I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 185 Xu Tian Xuan Ling
One after another, colossal hands descended from the sky, leaving enormous palm prints in the mountains and forests outside Chaos Valley, smashing countless mountains to pieces.

He cultivates two methods simultaneously. On one hand, he expands his Purple Mansion through the Wilderness Method, achieving the Myriad Manifestations. On the other hand, he continuously refines his magical power and true essence through the Eternal Life Method, cultivating a divine array with boundless magical power. The magical power of the Void Refinement cultivators in this world is insufficient to compare with his, which is why he can use his divine powers so freely.

Between the giant hand's fingers, Xu Tian Xuan Ling fled for his life. Each strike took away a portion of the Blood Sea he had painstakingly cultivated. If this continued, his strength would plummet before long.

His true form is a Blood River Banner, which can use the sea of ​​blood within his body to unleash all sorts of incredible demonic powers. The techniques he uses are all secret arts that burn his life essence. What ordinary people consider life-or-death secret arts are just ordinary secret arts to him.

Even so, this characteristic only allows him, a cultivator at the early stage of the Profound Spirit realm, to easily deal with ordinary cultivators at the late stage of the Profound Spirit realm or the late stage of the Refining Void realm.

Ordinary cultivators who wish to fight beyond their level rely on the advantages of formations and talismans. Even magical treasures rarely allow them to fight beyond their level. While they might unleash higher levels of power, it's unsustainable due to the terrifying mana consumption. As for supernatural abilities, that's even more impossible. Those consume even more mana than magical treasures and require time to cast.

But the human chasing him now has completely shattered his understanding of humanity.

Although this person's cultivation level was somewhat strange, and he couldn't directly tell what realm this person was at, he could guarantee with his own life that this person's cultivation was definitely below the Refinement of Void realm, at most only at the mid-to-late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

This person, whose cultivation level was lower than his, was able to suppress him with supernatural powers throughout the entire process, and each powerful supernatural power seemed to have no effect on him at all.

Xiao Wuji raised his palm and smashed the blood river, but the Xu Tian Xuan Ling could always "regenerate" from the seemingly insignificant drops of blood. This powerful ability to preserve its life left Xiao Wuji speechless.

"If the Blood River doesn't perish, then I'm immortal? Interesting, truly interesting. The Spirit Clan will surely come knocking on our door sooner or later! Hahaha—"

Xiao Wuji's maniacal laughter echoed throughout the entire Tomb of Sunset, causing countless birds and beasts to gallop about, and sending chills down the spines of both the human and demon races who heard his words.

"Madman, what a madman!"

Huang Lianglingjun had thought this man was a madman ever since he witnessed him undergoing his tribulation. What normal person would be so idle as to trigger their own heavenly tribulation? But now, he felt the man's madness seemed to have worsened. A mere cultivator of a lower realm dared to declare that he would attack the Spirit Clan—what else could he be but a madman?
After glancing in the direction of the valley entrance, Huan Tianqi felt a chill run down his spine. This person could probably kill him easily, and he had just been fantasizing about saving someone from such a person.

"Old man, thank you very much this time. How did you get to know such a person?" Huan Tianqi quietly approached Huang Lianglingjun and asked.

Huang Lianglingjun knew perfectly well that he had come to gather information, but he didn't mind revealing it, since it wasn't anything important. "How could I possibly know such a person? I was just fortunate enough to have witnessed his tribulation from afar!"

"You didn't see that scene..."

Huang Lianglingjun seemed to have opened a floodgate of words, and began to talk on and on. Huan Tianqi listened in astonishment, exclaiming that it was impossible, but deep down he also believed it to some extent.

"What's his name? And who is Xiao Wuji? Could he also be a genius of your human race?" Huan Tianqi was eager to learn about this person, and inevitably asked about the name Xiao Wuji.

"Uh..." Huang Lianglingjun was speechless for a moment, because he really didn't know what this person's name was.

"Senior Huang Liang, this person just said his name is Fang Han!" The two spoke without any attempt to conceal their true feelings, and the Blue City Lord, who was standing behind Huang Liang Lingjun, could naturally hear them, which is why he interjected.

"Oh? Fang Han? What a nice name!"

Having received more information about "Fang Han," Huan Tianqi grew increasingly curious. He resolved to inform the younger members of his clan never to provoke this person, not even those with the same name.

……

On the other side, Xiao Wuji stopped playing around with the Xu Tian Xuan Ling and directly unleashed a beam of Yuan Magnetic Divine Light to interfere with its magical artifact body. Then, he used the Crimson Emperor Fire Emperor Qi to form a large hand and grabbed it in his palm.

This is a small, blood-red banner, no more than a foot long. The banner pole is black, and the banner surface is blood red, emitting a strong smell of blood.

Xiao Wuji's approach to dealing with this creature was much simpler and more decisive. He directly activated a divine power called the Great Soul-Searching Hand, combined with the Yellow Spring Water, to subject it to a series of inhumane soul-searching treatments. Finally, he simply threw it into the Yellow Spring Water lake in the Crystal Palace to suppress it.

"I need to get the main body to quickly develop the Great Sealing Technique for me, otherwise, with the opponent getting stronger and stronger, how to seal them in the future will be a problem."

After dealing with Xu Tianxuanling, Xiao Wuji looked back and found that all the Spirit Clan members who had been lying in ambush outside Chaos Valley had fled, which made Xiao Wuji quite regretful.

"Sigh, what a wonderful Elven race, why did they suddenly run away?"

"I should visit them when I have the chance!"

……

Silver Moon Wolf Clan.

Xiao Wuji climbed out of the coffin, took off the necklace hanging around his neck, casually tossed the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Book in his hand onto the bookshelf, and also casually tossed the necklace to Xiaomeng, who was waiting to the side.

The coffin made from this Enlightenment Tea Tree is indeed extraordinary, far superior to that made from Bodhi Tree saplings. Of course, the effect would be even better if the two were combined.

With his second primordial spirit fighting outside, Xiao Wuji was able to focus on comprehending the Dao. Every day, he either studied the "Undying Emperor Scripture" or the laws of the Great Dao, and his progress was extremely gratifying.

After learning the object's purpose, Xiaomeng would stay by the coffin every day, clutching the divine essence. She could use it to cultivate her understanding of the Dao, and also lie down inside whenever Xiao Wuji climbed out of the coffin. But where was the coffin lid? Could it have been used as a bed by its "master"?
Seeing Xiaomeng, who had entered the door and lay dead with ease, Xiao Wuji was speechless. He was furious that he wasn't the biggest beneficiary of this treasure of enlightenment!
However, when he thought that even Xiaomeng was his, he wasn't so angry anymore. No matter how much enlightenment she gained, she was still his.

In recent years, Xiao Wuji has not cultivated properly, and has been immersed in enlightenment. If it weren't for the impending heavenly tribulation, he wouldn't have been in a hurry to come out.

Having received a wave of tribulation-crossing experience from the second primordial spirit, Xiao Wuji also planned to refine a few treasures for himself to use in his tribulation-crossing.

First, a treasure for storing lightning is essential. This treasure's level cannot be too high, otherwise, Ancestor Ao Xiao might covet it, so holy weapons and the like can be abandoned. However, this treasure also cannot be too low-level, otherwise it cannot store much.

Considering all the circumstances, Xiao Wuji decided to forge himself a top-grade, Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure. A treasure of this level was already incredibly tempting; only a Mahayana cultivator could possibly be indifferent to it. Simply put, Ancestor Ao Xiao could protect him.

As for the materials for refining the treasure, Xiao Wuji had already decided to use that fist-sized piece of Great Luo Silver Essence. Refining it with this material would at least allow it to grow into a Dao artifact in the future.

"Speaking of which, when can we go to Tianyuan City? The Hundred Meridians Refining Treasure Technique there should be ready to be revealed soon!"

As Xiao Wuji amassed more and more treasures, his desire for this method grew ever stronger. After all, he desperately wanted a supernatural ability to utilize his vast collection of divine weapons. The thought of refining all the sacred weapons into his very bones was exhilarating.
