Cultivation of Immortality: This is what unorthodox methods are like.

The oxen and horses neighed as the monsters harnessed their carts and loaded them with provisions, armor, and other resources.

After loading the cart, the monsters whipped themselves, then shook their heads and tails and ran wildly towards Wulong Mountain.

Legendary cultivators such as Wang Quan each led a team of fighting cultivators, roaming around the caravan.

Meanwhile, the cultivators who fought also tricked some local soldiers into joining their ranks, using them as pawns and cannon fodder.

The grotto-heaven cultivators, along with seven or eight blessed land cultivators, dozens of Dharma Aspect cultivators, and hundreds of Nascent Soul cultivators, were stationed in the convoy.

Dongtian and several other cultivators from blessed lands stood on the carriage, bows drawn and arrows nocked, ready to shoot down any experts who dared to pursue them.

tread!tread!tread!

With hooves flying, the crowd ran.

Birdmen from the Great Qian Empire soared into the air and roared as they pursued them.

The cultivators from the grotto-heaven drew their bows and shot at the enemy.

Another group of men came in pursuit, and Wang Quan and his men, leading a large number of cannon fodder, attacked from all directions like vicious wolves.

At this moment, many cultivators no longer cared about whether someone was a prodigy or not.

They immediately used the magic power they had just cultivated to dismember and break bones, taking the opportunity to refine magical artifacts and spells such as the White Bone Banner, the Vengeful Soul Banner, and the Blood, Flesh, Thunder and Fire.

These magical artifacts and spells require simple materials but possess immense power.

Moreover, it has many advantages such as being transmitted from person to person, spreading rapidly, and quickly forming combat power.

Therefore, it is quite convenient for everyone to use.

Wang Quan also took the opportunity to refine a spell: Dead Man's Skin.

This spell can be mastered as long as you have skin, and theoretically there is no upper limit to its growth.

Previously, the king was too lazy to practice this magic because it required the skin of a dead person.

If the skin is peeled off a living creature, it cannot be refined because the original owner is not dead.

Moreover, there are many spells and artifacts that require dead human skin, and the materials are difficult to collect, so he has never practiced them.

But there's no need to consider that now.

They are now in the midst of history, and the number of cultivators engaged in combat is far too small compared to the Stone City.

However, there are more materials now.

That's why he practiced this magic.

More importantly, this spell's combat power develops quickly.

After hastily concocting over a dozen streams of magical power, he chanted incantations and then pointed at a corpse, saying, "Come!"

Stab it!

A crack appeared at the back of the corpse's head, and the human skin, like clothing, peeled off the corpse on its own.

The human skin moved on the ground, hopping and skipping behind Wang Quan, its eyes emitting red light, looking left and right with great curiosity.

Immediately afterwards, a cultivator shook the white bone banner and swept away the white bones.

Then another cultivator removed the five internal organs.

Some cultivators even used flesh and blood to refine lightning and fire.

Some cultivators also seized the large tendons to refine magical artifacts such as ropes for binding people.

Some cultivators collect the resentment and spirits of the dead and refine them into various long banners and flags.

Some cultivators collected the last breath of yin energy from the mouths of the dead and refined it into yin wind bags.

A corpse vanished without a trace in just a few breaths.

The cannon fodder pursued by the Great Qian Empire cried out in terror: "A monster!"

"Damn it, how come this team is full of prodigies?"

"escape!"

Whoosh!

The pursuers turned to flee, but it was too late.

A group of cultivators rushed forward and cleaned them up in less than half a cup of tea.

Even tattered armor was collected by cultivators, who would then use flames to hammer it, refine it into iron sand, and store it in gourds, waiting to release it to kill enemies.

The cultivators from the grotto-heavens and several blessed lands did not practice cultivation techniques.

They surveyed their surroundings, on guard against top-tier combat forces.

Thus, after killing three or four waves of pursuers, Wang Quan and his men escaped to a place three or four hundred miles away from Zijin Pass.

At that moment, a deafening explosion came from the direction of Zijin Pass.

Even from a great distance, everyone could see a mushroom cloud rising into the sky.

At the top of the mushroom cloud, two giants of unknown height were engaged in close combat, wielding weapons.

The cultivators in the grotto sighed, "Marshal Zijin is finished."

"Let's go to the next level: Black Gold Pass."

"According to historical records, the target followed the army to break through Zijin Pass, then entered Heijin Pass, followed by Baiyin Pass, Huangjin Pass, and finally Wulong Ridge."

"Historically, of these passes, only Zijin Pass held out for a little over two years; the rest only lasted a little over a year before collapsing."

"On the contrary, Wulongling, which had nothing, persisted for more than four years."

Wang Quan's heart stirred: "Historically, Zijin Pass held out for more than two years. What about us?"

"How long did we, the warriors of magic, hold out at Zijin Pass after our arrival?"

The cultivator's expression changed slightly: "A little over two years."

Wang Quan took a deep breath and said, "We can't even change this small part of history at Zijin Pass, so how can we change the overall trend?"

Upon hearing this, many cultivators' expressions changed slightly.

At this moment, a cultivator at the Blessed Land Realm laughed and said, "These are all minor issues."

"We're new here and don't know anything. We failed this time, but there's always next time."

"When history is rewritten next time, we will have the experience and will be able to easily change history."

Many cultivators nodded: "Indeed!"

"Just treat this as gathering information and passing the time."

Although everyone said they didn't care, they felt heavy-hearted, depressed, and uneasy.

As a result, everyone seized the time to practice their skills and cultivate their powers.

In order to improve their cultivation as quickly as possible, many fighting cultivators indiscriminately hunted down living beings along the way.

Whether it's spirits, demons, or native humans, whenever they encounter them, they immediately unleash a barrage of spells, breaking them down into various materials to become part of their own resources.

The team made frequent stops and starts, and after more than a month, they were not far from Heijin Pass.

However, the cultivator from the cave did not lead everyone to Black Gold Pass, but instead said, "Anyone who wants to go to Black Dragon Ridge can go to Black Dragon Ridge."

"I will arrange for two cultivators from blessed lands to escort you there."

Upon hearing this, many cultivators engaged in combat exclaimed, "I'll go to Wulong Ridge!"

"Anyway, the target will eventually appear at Wulong Ridge."

"Let's go to Wulong Ridge ahead of time to build a defensive fortress, cultivate our magical power, and improve our cultivation level."

"Once we recover to the Purple Mansion Realm, we can easily crush the [target]."

Many cultivators wanted to go to Wulong Ridge.

Wang Quan was actually willing to go.

If he were to go to Wulong Ridge, given his current abilities and skills, he could open up his Purple Mansion using ordinary methods in seven or eight years at most.

When he encounters Liu Yong, he will be confident that he can fight him without any help.

Unfortunately, the cultivators of the cave heavens allowed others to go to Wulong Ridge, but not legendary cultivators like Wang Quan.

Ultimately, nine out of ten cultivators went to Wulong Ridge.

The remaining cultivators wanted to try their luck at Black Gold Pass to see if they could take down their target. At the same time, they also wanted to gather information: if they failed this time, the information they gathered would be useful when history was reset next time.

Black Gold Pass is larger than Purple Gold Pass.

Before entering the pass, Wang Quan and others used the "Disorder of Separation" technique to cut off and store their magical power.

If needed in the future, we can release it directly for use.

After everyone entered the pass, Wang Quan immediately looked for Yu Wanzhou, but couldn't find her.

However, he learned from a legendary cultivator who stayed at Black Gold Pass that Yu Wanzhou had left last year with several cultivators from blessed lands, saying they were going to carry out a secret mission.

Accompanying Yu Wanzhou were seven or eight legendary cultivators.

They had only been stationed at Black Gold Pass for a little over a month when the mighty army of the Great Qian Empire marched in.
