Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

Qin Henian confidently believed that no one would dare ambush the dignified Fake Pill True Man, and was unwilling to change his return route. As a result, Li Ji'an had no choice but to let Gugu prematurely break the opponent's ambush tactics.

The two Foundation Establishment Late Stage Demon Cultivators dared to ambush their group of four, which in Li Ji'an's view, they must have extraordinary tactics and trump cards.

If they truly charged into the opponent's ambush array, according to Qin Henian's reckless nature, the chance of failure was quite high.

Now, breaking the array in advance not only caught the opponent off guard but also put Qin Henian on alert, greatly reducing the danger.

"Vile creature!" At the moment the array shattered, Gugu's demon power was exposed.

After all, the opponent's array was formidable; with Li Ji'an's entry-level Array Master's perspective, he couldn't discern the construction of the array and had to let Gugu face it head-on with full force.

In an instant, Gugu was detected by the two.

"In this Spiritual Qi scarce grand river there's actually a Second Tier Demon Frog hidden! This Saintess will peel your skin and break your muscles to refine your Essence Blood!" Xue Ling'Er angrily glared at the hastily fleeing Gugu, embedding a subtle Blood Spirit Mark into Gugu's Essence Blood.

"An accidental intrusion? Or intentional?" Du Haizang's mind paused, feeling a sense of foreboding.

If it was a wild Frog Demon, it wouldn't attack their setup without reason; normally, sensing their presence, it should have stayed far away.

If it was someone else's Spirit Pet, then the thought was terrifying.

It could accurately find the array and break it completely; the mastermind behind it was obvious. Most crucially, they only sensed the Demon Frog's presence the moment the array was broken. When did it appear? Could it have been lurking nearby all along?

"Don't lose formation; we might have already been exposed. Stay vigilant!" After Du Haizang spoke, he immediately flew up to block the front of Qin Henian's Flying Boat.

Xue Ling'Er withdrew her gaze from Gugu and followed up.

"Hmm?" Qin Henian squinted, somewhat surprised as he stared at the two Foundation Establishment juniors ahead.

At the same time, the momentum of his entire Fake Pill cultivation erupted, intending the opponents to clearly observe.

"Hmph! A mere Fake Pill is beneath my notice." Du Haizang sneered lightly.

Qin Henian's eyes widened, glancing at the three behind him and then at the opposite party.

Two Foundation Establishment Late Stage juniors dared intercept him, the dignified Fake Pill True Man, along with three other Foundation Establishment companions.

Has the Celestial Origin Province's Tribulation Cultivators gone mad?

"Have they defied the Celestial Spirit?" In the next moment, Qin Henian made a domineering move.

A True Man cannot be insulted!

Instantly, a giant hand phantom descended upon the two.

The giant hand carried the Fake Pill True Man's overwhelming fury, along with disdain for the Foundation Establishment juniors.

"A mere Fake Pill dares claim to be True Man?" Facing the overwhelming pressure capable of shattering a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Body-Protecting Dharma Shield, Du Haizang laughed coldly and extended his hand.

In his hand appeared a small coffin.

The coffin was silvery-grey with a hint of dull golden glow.

"Corpse Puppet Sect's Corpse Nurturing Coffin?" Qin Henian's eyes narrowed.

At this moment, Du Haizang's hand gently opened the coffin lid, revealing a sudden silver radiance.

Immediately, the silver light flashed, and a humanoid figure burst forth, quickly growing to human size, directly defying the descending earthen yellow giant hand.

"Boom!"

At the moment the massive sound spread, the giant hand disappeared into dust.

"Thump, thump, thump~" Qin Henian on the Flying Boat was forced back three steps by the countering force.

"Silver Corpse of the Corpse Puppet Sect? No, it's undergone a Golden Transformation, a Quasi-Gold Corpse!" Staring hard at the silver corpse that shattered his giant hand, Qin Henian's face turned grim.

The Corpse Puppet Sect specializes in refining corpses to create Corpse Puppets; Iron Corpses have the power of Middle Stage Qi Cultivation, Copper Corpses are already comparable to Foundation Establishment, Silver Corpses are nearly invincible against ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and once refined into Gold Corpses, even normal Core Formation True Men cannot prevail without Thunder Power specifically designed to counter Gold Corpses.

It's said that over three thousand years ago, when the Corpse Puppet Sect was still in the Celestial Cyan Domain, a Gold Corpse resisted a lethal strike from a Ten Thousand Laws Palace Nascent Soul True Monarch.

The Silver Corpse before him with faint golden glow already possessed thirty percent of a Gold Corpse's power, comparable in realm to a Fake Pill True Man, but in actual combat strength, due to the peculiar nature of Corpse Puppets, undeniably surpassing the Fake Pill True Man.

"You all head toward the Celestial River Immortal City!" Without much thought, Qin Henian immediately transmitted the order to the three behind him.

Escape?

Qin Chuan's eyes filled with fear.

In his memory, his old ancestor had never displayed such a lack of confidence, even confidently assuming no one dared intercept him a moment earlier.

Yet at this moment, he actually ordered the three of them to flee.

It was enough indication of his lack of confidence.

"Little Demon Child, let this old man face the supposedly invincible Corpse Puppet of the same tier!" Qin Henian handed control of the Flying Boat to Li Ji'an, then flew upward to meet the challenge, simultaneously pushing the boat back.

But as soon as the Flying Boat moved, a teasing shout rang out: "Trying to escape?"

Xue Ling'Er smiled wickedly, her entire being instantly transformed into a blood cloud.

Her speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, she was behind the Flying Boat, blocking the way.

"Swish, swish, swish!" Meanwhile, multiple Blood Swords rushed toward the Flying Boat.

As a Flying Spiritual Artifact, the Flying Boat had poor defense power; Li Ji'an immediately retracted the Flying Boat.

At the moment the Flying Boat was retracted, Yan Qingwan and Li Ji'an instinctively flickered to the sides, avoiding the Blood Swords.

However, Qin Chuan had a brief moment of daze, failing to evade them instantly, getting enveloped by the Blood Swords.

Bang, bang, bang!

His Foundation Establishment Early Period Body-Protecting Dharma Shield shattered instantly.

Fortunately, at the moment the shield shattered, a Square Tripod Cauldron appeared in front of him, blocking the deadly Blood Swords.

"Fan'Er, attack as a defense!" Yan Qingwan, not yet stabilizing her form, immediately transmitted a voice to Li Ji'an.
