Chapter 1315: Chapter 1301: Tai Mai Ancient Tree’s Answer
A group of cultivators was highly efficient, and they quickly turned over every inch of the mountain, but they were regretfully unable to find any traces. The man who had previously snatched the flying sword seemed to have disappeared without a trace, leaving no signs at all.
And when there were no traces left behind.
The crowd naturally began to suspect each other.
As for the primary targets of suspicion, they were, of course, the four cultivators previously identified by the man disguised as Baiyu.
At this moment.
They were surrounded, being pressured to give an explanation.
As for the man disguised as Baiyu, he had long since vanished. The advantage of the Thousand Illusion Mask was its ability to repeatedly change appearances, which was its greatest utility.
At this moment.
Baiyu had once again disguised himself, this time as a burly and robust man, joining the discussion within the crowd.
"If you four don’t hand it over, don’t blame us for taking action."
"Hmph, treasures of the heavens and the earth have always belonged to those capable of acquiring them. If you can prove that you have the ability to take it, then show it to us."
"Stop saying things that don’t matter, hurry up and hand it over."
For a moment.
The cultivators started targeting these four individuals.
At this time, the four of them were extremely uncomfortable. They had simply arrived a bit earlier and fought against that guy, but now they were facing a siege.
Of course.
This was a common occurrence.
After all, they were the only ones who had seen traces of Baiyu, not to mention that Baiyu had secretly misled them before, planting seeds of suspicion in everyone’s hearts.
Many people might think.
The flying sword might indeed not be in the hands of the four, but they surely knew its whereabouts.
They were just waiting for these people to leave, so they could go search for it.
Such a thing.
Was naturally not allowed.
So everyone simply couldn’t let them leave.
At this moment.
Someone in the crowd suddenly said, "Maybe these four were accomplices with the guy who took the flying sword, trying to delay us here so that the one truly carrying the sword could escape by now."
For a moment.
The crowd’s expression changed slightly.
This was indeed a strong possibility!
The four individuals’ expressions changed slightly.
Knowing that staying here would likely be a dead end, their eyes communicated, confirming each other’s thoughts.
Retreat first.
Of course, they had to retreat as a group, they absolutely could not split up, because once they were isolated, they could easily be picked off one by one.
"We really don’t know where that person went. After taking a hit from us, he fled into these mountains. He must have some special method of hiding, which is why he can’t be found. You can believe it or not, if anyone is really unconvinced, you can come and try. We four brothers have been through a lot and have never feared anyone!"
The four stood united.
For a moment, the crowd dared not step forward.
Everyone wanted to be a fisherman, watching from the sidelines and getting something for nothing.
The bird that sticks its head out gets shot.
Especially at this time, once someone steps out, they could easily become the target of everyone once they are injured.
The four slowly retreated.
No one continued to follow because no one was a fool. Even if someone was going to take action, it would certainly be done in secret, not now, under the watchful eyes of all.
"Damn it, let’s disperse. These four guys might be regrouping with their accomplice."
"Let’s go, there’s nothing worth exploring here either."
"I’m going to search the mountains again, maybe there will be other discoveries."
The crowd began to disperse, chattering as they went.
Baiyu naturally blended in with the retreating crowd, thus effortlessly resolving this crisis.
Disguises in the cultivation realm.
Are definitely not the same as the Thousand Illusion Mask.
How to put it.
Disguises in the Immortal Cultivation Realm merely change some aspects of appearance and temperament but don’t alter the inner essence.
But the Thousand Illusion Mask is different.
Besides the spirit, the Thousand Illusion Mask can change almost any part of a person, completely transforming them into someone else.
At this time.
Baiyu took a deep breath, and after leaving the Sword Pavilion’s range, he checked behind him and found no followers, only then did he relax.
Within the Scholar’s Space.
There lay a flying sword.
It was quietly resting under the roots of the Tai Mai Ancient Tree, completely still, without its previous momentum.
Baiyu found a safe place.
Then.
His spirit entered the Scholar’s Space.
The Tai Mai Ancient Tree spoke in a deep voice, "This flying sword has great spirituality, but it is not very powerful. Its user probably doesn’t have much strength either."
It was rare to see the Tai Mai Ancient Tree awake.
This guy could sleep for many years without waking up, but recently Baiyu’s coming and going from the Scholar’s Space had also affected its quality of rest somewhat.
Maybe it wasn’t sleeping well.
"What is its strength?" Zhou Yi asked.
He was concerned about the strength of the Sword Monarch, after all, this was a powerful figure in the Enlightenment Realm.
The Tai Mai Ancient Tree carefully communed with the flying sword for a while, then slowly said, "I estimate it’s about similar to you, maybe a bit stronger, but not by much.
The aura on it is very special.
A little like... some cultivators I’ve seen on other planets."
Said the Tai Mai Ancient Tree.
Baiyu raised an eyebrow, curiously asking, "You’ve been to other planets?"
Looking at the Tai Mai Ancient Tree, it didn’t seem like something that could move around often, and getting around wouldn’t be very convenient. Although it mysteriously got sucked into the Scholar’s Space, once inside, it hardly moved, mostly spending its time resting and recuperating.
At this moment.
The Tai Mai Ancient Tree shook its branches, its voice carrying a hint of antiquity, "Of course, when I was just a sapling, I was taken along by the Seven Coils.
Of course.
At that time, I lived in the crevices of Its limbs, just a little sapling.
Its body was so vast.
So vast.
That even if there were many parasites on It, It wouldn’t feel them; naturally, at such a level, no amount of parasites could ever affect the main body.
Following the Seven Coils.
I’ve been to many planets.
But in the end, the Seven Coils stayed on Canglan Star, a highly unique planet, seemingly intending to do something, but I’m not sure what...
There.
The Seven Coils established the Divine Country, and I’ve stayed there ever since.
This aura.
Should come from what you call, the Immortal Cultivation Civilization?"
Baiyu nodded, "Yes, I obtained it from the ruins of an Immortal Cultivation Civilization, what of it?"
"These Immortal Cultivation Civilizations have many aspects worth learning from. If you can absorb their strength, you might be able to fuse the power of three cultivation paths together, achieving a transcendence like the sun.
Of course.
In the Extraordinary Realm, this is called a demigod or pseudo-god.
And in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, this level is called True Monarch!"
