CHAPTER 279: CHAPTER 204 SECT LEADER’S COMPENSATION_2

As time passed by.

Exhaling a long breath, it was refined and could now be used.

Reached the middle stage of Qi Cultivation, with dual spirit roots, I can attempt to wield two blades.

With a thought, a yellow and a blue flying sword flew out.

Although it took some effort, I could fully control them, unleashing their full power.

Haha, this doubled my combat strength.

Brother Dao had an epiphany, realizing that to wield two junior-level attack magical artifacts, one must have at least dual spirit roots.

The second requirement is that the Basic Sword Control Skill must be perfected; otherwise, the strength of the two artifacts would drop by 30% and would not be as effective as wielding just one.

As for cultivation level, it must at least reach the middle stage of Qi Cultivation.

Even so, Brother Dao could now feel that to unleash the full power of two junior-level artifacts simultaneously, the spiritual power consumption increases by 50%.

It’s equal to wielding two junior-level artifacts using three times the mana of wielding one.

But it was all worth it.

During the sect’s inner disciple competition, why didn’t others use this tactic?

Upon thinking, haha, they also need to have two attack artifacts.

Those who have the conditions would think about one defense and one attack!

If the Golden Bell wasn’t my lifebound magical artifact, I wouldn’t be able to sustain wielding two attack artifacts while also activating the Golden Bell.

Brother Dao planned to cultivate diligently here for a while, simply advancing to the peak of the sixth-layer of Qi Cultivation, using this top-grade Yuan-Breaking Pill to break through to high-level Qi Cultivation again.

Becoming a core disciple, receiving more sect resources, and being intensively trained would surely be great, haha!

Then I could consider my strength in reality.

This wouldn’t take too long for me.

Driven by the heart, take action and consume all experience to level up.

Then, though a bit heartbroken, it’s the quickest way.

Afterward, directly convert spirit stones into experience; even though leveling up now consumes a lot of experience, the spirit stones are barely enough.

In one breath, Brother Dao reached the peak of the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, Level 140—there’s no rush to break through this small bottleneck.

First, familiarize myself with the Water Element Formulas; when combined with the Earth Element Formulas, they not only double the cultivation speed but also double the breakthrough ability, so this small bottleneck is not a problem.

Just as Brother Dao was becoming familiar with the Water Element Formulas.

A slight tremor.

The Eye of Investigation prompts: Someone in reality is trying to contact you.

Brother Dao was taken aback.

This isn’t within the Celestial Net’s range, so communication methods like forums aren’t working.

However, if someone physically interferes with my game pod, I’m still notified.

I don’t know what’s happening; it seems I must leave.

Without hesitation, Brother Dao headed outside.

Despite encountering resistance, Brother Dao was determined.

Upon leaving the Water Element Sect, I saw an old acquaintance, the vice president of the Four Seas Guild and others.

This was also the agreed contact point.

"Brother Dao, something serious has happened," upon seeing Brother Dao, the vice president rushed over to say.

A flurry of explanations.

It turned out that there were a lot of Immortal Masters investigating near Little Knife Island, and fighting them wasn’t very effective; instead, there were more and more of them.

Recently, there are even quite a few mid-stage cultivators, and even advanced Qi Cultivation has appeared.

To mobilize advanced Qi Cultivation, there’s no doubt that the Spirit Vein has been exposed.

Otherwise, why would an advanced Qi Cultivation cultivator be bored enough to tour Little Knife Island?

With the Earth God overseeing, safety is not an issue, but unless absolutely necessary, the Earth God can’t make a move; otherwise, the local high-levels would be alerted.

The Northern Witch, South Worm, and Western Wilderness are areas not under the control of the Five Elements Sword Sect; these natives definitely don’t want a fourth place to appear.

For instance, several birthplaces of East Martial are controlled by the natives, but they still allow players to be born there for some reason.

The vice president’s notification worried that if the spirit vein is exposed, and with Brother Dao in the Water Element Sect, it could be directly taken away, leading to a big conflict.

Players entering a Cultivation Sect and becoming inner sect disciples—that’s an identity they can’t afford to give up.

Not to mention the hostility that could arise with a Cultivation Sect for it.

The Water Element Sect’s subordinate forces have only five Spirit Veins, each one belonging to a powerful cultivation clan with deep foundations.

Now, with their investment in Brother Dao, they naturally don’t want setbacks here.

Once exposed, someone like Brother Dao without any roots could never occupy the Spirit Vein; it would definitely invite prying eyes.

"Don’t worry, it’s fine; a First Realm Lower Grade Spirit Vein is something I still have the qualification to occupy." Brother Dao chuckled.

Since obtaining some memory fragments from that high-level Qi Cultivation cultivator, I knew my outstanding performance would surely attract attention in the Water Element Sect; they wouldn’t pry in the short term, as long as I keep progressing rapidly.

Even so, Brother Dao planned to return.

Since the news spread, with so many cultivators prying, how could I give up?

It’s not just about experience; I’m also very interested in those cultivators’ bodies.

Swapping bodies for my subordinates is quite enticing.

Aside from my Golden Bell Shield, even if only a small cultivator takes action, it’s almost impossible without mobilizing the most powerful Earth God to capture alive.

So Brother Dao gave a few instructions, then stepped on a flying sword and headed into the distance; he was returning.

The journey was still very smooth; reaching the seaside, without pausing, he headed towards the direction of the island.

The slight fluctuations of spiritual qi below made Brother Dao pause and fly down.

It seems, there is a spiritual object being born underwater here?

The mysteries of the world are endless; some places with thin spiritual qi suddenly gather spiritual qi, giving birth to spiritual objects, creating lucky individuals.

Such stories are widely circulated in this world.

Brother Dao, intrigued, heard these stories as he added a layer of yellow light shield over himself with a spirit talisman.

Despite this, he still held one spirit talisman in his hand, cautiously approaching below.

Suddenly, the water’s surface exploded, revealing thirteen figures, all Immortal Masters, mostly first-layer Qi Cultivation, but the leader was in the middle stage.

Suddenly, colorful lights of fourteen spirit talismans came at supersonic speed.

They had joyful smiles on their faces.

An inner sect disciple? So what.

Middle-stage Qi Cultivation? So what.

Nobody could withstand a surprise attack from fourteen spirit talismans.

The target was doomed.

Ah!

Brother Dao cried out in surprise, instantly activating two spirit talismans in his hand.

Two beams of light shot out.

"Is that all!" This was within the expectations of the thirteen attackers.

Although certain of victory, each of them still held an additional spirit talisman, ready to strike again.

The spirit talismans sent by Brother Dao collided with two, perishing together.

Then twelve attacks landed nearby.

They immediately struck the protective light shield of the spirit talisman.

"Great technique, such a powerful defensive magical artifact." The enemy’s voice was filled with disdain and greed.

We hit the jackpot.

To withstand the attack of ten spirit talismans, it must be a top-grade among junior-level artifacts.

But they were suddenly dumbstruck when the spells of the two spirit talismans hit, yet the body-protecting light shield quickly dimmed without shattering.

"Impossible?"

"Fools, these are middle-grade spirit talismans, their spiritual roots are too poor, no background or backing."

Cultivation sects can’t accept individual rogue cultivators, even if they successfully awaken their spirit, they would only reach the basic Qi Cultivation level in their lifetime.

The ones who realized this and awaken spiritually, the ones named Immortal Masters, were still blinded by the drunken stupor of the world.

If one can withstand a second attack, they can do it; I’ll cut myself in front of you." The leading mid-stage Qi Cultivation cultivator laughed maniacally, no longer concealing his jealousy in his eyes.

You may have had your moment of glory on the platform, but in no time, you will lose your life.

In the eyes of this middle-stage cultivator, it’s impossible to withstand the blow.
