Chapter 38: Temptation from the Depths
Chapter Thirty-Eight: Temptation in the Depths
Time flies, the four seasons alternate, and three years have passed.
Zhou Yunfeng's task of garrisoning the Broken Gold Mountain Yuan Stone Mine was a three-year period, and half a year after Zhou Yunfeng arrived, Lin Xueyao left the Broken Gold Mountain Yuan Stone Mine because of the expiration of the three-year period.
And in the second year, Xiang Feiwu also completed the three-year period, and before she left, her cultivation had also broken through to the late stage of Naxu.
After Xiang Feiwu left, another core disciple in the sect named He Kai in the middle stage of Naxu received the task of stationing in the Yuan Stone Mine of Broken Gold Mountain and came to Broken Gold Mountain, and joined Zhou Yunfeng's group.
And a year ago, Zhou Yunfeng's three-year mission period also expired, although Zhou Yunfeng left the Yuanshi Mine, but did not return to the sect immediately, but came to the Broken Gold Canyon.
In the three years of the mission, Zhou Yunfeng stayed in the Yuan Stone Mine for half a year, and cultivated in the Broken Gold Canyon for half a year, even in those three years, Zhou Yunfeng also cultivated in the Broken Gold Canyon for a full year and a half.
In the past year and a half, Zhou Yunfeng has also made great achievements in the refining of the body, although he has not yet reached the middle stage of Guiyuan, but he has also reached the peak of the early stage of Guiyuan.
Although the improvement of Yuan Qi cultivation has been a little slower, it has also reached the peak of the middle stage of the Void, from Zhou Yunfeng's breakthrough to the early stage of the Void to the peak of the middle stage of the Void, it is only a little more than two years, and this kind of cultivation speed, even if it is placed in the history of the Extreme Battle Hall, it can definitely rank in the top three.
After the completion of the garrison task, Zhou Yunfeng entered the Broken Gold Canyon again, and also entered a deeper place, Zhou Yunfeng's purpose is very simple, that is, to improve the physical body cultivation to the middle stage of Guiyuan in the canyon, and to break through the Yuan Qi cultivation to the late stage of Naxu.
Because of the fact that he had been cultivating in the Broken Gold Canyon for a long time, the tempering speed of Zhou Yunfeng's body by the Gangfeng in the canyon had become slower and slower.
Four months ago, Zhou Yunfeng finally got his wish to raise his Yuan Qi cultivation to the late stage of Na Xu, but his physical cultivation was slow to break through to the middle stage of Gui Yuan.
"Squeak!"
The Gangfeng that would not blow the power of the broken stone and gold continued to impact Zhou Yunfeng's body, and there was even a low sound of muscle friction, but in the Gangfeng's fierce Broken Gold Canyon, no one noticed this, including Zhou Yunfeng.
"Squeak!"
"Click!"
Suddenly, the sound of muscle friction became more and more urgent, and the sound became louder and louder, and the bones in Zhou Yunfeng's body seemed to be unwilling to be lonely to join in, and the "click" sound of friction between bones was still extremely clear, as if the bones were brittle.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, Zhou Yunfeng's body couldn't help but shook, and the meridians on his body instantly highlighted the surface of his body, just like countless dragons, it looked terrifying!
And when these dragon-like meridians were highlighted, Zhou Yunfeng's body suddenly emitted a circle of pale golden light, making Zhou Yunfeng look extremely solemn.
The dragon-like meridians seemed to flow, shuttling around Zhou Yunfeng's body, and with the shuttle of these dragons, Zhou Yunfeng's heart was beating faster and faster.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Knock knock, knock!"
Such a terrifying scene lasted for more than ten minutes, and those shuttling dragons slowly became smaller, and after the worst, they all disappeared under the skin, and Zhou Yunfeng's body completely returned to normal.
"Whew!"
Half an hour after his body returned to normal, Zhou Yunfeng's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and two rays of light like substance suddenly shot out, making the space in front of him shock.
"The body in the middle of the Guiyuan period has finally been reached!" Zhou Yunfeng said with an excited face.
For this breakthrough, Zhou Yunfeng spent a whole year of penance in the Broken Gold Canyon, and a year of penance finally paid off today, and his long-awaited mid-Guiyuan mid-stage body was finally reached.
"It's been four years! It's been four years since I came to the Shattered Gold Mountain, and the time I've been cultivating in the Broken Gold Canyon has been two and a half years in total, and with my current cultivation, even if my physical body breaks through again, the distance I can continue to penetrate is extremely limited. Zhou Yunfeng sighed.
"And I've been cultivating in the canyon for more than two years, and my body has already developed immunity to Gangfeng, even if I go deeper for a distance, the refining effect on my body will not be great, it seems that it's time to leave the Broken Gold Canyon!" Zhou Yunfeng thought to himself.
"It's just that in this broken gold canyon, my harvest is not only the improvement of physical cultivation, I have unexpectedly comprehended half of the Dao in the past six months, which will undoubtedly reduce the difficulty of breaking through to the Returning Yuan Period by half in the future, this is really an unexpected joy!" Thinking of this, Zhou Yunfeng's face couldn't help but show excitement.
Immediately, Zhou Yunfeng stood up, but Zhou Yunfeng did not leave immediately, but set his eyes on the depths of the canyon, his eyes full of curiosity and expectation.
"There is such a canyon here for no reason, there must be some secret hidden underneath, this time there is no hope, and the next time I go to the Broken Gold Mountain, I must enter this Broken Gold Canyon again to explore!" Zhou Yunfeng said in a deep voice.
Although Zhou Yunfeng has not been weak in physical attainments, it is only compared to martial artists with the same cultivation, if he is much worse than those strong people in the Dao Convergence Period.
And the depths of the Broken Gold Canyon are a place where even the powerhouses of the Combination Dao dare not go deep easily, and Zhou Yunfeng's cultivation at this time wants to break into the depths of the canyon, which is undoubtedly looking for death.
Although Zhou Yunfeng is very powerful, he also hopes to improve his strength quickly, and he is also full of curiosity about the depths of the canyon, but Zhou Yunfeng will definitely not joke with his life.
After saying that, Zhou Yunfeng took a deep look at the depths of the canyon, then turned around and flew out of the canyon, leaving only a faint afterimage in place.
"Huh!"
As soon as he flew out of the plane for less than a thousand meters, Zhou Yunfeng suddenly stopped, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
"There are actually other people in this canyon, could it be the junior brother who has just arrived at the Broken Gold Mountain and is stationed in the mine?" Zhou Yunfeng said in a deep voice.
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Yunfeng's face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, "No, this person's cultivation should have reached the Returning Yuan Period, but he is not Elder Lu, could it be that other elders in the sect have come here to cultivate, or is it a Returning Yuan powerhouse from other sects?"
Although the Yuan Stone Mine of the Broken Gold Mountain is controlled by the Extreme Battle Hall, the Broken Gold Canyon is not forbidden for outsiders to enter, after all, it is a natural existence and does not belong to the private property of the Extreme War Hall, and the Extreme War Hall will not have another canyon that has little effect and other strong people and sects have grudges.
Therefore, although the Broken Gold Mountain is considered the territory of the Extreme Battle Hall, there are also other powerful martial artists who come to cultivate in the Broken Gold Canyon from time to time, although Zhou Yunfeng has not encountered it in the past four years, but he knows that this does not mean that no one has come to the Broken Gold Canyon.
Now Zhou Yunfeng was about to leave the Broken Gold Canyon, but he unexpectedly found that there were other people cultivating here, and the other party was still a Returning Yuan powerhouse.
If it was the first case, Zhou Yunfeng didn't have to worry, but if it was the second case, then Zhou Yunfeng would have to deal with it carefully.
It is a fact that in the surrounding forces, the strength of the Extreme War Hall is extremely strong, but there are also many enemies in the Extreme War Hall, and if the other party sees that he is just accepting the false cultivation, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have ill intentions towards him.
When Zhou Yunfeng found the other party, the other party obviously also discovered Zhou Yunfeng, and when Zhou Yunfeng stopped, the other party was quickly leaning towards Zhou Yunfeng.
Feeling that the other party was getting closer, Zhou Yunfeng's eyes couldn't help revealing a solemn look, and the chaotic qi and vitality in his body also began to turn around at the same time, and he began to be silently vigilant.
The other party didn't let Zhou Yunfeng wait for a long time, and after just a few breaths, a white figure suddenly appeared in Zhou Yunfeng's field of vision, and stopped three feet away in front of Zhou Yunfeng.
The person who came was an old man in a white robe, with a gloomy face, the old man looked at Zhou Yunfeng carefully, and when his eyes moved to Zhou Yunfeng's waist, his eyes suddenly froze, and a cold light flashed, because he saw the battle card representing the identity of the disciple in the Extreme War Hall there.
"Are you a disciple of the Extreme Battle Hall?" the old man said suddenly.
"That's right, I'm a disciple of the Extreme Battle Hall!" Zhou Yunfeng said without humility or arrogance.
It stands to reason that the other party is a strong man in the Guiyuan period, and Zhou Yunfeng should treat him politely, but the change in the old man's eyes Zhou Yunfeng can see it clearly, although he doesn't know which power the white-robed old man is from, but Zhou Yunfeng can see from his tone and expression that this person should have an enmity with the Extreme Battle Hall.
"Na Xuan Period, you should be the core disciple of the Extreme Battle Hall, you can cultivate here, it seems that you have a good refining body**, but you mistakenly voted for the Extreme Battle Hall, because the people of the Extreme Battle Hall deserve to die!"
"Sure enough, there is an enmity, and the enmity is not small!" Zhou Yunfeng said secretly in his heart.
"Who are you? You actually dare to go against my Extreme Battle Hall, you are really looking for death!" Zhou Yunfeng shouted angrily.
"What kind of thing is the Extreme Battle Hall, a sect that has only established a hundred thousand years of strength, how can I, the Blue Water Gate, be afraid of it?" the old man sneered.
"As for who the old man is, you are not qualified to know the Tao, but for the sake of your death, it doesn't hurt the old man to tell you!" the white-robed old man continued.
"Old man Hao Yun is the elder of the Blue Water Gate!" the white-robed old man sneered.
"Elder of the Blue Water Gate, why did you appear here?" Zhou Yunfeng's expression was shocked, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice.
Although it was not strange for other powerful martial artists to appear in the Shattered Gold Canyon, Zhou Yunfeng faintly felt that it was not easy for this person named Hao Yun to appear here at this time.
"The courage is good! The vigilance is also quite high! But a dying person doesn't need to know so much!" Seeing that Zhou Yunfeng was a little surprised, but there was no fear in his expression, Hao Yun's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of appreciation, and when the color of appreciation appeared, the killing intent in his eyes became even stronger.
Although Hao Yun didn't tell Zhou Yunfeng anything, his words admitted in disguise that his appearance here was not accidental, but purposeful.
"Broken Gold Canyon, Broken Gold Mountain, Broken Gold Mountain Yuanshi Ore Vein!" Thinking of this, Zhou Yunfeng's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face became ugly.
"You're here for the Broken Gold Mountain Yuan Stone Mine!" Zhou Yunfeng stared at Hao Yun with a pair of eyes, and suddenly shouted.
