Chapter 176 Husband and wife are of one mind
As they were all geniuses from the righteous path, the sudden appearance of the five people from the Tiandao Sect caused a lot of shock.
But when Li Yu appeared on the stone steps, all the demons present felt it was natural.
The female cultivators from the Demon Flame Sect are not worthy of the ones from the Heavenly Dao Sect at all. Those people accepted them as their Taoist partners just to obtain an identity so that they could cause trouble at the Demonic Dao Ceremony.
As for Li Yu, it was justified.
Didn’t you see the saint’s personal maid holding his arm so intimately?
It is said that even the Saint herself is pregnant with his child, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is half a disciple of the Xuanyin Sect.
Li Yu's appearance attracted people's attention for a moment, and soon, everyone's attention was focused on several people from the Tiandao Sect.
In this short period of time, they have caught up with Liu Yang, Qin Song, Ouyang Long and others.
"too slow."
"Try harder."
"We'll be waiting for you out front."
The five people just smiled at them meaningfully and continued walking along the stone steps.
Although they did not make fierce taunts when there were more than three people, these simple sentences were more insulting than direct taunts.
The three of them were the most core disciples in their own sect. They had never suffered such an injustice before. They wanted to catch up and avenge themselves, but the distance between them and the five people was getting farther and farther.
Both of them have reached the ninth level of the golden elixir with a single spiritual vein, and both of them are cultivating five spiritual veins, but there is still a certain gap in strength between them.
Ouyang Long and others have reached the ninth level of the Golden Elixir, but they are not at the peak of the ninth level. They still need at least ten years of practice, or several ninth-level demon pills of the same attributes, to reach the perfection of the Golden Elixir.
Tang Yuan and the others' Golden Elixir Nine Transformations are different from theirs. The Heavenly Dao Secret Realm is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy among the many worlds, big and small. They should have reached the Golden Elixir Nine Transformations a long time ago. I'm afraid some of them have reached the peak of the Nine Transformations and started trying to brew the elixir into an infant. Their magic power is also deeper than the three of them.
At this moment, most people's attention was on the uninvited guests from the Tiandao Sect.
Li Yu said goodbye to Qing'er and continued walking along the stone steps with Nangong Chan.
Not long after, they came to the second generation immortals who had reached the sixth level of the golden elixir.
These geniuses of the demon world, and those outside the peak who were paying attention to him, were not surprised that he appeared in this position. He was the young master of Kunlun, the future leader of the sect. Even though he had just formed his elixir not long ago and was not as strong as Liu Yang and others, it was normal that he was stronger than those from the Xueyin Sect and the Tiansha Palace.
Nangong Chan didn't even look at these people and continued to climb the stairs.
Li Yu looked at these people sitting cross-legged on the ground, circulating all their magic power and struggling to resist the pressure from this place. He paused, took out a bottle of top-grade third-grade recovery pills, and threw one to each of them.
These second-generation immortals subconsciously took the pills thrown by Li Yu, and their expressions were stunned.
They had seen third-grade Qi-recovering pills before, but this was the first time they had seen top-grade ones.
Although the Qi-Restoring Pill cannot allow them to break through to a higher level, it can allow them to quickly recover their magic power and easily resist the pressure of this level.
They also have recovery pills, but those are only used as a means to reverse the situation when their lives are in danger. After all, there are no third-grade alchemists in the magic world, and every third-grade pill is hard to come by.
Although the fight for the Nine Netherworld Ranking is also very important, you can still persevere by gritting your teeth and there is no need to waste precious elixirs.
What they didn't expect was that the young master of Kunlun, who was just an acquaintance, would actually give them such a precious thing. This person was indeed a friend worth making close friends with. Several of them clasped their fists and spoke.
"Thank you!"
"After the ceremony, Brother Li, are you interested in visiting my Xueyin Sect?"
"I heard that Brother Li likes delicious food. Why don't you come to my Five Poison Sect? The food of the Five Poison Sect is well-known in the magic world."
"Brother Li, don't be fooled by him. The so-called delicacies of the Five Poison Sect are just fried insects..."
"How can you vulgar people understand the deliciousness of insects?"
…
While climbing the mountain, Li Yu would also maintain the network of contacts he had just established.
A few worthless Qi-restoring pills can further strengthen the relationship with these second-generation immortals.
What is precious is not the elixir, but this rare thought.
After passing by these people, Li Yu continued to move forward. Soon, the two geniuses of the seventh level of the Golden Core from the Xuanyin Sect and the Puppet Sect, and even the only genius of the eighth level of the Golden Core from the Soul Refining Sect, were left behind by Li Yu.
At this time, he finally got more people's attention.
"He even surpassed Zhang Qing."
"Zhang Qing is the eighth level of the Golden Core."
"He should have just formed his elixir not long ago..."
"Isn't this strange? Don't you think about what kind of sect Kunlun is? What kind of sect is Xuanyin Sect? He is the future head of Kunlun and the Taoist partner of the Saint of Xuanyin Sect. How can we imagine the cultivation resources he can get?"
A group of demon disciples and some demon elders were a little surprised at the strength displayed by Li Yu.
After all, he was less than 25 years old, and those he surpassed were at least twice his age. It took the sect decades of cultivation to give them their current strength. Even Kunlun would not pour so many resources into him in such a short period of time.
In addition to him, there are many other geniuses in Kunlun.
But considering that he will inherit the position of the head of Kunlun Sect in the future, and is also the Taoist companion of the Holy Maiden of the Xuanyin Sect, and has a relationship with both the righteous and the evil, he is unique in the world of immortal cultivation, and the resources he enjoys are not comparable to those of the geniuses of second-rate sects like the Xueyin Sect and the Moyan Sect.
At this moment, Elder Xuanyuan was also sighing.
Li Yu did not get many resources for cultivation from Xuanyin Sect. He did not expect Kunlun to value him so much and spend so many resources on him...
Somewhere on the stone steps.
Nangong Chan looked at Li Yu, who had been following her and walking side by side with her since just now, and felt a little surprised.
She was well aware of Li Yu's cultivation level.
He has one level of golden elixir in his five spiritual veins, and has one more martial arts golden elixir than them. In terms of magic power alone, it should be between the sixth and seventh levels of golden elixir in a single spiritual vein. However, the pressure of this level can only be endured by a golden elixir at least in the ninth level.
It’s not that Li Yu couldn’t withstand the pressure here. He also practiced martial arts and even cultivated a martial arts golden elixir. The pressure from the magic practitioners didn’t have that much impact on him, but it shouldn’t be so easy for him.
Soon, beads of sweat appeared on Li Yu's forehead, and his steps became much heavier than before.
Nangong Chan no longer doubted, rolled her eyes at Li Yu, and said, "I'll go up first."
She didn't say much and was still sulking about Li Yu abducting Qing'er.
That silly girl Qing'er, she was just given some pills and combed her hair a few times, but she stole her heart and ignored their years of master-servant relationship...
Li Yu neither bought her a bunch of beautiful fairy clothes nor made her hairpins by hand... She was really a country girl who had never seen the world.
I'll scold that silly girl when I get back. The important thing now is to continue climbing the stairs.
Somewhere ahead, Liu Yang and the other two looked at the five people from the Tiandao Sect who were about ten to twenty steps ahead of them, and completely gave up the idea of catching up with them.
The gap of ten levels may seem small, but having come this far, they have already felt the limit of their magic power. It is difficult to move forward one level, let alone above ten levels.
Although this does not represent the final ranking of the Jiuyou List, they have been suppressed by these people throughout their cultivation careers, and it is almost impossible for them to be their opponents in actual combat. The gap is even greater than it is now.
At this moment, a steady sound of footsteps was heard behind them.
The footsteps were slow but steady.
The three turned around and saw a figure walking towards them.
"Junior sister!"
"Miss Nangong!"
Liu Yang, Ouyang Long and Qin Song all spoke in shock.
The three of them have practiced for more than 20 years longer than her, and only with the sect's unlimited cultivation did they have their current strength.
Nangong Chan is naturally very talented, but she is too young after all. The future is her era. Liu Yang had just confirmed in the sect before the start of this ceremony that her cultivation level is the second level of the Five Spirit Veins Golden Elixir. Although it has surpassed others, there is still a gap of three levels between her and them .
That's why they didn't consider her as the final opponent.
But she didn't expect that with her power of the tenth level of golden elixir, she could actually get here.
They all seemed to have underestimated the horror of the Twin Sky Spiritual Veins.
It took Nangong Chan a full quarter of an hour to climb two flights of stone steps.
On a new layer of stone steps, Liu Yang and the other two were sitting cross-legged in meditation. They had obviously given up on moving forward and were concentrating on resisting the pressure from this level.
If you continue to move forward without knowing your own capabilities, it is very likely to backfire and you will not be able to withstand even this level of pressure. In previous competitions for the Nine Nether List, there have been cases where people had already made it into the top ten, but because they overestimated their own abilities, they continued to move forward, and eventually ran out of energy and fell out of the top ten.
Another quarter of an hour later, Nangong Chan took another step and stepped onto a higher level of stone steps with difficulty.
As if stimulated by her, Ouyang Long of the Soul Refining Sect also decided to give it a try. But just when he took that step, a powerful pressure came upon him, causing him to step back several steps. Not only did he not move to a higher level, but he retreated back to the previous level and fell behind Liu Yang and Qin Song.
Seeing this, Liu Yang and Qin Song would not act rashly.
Ouyang Long's face looked a little ugly.
At this time, footsteps were heard again behind him.
Ouyang Long looked puzzled. As far as he knew, there was no one who could reach this position. Could it be that he was from the Tiandao Sect again?
He turned his head and saw Li Yu walking up to the stairs on his level.
Ouyang Long was slightly stunned.
He really didn't expect that Li Yu could make it this far.
After all, he was more than 20 years older than Li Yu. He made friends with Li Yu mainly because of his status as a third-rank alchemist and the future headmaster of Kunlun. He never expected that Li Yu's strength was almost the same as his own.
Seeing that Ouyang Long's breathing was unstable, Li Yu threw another recovery pill at him.
Ouyang Long took it casually, and after discovering that it was a top-grade Qi-recovering pill, he looked at Li Yu in surprise, but he didn't hesitate to swallow it, then he bowed to Li Yu and said, "Thank you."
After sending out a pill, Li Yu didn't say much. After resting for a while, he continued to move to the next level.
The pressure here was not yet too much for him to bear.
But he still pretended to be very difficult, and took one step, but it took him a long time to move forward.
Seeing this, Ouyang Long thought for a moment and said casually, "Brother Li, I will lend you a helping hand!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yu felt a hand on his back, and a huge force came from behind, pushing him to the next level.
Afterwards, Ouyang Long, who had recovered his magic power, stepped into this level again.
There are not many people in both the righteous and evil worlds who can gain his recognition. Li Yu is one of them. Although they have only met twice, his words and actions are very much in line with Ouyang Long's temperament.
Li Yu bowed to Ouyang Long and said, "Thank you, Brother Ouyang."
Ouyang Long waved his hand and said, "It's just a small favor. You're welcome. I'll go have a drink with you after the ceremony."
Li Yu smiled and said, "I'm at your service anytime."
Ouyang Long looked ahead and asked, "Brother Li, do you want to continue?"
Li Yu looked at Nangong Chan who was on the steps in front of him and nodded.
Ouyang Long understood this. Men are never satisfied with being under women. He smiled and said, "I don't plan to continue. I might as well help Brother Li one more time."
Then, he looked at Qin Song and Liu Yang and said, "If you two are not going to go up, come and help."
Qin Song smiled and walked over slowly.
Liu Yang stood still, clasped his fists, and said, "I want to try again later."
This naturally means rejection.
He didn't actually plan to try again, but he was also unwilling to help Li Yu.
On the one hand, he was actually a little jealous of Li Yu, who was young and promising and even had to be treated politely by the sect's Nascent Soul Patriarch. More importantly, although he knew that the rumors about Li Yu and his junior sister were false, he also felt extremely uncomfortable.
Although Li Yu did not need Ouyang Long and Qin Song's help, it was only human nature to give and take.
He took out a few Qi-restoring pills, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much, both of you."
Of course, there is no share for Liu Yang among these pills .
Ouyang Long and Qin Song simply accepted the pills. Their positions on the stone steps were not part of the final ranking on the Nine Netherworld List. They had no chance of being in the top five anyway, so they might as well do Li Yu a favor.
The two of them worked together and quickly sent Li Yu to the next level.
This scene also caused an uproar among the onlookers.
What surprised them was that Kunlun’s young master could reach that position.
What was even more surprising was that Ouyang Long, who had always been unruly and looked down upon even the sect's Nascent Soul Patriarch, was actually willing to help him.
You know, they are competitors.
There is also Qin Song from the Puppet Sect. These two have a background in Spiritualization and their own strength far exceeds that of their peers. They will definitely be the helmsmen of the Soul Refining Sect and the Puppet Sect in the future, but they are willing to serve as a foil for a righteous disciple...
What kind of magic power does Li Yu have that can make these geniuses of the demon world, both men and women, willing to serve him?
On the stone steps, Li Yu and Nangong Chan stood together again.
Nangong Chan was speechless for a moment, she could never have imagined that Li Yu could come up like this.
Li Yu glanced at her and said, "Why are you still standing there? Turn around, I'll help you."
He knew the witch very well. With her competitive nature, she would never lag behind others in anything she did.
Ouyang Long gave him a lot of inspiration, and in order to help her, he could only come up with this solution.
He is a professional at fixing bugs.
Nangong Chan turned around, and Li Yu put his hand on her back. They both used their magic power at the same time. Li Yu only used less than 30% of his strength to send her to the next level.
Then, he looked at Nangong Chan who was standing there stupidly, stretched out his hand, and said, "Give me a hand!"
After Nangong Chan came to her senses, she held Li Yu's hand and pulled him up easily.
She stared at Li Yu blankly. She had never thought of climbing the stairs in this way, and no one had ever done it before.
First send one person to a higher level, and then pull the next person up, which means that every time the two of them have to fight against the pressure here together.
She has the strength of the tenth level of the Golden Core, and Li Yu's strength is above the sixth level of the Golden Core. After they join forces, the pressure from this position is nothing at all.
At the foot of the mountain, the demons who were watching were also stunned.
Is this possible?
The red-haired Yuanying from the Demon Flame Sect looked at Elder Xuanyuan and said in astonishment: "This is against the rules..."
The five people from the Tiandao Sect have varying strengths, and there is a gap of at least two levels between them. Even if they want to imitate them, they can't do it.
Elder Xuanyuan shrugged and said, "The rules of the ceremony do not prohibit this..."
An elder of the Soul Refining Sect glanced at the red-haired Nascent Soul Stage indifferently and said, "It is normal for other couples to be of one mind and support each other..."
Then, he looked at Elder Xuanyuan again and asked curiously, "I heard from my disciples that your Saint Daughter is pregnant with Young Master Kunlun's child. It's been a few months. Is it a boy or a girl..."
