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

Inside the Yuling Sect, the sect's Grand Elder felt inexplicably uneasy.

A month ago, the Core Formation cultivator responsible for monitoring the ancient teleportation array returned to report that the other end of the ancient teleportation array had been repaired.

Dongmen Tu was naturally excited when he first heard the news.

But now, more than a month has passed, and there is still no response from the ancient teleportation array.

The crucial Great Shift Order has yet to be found in any finished product, but Dongmen Tu has already discovered the method of its creation.

However, the materials used in its production have long since disappeared.

Even now, there is still no sign of teleporting over from the other side of the ancient teleportation array, which makes Dongmen Tu think of the threat left behind by Mu Yu from time to time.

Such a genius, who now appears to have reached the Nascent Soul stage, makes Dongmen Tu truly regret not killing him outright back then.

At that moment, a sound transmission talisman flew to Dongmen Tu's front, carrying the panicked voice of a Core Formation stage disciple.

"Elder, in the Northern Liang Kingdom region, nine Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the six sects of the former Yue Kingdom have openly trespassed into Yue Kingdom territory and are flying towards the Yu Ling Sect."

Nine? Apart from Nangong Wan, the newly advanced Nascent Soul cultivator from the Hidden Moon Sect, has another Nascent Soul stage expert emerged from the six sects of Yue Kingdom?

For some reason, the image that appeared in Dongmen Tu's mind at this moment was none other than the departing figure of Mu Yu.

There was no time to think too much. The sudden attack by so many Nascent Soul stage cultivators was definitely not well-intentioned.

Dongmen Tu immediately summoned all the Nascent Soul stage cultivators within his sect and also sent the message to other demonic sects.

With the current strength of the Yuling Sect, dealing with these nine Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Yue Kingdom should not be too difficult.

Not to mention, by simply delaying for a while, they can wait for reinforcements from other sects of the demonic path.

Therefore, Dongmen Tu remained completely calm at this time.

However, as time went on, when Dongmen Tu saw Mu Yu's figure among the nine Nascent Soul stage cultivators, he had already sensed that something was amiss.

Is there another exit at the location of that ancient teleportation array?

"Senior Dongmen Tu, after I achieved Nascent Soul stage, I have come to find you as promised."

With a flap of his Thunder Wind Wings, Mu Yu transformed into a golden light and vanished...

The next moment, accompanied by a thunderous roar, Mu Yu's figure appeared in front of Dongmen Tu in an extremely eerie manner.

The two locked eyes, their gazes flashing with a chilling killing intent.

"Lightning Release Technique... is this what you rely on?"

Dongmen Tu looked solemn, but on the surface he pretended to be indifferent.

Today, although all the Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the six major sects of Yue Kingdom have come, the Yu Ling Sect is not afraid of them.

With the strength of the Yuling Sect, it is more than capable of dealing with this enemy, not to mention that other demonic sects will be sending reinforcements.

"Relying on it... well, you could say that, since I still need this thing to escape."

"However, the reason I came here today to cause trouble for your Spirit Control Sect is not because of a mere lightning escape technique."

Mu Yu spoke calmly, and twenty-five puppets emanating Nascent Soul stage energy appeared silently behind him.

Even with Dongmen Tu's mid-stage Nascent Soul level spiritual power, he still couldn't confirm where these puppets suddenly appeared from.

If these puppets were to suddenly hide and launch a sneak attack during a battle, just like before, even he wouldn't gain any advantage.

Not to mention, the sheer number of twenty-five Nascent Soul stage puppets alone is enough to rival the deterrent power of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

"With so many Nascent Soul stage puppets, could it be that you, fellow Daoist, have obtained the inheritance of the Great Evolution Divine Lord from the far west?"

"While this puppet is excellent, cultivators must still prioritize their own cultivation!"

Upon seeing those Nascent Soul stage puppets, Dongmen Tu was naturally somewhat flustered.

But then, Dongmen Tu realized another possibility. A teleportation sword appeared in his hand, and he flew straight toward the location of the Hehuan Sect.

Mu Yu noticed the direction the teleportation sword was heading, but he didn't care and had no intention of stopping it.

To truly gain a foothold in Tiannan, those three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators are an insurmountable obstacle, people one must confront.

Now, although Mu Yu is not confident in defeating a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he is still somewhat confident in escaping from the opponent's clutches.

"Did you go to inform the Old Demon of Hehuan? Well then... let's wait a while."

Mu Yu had no intention of making a move. Tiannan was different from the Chaotic Star Sea; it was extremely rare for Nascent Soul cultivators to fight to the death in this place.

Even during the war between Yue Kingdom and other kingdoms to seize territory, no Nascent Soul stage cultivator ever perished.

With Mu Yu's current combat strength, killing several cultivators of the same level in an instant is no problem.

He did want to launch a surprise attack and kill a few Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Spirit Control Sect to establish his authority.

But once this precedent is set, Huangfeng Valley will become the target of everyone's attacks and will be targeted by all forces.

Therefore, after Mu Yu returned to Tiannan, he had to follow this rule when dealing with these issues between sects.

People who don't follow the rules won't live long in Tiannan.

In the history of Tiannan, there have even been cases of Nascent Soul stage cultivators being besieged and killed.

Of course, no one knows for sure whether the Nascent Soul stage cultivator is dead or not; he may have gone into hiding. But in the legends of Tiannan, that Nascent Soul stage cultivator is indeed dead.

Therefore, Mu Yu naturally did not want to incur public wrath. It was just a mere Dongmen Tu; there was no need to get himself into even greater trouble.

He didn't really care about these things, but he was no longer a rogue cultivator and couldn't act the same way he did back in the Chaotic Star Sea, otherwise Huangfeng Valley would be targeted.

If Huangfeng Valley is targeted, trouble will reach Mu Yu, affecting his entire plan and delaying his cultivation time.

As for danger, there is no danger. Even if she is hunted down by the entire Tiannan region, Mu Yu, who has the talent to avoid danger, can still escape.

Just follow the rules. A few Nascent Soul stage cultivators will have a chat, spar a bit, and then they'll take back the Yue Kingdom.

Then it depends on whether the Spirit Control Sect knows what's good for them. If they can offer what they want as compensation, then the previous matter will be forgiven. If not...

Dongmen Tu will have to be careful when he leaves the Yuling Sect.

……

Seeing Mu Yu's actions, Dongmen Tu felt much more at ease.

He was genuinely afraid that Mu Yu, who had just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, was a hothead. Given the current strength of the forces surrounding the Yu Ling Sect, if a major battle broke out, the Yu Ling Sect would suffer heavy losses, even if it wasn't destroyed.

Even if twenty-five Nascent Soul stage puppets are not as good as twenty Nascent Soul stage cultivators, they are still comparable to seventeen or eighteen.

There's absolutely no way to win!

If we could have a talk, that would be wonderful.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, what exactly is your intention in coming to my Yuling Sect to cause trouble?"

"If you push me too far, then I will have to reveal the secret of your ancient teleportation array."

Dongmen Tu secretly transmitted his voice to Mu Yu, clearly indicating that there were some things he dared not say openly.

After hearing Dongmen Tu's telepathic message, Mu Yu smiled slightly and replied in kind:

"I have three purposes for coming to the Yuling Sect. The first is to announce my existence to the entire Tiannan region, so as to prevent some Tom, Dick, or Harry from coming to cause trouble."

"And the second one, naturally, is to reclaim the Yue Kingdom's territory that was once taken away by the demonic path."

"After all... the environment in the Northern Liang Kingdom is indeed a bit poor."

"As for the last objective..."

"I have long heard of the Five Elements Spiritual Infants of the Yuling Sect. I need... five, no! I need six Five Elements Spiritual Infants. As for the items I will exchange them for, please feel free to name them."

Dongmen Tu didn't seem to care much when he heard the first two conditions.

In the cultivation world, strength is paramount. It's perfectly normal for Huangfeng Valley and the six sects of Yue Kingdom to want to reclaim their territory now that they are powerful.

Even if the Yuling Sect returns the Yue Kingdom, it can still obtain some compensation from other demonic sects.

But Mu Yu's last condition struck at the heart of the Yu Ling Sect, a condition that Dongmen Tu would never agree to.

What's worse is that the Five Elements Spiritual Infants in the Yuling Sect had only recently gathered all five elements, and now they've already been targeted.

Could there be a spy within the sect?

"Fellow Daoist Mu, do you really think you have us cornered?"

Dongmen Tu suppressed his anger and continued to transmit his voice.

Regardless of whether such a deal is agreed upon, the fact that the Yuling Sect possesses Five Elements Spiritual Infants is something that cannot be openly discussed.

Mu Yu's face remained indifferent, completely disregarding Dongmen Tu in front of him.

In Dongmen Tu's eyes, he had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and was just a lucky guy who had obtained a lot of Nascent Soul stage puppets.

But for Mu Yu, this meant entering a new realm. He was now basically safe and secure in the human world.

"It's not exactly taking advantage of them, it's just a fair trade."

"Your so-called Five Elements Spiritual Infant wasted five geniuses at the Core Formation stage, and in the end, you could only refine five Nascent Soul stage cultivators with lifespans of only two or three hundred years."

"But if it were replaced with the same number of Nascent Soul stage puppets, it would be a completely different story. These are treasures that can be passed down through generations."

Mu Yu continued to persuade them; the two of them didn't seem like they were about to fight to the death at all.

As for the cultivators from the six sects of Yue Kingdom who came to support them, they were naturally not surprised by this situation.

The latest update is now live and awaits your interpretation.

What territory, what sect, etc.

For the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of Tiannan, nothing is more important than their own lives, so many things are open to discussion.

Of course... the premise is that the interests involved shouldn't be too great.

For example, Mu Yu now is, in Dongmen Tu's view, a big gift package prepared for the Hehuan Old Demon. After the Hehuan Old Demon arrives, the Yuling Sect might also get some of the spoils.

Therefore, Dongmen Tu was also happy to bargain with Mu Yu.

"How can a puppet, an inanimate object, be compared to a human being, unless you are willing to hand over more than half of your Nascent Soul stage puppets as a trade?"

Dongmen Tu's words seemed to suggest he was somewhat tempted, but he still demanded money in an outrageous manner.

But Mu Yu ignored him and stood quietly in the void, closing her eyes to rest.

As for the deal, we can discuss it after the Old Demon of Hehuan arrives.

……

Time passed without anyone knowing when Mu Yu suddenly looked in a certain direction. Immediately afterwards, the other Nascent Soul cultivators also felt the pressure unique to late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

The appearance of the Old Demon of Hehuan immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

"It's been a long time. Tiannan is truly producing a wealth of talented people these days."

The Old Demon of Hehuan spoke, then looked at the twenty-five Nascent Soul stage puppets behind Mu Yu.

With just one glance, the Old Demon of Hehuan couldn't take his eyes off him.

Although they had discussed it beforehand, Linghu Laozu was still somewhat worried when he saw the Hehuan Old Demon appear in person.

"As for talent... well, not really. He's just good at escaping."

With a flap of his Thunder Wind Wings, Mu Yu appeared only a few feet away from the Old Demon of Joyful Union.

For a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, this distance is practically the same as being face-to-face.

At the same time, the Nascent Soul stage puppets that had been following Mu Yu also disappeared like smoke before the eyes of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

This scene made Dongmen Tu nervous.

However, the old demon Hehuan was able to use his powerful divine sense to notice that the more than twenty puppets came to Mu Yu's side one by one, and then Mu Yu put them into his storage bag one by one.

"The Invisible Escape Technique of the Hidden Moon Sect—I never imagined that a technique whose highest level is only Core Formation could be used to such an extent by you, fellow Daoist."

"It seems I misjudged you when I called you a genius earlier."

The Old Demon of Hehuan did not rush to make a move, but instead adopted a very friendly attitude.

If it was just for these Nascent Soul stage puppets, he would have plenty of opportunities to act secretly in the future; there was no need to resort to violence in front of so many people.

Moreover, the trouble is with the Yuling Sect now, and has nothing to do with their Hehuan Sect. There is no need to offend people for the sake of the Yuling Sect.

In particular, this is a genius who appeared out of nowhere.

If such a suddenly emerging genius isn't suppressed immediately, the consequences could be quite troublesome.

After all, he, the Old Demon of the Joyful Union, is not alone.

"Fellow Daoist Hehuan is too kind. These are just some insignificant tricks. When it really comes down to it, these kinds of tricks are useless."

Mu Yu's expression was also calm, but there was no fear in his eyes when he looked at the Old Demon Hehuan.

After staring into Mu Yu's eyes for a long time, the Old Demon of Hehuan suddenly spoke:

"Give me the honor of discussing this today, how about we talk?"

Seeing this, Mu Yu smiled and said:

"Logically speaking, since Fellow Daoist Hehuan has spoken, I should naturally give him face."

"But I went through countless hardships to finally achieve Nascent Soul formation. No one knows about my abilities, and naturally no one cares."

"In that case, relying solely on those puppets puts me at a significant disadvantage in negotiations!"

"How about I have a match with Senior Dongmen Tu, and then we can discuss things based on the outcome?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the Nascent Soul stage cultivators present changed.

Judging from Mu Yu's words, could it be that even without relying on the puppet, he could easily face, or even defeat, Dongmen Tu, who is in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm?

Even the Old Demon of Hehuan was shocked by Mu Yu's arrogant remarks.

"As expected, young people are just full of vigor."

"With those twenty-five Nascent Soul stage puppets you have, Dongmen Tu alone cannot defeat you."

"You're... aren't you bullying me right in front of me?"

The Old Demon of Hehuan pretended not to understand the subtext in Mu Yu's words and probed a bit.

If this person has such combat power after just advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, then it would be quite dangerous for him.

If possible, it's best to kill such a genius as soon as possible.

However, it is important to ensure a fatal blow. If you make an enemy and fail to kill them, the Hehuan Sect will face some trouble in the future.

"Fellow Daoist Hehuan misunderstands. Since it is a fair battle, I will naturally not rely on the power of those Nascent Soul stage puppets."

"After all, these things are not easy to deal with. If I lose one or two, I will be very heartbroken."

Mu Yu spoke calmly, vividly displaying the fearless spirit of a newborn calf.

Upon hearing this, Dongmen Tu felt a surge of anger welling up inside him, but he forcibly suppressed it.

We cannot take action, at least not now.

Dongmen Tu was also surprised that even in front of the Old Demon Hehuan, Mu Yu still dared to spout such nonsense.

"Oh? So confident? How about I test you out?"

The Old Demon of Hehuan narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke without any emotion.

Clearly, the Old Demon Hehuan was already somewhat angry at Mu Yu's disrespectful behavior.

If a Nascent Soul stage cultivator attacks a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, as long as it saves face, no one dares to say anything.

"Oh, so you're going to do it yourself, senior? I'm no match for you. I'll just have to try and escape."

Mu Yu was well aware of what the Hehuan Old Demon was thinking at this moment, but he was not worried.

In fact, the most crucial question now is whether Mu Yu can escape with his life from the hands of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

If possible, then everything is open to discussion.

Even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator wouldn't want to provoke such an unkillable troublesome opponent.

But if that's not possible, then Mu Yu's life will naturally be lost.

So, after speaking, Mu Yu flapped his Thunder Wind Wings behind him and disappeared into the wind.

"Wind Release? It does seem to have some advantage!"

The Old Demon of Hehuan sneered, then transformed into a cloud of black mist and gave chase.

The difference between the early and late stages of the Nascent Soul stage is roughly equivalent to the difference between the Core Formation stage and the Nascent Soul stage, and may even be greater.

Soon, Mu Yu, who was in the Wind Release, noticed the black mist that was rapidly chasing after him from behind.

"The speed at which a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator can escape is truly terrifying!"

Mu Yu smiled and spoke, then canceled the immature Wind Release technique. At the same time, with a trace of Evil-Repelling Divine Lightning injected into the Thunderwind Wings, the Thunder Release technique appeared almost seamlessly.

Behind them, the Old Demon of Hehuan had caught up. He was just about to make a move when he saw Mu Yu transform into a bolt of lightning, her speed increasing several times over, and she disappeared completely.

This speed is in no way inferior to the escape speed of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Huh, they even know Lightning Release!"

The Old Demon of Hehuan was somewhat surprised, but he did not think he could not catch up with his opponent. However, if the speed was like this, he could not be so leisurely.

The old demon Hehuan used some secret technique or magic weapon, and his flying speed increased even more, catching up again in the blink of an eye.

Clearly, the old demon Hehuan's escape technique was even faster than Mu Yu's lightning escape technique.

If this is all there is to it, then Mu Yu is not far from death.

"Even with the Thunderwind Wings activated at full power, it can't escape. Looks like I'll have to pay a price this time!"

"This old demon of the Joyous Union's speed is much faster than that of the Divine Master Mulan."

After saying a few words with emotion, Mu Yu quickly formed hand seals with his ten fingers, and his body flashed with azure light, bursting out with an extremely astonishing spiritual energy fluctuation.

The next moment, with a mouthful of blood spurting out, Mu Yu's entire body, along with the Thunder Wind Wings on his back, turned blood red, making him look like a demon.

"Fellow Daoist Hehuan, we've already run quite far, so I'll head back now."

"This move also took a toll on me. If you were to use it again after we return..."

"That would be a fight to the death!"

After Mu Yu finished speaking his harsh words, he used the Blood Shadow Escape technique, transforming into a streak of red light and disappearing in the blink of an eye in front of the Hehuan Old Demon.

If the Hehuan Old Demon can still catch up with Blood Shadow Escape and Lightning Escape, then Mu Yu will have to try the Wind and Lightning Combined Escape Technique.

When the Old Demon of Hehuan saw Mu Yu leaving, his expression was inscrutable, clearly indicating that he was pondering something.

Clearly, he couldn't catch up with that speed.

In other words, if the Old Demon of Hehuan didn't use some escape techniques that consume a lot of his life essence, he wouldn't be able to catch up.

"Judging from its appearance, it's a secret technique similar to the Blood Escape technique of the Demonic Path. This kind of technique usually consumes a lot of vital essence and blood. How dare they go back?"

"That means if this kid isn't an idiot, then he should still have a chance to escape from me again."

"If we can't kill him in one blow, this kid will surely become a great threat in the future!"

"Forget it, there's no need to cause this trouble because of the Spirit Control Sect."
