Chapter 5500His eyes revealed a resolute determination, as if he were ready to take on the challenge.At this moment, the golden-robed monk’s sermon suddenly reached its climax.His voice grew more passionate, and the jade ruyi in his hand shone even brighter.The light was like the sun, blinding anyone who could see it.Meanwhile, his golden robes fluttered without a breeze, as if supported by a mysterious force.“Now, I will guide you in drawing the profound energy of heaven and earth into your bodies, breaking through your bottleneck!”the golden-robed monk shouted, his voice resonating through the air like thunder.As he finished speaking, the surrounding monks began practicing their techniques, attempting to draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies.Their faces lit up with anticipation, as if they had seen hope of breaking through their bottleneck.However, they were unaware that they were walking step by step towards the abyss of death.On the Soul Gathering Altar, runes flickered, emitting an eerie glow, as if concealing countless unknown secrets.A group of monks sat cross-legged, their expressions focused and tinged with a certain fervor. They were enveloped in a mysterious aura, immersed in a strange state known as “hearing the teachings.” Agolden-robed monk muttered something, and the jade ruyi’s radiance suddenly intensified, like a dazzling little sun, blinding anyone.David’s heart tightened, a sense of foreboding welling up within him.With his keen perception and vast experience, he instantly grasped the danger.Once this wave of guidance was complete, the soul threads of the monks present would be drained away in a single stroke.Even if they could be saved, their spiritual intelligence would be severely damaged, reducing them to a state of cadaveric existence.“We can’t wait any longer!” David thought to himself, his gaze growing firm.He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze like a deep ,cold pool, radiating an infinite calm and resolve.Black and white flames suddenly surged around him, like a surging wave, instantly enveloping him and Hu Mazi beside him.This black and white flame, the product of David’s unique cultivation technique, embodied immense power, capable of both defending against external enemies and attacking them.Simultaneously, David summoned his Dragon Slaying Sword, its blade gleaming with a sharp aura.With a resounding roar, a piercing sword energy, like lightning, struck the groove in the center of the platform.

This person is likely a demonic spy! Seeing us drawing upon the profound energy of heaven and earth to aid our breakthrough, he’s now sabotaging us. It’s clear he doesn’t want us to advance!”These words sent the previously bewildered cultivators into a frenzy.Those who had just emerged from their hypnotic state were already resentful of the interrupted “breakthrough opportunity.”They had waited so long for this breakthrough, expending countless effort and blood, only to have their efforts thwarted. One can imagine the fury they felt.
