Mortal: Even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, I still have to try and get my hands on the Little Gree

They had already handed over the method for cultivating mature Gold-Eating Insects.

It's one thing that the other party is unwilling to hand over the gold-devouring insects they promised to return, but why are they also unwilling to return the sacred beast?

They had seen many people who broke their promises, but such unbridled behavior was truly rare.

"When did I ever promise to give you this so-called Celestial Beast?"

"Looks like nobody believed what I just said."

"Never mind, it doesn't matter."

"If you want to fight, then keep fighting!"

Mu Yu's words silenced everyone.

Just now, Mu Yu did say first that he would not return the sacred beast, and then threatened that he would wait until he advanced to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm and obtained the jade slip. He only promised not to seek revenge and to wipe the slate clean.

Originally, the cultivator surnamed Hu thought that Mu Yu would take a different attitude because of the goodwill he showed, but he never expected to be taken advantage of.

But it doesn't matter. As long as we can kill the opponent, the method of cultivating mature Gold-Eating Insects will not be considered a leak.

If we can't kill him...

Does it make any difference whether or not the method for cultivating mature Gold-Eating Insects is given to us?

Let alone waiting for him to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, even if he manages to escape now, as long as he doesn't die, the Tuwu Clan will still have to provide him with the cultivation method for mature Gold-Devouring Insects.

Otherwise, if the other party is determined to destroy the Tianlan Grassland, no one can stop them.

Fine, let's try to kill the other party first.

If this doesn't work, then gather four late-stage cultivators and attack together!

"Fellow Daoist Mu, do you really think we can't do anything to you?"

"Don't think that you can rest easy just because you have the Heavenly Treasure."

"This is your last chance. Return the sacred beast to us, and everything else will be forgiven."

The words of the cultivator surnamed Hu were transmitted into the formation, but Mu Yu ignored them completely.

The monk surnamed Hu closed his eyes in resentment and struggled for a long time before he could calm himself down.

"Notify Fellow Daoist Sun to come, and everyone else... come too!"

"No matter what this person says, the sacred beast must not be lost!"

"Break the formation!!!"

Inside the Reversed Five Elements Formation, Mu Yu, who was meditating, felt the intense fluctuations emanating from the formation, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

The outermost layer of the array barrier was easily breached in front of two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, as a price, the two of them also successfully fell into this inverted Five Elements Formation.

Outside the formation, Mu Yu lacked the confidence to kill a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, but inside the formation…

Without the slightest hesitation, Mu Yu immediately used the teleportation technique of the Reversed Five Elements Formation to forcibly separate the three people who had entered the Reversed Five Elements Formation.

But something unexpected happened to Mu Yu. Although Mu Yu successfully moved the three people, they were moved together, meaning that the three people were never separated.

Mu Yu naturally has a way to deal with a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and there's no need to worry about letting the Nascent Soul escape while trapped in the formation.

But it would be very difficult if there were two, not to mention that there is also the Holy Maiden of Tianlan.

Mu Yu hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should take out the Yin Yang Five Fire Fan and try to unleash a four-fire combination on them.

However, after using her innate ability to sense good fortune and avoid misfortune, Mu Yu discovered that doing so might lead to minor misfortune.

Perhaps it's because the combination of four fires would harm me, or perhaps I would encounter danger after using up all my magic power?

After thinking it over, Mu Yu finally decided to give up.

After setting a self-destruct time for the Reversed Five Elements Formation, Mu Yu led Han Li and Nangong Wan away from the Reversed Five Elements Formation.

Outside, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators who suddenly appeared were roughly divided into two groups, one of which was still entangled with the nearly ten thousand demonic spirits released by Mu Yu.

The other wave was attempting to break through the formation.

When many cultivators cast spells together, the color of the barrier surrounding the formation changes every so often.

"If those two late-stage cultivators and Saintess Tianlan don't go in, this formation will probably only last for about an hour."

"I thought they would target my second nascent soul first."

Reaching out, Mu Yu summoned back the demonic nascent soul and took control of the Myriad Soul Banner.

Demonic artifacts are quite interesting. Although only demonic cultivators can unleash the true power of demonic energy, they do not reject the infusion of spiritual energy.

Just as Han Li can use the Blood Demon Sword, demonic artifacts can also be controlled with spiritual power, and there are basically no attribute restrictions.

Therefore, when Mu Yu's spiritual power, which was already close to that of the late Nascent Soul stage, began to command, the attack power of nearly ten thousand demon spirits directly increased to a higher level.

Just like a Core Formation stage puppet, the power it can unleash in the hands of a Core Formation stage practitioner is completely different from that in the hands of a Nascent Soul stage practitioner.

After receiving the Demonic Dragon Blade from Han Li, Mu Yu threw it directly to the Demonic Nascent Soul cultivator.

The demonic nascent soul reluctantly accepted the demonic dragon blade, then took out another drop of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk to restore its mana.

"Hopefully this blow will hurt you."

As Mu Yu murmured, the overwhelming tacit understanding gradually changed, and the positions of the nearly ten thousand demon spirits seemed to have also changed.

When some demonic spirits spontaneously transform into the core of the array, it is also a sign that the auras of some demonic spirits are interconnected.

"Oh no, it's a demonic array... Hurry, this isn't an ordinary demonic tide, we have to get out before this demonic array completes."

"Otherwise, we'll all die here!"

A Tuwu cultivator at the mid-Nascent Soul stage suddenly spoke with a tense expression, but the next moment a dark red blood-red blade tip emerged from his chest.

After the Demonic Dragon Blade entered his body, all his essence, blood, and cultivation were absorbed by it. This mid-Nascent Soul cultivator from the Tuwu tribe could only immediately use Nascent Soul Exit Technique to try to escape with his life.

It wasn't until the Nascent Soul left his body that he realized that the one who had ambushed him was actually a Nascent Soul.

Just moments ago, the demonic nascent soul wielding the Demonic Dragon Blade used Nascent Soul Teleportation to appear behind him and stabbed into him.

Nascent Soul teleportation is the most powerful divine ability of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and also a life-saving divine ability for all Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

But Mu Yu used it as a means of attack.

There's no way around it, even though it consumes a lot of power, it's just too useful.

The teleportation speed of this demonic nascent soul is almost faster than lightning escape techniques, and because of its nascent soul body, it is not easy for others to detect it.

After each such battle, the Nascent Soul cultivator needs a long time to recover its energy.

But that's not important!

Holding the Myriad Soul Banner, Mu Yu immediately absorbed the Nascent Soul of the mid-Nascent Soul cultivator into it and sealed it away.

Immediately afterwards, he relentlessly urged the Nascent Soul cultivator to continue working.

"You know, you'll experience that feeling of your vital essence draining away soon, right?"

The Nascent Soul cultivator complained to himself helplessly for a moment, then could only continue working.

Although Nascent Soul teleportation is a powerful supernatural ability, it consumes a great deal of energy, and it is not impossible for the Nascent Soul to dissipate if one is not careful.

Normal Nascent Soul stage cultivators would never use it like this; it's basically used to escape.

Even a brief separation of the nascent soul like Wan Tianming's in the Void Heaven Palace was a huge risk, almost resulting in the destruction of the physical body.

But for the second Nascent Soul, it doesn't matter much.

Nearly ten thousand demonic spirits were forming an array in front, while Mu Yu's demonic nascent soul was frantically using nascent soul teleportation to pursue and kill them from behind.

Almost every time the Nascent Soul cultivator used Nascent Soul Teleportation, he was able to kill a cultivator of the same level using the Demonic Dragon Blade in his hand.

However, occasionally, one might encounter those who have cultivated the Substitute Tribulation Technique, requiring one to kill them two or even three times.

Even so, the speed of this killing is already terrifying.

Han Li, who was watching the battle intently from the sidelines, had a look on his face that showed he had learned something. He also had some thoughts of trying out his newly refined second nascent soul.

However, Mu Yu's demonic nascent soul was able to kill so frantically mainly because of the power of the Demonic Dragon Blade.

The Blood Demon Flying Needles that Mu Yu crafted for Han Li were somewhat lacking in attack power and could not be used like the Demon Dragon Blade.

"It's almost time, we should go."

After acquiring eight more Nascent Souls, Mu Yu stopped attacking and began to collect the more than nine thousand demonic spirits.

It wasn't that he didn't want to continue the pursuit, but the situation didn't allow it.

Moreover, these Nascent Soul stage cultivators scattered in all directions, and it's really hard to know whether we should waste time chasing them.

The grand formation, which used thousands of demonic spirits to set up, ultimately failed to take full shape, which Mu Yu found somewhat regrettable.

Besides, Mu Yu could already sense that a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was approaching from afar.

The two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and the Heavenly Maiden Tianlan, who were trapped in the Reversed Five Elements Formation, were also about to break free of the formation.

I guess they must have used some kind of trump card, otherwise the Inverted Five Elements Formation, which was 90% complete, wouldn't have been so easy to break.

Mu Yu had Nangong Wan release the Nine Dragons Wind Chariot, and after quickly tidying up the battlefield, they immediately set off.

This time, Mu Yu pushed the speed of the Nine Dragons Wind Chariot to its limit, but the speed of this treasure is ultimately limited.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, three Nascent Soul stage late-stage Celestial Masters caught up.

The Great Five Elements Immortal-Capturing Hand made its appearance once again, directly seizing the Nine Dragons Wind Chariot.

The nine wind dragons roared angrily, but they were trapped in the giant five-colored hand and could not get out.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, please come out!"

"today……"

The cultivator surnamed Hu seemed to want to say something, but the purple-haired man who had just arrived frowned slightly and then suddenly cast a spell at the carriage of the Nine Dragons Wind Chariot.

"boom!"

The carriage shattered, revealing three Core Formation stage puppets that carried the auras of Mu Yu and the other two.

The moment these puppets appeared, they immediately self-destructed. The nine wind dragons exposed outside the vehicle let out a mournful cry and vanished into a ray of light...

It was comparable to the self-destruction of three Core Formation stage demonic beasts, but it was completely insignificant to these three late Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

But the anger of being mocked, and the consequences of the sacred beast's disappearance, were unbearable for them.

But at this very moment, news of the Mulan people's counterattack arrived.

If war breaks out, the three of them will have even less time to spare.

Ultimately, after discussion, the three made a very unusual decision.

The Tuwu tribe abandoned the part of the Mulan Grassland territory they had occupied and devoted all their strength to hunting down Mu Yu and his companions.

This is a huge gamble; if they lose, the entire Tuwu tribe will never recover.

But if they win the gamble, the Tuwu tribe will become the number one power in the human realm.

Two heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, and at least tens of thousands of gold-devouring insects.

Mu Yu only released a few thousand, but the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Tuwu clan estimated that there were tens of thousands based on the size of the spirit beast pouches.

……

Mu Yu, who was hiding in a Tuwu tribe, was currently recovering his magical power.

Although the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk replenished his mana in the previous battle, Mu Yu's divine sense could not recover quickly.

At the same time, the successive use of several powerful spiritual treasures put great pressure on Mu Yu's nascent soul, which needed time to alleviate.

Although this pressure doesn't count as an injury, Mu Yu still needs to minimize the number of times she takes action in order not to affect the development of her Nascent Soul.

Although mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators are somewhat stronger than early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, they are still far inferior to late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Thus, Mu Yu and the other two rested here for about a month.

During this period, Mu Yu crafted a cloak-type magical artifact for Nangong Wan.

However, due to limited materials, this treasure does not have any special escape techniques, and its maximum speed is only comparable to that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, Nangong Wan actually possessed some precious ethereal jade.

Therefore, this treasure has a very good concealment effect, which is basically comparable to the spirit concealment gauze made by Mu Yu.

You should know that this is a magical artifact that allows for flight.

That day, Mu Yu and the other two each wore a spirit-concealing veil and slowly escaped from under the noses of the three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Although the Nine Dragons Wind Chariot was destroyed, Mu Yu acquired all the belongings of more than a dozen Nascent Soul stage cultivators, as well as the method for cultivating Gold Devouring Insects, the Heavenly Azure Sacred Beast, and so on.

This deal is a great deal!

After giving the newly crafted cloak to Nangong Wan, Nangong Wan named it the Flowing Cloud Illusion Cloak and then somewhat embarrassedly refined it.

At this moment, Nangong Wan also understood that among the three of them, she was the weakest and didn't have many supernatural abilities to use for escaping.

Although Nangong Wan believed she could defeat most opponents in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm thanks to the supernatural power of the Su Nu Reincarnation Technique.

But Mu Yu and Han Li are now facing enemies at the late Nascent Soul stage.

After the magic weapon was completed, the three continued their journey.

However, Mu Yu was much more low-key this time.

There's nothing we can do about it now; we can't be high-profile anymore, since the Kowloon Windmill has already been destroyed.

He didn't really like the Nine Dragons Wind Chariot, but he was still somewhat reluctant to have it destroyed.

But thinking about the dozen or so Nascent Souls inside the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, there was nothing to be reluctant about.

If it weren't for the urgent need to find that person and seize the Cold Marrow, Mu Yu would have really wanted to hide in the Mulan Grassland and kill some more Nascent Soul cultivators.

Now...

Forget it, it wouldn't be good if we attracted late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Based on his observations over this period, Mu Yu discovered that the three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators from the Tuwu tribe were inseparable from him, searching for him every day throughout the grasslands.

Moreover, they seemed to have mastered a special reconnaissance method. Although they always followed Mu Yu, they were always able to find out the general direction.

What puzzled Mu Yu was that he had not been discovered during the month he hid somewhere to recuperate, but was only caught up with when he continued his journey.

Finally, Mu Yu and his two companions were discovered near a checkpoint just before leaving the Mulan Grassland.

They were discovered by two early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, whom Mu Yu dealt with without much effort.

However, soon after, three Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Tuwu clan appeared behind Mu Yu and his companions.

This time, Mu Yu had no interest in getting entangled with them. He joined forces with Han Li to use Wind Escape, preparing to head directly to the Great Jin.

Unexpectedly, the cultivator surnamed Hu used a secret technique that greatly depleted his life essence, and caught up with him directly.

Mu Yu promptly activated the Yin-Yang Five Fire Fan, unleashing the three fires simultaneously: the ghost, the demon, and the monster fire, which transformed into a three-flame fire phoenix.

This time, the cultivator surnamed Hu did not have the fusion of the five elements' spiritual light from the Spirit Rhinoceros Peacock, so he could only use a few magic treasures to withstand the attack.

The distance was too close; there was no way to avoid it.

The cultivator surnamed Hu had no choice but to use his magic weapon to withstand the attack, but the magic weapon was easily torn to shreds by the white, blue, and black fire phoenix.

The distance was too close; there was no way to avoid it.

The cultivator surnamed Hu had no choice but to use his magic weapon to withstand the attack, but the magic weapon was easily torn to shreds by the white, blue, and black fire phoenix.

While the fusion of these three flames is good, their explosive power is somewhat lacking. Next time, I'll try adding cold flames.

Surprisingly, the cultivator surnamed Hu managed to escape with his life thanks to the defensive effects of several magical treasures.

Although he didn't die, he was already severely injured.

This place is too open; if it were a narrower area, this person would definitely not have survived.

However, Mu Yu was already quite satisfied with being able to severely injure a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, because he was delayed, he was eventually caught up by two other late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators who blocked his path.

This time, they won't give Mu Yu time to set up the formation.

"Are you sure you want to offend me for a fragment of a spirit king's soul?"

"Although I can't beat the three of you working together right now, it's absolutely impossible for you to capture me."

"If you push me too far, believe me, I'll blow you up with this!"

Mu Yu spoke somewhat impatiently, while taking out the counterfeit Immortal-Slaying Pearl.

But something that left Mu Yu speechless happened: it seemed that none of the three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in front of him could recognize this item.

"Return the sacred beast, or the three of us will hunt you down to the bitter end."

The purple-haired man spoke to stall for time, while the young man surnamed Xu and the Spirit Rhinoceros Peacock beside him actually joined forces to unleash a Five Elements Spiritual Light at Mu Yu.

Since there were only three people in front of him, Mu Yu didn't notice the sneak attack from the young man surnamed Xu.

But it doesn't matter. Although he didn't notice it, his talent sensed the anomaly.

This was the first time Mu Yu had ever triggered an ominous premonition during a battle. Without thinking, she immediately merged into the golden lightning arc and disappeared.

It wasn't until Mu Yu had gone quite far that the sneak attack by the young man surnamed Xu landed at the spot where Mu Yu had been standing.

The attack caused no damage.

This outcome was something the young man surnamed Xu had not anticipated.

At this moment, Mu Yu, who reappeared from the lightning, had a crazed killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"It seems I really gave you too many illusions."

"Today, one of you will surely die here!"
