Chapter 308: Chapter 308, one courtyard, two kingdoms, three sects, and four pavilions


    The vast sea was boundless, as far as the eye could see.


    The huge immortal ind floated in the sea, constantly moving horizontally. There was no pattern, and it was ethereal.


    Lu fan sat on the thousand des chair, his hair slightly fluttering as he walked slowly on the ind.


    Ning Zhao and Ni Yu followed by his side.


    “Young master... What should we do next?”


    Ni Yu could not help but ask.


    Ning Zhao was very quiet and beautiful. Now that she had stepped into the Heaven Lock realm, she had a long lifespan, so she did not panic at all.


    However, Ni Yu was a person who could not stand being lonely.


    There was no tower of trials on the Lake Heart Ind, and there was no secret realm of the Nine Hells. For Ni Yu, it could be said that she was bored to the point of moldy.


    Even if she wanted to refine pills... there were no medicinal ingredients.


    Perhaps ni Yu’s boredom had affected Lu fan.


    After Lu fan thought about it, he felt that he could not let ni Yu and the others be too bored.


    Originally, Lu fan did not n to take Ni Yu and Ning Zhao to retire together. However, since he had brought them to the ind, Lu fan was responsible for Ni Yu and Ning Zhao. He personally prepared a cultivation n for them.


    Lu Fan’s spiritual sense surged and projected the Soul Dao tablet. It condensed into a miniature version of the Dao tablet on the ind. When Ning Zhao and Ni Yu saw the small dao tablet, they were stunned.


    “Young master... isn’t this the Dao tablet set up by the immortals in the nine Hells Arcane Realm?”


    Ni Yu took a deep breath.


    She felt the terrifying power emitted from the small dao tablet.


    Ni Yu and Ning Zhao no longer doubted the authenticity of the Small Dao tablet.


    “It’s just a mere dao tablet.”


    Lu fan said lightly.


    In fact, Lu fan had broken through to the fifth level of the Qi refinement realm and obtained an offensive skill, “Stele-guarding hand.”.


    Lu fan then intends to “Tablet hand”to Ning Zhao and Ni Yu.


    It was a way of attacking them, a way ofpensating them for their istion.


    Raise a hand, with a flick of the finger, the light will shoot out, diffuse into Ni Yu and Ning Zhao’s brow.


    Compared with the five Phoenix continent, other practitioners have made breakthroughs in thepetition.


    Ni Yu and Ning Zhao may be weak in practice, therefore, Lu fan should try to make up for this weakness.


    “Stele-guarding hand is an offensive skill. Beginner, small sess, great sess, greatpletion... it’s divided into four levels. This will be a method for you to cultivate during this period of time.”


    Lu fan said.


    “Ni Yu.”


    Ni Yu, who was studying stele-guarding hand, straightened her chest and said, “Yes!”


    “I’ve prepared ten sets of pill forms for you. After you’ve studied these ten sets of pill forms, I’ll allow you to travel on the ind.”


    Lu fan said slowly.


    Ni Yu’s eyes lit up when she heard this.


    “Really?”


    “Can you return after leaving the ind?”


    Lu fan smiled. “Yes.”


    Ni Yu’s breathing became rapid.


    “Young master,e on, let’s do it violently!”


    Ni Yu carried the ck pot on her back and clenched her fists.


    Lu fan flicked his finger, and Ni Yu immediately felt a dense amount of information about the pill forms flooding into her mind.


    Soon, Ni Yu wilted like a defeated Hen.


    Because the pills that Lu fan gave her... were too difficult!


    The body tempering pill was only considered thest pill among them.


    “You study the DAO tablet for six hours every day, practice ‘stele-guarding hand’for four hours, and refine pills for ten hours.”


    Lu fan slowly told ni Yu about her cultivation n.


    The more Ni Yu listened, the more desperate she became.


    Young master... Are You a demon?


    The Little Yinglong, who was lying on Ni Yu’s head, seemed to understand as it giggled non-stop.


    However, under Lu fan’s calm gaze, the Little Yinglong’s giggling soon became low, low..


    Finally, it seemed to be moaning.


    “As for Ningzhao, meditate on the tablet for four hours a day, practice ‘stele-guarding hand’for four hours, and practice sword for ten hours...”


    It was even more demanding than ni Yu’s cultivation n.


    Ning Zhao was not dissatisfied with this. She understood that her young master valued them and wanted them to be stronger.


    The young master was now so strong that she could not guess.


    If Ning Zhao did not be stronger, she might not even be able to catch up with Lu fan.


    As for Little Ying Long’s cultivation n, it was very simple.


    One Word, beat.


    After setting up the n.


    Ning Zhao and Ni Yu sat cross-legged in front of the Small Dao tablet,prehending the dao intent.


    At this time, Lu fan also began to consolidate his own strength.


    He had broken through to the fifth level of the Qi refinement realm, and there were many things that he had yet to integrate.


    His mind moved, and he sank into the teaching tform.


    Lu fan was deducing the “Tablet suppression hand”. This was a high-grade xuan grade offensive skill.


    If it was perfected, its power would beparable to an earth ss attack technique.


    Lu fan raised his hand, and his palm instantly became white, as gentle as jade.


    With a palm strike, the air caved in and cracked open like a spider web.


    “Small sess.”


    The corner of Lu Fan’s mouth twitched.


    He continued deducing, and with a palm strike, the image of a stele appeared. The air seemed to have caved in, and the power was even stronger.


    “Greatpletion.”


    However, reaching greatpletion was the limit.


    If Lu fan wanted to continue to reach perfection, he couldn’t just rely on deduction alone.


    He had to go through actualbat.


    Hence, Lu fan didn’t n to cultivate the ‘stele guard hand’to perfection for the time being.


    He exited the preaching tform.


    Lu fan waited silently for a long time. In front of his eyes, the system notification that he still hadn’tpleted the mission popped up.


    It was obvious that the side mission of “There is no more white jade capital”had not beenpleted.


    Lu fan frowned. This was a little out of his expectations.


    However, he soon rxed his brows.


    He guessed.


    White Jade Capital had just gone into hiding. Thepletion of the mission needed time to ferment.


    Therefore, Lu fan no longer cared about this matter.


    He raised his hand, and a doll-like fruit appeared in his hand.


    It was the precious “Avatar fruit”.


    ..


    The first day of white jade capital’s seclusion.


    The news spread throughout the world, and the entire world was shaken. However, the various factions did not dare to make any unusual movements.


    After all, White Jade Capital had brought too much shock to the world.


    The first cultivator faction had left behind too many legends.


    On the fifth day of white jade capital’s seclusion.


    The various factions finally began to make their moves. Many factions sent cultivators into Beiluo City. Beiluo city was fearless as it opened its city gates to wee them.


    The world looked at the empty Beiluo Lake. The White Jade Capital Immortal Ind had long disappeared.


    Many cultivators recalled the scene of facing the Lake Heart Ind and listening to young master Lu’s sermon. They felt moved.


    However, everyone was certain of one thing. White Jade Capital... had really gone into hiding.


    The first month of white jade capital’s seclusion.


    Many changes began to ur in the world.


    The various aristocratic families sent their cultivators to build a cultivation force simr to white jade capital on the spirit stone mines they had excavated, and they called it a sect.


    Because White Jade Capital had once held an auction, young master Lu had changed the currency of the cultivation world, changing the original gold and silver currency into spirit stones.


    Therefore, the world began to search for spirit stone mines.


    The fight for spirit stone mines became the main event.


    The cultivators of the aristocratic families began to collide, and the cultivators fought frequently.


    For a time, the mes of war began to spread across the continent, which had been calm for a long time.


    However, these were all small fights.


    The focus of many aristocratic families was actually the two giants in the world, Xiliang and Da Xuan.


    Western Liang was more feared than da Xuan because Western Liang had the overlord, a top-tier heavenly lock realm expert.


    As for Da Xuan’s ck tortoise guards, although they were much stronger than many aristocratic families, they did not have the Overlord, a heavenly lock realm expert, so they were slightly weaker.


    Everyone knew that Western Liang and Da Xuan were still in a peaceful state, mainly because of the bet made by Bai Yujing.


    Although Bai Yujing was now reclusive, both Xiliang and Da Xuan kept the bet.


    Neither of them dared to stand out.


    They didn’t dare to break the bet for fear of provoking Bai Yujing’s anger.


    After all, everyone knew that young master Lu was narrow-minded.


    Bai Yujing said that he was reclusive, but who knew if he was really reclusive?


    Near the secret realm of Wolong Ridge.


    Many sects had been established, especially the surrounding blessednds, which had beenpletely divided up.


    Among them..


    At the peak of a mountain in the north of Wolong Ridge, Sima Qingshan and his disciple, an Miaoyu, were born under the name of the “Painting sect.”.


    In the east, they were upied by a chicken-raising girl, the White Green Bird, who established a force and named it the “Nine Phoenix Courtyard.”.


    In the south, Tang Yimo, to everyone’s surprise, established a faction on the basis of the South Prefecture. It was called the “Body sect,”and it walked the path of Qi and blood cultivation, the path of Heaven Lock.


    Other than that, there was also Kong Nanfei’s haoran sect.


    The Haoran sect upied a blessednd on a mountain peak and became the dream of all the schrs in the world. Many schrs gathered at the front gate of the Haoran sect, kowtowing to the immortals and seeking immortality.


    There were also the Old Dao Pavilion, Sword Pavilion, and Heaven’s secret pavilion. These three forces were personally appointed by White Jade Capital, and their positions were also quite revered.


    As for the weapon refining pavilion, because Gongshu Yu was obsessed with weapon refining, he wasn’t ranked among them.


    Just when everyone thought that the situation of the forces was about to be set in stone.


    In the western county, a force had appeared, and it was called the “Ink Pavilion.”.


    This was a power that mainly focused on assassins, and it specialized in nurturing powerful cultivators and assassins.


    It also received bounties and assassination missions from all the major powers in the world.


    The bounties were revised.


    The top of the bounties was the overlord.


    There were no bounties, but... the Overlord was the top of the bounties.


    Below that were all sorts of people’s names.


    At this point.


    The power structure was temporarily formed. One Court, two kingdoms, three sects, and four pavilions... there was no ranking.


    Two of them were the Xiliang Nation and the Great Xuan Nation, and the Xiliang nation’s cultivator force was the Xiang family army.


    The Great Xuan Nation was the Great Xuan College.


    And during the second month of seclusion in the white jade capital.


    Dongyang county.


    The forces of the Tian Yuan territory, under the leadership of their respective nascent soul stage experts, marched into the five Phoenix continent.


    Martial Emperor City, Great Qian Nation, absolute de sect, heavenly void Pce... The experts of the four top forces traveled across the ocean and descended into the outer regions they called.


    They established their own forces in Dongyang county. Apart from the Great Qian Nation which changed its name to the Heavenly Void Pce, the other three great forces did not change their names.


    Along with the four great forces of the Tian Yuan territorying menacingly, the sh between the local sects of the five Phoenix Continent and the forces of the Tian Yuan territory would eventually erupt.


    The world was in turmoil.


    The clouds kept surging.


    ..


    Hidden Dragon Ridge.


    Along with the retreat of the White Jade Capital, the Hidden Dragon Ridge, which was originally a gathering ce for all the cultivators in the world, became a ce of contention.


    After many small conflicts broke out.


    The various aristocratic families found Xiliang and Da Xuan, as well as many sects, and proposed that in the future, one would have to pay spirit stones to enter and leave the Hidden Dragon Ridge.


    The spirit stones that were paid would be used as rewards for the final checkpoint of the nine Hells Mystical Realm.


    The first expert to step into the ninth Hells Gate would receive the spirit stones umted by the cultivators who entered and left the Wolong Ridge mystical realm!


    As soon as this news was released, it instantly shook the entire world.


    Even the cultivators of the Tian Yuan region couldn’t remain calm.


    This was because the amount of spirit stones was indeed not small. Moreover, it was unknown when one would be able to step into the ninth Hells Gate.


    The amount of spirit stones he had umted over the past few days was definitely not a small amount!


    ..


    Boom!


    The Overlord’s body rumbled, and the three red spirit crystals floating in the air above the rebirth pond instantly shattered.


    The sound of bones colliding could be heard from within the Overlord’s body.


    The Overlord’s bones were like dragons, and he had already stepped into the level of the quadrupole heavenly lock.


    He wasn’t very satisfied with this speed.


    He raised his head and nced at the progress monument of the Dead Spirit City.


    “Zhong Nan, Progress: 190(2) .”


    “Wind first floor, progress: 190(2) .”


    “Nie Changqing, Progress: 190(2) .”


    “Kong NANFEI, Progress: 180(2) .”


    Looking at the name on the progress tablet, the overlord could not help but squint his eyes.


    This was the result of everyone trying to reach the second prison gate in the past two months.


    Zhong nan and Feng Yilou had already seen the second prison gate’s death spirit city, Chu Jiang City.


    Of course, none of them were able to enter the second city sessfully, but there was no doubt that NIE changqing and Kong nanfei were suppressed.


    Because the Overlord was rtively slow in entering, although he was always in a state of catching up, he was still a littlecking.


    “The cultivation effect of the red spirit crystal is much better than the blue spirit crystal, but it’s still too slow.”


    “If I can break into the third prison gate and rely on the purple spirit crystal to cultivate... then my cultivation speed will be much faster!”


    The Overlord was deep in thought.


    Although the purple spirit crystal would appear in the second prison gate, it was too rare.


    It was even more extravagant to use it for cultivation. Most people would crush the Purple Spirit Crystal and choose to drop something good.


    Shaking his head, the Overlord walked out of the resting state of Qin Guangcheng and continued to break into the second prison gate.


    ..


    The imperial capital.


    The ck Dragon Cult.


    Liu Yuanhao didn’t continue to explore the nine prisons secret realm. After refining his body, he wanted to attempt the sky lock. However, it wasn’t so easy in a short period of time.


    Moreover, hisprehension of the dao intent of the cold fire had also reached a bottleneck.


    Therefore, he returned to the imperial capital.


    Four ck Dragon Guards stood by his side, and many elders of the ck dragon cult had gathered.


    “One courtyard, two kingdoms, three sects, and four pavilions...”


    A ball of ice-like me was slowly burning in Liu Yuanhao’s hand. He narrowed his eyes and coldlyughed as he recited the words.


    “The nine Phoenix courtyard founded by a chicken girl can be ranked in the faction rankings, but our ck dragon cult... doesn’t even have the qualifications. On what basis?”


    Liu Yuanhao suddenly clenched his hand, and the ice crystals shattered into pieces.


    “Just because that chicken girl stayed on the White Jade Capital Lake Ind?”


    Liu Yuanhao was indeed unwilling in his heart. He wanted to strengthen the ck dragon cult, but... The ck dragon cult indeed didn’t have any great feats. Therefore, in the eyes of the world, the ck Dragon cult was still a gang formed by local ruffians and hooligans.


    Even if there were many cultivators in the gang, they were not allowed to join.


    Below, the members of the ck dragon cult kept quiet out of fear, not daring to make a sound.


    “It’s been three months... It’s been three months since the white jade capital returned to seclusion. It seems that young master Lu really intends to hide and stay away from the disputes of the secr world.”


    Liu Yuanhao’s finger lightly tapped on the armrest of the sandalwood chair.


    “Our ck Dragon cult should also be high-profile.”


    He raised his head and looked at a ck dragon guard.


    These veteran ck Dragon Guards had all entered the body constitution realm and had be Liu Yuanhao’s right-hand men.


    “Go to the Wolong Ridge and keep an eye on the overlord...”


    Liu Yuanhao said.


    This ck dragon guard was stunned and his expression became serious as he nodded.


    “If anyone sends a message to the Overlord, you must stop them.”


    “If the Overlord leaves the Wolong Ridge, immediately send a message!”


    Liu Yuanhao was very serious.


    Below, the eyes of the ck dragon cult disciples lit up.


    Was the cult leader preparing to cause trouble?


    “This imperial capital... Xiliang has upied it for a long time.”


    Liu Yuanhaoughed coldly.


    However, a ck dragon guard frowned, “Cult leader, if the Overlord finds out and starts a massacre, we won’t be able to stop him.”


    “To put it bluntly... sect leader, you won’t be able to stop him.”


    This ck Dragon Guard’s words were very honest.


    Although it wasn’t pleasant to hear, Liu Yuanhao understood that he was speaking the truth.


    “It doesn’t matter. I’ve befriended a Golden Elixir realm expert from a foreignnd in the mystic realm, and he’s ranked tenth on the list of experts from a foreignnd. With his help, it won’t be a problem to stop the overlord. Moreover, I’ve also specially sent someone to contact the MO Tower of the western county. That person from the MO tower... has a grudge with the Overlord.”


    Liu Yuanhao waved his hand and gave a wily smile.


    The overlord was very strong, but... in today’s world, the domineering aura wasn’t the strongest. There were still many people who restricted him!


    Since Liu Yuanhao had said so, the ck dragon guard couldn’t say anything.


    Liu Yuanhao sat on the sandalwood chair and picked up the Teacup. However, the ice crystal me in his hand covered it, and the Teacup was actually frozen into pieces.


    “White jade capital has been in seclusion for three months, and the people still cower in fear.”


    “In that case, let me... be the person who ignites the conflict in the world.”
