Chapter 729: Breach of Contract
"It is indeed a place of opportunity!" Qin Ziling's eyes lit up and he bent his knees slightly. With a "bang", the ground cracked and mud and grass splashed everywhere. Qin Ziling soared into the sky like a cannonball, clenched his fists, and bombarded the descendants of the Basaheb snake several miles away.
The fist was like a meteor, breaking through the void and emitting a red light.
The aura of the Basaheb species feels comparable to that of a seventh-grade true immortal, which is just right for him to engage in close combat. This is the most primitive and extremely effective method of body refining.
Feeling the surging blood and energy in Qin Ziling, the dark pupils of the Basaheb species suddenly shrank, revealing an extremely cold and bloodthirsty gaze. The dark body suddenly straightened up, and it lashed at Qin Ziling fiercely like an iron whip.
The space was turbulent, the wind was howling, and large tracts of grass were blown off and fell to the ground.
“Bang!”
Qin Ziling's iron fist hit directly on the body of the Basah Snake descendant.
Scales, flesh and blood exploded together.
The thick body of the descendant of the Basilisk leaned back like a big tree and fell heavily to the ground with a bang. Blood flowed out, dyeing the grassland red.
The python's eyes showed fear, and it opened its mouth and let out a sharp cry at Qin Ziling. A series of pitch-black ice swords actually shot out from its mouth and shot towards Qin Ziling.
Seeing this, Qin Ziling not only did not dodge, but rushed forward with his fist.
Fist shadows were everywhere.
“Dang! Dang! Dang!”
The pitch-black ice swords were actually shattered by Qin Ziling's iron fist.
The descendant of the basset snake twisted its bloody body and swam rapidly along the grass.
Dragon roams the earth!
Seeing this, Qin Ziling used the skills he had learned many years ago, but now he used them with indescribable mystery and swiftness.
His entire body flew out almost sticking to the grass, and in a blink of an eye he caught up with the remnant of the python and jumped onto its body.
The descendant of the Nappa snake was frightened, and its long and thick body instantly wrapped around Qin Ziling, trying to strangle him.
But Qin Ziling's entire body was made of refined skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs, without a single flaw. He looked as if he were made of pure gold. When the descendants of the Basaheb snake strangled him, they were actually making him stronger and tougher.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Qin Ziling punched the python's head hard.
In just a few hits, the head of the python was smashed and its body loosened.
Qin Ziling stood up from the Basah with blood all over his body, feeling indescribably refreshed.
At this moment, Lan Ran in the cave world asked to come out. Qin Ziling's mind moved, and Lan Ran appeared out of thin air.
Lan Ran was shocked when he saw Qin Ziling covered in blood and filled with murderous aura. There was a descendant of a python lying beside him, its head smashed beyond recognition and bloody.
"I was lucky just now. I killed a descendant of a Basque snake that is comparable to a seventh-grade true immortal. The descendant of a Basque snake is a feminine and water-based ferocious beast, and is the most suitable for you to take as a tonic." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
"The descendants of divine beasts are more suitable for nourishing immortals who practice martial arts, and water gives birth to wood. I heard that Xiao Qing and Xia Yan both practice wood-attributed martial arts techniques, so they should be the most suitable tonic for them." Lan Ran said.
"Both are suitable, both are suitable." Qin Ziling said embarrassedly.
Lan Ran rolled her eyes at Qin Ziling, but she didn't have the heart to deliberately make things difficult for him.
Half a day ago, Xiao Qing and Xia Yan deliberately kept her and told her many things about Qin Ziling in private. She was deeply shocked and moved.
"Then you can send some to Xiao Qing and the others, and leave some for us." Lan Ran said.
"Okay!" Qin Ziling breathed a sigh of relief, took out the Black Dragon Sword, cut off a large piece and moved it into the Qiankun Cave Heaven, leaving a piece on his side. He took Lan Ran to find a clear lake, then set up a big pot and made a big pot of snake soup with meat.
Of course, seven or eight out of ten of them went into Qin Ziling's stomach. Although Lan Ran was a seventh-grade True Immortal, in terms of the ability to refine and absorb, he was still far behind Qin Ziling, who had a very solid foundation and was a fellow practitioner of the third path.
The flesh and blood of the descendants of the seventh-grade True Immortal Basah Snake is indeed not comparable to the meat of the earth wolf, and is extremely nutritious.
After eating the flesh of the Basque snake, Qin Ziling's pores began to spew out essence, which nourished the surrounding grass. It actually grew a lot taller in a short period of time, and its branches and leaves became as green as jade, sparkling in the sun.
Since Qin Ziling stepped into the fifth-grade True Immortal and fifth-grade Cave Heaven realms, his cultivation has been steadily improving every day, but the speed has become relatively slow.
The flesh and blood of this descendant of the Basah Snake not only contains extremely powerful and pure energy, but also contains a hint of essence from the bloodline of the ancient Basah Snake, which has unique effects.
After Qin Ziling finished eating a big pot of snake soup, he finally felt the long-lost leap in improvement.
"Yes, yes, no wonder it is said that the relics of the divine beasts in the Dark Emperor Heaven are one of the great opportunities. The blood and flesh of the relics of the divine beasts are indeed extraordinary. As long as I can find a few different relics of the seventh-grade True Immortal level to supplement my body, my body refining and qi refining should both be able to reach the sixth grade." Qin Ziling said.
“You are so powerful now. If both of you can enter the sixth level…” Lan Ran’s eyes suddenly lit up.
"Without the help of Taoist treasures, it is probably still impossible to reach the level of ninth-grade True Immortal. After all, the gap between the later realms is too large. However, if one of them can reach the seventh grade, fighting against a ninth-grade True Immortal should not be a problem. If both of them can reach the seventh grade, they should be considered powerful among the ninth-grade True Immortals." Qin Ziling said.
"As long as you step into the seventh level, it is equivalent to a ninth-level true immortal!" Lan Ran was shocked when he heard this.
This was something she had never heard of before.
There is a difference of two grades between the seventh grade and the ninth grade.
Although there are only two grades, in fact the gap between each grade is as insurmountable as a chasm.
Huangfu Xuan was a rare genius disciple in the Jiuxuan Sect throughout thousands of years, but he eventually fell in front of this chasm.
She herself was considered to be a person of extraordinary talent and had some resources at hand, but let alone crossing the threshold between the eighth and ninth grades, even the threshold between the seventh and eighth grades, without a great opportunity, her hope would be slim.
Tai Shi Ba is a rare genius from the ancient Tai Shi family of the Golden Dragon in the West Sea of the Great Barbarians. He has pure blood, natural supernatural powers, and an extremely strong physique, which is equivalent to practicing both Taoism and martial arts. It is said that only after becoming an eighth-rank true immortal for hundreds of years can he barely compete with the most ordinary ninth-rank true immortals.
The opening of Dark Emperor Heaven this time gathered so many geniuses from the Great Savage Sea and even the Great Wilderness. Tai Shi Ba ranked third. It is not difficult to imagine how outstanding and powerful he is!
But now, as long as Qin Ziling reaches the seventh level in one of his spiritual attainments, he will be comparable to a ninth-level true immortal. If he reaches the seventh level in two of his spiritual attainments, he will be comparable to a powerful ninth-level true immortal. In comparison, even a genius like Tai Shi Ba can only be regarded as having mediocre talent. How could Lan Ran not be extremely shocked!
“Haha, Master Lan Feng, don’t think it’s easy for me to make it. In fact, I went from the fifth rank to the sixth rank, and then from the sixth rank to the seventh rank. Compared with people at the same level, the resources I needed are many times more advanced and many times more. It’s not that easy, not that easy!” Qin Ziling saw Lan Ran was shocked and waved his hands modestly.
"That's for sure. A seventh-grade person can be comparable to a ninth-grade person. Who else from ancient times to the present can do that?" Lan Ran nodded.
Qin Ziling smiled noncommittally upon hearing this, and then said: "But this Dark Emperor Heaven is full of opportunities for me. As long as I can seize them, I may be able to make rapid progress. The same goes for you!"
"Yes, there are indeed opportunities everywhere. After I ate the remains of the Basah Snake, I felt my immortal power becoming more powerful and my body becoming stronger. As long as I get some more opportunities, even without the seventh-grade 'Du' Pill', I will have a good chance of surviving the seventh wind and fire disaster." Lan Ran said.
"No hurry, no hurry. It would be best if we could find the Wind and Fire Ascension Fruit. Then everything will be safe!" Qin Ziling said.
Lan Ran felt a little warm at heart when he heard this, and he smiled at Qin Ziling for the first time and said, "There is no such thing as a foolproof way to survive the wind and fire tribulation, especially after the seventh time. I'm satisfied as long as I have some confidence, and I will definitely not waste time waiting any longer."
In the sunshine, on the green grass, beside the turquoise and calm lake, Lan Ran was dressed in blue, with black hair like clouds, a plump yet graceful figure, and skin as white and crystal as mutton-fat jade. Suddenly she smiled, and for a moment Qin Ziling was a little dazed.
"In fact, Master Lan Feng should smile more often. He looks so good when he smiles." Qin Ziling said subconsciously while in a daze.
"Really? Then I will try to smile more in the future." Lan Ran raised her hand to smooth her hair that was messed up by the wind and said with a smile.
Something is wrong. What did Xiao Qing and Xia Yan say to Lan Ran? I shouldn't have been a gentleman just now. I should have eavesdropped on what they said.
Although Lan Ran smiled even more beautifully, Qin Ziling felt inexplicably nervous because this was so unlike Lan Ran's style.
"Okay, okay!" Qin Ziling nodded repeatedly with a palpitating heart, but he did not dare to look at Lan Ran again.
Seeing this, a sly and complacent look flashed across Lan Ran's eyes, which were as clear as gems.
…
The grassland is vast.
Green grass stretches to the sky.
Seven days later, Qin Ziling and Lan Ran had only walked halfway and had not yet reached the mountainous area at the end of the grassland.
Of course, this has something to do with the special environment in Dark Emperor Heaven. One cannot fly the treasure as quickly as one pleases in the outside world.
Here you can only walk on the ground or leap at low altitude, and you must always avoid the space storm zone and check whether there are any incomplete forbidden formations left over from the ancients to avoid stepping in accidentally.
During these seven days, Qin Ziling and Lan Ran did not encounter any powerful species of divine beasts like the Basah Snake on the grassland. However, powerful species of divine birds flew across the sky from time to time.
Those surviving species of divine birds are even more powerful than the surviving species of the bass snakes. They are familiar with the aerial environment and are extremely fast. They are the kings of the sky in this small world. Even with Qin Ziling's strength, he doesn't dare to attack them rashly.
Although he did not encounter any other species of mythical beasts like the Basashi species, he still managed to capture and kill some of the species of mythical beasts that were comparable to the fourth or fifth rank true immortals during these seven days.
Qin Ziling's strength is increasing every day, and so are Lan Ran and the Wuji Sect disciples in the Qiankun Cave Heaven World.
During these seven days, Qin Ziling and Lan Ran also met some people who entered the Dark Emperor Heaven to look for opportunities from afar. However, due to the distance and the influence of the environment, the other party could not see through Qin Ziling and Lan Ran's cultivation, and did not dare to have any other thoughts easily, and just avoided them from afar.
Although Qin Ziling could see the other party's cultivation level to some extent with his powerful soul, he would never take the initiative to kill or rob, so if the other party gave way, he would also give way to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
One day, Qin Ziling and Lan Ran were on their way when they suddenly heard the sound of fierce fighting in the distance. Blood and precious light shot up into the sky, emitting a strong and powerful blood energy.
"Do you want to go and take a look?" Lan Ran asked.
Her strength has greatly increased now, and she has a Taoist treasure in her hand. She has not gained much in the past few days and has felt a little boring.
"It should be a relic of a creature comparable to an eighth-grade true immortal. It would be good to go and take a look." Qin Ziling said, twitching his nose in the wind.
As they were talking, the two of them had already rushed towards the place where the fight was taking place.
Soon, the two saw an eighth-rank true immortal fighting fiercely with a relic that looked like a wild boar and was as red as flaming fire on a large raised mound on the grassland. Two relic cubs and two seventh-rank true immortals were lying beside them.
The chests of the two seventh-grade True Immortals were pierced by sharp weapons, and the holes were charred black, as if they had been burned by fire.
The eighth-grade True Immortal had a very high level of cultivation, and possessed a flying sword treasure that shone brightly with golden light.
This treasure is extremely powerful. It radiates golden light and can transform into flying swords all over the sky, which kill people everywhere, leaving no way for them to escape.
The boar-like relic was also extremely powerful. It could spit out flames when it opened its mouth, engulfing and burning the flying swords in the sky. Two red fangs broke out of its body and turned into two sharp scimitars, which rushed towards the golden flying sword and fought with it in the air.
"It looks like a pig, and is red like flaming fire. It is a descendant of the wild boar-like beast!" Lan Ran was born in Jiuxuan Sect and is very knowledgeable. He recognized the origin of the wild boar-like creature at a glance and said with his eyes shining.
"You two fellow Taoists have come at the right time. Please lend me a hand and work together to kill this mountain jellyfish. I will give you two mountain jellyfish legs." The eighth-grade true immortal was overjoyed when he saw Lan Ran and Qin Ziling coming.
Lan Ran looked at Qin Ziling.
"You go up. This is a rare opportunity for you to hone your skills. I'll give you a raid." Qin Ziling nodded slightly at Lan Ran and transmitted his voice.
Lan Ran nodded, then jumped forward and said, "Daoyou, I'm here to lend you a hand."
After saying that, Lan Ran directly sacrificed the Ice Evil Pearl.
The Ice Evil Pearl was suspended in the air, emitting icy light that transformed into sharp swords that charged towards the mountain jelly descendants.
When the eighth-grade True Immortal saw that Lan Ran had sacrificed a Taoist treasure, he was surprised at first, and then a hint of burning greed flashed in his eyes.
"This beast has been injured by me. Fellow Daoist, you have a Taoist treasure in your hand. If we join forces, we will be able to hunt it down!" The eighth-grade True Immortal shouted, vigorously urging the flying sword Taoist treasure.
Lan Ran had Qin Ziling to help him, so he had no worries. He also wanted to see how strong he was now, so he shouted, "Okay!"
After saying that, Lan Ran used all his strength to activate the Ice Demon Pearl.
The Ice Evil Pearl is a top-grade yellow-level Taoist treasure, even more powerful than the flying sword of the eighth-grade True Immortal. Lan Ran used all his strength to exert it, and within a few strokes, several wounds appeared on the body of the Shan Gao Yizhong, with his skin torn and flesh exposed and blood flowing.
Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise and sinister cunning flashed across the eyes of the eighth-grade True Immortal, and the light of the Flying Sword Dao Treasure dimmed unconsciously, showing a sign of weakness.
Lan Ran didn't care about so many things and just focused on attacking the remnants of the mountain gypsum.
The mountain gypsum relic was indeed injured just as the Eighth-Rank True Immortal said. If Lan Ran had not been involved, if it wanted to escape, the Eighth-Rank True Immortal might not have been able to hunt it down.
But now with Lan Ran's participation, even though the eighth-grade True Immortal deliberately withdrew some of his strength, the mountain calamus species ultimately could not escape this disaster. The two sides fought for a long time, and the big mound was razed to the ground. Finally, the eighth-grade True Immortal found an opportunity and killed it with a sword.
As soon as the eighth-rank True Immortal killed it, he immediately put it into his storage ring. At the same time, he quickly moved and collected the two cubs and the corpses and magic weapons of the two seventh-rank True Immortals.
"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. We will see you later." The Eighth-Rank True Immortal glanced at the Ice Evil Pearl hanging above Lan Ran's head, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes, then he bowed to Lan Ran and said.
He consumed a lot of his spiritual power in this battle and suffered some injuries. However, Lan Ran's spiritual power was powerful and her Taoist treasures were extremely powerful. He thought that he would definitely not be able to keep her. If he was not careful, he would be hurt even more. So he had to give up the greedy idea of killing and robbing.
"Fellow Daoist, this is not very considerate of you! Where are the two mountain paste legs you promised me?" Qin Ziling stepped forward and said upon seeing this.
"Haha, kid, do you believe that kind of thing?" The Eighth-Rank True Immortal had gained a lot from this trip, and a huge increase in his cultivation was just around the corner. He was in a very good mood, and he couldn't help but laugh with a mocking look on his face when he heard that.
"In this world, the trust between people is destroyed by people like you." Qin Ziling looked at the eighth-grade true immortal and shook his head.
"Haha, kid, I'm in a good mood today. I won't kill you. This is also a face-giving to the fairy who just made a great effort. Otherwise, based on what you just said, you will definitely die!" The eighth-rank true immortal laughed out loud.
"Then I have to thank you! But since you let me go, I will let you go too. I will give you a quick death." Qin Ziling said.
"Haha!" The eighth-rank true immortal laughed out loud as if he had heard a huge joke.
Upon seeing this, Lan Ran looked at the Eighth-Rank True Immortal as if he were a pitiful creature. He stepped back and gave the main seat to Qin Ziling.
The eighth-rank true immortal's laughter suddenly stopped, and he finally realized that something was wrong.
But it's too late.
The man standing in front of him, who had been ignored by him from the beginning, suddenly changed one hand into a dragon claw, and held a black dragon sword in the other hand. He stomped his foot on the ground, and the whole person soared into the sky, and actually rushed directly towards him.
After the battle with the descendants of the Basagostaki snake seven days ago, Qin Ziling had a clearer understanding of the strength of his body. After being nourished by the flesh and blood of the descendants of the Basagostaki snake, his body is now even stronger.
Qin Ziling rushed forward, just like a meteor, his whole body was burning, like a fire god.
The blood and energy burst out from his body and transformed into a larger shadow that appeared behind him. It rushed towards the Eighth-Rank True Immortal with him, bringing with it a tremendous pressure as huge as a mountain and as vast as the sea.
The face of the Eighth-Rank True Immortal changed suddenly upon seeing this, and the golden sword treasure broke through the air and killed towards Qin Ziling. Countless golden rays burst out again, changing into countless sword lights that covered the sky and killed him. Among them, a golden sword treasure was hidden in the overwhelming sword light, and it was the most deadly sword.
