On a sweltering summer day, the lush grass along the cliffs surrounding Qingcheng Mountain presents a fresh shade of green.
In the wild, petals and greenery blanket the ground, while various animals frolic and play.
On the trees there are spiritual black cranes, and in the woods there are longevity deer and immortal foxes.
The peacock crows twice, and the black bear sleeps alone.
What a picturesque summer scene!
In the Dafeng Peak Taoist Temple, Chen Yun is fully engaged in refining the Qi bead.
He activated the "Neidan Jue" from "Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy" to cultivate qi.
Absorbing streams of spiritual energy into his body.
Transforming into spots of Danqi and absorbing them into the lower Dan Tian.
Soon, the two Qi beads in his hand lost their radiance and turned into fine powder, scattering silver-gray particles across the ground.
Chen Yun slowly opened his eyes, musing to himself, "In the past six or seven days, I have refined over a thousand Qi beads, and the Danqi within my body has increased by two more. Now I possess eleven channels."
Before, I had nine channels of Danqi within myself, equivalent to a beginner High Ranking Magician.
Now that I've added two more channels, although I still remain in the early stage of High Ranking Magician, my strength has been significantly enhanced.
Chen Yun estimated that once he has refined all the Qi beads, he should be able to increase his Danqi to around eighteen channels.
At that time, I will be almost at the mid-stage of High Ranking Magician.
And the combat power will be so fierce that even without using the Guan Xing Ji Shen, it will be unstoppable at the level of High Ranking Magician.
With eleven channels of Danqi, I should have the strength to rival a High Ranking Magician in their late stage under ordinary conditions. To defeat them, I would still need to use the Six-Sided Golden Body or the Fenglei (Wind and Thunder) Path body.
Chen Yun analyzed his strength, "In addition, I have a powerful artifact and treasure that, if used appropriately, can even match the level of a Great Teacher. Even if I face a Sage Lord, I will not be inferior."
In fact, as long as the treasure is used well, defeating the Teacher is not difficult.
For example, the Five-Colored Glass Pagoda.
This thing only needs to lock onto the enemy.
Even the Dragon Realm practitioners can be easily captured inside it.
There are also the binding banner for immortals, the ice ring, the Tai Chi purple sash robe, and so on.
The power of these artifacts is all incredibly powerful, making it possible to kill a Teacher Lord.
Not to mention these treasures, even tools like the Daggers and Needles have a chance to kill a Teacher Lord.
These artifacts, while relatively weak in power, still have a chance to kill a Teacher Lord. However, to succeed in killing one, it must be done when they are unprepared.
"Unless it's a cultivator with exceptionally strong body, tools like the Daggers and Needles won't work."
Chen Yun, deep in thought, "But I have the Golden Red Ribbon Gun, and if I encounter a cultivator with strong physique, I can definitely match their strength and fight to kill."
Analyzing it this way, assassinating the woman in the pink robe who attacked me shouldn't be too difficult.
However, the premise is that I need to be able to withstand that sword of starlight.
Thoughts in mind, Chen Yun extended his hand and the Tai Chi purple sash robe appeared.
He mobilized the power of his Yuan Shen and put on the Tai Chi purple sash robe, "This robe consumes a lot of spiritual awareness, so usually I don't wear it to save energy. Otherwise, the last time that woman in pink clothes attacked me, it might not have worked."
Since I have already suffered a big loss once, I won't be willing to waste so much spiritual awareness again.
Chen Yun wore the Tai Chi purple sash robe, putting the inner collar outside.
Should he encounter any danger, this divine robe would instantly unleash its defensive power.
"I haven't heard any news of my death, so it seems it's been spreading these days."
Chen Yun frowned slightly, "But why hasn't that woman in pink clothes come to look for me yet?"
Or perhaps, she is actually lurking around the outskirts of Qingcheng Mountain, and I just haven't noticed yet?
Chen Yun felt that this was a possibility.
He unconsciously spread his spiritual awareness.
It enveloped an area of several dozen miles in every direction.
Check for any abnormalities.
Initially, he really didn't find anything unusual.
After searching for a while, as Chen Yun was preparing to withdraw his spiritual awareness,
Suddenly, he discovered that about one hundred and fifty li away in the mountains, a colorful large tiger had all its fur standing on end as if it had felt something and was about to roar. However, it also felt an immense terror and began to crouch on the ground, shivering.
"Hmm?"
Chen Yun carefully observed the colorful large tiger, "As the king of the forest, a tiger might choose to avoid battle when facing some powerful animals. However, it would never show fear to any animal. Why is it showing such a color of fear at this moment?"
This is an abnormal phenomenon!
Unless there is a great danger hidden around the tiger!
Chen Yun continued to scan the area with his spiritual awareness, and still found no sources of danger.
"No! It's definitely not right!" He frowned and pondered, "If there were any fierce beasts around the tiger, I might understand its behavior. However, after using my spiritual awareness for so long, I haven't found anything around there. Perhaps... the woman in pink clothes has come?"
If the person has arrived, why hasn't she come to bother me?
Chen Yun had a pretty good guess. No surprise, the woman in pink must be aware of the strength of his Taoist temple.
After all, his Taoist temple houses two powerful beings, the Plague Demon and the Dragon King, which are comparable to a Teacher Lord level.
Moreover, there are several thousand gods and generals, and skilled disciples among the disciples.
He had previously analyzed the strength of the woman in pink and knew that she was not very powerful.
He estimated that her strength could only reach the late stage of High Ranking Magician.
If it was just a bare-handed fight, his current normal state would be enough to hold his ground.
Perhaps he might fall a little bit behind.
However, if he displayed his path body, he could pretty much dominate the fight.
Therefore, the woman in pink's strength lies in that sword with its streaming starlight.
Chen Yun guessed that the sword energy released by the Starlight Sword may be very fierce, but its suppression effect should belong to the "single-target" type.
If the woman in pink comes now, there's no way she can win.
Instead, she would be defeated and annihilated by the combined forces of the Plague Demon, Dragon King, Gong Ju Ji, gods and generals on our side.
"She's waiting for me to be alone!"
He immediately figured it out, "If I stay in the Taoist temple, she may continue to wait for a long time. This woman is known for her patience."
Chen Yun knew that the woman in pink had great patience because she disappeared for sixteen years during his trip to Dengzhou, and she still stuck to her wait. It must be extremely patient.
Why did he think that the woman in pink had already been waiting for him when he went to Dengzhou?
It's a simple logic, I didn't know how sixteen years had passed during my time in Lingjiushan.
If she hadn't been waiting ahead of time, how could she know when I would return from Lingjiushan and hide on the way to ambush me?
So, only one possibility remains, that is she has been waiting for a long time.
"I have to be alone for her to strike."
Chen Yun smiled, "So, does that mean she will keep waiting as long as I stay hidden in the temple?"
Marvelous!
Too marvelous!
Chen Yun suddenly remembered Yin Wuji.
That guy was not the one who had been waiting near Mount Emei all along, right? And he ended up going mad in the end.
Since that's the case, why not make a bit of a stir every day here, causing her to become like a startled bird and consume some of her strength. Then, go out and create an opportunity to be alone, luring her to come and attack me in stealth.
Although he had cultivated the Guan Xing Ji Shen and wore the Tai Chi purple sash robe, he really didn't have confidence that he could definitely withstand the energy of the Starlight Sword.
Therefore, it's important to consume her strength.
Chen Yun thought for a moment and immediately used his spiritual awareness to sense the outer avatar he had hidden by the seaside in Dengzhou for eighteen years, wanting to see if he could recall it back.
Back then, he left that outer avatar as a precaution.
Unexpectedly, after going to Lingjiushan, he lost contact with the outer avatar due to the long time of separation.
"Hmm?" Chen Yun furrowed his brow slightly, "How can I not sense it?"
Strange.
His outer avatar was not a real avatar.
It was not an independent personality.
In theory, he shouldn't have lost contact.
Then why can't I sense it now?
"Never mind, after I deal with this woman in pink, I'll go find the outer avatar."
Chen Yun didn't try to sense it again, instead he pulled out the solar energy of the Tao from the Gu Zhen Jing Space.
"With such a powerful foe ahead, first let's consecrate you into a form. As for the woman in pink, let her wait a bit longer."
Chen Yun thought about it and spat out a stream of elixir energy, which converged with the solar energy of the Tao.
At the same time, he began to recite incantations and cast one spell after another into the solar energy of the Tao.
Since his cultivation realm was relatively low, it would take him more time to consecrate the form.
Chen Yun estimated that it would take about a month to consecrate the avatar.
He doesn't hurry or panic as he consecrates it.
The solar energy of the Tao gradually emitted a blazing light, expanding and surging continuously as if it were birthing something.
Days passed one after another.
On the fifth day, a faint figure began to take shape within the solar energy of the Tao.
On the ninth day, as a large amount of elixir energy poured in, the solar energy of the Tao began to grow into muscles, skin and membranes.
On the twentieth day, the solar energy of the Tao had transformed into a body almost identical to his own.
The only thing regretful is that this body has not yet been given a "soul."
Chen Yun wasn't worried at all.
Continuously spraying elixir energy into it.
He cast one spell after another into every inch of the avatar's body.
He was like manufacturing a precise machine, and he didn't dare to make any mistakes.
Finally, on the twenty-ninth day, the body gradually opened its eyes.
The eyes of the avatar still looked somewhat lifeless, as if it had yet to be awakened.
Chen Yun took a deep breath, "It's time to complete the last step and fully activate the avatar!"
After a month of consecration, although the elixir energy in his body had been depleted and could be replenished through cultivation, he felt physically exhausted.
He thought that when the avatar was fully consecrated, he had to sleep soundly.
Thoughtfully, Chen Yun launched his final assault.
A large amount of elixir energy burst forth from his mouth.
It turned into vast and boundless points of light.
All of them gathered in the brain of the avatar.
His hands moved rapidly.
If someone stood by, they couldn't even see the movements with their naked eyes.
One after another incantations rose from his dancing hands, turning into gas symbols that also gathered in the brain of the avatar.
As the elixir energy and incantations were infused.
The avatar's eyes became increasingly lively.
After more than an hour, Chen Yun slowly withdrew his hands.
Suddenly, two beams of spiritual energy shot out from the avatar's eyes, like lasers, and the entire body instantly "came to life"!
Only to see the avatar floating in mid-air, bowing and saying gracefully: "Thank you, my fellow cultivator, for giving me life!"
Done!
The avatar has finally been created!
Chen Yun couldn't help but be overjoyed. With this avatar that was comparable to a late-stage High Ranking Magician and identical in fate to his own, he could easily consume the strength of the woman in pink and eventually trick her into coming out!
Once I recover my elixir energy through cultivation, and refine all the qi pearls, it will be time for me to take revenge and avenge my honor!
Once I manage to refine all the qi pearls, my strength will at least soar to the middle stage of a High Ranking Magician.
Once that happens, as long as I can break through the might of her Starlight Sword.
Then, even without displaying my path body, I might be able to annihilate her!
Break the power of the Starlight Sword?
Chen Yun chuckled lightly, "I have the Seven Treasures of Wonder, just swipe away her magical items directly, why bother to break them?"
