My Legend Still Exists in the Cultivation World

Chapter 110.1: Guard Duty

Jing-jing, youre finally out!

As soon as Jing Yue left the cave, blue phoenix flew into his arms and wriggled around, Ji-ji has waited for you 55,884 autumns! Ji-ji is getting old!

Jing Yue,

After 50 years, there was no sign of blue phoenix aging, regardless of physique or wisdom in any aspect.

Ji-ji, hows your cultivation in the past 50 years?

Blue phoenixs eyes darted around, looking guilty at first glance. Ji-ji has learned leaf blade!

Didn't you learn it long ago?

Blue phoenix choked, It's even more powerful now!

Jing Yue raised his brow. Let me guess, Ji-ji has learned the art of healing too, right?

Blue phoenix rubbed its head on Jing Yues chest. Jing-jing is the smartest.

Jing Yue, Hehe

He should have known not to have any expectations.

He stroked blue phoenixs head. Ji-ji, when are you going to grow up?

Blue phoenix said anxiously, Jing-jing, Ive really grown more powerful and Ive been cultivating properly. I can feel the spiritual energy in my body increasing, but I just don't know why I haven't learned any new spells.

The more blue phoenix said, the more aggrieved it became until tears were about to fall.

Jing Yue thought about it. As divine beasts had a long lifespan, cultivation was inherently slow. 50 years were just the blink of an eye in the long life of a divine beast. In fact, as a disabled phoenix such as Ji-ji to learn the leaf blade and healing art in less than 100 years, it was already considered a surprise. Some things just could not be forced.

He was about to comfort the blue phoenix when Xiao Hei appeared not far away.

Congratulations to Shizun for coming out of seclusion.

At this time, Xiao Hei had grown into a young man, giving off an illusion that heres an honest man, everyone is welcomed to bully him. He was getting more similar to Yi Nian while the gloomy air from his youth was no longer in sight.

Jing Yue scanned Xiao Hei with his divine consciousness and said with a smile, Not bad, almost the upper-level of Foundation Establishment stage.

Xiao Hei said with some embarrassment, I have far to go compared with Shizun.

Dont belittle yourself. I didn't give you much guidance on the Chaos Technique. You figured it out on your own. To reach upper-level of Foundation Establishment stage so quickly shows that you have good comprehension. Jing Yue nodded. Of course, my disciple should be this good.

Yes! Xiao Hei replied loudly, which overlapped with the hapless child outside the library back then. He felt that his master's cultivation had improved again, so he asked, Did Shizuns cultivation go well?

Jing Yue, Well, Ive stabilized my realm. Now, I'm ready to look for my chance encounter to attempt absolute level of Golden Core stage.

Xiao Hei's eyes widened. It turned out that Shizun was already upper-level Golden Core? So fast! He asked curiously, When did Shizun break through?

Jing Yue, 20 years ago? I dont remember.

Xiao Hei, So scary!

At this time, Zheng Bai also rushed over with two attendant disciples. They greeted Jing Yue first.

Zheng Bai, Is Laozu out of seclusion because of the rotational guard duty on Yao Detention Mountain one month later?

Jing Yue, Thats right.

During the Yao Catalyst 8,000 years ago, the Yao Saint tore the barrier and invaded the human race. Later, the Yao race was sealed in Yao Detention Mountain and powerful beings of the human race also repaired the barrier. However, the humans dared not trust the barrier completely and finally decided that the three major sects and one temple would jointly guard the four directions of the Yao Detention Mountain, and the rotation would take place every 30 years.

However, among the three sects was the Lurking Ghost Sect of demonic Dao. Although the Yao race was the common enemy of the human race, the righteous Dao was still not at ease with Lurking Ghost Sect. Therefore, another force was formed by the righteous Dao to guard the same direction as Lurking Ghost Sect, which also played a monitoring role.

The righteous Dao was strong and Lurking Ghost Sect had no choice.

As one of the three major sects, Frostcloud Sect had established an internal rule back then that all Foundation Establishment and Golden Core disciples must participate in guard duty once. In other words, barring any accidents, all Foundation Establishment and Golden Core disciples must go to Yao Detention Mountain at least once.

Jing Yue didnt make it the previous round, and the last round coincided with the critical period for him to break through the upper-level golden core, so it had been delayed until now.

Zheng Bai immediately said with joy, I can be with Laozu again.

Jing Yue also laughed. Guarding the Yao Detention Mountain is very dangerous.

After the Yao race was sealed that year, in order to escape the pursuit of human cultivators, many surviving great Yao sacrificed themselves, offering their flesh to manifest a Misty Forest to confuse the human race. In the middle of the Misty Forest, they also rebuilt the Yao city to rest and recuperate.

Thus, Misty Forest mostly overlapped with Yao Detention Mountain, and most monsters in the forest ran rampant. Most of them were Yao with weak bloodlines or little monsters, but the strength was still not to be underestimated.

Occasionally, great Yao could be found in Misty Forest, because there had been rumors in the Yao world that several half-saints of the Yao race from back then had left legacies hidden in Misty Forest.

Although the human race was said to be guarding, it was impossible to do so without making a move. Since they wanted to fight for chance encounters with the Yao race, they wouldnt allow the Yao race to grow stronger.

Therefore, every rotational guard duty was in fact to kill monsters on Yao Detention Mountain. How could there be no casualties in that case?

Zheng Bai, Where on the path of cultivation is not dangerous? Oh no, staying in the Haotian Realm is not dangerous, hehe.

Jing Yue, Oh? Have you been there? How is it?

Zheng Bai, Everythings fine, but the disciples of Mini Frostcloud Sect miss you very much.

Jing Yue smiled, thinking that he should go back and have a look when he was free.

After that, people came to Whitefog Mountain to congratulate him one after another, except for a few mighty beings who were still in seclusion or traveling.

In the duration, Wei Tianli brought a message. Zushi, Ruyi Merchant has been looking for you, but its not convenient for me to disclose your seclusion to outsiders, so

Ruyi Merchant? Is it Jin Baozhu? Jing Yue thought for a moment. Very well, I spent a bomb on upgrading mini Canglan sword the last time, so Im a little short of money. Since theres still a month before going to Yao Detention Mountain, Ill refine more fetal sculpting talismans for her.

Wei Tianli, If you need money, I can

Jing Yue raised his hand to stop him. I heard that most of your money has gone to pay respects to Yi Ye, right?

Wei Tianli, Huh?

Jing Yue, Yi Ye bought this and that for Xiao Hei and emptied his private stash. Later, you paid for everything, right?

The point was that Xiao Hei was just a Foundation Establishment and couldnt use anything, so he was apprehensive and dared not accept. Every time Yi Ye was rejected, he vowed that he would never give anything to Xiao Hei again, but next time he would still buy and buy. The only way to stop him was to chop off his hands or send him into seclusion.

Wei Tianli said weakly, This disciple doesnt pay all the time. Sometimes, Liu Yun and Liu Feng-laozu, as well as several elders have done so too

Jing Yue, Once he comes out of seclusion, tell him to repay as much as he has taken. If he dares to exploit the disciples of the sect again, be careful that Ill return and take care of him!

Yes! Wei Tianlis spirits lifted and answered vigorously. After a pause, he said, There is one more thing

Hmm?

Wei Tianli, Qin-zhenjun came to Frore City twice after coming out of seclusion but didnt come up to Frostcloud Sect. I wonder why.

Jing Yue, Ignore him.

Since he was going to Yao Detention Mountain, Jing Yue had to make some preparations and did not talk much with Wei Tianli.

He spent more than a month refining many talismans, some of which were fetus sculpting talismans. He had sent a message for Jin Baozhu to collect them herself, which also counted as opening the door of Frostcloud Sect to Ruyi Merchant. Others were attacking talismans in preparation for his upcoming trip to Yao Detention Mountain.

As such, one month later, led by Wu Chen-zhenjun, who had just entered the Amethyst Abode stage and was promoted to the position of elder, the party from Frostcloud Sect set off for Schism Ocean.

When they crossed Schism Ocean and arrived at Yao Detention Mountain, they heard that the Three Realm Temple, Lurking Ghost Sect, and other righteous sects had arrived. Only Sword Inscription Sect was missing.

Frostcloud Sect guarded the north side. Wu Chen-zhenjun immediately found the previous leader, Elder Ling Tian to hand over, while the other disciples stayed in the stone houses built at the foot of the mountain.

Jing Yue was about to take a rest when he heard someone knocking on the door.

When he opened the door, he saw that it was Gu Xia.

Gu Xia was once exiled here, but exile was not considered a rotation. Thirty years ago, he came to Yao Detention Mountain with the team again.

Laozu! Gu Xias face was full of joy. He had not seen Jing Yue for many years.

Oh, its Gu Xia. Come in and have a seat. Jing Yue stepped aside and invited him inside.

The two exchanged pleasantries before Jing Yue asked, Youre about to form a core, right?

Gu Xia was originally at the same level as Zheng Bai, but Zheng Bai was still upper-level Foundation Establishment now, so it could be seen how much the Yao Detention Mountain could develop people. In any place, danger always coexisted with opportunity.

Not bad, you didn't waste this opportunity.

Gu Xia smiled and said, I came with a different state of mind compared to the last time, and Ive accumulated some experience, so Ive grown quite a bit. On the contrary, I havent seen Laozu in decades, and I can no longer distinguish your cultivation level.

Jing Yue smiled and asked him about the current situation of Yao Detention Mountain.

Gu Xia became serious, For some reason, I feel that there are obviously more monsters in the mountains this time, and they are also more active.

Jing Yue frowned. He thought of the abnormal movement of the demonic Dao and asked, What about Lurking Ghost Sect?

Gu Xia, I didnt see anything unusual about Lurking Ghost Sect. Moreover, although Lurking Ghost Sect belongs to the demonic way, they also killed the Yao Saint together with us back then. They cant be involved with the Yao race, can they?

Jing Yue sighed. I hope so. Lets take things as they come along. Dont think too much about it, just be more vigilant.

The two talked for a while longer. Jing Yue said, Since were here, you can relax completely. Cultivate well when you return to Frostcloud Sect. The next time I see you, I hope youve already formed a core.

Gu Xia, I dont intend to leave.

Jing Yue, Hmm?

Gu Xia, Im here to speak to Laozu about this. I want to participate in another round of guarding duties. I wonder if its allowed.

Jing Yue was startled. Of course.

At that moment, a female voice rang from outside. Gu Xia-shixiong, are you there?
