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

After speeding along, Mu Yu returned to Tianxing City via the teleportation array on Silver Shark Island. After sending a communication talisman to Han Li, he immediately left Tianxing City.

There was nothing I could do; the ominous signs kept flashing, and I simply couldn't stay in Tianxing City any longer.

If it weren't for the vast distance between the Outer Star Sea and the Inner Star Sea, Mu Yu really wouldn't want to come to Tianxing City.

After spending some time traveling, Mu Yu successfully returned to the ancient teleportation array and completed its repairs.

Next, we will return to Tiannan.

Having skillfully navigated the formation set up by Elder Linghu, Mu Yu quietly advanced a distance until a market town appeared nearby, at which point he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the distance.

Our first destination, Maple Valley...

When Mu Yu arrived at Huangfeng Valley, the various sacred mountains there were already showing signs of decay.

Many disciples of the demonic path are busy constructing new buildings and similar structures.

Clearly, the six factions of Yue Kingdom failed in the face of the demonic invasion.

Even the spiritual veins that originally belonged to Huangfeng Valley have been damaged to some extent.

This place is probably one of the Ghost Spirit Sect's bases now?

After randomly grabbing a Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivator and interrogating him, Mu Yu discovered that the one who had occupied Yue Kingdom this time was not the Ghost Spirit Sect, but the Spirit Control Sect.

Was it because the Spirit Beast Mountain clan was wiped out...?

Heaven knows what the Yu Ling Sect came to Yue Kingdom for; anyway, almost the entire Yue Kingdom now belongs to the Yu Ling Sect.

As Mu Yu remembered, Huang Fenggu fled to the Northern Liang Kingdom.

As expected, nothing can change the overall trend!

What a mere Core Formation stage cultivator can do is far too limited. The power gap between the six sects of Yue Kingdom and the six sects of the Demonic Path is simply too vast.

Mu Yu shook his head and casually released a sword beam, killing the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Yu Ling Sect.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Yu continued flying towards the direction of the Northern Liang Kingdom.

……

It took Mu Yu a considerable amount of time to learn the exact location of Huangfeng Valley from a disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect.

When Mu Yu arrived in the vicinity, he happened to witness a fierce battle between the Core Formation stage cultivators of Huangfeng Valley and the local Core Formation stage cultivators.

Since the Core Formation stage cultivators from Huangfeng Valley had the upper hand, Mu Yu did not make any further moves.

A moment later, the local Core Formation stage cultivators fled in panic. Mu Yu thought for a moment, but still decided not to eliminate them completely.

This isn't the Chaotic Star Sea; if we make enemies here, it won't be a good thing for Yellow Maple Valley.

"Senior Brother Lei, Senior Brother Chen, Senior Sister Hongfu... It's been a long time."

Mu Yu revealed himself, startling the three Core Formation stage cultivators present.

Although Mu Yu was still some distance away from the three of them, this distance was practically negligible for a Core Formation cultivator.

Being approached silently by a cultivator of the same level is truly a terrifying thing.

"Mu...Junior Brother? You weren't here when we evacuated Yue Kingdom. I thought..."

Lei Wanhe spoke first, his words tinged with regret.

Clearly, for these Core Formation stage cultivators of Huangfeng Valley, leaving the Yue Kingdom where they had lived for hundreds of years and coming to the desolate wilderness of the Northern Liang Kingdom was truly a source of melancholy.

"Junior Brother's cultivation has actually reached the mid-stage of the Core Formation realm."

Hong Fu looked at Mu Yu with some surprise. Although more than 20 years had passed, due to the invasion of the demonic path and the trip to the Northern Liang Kingdom, the Core Formation stage cultivators in Huangfeng Valley were busy with many things, and it was already a blessing that their cultivation had not regressed.

"I only managed to obtain some resources by chance. Where is my master now? I have something to discuss with him."

Mu Yu smiled and got straight to the point.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a huge beam of light rushed out from inside the Yellow Maple Valley and appeared in front of Mu Yu in the blink of an eye.

"My good disciple, you're finally back. How was your trip?"

Linghu Patriarch looked at Mu Yu in front of him with delight, and the worries in his heart finally vanished at this moment.

Linghu Patriarch was constantly worried about releasing a Nascent Soul stage seedling, fearing that the promising seedling that Huangfeng Valley had painstakingly acquired would be lost outside.

"Fortunately, my natal magic weapon has been successfully crafted, but there are still some minor issues with its use, so I've come back to ask my master for guidance."

Actually, Mu Yu came back mainly for Xin Ruyin, but he couldn't say it directly.

More than twenty years have passed, and Xin Ruyin should have reached the Foundation Establishment stage by now, so her understanding of formations would naturally be stronger.

"Alright, alright! Hurry back to the sect. I've specially prepared a cave dwelling for you. Although it's not as good as the one in Yellow Maple Valley, it's still acceptable for this kind of place."

Linghu Patriarch chuckled, completely ignoring the other Core Formation stage cultivators nearby.

……

The cave dwelling that Ancestor Linghu prepared for Mu Yu in the Northern Liang Kingdom has a fairly good level of spiritual energy.

Although the spiritual veins here are not as strong as those of the former Yellow Maple Valley, the spiritual energy is not too low thanks to the array formation and the effects of several spiritual eye artifacts.

After briefly explaining the situation and general circumstances of the Chaotic Star Sea to Ancestor Linghu, Mu Yu released seventy-two Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords and engaged in a sparring session with Ancestor Linghu.

The final result was obvious: Mu Yu's Azure Origin Sword Formation was invincible at the Core Formation stage, but it had too many weaknesses that could be exploited at the Nascent Soul stage.

In short, it is simply impossible to fight against a Nascent Soul stage cultivator using the Azure Origin Sword Technique.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, Elder Linghu offered Mu Yu some targeted advice, which also gave Mu Yu some experience in escaping when fighting against Nascent Soul stage monsters.

That's all the help that Elder Linghu could offer Mu Yu.

Next, Mu Yu took out twenty Core Formation stage puppets from the one hundred and twenty-three Core Formation stage puppets, and also took out a storage bag full of mid-grade spirit stones, as well as other items similar to demon cores, and gave them to the sect.

Such a large windfall has greatly improved the current predicament of Huangfeng Valley.

Of course, Mu Yu's request wasn't without conditions.

In the following period, Patriarch Linghu personally went to the other five sects to exchange for the sword techniques and cultivation methods left behind by the Xuanjian Sect.

Meanwhile, the other Core Formation stage cultivators of Yellow Maple Valley frequently went out to markets, shops, trade fairs, friends' homes, and even some mortal martial arts sects.

They searched for various sword techniques, sword skills, as well as records of formations, incomplete formations, and restrictions for Mu Yu.

There are no such things as a pushover in this world.

Since Mu Yu has brought out so many good things, it's natural that the fellow disciples of Huangfeng Valley will need to put in some effort.

Otherwise, that money would become the bargaining chip for Mu Yu and Huang Feng Valley to completely sever ties.

Mu Yu let the entire Yellow Maple Valley work for him, while he himself went to Xin Ruyin's cave.

Just seeing the protective array outside Xin Ruyin's cave, Mu Yu felt that his trip should not be disappointing.

Xin Ruyin truly lives up to her reputation as the strongest formation genius in Mu Yu's memory. If it weren't for the limitations of the Dragon Roar Physique, Huangfeng Valley would never have been able to contain this true dragon.
