The mutual destruction was a result of his skillful use of the power of heaven and earth.
However, the cult leader had many tricks up his sleeve and managed to preserve a wisp of his soul, allowing him to linger on until now.
Then, through a series of coincidences, he was gradually guided to become Balth's advisor.
Now, the cult leader is gradually eroding Balth's heart.
If he succeeds, the cult leader can reappear in the world more than a thousand years later!
Even though Balth's body wasn't perfect.
But once the first step of possession is completed, the subsequent steps can be taken, just like back then, to find a body and improve it step by step.
"Hua Jingyun, I never expected you to still be active in this era."
"When you consume my power, I will make you pay it back, little by little."
His original plan was to instruct Balth to take the Spirit Tower, and then use the Spirit Tower to directly control Balth.
But unexpectedly, at the very moment of success, the Spirit Tower suddenly changed hands.
That was someone personally chosen by the Spirit Tower; he saw it very clearly!
The consumables that I never paid attention to back then are still no match for me now!
"This time, I'll see who's going to help you!"
……
"It suddenly feels a bit cold?"
Are you wearing too little clothing?
"I'm already a true cultivator, how could I possibly not be able to withstand this little bit of cold?"
Su Chen, who was walking on the mountain road, suddenly shivered.
Looking around, he saw that only Hua Jingyun was still by his side.
"The villagers seem to be talking about this area."
Su Chen found a piece of dead wood and plopped down on it.
Yesterday, while passing through a small mountain village, I overheard some villagers talking about ghosts and spirits in the mountains.
Hua Jingyun judged that there was a high possibility that relics or magical artifacts were hidden here.
Early this morning, the two of them headed into the mountains in the direction the villagers had indicated.
There is residual spiritual energy, but it is not obvious.
"Could they have misread it?"
"Maybe."
"You look for it first, I'll rest for a while."
Over the past few days, although Su Chen has been trying his best to restrain himself and not recall the memories of those two people.
But memories still pop into my mind from time to time.
It's hard to guard against!
This caused Su Chen to feel physically and mentally exhausted.
I don't want to do anything every day, and I can't do anything either.
"You spin around a few more times, I'm going to take a nap."
As Su Chen spoke, his snoring gradually began.
Hua Jingyun glanced at him and silently stood beside Su Chen, watching over him.
What...is troubling you?
Chapter 116 "I'll Wait for You to Change Your Mind"
Hua Jingyun was able to keenly perceive Su Chen's state.
Ever since leaving the capital, Su Chen seemed to have been depressed.
I don't know if it's because of Jiang Li, or something else.
"The changes in the world are becoming increasingly intense, and I hope to have the opportunity to find more useful things."
The spiritual energy in the world is gradually increasing.
After more than a thousand years of continuous decline, things are slowly getting better.
In the years before, Hua Jingyun rarely encountered relics or magical artifacts.
Since the increase in spiritual energy, the situation has improved significantly.
Things that were once hidden and buried are now constantly coming to light.
Su Chen slept very well, undisturbed by anything, and without any unwanted memories popping up.
Except... I dreamt of a game of chess.
Upon waking, Su Chen only remembered being engrossed in a game of chess in his dream. However, when he opened his eyes, he couldn't recall the specifics of the game.
When he turned around, Hua Jingyun was still by his side, never leaving.
"Did you find the item?" Su Chen asked casually.
There are none in the area.
We might need to go a little deeper, or perhaps return down the same way we came.
The spiritual and demonic energy in this mountain forest was not as dense as one might imagine.
Perhaps the villagers were simply mistaken; there are no ghosts or gods in the mountains.
"Let's walk a little further."
Anyway, the sun is still high in the sky…
After Su Chen finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have slept for a long time.
The sun was setting, and at this time, whether continuing into the mountains or returning the way we came, we would have to walk through the night for a while.
Why didn't you wake me up sooner?
"forget."
Hua Jingyun said calmly, as if she had truly forgotten.
Su Chen stretched.
"Let's keep going in."
"Since we're already here, let's help those villagers double-check everything."
Both of them were at the Qi Refining stage, and there was practically nothing in the world that could easily injure them.
The saying "it's not easy to walk at night" is only relative.
Hua Jingyun didn't say anything, but silently got up and followed.
The two continued their journey for several more hours, from dusk until late at night.
The spiritual energy within the mountains is unevenly distributed.
The valley seemed much denser than the mountain peaks.
In a valley where the villagers often frequented, Su Chen and his companion seemed to discover something different.
"The spiritual energy here is noticeably denser, and it's different from the gentle spiritual energy outside; it seems to have a certain degree of aggression?"
While Su Chen was analyzing, Hua Jingyun had already set off to search.
Although spiritual energy is collectively referred to as spiritual energy, it can be specifically divided into countless categories.
The only ones that can truly benefit ordinary people are the most gentle ones.
Strictly speaking, the spiritual energy in the valley cannot nourish the human body.
This is a type of spiritual energy belonging to the category of swords and blades.
For this type of cultivator, the spiritual energy in the valley is a true paradise.
"What are you looking for?"
"The spiritual energy here is quite abundant; we might be able to find magical artifacts like swords and knives."
Besides the general trend of heaven and earth, the environment also plays a role in the formation of spiritual energy.
The fact that so much spiritual energy related to swords and blades can be retained in the valley proves that there is a high probability that there are corresponding magical artifacts in the valley that are influencing this world.
"A magical artifact..."
Su Chen showed little interest.
If it's an ancient site, then it's worth exploring.
In this way, he could have a reasonable explanation for the various techniques he now possessed.
"There's a pond over there, I'd like to take a look."
Su Chen made up a random excuse to leave; magical artifacts like the Spirit Tower are extremely rare.
Even if it could be found in the valley, it would most likely not be of much use.
"This pool is really nice, crystal clear, and the fish look quite big."
Su Chen directly made a fishing rod by hand, tore a strip of cloth from his clothes, and shredded it into threads.
Regardless of the strength of the line, tie a freshly caught insect to it, attach a hand-rubbed wooden clip, and throw it directly into the water.
Under Su Chen's teasing, some fish actually took the bait.
"Dinner's sorted out for tonight!"
Su Chen was engrossed in fishing when he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him. Without turning around, he knew it was Hua Jingyun's footsteps.
"Did you find the magical artifact?"
