Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 229 The Bottle Shattered

Half a month later.

A French ship swept across the sky.

This Dharma boat was decorated quite brightly, radiating colorful lights and carrying a perfume-like fragrance, resembling a flower boat for female cultivators.

On the deck, a scantily clad woman gazed in the direction of the Bai family of Dongshui, her face filled with melancholy: "The Path of White Bones..."

This woman is none other than Yin Ping'er!

Many years have passed, and her cultivation has reached the mid-stage of the Dao Foundation stage. She was transferred back to the Huan Sect, where she originally had a promising future.

It's just that when Mi Cang went mad and fought a fierce battle with He Huan, all the Dao Foundation disciples were just wasted resources.

She had no chance of competing with any of her senior sisters in the sect, and was assigned the task of going out to provide support, so she had no choice but to come.

"Those who attacked the Bai family of Dongshui were the monks of the White Bone Sect..."

Yin Ping'er gritted her teeth, plotting how to escape and survive: "Speaking of the White Bone Path, I used to have a relationship with Qingjing and Miaofeng... Alas, it's a pity that both of them are dead. On the contrary, Fang Shui, who had a grudge against me back then, is now awe-inspiring, called something like 'Vajra Power Master,' and can now be considered an equal to a Purple Mansion True Person..."

Thinking of Fang Shui, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

This villain was suspected to be involved in her sister's death. Later, in order to deal with him, she won over Miaofeng Mingzi and Qingjing Mingfei, paying a heavy price. But later, Fang Shui was converted by the White Bone Dharma King and actually became a respectable person, even Miaofeng was no match for him.

"Miaofeng Qingjing is useless too. She spent her whole life serving her master, and she never won against those who joined later in the competition for his favor..."

"They wouldn't even have lasted until now, they would have died long ago when Mingzi... If they had lasted until now, they would be two Purple Mansions, and I might have been able to save my life because of this relationship..." she thought to herself as she looked at a graceful figure.

That was a newly promoted Purple Mansion cultivator from within the sect, known as "Red Medicine." He was dispatched this time to support the Bai family of Dongshui, and he clearly wasn't very favored within the sect either... The wind howled.

Yin Ping'er suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The surrounding sky had been shrouded in a layer of smog, making the world dark and gloomy.

The sound of flapping wings came from the void, as if countless birds had been startled.

"Who are you, sir? Why have you come to make things difficult for my sister?"

Master Hongyao used his supernatural powers to reach mid-air, where he was greeted by a white bone relic flying towards him.

The white bone relic suddenly turned, transforming into a towering, powerful white bone demon, whose pale bone hand crashed down...

"Enemy attack!"

The sharp, piercing female voice almost echoed throughout the pleasure boat.

Yin Ping'er took out her own ribbon-shaped Dao Foundation artifact, and just as she adjusted her mindset to prepare for the attack, she suddenly saw a bronze ancient halberd, like a pillar supporting the sky, crashing down towards Hongyao Zhenren. Hongyao Zhenren, wielding his supernatural powers, flashed several times, seemingly chasing the sun and moon, conjuring up another yang body, which fled in two different directions… This was none other than the supernatural power "Walking Along the Ground"!

"They...they left?"

Yin Ping'er's eyes widened, and she immediately knelt down: "Greetings to the White Bone Dharma King, greetings to Vajra Power Master... This humble woman is willing to submit and become the Guru's consort..." She had already seen the person holding the halberd, which was none other than Fang Shui, whom she had offended in the past, and she couldn't help but secretly lament her misfortune.

"Get up, everyone."

Fang Qing calmly said, "It just so happens that the Bai family of Dongshui still needs a Foundation Establishment cultivator to fill the array's core in their 'Three Waters Four Harmonies Array'... You must go immediately without fail." "Yes!"

The kneeling Yin Ping'er and the surrounding Foundation Establishment cultivators all remained calm and accepted Fang Qing's order to die.

Fang Qing glanced at Yin Ping'er and saw her as well, but his heart remained unmoved.

This renowned courtesan, whose fame spread throughout Sichuan, should have calmly accepted her own death...

"The successful ambush of the reinforcements was largely thanks to the invaluable assistance of all the students..."

He looked at Sangji with a respectful expression.

"The Great Dharma King has a comprehensive view of the situation and a clear understanding of the overall picture... We are merely doing our meager efforts..."

Sanji put his hands together in prayer position.

This time, the news of the Hehuan Sect's reinforcements was largely leaked, and they were ambushed in various places. This made Fang Qing suspect that there were spies from the Secret Domain within the Hehuan Sect. "It's a pity that True Person Hongyao left..."

He sighed again at the end.

"This woman is, after all, a cultivator at the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm... If Taixu hadn't been locked up, it would have been extremely difficult for us to defeat her..."

Sangji said, "With the blessing of the 'Walking Along the Ground' technique, the supernatural powers will be enhanced. If this woman wants to leave, neither of us can stop her... Now that this matter is over, we should go to the Bai family in Dongshui." The Bai family in Dongshui is currently under the blockade of two Taras.

Although Shiraki Masato is also in very poor condition, if he were to fight desperately, the battle could collapse at any moment.

But Fang Qing knew after thinking about it that Master Bai Mu wouldn't do that.

Putting aside the previous tacit understanding, how could the other party, a mid-stage Purple Mansion Realm expert, exchange two Taras?

Even the Hehuan Sect wouldn't do such a losing business, let alone Bai Mu Zhenren, whose safety rests entirely on the shoulders of the Zifu Immortal Clan.

"Why do I get the feeling... that the Hehuan Sect isn't very proactive in rescuing its subordinate Purple Mansion forces?"

As they flew, Fang Qing asked in confusion.

"Of course... Hehuan is, after all, a Golden Core sect, and what it values ​​is only its mountain gate... The other Purple Mansion forces are nothing more than rice growing in the fields. When the rice grows strong, it should be harvested... There has never been a case of the master risking his life for the sake of the livestock he raises."

Sangji, however, took it all in stride.

As for the question of how this move will affect the morale of his subordinates?

Would a Golden Core sect care about the power of human nature, which is as frivolous as a joke?

"It seems we're quite confident this time that we've persuaded Master Shiraki to surrender..."

Fang Qing was overjoyed.

If the other party resists to the end and their entire family is wiped out, they may not be able to preserve many of the supernatural power scrolls. It would be better to cooperate and hand over the techniques.

"After all, they are the [Ji Shui] Purple Mansion Family, they might even possess a Purple Mansion Spiritual Object?"

At this thought, Fang Qing couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion...

The land of the Eastern Waters.

A flower boat landed, and female cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage flew out from it, the leader of whom was none other than Yin Ping'er.

"It's reinforcements from the Upper Sect!"

"The Heavenly Army from the Upper Sect has arrived!"

All the Bai family members inside the formation who witnessed this scene were extremely excited.

Only Bai Mulin looked rather odd.

"The Hehuan reinforcements have been slaughtered. We, burdened with guilt, have no choice but to attack the formation and fight to the death!"

Yin Ping'er spoke with an air of nonchalance, as if evaluating an outsider, before gracefully twisting her body and, riding her sheer, veil-like Dao Foundation artifact, charging into the Purple Mansion Grand Array. "What are you all standing there for? Activate the array!"

Bai Mulin roared and activated the array, causing a stream of water to appear and sweep the silver bottle away.

In an instant, the Dao Foundation cultivator's flesh and blood were completely destroyed, and a surge of qi and blood power far exceeding that of a Qi Refining cultivator spread out, causing the great formation to stagnate slightly... Immediately afterwards, one after another, Dao Foundation cultivators from the Hehuan Sect died in battle, making Bai Mulin's expression extremely bleak.

"If the Shangzong had been determined to come to the rescue, how could the entire army have been wiped out?"

"Could it be... that my Dongshui Bai family is about to submit to the secret realm today?"

At that moment, a voice reached his ears.

"Mu Lin, come here..."

"It's our ancestor."

Thinking of Bai Mulin, Bai Mulin's mood finally calmed down a bit, and he headed towards the Lone Tree Forest...

"Um?"

Seeing that the Bai family's Purple Mansion Formation was already mostly destroyed, Master Bai Mu still showed no intention of surrendering.

Fang Qing was immediately surprised: "Has Master Bai Mu gone mad? Or has the Hehuan Sect offered an offer that's hard to refuse?"

"So be it... The arrow is already on the bowstring, and my White Bone Sect must destroy this Purple Mansion Formation."

At Sangji's command, the two Taras, Moonlight White and Sky Sparrow, once again released their golden forms.

A colossal, skeletal demon, even taller than the golden statue, roared menacingly. Three enormous figures surrounded the Purple Mansion Formation, relentlessly attacking. Fang Qing, wielding a bronze halberd, continuously gathered divine power, bolstering himself.

Swish!

Suddenly, the bronze halberd seemed to collapse like a pillar of heaven, causing the sky to tremble and the earth to crack, and the tip of the spear landed on the Purple Mansion Formation.

Wave!

In the void, water shimmered and rippled, spreading outwards like waves.

The ripples reached their peak and finally dissolved completely.

Splash!

The light of countless [Ji Shui] dimmed, the Purple Mansion Formation shattered, revealing the Bai family's territory behind it.

"At this point, why haven't these heretics surrendered?"

Sangji roared like a lion.

If True Person Bai Mu had surrendered before the Purple Mansion Array was broken, he might have gained some status. For example, he could have joined the Secret Realm and perhaps become a Dharma King, establishing his own lineage like the Black Spring Temple. Although he wouldn't be as prestigious as the Temple of the Origin of All Dharmas, he would still be quite distinguished.

Once the Purple Mansion Formation is broken, he might only be able to become a disciple or a protector.

Master Bai Mu clearly understood; that meant he had made up his mind, or the Hehuan Sect had offered some irresistible benefits. "Fellow Daoists... please!"

In the Lone Tree Forest, Master Bai Mu stood atop a giant banyan tree, looking as if he had suffered a great loss of energy.

In his hand, he was also playing with a strange ring.

This ring, only the size of a palm, radiated an astonishing [Ji Shui] brilliance, clearly a Purple Mansion magic treasure!

"As expected... the Bai family of Dongshui possesses a family heirloom, a Purple Mansion magic treasure!"

"But why does this person look so pale? Has his Dao injury worsened? Did he fight us with all his might last time? Or did he miscalculate something?" "If a Purple Mansion cultivator accidentally ingests the wrong spiritual fire or cultivates the wrong supernatural power... the consequences can be truly dire."

Fang Qing mentally scoffed as he gripped the bronze halberd tightly in his hand.

hum!

Before he could finish his thought, Master Bai Mu had already thrown the ring in his hand.

This magical artifact from the Purple Mansion is called the "Water Dividing Ring." It has been refined and crafted by several generations of Purple Mansion True Persons, and it possesses a certain mystical quality.

As soon as he made his move, a fine drizzle fell from the sky, and the azure-green [Ji Shui] shone brightly.

This is one of the wonders of the "Water Dividing Ring," named "Water Dividing"!

In the hazy rain, Fang Qing suddenly realized he was separated from the world by the rain, becoming a solitary traveler facing the torrential downpour! "Hah!"

He remained fearless, unleashing the power of his bronze halberd [Divine Might], which crashed into the rain.

Above the sky, the azure light of the [Ji Water] mingled with the dark black [Nu Earth], causing the rain to pause.

Suddenly, Fang Qing seemed to hear intermittent chanting and the roar of the mighty white bone demon again...
