Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

Chapter 282 Huang Li Seeks Help

Guigu Sect, Tiangui Peak.

Sect Master Tan Zhenren felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the menacing group of people approaching.

Especially the young man in a magnificent purple robe floating in the sky, and the old man in a silver robe.

The two stood in the void without relying on any magic or magical artifacts.

Ordinary Golden Core cultivators simply cannot do this.

Only by achieving the Nascent Soul stage and mastering the ability to communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can one do this.

"Two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, Master cannot defeat them by force."

Tan Zhenren was somewhat flustered, and looked at Guigu Zhenjun, who was dressed in black robes, with a worried expression on his face.

The Nascent Soul True Monarch is practically the top expert in the cultivation world today.

If there's any chance of advancing to the Golden Core stage...

The Nascent Soul realm is an insurmountable mountain that makes people hesitate to even attempt it.

Anyone who can reach this level possesses great supernatural powers, great perseverance, and great opportunities.

Even among Nascent Soul True Monarchs, there are differences in strength, but this is only relative.

Generally speaking, the differences between Nascent Soul True Monarchs are not significant.

Having followed Master Guigu for many years, Master Tan vaguely knew that his master seemed to have a significant background and sophisticated methods.

However, facing two cultivators of the same realm at the same time, they are already at a great disadvantage.

"Hmph, they're just two Nascent Soul cultivators from some backward, remote place. I don't even consider them a threat."

"Just guard the formation and don't come out."

Guigu Zhenjun clearly recognized the newcomer's identity, and his tone revealed disdain.

Immediately, his nascent soul energy surged, and he too leaped into the air, rising to the same height as the two newcomers:

"Who do we have here? It turns out to be True Lord Ziyang of the Ziyang Sect and True Lord Huangsha of the Qingfeng Pavilion."

Guigu Zhenjun gazed at the two with a calm expression, speaking in a light tone.

“True Lord Guigu, your actions in recent years have touched the foundations of the major sects of my Nine Swamps Continent. Considering that you are an outsider True Lord who is unfamiliar with the rules of this place, as long as you guarantee today that you will not arbitrarily intercept the Eye of the Spirit Spring in the future and make up for the losses of my major forces over the years, we can let bygones be bygones today.”

"Otherwise, today will be the day your Ghost Valley Sect is destroyed."

Of the two, the old man in the silver robe stroked his long beard, his tone unhurried yet gradually revealing a hint of threat.

"Hehe, the other Nascent Soul True Monarchs in Nine Ze Continents are all watching and waiting. Since an old fellow like you is so eager to die, this True Monarch will naturally not stop you."

Guigu Zhenjun merely chuckled upon hearing this, then his gaze fell upon the purple-robed youth beside him:

"If I remember correctly, the Ziyang Sect is located in the Great Wilderness Marsh, quite far from here. I don't recall ever touching the spiritual spring near the Ziyang Sect. Could this be considered... Ziyang True Monarch intervening to help someone in need?"

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Guigu's interpretation is not bad. The main reason I came to your sect this time is to find someone, and secondly, I have often heard that Fellow Daoist Guigu is extraordinary, so I wanted to broaden my horizons."

Ziyang Zhenjun chuckled, showing no embarrassment whatsoever about outnumbering the enemy.

On the contrary, he seemed very confident, as if he had Guigu Zhenjun completely under his control.

Gradually, three terrifying auras, capable of shaking heaven and earth, burst forth from the three individuals respectively.

The powerful auras collided, generating an invisible wave of energy that spread outwards.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred miles seemed to be drawn by some force, becoming restless and converging towards the direction of Tiangui Peak.

……

Mingling Peak.

Sensing something amiss, Lin Changsheng stood atop the mountain, gazing into the distance towards Tiangui Peak.

After advancing to the Golden Core realm, he became extremely sensitive to changes in the spiritual energy of the surrounding world.

Even though they were far apart, he could vaguely sense that terrifying aura that made his heart pound.

"Among the newcomers... there are two Nascent Soul cultivators!"

Lin Changsheng's tone was surprised, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

Upon advancing to the Golden Core stage, his perception abilities, which were attached to the Everlasting Spring Technique, became even stronger. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, no slight change in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth could escape his perception.

By manipulating the fluctuations of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he confirmed the cultivation level of the newcomer.

There are two Nascent Soul True Monarchs. I wonder if True Monarch Guigu can handle them.

Lin Changsheng was somewhat worried.

The struggle between Nascent Soul cultivators has already exceeded the scope of his current ability to intervene.

All I could do was silently cheer for Guigu Zhenjun in my heart.

The reason is simple: if Guigu Zhenjun cannot withstand the pressure from those two Nascent Soul cultivators, the Guigu Sect, which he has worked so hard to build, will instantly fall apart.

Lin Changsheng will once again lose his third-tier cultivation ground.

However, this time, Lin Changsheng was quite optimistic about Guigu Zhenjun.

Since the latter dared to openly sever the meridians to cultivate spiritual veins and brazenly establish the Ghost Valley Sect at the intersection of two continents, it was only a matter of time before such high-profile actions would provoke other forces.

Guigu Zhenjun should have anticipated this and made preparations accordingly.

However, just in case, Lin Changsheng still needs to make preparations in advance.

If Guigu Zhenjun becomes unable to handle the situation, he must be prepared to flee at any time.

……

Not long after, a streak of light descended hastily.

"Elder Zhang Meng, quickly open the barrier and let me in!"

A slightly urgent female voice came from behind. Huang Li, dressed in plain clothes and with a shaky defensive magic shield above her head, activated her flying magic weapon and arrived in the vicinity of Mingling Peak.

Behind him followed a man and a woman, two Golden Core cultivators dressed in light purple robes.

Furthermore, the two of them activated their magical artifacts, continuously bombarding Huang Li's defensive magic shield.

The male cultivator was at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, while the female cultivator was at the early-stage of the Golden Core realm.

The two seemed to be a Daoist couple, their attacks were perfectly coordinated, and Huang Li was clearly being pushed back under their onslaught.

"They are in cahoots with those two Nascent Soul True Monarchs."

Lin Changsheng guessed the origin of the real couple and was curious as to why they would attack Huang Li.

Hearing Huang Li's urgent plea for help, Lin Changsheng remained unmoved, cautiously refraining from easily opening the great formation.

With the current situation unclear, the presence of the mountain-protecting formation at least provides a buffer.

Moreover, Huang Li's true identity is unknown.

Who knows if he's in cahoots with the other two, using a self-inflicted injury to trick himself into opening the barrier, so the three of them can team up against him?

"Please lend me your help, Fellow Daoist Zhang Meng. Once I am out of danger, I will certainly offer you a token of my gratitude!"

Seeing that the villain Zhang Meng was watching coldly from the sidelines in the formation, Huang Li was both anxious and angry, but she still had to deal with the attacks from the real couple. She could only make a promise in a slightly anxious manner.

His words already carried a hint of pleading.

At the same time, Lin Changsheng sensed once again that the distant Heavenly Ghost Peak had an aura that was almost at the Nascent Soul level!

"A near-Nascent Soul level aura... Could this be Ghost Valley True Monarch's backup plan?!"

Lin Changsheng was even more surprised.

Judging from the sudden appearance of that gloomy aura, it seemed to be more like a near-fourth-tier ghost, fighting alongside Ghost Valley True Monarch and entangled with one of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

In this way, Guigu Zhenjun was no longer at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

"The situation may be turning around!"

Lin Changsheng turned his gaze to Huang Li outside the formation, who was struggling to defend against the attacks of the real couple.
