The once bustling Wukong Mountain is now deserted, with weeds growing wildly and the spiritual fields abandoned. From time to time, some small wild beasts can be seen poking their heads out from among the weeds.
"It's just this area."
Listening to his subordinate's report, Mù Xī stepped on the small path filled with weeds and walked up along the mountain road.
"What sect is this place?" she asked.
"It's a sword cultivation sect called Wu Kong Jian Men." The middle-aged man apparently did a lot of work, introducing in detail: "Wu Kong Jian Men is one of the most outstanding sects in Tian Yue Realm, and has been very popular in the past two years. At first, they had four Golden Dan stage cultivators, with quite impressive strength."
"Oh, such a small place, with four Golden Dan, it's indeed somewhat unusual." Mu Xi said in surprise.
Yan Feng coldly sneered in disagreement.
Mu Xi ignored him and turned to the middle-aged man, saying: "You continue speaking."
"In these two years, they have expanded rapidly and now there are almost ten Golden Core cultivators within the sect."
A hint of surprise flashed in Mu Xi's eyes: "Nearly ten Golden Elixirs?"
Yan Feng's face also showed a few points of surprise. They were just the vanguard, nearly ten Golden Dan cultivators, enough to pose a serious threat to them. Although he was arrogant, he was able to come out of the Demon Sect smoothly, and naturally he was not foolish.
"Besides, their second-generation disciples are also outstanding, dominating the Tianyue realm. The eldest disciple, Wei Sheng, reached the state of condensed pulse at the age of 20, and his innate talent in sword cultivation is astonishing, having already reached the level of Sword Intent Taking Shape. The second disciple, Zuo Mo, excels at talisman arrays. The third disciple, Luo Li, also reached the state of condensed pulse and created his own sword manual, 'I Depart'."
"What a powerful sect!" Mu Xi's expression changed suddenly.
Over the years, they have come to understand more about cultivators. The information contained in this data would not be surprising if it appeared in a medium-sized sect. But appearing in such a small and remote little sect is truly astonishing.
Yan Feng's face also showed a shocked expression. He had always claimed to be a genius, but this time he heard that someone had reached the state of condensing his veins and achieving the realm of sword intent taking shape at the age of twenty, which gave him an extremely great shock!
They walked to a small, isolated wooden hut. The hut was very eye-catching, and as they walked along the way, the weeds were lush everywhere, but this small hut had rugged and barren land around it, without a single weed in sight.
Such an eye-catching strange place, the law enforcement can't escape, Mu Xi stared at the small wooden house for half a day, standing still on the spot. Others seeing Mu Xi not moving, also didn't dare to move. Yan Feng seeing this, coldly snorted and walked towards the wooden house without hesitation.
The middle-aged man looked at Mu Xi with an inquiring expression.
Mu Xi smiled faintly and waved her hand.
Yan Feng's right foot had just stepped into the empty space when his mind buzzed and his hair stood on end!
The scene in front of him suddenly changed, and the ordinary wooden house collapsed with a loud crash. The surrounding space seemed to collapse instantly, and an invisible force pulled him down frantically, countless icy cold sword intents squeezed towards him from all sides!
He was shocked and turned pale, his eyes immediately turned red, and his whole body was surrounded by flames!
With a loud shout, he exerted all his strength and retreated rapidly!
As soon as he left the empty land, the terrifying scene vanished into thin air, and the suction and sword intent seemed like an illusion. Yanfeng swallowed his saliva in horror, his body's flames not daring to retreat, and he looked at the small wooden hut with a lingering fear.
"This is a place of meditation for a powerful sword cultivator." Mu Xi walked slowly to his side, opening his mouth leisurely: "Every inch of land here has been soaked in the sword intent of the sword cultivators for a long time, fierce and sharp, nothing can survive. Every step you take forward, the sword intent becomes even more severe. In the end, there are only two outcomes, one is that you will be crushed by the sword intent, and the other outcome is that all the sword intent will be crushed by you."
Yan Feng's face turned pale. Since entering the Xiaoshan boundary from the chaotic rift, they had been invincible, and he hadn't encountered any real resistance, leading him to be extremely disdainful of cultivators, thinking that was all there was to them. It wasn't until now that he suddenly realized that the strong among cultivators could actually be so terrifying!
Yan Feng's unusual silence made Mu Xi very satisfied. This time, she wasn't just targeting Yan Feng alone. She had long discovered that the mentality of underestimating the enemy was quietly spreading within the team, which was extremely deadly for a vanguard team like theirs that was deep in enemy territory.
Her subordinates behind her stared at this desolate land with no grass and the wooden house in shock.
She turned around and saw that the look of arrogance and complacency in her subordinates' eyes had largely disappeared, and only then did she ask the middle-aged man calmly: "Is there a suspicious target?"
The middle-aged man respectfully said: "Judging from the time when the White Day Star appeared, Master's stay in Wu Kong Jian Men should be before its expansion. Before the expansion, there were not many people in Wu Kong Jian Men. Since Master can cast the White Day Star technique, I'm afraid Master has injuries on his body. It seems that Master staying in Jin Dan Xiū Zhě's body is unlikely to have enough power, and the possibility is not great. The suspects are more likely to be the few second-generation disciples below him."
Mu Xi didn't interrupt and listened carefully before thinking for a moment and asking: "Who do you think is the most suspicious?"
"Wei wins!" said the middle-aged man without hesitation.
"Why?"
"Wei Sheng's natural talent is the most outstanding, and he can provide the greatest help to adults!"
Mu Xi shook her head: "I don't think so. If you were injured and relying on someone else, what would you consider?"
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said: "From what I can see, the first is safety, and the second is to recover as soon as possible."
"You're right," Mu Xi said: "Wei Sheng's talent is the strongest and most valued by the sect. If he's not careful, it's easy to reveal his true nature. So, possessing him would be unwise. If I were you, I'd choose Zuo Mo or Luo Li. They don't attract as much attention as Wei Sheng, but can still get a good supply of resources. Moreover, the degree of attention they receive is definitely not as high as Wei Sheng's, whether it's control or temptation, it's easier."
The middle-aged man admired him extremely: "Great wisdom!"
"Where is Wu Kong Jian Men now?"
"It is said that they have moved towards the Mingtao border." The middle-aged man replied, revealing a hint of difficulty: "With our current strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to take down the Mingtao border."
Mu Xi didn't get angry, and smiled: "Ming Tao border is the middle border, of course it's not something we can take down. Our task is almost complete, you got the intel, and our inference, make a report, send it back and that's it. The rest will be handled by others."
"Yes!" The middle-aged man replied respectfully.
Yan Feng's face returned to normal, and he heard Mu Xi's words, somewhat unwilling: "Then why are we staying here?"
"We?" Mu Xi smiled: "It's been busy for so long, it's time to take a break."
The flames died down suddenly.
Zuo Mo's entire body was filled with power, this new body gave him too many surprises and unfamiliarity. Especially in terms of physical cultivation, he made the fastest progress, without much effort, he broke through the Three Mountains Boundary, and with every move, his entire body was filled with a strong and powerful energy, feeling wonderful to the extreme.
What surprised him the most was that the demonic pattern carved on his body by Pú Yāo also completely dissipated during this rebirth. However, for some reason, there were some flower-like patterns on his skin, like a matrix of symbols. These patterns did not have the complex and mysterious beauty of the demonic pattern, but were full of the artificial beauty of the symbol array.
But whether these patterns are actually Fu Xi's symbols or not, Zuo Mo is still uncertain. He needs time to study them slowly.
Apart from breaking through the Three Mountains with his physical body, another breakthrough was his long-awaited divine power.
His divine power and eyes are related, and this has not changed with the change of a new body.
"Insight!"
Being able to capture the flow of spiritual energy is the only effect of "Spiritual Eyes".
He still can't use the "Spirit Eye" at will, and if he uses it for a slightly longer period of time, his eyes will become sore. However, even so, the "Spirit Eye" still brings him endless surprise. Perhaps others might not think much of the "Spirit Eye", but to him, it's the most suitable thing.
Especially in the study of Fu Zhen, being able to directly observe the flow of spiritual energy is like adding wings to a tiger!
There are many interpretations of supernatural powers. Chan meditation believes that it is the wisdom born from Zen concentration, and supernatural power is wisdom. Pu Yao sneers at this statement, thinking that it is the awakening of the original strength of flesh and blood.
However, there is one point that they coincidentally agree on - the divine sense can grow. Unfortunately, neither Zongru nor Pu Yao know how to cultivate the divine sense.
Zuo Mo wasn't in a hurry, anyway there was the simplest and most stupid method, practice makes perfect. Whenever he had time, he would cast "Divine Eyes" until it became unbearably sour before stopping.
This time, remolding the body brought about overall progress. Apart from refining the body and spiritual connection, other aspects of cultivation also made considerable advancements.
New meridians are more tenacious and wider than before by half. Skeleton is like jade, stronger than fine steel. Muscles are like iron, flexible with strength.
Every time he examined this new body of his, Luo Mo couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration. For some reason, he had an added sense of reverence for the tombstone. Such an unbelievable method was simply worthy of being called "stealing heaven and changing the day", mysterious and unfathomable!
He couldn't think of anyone who would have such means, and such means had overturned all his understanding.
However, this awe was deeply placed in his heart, and he practiced tirelessly. Now that he has such excellent conditions, if he were to waste them, it would be a huge loss! The talent possessed by this body is something he could not have imagined before.
Just as Zuo Mo was crazily cultivating, Gong Sun Zhi led this group of cultivators to start an equally crazy expansion.
Within three months, Gong Sun Zan led these cultivators through four bitter battles!
One of the most bitter battles was fought here, where even Ma Feng and Xie Xuan were wounded, and Gong Sun Zan narrowly escaped death.
But this battle also thoroughly stirred up the crazy side under Gong Sun Zan's handsome and shy appearance. Almost as soon as everyone's injuries had just healed, he led fifteen combat units to raid 800 miles, eliminate a force, and capture eighty cultivators.
After four consecutive fierce battles, the number of cultivators in Gong Sun's hands also expanded rapidly, reaching an unprecedented scale of 450 people, and became the largest force within a radius of three thousand miles.
The notorious Xiaonang, rapidly spreading its influence. This mysterious force, with its strong and fierce attacking power, is a sight to behold. After a series of dazzling battles, everyone understands that this team is not benevolent.
Within a radius of three thousand miles, all scattered cultivators were swept away by Gong Sun Diao, not a single one was spared. In other words, in this vast area, except for Gong Sun Diao and his group, there was no one else anywhere else.
However, Gongsun Zan, who had been winning battle after battle, was in a very bad mood because of some news he had heard.
