate who will steal the Huang Zhongli. The two can only make the best of a bad situation and temporarily put aside the matter of the Dispersed Cultivation Alliance. After Wuji returned to the Wujie boundary, he continued to worship and refine the He Luo diagram as before, nurturing his own evil intentions. He added one more thing: using the Huang Zhongli according to the alchemy method passed down by the Taiching Saint to start refining the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

  The gap in alchemy skills between Wuji and Taicheng was huge, but Wuji used the top-grade spiritual root, Huangzhongli's fruit, as the main medicine for refining. Moreover, Taicheng's alchemy furnace was only an eight-trigram furnace of superior pre-heavenly spirit treasure, whereas Wuji's alchemy furnace was a pre-heavenly ultimate treasure, Qiankun Ding. After 99 years and 81 days, Wuji finally refined nine 9-turn golden elixirs, which made him overjoyed.

  If the Taichu Sage were here, he would definitely scold this prodigal son. With such top-grade medicinal materials and a Precious Treasure of Heaven and Earth, to only refine nine 9th-Transformed Golden Elixirs is truly wasteful.

  Wuji calculated for a while and found that he had been stationed in the human race for 100 years. He observed the situation of the human race at the foot of the mountain with his divine thoughts, and found that the human race had entered the right track. The three ancestors of the human race were also in seclusion. Wuji left a jade note in front of the door of the three ancestors of the human race, saying that he was leaving.

  Wuji left behind the Jade Slip after deciding to first return to Kunlun, then take a look at his home in Penglai Fairy Island in the Desolate Era. Wuji spent two days traveling at this speed and finally returned to the Eastern Kunlun Mountains. Wuji took the opportunity to observe Western Kunlun with his divine sense, but what he didn't expect was that Western Kunlun had become deserted, with only a few big and small cats left guarding it.

  Wuji figured out through the heavenly way's calculation of the heavenly machine that fifty years ago, the scattered cultivation alliance had already moved to a large island in the East Sea, which was not far from Wuji's Penglai Fairy Island, namely Yingzhou Fairy Island. At that time, Wuji did not fail to search for it, but unfortunately, he had no fate with it. After searching for a hundred years, he finally got nothing, and unexpectedly, it was found by the Eastern King Gong and the Western Queen Mother as the residence of the scattered cultivation alliance.

  Wuji returned to Kunlun Mountain and saw his teachers, Shifu and Shishu, explaining the Great Way to their closest disciples. Wuji didn't disturb them and chose to sit on an empty land to listen to the saints' teachings. The sacred lotus flowers that accompanied the saint's teachings were ignored by Wuji, and in his eyes, absorbing and refining that spiritual energy was a waste of time. Wuji only incorporated the suitable Great Way into his own Wuji Great Way wheel.

  Fifty years later, the saint finished his sermon and Wuji also came forward to pay his respects. After a conversation between the master and apprentice, the Three Pure Ones ordered everyone else to withdraw, leaving only Wuji behind.
