I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 93: Central Attack

Just as Lin Chen and Xu Mengyun were discussing how to serve customers and earn more spirit stones...

Azure Cloud Sect, Qingxuan Mountain.

The entire mountain peak had treacherous terrain, with cliffs on all sides. Underneath the cliffs, there was a lingering cold wind and a pervasive aura of death, making it impossible for ordinary cultivators to approach.

On the mountaintop, it was flattened, surrounded by a barren land where no grass grew. The terrain was clearly visible, and groups of fierce cultivators patrolled here.

In the middle was a lush forest, but the vegetation was densely layered, giving off an indescribable sense of depth and coldness. There was even a hidden killing intent deep within.

As for the central area, there stood a towering ancient tree that reached the sky. The lush canopy of the tree cut the sunlight into countless tiny golden spots, and it was surrounded by dazzling spiritual light, forming a defensive barrier.

This place was the central defense of the Azure Cloud Sect - Qingxuan Mountain. It was responsible for the overall defense of the sect's internal and external gates, and was a worthy important location of the sect.

At this moment, outside Qingxuan Mountain, a cloud of mist flew rapidly, causing the faces of the patrolling cultivators to change.

"Who goes there?!"

"It's me!" The cloud of mist landed on the mountain and dissipated, revealing the figures within.

The leader was a gray-robed cultivator with black and white hair, but his complexion resembled that of a middle-aged man. Behind him were three young cultivators.

"Greetings, Elder Situ!" Some of the patrolling cultivators seemed to recognize the person and saluted.

"Hmm." Elder Situ glanced at them expressionlessly and said, "I'm here for my shift."

"Yes, please cooperate, Elder Situ." The captain of the patrol nodded respectfully and began the inspection.

The team members behind him approached and checked their identification tokens, while the captain opened his palm, and True Qi surged within his hand. After a few moments, a unique spirit herb grew out of it, emitting a green light that scanned their bodies.

The captain had refined the "Guardian Grass" into his spiritual plant, and it was connected to its mother plant, allowing him to determine the identity of the visitors.

"Identity verification... correct."

The captain felt relieved, then bowed, "I apologize for the offense, Elder Situ."

The middle-aged cultivator ignored him and led his people straight into the interior.

After he had walked away, a team member let out a sigh of relief, "Why does Elder Situ seem so scary?"

"Ah, Elder Situ used to be different. He used to be a very kind person, but unfortunately..." the captain sighed.

"What happened?" a curious new team member asked.

"Elder Situ, who were companions in adversity, died at the hands of a demonic cultivator from the Xuan Yin Sect because the sect's rescue was not timely. And their two children, sigh... because of the incident in the Pill Hall thirty years ago..."

"Thirty years ago?"

Although the new team member was young, they had heard about this matter, after all, it had been used by the sect as a negative example to educate disciples.

Thirty years ago, there was a lone son of a Foundation Building Stage cultivator who held a position of status. During his tenure, he embezzled nearly half of the medicinal materials from the Pill Hall, selling them for spirit stones to support his own expenses.

After the matter was exposed, the Gold Core ancestor of the sect was furious and, disregarding the desperate pleas of the Foundation Building Stage cultivator, had him and the group led by his lone son slaughtered to uphold the orthodox sect's principles.

"Could it be..." the new team member involuntarily exclaimed.

"That's right." The senior team member nodded. "Since then, Elder Situ suffered a great blow, even his hair turned half white overnight."

"But fortunately, Elder Situ managed to overcome it. Since then, not only did he cultivate diligently, but he also fought on the front lines, even killing a disciple of the Xuan Yin Sect's true transmission. If he wasn't low-key and didn't like to show off, he would probably have a renowned reputation throughout the entire sect." The senior team member sighed.

"That's enough, stop talking!" Just as the new team member was about to continue the topic, the captain interrupted directly. "Let's continue today's patrol!"

"...Yes!"

On the other side, Elder Situ led three people walking through the dense forest.

This dense forest was not only one of the central defense lines but also a means of detection.

It would detect the vitality within the visitors' bodies to see if it matched the information recorded by the sect.

However, the four of them showed no abnormality on their faces because they had indeed grown up in the Azure Cloud Sect since childhood without any exceptions.

Soon, the four arrived in front of an ancient tree.

Around the ancient tree, there were several hundred-meter-tall spirit trees, each with a distinct human face and even emitting the aura fluctuations of the Foundation Building Stage.

Obviously, these were tree people who had reached the Foundation Building Stage!

After passing through the thorough inspection of the tree people, the four successfully entered the tree.

Inside the tree, countless spirit plants intertwined and converged. Amidst the interweaving of spiritual light, pale blue screens formed, revealing the transportation hubs, important areas of the Azure Cloud Sect, market cave mansions, and other places inside and outside the sect.

Not only that, the control of the Emperor's House Tree defense, the Sound Transmission Flower communication, the Reed Grass teleportation, and the Wind of Trust passage inside and outside the Azure Cloud Sect were all in this place!

"Junior Brother Situ Feng, you're here." As soon as the four entered, an ethereal and youthful-looking old man with white hair walked over and said loudly.

"Elder Wu." Situ Feng's cold face squeezed out a faint smile. "I'm here to take over the shift."

"Good, then I'll leave the matters here to you." The old man smiled. "I have some things to attend to, and the specific tasks will be introduced to you by other senior brothers."

"Alright." Situ Feng nodded.

Soon, the old man led the people away, and as he left, a white-robed old man and a middle-aged cultivator in a gray robe walked up one after another.

"I am surnamed Tian, and you already know this junior brother Peng, so I don't need to introduce him," the white-robed old man smiled.

"Tian senior brother, junior brother Peng," Situ Feng nodded.

"Let me introduce the upcoming work to Senior Brother Situ," Elder Peng said.

"Okay."

Just as Situ Feng approached Elder Peng, the latter suddenly noticed that among the disciples who followed Situ Feng, one person walked straight towards the white-robed old man.

"Hmm, who are you?" the old man in white looked at him.

Isn't this the kid who is friends with his granddaughter?

"What's the matter..." he was about to speak, but suddenly he was stunned because at this moment, the disciple in front of him suddenly raised his head and stared straight at him.

And in his pupils, instead of his own reflection, there was a girl covered in blood.

Is this... his granddaughter?!

Elder Tian's face changed, but before he could react, his body suddenly stiffened, and an indescribable chill surged out of his blood, imprisoning his soul in an instant.

This is a curse, a curse imposed using blood as a medium and the reflection in the pupil as the activation condition!

The attack came so suddenly that only Foundation Building cultivators present barely managed to react!

"Elder Tian..." Elder Peng's face changed dramatically. He was about to take action, but his body also stiffened, and he looked down with an incredulous expression on his face.

Because a blood-colored claw, in an instant, broke through the protective spiritual technique on his body and pierced through his chest!

The full-force sneak attack from someone of the same cultivation level, along with the sudden turn of events, left him with no time to react!

And the one who made the move was Situ Feng standing next to him!

"Why...?!" Feeling an indescribable chill spreading inside him, Elder Peng's face turned pale, but he stared at the other person and questioned.

The central detection includes both the body and the soul, and it is impossible for the methods of the Azure Cloud Sect to possess parasitic abilities. So, Situ Feng and the others did this entirely out of their own will.

But they were raised by the Azure Cloud Sect since childhood, why would they join the Xuan Yin Sect and even launch a deadly attack on the central detection?

"Naturally, it's for revenge for my wife."

Situ Feng emotionlessly pulled out the blood claw, and the latter fell to the ground with a face full of unwillingness.

He swept his gaze around, and the remaining disciples had already fallen to the ground under his soul attack, their faces showing struggling despair.

"How is it?" Situ Feng didn't continue his attack but turned his head and looked at the two remaining people he brought, or more accurately, the one disciple.

Because at the moment they made their move, one of them directly burst into a mist of blood, enveloping the entire hall and blocking the transmission of information inside and outside!

"It's done. All outgoing information has been intercepted," a sinister voice came from within the blood mist, "but it won't last long."

"That's enough." Situ Feng's tone was icy, "Don't hesitate anymore, let's begin!"

As soon as his words fell, the last person slowly walked up. With each step, he gradually turned into a mist of blood, enveloping the souls of the two elders who were imprisoned on the ground.

Soon, the blood mist dissipated, leaving only two people standing in place.

And these two people were the two elders who were just ambushed!

However, there was no look of shock or anger on their faces. Instead, they wore a strange smile.

Then, the two of them, together with Situ Feng, walked to the largest screen in the hall and said in unison.

"Requesting execution permission."

"Ding!"

In an instant, a crisp sound echoed in the hall, and the screen in front of them kept changing until it formed rows of spiritual light characters.

[Detected command requester]

[Confirming requester's identity: Situ Feng, Tian...]

[Conducting requester verification]

[Breath detection, passed!]

[Blood detection, passed!]

[Soul detection...]

At this moment, the progress on the spiritual screen suddenly froze, and Situ Feng subconsciously glanced to the side.

"Don't worry, the [Blood God Possession Technique] not only possesses the body but also the soul. It's not so easy to detect!" the white-robed old man sneered.

As soon as he finished speaking, the font on the screen changed again.

[...Passed!]

Finally, all the detection information on the screen disappeared, leaving only one line of text emitting a faint blue light.

[Please issue the execution command!]
