Longevity: Starting From the Luck Entry
Chapter 425: Harvest Ba Tuo's power of luck and kill the demon saint again!Chapter 425: Harvest Ba Tuo’s power of luck, and then kill the demon saint!
The entrance to Yaochi.
The cold-faced Qing Ling slowly opened her eyes and exited the state of closed-eye meditation.
“Two fellow Taoists, I want to cooperate with the Three Saints of the Demon Clan!”
Nie Yuan nodded and said: "Okay! Whether Kong Ming is dead or alive, we have to find out eventually, and my little junior brother."
Zhu Yan said: "I can do it. Fairy Qingling can make the decision."
Hearing this, Qing Ling also nodded slowly.
next moment.
She looked far away, in the direction of Ba Tuo and the other three demon saints.
Ba Tuo's eyes instantly met Qing Ling's eyes in mid-air.
Then the corner of Ba Tuo's mouth curled up slightly: "Fairy, do you want to cooperate with us?"
Qing Ling nodded slightly: "That's right! The two parties have joined forces, and each party will send one person into it. What do you think?"
Batuo did not reply directly, but turned his head to send a message to Diting and Yuantuo beside him.
“Brother Diting and Brother Yuantuo, how about we join forces later and send me in?”
“I want to know what’s going on in there!”
“Is Brother Fushan still alive?”
Yuantuo nodded and said: "No problem, I am very confident about Brother Ba's strength!"
Di Ting also spoke: "Brother Ba, you have to think clearly. If Brother Fushan and Kong Ming from Xiaoleiyin Temple both fall into it."
"This shows that there is a big crisis in the so-called Yaochi. If Brother Ba chooses to go in, he may also end up in the same fate as Brother Fushan."
Ba Tuo smiled, and then continued: "It doesn't matter! I won't be willing to retreat like this!"
“Although there are dangers when entering Yaochi this time, there are also opportunities.”
“If what you said is true, that Yaochi Qinglian is most likely an elixir!”
“It’s not like I don’t have any requirements when I go in, that is to get the Jade Pond Qinglian, and I have to monopolize 40% of it!”
Hearing these words, Diting and Yuantuo immediately looked at each other.
A few breaths have passed.
Di Tingting said: "Brother Ba took the risk to enter Yaochi, so he should naturally get more benefits. I completely agree with my condition."
Yuantuo also said: "No problem! I agree too!"
Batuo nodded, then turned to look at Qing Ling.
"How's the discussion going?" Qing Ling asked calmly.
Ba Tuo said: "We agree to join forces, and I will enter the Yaochi later. What about you?"
Qing Ling said calmly: "I will also enter Yaochi!"
"Okay!" Ba Tuo nodded and continued: "In that case, let's do it!"
After a while.
The three demon saints and the three saints immediately rushed towards the entrance of Yaochi.
In an instant.
The four golden-armored gods will be separated from the sculpture state.
Zheng—
Zheng—
Zheng—
The sound of four divine swords being unsheathed was heard.
A moment later, as the battle was getting fierce, Ba Tuo found the right moment and rushed into the Yaochi like a snake.
Seeing this, Qing Ling also tried his best to swing away a golden armored general with his sword, and his body turned into a sword light and entered the Yaochi.
Batuo turned around and saw this scene, and immediately smiled.
“The strength that Qing Ling’s fairy unleashed is indeed extraordinary!”
"If I hadn't taken the first step, Fairy Qingling probably wouldn't have unleashed her full strength!"
Qing Ling said calmly: "Don't waste time here, let's go first! With one against one, the fellow Taoists behind you won't be able to hold on for long!"
“Okay then!” Ba Tuo nodded.
next moment.
One person and one demon went deep into Yaochi, constantly exploring.
At the same time, they also maintained a relatively safe distance.
After half a stick of incense.
Ba Tuo and Qing Ling met on a bridge made of white marble.
“Fairy Qingling, have you made any special discoveries?”
Facing Ba Tuo's inquiry, Qing Ling asked: "What about you? What did you find?"
"No!" Ba Tuo shook his head and continued: "I just searched most of the places here and found nothing special."
“Nor did I notice that there was any particular danger in a certain place.”
“There are no signs of damage to any of the buildings, and the restrictions here have not been triggered.”
Qing Ling also spoke.
“Similar to your description, I didn’t find anything.”
Hearing this, Ba Tuo immediately looked in the other direction of Yaochi.
“Since there are no special discoveries, let’s first see if there are any entrances or exits to Yaochi!”
“The fellow Taoists behind me are all facing a golden-armored divine general. They cannot hold on for long.”
“And they can only hold on to one stick of incense at most, and now the time of half a stick of incense has passed.”
Qing Ling also nodded.
“Let’s go!”
After the words fell, the two of them continued to move in the direction of Jiang Yuan.
A moment later.
Batuo's eyes were focused, as if he wanted to see through the auspicious white mist ahead.
“No, why is there the smell of meat wafting out from the front?”
When Qing Ling heard this, her nose moved slightly, and she also smelled the faint scent of meat.
Her eyes suddenly flashed with surprise.
next moment.
Before he could even guess, she saw Ba Tuo moving forward at a very fast speed.
Seeing this, Qing Ling also held the holy weapon and followed quickly with his Taoist robe fluttering.
After dozens of breaths.
The two of them instantly saw the entrance and exit of Yaochi. It was as green as glass and as bright and frightened as if it were made of precious jade.
The surrounding buildings are all magnificent and magnificent.
Surrounded by white jade railings, the golden light is dotted with crystal dew.
“Sure enough, there is an entrance to Yaochi!”
Ba Tuo looked at the entrance and exit of Yao Chi in front of him, stopped, and looked happy.
Then he added, "Looking at it from this point of view, maybe Kongming and Fushan may not have fallen. They may have all walked out of Yaochi."
Qing Ling also stopped here, as if she wanted to see the outside world clearly through the white mist.
But in the environment where the fairy mist shrouded her, her vision was blocked and she could not see through these auspicious clouds at all.
Then Qing Ling shook his head slightly: "Not necessarily!"
As she spoke, her throat moved slightly and she swallowed the saliva secreted in her mouth.
Then he continued: "The smell of meat seems to be the smell of barbecue. It's strange that this smell appears here."
Hearing these words, Ba Tuo looked startled, as if he had thought of something.
next moment.
His body moved and he quickly moved forward.
Qing Ling also quickly followed.
the other side.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJiang Yuan looked at the greasy roasted lamb in front of him, and his mouth kept drooling.
Under such circumstances, Ye Chanxi could not calm down and concentrate on refining the Yaochi Qinglian seeds in her belly.
She simply gave up refining for the time being and sat aside with her knees crossed, waiting for Jiang Yuan to finish.
She swallowed and looked at Jiang Yuan again.
“How is the effect of Yaochi Qinglianzi on you?”
“You haven’t told me yet!”
Jiang Yuan smiled, with a happy smile on his face.
“Very good! The effect fully met my expectations.”
Ye Chanxi continued: "Then how far are you from breaking through to the eighth level of the Cave Heaven Realm? If nothing happens to me, I can still have one more Jade Pond Clear Lotus Seed."
Jiang Yuandao: "Don't worry! I'm not far away from breaking through the eighth level of Dongtian Realm! We can wait until you actually reach the perfection of Dongtian Realm."
While speaking.
Jiang Yuan also took a look at his own panel.
【Realm】:Seventh level of Cave Heaven Realm (95.86%)
【Avenue】: Space Avenue (13.67%) Devouring Avenue (18.77%) Thunder Avenue (22.33%) Good Fortune Avenue (1%)
A Jade Pool Clear Lotus Seed brought him just a few feet away from breaking through to the eighth level of the Cave Heaven Realm.
And we also got another big harvest.
The degree of mastery of the Avenue of Creation is also displayed on his panel.
One percent progress achieved.
This means that he has passed the most difficult step in mastering the road of creation.
It is the most difficult step from zero to one.
From one to ten, truly mastering the Great Way of Creation is much simpler than this.
at this time.
Jiang Yuan immediately closed the panel and looked in the direction of Yaochi.
"somebody is coming!"
Hearing this, Ye Chanxi instantly turned her head to look in the direction of Yaochi.
Then he smiled slightly: "They are really tolerant, and they didn't even come to check it out after so long."
Jiang Yuan also nodded.
“It’s indeed quite bearable!”
Jiang Yuan has already been mentally prepared for the incoming guests.
There is no news about the fall of Kongming and Fushan.
They will definitely find a way to enter Yaochi and look for them all the way.
So he was naturally mentally prepared.
The figures of the two people also appeared in Jiang Yuan's eyes at this time.
There are actually two of them?
Jiang Yuan was surprised.
With a quick glance, he recognized one of them.
It is the Taoist nun with a cold face and beautiful appearance.
Then his eyes fell on the man in front of him again.
【Name】: Batuo
【Realm】:The third level of the demon saint realm
【Innate Qi Luck】: Five Elements of Taoism (Gold) Ba Snake Bloodline (Purple) Ba Snake Belly (Purple) Qi and Blood Like a Dragon (Purple) Peerless Talent (Purple)

∣ ifies in peerless cultivation aptitude, extremely fast cultivation speed, greatly weakened bottlenecks, and extremely excellent speed in practicing skills.
Barto?
It’s the new Demon Saint again!
No wonder they can send one person and one demon into Yaochi.
Jiang Yuan suddenly understood.
Immediately I felt happy.
The new Demon Saint means that he can harvest a batch of luck power for his own use.
He has not forgotten.
At that time, the power of my luck reached the one hundred thousand rays mark.
Also activated a new feature in his panel.
That means you can consume double the power of luck, which can stimulate the seeds of luck and make them bloom in advance.
next moment.
Jiang Yuan had a thought in his mind.
The golden aura lingering on Ba Tuo quickly merged into his panel.
The power of luck +1480.
Then Jiang Yuan opened his panel and took a look.
【Power of Luck】:3046 rays
Seeing the power of luck exceeding three thousand levels, Jiang Yuan suddenly felt happy.
This means that you can generate the high-level luck seed in advance.
He then closed the panel.
But not now.
Now is not a good time!
Jiang Yuan said secretly.
When his eyes were focused on the front again.
I also saw two people standing at the entrance of Yaochi.
Sage Qingling and Demon Saint Batuo.
At this time.
Qing Ling was shocked when she saw the scene in front of her, with a look of disbelief on her face.
In front of him, a man and a woman were sitting on the ground. The woman was wearing a long black skirt and a black gauze covering her face. She was sitting on the ground with her knees folded.
The man next to the woman in black skirt was also very familiar to her.
It is Jiang Yuan.
At this moment, a wisp of meaty fragrance drifted to the tip of her nose.
Qing Ling's eyes also instantly looked towards the direction where the smell of meat was coming from.
next moment.
Her eyes suddenly condensed.
There was something incredible in his expression.
That’s roasted goat? ?
at the same time.
Ba Tuo's eyes also focused on Jiang Yuan, and he watched Jiang Yuan take several breaths.
His eyes fell on the goat roasting in front of Jiang Yuan.
“You two! Since you are here, why not come over and taste the delicious food together?”
Jiang Yuan's voice rang in the ears of Qing Ling and Ba Tuo.
Hearing this, Qing Ling stopped and continued to move forward.
Ba Tuo also smiled slightly and immediately walked towards Jiang Yuan.
“Little guy, you are here, what about Fushan and Kongming?”
Ba Tuo asked as he walked towards Jiang Yuan.
Hearing the words, Qing Ling also listened carefully.
Jiang Yuan watched a man and a demon walking out of the Yaochi with a smile on his face.
Previously in Yaochi, in order to avoid triggering Yaochi's restrictions, he restrained himself too much.
Hands and feet are **** when taking action.
Now that Ba Tuo has left Yaochi, it will be much simpler. Jiang Yuan then smiled slightly and said: "Master Kongming has passed away! He has gone to the Paradise of Paradise!"
“Sitting? Fallen?”
Qing Ling was startled, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Ba Tuo also looked slightly happy and said, "Little guy, you didn't lie to me?"
Jiang Yuan shook his head and said: "Why are you lying to me? If you don't believe me, take a look at this thing!"
The words fell.
A purple-gold light shot out from between Jiang Yuan's eyebrows.
This purple-gold light then spread out in the air, revealing the objects within it.
It is the Purple Gold Bowl.
Seeing this thing, Ba Tuo and Qing Ling both looked slightly condensed.
"This thing is" Qing Ling said hesitantly.
Batuo’s eyes showed a look of thought.
Jiang Yuandao: "This is Kong Ming's natal holy weapon, a holy weapon that can protect the soul! His holy weapons are all here now. You also know that what I said is true!"
Hearing this, Qing Ling suddenly showed a look of surprise.
“How is this possible!”
“Master Kong Ming has a perfect glazed golden body, how could he fall here!”
And Ba Tuo looked at the purple golden bowl in front of Jiang Yuan, and his expression was instantly shocked.
Although he had thought about this possibility before coming here!
But now that he actually heard the news of Kong Ming’s death, he still couldn’t believe it.
This is a saint from the third heaven, and he is also a Bodhisattva from Xiaoleiyin Temple.
The Bodhisattva who cultivated his glazed golden body to great perfection.
This is the place where heaven and earth do not exist, and the great road does not exist.
If we talk about the life-saving ability, Kongming can be ranked at the forefront among his peers. Even if his life-saving ability is compared with Kongming, it may not be better than Kongming.
next moment.
Ba Tuo came back to his senses instantly and looked at the purple golden bowl in front of Jiang Yuan, with a hint of greed in his eyes.
As the demon saint of the third heaven.
He naturally knows the value of holy weapons.
Especially this is a holy weapon that can protect the soul.
The effect of this thing in the hands of others is not as powerful as in the hands of Kong Ming.
But because this is a holy weapon that protects the soul, its value also exceeds the value of holy weapons of the same level.
Especially for a demon saint like him, when it comes to the power of the soul, he is inferior among saints of the same level.
The soul is also the natural weakness of Demon Saint.
In this case, a holy weapon that can protect the soul is like giving help in the snow, and the effect is extremely powerful.
Qingling also glanced at Ba Tuo and noticed the greed in his eyes.
She said as she approached Jiang Yuan.
“Okay! Take this purple golden bowl back!”
Jiang Yuan looked at the two who were closer and smiled again.
Following his thoughts.
The purple golden bowl suspended in front of him instantly turned into a ray of light and escaped into his eyebrows.
Then he appeared in his spiritual platform, suspended above the soul.
at this time.
Qing Ling and Ba Tuo were already halfway through the journey from the entrance to Yaochi to Jiang Yuan.
Qing Ling's eyes were a little sad as he said, "Looking at it this way, Master Kong Ming has really fallen?"
Jiang Yuan nodded and affirmed: "Kong Ming has indeed fallen."
“How did Master Kong Ming fall? Do you know?” Qing Ling asked again.
Jiang Yuan smiled and was about to make some random remarks when Ba Tuo suddenly spoke.
“Boy, what about Fushan? Where is he now?”
Jiang Yuan's mouth that was about to open closed again, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
Then he got up from the ground.
He patted the dust on his body.
“Boy, stop dawdling, if you know something, tell me quickly!”
Bato’s eyes were sharp.
Jiang Yuan smiled again and raised his hand to point to the roasted lamb in front of him that was exuding an alluring aroma.
“Did you see it? This is the Fushan in your mouth.”
As soon as these words came out.
Qing Ling and Ba Tuo both looked shocked and looked surprised.
"What?"
Batuo was also shocked immediately, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
His eyes quickly fell on the roasted lamb next to Jiang Yuan.
At this moment, when Ba Tuo was in a trance.
Boom—
Jiang Yuan's body roared.
He instantly activated the magical power of the secret realm of the heart.
The blood flowing through the heart begins to split and fuse, classified into countless tiny particles, and then burns crazily in the secret realm here.
Fusing and burning with fission.
In an instant, the majestic power of Qi and blood was released from the secret realm of his heart and integrated into every corner of his body.
The majestic power of qi and blood filled the cells in his body, making Jiang Yuan feel that the power bursting out of his body could destroy everything.
Such an astonishing burst of energy and blood instantly attracted the attention of Qing Ling and Ba Tuo.
But when their eyes moved here.
Jiang Yuan's figure has disappeared here.
In an instant.
Jiang Yuan appeared in front of Ba Tuo.
The fists grew from small to large, filling his entire pupils.
A strong crisis of death enveloped his heart
"impossible!"
Ba Tuo looked horrified, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Qing Ling on the side noticed the power of qi and blood exploding in Jiang Yuan's body, and also looked frightened.
"How can this be!"
She murmured.
Boom—
Following the fall of Jiang Yuan.
There was a sudden roar here.
Before Ba Tuo could make any reaction, his head was shattered by Jiang Yuan's punch.
As Jiang Yuan pulled his palm out of the blood mist, a small snake that looked like a real soul was also quietly held in Jiang Yuan's hand.
“How is this possible!!”
Qingling murmured again, completely unable to believe the scene in front of her.
Ba Tuo, a majestic third-level demon saint, fell into Jiang Yuan's hands so easily.
This scene completely shattered her worldview.
“How is this possible!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"How can it be!"
Qingling murmured, swallowed, and looked a little messy.
Then he continued to murmur: "How could the Demon Saint of the Third Heaven do it so easily?"
She calmed down and looked at Jiang Yuan: "Didn't you just... reach the ninth level of the Four Pole Realm before? Didn't you just participate in the alliance battle not long ago?"
Jiang Yuan nodded: "Yes! That's right!"
While speaking.
Another purple-gold light shot out from between Jiang Yuan's eyebrows, and the purple-gold bowl appeared in front of him.
Jiang Yuan grabbed Ba Tuo's soul and threw it into the purple golden bowl.
As the golden light of the Purple Gold Bowl flourishes, Buddhist inscriptions appear.
Ba Tuo’s soul was also instantly sucked into the Purple Gold Bowl and suppressed at the bottom of the Purple Gold Bowl.
“Okay! It’s done!”
Jiang Yuan clapped his hands with a look of satisfaction on his face.
It was really too easy to take action at the moment when Ba Tuo lost his guard and was in a daze.
Especially since this place has been separated from Yaochi, his outbursts can be even more unscrupulous.
In the Yaochi, he was also worried that as long as the movement was slightly louder, it might trigger a forbidden reaction in the Yaochi.
No matter how extraordinary his physical body is now, he dare not say that he can not be afraid of the restrictions here.
From what Ye Chanxi said before, he knew what kind of power Gutianting was.
The Great Sifang Emperors of ancient heaven are the beings who have stepped into the taboo realm, and are the true deities.
Beyond the great emperors of the four directions, there is also the co-lord of heaven, the emperor of heaven who governs heaven.
For a force of this level, the heavenly ban must be extremely terrifying.
If it is really triggered, as long as a little bit of power is revived, the threat to yourself will be huge.
Looking at Jiang Yuan taking the purple golden bowl back to the Meixin platform.
Qing Ling murmured: "Is this the end?"
Jiang Yuan nodded: "Of course it's over! Is it possible that the fairy still has compassion for this demon saint?"
Hearing this, Qing Ling shook his head repeatedly: "Of course not, I just can't believe that you were only at the ninth level of the Four Pole Realm during the alliance battle two months ago."
“How could you kill the Demon Saint from the Third Heaven in an instant now?”
Jiang Yuan smiled: "Two months ago was two months ago, and now is now."
“I’m going to treat the fairy to a barbecue, please keep this a secret for me!”
Qing Ling looked at Jiang Yuan's gaze, and the pressure in her heart suddenly increased.
Just now I saw with my own eyes the demon saint from the third level of heaven being killed by Jiang Yuan with one punch.
At this time, I saw Jiang Yuan's sharp gaze again, and naturally the pressure was huge.
How could she not understand that even the demon saints of the Third Heaven could not withstand Jiang Yuan's punch?
Although this was only when Ba Tuo was in a trance and without any precautions.
But at this stage of Ba Tuo, a sneak attack or not can no longer determine victory or defeat.
Since Jiang Yuan can kill Ba Tuo, who is in the third level of the Demon Saint, with one punch, even if he is fully alert, he can only take a few more punches at most.
The results are not much different.
They all end up falling here.
Qing Ling nodded repeatedly and said: "No problem!"
Jiang Yuan smiled: "Then come over! I'll treat you to the demon saint's barbecue. I believe the fairy has never eaten the barbecue of the third-level demon saint!"
Qing Ling shook her head slightly: "No!"
Jiang Yuan smiled again and raised his hand to lift Ba Tuo's true body on the ground.
With his thoughts, Ba Tuo's body was instantly compressed by him.
In a blink of an eye, it turned into a big snake only twenty centimeters thick.
next moment.
Jiang Yuan pocketed the big snake in his hand.
“Let’s go!”
After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuan led Qing Ling towards the front.
At this time, Qing Ling was following Jiang Yuan, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Now she naturally knows that Jiang Yuan does not have much ill intentions towards her and will not take action against her.
Subsequently.
Qing Ling looked at Jiang Yuan's back with a complicated expression.
Before coming, she had no idea that the truth would be like this?
The goat that Jiang Yuan just roasted with the real fire of the sun turned out to be Fushan Demon Saint.
When she heard that sentence, she didn't believe it at all.
It’s not just the reason why Fushan of the Third Heaven became Jiang Yuan’s food.
Another factor is the size of the demon saint's true body, how come it is as big as that of an ordinary goat.
But after seeing Jiang Yuan compressing Ba Tuo's body shape with her own eyes, she knew she was wrong.
Jiang Yuan has extraordinary attainments in space, even here, there is no place for avenues.
Jiang Yuan's space attainments are also extraordinary, and he can easily compress the size of a demon saint.
It can even cross multiple dimensions in an instant and appear in front of Ba Tuo, leaving Ba Tuo with no time to recover or react.
At this point.
How come she doesn’t understand.
The disappeared Demon Saint Fushan and Master Kongming all died in Jiang Yuan's hands in all likelihood.
So it’s no wonder that no matter how they sent messages to Master Kongming before, they never got any reply.
Why did Fushan also get no reply?
Because they probably all fell into the hands of Jiang Yuan.
Based on Jiang Yuan's performance in killing Ba Tuo, she knew that it would be easy for Jiang Yuan Yao to kill Kong Ming and Fu Shan.
Since both of them have completely perished, how can there be any reply?
So why did Jiang Yuan have Master Kong Ming’s holy weapon, Zijin Bowl.
Because Kongming fell into the hands of Jiang Yuan.
Fushan is even worse.
After his death, his true body will become Jiang Yuan’s food to satisfy Jiang Yuan’s appetite.
Thinking of this, her heart became extremely complicated.
No one could have imagined that the mighty Demon Saint of the Third Heaven would end up like this.
Thinking of this, Qing Ling also sighed lightly.
“What are you sighing about?”
Jiang Yuan's voice suddenly rang in her ears.
Hearing this, Qing Ling's heart suddenly trembled, and then he quickly said: "It's nothing! I'm just lamenting the impermanence of things in the world!"
She looked at Jiang Yuan with a complicated expression and said, "No one will believe it. Ba Tuo actually fell into your hands, and he fell so peacefully!"
Jiang Yuan smiled: "It's just relying on the special environment here!"
“This place is a place where the great road does not exist, and it has lost the blessing of the great road.”
“The so-called Demon Saint is just a relatively powerful cave heaven realm, it’s nothing!”
“After we go out, we should still be unable to defeat him!”
“After all, here, you are not even strong enough!”
Qing Ling sighed slightly and said, "That being said, your achievements are enough to become a myth and a legend!"
“Even Dao Wu Jiu, who is ranked first on the Supreme List, is probably no match for you now!”
Jiang Yuan smiled and was noncommittal.
Then he sat on the ground and said, "Sit down! Wait for about one stick of incense, and the roast lamb will be ready to eat!"
Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Qing Ling's expression kept changing.
When Jiang Yuan said these words, she felt that she was not in front of a third-level demon saint.
But an ordinary roasted whole lamb.
But when she heard the alluring fragrance wafting in front of her, she knew that this was indeed the roasted demon saint's true body.
If it weren’t for the flesh and blood of the Demon Saint, how could she be so alluring and seductive.
