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

"This place is Kunwu Mountain, a famous immortal mountain in ancient times. In addition, due to the influence of some restrictions, it is normal for the spiritual energy of this mountain to be relatively rich."

"Let's go, don't waste any more time."

Mu Yu gave a brief explanation and then set off up the mountain first.

Logically speaking, such a place must have many restrictions, and there may even be inexplicable dangers.

Han Li was actually somewhat worried about Mu Yu's reckless behavior.

But since Mu Yu had already scouted ahead, he naturally couldn't say anything more, and simply became more vigilant.

Nangong Wan, on the other hand, had long been accustomed to being a mere accessory.

Actually, at first, Nangong Wan was also somewhat unwilling.

But gradually, she realized that not to mention comparing herself to someone like Mu Yu, she was no longer even a match for Han Li.

She should have been the stronger one from the beginning.

But there's no way around it; among cultivators, strength is paramount, even between cultivation partners.

Fortunately, because Nangong Wan had decisively taken Han Li away before he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, she clearly defined the status between the two of them.

Otherwise, it's really hard to say what might happen.

After walking uphill for a while, Mu Yu successfully found a stone tablet with the words "Kunwu" written on it, and behind the stone tablet was a long set of steps.

"Indeed, this is Kunwu Mountain."

While Han Li was still sighing, Mu Yu used a Qingyuan sword beam to directly cleave open the back of the stone tablet and took out a small crystal tablet the size of a palm.

At first glance, this small crystal tablet appears to be made entirely of spirit stones, but only upon closer inspection can one discover its extraordinary nature.

"This is the Heavenly Crystal Tablet, a kind of backup method left behind by cultivators in ancient times. Although we may not be able to use it, we still need to get our hands on it."

Mu Yu gave a brief explanation and then put it into his storage bag.

Han Li and Nangong Wan wisely refrained from asking further questions and instead followed Mu Yu on their way.

Before long, the two encountered some formations.

Some of these formations were originally located on Kunwu Mountain, while others were set up by the Ye family royal family to buy time.

The restrictions on Kunwu Mountain were actually triggered by the Ye family in order to find the secret treasures within Kunwu Mountain and thus contend for supremacy in the Great Jin Dynasty.

The reason the Ye family was able to enter Kunwu Mountain smoothly was thanks to the ancient demon's split soul that escaped from the Fallen Demon Valley.

Mu Yu's current goal is to kill the ancient demon's divided soul before it sees the Yuan Sha divided soul.

Actually, it wouldn't have been a big deal not to kill him, but Mu Yu still felt that killing him would be safer.

Therefore, Mu Yu went all out, doing his best to break the formation in front of him, and even ignored a level 10 lion-like beast he encountered along the way.

After rushing as fast as he could, Mu Yu finally caught up with the Ye family and the ancient demon's divided soul in front of a huge illusion array.

"Phew, thank goodness. The timing was perfect. If it had been any later and you had gotten away, it would have been troublesome to catch you. I have to take care of you, this ancient demon, now."

Mu Yu's appearance before the Ye family naturally aroused their vigilance. The Ye family's big-headed freak and other Nascent Soul cultivators surrounded him, waiting for an order to launch an attack.

At this moment, the appearance of Han Li and Nangong Wan, who were following closely behind, made the faces of the Ye family members extremely ugly.

"How could it be so fast..."

"Quickly, tell me, is there anyone behind you?"

The strange man with the big head from the Ye family was already on the verge of collapse. It would have been one thing if the commotion of Kunwu Mountain's emergence had been a bit too much, but how could someone have appeared so quickly?

Could it be that the formations I set up on the road were all made of paper?

Mu Yu looked at the nine people and one demon in front of him with a calm expression, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

"A bunch of idiots, how dare they come into a place like Kunwu Mountain?"

"Do you know that even old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage dare not come to this kind of place?"

"You guys are really something, believing a monster and coming here to die."

"Fine, I'll give you one more chance. Except for that ancient demon, everyone else must disappear from my sight within three breaths, or you will all die..."

Mu Yu's words caused the nine Ye family cultivators present to fall into a brief silence, and for a moment they were not quite able to react.

But Mu Yu wouldn't give them time to think. After three breaths, he directly took out the Myriad Soul Banner.

In an instant, overwhelming demonic energy enveloped everyone, and more than nine thousand demonic spirits appeared out of thin air, forming a simple array according to predetermined positions.

At this moment, it was as if the demonic tide had reappeared.

Between the two of us, who is more like the Ancient Demon?

The ancient demon's divided soul knew Mu Yu's strength from the beginning, so the moment he appeared, it began to think about how to escape.

But after the appearance of the Myriad Soul Banner, the ancient demon could no longer resist.

There are only a handful of magical treasures of this caliber even in the Demon Realm!

If this treasure continues to grow, it is highly likely that it will dominate the demon realm in the future.

But the ancient demon was puzzled: what did he use to refine such a large number and of such high quality of magical treasures? How come they haven't been bursting yet?

What do you think?

Mu Yu's voice rang in the ancient demon's ears, and the ancient demon immediately revealed its true form with two heads and four arms, slashing behind it with several demonic weapons without hesitation.

But what finally came out was the sound of the demonic artifact shattering.

"The Demonic Dragon Blade... This is impossible! How could such a treasure still exist in this world?"

The ancient demon's divided soul was terrified. At this moment, he had no intention of continuing to fight. He transformed into a streak of blood light and disappeared into the illusion array in front of him.

Seeing that the ancient demon's divided soul was trying to escape, Mu Yu used his lightning escape technique to block the blood-red light.

At that moment, a scholar in white robes appeared in front of Mu Yu.

No matter how strong his combat power is, it doesn't change the fact that Mu Yu is still only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Therefore, when facing a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Mu Yu must be on full alert.

"Idiot, don't stop me!"

Mu Yu rebuked him, and with a flick of his wrist, the Demonic Dragon Blade arrived in the hand of the Demonic Nascent Soul cultivator.

Immediately afterwards, the Yin-Yang Five Fire Fan appeared in Mu Yu's hand. With a sudden wave, three firebirds of blue, green, and gray sprang out.

This time, Mu Yu used the power of the spirit of the Spirit Rhinoceros Peacock to enhance it, which gave the three-colored firebird that was fanned out a trace of sentience, and its size also became much smaller.

Faced with the three-colored firebird that Mu Yu summoned using the power of his spiritual treasure, the eldest elder of the Ye family naturally dared not be careless in the slightest and hurriedly activated his secret technique to dodge.

After forcing the Ye family's Grand Elder back with a single blow, Mu Yu didn't care how much damage this move had caused him. He used his Thunder Escape Technique again to chase after the ancient demon's split soul.

We must kill the ancient demon's split soul here, otherwise it will be troublesome if the Yuan Sha split soul breaks the seal.

With a single strike of the Azure Origin Sword, Mu Yu successfully prevented the ancient demon's divided soul from entering the illusion array. However, immediately afterward, Mu Yu was struck by a powerful magical artifact from behind.

Huh? What is Han Li doing? Didn't I give him the humanoid puppet?

After Mu Yu used the Thunder Escape Technique to dodge these attacks, she discovered that Han Li had already used the Great Geng Sword Formation, holding off three Nascent Soul stage experts in one go. Nangong Wan also used a secret technique to hold off a Ye family cultivator in the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

As for the humanoid puppet, it was currently engaged in battle with the big-headed monster.

In such a chaotic situation, it would be difficult for the demonic spirits within the Myriad Souls Banner to exert their influence in a short period of time.

After all, although the demon spirits are immortal, these Nascent Soul stage cultivators could simply hide for a while.

The power of a single demon spirit is still somewhat insufficient.

We need to add some soul-fusion techniques to the Myriad Soul Banner.

"Ugh, what a hassle!"

Mu Yu pulled out more than twenty Nascent Soul stage puppets to join the battle, and then summoned the Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain to block the way ahead.

Just then, the three-colored firebird that Mu Yu had just swatted out exploded, but it only caused some minor injuries to the Ye family's eldest elder.

Mu Yu was still somewhat disappointed that it was only a minor injury.

But aside from the minor injuries, several of his treasures were destroyed, so it's still barely acceptable.

For a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, achieving an instant kill with the combined three flames would be quite difficult.

Only after confirming his safety did Mu Yu begin to set up the Azure Origin Sword Formation.

The puppets that Mu Yu crafted were naturally not as agile as the humanoid puppets.

However, it can still be used as a shield to protect oneself. Even if it is just a turret-like puppet, it will not be destroyed in one hit.

The battlefield did not stop as Mu Yu set up the sword formation; on the contrary, the fighting became even more intense.

The Ye family cultivators were unaware that Mu Yu was setting up a sword formation, but the more than nine thousand demonic spirits within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner alone were enough to force them to fight with all their might to end the battle quickly.

After all, if they had been any slower, death would have been their only fate.

Only by ending the battle as soon as possible can one avoid the fate of exhausting one's spiritual power and dying in a demonic tide of this magnitude.

However, apart from Mu Yu, Han Li and Nangong Wan are not easy enemies to deal with, not to mention there is also a demonic Nascent Soul cultivator who appears and disappears unpredictably.

In short, when Mu Yu's Azure Origin Sword Formation was set up, the Demonic Nascent Soul cultivator had already killed three Ye family cultivators at the early Nascent Soul stage, and Han Li's Great Geng Sword Formation had also eliminated one.

At this moment, the Ye family only had one Nascent Soul stage cultivator left, who was trapped in Han Li's Great Geng Sword Formation and was not far from death.

"You died pretty quickly, huh? Remember to leave me my Nascent Soul."

Mu Yu took the three Nascent Souls from the Demonic Nascent Soul cultivator, skillfully affixed them with restrictive talismans, placed them in a jade box, and finally put them into a storage bag.

Han Li followed suit and used the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder to capture a Nascent Soul.

"The Myriad Soul Banner is still a bit too flashy. If it were truly a one-hit kill, would we still need to rely on the sword formation?"

As Mu Yu spoke with what sounded like a sigh, 648 cyan sword threads emerged from the sword formation and slashed towards the remaining Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Ye family.

Faced with such a number of sword lights, a trace of despair flashed in the eyes of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Ye family. They could only desperately use their trump cards to try to find a way out of this dead end.

But no matter what kind of magic or magical artifacts were used, they could not last more than a few breaths before being cut to pieces by the dense sword threads.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, spare our lives! The Ye family is willing to give everything, whether it be wealth, status, or even selling ourselves into slavery, just to beg you to spare our lives."

At this moment, the eldest elder of the Ye family, who was trapped inside the Azure Origin Sword Formation, finally could not hold on any longer and shouted loudly.

Their purpose in coming to Kunwu Mountain was naturally to revitalize the Ye family and restore the imperial family to the grandeur of the ancient dynasty.

But if all the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Ye family perish here, how can we talk about revitalizing the Ye family?

"Beg for mercy? Too bad it's too late!"

Mu Yu made a sword gesture, and the first target was the ancient demon's divided soul.

But when the blue sword threads tore through everything, leaving only a piece of mangled flesh, Mu Yu finally realized something was wrong.

The ancient demon blood flame's fragmented soul actually ran away right in front of me?

"No! He couldn't have run away on his own..."

Mu Yu released his divine sense and suddenly realized that the big-headed monster fighting the humanoid puppet seemed a little strange.

A sword pellet the size of a soybean appeared in Mu Yu's hand, and a cyan sword beam flew directly out from the Azure Origin Sword Formation, hitting the body of the big-headed monster.

As a hole appeared on his forehead, the next moment the demonic nascent soul wielded the Demonic Dragon Blade and slashed at it.

It was cut in two, but the remaining corpse looked quite strange.

"Clone technique...that's really fast!"

Mu Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he exuded an extremely strong killing intent.

Seemingly influenced by Mu Yu's killing intent, the layer of blood-red light on the Demon Dragon Blade became even more intense.

The battlefield was still too chaotic. If there were fewer people, Mu Yu should have noticed the escape of the ancient demon and the big-headed monster.

"boom!!!"

Shortly after Mu Yu killed the big-headed monster, the entire illusion array in front of him self-destructed.

Seeing this, Mu Yu sighed, but didn't seem to care too much.

The ancient demon's divided soul wasn't actually that important; Mu Yu only wanted to kill it to reduce some trouble.

Now that he has escaped, let's proceed according to the original plan.

This is good, saving Mu Yu from worrying about how to separate Yin Yue's other half of her soul from Yuan Sha's divided soul.

Mu Yu rummaged through his storage bag and found several restriction tokens. Without hesitation, he crushed the first one.

Shortly after Mu Yu crushed the token numbered one, Xiang Zhili, who had been waiting for a long time, sighed somewhat dejectedly and stepped into Kunwu Mountain.

Beside Xiang Zhili were Feng Laoguai and Hu Laomo, both Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

"That old man, he's so reluctant to experience that legendary, wondrous illusionary realm. I really want to go, but they won't let me!"

Old Man Feng smiled and spoke with great interest.

Meanwhile, Hu Laomo stared solemnly at Kunwu Mountain in front of him, a hint of struggle flashing deep in his eyes.

Seeing this, Old Monster Feng quickly reminded him, "Fellow Daoist Hu, don't even think about going to the Demon Realm anymore. That kind of place is not a place for human cultivators like us."

At this moment, Feng Laoguai couldn't help but curse Xiang Zhili in his heart. Why did this old guy have to call a demonic cultivator?

Could it be that they're afraid the ancient demons within Kunwu Mountain aren't enough to fight?

"No, I was just thinking about that kid from Tiannan..."

"I've heard a bit about his recent reputation. At first, I thought it was just another like-minded person popping up somewhere, but now..."

Upon hearing Hu Laomo's words, Feng Laoguai also had some other thoughts.

……

Mu Yu was unaware that two... or even three Nascent Soul stage cultivators had already developed some ideas about him.

However, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care at all.

As long as his innate talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune didn't give him any warning, Mu Yu didn't care at all about being targeted by Mahayana cultivators.

As for whether relying so heavily on one's talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune is a bad thing, what if that talent fails?

What to do? Then die!

If someone comes into this world and can't even trust their own talents, then they have nothing left to trust.

Although Mu Yu didn't really want to die, he was never afraid of death. After all, he had already died once, so everything he had now was actually a bonus.

Although Mu Yu didn't really want to die, he was never afraid of death. After all, he had already died once, so everything he had now was actually a bonus.

After sending a message to Xiang Zhili, instructing him to enter Kunwu Mountain, Mu Yu continued to control the Qingyuan Sword Formation, slaughtering the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Ye family in the battle.

From the Qingyuan Sword Formation, Mu Yu could already discern the immense power of Qingyuanzi's Great Geng Sword Formation.

It should be noted that although Mu Yu believed that the Qingyuan Sword Formation was no weaker than the Da Geng Sword Formation, he also knew that in terms of the power of the sword threads, it was still inferior to the golden sword threads condensed by the Da Geng Sword Formation.

Without the addition of Geng metal, the Qingyuan sword threads do not possess the attribute of sharpness; they are simply formed from condensed sword energy.

Of course, even if the power of a single sword thread is not as great, in terms of quantity and recovery speed, the Qingyuan Sword Formation still crushes the Da Geng Sword Formation.

One is a pure wood-attribute sword formation, and the other is a metal-attribute sword formation that relies on the power of Geng metal. They are two completely different concepts.

The Qingyuan Sword Formation may not be able to defeat cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, but it is sufficient to deal with powerful cultivators at the late Nascent Soul stage.

Even if one or two of the 648 sword threads are occasionally destroyed, they can quickly recover under the blessing of the Azure Origin Sword Formation.

The sheer number and endless regeneration are precisely what the wood-type sword formation excels at.

Now, Mu Yu has finally grasped the true essence of the wood-type sword formation and is not far from becoming a true sword cultivator.

After the Azure Origin Sword Formation had exhausted the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Ye family, Mu Yu did not continue to use the sword threads to kill them. Instead, he released the demonic Nascent Soul cultivator into the formation.

With the Nascent Soul Teleportation ability of the Demonic Nascent Soul cultivator, coupled with the Demonic Dragon Blade which was gradually showing its power, they could almost crush the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ye family who were already half-crippled.

Soon, three people died under the Demon Dragon Blade.

At this moment, seeing that all was lost, the eldest elder of the Ye family, in despair, prepared to self-destruct.

Mu Yu has a wealth of experience in dealing with this situation.

The Azure Origin Sword Pellet, the size of a soybean, was unleashed once more, instantly killing the target.

However, after this attack, the Azure Origin Sword Formation also exhausted its power, and the seventy-two Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords returned autonomously with great agility and entered Mu Yu's body.

Mu Yu toyed with the Qingyuan Sword Pill in his hand, feeling a pang of heartache at the loss of nearly half of its sword energy.

If we could have killed that ancient demon's split soul, that would have been fine, but it still managed to escape.

"Alright, let's go treasure hunting first."
