Retracting his thoughts, Tianfang took Yu Zhiqiao back to the Lingmen Island Spirit Stone Mine from the teleportation array in the main square.

This time, Yu Zhiqiao was also brought over, there were too few people over there, and Wei Ruoyun and Zhao Yizhen had been busy.

After Tianfang came back, he learned that there were still demon cultivators snooping around from time to time, although the lack of action also aroused the vigilance of Wei Ruoyun and Zhao Yizhen.

It seems that before the retreat breaks through the merger, it is necessary to deal with the harassment of the surrounding demon cultivators, Zhao Yizhen and Yu Zhiqiao still have ten years to improve their cultivation, Wei Ruoyun has learned the Blood Soul Dafa and can use demon cultivation to improve her cultivation, she has always been at the second level of refining.

Tianfang chose a suitable place outside the eighth-order ecstasy array and arranged the seventh-order fireworks array and the seventh-order trapped killing array, and in two years, he booby-trapped fifteen eighth-order demon beasts, Wei Ruoyun used the blood soul Dafa to improve his cultivation to the seventh layer of refining void, which can be described as a straight rise, and entering the late stage of refining void so quickly made Wei Ruoyun full of happiness.

Next, there were fewer demon cultivators to snoop, and Wei Ruoyun also needed to consolidate for ten years before he could use the Blood Soul Dafa again.

Zhu Yu of the sect came to report, the Lingdong Realm Immortal Art Competition held was extremely successful, more than 10 million monks present, harvested more than one billion spirit stones, it can be said that it is a big profit, the monks of the sect are happy and convinced of the wisdom of the head of the Tianfang, and the thick rhino gate is even more famous in the Lingdong realm.

At present, everyone is looking forward to the Lingdong Exchange Conference in four years, and all the monks of the sect have already moved.

Ninety percent of the teleportation array presided over by Liu Huan has been built, and the various sects and Xiuzhen families in the Lingdong Realm have scheduled to build their own teleportation arrays, and at present, the sect array mages can be busy until fifty years later, and of course, a large number of spirit stones will continue to flow into the Thick Rhino Gate.

After arranging everything, the heavens were put into retreat in the Lingshi Cave Mansion on Lingmen Island, preparing to break through the merger period.

The breakthrough merger period is mainly to dissolve the Yuan Shen into the physical body, the strength and mana of the body will increase exponentially, and if you can further use the laws of heaven and earth, Shou Yuan will be raised to nine thousand years old.

Generally, it takes 30 years of retreat, depending on the monk's physical function, spiritual strength, and comprehension, but in fact, the time required for the true fusion of spirit and body is only eight years.

After less than a year of retreat, the primordial spirit and the physical body began to merge with each other, which was a process of infiltration and fusion, and finally the spirit and body became one, and the primordial spirit could be condensed at any time or often dissolved in the physical body.

Occasionally, there will be great pain in this process, but fortunately, Tianfang is a glass body, which already has enough strength and toughness, not to mention the process of experiencing the five elements spirit beads entering the body to generate five sources, this pain is not a matter at all.

Cultivation has no years, let the wind outside rise and fall, spring goes to autumn, time passes, and vicissitudes of life.

Four years after the retreat, the Lingdong Trade Conference was in full swing, with more than 20 million monks present, and the three-month session was hot, and the Houxi Gate won more applause and status in addition to earning a lot of entrance fees and transaction fees.

However, earning four billion lower grade spirit stones at a time made some people greedy, and if they want to have the right to speak in the cultivation realm, they must have strength, and if they want to occupy more resources in the Lingdong realm, of course, they must have the ability to compete with the thick rhino sect.

Although the Thick Rhino Sect is a dominant force in the Lingdong Realm, the Thick Rhino Sect pays attention to proportions and never bullies the weak, which makes most sects and families support, and they can develop with peace of mind and live a comfortable life.

But the cruelty of the cultivation realm lies in the constant fighting and killing, there will always be a time when the back waves slap the front waves on the beach, and at this moment, the forces that dare to challenge the Houxi Gate and want to stand in the Lingdong realm have surfaced.

Xinjiazhai is located in the northeast of the Lingdong boundary, which originally belonged to the upper middle scale, and was in the second echelon, ranking behind Houximen, Wanglingmen, and Qianzhimen.

Due to the fact that the two combined ancestors of the Xin family traveled to the realm of Lingzhong three hundred years ago and obtained great creation, Xin Wenliang's cultivation was promoted to the peak of the ninth layer of the merger, and he also bought a ninth-order flying sword spirit weapon, which can be said to have greatly increased his strength, although he has no status in the spirit, but he is the leader when he returns to Lingdong.

Xin Wenkai also mixed well, under the guidance of his brother Xin Wenliang, he entered the eighth layer of the merger, and the two eighth-order spiritual weapons are also rare in Lingdong, perhaps it is the green smoke on the ancestral tomb of the Xin family, Xin Wenqiang, who stayed in the family, also entered the sixth layer of the merge, and Xin Wenfang also entered the third layer of the merger, which suddenly brought the Xin family village to the surface.

When Xin Wenliang and Xin Wenkai returned to their roots, it was the time when the Thick Rhino Gate was shining, how could they not make the Xin family's eyes red, not to mention that at this moment, in addition to the four combined ancestors, there were more than eighty Void Cultivation Cultivators and 30,000 Transformation Cultivators.

The competition between forces is often a life-and-death competition between high-ranking monks, the winner is the king, the loser is the villain, and the low-level monks are all serving the high-level monks, and they can't even control their own lives.

In fact, looking at the strength of a force, as long as you look at the strength and cultivation of high-level monks, it will be clear at a glance, compared to Du Yu in the early stage of the ninth layer of the merge of the thick rhino gate, Han Hong in the early stage of the eighth layer of the merge, Xie Yan in the early stage of the fourth layer of the merge, and Han Bai in the early stage of the first layer of the merger, Xinjiazhai undoubtedly has an absolute advantage.

That's not all, Xin Jiazhai took advantage of the opportunity of the return of the two returned ancestors to win over many sects and Xiuzhen families, and this time it was the turn of the small and medium-sized sects and families to choose sides.

After the comparison of the strength of Houximen and Xinjiazhai, it is clear at a glance that most of the Xinjiazhai is also inevitable, and the previous Qianzhimen led the combined army and the Houximen battle has passed over time, and the current strength of Xinjiazhai is even stronger.

Even the Su family of Su Shashan, which has a deep relationship with the Houxi Sect, is in a dilemma, wavering, and is in contradiction at the moment.

Above the main hall of the Su family, Su Yuan and the eight Void Refining Cultivators frowned, did not speak, and fell silent as death.

"Since the head of the Thick Rhino Gate has been in charge of the sect, it has indeed shined, and the spirit stones have made a lot of money, and the grand occasion is unprecedented!" Su Zai broke the silence.

"In any case, the cultivation realm is respected by strength, and it is difficult to say whose resources belong in the end, and it is difficult to make a conclusion now!" Su Peng sighed.

"Since the contrast of strength is so obvious, why don't you agree to Xinjiazhai?" Su Huo, who was refining the fourth layer, couldn't help it.

Silence again, a long silence.

"It's really a bit dangerous to put the treasure on the body of the Void Refining Cultivator Tianfang, although it seems that his future is great, but if he can't even guarantee his safety, what kind of future can he talk about!" Su Peng hit the nail on the head and said the most practical question.

The Su family monks discussed it in a few words, and of course most of the monks still preferred to cooperate with Xinjiazhai.

"Let's stay neutral!" In the end, Ancestor Su Yuan made a decision with difficulty, and there was no way to find the golden mean.

Walking on the path of cultivation, monks must often choose, and families and sects must also choose from time to time, and it does not affect one or two people, but the fate of a large group of people.

One day after ten years of retreat, the bones around Tianfang's body exploded, and his body emitted a clear blue light, and the surrounding spiritual energy was sucked into his body like a whirlwind, which lasted for three days before calming down, Tianfang opened his eyes, and a spiritual pressure hit Lingmen Island, and the monks on the island obviously felt a strong pressure.

Wei Ruoyun and Zhao Yizhen wondered for a while, how could there be such a big movement after only ten years of retreat, so they hurriedly checked around, and only then relieved that nothing else had happened.

After only ten years of retreat, Tianfang successfully broke through the realm of the merger period and became a merge power, the storage of spiritual power in the body increased tenfold, the purity of the essence increased by two times, the strength was unprecedentedly high, and the strength of the divine soul and divine consciousness reached the level of the middle stage of the merger.

After entering the spirit world for ninety years, he broke through the merger period, which is a speed that others can't believe, not that it's hard to believe when he sees it with his own eyes, this is also equivalent to entering the middle and third grade realm of the nine grades of the gods.

In order to completely stabilize his cultivation, Tianfang had to continue his retreat for three months before deciding on the next step.

At this moment, there is a powerful cold current shrouded in the Houxi Gate, and Zhu Yu has already received a letter of challenge from Xinjiazhai, agreeing that five years later, the high-level monks of the Houxi Gate will win or lose in the six formations of the Houxi Gate, and reformulate the new order of Lingdong.

The challenge book is very sharp, so that the thick rhino sect can't help but face it, Zhu Yu understood at a glance, that is, each sent six high-level monks to compete one-on-one, and the side that won four games will determine the right to speak in the Lingdong realm.

In other words, if the Thick Rhino Gate loses, it will have to give up most of its interests, including the interests of the teleportation array, and the right to hold the trade fair and the Immortal Art Competition.
