I Have A Cultivation World - Chapter 439
Chapter 439: Chapter 317: Three Gold Cores_2
A month ago, Zhou Shengqing came to blockade the gate.
Ji Zhenshi naturally couldn’t bear this and directly suited up for combat, clashing with Zhou Shengqing.
However, there was no choice, the Immortality Sutra was too taxing. Coupled with Zhou Shengqing being slightly higher in cultivation level, although Ji Zhenshi was able to resist by relying on his strong physical body and defensive Legal Treasures, he was still blocked inside the sect for a whole month.
Other Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation disciples from the Shake Mountain Peak were allowed to come and go as they pleased by Zhou Shengqing, but not Ji Zhenshi.
Yet even if Ji Zhenshi could leave, under the circumstances of Zhou Shengqing blocking the main gate, he wouldn’t dare to take a single step away from Shake Mountain Peak.
Thus, the two began a stalemate.
The state of the border warfare was constantly reported to Ji Zhenshi. At first, this elderly ancestor of Shake Mountain Peak was able to accept it.
After all, he had lived for hundreds of years and had seen many separations of life and death. The nine peaks’ masters had all changed three or four times over.
But today, when Ji Zhenshi learned that his small Spirit Stone Mine was occupied by the Divine Wood Sect, he could no longer bear it.
“Zhou Shengqing, do you want to go to full-scale war with my Shake Mountain Peak?”
Ji Zhenshi gripped the black long spear at his side, an awesome aura of blood burst forth, causing the void to twist. The two mountains beside Shake Mountain Peak started to tremble, as if an earthquake was about to occur.
“The first to act was your Shake Mountain Peak.”
Zhou Shengqing remained calm and casually waved his sleeve. The golden light from the Sun Spirit Tree at his side blossomed, instantly suppressing the trembling mountain ridges beneath his feet.
“Can’t you see through such ham-fisted tactics?”
In the past, Ji Zhenshi had been able to consolidate the power of the whole Shake Mountain Peak by himself and develop it into one of the seven major sects of the Eastern Wilderness, using many dark and complicated strategies.
The current conflict between Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain Peak was clearly stirred up by someone. He couldn’t believe Zhou Shengqing couldn’t see it.
Usually, such matters would be settled by some verbal sparring, followed by letting it go to save face.
If it comes to a large-scale war between the two sects, it could drag the entire Eastern Wilderness into the chaos, causing death and suffering for hundreds of years.
“Of course, I saw it. But last year, you killed our sect’s Administrative Elder sent to the Eastern Yi Territory, and took Void Mysterious Stone worth nearly a million Spirit Stones, which went a bit too far.”
When Zhou Shengqing said this, Ji Zhenshi’s pupils harshly shrunk. He stared wide-eyed, disbelievingly at the young man with the demeanor of an ageless youth on the other side.
“Were they your people?”
“Heh, don’t you know they were mine?”
Zhou Shengqing sneered in response. Last year, in order to assist Zhou Wangshen in his Immortal Cultivation of Taoist Body, he had sent a disciple of his to the Eastern Yi Territory to exchange some newly mined Void Stones for another type of Gold Core Spiritual Material.
Who would have expected that just after completing the transaction with a large pharmacy, and barely stepping out of the city, Ji Zhenshi would slaughter them.
Unfortunately, the location where the Administrative Elder exchanged the Gold Core Spiritual Material was the headquarters of Xuan Xiao Chamber of Commerce, where Ji Zhenshi had some influence.
This is the cultivation world of Tianhe Realm. Even a large sect like Divine Wood Sect could accidentally fall prey to local bullies or crossing over fierce dragons.
For Zhou Shengqing, the loss of Spirit Stones was a small matter, but delaying Meng Hong’s Core Formation and revealing the Void Mysterious Stone Mine was a big deal.
“The Divine Wood Sect found the Void Mysterious Stone Mine, yet you did not share it with Golden Cliff. It’s only natural us to become greedy for a slice of the pie.”
After Zhou Shengqing revealed the underlying cause, Ji Zhenshi’s face calmed down. He drew the black long spear in front of him. The overwhelming sea of qi within his body suddenly burst through its limit, materializing into a river of blood qi, dyeing half of the sky.
“Oh, have you broken through to the late stage of Core Formation?”
This was somewhat unexpected to Zhou Shengqing, causing him to frown slightly.
“Heh, there’s much more you haven’t expected.”
A cold laugh echoed in the void, and a faceless man in a black robe with a white cloth covering his face appeared next to Ji Zhenshi.
“Nan Shidao!”
Seeing this Core Formation elder from Liu Jia Mountain, Zhou Shengqing’s brows furrowed more deeply. He unexpectedly and unhesitatingly joined forces with Shake Mountain Peak.
“Where’s Fu Zongjue, that old decayed wood smell can be detected from a long distance, aren’t you hiding and waiting for me?”
The lips behind the white cloth of Nan Shidao trembled, and he mockingly derided.
“This might disappoint you. My junior brother Fu is still over at Wind Rain Shelter suppressing the demonic beasts and hasn’t come here.”
Zhou Shengqing was facing two alone, but his expression remained unchanged, still calm and confident.
“If he hadn’t come, you would probably have died at our hands today,” said the Southern Teacher, and with a gesture, a blade without a handle shot from his palm. The blade shimmered faintly blue, and as it appeared, the surrounding air suddenly chilled several degrees.
“I’m quite confident in my own defensive abilities. I doubt you alone could kill me.”
Zhou Shengqing spoke with an indifferent look on his face.
“Oh, it seems like you are too conceited and have not directly faced his Void Law Body power in the late Gold Core stage.”
The Southern Teacher, who seemed to have had some experience, peered at Ji Zhenshi next to him, a tremor of unease appearing in his eyes.
It was precisely because he had experienced his power, in addition to the presence of that person, that the Southern teacher had decided to ally with the Shake Mountain Peak against the Divine Wood Sect.
“I guess today’s as good a day as any to learn about it.”
Zhou Shengqing spoke with a calm demeanor, flicking his fingers and sprouting two more tree seeds.
Three towering Golden Sun Spirit Trees encased him in the middle, at the same time suppressing the part of the terrain below the Mountain Shaker Peak, causing the originally targeted Mountain Protection Array to operate slowly.
“Ever since I reached the late Gold Core stage, I haven’t encountered an opponent who could stop me head-on.”
Ji Zhenshi slowly opened his mouth. The black long spear in his hand pointed towards Zhou Shengqing.
The void seemed to open a vortex that sucked in the tip of his spear.
Zhou Shengqing’s facial expression changed slightly. He tilted his head, and saw the black spearhead appearing out of nowhere in front of him, leaving a streak of blood on his fair cheek.
“Void Law Body, truly the number one Body Forging technique in Eastern Wilderness,” said the Southern Teacher, recalling how he was defeated by this technique.
“Interesting.”
Zhou Shengqing on the other side, however, gently touched the wound on his cheek, a green light flashed and the wound had already healed.
Then a beam of Sacred Tree Divine Light burst from his fingertips, half of it in the air, blasting towards the Southern Teacher and Ji Zhenshi.
Ji Zhenshi, without moving his feet or swaying his body, shook his spear and deflected the Sacred Tree Divine Light into the sky, as if he had propelled a beautiful, green meteor into the sky.
The Southern Teacher extended his left hand, and its five fingers ingeniously reassembled into a shield, blocking the Sacred Tree Divine Light. Yet under the impact, he involuntarily retreated a dozen meters before managing to dissipate Zhou Shengqing’s attack.
“I’ll assist you. We need to finish him off quickly. If Fu Zongjue and Mo Douguang come over, it would be troublesome,” the Southern Teacher said, subtly pressuring Zhou Shengqing.
“He’s right, we might not be able to kill him,” Ji Zhenshi suddenly said.
“I believe your Void Law Body will be able to do it,” the Southern Teacher expressed confidence in Ji Zhenshi.
“If I go all out, it may not coincide well with your efforts,” said Ji Zhenshi, Zhou Shengqing did not object, seemingly waiting for his opponents to finish their discussion.
The Southern Teacher asked, “Then you mean to say…”
Ji Zhenshi said, “Since my true cultivation level has already been exposed, I naturally have to have a good fight with him. Since you came, please go to the trouble of clearing all the monks from the Divine Wood Sect in the Rock Country for me.”
At this point, Zhou Shengqing’s facial expression finally changed.
However, the Southern Teacher burst into laughter, rose into the sky and headed towards the border between Rock Country and Lei Nation.
“Stop!” Zhou Shengqing was about to fly up to hinder the Southern Teacher’s departure, but he was stopped by the sudden appearance of the spearhead in front of him.
“I want you to feel the same pain I felt days ago, hearing about the death of the disciples of my sect and being powerless to do anything.”
Ji Zhenshi looked at Zhou Shengqing and said, word by word.
