Chapter 502: Chapter 257: Enemies Cross Paths, Reentering the West Mountain Floating Domain
"Thank you, Brother Feng." Wen Jiu reminded once more and took out a Tier Three Protective Talisman left by Master Jue Ying from his storage bag, "It’s best for Brother Feng to stay secluded at home for a while to not arouse suspicion."
Seeing the Tier Three Protective Yin Talisman, Feng Jue was delighted.
It was an authentic means to preserve life within the hands of a Golden Core Cultivator, exceptionally precious. Across the whole Wind and Cloud Immortal City, it’s estimated that only confidants like Daoist Wei and Vice City Lord Lin might possess such a thing.
Having Master Du’s protection was one thing, but having a self-preservation capability was another.
"Thank you, Brother Han!"
Feng Jue accepted the Tier Three Protective Yin Talisman and then asked, "Brother Han, is there anything else I could do for the Longevity Celestial Ruins?"
Feng Jue understood that giving effort benefitted receiving in return.
What Han Li gave, he didn’t know, but just by staying secluded in Lengxi Mountain, he quickly reached the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment. The Longevity Celestial Ruins must have granted them an unimaginable opportunity for Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Wen Jiu knew Feng Jue’s intention and asked with a smile, "Brother Feng, do you think the Longevity Celestial Ruins needs us little Foundation Establishment Cultivators to do anything?"
Feng Jue’s expression steeled.
Feng Jue continued, "As I said before, if there’s trouble, feel free to speak, Brother Han. Only when I become a Heterodox Golden Core should we talk about serving the Longevity Celestial Ruins. Only Golden Core Cultivators can accomplish what the Longevity Celestial Ruins requires."
"Thank you, Brother Han, for your guidance."
Feng Jue solemnly raised his hand and saluted, not only thanking Han Li but also paying tribute to the Longevity Celestial Ruins.
Golden Core efficiency.
How strong must it be?
"Brother Han, I’ll take my leave for now. Conveniently, I’ve gained from this trip and must return home to stay secluded to consolidate it."
Feng Jue took his leave.
Wen Jiu nodded in farewell.
After Feng Jue left, he immediately inquired of the soul within him, "Senior, how powerful must a force be to employ Nascent Soul Overlord Level strength?"
"Unimaginable, at least within the Hundred Floating Domains, among the Nascent Soul Overlord Level forces I’ve seen, none has such boastful claims. If anything, it might only be those transcendent great factions at the end of the Hundred Floating Domains. But I have lived a thousand years and have never seen them, nor their disciples, impossible to predict." The soul within him lamented repeatedly, and secretly thought this one’s defying destiny.
If this young man obeyed him in all matters and failed to build a profound friendship with Han Li, perhaps such a chance would never fall upon Feng Jue.
Indeed, the world is ever-changing.
Listening to the soul’s lament, Feng Jue’s heart inevitably stirred, then whispered, "If I seize the Longevity Celestial Ruins, will I capture the potential to advance further and higher?"
"Perhaps."
The soul within him silently nodded.
Elsewhere, after Feng Jue walked away, Wen Jiu immediately controlled the East Spring Undying Bone to leave the Little Demon Realm with the Corpse Nurturing Coffin. Regarding how to go to the West Mountain Floating Domain, he now no longer needs to borrow the means of the Lu Family and can directly fly to the West Mountain Floating Domain.
As for the West Mountain Order, once East Spring Undying Bone recombined his split soul, it became a masterless item. According to He Xiong Wu’s memories, their He Family often engaged in such acts, so simply dripping blood and recognizing the master soul would regain identity.
The only flaw is that this identity won’t withstand scrutiny, should the Domain Lord’s Mansion verify it, it could unravel immediately. But for Golden Core Cultivators, this won’t happen unless they visit the location of the Pseudo-Tier Four Spiritual Vein, where the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion is, otherwise who dares verify a Golden Core identity?
Golden Core Cultivators, though not rare in the West Mountain Floating Domain, still stand atop the Cultivation Realm hierarchy.
"According to He Xiong Wu’s memory, entering the West Mountain Floating Domain isn’t difficult. The challenge lies in passing the City Lord’s Mansion’s scrutiny when purchasing Core Formation resources. Core Formation resources, even at the City Lord’s hands, are still strategic resources." Wen Jiu immediately examined the soul memories of Master Jue Ying and He Xiong Wu.
Moments later, Wen Jiu found the answer from Master Jue Ying, "The best method is to kill a Loose Cultivator and impersonate him. Others may have flaws when mimicking, but I can perform Soul Searching, viewing childhood memories, ensuring absolute impersonation without flaws.
As for verifying the Loose Cultivator’s identity, upon obtaining recognition, they are inflicted with a Silencing Spell, allowing speech only within the City Lord’s Mansion domain, completely preventing others from Soul Searching. If I answer smoothly when facing the City Lord’s Mansion scrutiny, it won’t raise suspicion."
Having sorted out a solution, Wen Jiu was elated and immediately controlled East Spring Undying Bone to head towards the Traceless Mountain Range.
This time, he was unwilling to go to the Heaven-Reaching River again.
Attain the Unmelting Golden Pill.
Opted to pass through the Traceless Mountain Range, and if by chance encountering a Golden Core Great Demon, directly kill and use it to nourish the Three Thousand Blood Inks and Blood Demon Undying Bone’s corpse body, saving the time to buy Corpse Nourishing resources in East Pole Immortal City.
...
Three days later.
East Spring Undying Bone quietly arrived at the Traceless Mountain Range.
Simultaneously, Wen Jiu controlled the Three Thousand Blood Inks to perform a divination at intervals, determine the location of the closest Unrestrained Yin Evil Spirit. Once entering the Traceless Mountain Range area, cross-domain divination became much simpler.
It was only after advancing thirty thousand miles into the Traceless Mountain Range that he obtained a clear result that the closest Unrestrained Yin Evil Spirit was not in the Traceless Mountain Range but in the distant Celestial Yin Mountain Range.
"It even involves Golden Core, including the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect and He Family members... Hmm? How is this old fellow in the West Mountain Floating Domain? Wasn’t he supposed to be in the Silent Abyss?" Wen Jiu checked the destiny veins within the Dark Realm and discovered a vein surprisingly pointed toward the Three Karmic Demon.
