C40 Retreat Retreat Again

"What is this?"

The Great Elder had lost one of his legs, and was being supported by Yem Lia. His face was still filled with shock.

Yem Lia's Adam's apple rolled, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva. Then, he said faintly, "The lotus moves in all directions. It's rumored that the first palace master of Blossoms Palace was a famous magic treasure. It was made from ten thousand year old ice from the sacred mountain. However, it was rumored that this magic treasure was created after the death of that man. It was destroyed by the Tao Alliance because this magic treasure was something that the Tao Alliance had never seen before. What a shame."

The Great Elder's expression became more and more astonished. He had completely forgotten the pain of losing one of his legs.

Since the beginning of the world, the world had been divided into five Continent, the Ancient State of Antarctica, Eastern Pole Saint Continent, the Barren State of the North Pole, the West Pole, and the Divine Region of the Central Plains.

The cultivation methods of the five regions were different. The South Pole Ancient Continent where the Dalan Empire was located. It followed the most ancient cultivation method, which was to comprehend the Heavenly Axiom. It guided the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth into the body, and then formed a Genuine Qi to temper the Cultivator's body. He would form a Golden Core in his body, then transform into a Nascent Infant Stage, and then... In fact, it was a battle between Nascent Infant Stage in his body to judge the strength.

As for Eastern Pole Saint Continent, it worshiped a legendary god who cultivated the Holy Light Technique. It was said that he cultivated to the extreme and could activate the Heavenly Awakening to borrow the power of a god.

The West Pole Buddha Province was the quietest place in the Five Continent. The people here focused on Buddhism, advocating kindness and treating others. They paid close attention to the fate of Buddhism, and the western paradise that pursued the Buddhist Lord had already faintly faded away from the Five Continent.

The Central Plains' Divine Continent was the place where the cultivation methods of the three Continent were gathered. It was also the richest place in the five Continent, the place where the various Continent interacted and resolved conflicts.

The North Pole Barren State was a special existence. It was a land of ice and snow. There were even legendary mutants, or rather, Devil Clan. The people here practiced the cultivation of the body and absorbed all the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth into their bodies. This way, they could increase their combat strength.

The reason why the Cultivator here was turned into a Devil Clan was that regardless of whether they cultivated in Buddhism or the Holy Light, they were all considered to be borrowing strength from heaven and earth, from gods, and from the Buddha Lord.

As the saying goes, if there is a borrowing, there is a repayment. These three cultivation methods, no matter which one it is, were all considered to be borrowing the strength of the heaven and earth. They were all just using and guiding, and in the end, they still had to return to nature. However, the cultivation method of the North Pole Barren State had opened up another world within its own body. To forcefully absorb the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth into one's body was equivalent to snatching natural resources.

Imagine, cultivators between Heaven and Earth were born naturally and died naturally. It was equivalent to a cycle, and finally reached a balance. However, after the Devil Clan died, the world in their bodies collapsed as well. The natural spirit energy that had been absorbed into their bodies also dissipated, and did not return to nature. This broke the balance. If this continued, if they allowed it to continue developing... As time passed, the Cultivator would face an awkward situation where there was no spiritual Qi to absorb between the Heaven and Earth. Naturally, it would be attacked by the other four Continent.

And the organization that attacked the North Pole Barren State was the Tao Alliance.

As the common leader of the Four Continent, the Tao Alliance naturally enjoyed a great reputation on the continent. Its prestige was incomparable.

However, even such an existence had suffered a great setback in the past, and had been beaten up by a single person until he had no strength to fight back.

That person was the first palace master of the Blossoms Palace. It was said that this person's strength had already reached the peak of this world. Some even said that she had already jumped out of the scope of this world.

When the entire Tao Alliance was attacking the Blossoms Palace, she attacked with her sword alone. She slaughtered her way from the ancient state of Antarctica to the location of the Tao Alliance, which was the sacred mountain that all the Cultivators regarded as a holy land. At the foot of the mountain, she killed a man and a purple bamboo, killing all the way to the top of the mountain. Countless mountains of purple bamboo were cut down, and countless people from the Tao Alliance were killed by his sword.

After that, he split the sacred mountain in half with his sword. He took out the ten thousand year old profound ice from the top of the sacred mountain and made it into a magic treasure. He named it Lotus in Eight Directions, intending to control the whole area.

The name of this magical treasure was not false. As soon as it appeared in the world, it was sealed in ice for thousands of miles with supreme power. Millions of corpses were slaughtered, and countless Cultivator at the Soul Formation Stage and above were killed.

In the end, the Tao Alliance sent out over a hundred Mahayana Stage warriors to deal a heavy blow to this man. Furthermore, they used the lives of all the disciples of the Blossoms Palace as a threat, which was why this man was killed.

This lotus moved in all directions, and it was regarded as the greatest humiliation in the history of the sect. It was destroyed on the spot.

Anyone who had stepped into the realm of cultivation would be familiar with this part of history. However, not many people were able to recognize this lotus.

No one would have thought that such a heaven defying treasure, which should have disappeared, would actually appear in Ji Baihua's hands, and in the hands of a Cultivator that had just reached the Nascent Infant Stage Late Period.

The expression on the Great Elder's face became extremely strange. He looked at Yem Lia with an expression of disbelief, and said slowly, "This... this shouldn't be the one from back then, right?"

Yem Lia was also a little uncertain, and said, "I don't know. We are all the Cultivators after that incident. No one had really seen its true appearance, but judging from the current feeling, it's basically the same as the description in the rumors. It should be this thing. However, from the looks of it now, its power is not even one-thousandth of the one from back then. "

"Could it be that the user used it unconsciously, resulting in such a huge difference?" The Great Elder said again.

Yem Lia's eyes lit up and looked in the direction of Ji Baihua. Sure enough, Ji Baihua did not seem to know about the situation outside. She still lowered her head as if she was thinking about something extremely important.

"I don't think so. If I look carefully, I can still feel that the grade of this treasure is actually not that high. If it was the one from back then, even if the user wasn't aware, he would still use it. Today, we will not be able to escape death, but now, the space it covers is only 30 meters. I'm guessing it's just a replica." Yem Lia finally confirmed it.

The Great Elder heaved a sigh of relief and said slowly, "Even if it's just a replica, it will be very difficult for us to deal with it now."

"Yes."

Yem Lia said, but the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter. He said in a hurry, "If we can use this magic treasure for our own use, then our Ghost Shadow Sect will be ranked as a first-rate sect."

"You mean..." The Great Elder's eyes also lit up. He said with excitement, "Don't tell me you have a way to deal with it?"

"Hmph, since it isn't the one from back then, then there is nothing to be afraid of. Even if its power is endless, the imitation is still just a replica."

Yem Lia coldly harrumphed. Purple flames ignited on his body. He said with great fighting spirit, "This cold qi is emitted from that treasure. Although it's incomparably powerful, it's still not enough. However, compared to the essence of the heaven and earth itself, it's a man-made treasure. In the end, it's still not enough. "

After he finished speaking, under the Great Elder's shocked gaze, he took a light step forward and stepped on the ice that had turned into ice after being frozen by the cold.

Pah...

A clear sound rang out in the field, clearly echoing in everyone's ears.

It's fine!

It was actually fine!

The Great Elder widened his eyes, his face filled with disbelief. Although Yem Lia's cultivation base was much higher than his, he believed that Yem Lia wouldn't be able to withstand the power of Yem Lia's attack.

However, Yem Lia was perfectly fine now that he was within thirty meters of him.

"Great! Sect Chief is mighty!"

When the other disciples saw that Yem Lia was unharmed, they couldn't help but cheer.

To be honest, the scene where the silent sound had robbed over a thousand people of their lives was still replaying endlessly in the minds of these disciples. It had already created an indelible shadow in their minds.

However, at this moment, their Sect Master, the person whom they had always regarded as a god, appeared. Yem Lia stepped into that place of death, but he didn't suffer any injuries.

This undoubtedly gave the remaining disciples of Ghost Shadow Sect a strong psychological comfort. It dispersed the shadow in their hearts and allowed them to see hope once again.

Since the Sect Master was fine, it meant that everything that happened before was because the opponent was stronger than them. However, no matter how powerful the opponent was, he wasn't invincible. In that case, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Amidst the cheers that filled the sky, a smile emerged on the Great Elder's face. He could already foresee that after today, the Ghost Shadow Sect would be incomparably united and united. This was because they had an incomparably powerful Sect Chief.

Furthermore, as long as they obtained that magic treasure, the Ghost Shadow Sect's strength in the Tao Alliance would rise by several levels. At that time, just like what Yem Lia had said, it wouldn't be difficult for them to become a first-rate sect.

As the oldest elder of the Ghost Shadow Sect, the Great Elder had accompanied the Ghost Shadow Sect through countless of ups and downs, and had long tied him together with the Ghost Shadow Sect.

The Ghost Shadow Sect welcomed a better tomorrow. To him, it was the happiest thing.

Bang! Bang!

As Yem Lia's footsteps became faster and faster, the distance between him and Ji Baihua was also shortening at an extremely fast speed.

Gradually, no one cheered. Everyone held their breaths and waited for Yem Lia's next move.

Yem Lia's move was very simple. He simply walked in front of Ji Baihua and then simply stretched out his hand.

Unsurprisingly, his hand burning with Netherworld Ghost Flame passed through the layer of light around Ji Baihua without any hindrance, and then reached above Ji Baihua's head.

Next, he only needed a simple movement to grab the magic treasure that was emitting the cold qi of death and then take it down. Today's battle, or rather, the massacre, would be completely over.

No matter how powerful Ji Baihua was, she still couldn't fight back against the entire Ghost Shadow Sect. Furthermore, they had a Sect Master that was comparable to a god.

However, the facts proved that these disciples of the Ghost Shadow Sect had underestimated the gods. Or rather, they had imagined Yem Lia to be too powerful.

Yem Lia had indeed grabbed the rotating ice lotus. The process was very simple, without any obstacles or accidents.

However, the real problem was that when he exerted all his strength, he found that he was unable to move the ice lotus at all.

The ice lotus was floating in the air. It didn't have any support, nor did it have any strength to restrain it. However, even though Yem Lia was a Nascent Infant Stage Great Perfection, he still couldn't move it at all.

At the same time, the instant Yem Lia grabbed the ice lotus, his facial expression changed dramatically.

He discovered that the moment he touched the ice lotus, an extremely powerful and invasive cold energy was released from the ice lotus, then it went straight to his Dantian through his palm.

He wanted to let go of the ice lotus and retreat.

However, the ice lotus seemed to possess an endless magnetic force that firmly grabbed onto his palm, making him unable to move at all.

Gengci...

Under the astonished gaze of the Great Elder and all the shocked gazes of the Ghost Shadow Sect, the Sect Master of the Ghost Shadow Sect, Yem Lia, who was regarded as a god by all the disciples of the Ghost Shadow Sect, forcefully removed one of his hands.

Without any hesitation, he was also very familiar with the technique.

Almost instantly, the arm that was holding the ice lotus separated from his body. As for Yem Lia himself, the moment his arm separated from his body, his face turned pale and he quickly retreated.

Retreat, retreat again, retreat continuously...

Faster, faster, faster...

This was the only thought in Yem Lia's mind at this moment. He could feel the shadow of death looming over him, like gangrene attached to his bones, lingering in his mind.

The Great Elder's facial expression changed as well. His smile froze on his face. His eyes were filled with endless fear. As the strongest person besides Yem Lia, he could clearly feel the pure smell of death.

Compared to the feeling of leaving his legs behind, it was more terrifying and depressing.

And then...

At this moment, he suddenly heard a faint whisper.

"You always feel that you are stronger than me. Thus, everything on me will become yours... Actually, this idea wasn't wrong. The Cultivation World had always been like this. The strong prey on the weak. Killing and seizing treasures had become the norm... Unfortunately, I'm stronger than all of you, so... the ones who die in the end are all of you."
