The people of the Zhou family were immersed in sadness. The backbone of the Zhou family had fallen, like a towering tree that suddenly collapsed.

Xu Ying did not leave, but silently bid farewell to this pioneer.

He didn't know if he was sad or relieved.

Zhou Qiyun had died, and the shadow that had hung over him had disappeared.

The person who could control his fate and make him unable to escape had completely disappeared from this world.

Through his confrontation with Zhou Qiyun, he had grown and learned so much, and had come one step closer to the truth of this world.

Zhou Qiyun was not a good person. His family had caused the decline of Yongzhou and the suffering of the people in other places. The people lived in misery, and countless people had been driven to death by excessive taxes.

Xu Ying had been bullied by the Zhou family since he was young, and he hated people like them.

He had no good feelings towards the entire Zhou family.

But Zhou Qiyun was very charismatic, and they had a relationship of both teacher and friend. Xu Ying was Zhou Qiyun's teacher, teaching him the two immortal techniques of the Qi Refiner. Zhou Qiyun was also Xu Ying's teacher, teaching him how to survive in this world.

Now that this good teacher and friend had passed away, Xu Ying felt empty inside.

"Xu Ying, the Patriarch left a letter for you before his tribulation." Zhou Heng, the portly governor of Yongzhou, walked over laboriously and handed Xu Ying a letter.

"He said that if he met with misfortune, he wanted me to personally deliver it to Mount Wuwang."

Zhou Heng's face was gloomy as he said, "Since you are here, I won't go. When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Hehe, the biggest support of our Zhou family is gone. Now, we can only save some descendants by escaping. If we don't, our family will be wiped out."

Xu Ying accepted the letter, puzzled. "Why does Governor Zhou say that?"

Zhou Heng's enthusiasm waned as he said, "In the past, our family could act recklessly because we had the invincible Zhou Nanxian on our side. But because of our arrogance, we made many enemies. Although the Zhou family has squandered countless wealth in this tribulation, we still have a foundation and countless riches. But no one has ever thought about what would happen if the Patriarch fell. Now we have to think about it."

Without the invincible Zhou Qiyun, guarding such great wealth would no longer be a blessing.

With Zhou Qiyun dead, his former enemies and political opponents would attack the Zhou family. Even those without grudges would take advantage of the situation.

Only by taking advantage of the fact that news of Zhou Qiyun's death had not yet spread, and escaping in time, would there be hope of preserving some bloodline of the Zhou family and preventing its extinction.

Xu Ying thought for a moment and said, "Take care of yourself."

Zhou Heng waved his hand, leaped off the cliff, and a plump golden-winged roc appeared behind him, grabbing his shoulder and flying away.

The other members of the Zhou family also displayed their supernatural abilities one by one and fled.

After a while, only Xu Ying remained on Mount Jiuyi.

Qi, who had been on Xu Ying's shoulder, revealed his true form and asked, "Ah Ying, what did Patriarch Baimei say in the letter?"

Xu Ying unfolded the letter, and the first sentence was still so familiar: "Seeing your name is like seeing your face." After that, there were polite greetings, which seemed both false and sincere.

Zhou Qiyun said in the letter that he had made thorough preparations for this tribulation, but as long as one was human, there would always be mistakes.

He had always hoped to break free from the shackles of humanity and reach a realm beyond human, to examine every judgment with absolute rationality. But he could never achieve it, and human nature still remained.

There were times when he would be careless, times when he would be soft-hearted, times when he would grieve for an ant, and times when he would be delighted by a small insight.

He could admire a talented young man, but also envy and hate a young person who was smarter than him.

Such a person would make mistakes.

Before the tribulation, he wrote this letter with a sense of restlessness and unease, realizing that the problem mostly lay with the owner of the Mud Pill Palace.

As Xu Ying read this, he regained his composure and continued reading.

Zhou Qiyun said that it had been too easy for him to eliminate the owner of the Mud Pill Palace. What if all of this was just a plan arranged by the owner of the Mud Pill Palace in advance? What if the person he killed was not the real owner of the Mud Pill Palace?

The owner of the Mud Pill Palace was just a snake catcher who had lived for over three hundred years, while the other party's lifespan could be extremely long.

During the three thousand years of the rise of the Difficult Teacher, there might have been many people like him who had been eaten by the owner of the Mud Pill Palace.

Perhaps he had many senior brothers and sisters who had also cultivated the inheritance of the owner of the Mud Pill Palace, only to become food for the owner of the Mud Pill Palace.

The owner of the Mud Pill Palace was in an unknown state. At this moment, he no longer had time to set up more traps to deal with such an unknown enemy.

"If I am truly dead, there is only one possibility: the owner of the Mud Pill Palace, as I expected, is still in this world," he said in the letter.

"If that is truly the case, by the time you read this letter, I will already be dead."

He laughed heartily, "But if none of this has happened, this letter would not have fallen into your hands, because before ascending, I would have destroyed it. In this way, I can still maintain the reputation of an impeccable strategist."

"So when you read this, I am truly dead," he said.

"Before I die, I should kill you. You have killed many descendants of my Zhou family. These people are all my descendants, and you are extremely clever, with more possibilities than me. All of this makes me jealous, and I must kill you."

"But I can't."

He spoke candidly in the letter, as if he were telling his inner journey to a close friend."I should have been eaten by the master of the Mud Pill Palace. No one from the Zhou family can avenge me. After I die, the Zhou family will disperse. They used to act arrogantly because they had my protection. From now on, they will have to repay everything they have done for themselves.

"They will change their names and hide, they will hide in the east and escape from the west, they will die with only one in ten or one in a hundred chances of survival. I have no descendants left, only one friend. I cannot kill you.

"I have a selfish request: please avenge me, Xu Jun. But I am proud and do not want to beg you."

Xu Ying held the last piece of paper and read the last words of the letter from Zhou Qiyun. He knew that Xu Ying had no way to activate the power of the Mud Pill Palace, and he had been unable to unify the secrets of the pill, hidden realm, and Empty Silence.

Therefore, he left the techniques of the master of the Mud Pill Palace in the Demon Suppression Hall of the Chaozhen Taixu Cave.

In addition to the original techniques of the master of the Mud Pill Palace, he also left his own insights into the Ascension technique, which combined the strengths of the Xiong and Qi families, in the Demon Suppression Hall.

"I know you will go and see, and I know you will not be able to resist your curiosity and open the original techniques of the master of the Mud Pill Palace. Once you see it, you will not be able to resist cultivating it.

"At the moment you cultivate, you will have a strange feeling: a pair of eyes opening in the darkness, silently staring at your back. That was the feeling I had when I first cultivated the original techniques of the master of the Mud Pill Palace.

"By doing this, you will be in danger, but you will definitely do it. Because all difficult techniques are traps.

"I have searched for the hidden realms of the ancient Xiong Immortals throughout the world, and have never encountered a living Xiong Immortal. This is proof. All Xiong Immortals who hide in the hidden realms in their old age will encounter unexpected events. They are the great elixirs of the ancient Qi cultivators!

"The history of ancient cultivation is filled with deep bonds between masters and disciples, but upon closer inspection, it is full of cannibalism.

"If you want to harness the power of the six secrets of the human body, if you want to achieve unity, you must cultivate the original techniques of the master of the Mud Pill Palace. Once you reach the pinnacle of cultivation, if you cannot defeat the master of the Mud Pill Palace, then I will consider it my revenge for the Zhou family. If you win, it will be my revenge for myself using your hands!

"Xu Jun, will you cultivate? I can't help but worry.

"Qiyun, I bow to you."

Xu Ying closed the letter, put it away, and let out a sigh of relief. He whispered, "You truly are something."

Qi Xiaoxin cautiously asked, "Ah Ying, will you cultivate?"

Da Zhong also became nervous and said, "Ah Ying, this is a trap! For the past three thousand years, no one has survived the cultivation of the Xiong Immortals! They all died in their hidden realms!"

Chaozhen Taixu Cave, Demon Suppression Hall.

Xu Ying stood quietly in front of the shrine, where a stack of thick books was placed. Below them were Zhou Qiyun's insights into the cultivation of both Xiong and Qi techniques, incorporating the experiences of many predecessors.

These experiences were his greatest treasure in this lifetime, even more valuable than his cultivation techniques that combined Xiong and Qi.

The book on the top was the original technique used by the master of the Mud Pill Palace for fishing.

There was a line of words on the cover of the book, the name of the technique.

"The Mud Pill Hidden Realm Eternal Life Technique."

He seemed to see the young man with white eyebrows standing at the other end of the shrine, smiling at him, his eyes filled with wisdom.

"Xu Jun, will you cultivate? I can't help but worry." He smiled and said to Xu Ying, his voice and appearance so clear and real.

"Thump, thump!"

"Thump, thump!"

Xu Ying heard his own heartbeat and his own breathing.

He felt nervous, unable to calm down in the face of this life-changing decision.

Qi Qixi stepped forward and said loudly, "Ah Ying, I will destroy these harmful books! We can achieve longevity through Qi cultivation alone, we don't need to open any secrets. Let's just be pure Qi cultivators!"

Da Zhong also said, "That's right! That's right! Although the Snake has always been a bookworm, what he said is not wrong. If the techniques are harmful, why not just not cultivate them? Qi cultivation can also achieve longevity."

Suddenly, Xu Ying reached out and stopped them, saying softly, "If we cannot seek revenge and repay kindness in this life, what is the difference between us and dirt?"

His other hand reached out and opened the first page of the Mud Pill Hidden Realm Eternal Life Technique.

The words in the book entered his eyes.

Disciple: Can the Mud Pill Hidden Realm grant immortality through nine transformations?

Immortal Master: The Mud Pill's nine transformations can grant immortality. If you absorb the qi of heaven and earth, you can steal the chaos of the primordial sea. Gather the qi in the Mud Pill Palace and obtain the elixir of immortals.

...

Xu Ying read every word and sentence, and involuntarily, the vitality within the Mud Pill Hidden Realm and the hidden realm itself began to move. He fished out the "elixir of immortals" from the primordial sea of chaos.

This "elixir of immortals" was the vitality within the human body!

Along with the fishing of the "elixir of immortals," Xu Ying felt an endless darkness engulfing him.

In the darkness behind him, a pair of eyes slowly opened, silently staring at him, making his hair stand on end and a chill run down his spine.

"I have been marked," Xu Ying silently thought.

When he cultivated the Mud Pill Hidden Realm Eternal Life Technique, he was marked as the next prey.

"You... When you were staring at me, I was also staring at you."

Xu Ying smiled and said to the illusion of Zhou Qiyun, who did not actually exist, "Senior Zhou, please go. I am stronger than you, smarter than you, and I will avenge you."

The Zhou Qiyun in his eyes disappeared, leaving only the books on the shrine.- The third update is here! Still asking for votes!!
