The Ancient Sovereign

0Within the Nine Heavens Valley, a group of Qi Refining Stage Cultivator were gathered in a valley, their faces filled with worry.    

    

If Han Yan was here, he would definitely recognize them as these were the disciples of the Tianming Sect.    

    

This time, a total of ten people from Tianming Sect had come. Other than the one that Han Yan had killed earlier, there were only nine other people left. At the moment, there were only six people here, all of them covered in blood. One half of the blood came from them, while the other half was left behind by other cultivators. Qi Hao's face turned pale white, he looked at the five people beside him and spat out a mouthful of blood.    

    

Everyone immediately asked: "Eldest Brother, how are you?"    

    

Qi Hao waved his hand and took out a Pill from the storage bag. He swallowed it and said: "It's fine, everyone hurry up and recover your spirit energy. There will be a more difficult battle later." Then, he looked at Han Fei, who was being supported by Wang Ping, and asked: "Junior Martial Brother Han, how are your injuries?"    

    

Han Fei was heavily injured and was no longer able to stand. His right shoulder was already broken. When he was fighting with the cultivators just now, if not for Qi Hao's help, he would have died.    

    

Hearing Eldest Brother's words, Han Fei shook his head with great difficulty, and said: "I'm fine." As soon as he finished speaking, he spat out another mouthful of blood.    

    

Tang Xiaofeng clenched his fists tightly, and roared angrily at the people outside the cove, and said angrily: "Bastard from the Shou Yang School, if you have the ability, come out, this daddy will fight it out with you."    

    

Zhou Fei, who was at the side, promptly pulled him back and said: "Junior Brother Tang, don't be rash, quickly recover your spirit energy!"    

    

Tang Xiaofeng shrugged off Zhou Fei's shoulders and replied without a trace of gratitude, "What's recovery? Wang Yi that bastard, told us that he could leave after entering for a year. We have already waited here for three years, but he still hasn't left. The formation outside the valley cannot be broken at all, and we will die here sooner or later. "    

    

When Qi Hao heard this, he let out a sigh and advised: "Junior Brother Tang, it's useless to complain about this, it's better to recover your spirit energy quickly!"    

    

Tang Xiaofeng suddenly turned around, and said to Qi Hao: "Qi Hao, why are you telling me this, if it wasn't for us protecting the Wind Spirit Orb, would it have ended up like this? I think if you throw the Wind Spirit Bead out, I won't believe that they will still kill us. "    

    

Qi Hao's face sank, and said angrily: "Tang Xiaofeng, what are you saying? Have you forgotten what Master Ancestor had said earlier?"    

    

"I didn't forget." Tang Xiaofeng was excited and shouted, "We have gathered a lot of spirit herbs and ores here, losing a Wind Spirit Bead is no big deal. Why do you need to send us to our deaths for such a lousy thing."    

    

Zhou Fei gazed into the cave and his mouth moved a few times, as though he had something to say. But when she saw Qi Hao's gloomy face, she swallowed back the words that were about to leave her mouth, and transformed into a silent sigh.    

    

The reason for all of this was because of the Wind Spirit Bead. If it wasn't for the Wind Spirit Bead, which was seen by the disciples of the Suspending Sun Sect, they wouldn't have contacted other sects to kill them. Even more infuriating was the fact that the sects that had originally been allied together with them were now nowhere to be found. If a group of disciples had come to their aid, they wouldn't have lost three of their fellow disciples.    

    

There were a lot of amazing treasures in the Nine Heavens Valley. Not only were there large amounts of herbs, there were also a lot of ores, and these ores were all good materials for refining. From the most common fine iron to the rare metal and stone, it could be seen everywhere. If he could bring these materials out, break through the Qi Refining stage and reach the Foundation Building stage, it would be as easy as flipping his hand. He could even form a golden core and become a golden core stage Ranker.    

    

Don't look at the ten sects that came this time, in the end only seven of them entered the Nine Heavens Valley. Other than the disciples that were chased away, the cultivators of the State of Zhao and Qi Kingdom were all killed and no one entered the Nine Heavens Valley. Out of the seven sects, the Tianming Sect and the other three sects had split up. Chu, Han and Song had formed a new alliance. When the cultivators of the Tianming Sect were killed, it was not that the other three sects did not want to come and help, but they were the same as the cultivators of the Tianming Sect. Most of them were killed, and the remaining cultivators had long hid in a corner of the valley, hoping for the array to activate earlier.    

    

In a forest outside the col, the cultivators of the three sects were gathered together and discussing how to attack in a low voice.    

    

The three leaders were the leaders of the three sects. The three of them stood at the very front of the forest, and stared at the col where Qi Hao and the rest were. Song Guang, the head disciple of the Song Clan of the Orthodoxy of the Song Nation, gazed ahead and said to the two people beside him, "Brother Zhang, why don't you attack them all at once and kill them all?"    

    

The Brother Zhang was called Zhang Yiming and the head disciple of the Sun Life School. When he heard Song Guang, his eyes flashed a ray of light and he said: "Brother Song, you may not know, but this cove is very special. If so many of us attack together, even though we can take them down, we will still have heavy losses. "    

    

Song Guang nodded his head and said, "Are we going to wait here?"    

    

Hong Wei, the head disciple of the Han Xue Sect at the side, could not help but ask, "Brother Zhang, have you thought about the fact that if we wait for their spirit energy to recover before we attack, even more people will die."    

    

Zhang Yiming waved his hand and gave the two of them a look that they did not need to worry about, then slowly said: "My two dao friends, do not worry, I have seen this array before. When we attack from the ground and the air, the casualties will be reduced to zero. " His voice was not loud, but it was filled with certainty.    

    

After the two of them heard this, surprise flashed past their eyes. Song Guang was even more impressed, "Brother Zhang, I didn't think that you had some understanding of natural formations."    

    

Zhang Yiming smiled slightly and said: "I only know a little about it."    

    

Song Guang suddenly thought of something and sighed, then casually said: "Brother Zhang, since you know about natural formations, you should know it too right? We were trapped here for three years. We thought that we could open the formation three years ago, but we ended up in a sealed state. Can you see the reason behind it? "    

    

Zhang Yiming had studied array formations since he was young, although his cultivation was not high, he had a deep understanding of array formations. His ability to break array formations, was not even half of his strength in Old Monster of Elemental Infant Stage. It was a pity that his cultivation was limited. Even though he had broken through and deduced some array formations, he didn't have the ability to open them. For example, he could see through most of the formations outside the Nine Heavens Valley, but he did not have the strength to break through them.    

    

Hearing Song Guang's words, Hong Wei also said, "That's right! If Brother Zhang is able to break through this array, I will help you with one. "    

    

Zhang Yiming looked at the blue sky, laughed bitterly, and said: "The two of you may not understand formations, but the formations here are quite mysterious. When I came here, I had observed them carefully, and they did not last for a long time.    

    

"A series?" The two of them opened their eyes wide and looked at Zhang Yiming.    

    

Zhang Yiming continued: "The formations here are connected to the outside world. The moment a formation outside changes, it will affect the formations here." He paused before continuing, "Do you two still remember? Nine Heavens Valley's opening date was half a month earlier than before. "If my guess is right, then when someone broke into another formation, it caused the formation here to change."    

    

Song Guang saw that Zhang Yiming's analysis was logical, and asked: "Since that's the case, does Brother Zhang know when the array will be opened again?"    

    

Zhang Yiming let out a long sigh, and said helplessly: "Perhaps in a few years, perhaps I will have to wait until it opens again a hundred years later."    

    

"A hundred years?" After the two of them heard this, they almost vomited blood. They were already over 50 years old. If they waited over a hundred years, wouldn't they be able to leave soon as well?    

    

Hong Wei's eyes dimmed as he said, "So, if we can't break through here, even if we brought along some treasures, we won't have time to do so?"    

    

Zhang Yiming looked at the two of them, and said: "Fellow Daoists, there is no need to be so pessimistic, the Spirit Qi here might not be as strong as the Spirit Qi in the sect, but it is not weak either, we can kill the other cultivators and break through here." He saw that the two of them were still pessimistic, so he changed the topic and smiled, "Don't forget, the reason why the cultivators from the past didn't get much was because they could only stay here for a year with limited time. "Yet, we can stay for a hundred years. That is the fortune of the Heaven Belt, and within a hundred years, we can definitely find all the treasures that we cannot find before. At that time, forget about reaching the golden core stage, we can even reach the Nascent Soul stage."    

    

The eyes of the two brightened as they looked at each other, then burst out laughing.    

    

When the people nearby heard his laughter, some of them could not help but ask, "Eldest Brother, what are you so happy about? "Let's hear it together."    

    

Song Guang was the type of person who had no brains. Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Yiming spoke first, "It's nothing, everyone hurry up and recover your spirit energy so that we can launch our main attack tonight. Whoever kills the other person will own the storage bag. "    

    

When everyone heard this, they all became excited and shouted loudly, "Alright!"    

    

Song Guang revealed a puzzled face, and said: "Brother Zhang, why don't you tell this kind of good news to everyone!"    

    

Zhang Yiming's eyes flashed, and said: "You two, although the Nine Heavens Valley is big, but there aren't many treasures in the valley. If we search together, will you guys be able to obtain any good treasures? Besides, if he really found the treasure, how would he divide it up? It may not be good to attack people from the same sect, but if the value of the treasure exceeds the range of your hands, would the two of you kill it or not? "    

    

The two of them nodded in agreement. Hong Wei said, "Brother Zhang, do you mean that after we exterminate the other sects, the three of us can act alone?"    

    

Zhang Yiming shook his head and said: "You don't need to go alone. Find a few friends that you have a good relationship with and we will search for them together."    

    

"What about the other cultivators?" Song Guang asked.    

    

Zhang Yiming said: "Very simple, let them cultivate in their original places and break through to Foundation Establishment."    

    

Song Guang thought for a moment before replying, "That won't do. What if they attack us after they break through?"    

    

Zhang Yiming's face was gloomy. He couldn't figure out such a simple reason, he really didn't know how the other party managed to reach Qi Disciple level 10.    

    

Song Guang was not happy that Zhang Yiming did not speak. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Hong Wei spoke up: "Brother Song, do you still not understand the meaning of Brother Zhang's words? How many cultivators of the three Sects are able to reach our cultivation bases? Even if we make them cultivate with all their might, they won't be able to break through until more than ten years have passed! Although the Nine Heavens Valley is big, we can still search it all over in such a long time. "    

    

Zhang Yiming nodded his head, and said: "That's right, when the time comes, the three of us will each take care of a region, and search even faster." After saying that, he suddenly thought of something and spoke to the two of them: "You two, if I'm not wrong, the Wind Spirit Orb should not be in Qi Hao's hands, it might be in Han Fei's hands. When the time comes for us to attack, we will kill him with our hands. "

The two of them looked towards Zhang Yiming at the same time, their faces filled with puzzlement.
