Cultivators Are So Weak in This World

"That's good, that's good..." Zhang Rongyu's beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of reminiscence.

"The external sky path leads directly to the beyond. When you are away from home, without me and your father around to watch over you, remember to always be humble, avoid unnecessary conflicts. Remember, step back and the sea will widen."

"I understand, Mother, don't worry." Zhang Huanqing replied earnestly, "No matter what, as the wielder of the Gentleman's Sword, I won't easily encounter danger."

"It's different... The Gentleman's Sword is formidable here, but outside, it's a different story...." Zhang Rongyu said solemnly, "Your master, grandmaster, senior uncles and junior uncles, all have high expectations for you. As you venture out, you're carrying the task of spreading our Confucian principles and establishing the external headquarters of our Confucianism. Be sure never to harbor thoughts of killing or start disputes lightly."

"I understand, Mother." Zhang Huanqing replied somewhat helplessly.

"Don't get impatient." Zhang Rongyu smiled. "The reason I called you over this time isn't just to repeat old lectures, but there's another matter I need to explain to you."

"Please tell me, Mother." Zhang Huanqing lowered his head and waited quietly.

"It's about your uncle." Zhang Rongyu sighed lightly. "When you go to the outside world, remember to visit your uncle and give him this letter."

Uncle!?

A terrifying image of his uncle, who had frightened him to the core as a child and caused him numerous nightmares, instantly flashed in Zhang Huanqing's mind.

"Can't I not go?" Zhang Huanqing's heart felt a little flustered.

"No, you can't." Zhang Rongyu shook her head. "Over these years, it's thanks to your uncle's influence that we've been so smooth and peaceful. Regardless of the circumstances, you should visit him personally to express your gratitude. Even if he is family, it's necessary."

"But isn't it too distant between family members like this?" Zhang Huanqing replied, somewhat helpless.

"The better the family is to you, the more they deserve to be rewarded in kind. At that time, you should stay by your uncle's side and help him with his affairs." Zhang Rongyu sighed.

"You've now mastered both poison techniques and martial arts, unearthing exceptional talents in your Duke bloodline. Your combat skills have even surpassed many Confucian grandmasters, reaching unprecedented levels.

If you wish to improve further, there is no longer a path here. You need to go to the outside world."

"I understand, Mother." Zhang Huanqing continued to listen to his mother's nagging, though his heart was filled with reluctance.

Originally indifferent by nature, his personality had been directly overwhelmed by the powerful Duke-level bloodline after altering his lineage.

Though he had now returned to normal, compared to ordinary people, his temperament remained slightly reserved.

After a series of instructions, Zhang Huanqing kowtowed and said a solemn farewell.

The next day, he packed up his belongings and, along with a team of Great Spirit youths, set off on the external sky path.

The external sky path is located within the Great Spirit region, at Wish Girl Gorge.

From outside Wish Girl Gorge, one can clearly see a gigantic woman dressed in a pure white gown with her face completely veiled by numerous strands of black hair, resting on the right side of the more than a hundred-meter-high sky path, seemingly taking a break.

The woman's height slightly exceeds that of the sky path itself, standing on one side as if guarding the entrance, motionless like a statue.

At this moment, the Great Spirit team, prepared to proceed to the outside world, had gradually gathered at the entrance, awaiting the path to open.

Zhang Huanqing stood at the forefront of the crowd, not engaging in conversation with those behind him, but instead focused his gaze on the enormous white-dressed woman.

"That is the Wish Girl, the Guardian of the external sky path here. She's also reputed as the mightiest guardian. It is rumored that she is one of the Daoist Ancestor's Three Flowers, revered as one of the Holy Mothers of the White Lotus."

A tall woman draped in a black veil approached Zhang Huanqing and spoke.

"In recent years, the numerous changes coming from the outside world have profoundly impacted the Great Spirit." The woman sighed, "My original competitive spirit has gradually faded. This time, going out, I want to see the heights that person has reached."

"With a teacher as gifted and talented as yours, I'm sure they'll fulfill their aspirations." Zhang Huanqing, though unaware of whom the woman referred to, had absolute confidence in his teacher.

The woman shook her head and walked ahead, entering the massive passage composed of flesh and blood.

"Let's go."

Inside the passage, two individuals clad in black robes, each over ten meters tall, positioned themselves on either side.

Seeing people arrive, they lowered their heads, lifting the long knives in their hands slightly, revealing a dark red vehicle resembling an open-top sightseeing car.

Interestingly, the car's base lacked wheels.

Zhang Huanqing and his group, familiar with previous introductions and warnings, were not surprised. They promptly approached, taking turns to sit in the open-top car.

Everyone had their own seat, taking turns to sit down.

Ss.

At this point, the walls on both sides of the passage wriggled, producing two identical female faces.

"The destination of the passage is called Yuan City. During the journey, please refrain from rising randomly to avoid retaliatory attacks."

The two faces spoke.

"What... is this!?" The people on the vehicle felt as though they had wandered into a bizarre and peculiar scene, entering the passage like normal, but now....

"Be careful!" Zhang Huanqing, seated at the front, suddenly warned.

Buzz.

Suddenly, the entire vehicle was lifted.

Numerous pale arms sprouted from the bottom of the passage, hoisting the vehicle entirely.

Before anyone could react.

A multitude of arms emerged like a tide from beneath the vehicle. They tightly clutched the vehicle, then pushed down and pulled back.

It resembled a gradually tightened spring.

Boom!

In an instant, the vehicle shot forward like a rectangular drawer.

Following the sky path, Zhang Huanqing occasionally glimpsed the outside scenery through a translucent membrane on the side.

They were swiftly leaving the ground, ascending towards the sky.

He glanced towards the bottom side of the vehicle.

Countless pale arms constantly sprouted from beneath the vehicle, supporting it, relaying, and propelling it upwards.

Someone screamed, someone gritted their teeth and closed their eyes, not daring to look around, while others excitedly shouted, saliva and tears flying.

The speed of the car was too fast, their voices even seemed to be drawn backward by the wind.

Zhang Huanqing narrowed his eyes slightly, just about to take a rest, when suddenly a sharp buzzing sound rang out.

He opened his eyes wide and saw a point of blue light appearing in mid-air on the right side of the passage.

The blue light was initially only the size of a fist, but quickly expanded to the size of a human head, and then suddenly enlarged and inflated.

Boom!!!

The massive blue light burst suddenly, hitting the outer layer of the passage in an instant.

The entire outer celestial road snapped in half and then collapsed.

The vehicles traveling at high speed were suddenly thrown out, everyone opened their mouths wide, tumbling in the air, trying to control their bodies.

But an invisible transparent ripple, like a bag, swallowed them all up.

Celestial Lotus Palace.

Zhang Rongfang looked at the emergency intelligence that had just been delivered.

"The outer celestial road was bombed? This group of Great Spirit trainees were hijacked?"

Seeing in the report, even Zhang Huanqing's name appeared, the blood fire in Zhang Rongfang's eyes gradually grew.

"Over the years, there has always been a dark force continuously sabotaging the search for the three great secret locks and the construction of long-distance passages."

White Scales and Hongye stood in front, Hongye reported in a deep voice.

"They are omnipresent and strike swiftly, impossible to catch any trace."

"The Inspection Department has been tracking for a long time, but the clues still remain scarce. It is said that this organization calls itself the Stars."

Zhang Rongfang was silent for a moment.

"What about the Blood Rainbow Pavilion?"

"The three Human Immortals of the Blood Rainbow Pavilion, along with most of the masters, are now in the Spirit Map Continent helping Chana Tower in the search for the second secret lock. We've made some progress." Hongye replied.

The efficiency of Chana Tower was too low, with too few intelligent masters. Nine years ago, Zhang Rongfang began to send out the Snow Rainbow Pavilion to participate in the search for the secret lock to speed up progress.

It was precisely because of this that it attracted continuous attacks and ambushes from this mysterious organization called the Stars.

"They are certain I will intervene, that's why they targeted this team for their attack." Zhang Rongfang thought, immediately grasping the opponent's intent.

Indeed, if it were another team, he might not care, but Zhang Huanqing, his sister's only son, was in this team, so he had no choice but to intervene.

In terms of power, he had no weak points except for Long, but in other aspects, he was not invulnerable.

As long as there is someone or something you care about, there will always be a weak spot.

"Do you have any strategy?" he asked, looking up at White Scales and Hongye as this thought crossed his mind.

"We should immediately send out the Inspection Department to fully investigate the attack, and also, after plundering the Bloodline, they can isolate the Bloodline from your connection. Not many forces have such technology." Hongye said in a deep voice.

The Inspection Department also has many experts, most of whom are from the Spirit Extreme Institute, Celestial Character Institute, and other experts, just below the level of Human Immortal.

"The opponent is so scheming, they just want to lure me out." Zhang Rongfang did not respond.

Now, the Blood Alliance has already become one of the two top forces alongside Chana Tower.

Although Long could completely defeat him, he couldn't kill him entirely.

As long as he can't be completely killed, it's mutually assured destruction, so the two great forces continue as if nothing has happened, coexisting peacefully.

"Since this is what they want, then... let it be as he wishes."

Fourteen years have passed...

The Nine Phoenix Bloodline was already complete, and not only that, he also gained many extra bloodlines, Qilin, Vermilion Bird, Vermilion Bird, Devil, Demon Lord, etc., all perfected.

But these bloodlines didn't amplify him much.

Essentially, these bloodlines enhanced overlapping abilities, just augmenting his martial abilities through the Heart-Burning Furnace replicated by the ultimate creature.

But these abilities can only make his life more convenient and widen the gap with many experts below.

But they still couldn't break through to Long's level.

Long's offensive power was extremely strong, but more troublesome was his phantom-like, untouchable true form.

Over the years, Zhang Rongfang has secretly challenged Long three times, only to be completely defeated each time without exception.

The Absolute Extinguishing Molecular Sword destroys all material flaws by manipulating molecules.

Without reaching the same level, you can't even see your opponent's offensive.

Flames and coldness can only delay and prolong your survival but can't harm your opponent.

Just as Long said, without entering the Microcosm, you don't even have the qualification to understand this realm.

In the midst of endless failure, Zhang Rongfang finally set his sights on another place.

A former rival who has been entangled with Long for so many years.

Long is untouchable, so he tried to find the key to countering him from there.

That is the three great secret locks of the Spirit Eye Race.
