Chapter 370 Breakthrough! Hunyuan Golden Immortal
When the Western disciples saw this, they cried out in shock. They couldn't believe their eyes. Brother Maitreya had actually died like this?
"This...how is this possible?" asked a Western disciple in a trembling voice, his eyes full of confusion and fear.
“Senior Brother Maitreya is a cultivator at the Golden Immortal level, how...how could it be like this…” another disciple continued, his voice full of grief and unwillingness.
Wen Zhong's face was as solemn as the sky covered with dark clouds when he saw this. He knew very well that Maitreya was the strongest person in Jiepai Pass.
However, even Maitreya could not survive a few moves at the hands of Guangchengzi, let alone the rest of the people?
Adhering to the principle of "as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no fear of running out of firewood", Wen Zhong issued an order to call back the troops and hang up the banner of no war.
Following Wen Zhong's order, a burst of rapid golden gong sounds suddenly rang out in the Shang army camp, and the soldiers put away their weapons and retreated in an orderly manner.
In the Zhou army camp, Jiang Ziya saw Wen Zhong leading the Shang army to retreat to Jiepai Pass, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
This smile contains both the joy of victory and the relief from past failures.
After all, they had suffered too many defeats in the city of Jiepai Pass. Now that they could finally hold their heads high, how could they not feel gratified?
"Brother Ziya, why don't you seize the opportunity to capture Jiepai Pass in one fell swoop?"
At this moment, Guangchengzi's voice suddenly sounded in Jiang Ziya's ears, with a hint of doubt and confusion.
Jiang Ziya was slightly startled when he heard this, then turned his head to look at Guang Chengzi and responded:
"Big Brother, Wen Zhong has already ordered his men to avoid fighting. If we continue to pursue them now, we'll probably give them something to criticize us."
"Also, although we have achieved a temporary victory, the strength of the Shang army cannot be underestimated. If we continue to advance recklessly, we will probably fall into danger and the loss will outweigh the gain."
“Therefore, it is safer to seek progress while maintaining stability.”
After hearing this, Guang Chengzi's brows relaxed slightly, as if he understood Jiang Ziya's concerns. He stroked the whisk in his hand, pondered for a moment, and asked:
"Junior Brother Ziya, what you said makes sense. Although I know very little about the rules of the mortal battlefield, I also know that seeking progress while maintaining stability is the best strategy. In this case, I will follow your wishes."
Jiang Ziya nodded slightly when he heard this, and then turned around and told his deputy general, "Deputy General Ming, quickly pass the order and order the entire army to retreat ten miles away and strengthen defense. There must be no mistakes."
"At the same time, send elite spies to closely monitor the movements of the Shang army. If you find anything unusual, report it immediately."
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Ming's expression froze, and he immediately bowed his hands and promised:
"I will follow the Prime Minister's orders!" After saying that, he turned and left, quickly conveying Jiang Ziya's order.
Jiang Ziya looked at General Li's departing back and nodded secretly. After a while, he turned to Guangchengzi and Juliusun again, bowed and said:
"I am very grateful to Senior Brother and Juliusun for their help this time. Ziya is very grateful."
Upon hearing this, Guangchengzi and Juliusun waved their hands, indicating that Jiang Ziya did not need to be so polite.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya felt warmed in his heart, nodded, and then led everyone back to the Zhou army tent.
Then, the two armies fell into a stalemate again.
……
In Yufu Mountain, spiritual energy within a hundred miles radius continuously gathered towards the Cangqiong Palace, forming circles of vortexes.
In the secret caves of Yufu Mountain, Yuan Hong, Yang Jian, Mu Zha and other disciples are immersed in their own practice.
However, suddenly, an unprecedented fluctuation of spiritual power broke the tranquility. It surged like a tide, penetrating the restrictions of the cave and reaching everyone's heart.
Yuan Hong's cave was closest to the Cangqiong Palace, and he was the first to feel the abnormality. He suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, muttering to himself:
"Is this... Master about to break through?"
As he spoke, the inner energy in his body surged, and his figure shook, transforming into a stream of light that soared into the sky, aiming directly at the Cangqiong Palace where all the spiritual energy was concentrated.
At the same time, Yang Jian was awakened from his deep practice. He frowned slightly, feeling the abnormal changes in the spiritual power around him, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart.
He stood up and looked towards the direction of the Sky Palace, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. He turned to Mu Zha who came to discuss magic with him and said:
"Junior Brother Mu Zha, it seems that our master is about to break through. We might as well go to the Sky Palace to take a look. Perhaps we can gain some insights."
Mu Zha nodded slightly upon hearing this, and his face also showed joy. He smiled and said:
"That's exactly what I meant. It's our honor to be able to witness Master's moment like this."
After saying that, the two of them stretched out their bodies and transformed into two green rays of light. They followed Yuan Hong closely and rushed towards the Cangqiong Palace.
Xiaobai and Nezha, who were far away from the Cangqiong Palace, also rushed to the Cangqiong Palace as soon as possible.
After a while, Xiaobai and Nezha arrived outside the Cangqiong Palace, only to see Yuan Hong, Yang Jian and Muzha already standing there, looking at the movements inside the Cangqiong Palace with serious expressions.
When Nezha saw them, he couldn't wait to ask, "Big Brother, Second Brother, Second Brother, you guys came so quickly! Why don't you go in?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian shook his head slightly and explained:
"Brother Nezha, you don't know. The master is at the critical moment of breakthrough right now and cannot tolerate any interruption."
"If we rush in, I'm afraid it will affect Master's cultivation. Let's wait here. Once Master breaks through, it won't be too late for us to go in and congratulate him."
Nezha listened to Yuan Hong's explanation and nodded to show his understanding. He stared at the gate of the Cangqiong Palace and prayed silently for his master.
At the same time, Luo Shu, who was in the secret room of the Cangqiong Palace, was concentrating with his eyes closed. His whole body was wrapped in a layer of faint golden light, as if he had merged with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
"The realm of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, I must break through to this realm!" Luo Shu muttered to himself, with a hint of determination and resoluteness in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, and all the pores in his body seemed to open up, greedily absorbing every bit of spiritual energy in the secret room.
These spiritual energies flowed through his body and merged with his original spiritual power, forming a more powerful and purer force.
This power continued to expand within Luo Shu's limbs and bones, as if it would break through his body at any time and be released between heaven and earth.
Luo Shu knew that this was the critical moment for a breakthrough. He had to concentrate all his thoughts and direct this force to impact the shaky bottleneck.
This bottleneck was the gap that he had been unable to overcome after several days of practice, and it was also the last obstacle for him to enter the realm of Hunyuan Jinxian.
He closed his eyes tightly, and the spiritual power in his body began to circulate frantically. These spiritual powers rushed through his meridians, like thousands of troops, unstoppable.
They impacted Luo Shu's body, causing him to feel waves of severe pain.
However, Luo Shu gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and continued to guide his spiritual power to impact the bottleneck.
"boom--!!!"
A deafening roar sounded in Luo Shu's body. He felt an unprecedented force erupting in his body, as if it was about to tear his body apart.
However, under the impact of this force, the bottleneck that had been hindering his progress actually began to crack!
Luo Shu was delighted, he knew that he was very close to a breakthrough.
So, he continued to guide his spiritual power to impact the bottleneck, and each impact made the crack more obvious.
Finally, after a violent impact, the bottleneck was broken!
At this moment, it seemed as if the heaven and earth were shaking, and an unprecedented powerful force surged out from Luo Shu's body.
It instantly broke through the restrictions of the secret room and spread to the entire Cang Qiong Palace like a tide. Its power was so great that Yuan Hong, Yang Jian, Mu Zha, Xiaobai and Nezha who were outside the Cang Qiong Palace felt an irresistible pressure and almost couldn't breathe.
Luo Shu felt that his body became tougher under the impact of this force, and every inch of his skin seemed to be reforged.
And under the nourishment of this power, the soul became more solid, as if it had established some subtle connection with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
Luo Shu took a deep breath, feeling the surging spiritual power in his body. He knew that he had successfully broken through to the realm of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
He took a deep breath, feeling the spiritual power in his body surging like a river, and his heart was filled with indescribable joy and pride.
"Today, I finally become the Golden Immortal!"
After saying that, Luo Shu disappeared in a flash.
