I cultivate the Chaos Technique

Chapter 181 A new journey

After Lin Qingzhu's awakening, the Lingyun Sword Sect regained its former vitality. On the Tianfeng Peak plaza, the shouts of disciples cultivating echoed throughout, sword shadows flashed, and spiritual energy surged. Zhang Yifan and Lin Qingzhu cultivated together daily in a corner of the plaza, their figures attracting the attention of many disciples and becoming role models in their eyes.

One day, after Zhang Yifan and Lin Qingzhu finished their cultivation and were preparing to return to their residence, their senior brother Ling Yunfeng rushed over. He looked solemn and held a secret letter in his hand.

"Yifan, Qingzhu, we have important matters to discuss," Ling Yunfeng said.

The two followed Lingyun Peak to the sect master's main hall, where their third senior brother Han Wenhao, fourth senior brother Zhao Qingshan, fifth senior sister Li Mengyao, and sixth senior sister Fang Xue were already waiting.

Ling Yunfeng placed the secret letter on the table and said, "I just received news that a mysterious ruin has appeared in the far north. It is said that it contains supreme magic treasures and precious cultivation techniques. However, at the same time, many forces are also eager to make a move. If we can take the lead, it will definitely bring great improvement to the sect."

Zhang Yifan's gaze was firm as he said, "Senior Brother, I am willing to go."

Lin Qingzhu also said without hesitation, "I'll go with Yifan."

Everyone responded enthusiastically and decided to travel together to the far north to explore the ruins.

After several days of preparation, the group embarked on their journey. Along the way, the wind was biting cold, and snow fell heavily; the environment in the far north was extremely harsh. Gale-force winds swept through, seemingly threatening to engulf them.

When they finally arrived at the location of the mysterious ruins, they found that many experts from other sects had already gathered there. Among them, the Blood Demon Sect and the Shadow Cult had the strongest forces. The members of the Blood Demon Sect exuded a bloodthirsty aura, and their eyes revealed greed; the followers of the Shadow Cult were hidden in the darkness, only their cold, eerie eyes visible.

"It seems this competition will be extremely fierce," Ling Yunfeng said in a low voice.

The group cautiously approached the entrance to the ruins, but just as they were about to step inside, an elder from the Blood Demon Sect suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

"People of the Lingyun Sword Sect, this is not a place for you. If you know what's good for you, leave now," the Blood Demon Sect elder said viciously.

Zhang Yifan stepped forward and replied without fear, "This ruin does not belong to your Blood Demon Sect, so why can't we enter?"

The Blood Demon Sect elder snorted coldly, and a blood-red longsword instantly appeared in his hand, its blade emanating a strong stench of blood. "Then don't blame me for being impolite."

Tensions were high between the two sides, and a major battle was about to erupt. Just then, the leader of the Shadow Cult suddenly emerged from the darkness.

"Stop arguing, or none of us will be able to enter the ruins. Why don't we join forces to open the entrance first, and then each of us can fight for what's inside?" the Shadow Cult leader suggested.

The Blood Demon Sect elder and Ling Yunfeng exchanged a glance, both agreeing that the suggestion made some sense. Thus, the three parties reached a temporary agreement.

With everyone's combined efforts, the entrance to the ruins slowly opened, and an ancient and mysterious aura rushed out. The crowd eagerly surged inside.

The ruins were dark and damp, with eerie fluorescent lights flickering on the walls. The passageways were intricate and complex, resembling a giant maze. Zhang Yifan and his companions proceeded cautiously, constantly on guard against the dangers around them.

Suddenly, a roar came from ahead, and a huge guardian beast appeared before them. This guardian beast was the size of an ox, but it had three eyes and breathed out raging flames.

"Be careful, this guardian beast is quite powerful," shouted Han Wenhao, the third senior brother.

He quickly took out several talismans, chanted incantations, and the talismans instantly transformed into beams of light, flying towards the guardian beast. However, the guardian beast merely swayed its body, easily deflecting the talismans' attack.

Fourth Senior Brother Zhao Qingshan quickly took out a bottle of pills and handed them to everyone: "These are newly refined power-enhancing pills. Take them to increase your strength."

After taking the pills, everyone's strength increased significantly. Zhang Yifan unleashed the Thunderous Sky-Splitting Sword, sending bolts of lightning striking the guardian beast; Lin Qingzhu wielded her longsword, the sword shadows flashing, coordinating perfectly with Zhang Yifan.

With everyone working together, the guardian beast gradually became no match for them and finally collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

The group continued onward and finally arrived at the heart of the ruins. There stood a massive stone platform, upon which rested an ancient book radiating light and a sword shimmering with spiritual energy.

"This must be the legendary supreme magic weapon and precious cultivation technique," Fifth Senior Sister Li Mengyao said excitedly.

However, just as everyone was preparing to rush forward to seize the items, members of the Blood Demon Sect and the Shadow Cult suddenly launched an attack on the Lingyun Sword Sect members. In an instant, spiritual energy clashed, and shouts of battle shook the heavens.

Zhang Yifan and Lin Qingzhu stood back to back, engaging in a fierce battle with their enemies. Zhang Yifan pushed the Chaos Technique to its limit, causing the nine nascent souls within his body to shine brightly and release powerful spiritual energy. Lin Qingzhu, on the other hand, unleashed the unique sword technique of Green Bamboo Peak, her sword moves so sharp and unpredictable that her enemies could hardly defend against them.

In the midst of the fierce battle, Zhang Yifan gradually realized that relentlessly launching attacks was not a wise strategy. He observed the weaknesses in the enemy's attacks, searching for an opportunity to counterattack. Suddenly, he noticed that the Blood Demon Sect elder would pause briefly when unleashing his ultimate move.

"Second Senior Sister, when I draw out the Blood Demon Sect Elder's ultimate move, you take the opportunity to attack his weakness," Zhang Yifan said to Lin Qingzhu.

Lin Qingzhu nodded to indicate that she understood.

Zhang Yifan deliberately exposed an opening to lure the Blood Demon Sect elder into a trap. Seeing this, the Blood Demon Sect elder unleashed the strongest move of the Blood Demon Blade Technique, a massive crimson blade of light slashing towards Zhang Yifan. Just as the Blood Demon Sect elder's attack faltered, Lin Qingzhu darted out like lightning, thrusting her sword towards the Blood Demon Sect elder's chest.

The Blood Demon Sect elder was unable to dodge in time and was severely wounded by Lin Qingzhu's sword. Seeing their elder injured, the morale of the Blood Demon Sect members plummeted. The Shadow Sect members, sensing the danger, also began to retreat.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Lingyun Sword Sect launched a counterattack, driving the Blood Demon Sect and Shadow Cult members out of the ruins.

Zhang Yifan stepped forward and picked up the ancient book and sword from the stone platform. He opened the book and found that it contained an extremely powerful cultivation technique called "Chaos Breaking Heaven Technique," which bore some resemblance to his own Chaos Technique. The sword, on the other hand, was an ancient divine weapon called "Frost-Piercing Sword," its blade radiating a chilling aura that seemed capable of freezing everything.

“Senior Brother, bringing this cultivation technique and precious sword back to the sect will definitely greatly increase the strength of our Lingyun Sword Sect,” Zhang Yifan said.

Ling Yunfeng nodded with satisfaction: "Thanks to everyone, we not only obtained the treasure, but also let other sects witness the strength of our Lingyun Sword Sect."

Filled with the joy of victory, the group embarked on their journey back to the Lingyun Sword Sect. During this adventure, they not only acquired precious treasures but also deepened their friendship. Zhang Yifan and Lin Qingzhu, too, grew stronger through the battles. They knew that many more challenges awaited them, but as long as they worked together, nothing could stop them from moving forward.
