Chapter 374: Blessing of Luck, the Profound Yellow World After a Hundred Years, Mortals

Grievous Soul Curse!

The very moment Zhu Longting, Mapingyang, and Shihongtu died, three streaks of blood-colored light rushed toward him, clinging to Zhou Sui like bone-deep gangrene.

But what kind of person was Zhou Sui? He had already lost count of how many times he had faced such situations, so naturally, it was impossible for him to be tainted by the Grievous Soul Curse.

He immediately brought out a Substitute Puppet, blocking this Bloodline Secret Technique.

Boom—

Following that, he waved his large hand, unleashing a Flame Art that instantly burned the corpses of Zhu Longting, Mapingyang, and Shihongtu into ashes, destroying the bodies and erasing all traces, while simultaneously clearing away the surrounding aura and various marks.

After finishing all this, Zhou Sui took the Storage Bags from the three of them, along with three mysterious black seeds, and with a flash of his figure, he returned to his own courtyard.

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

A moment later, the Dream Soul Gu finally digested the soul memories it had just obtained and finally understood what had happened.

"So that's how it is."

"Zhu Longting, Mapingyang, and Shihongtu were controlled by creatures of the Puppet Race."

"The Puppet Race wants to sow discord within the Human Race and create chaos."

"That is why they controlled Zhu Longting, Mapingyang, and Shihongtu, attempting to kidnap Bai Sujie."

"Regardless of whether this matter succeeded or failed, it would inevitably severely damage the three great Refining Void Families."

"Thereby achieving the goal of weakening Fengxi City."

"A good scheme, indeed."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes, revealing a trace of a Cold Glow.

Clearly, he could be considered to have happened upon the scene by chance, just happening to stumble upon the Puppet Race's plan and conspiracy.

Otherwise, they might have truly succeeded.

After all, this kind of method used by the Puppet Race was simply impossible to guard against.

Moreover, its secrecy was extremely high; if one did not find their true forms, one would likely not even know these people had been manipulated.

One would still think it was truly the work of the individuals themselves.

"The Puppet Race, hundreds of millions of years ago when in the Spirit World, was still a super-great race."

"Dozens of Great Vehicle Stage Cultivators had once been born within the race."

"They can parasitize other living beings, absorbing the souls and flesh of other creatures."

"They can even control the bodies of other creatures and enslave the other party's soul."

"During their prime, the Puppet Race once possessed the momentum to dominate the world."

"Later, the Puppet Race became arrogant and actually wanted to enslave True Spirits and control True Spirit Level creatures."

"Consequently, such actions completely enraged a True Spirit Heavenly Phoenix."

"This True Spirit Heavenly Phoenix took action personally, destroying the Puppet Race and killing dozens of the Puppet Race's Great Vehicle Stage Cultivators, as well as countless Heiti Stage Cultivators and Refining Void Cultivators."

"A former super-race was completely wiped out and destroyed in one fell swoop."

"The Puppet Race was even hunted down by the True Spirit Heavenly Phoenix, who issued an extermination order to kill the Puppet Race until not a single one remained."

"The result is imaginable; the Puppet Race became like rats crossing the street in the Spirit World, shouted at by everyone, suffering countless casualties."

"But the Puppet Race is the Puppet Race after all; facing such a desperate situation, the Puppet Race hid here and there, relying on special powers to break into pieces and enslave other creatures, still managing to hide."

"After all, when it comes to combat power, they naturally cannot compare to True Spirits, but when it comes to survival ability, even if the True Spirit Heavenly Phoenix wanted to wipe out all Puppet Race life completely, it was still an impossible task."

"Therefore, the Puppet Race still survived."

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.

He learned of the glorious and declining history of the Puppet Race from the memories of these two Puppet Race lives.

A former super-race, yet because they offended the True Spirit Heavenly Phoenix, they disintegrated instantly and vanished into smoke and dust.

From then on, they became like rats crossing the street, hiding here and there.

Later, that Heavenly Phoenix ascended to the Immortal World.

Afterward, the creatures hunting the Puppet Race became fewer and fewer, which finally allowed the Puppet Race to catch its breath.

To this day, after many years of recuperation, the Puppet Race has gradually shown a trend of revival.

They have even given birth to a Great Vehicle Realm Puppet Race creature.

However, the territory of the Puppet Race and the territory of the Human Race happen to overlap.

Over many years, the Human Race and the Puppet Race have fought incessantly, forging a blood feud between them.

Everyone wants to destroy the other, occupy this region, and become the absolute hegemon.

"The Puppet Race, a unique type of wood-element life."

"Equivalent to plant-type creatures."

"There is a Puppet Muzhu within the race."

"This tree is like a queen ant, capable of gestating a large number of puppet lives."

"Many puppet lives are born because of this; they themselves do not have much reproductive ability."

"When the Puppet Muzhu encounters danger, it can also split into many, many tree seeds."

"These tree seeds can temporarily lie dormant and grow at a later date."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He could perceive the formidable nature of the Puppet Race.

This kind of plant life can not only parasitize flesh-and-blood creatures but can also parasitize various plants, thereby stealing the power of other species to help itself grow rapidly.

Once it parasitizes other living beings, it can master the other party's power, enslave the other party's soul, obtain the other party's soul memories, and so on, allowing it to perfectly disguise itself as others and successfully hide.

That is why the Puppet Race was so terrifying in the past, existing like a natural disaster.

It is a pity that they encountered their nemesis, the True Spirit Heavenly Phoenix.

Flame creatures like these are the perfect counter to the Puppet Race.

Furthermore, their parasitic methods have no effect on them either; once they enter the body, they are instantly burned away.

Of course, against other races, the methods of the Puppet Race are still quite terrifying.

It is the kind that is simply impossible to guard against.

"The seeds left behind after a Puppet Race creature dies are called Puppet Seeds."

"Other Cultivators can refine Puppet Seeds to use as their own Dharma Treasure."

"Such Puppet Seeds can also be integrated into another person's body to then control them."

"But in reality, this also has hidden dangers."

"If one encounters a creature of the Puppet Race, they can seize control in a matter of minutes."

"Therefore, the Puppet Race does not worry about Puppet Seeds leaking out; on the contrary, they want them to spread constantly."

"What an evil species; no wonder everyone cries out to beat them."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He had obtained relevant intelligence from the memories of these Puppet Race creatures.

If not for the memories of these Puppet Race creatures, he would not have been able to know so much information.

However, since they are wood-type creatures, perhaps the power of the Medicine Gu will work on them.

It might even be possible to control these wood-type creatures.

By then, it would be hard to say who is controlling whom.

Perhaps he could even use the power of the Medicine Gu to directly control that Puppet Muzhu.

Afterwards, the entire Puppet Race would be under his control.

It must be said that this race is indeed incomparably evil.

The kind that makes one's hair stand on end.

But if it were in his own hands, it would be a powerful force, and it would be simply invincible.

"Hmm."

"As expected of a young master of a Refining Void Family."

"There are quite a few treasures on his person."

At this moment, Zhou Sui also opened the Storage Bags on Zhu Longting and the others.

He immediately sensed that the treasures inside the Storage Bags were simply dazzling.

First was the quantity of Top-grade Spirit Stones; each person actually had over 300,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones, and the three of them combined exceeded 1,000,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones.

This was an incredible fortune.

If these Top-grade Spirit Stones were taken out, one wouldn't even know how many Pills and Dharma Treasures could be bought.

If calculated according to the salary of a Dao Academy teacher, it would likely take 100,000 years to earn.

From this point, one can see just how meager the salary of a Dao Academy teacher is.

It is purely a case of free labor.

Of course, being a Dao Academy teacher also has a benefit, which is safety and a guaranteed income, without the need to go out into the wild to take risks.

"Hmm, this seems to be the Fifth-tier high-grade Pill, Dragon Tiger Pill."

"It is rumored that the medicinal power of this Pill is fierce, and it is one of the favorite Pills for Spirit Severing Perfection Cultivators."

"Taking one can increase at least a hundred years of cultivation."

"Now there are actually at least ten Dragon Tiger Pills."

"Although taking too many Pills will also produce drug resistance, with so many Dragon Tiger Pills, it can at least increase several hundred years of cultivation; these few are indeed wealthy."

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.

He also found ten Fifth-tier Pills in the Storage Bag.

Clearly, for a young master of a Refining Void Family, obtaining Fifth-tier high-grade Pills is actually not a difficult matter.

These people cultivate so quickly because they also borrowed the power of Pills.

If they relied solely on bitter cultivation, who knows how long it would take to reach the realm of Spirit Transformation Completion.

"Tsk tsk, is this a Sixth Rank Mishinfu? To kidnap Bai Sujie, the preparations were quite complete."

"There is also the Sixth Rank poison Dihuxiang, which can dissolve the Dharma Power within a Cultivator's body and intoxicate the primordial spirit."

"This is also a quite rare poison."

"It seems the Puppet Race really spent a fortune to cause internal strife in Fengxi City."

"Fortunately, these treasures have now fallen into my hands."

"It just so happens that I can give this poison to the Golden Light Myriad Poison Gu to eat; perhaps it can allow it to gestate one more type of deadly poison."

Zhou Sui was very satisfied.

He continued to search for treasures inside the Storage Bags.

Besides Spirit Stones and Pills, he also found many Fifth-tier materials, Fifth-tier Spirit Medicine, and so on; these are all treasures unique to the Spirit World and are of great value.

It is a pity that he did not find any cultivation methods, Secret Techniques, or the like.

After all, as long as one has Contribution Points, one can learn the cultivation methods and divine abilities of the Human Race at will.

There is absolutely no notion of keeping things secret like in the Ancient Era.

The Human Race now only fears that you won't learn, not that you will steal the knowledge.

It can be said that the Human Race has now exhausted every possible means to improve the strength of every Human Cultivator.

Therefore, many Human Cultivators basically do not carry any cultivation manuals on them.

Of course, it is not one hundred percent, just that it is very rare.

"Interesting, there are actually three Low-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasures."

"Are these all their life-bound Dharma Treasures?"

"It seems that in the Spirit World, Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasures are starting to become less valuable."

"To think one can find a whole bunch of them so easily."

"No, that can't be said either; some impoverished Cultivators still cannot afford Low-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasures."

"They are still using Upper Grade Spirit Treasures."

Zhou Sui also realized the value of the many treasures in the Spirit World.

For Cultivators, they generally use Low-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasures.

Refining Void Realm Cultivators use Mid-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasures.

Integration Realm Cultivators will use Upper Grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasures.

It can be said that for every rank a Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure ascends, its power undergoes a further leap.

It unleashes earth-shaking changes, with infinite mysteries.

However, it is a pity that these Low-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasures from Zhu Longting and the others cannot be used casually either.

Otherwise, they would definitely be traced back to him immediately.

"Karmic entanglement."

"It is said that the Human Race also has some practitioners of divination and fortune-telling."

"They can use various strange arts to deduce the true culprit."

"But such strange arts are only okay for calculating ordinary people."

"If one tries to calculate someone with heaven-defying Luck, that is purely courting death."

"They will inevitably suffer a backlash of Luck."

"Since ancient times, sorcerers have all died unnatural deaths."

"Not to mention, I have the power of the Luck Gu, which can conceal the heavenly secrets."

"Even if someone really tries to calculate me, it is just seeking their own destruction."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He thought about it carefully and found that he should not have left any omissions.

No matter how the Zhu Family and others investigate, it is impossible for them to find him.

Dong dong dong!!

Just at this moment, a series of crisp sounds of high heels stepping on the ground immediately came from outside the courtyard; the person had not yet arrived, but the crisp sound had.

"Young Master Zhou."

The person speaking was none other than Bai Sujie.

With a click, Zhou Sui's figure flashed, and he opened the courtyard gate; immediately, he saw Bai Sujie wearing a camisole, revealing her proud assets and rounded curves, a golden furry tail, and a pair of proud long legs.

Her golden furry ears were also shaking gently, looking very cute.

Under the moonlight, she looked stunningly beautiful, like a goddess of the moon.

"It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Zhou Sui said with annoyance.

He knew that this woman was clearly a little demoness, one who could only be looked at but not touched.

She was clearly here to tease him.

As a physically and mentally healthy man, how could he endure such a thing?

He simply wished he could take this woman right then and there.

"I don't know why I can't sleep tonight; I feel a bit restless, so I came to chat with you."

"But after seeing you, I feel much better."

Bai Sujie blinked her beautiful eyes.

Restless?!

Hearing this, Zhou Sui raised his eyebrows; he had a vague guess that perhaps this was a special instinct of the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox, or perhaps a life-bound divine ability, which was to avoid harm and seek advantage.

They could predict danger in advance and thus take precautions.

Perhaps Bai Sujie did indeed sense some danger, but she was not clear about it, and following her instinct, she came to Zhou Sui's side.

It must be said that as a top-tier bloodline of the Spirit World, the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox is indeed somewhat extraordinary.

"Alright, come in first."

"But don't you go messing around here."

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui also invited Bai Sujie into his courtyard.

Although he had indeed dealt with those few enemies, who knew if new enemies would appear tonight.

So it was better to keep Bai Sujie by his side to avoid any accidents.

"You are really too kind."

Hearing this, Bai Sujie was very excited and pounced on Zhou Sui like a rabbit.

She had no idea how astonishing her attraction to men was.

Zhou Sui also used great willpower to endure it.

It seemed tonight was indeed a difficult night to endure.

…………

At the same time.

The three major Refining Void Families—the Zhu Family, the Ma Family, and the Shi Family—discovered at almost the same time that the Soul Lamps of their eldest direct descendants had extinguished; their expressions changed drastically, and they immediately notified their respective Refining Void Old Ancestors.

Zhu Danyang, Shi Wencheng, and Ma Guofu are the three Refining Void Old Ancestors; upon hearing this news, they walked out of their Cave Abodes at the first opportunity, their expressions ugly to the extreme.

Because these three eldest legitimate sons were all the individuals with the most hope of ascending to Refining Void in the three Refining Void Families.

They belonged to the hope of the families.

But now, they have suddenly died.

For the three families, this is a fatal blow.

One must know that they themselves are nearing the end of their Longevity and could not live for much longer, and were just thinking that these descendants might successfully ascend to Refining Void and carry the banner of the family.

Who could have imagined that they would suddenly die.

And they died at the same time.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Why did Zhu Longting and the others suddenly die? What on earth happened?"

Zhu Danyang's expression was ugly to the extreme.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, we are also not very clear."

"The matter happened far too suddenly."

"And they were inside Fengxi City, not out in the wild."

"But they died suddenly, without even sending out a distress signal."

"Right now, we have no clues at all."

"Even if we want to find the murderer, there is nothing we can do."

Many Zhu Family disciples were also very helpless; they also did not know what had happened.

Everything was fine, but Zhu Longting suddenly vanished; it is truly inconceivable.

"Brother Zhu, it seems we can only use the Divination Art."

"The murderer acted very cautiously; I estimate they have long since destroyed the bodies and erased the traces."

"Even blaming others is of no use."

Shi Wencheng was also very angry.

But he also knew that even if he were angry now, it would be of no help.

The plan for now is to find the murderer as quickly as possible and take revenge.

"But the Divination Art goes against the Heavenly Dao; I fear it will consume Longevity."

Zhu Danyang said with some hesitation.

He is indeed a master of the Divination Art, but every time he divines, it requires the consumption of Longevity and causes great damage to his vitality.

If it were not necessary, he would not want to use this technique.

"Brother Zhu, we have no choice but to use it now."

"The eldest legitimate sons of our three families have died suddenly."

"Who knows if it was our mortal enemies who struck?"

"If we cannot find the murderer, we will have no peace of mind."

"Rest assured, we will give you sufficient compensation for the lifespan and vitality you lose."

"We will not let your efforts go to waste."

Ma Guofu said in a deep voice.

He felt that the person who killed their descendants was very likely an enemy of the three families.

Otherwise, there would be no reason for such a thing to happen.

"Fine, then I will try."

Zhu Danyang nodded; he also felt that such a guess was very reasonable.

Since the other two families also provided compensation, it was enough to make up for his loss this time.

Boom~~

Thinking of this, Zhu Danyang did not hesitate at all and immediately performed the Divination Art.

A mysterious power permeated from his body, seemingly communicating with the Heavenly Dao, using Primordial Spirit Power to perceive the infinite Causal Lines between heaven and earth to track the enemy's trail.

What?!

In an instant, Zhu Danyang's expression changed drastically, as if he had sensed something; a force of backlash instantly struck his body, and he could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

His entire body collapsed to the ground, his breath as thin as a thread.

Clearly, he had suffered unprecedented heavy damage, received the backlash of the Heavenly Dao, and both his Soul and body appeared covered in dense cracks, as if he were a candle flickering in the wind.

"Brother Zhu, what did you see?"

Seeing this scene, Shi Wencheng and Ma Guofu both asked impatiently.

"Big trouble, this is big trouble."

"The death of our children and grandchildren likely has a great connection to the Puppet Race."

Zhu Danyang's expression was ugly to the extreme.

"Could it be that our children and grandchildren were killed by the Puppet Race?"

Hearing this, Shi Wencheng and Ma Guofu found it hard to believe; if they were truly killed by the Puppet Race, then they would likely never be able to avenge this grudge.

After all, they had no way to charge into the Puppet Race to take revenge.

"That is correct, there is a very high possibility."

"It seems others were involved as well."

"But the murderer must be a member of the Puppet Race."

Zhu Danyang said decisively; he had full confidence in his Divination Art.

There is simply no possibility of error.

"I once heard before that many Transformation God Cultivators within Fengxi City had fallen victim to the Puppet Race. Could it be that the Puppet Race has also set their sights on our three great families?"

"What virtue or ability do our three great families possess to be actively targeted by the Puppet Race? I fear the Puppet Race's target this time is our Fengxi City. I believe you all know that Fengxi City is very close to the Puppet Race's base. Over the past thousand years, we have fought them countless times. I fear the Puppet Race truly wants to get serious this time."

"In other words, our three great families are merely collateral damage, caught in the war between the Puppet Race and the Human Race?"

"I fear that is indeed the case. After all, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact."

Zhu Danyang, Shi Wencheng, and Ma Guofu said gloomily, their complexions looking ugly to the extreme.

Clearly, their three great families had already been dragged into the vortex of the war between the two races.

"If that is truly the case, then what should we do? Should we leave Fengxi City?"

An Elder couldn't help but ask.

After all, only by escaping the vortex of war could the family survive.

In every war between races, no one knows how many people will die or be injured.

No one dares to guarantee that they will definitely survive.

If possible, he naturally wanted to leave this dangerous place.

"Foolish. Do you think you can just leave Fengxi City if you want to?"

"We signed a contract when we came to Fengxi City to pioneer."

"Within ten thousand years, we are not allowed to migrate from this city; otherwise, we must pay a huge amount in damages."

"We didn't get all these benefits for nothing."

Zhu Danyang said with annoyance.

"This!"

Many Elders fell silent. Although coming to Fengxi City to pioneer was indeed very dangerous, the benefits brought were quite astonishing. In just a short thousand years, the family had already added quite a few Transformation God Cultivators.

If they had stayed in the old-established cities before, how could they have obtained so many benefits?

They would have had no chance to get ahead at all.

But clearly, Fengxi City had offered so many incentives and given so many benefits.

They could not just leave casually either.

Otherwise, there would be no place for them within the entire Human Race.

"Large-scale migration is impossible now."

"But letting one or two people from the family leave is still possible."

"Make full preparations."

"We can only coexist or perish with Fengxi City."

"Report this matter upward first. In the war with the Puppet Race, we are merely a small force."

"We simply cannot get involved in it."

Zhu Danyang, Shi Wencheng, and Ma Guofu said in deep voices.

They had no other choice now.

Since the culprit was the Puppet Race, they naturally could not take revenge.

……

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed in an instant.

Xuanhuang World.

Ever since the Demon Race was wiped out, all demons were driven back to the Underground Demon Cave, and the entrance to the Underground Demon Cave was sealed, the Human Race naturally ushered in an unprecedented golden age.

As the strongest Transformation God sect of the current era, the Xuanhuang Sect naturally became the absolute hegemon of the Xuanhuang World without question.

Thus, the Xuanhuang Sect built Ancient Teleportation Arrays on each of the thirteen continents of the Xuanhuang World.

In this way, it facilitated the movement and communication between the various continents.

Of course, the person who arranged the Array Formations was a clone of Zhou Sui.

These thousands of clones remaining in the Xuanhuang World were all Transformation God Cultivators, naturally serving as top-tier labor.

With the help of these clones, the effect of the Xuanhuang Sect's transformation of the Xuanhuang World was quite astonishing.

At the same time, the thirteen continents were also renamed.

After all, these were all brand-new continents, naturally completely different from before.

They were named Yanzhou Dalu, Qingzhou Continent, Yuzhou Dalu, Xuzhou Continent, Jizhou Continent, Youzhou Continent, Bingzhou Dalu, Yangzhou Continent, Jingzhou Continent, Yizhou Continent, Liangzhou Continent, Jiaozhou Continent, and the Xuanhuang Continent, etc.

Except for the original four continents of the Immortal Cultivation World and the newly emerged Xuanhuang Continent, the other eight continents were once lands of the Ancient Demon World, inhabited by a large number of Monster Beasts.

However, due to the ravages of the demons, almost seventy percent or more of the Monster Beasts had been slaughtered by the demons.

Therefore, these continents were also empty.

In the last hundred years, quite a few Cultivator families had migrated to these continents.

After all, these continents were rich in resources and had not yet been developed by other cultivators; for those Cultivator families without any background, it was simply like heaven.

Naturally, it attracted a large number of Cultivator families to move in.

It is estimated that in another thousand or so years, these continents will be occupied by a large number of humans, establishing city after city.

…………

Qingzhou Continent, which was the former Eastern Wasteland Continent, in a certain place.

On a piece of wasteland, a huge black stone tablet stood upright. It was constructed from earth crystal stone and was extremely sturdy; even if it encountered wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, it would not suffer the slightest damage over ten thousand years.

This stone tablet was engraved with dense characters, and what was written on it was none other than the cultivation technique of the Xuanhuang Scripture.

Around the huge stone tablet, it was also covered with dense crowds of mortals.

They also looked at the Xuanhuang Scripture on the giant stone stele with great hunger and thirst, their eyes revealing an expression of excitement.

Among them was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy whose name was Wu Wubing.

He was an ordinary boy from the nearby Wu Family Village.

Because he was weak and sickly as a child and nearly died, his parents named him Wu Wubing, hoping that he would live his life without illness or disaster and grow up healthy.

He did not disappoint, and at the age of eight, his weak and sickly constitution suddenly changed.

He was no longer the sickly person he had been before.

Instead, he began to become incredibly strong.

By now, he could even wrestle a tiger and could be called the number one strongman of Wu Family Village.

But he was still not satisfied; he wanted to go further and even wanted to cultivate immortality.

Previously, there had been Cultivators who came to Wu Family Village to take on disciples.

But after some testing, he was found to be a mortal without a Spirit Root, and no matter what, he could not embark on the path of cultivation.

Wu Wubing was very desperate.

However, that Cultivator said that even without a Spirit Root, there was a certain chance to embark on the path of cultivation.

A hundred miles away from Wu Family Village, a stone stele had been erected, and the Xuanhuang Scripture was left upon it.

This was a supreme martial arts technique, rumored to have been left behind by the sect master of the strongest immortal sect in this world.

If one could cultivate this technique to the highest realm, one could enter the Dao through martial arts and condense a Spirit Root.

Thus, regardless of wind, rain, or danger, Wu Wubing traveled for several days before finally arriving here.

He also discovered that there were countless mortals who had the same idea as him.

When he arrived at this place, the area around the stone stele was already packed with a dense crowd of people.

Fortunately, this stone stele was large enough, resembling a mountain.

Even standing in the outer area, one could still see the full view of the Xuanhuang Scripture.

"Uncle, it is said that cultivating the Xuanhuang Scripture allows one to enter the Dao through martial arts, condense a Spirit Root, and embark on the path of cultivation. I wonder if it is true?" Wu Wubing asked curiously, looking at a very kind-looking uncle next to him.

"That's right, of course it's true."

"The Xuanhuang Scripture is said to be a supreme technique created by the Xuanhuang Ancestor, the Xuanhuang Sect Master of the immortal sect."

"Before the Xuanhuang Scripture appeared in the world, mortals without Spirit Roots could not cultivate at all."

"Cultivators were high and mighty, looking upon us as ants."

"Even if we struggled bitterly, we only had a hundred years of Longevity."

"How could that compare to those high and mighty immortals, who easily had hundreds or thousands of years of life."

That uncle said with great emotion.

Hundreds, thousands of years of life?!

Hearing this, Wu Wubing was fascinated and incredulous, because even the history of Wu Family Village did not span a thousand years, at most one or two hundred years.

In other words, the lifespan of immortals was longer than many dynasties.

Is this the legendary Cultivator?!

If their Longevity was so long, they were indeed no different from immortals.

"Isn't that so? If the Xuanhuang Ancestor hadn't pitied us mortals and created the Xuanhuang Scripture, I'm afraid we would have had no chance to embark on the path of cultivation and master extraordinary power."

"It is said that some Cultivator families felt that us mortals mastering power was an insult to Spirit Root Cultivators, and they even tried to destroy this stone stele to prevent mortals from cultivating the Xuanhuang Scripture."

"No way, these Cultivator families already possess powerful strength and long lifespans, yet they still wanted to stop us from cultivating and stop our path to the Dao?"

"Isn't that normal? If we also mastered the same power as Cultivators, then by what right could they remain high and mighty and occupy so many benefits? How could they be willing to watch us mortals also cultivate? Naturally, they wanted to monopolize the path to the Dao."

"If so, why wasn't this stone stele destroyed?"

"Naturally, it was because the Xuanhuang Sect issued an order and dispatched Disciples to severely punish those Cultivator families, killing one to warn a hundred, which is why those Cultivator families never dared to destroy this stone stele again, and we mortals finally had the chance to learn the Xuanhuang Scripture."

"That's right, after the Xuanhuang Scripture completely spread out, those Cultivator families knew that their obstruction was useless, and almost every household had this technique manual, so they gave up their struggle."

"Fortunately, there is the Xuanhuang Sect to suppress them, otherwise, where would we mortals have a day to get ahead."

The many mortals discussed among themselves, feeling deeply moved.

They were all grateful for the actions of the Xuanhuang Sect, which had truly opened up an unprecedented path for mortals, allowing everyone to cultivate and embark on the path of immortality.

It could be said that this also completely changed the landscape of the Immortal Cultivation World, causing a large number of powerhouses to be born in this world.

"Hehe, even if you really learn the Xuanhuang Scripture, don't think that you can really embark on the path of cultivation."

"You must know that the path of martial arts has four major realms: the Body Tempering Realm, the Acquired Realm Stage, the Innate Realm Stage, and the Wudao Zhendan Stage, etc. Every realm is extremely difficult to break through."

"Since the birth of the Xuanhuang Scripture, how many have truly been able to cultivate to the Wudao Zhendan Stage."

"Being able to cultivate to the Acquired Realm Stage is already not bad."

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a vest nearby sneered, pouring a bucket of cold water on everyone.

Because when he first started cultivating, he was also full of longing and confidence, thinking that he would surely become a high and mighty immortal in the future and gain a thousand years of Longevity.

But after decades, he was still only in the Acquired Realm Stage.

He didn't even know how far he was from the Innate Realm Stage.

He finally realized that his aptitude was limited, and it was impossible for him to become a high and mighty immortal in this life.

"That's not the way to put it."

"We cultivate the Xuanhuang Scripture not just to attain the Dao and become an immortal."

"It is also to strengthen our bodies."

"After all, the world is difficult now, with bandits running rampant and the flames of war flying everywhere; cultivating the Xuanhuang Scripture can also give us the power to fight so we don't die in the flames of war."

Someone nearby said quietly.

Hearing this, the people around also nodded in unison, all feeling the same way.

Although the Xuanhuang Sect did indeed unify the Xuanhuang World, it implemented a enfeoffment system.

After all, the Xuanhuang World is vast.

In terms of surface area, because the current Xuanhuang World is still in its growth phase, it naturally cannot compare to the Spirit World.

However, compared to the Immortal Cultivation World of the past, it is unknown how many times larger it has become.

With such a vast land, given the power of the Xuanhuang Sect, it is impossible to attend to every single matter.

As long as a certain degree of stability can be maintained, it is actually quite enough.

If a war that engulfs the entire world does not occur, the Xuanhuang Sect will not interfere.

Nor can it interfere.

Because there is not enough manpower.

The vast majority of regions are actually not under the control of the Xuanhuang Sect; they are all considered regions controlled by the localities themselves.

These places can all be considered autonomous regions.

Therefore, in order to fight for Spirit Veins, Spirit Medicine, territory, and so on, major forces will also frequently go to war.

This has also led to many mortals living difficult lives, frequently encountering the flames of war.

It is precisely because of this that mortals naturally also want to have the power of self-preservation, so as not to be killed by outside bandits.

"Well said."

Wu Wubing also deeply agreed and was very much in accord.

The reason he wanted to cultivate immortality was also because there were many bandits near Wu Family Village.

He did not know when Wu Family Village might encounter a bandit raid.

In order to master his own destiny, he wanted to cultivate immortality.

Now that he cannot cultivate immortality, he naturally wants to learn martial arts, so as to master powerful strength.

"To tell the truth, do we have a chance to join the Xuanhuang Sect?"

Someone asked curiously.

Because the Xuanhuang Sect is a sect famous throughout the world, with forces spread across every corner of the world; if one could join the Xuanhuang Sect, then the future path would likely be promising.

"Join the Xuanhuang Sect? Stop dreaming."

"Do you know what kind of sect the Xuanhuang Sect is?"

"There are countless immortal cultivation sects in the world."

"But only the Xuanhuang Sect is the strongest sect, the high and mighty superior sect that rules the entire world."

"Unless one is a peerless genius, wanting to join the Xuanhuang Sect is simply a fool's errand."

"Even among cultivators who have a Spirit Root, few can become a Disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect."

The middle-aged man wearing a vest sneered repeatedly, feeling that this group of people was simply indulging in wishful thinking; they were indeed a group of country folk who had no idea how big the world really was.

If these country folk knew what kind of sect the Xuanhuang Sect was, they would likely not even dare to say they wanted to join it; this is the fearlessness of the ignorant.

"That's right, and the Xuanhuang Sect is not on our Qingzhou Continent, but on the Xuanhuang Continent, which is an unknown number of ten thousand miles away; one needs to take an Ancient Teleportation Array to arrive."

"It is said that the Xuanhuang Continent is the true holy land for cultivation, the dream destination of countless immortal cultivators; that place is simply overflowing with wealth, where planting a little Spirit Medicine makes it grow rapidly, and planting a little grain yields one hundred thousand catties per mu; that place absolutely has no scenes of people starving to death, nor is there any war."

"Isn't that so? Anyone who has gone to the Xuanhuang Continent has never been willing to return; it's a pity I cannot afford the cost of the Xuanhuang Continent, otherwise I would have gone there to live too."

The crowd discussed among themselves, their words full of envy.

Unfortunately, for mortals, wanting to go to the Xuanhuang Continent is basically an impossible thing.

Let alone going to the Xuanhuang Continent, even going to a place ten thousand miles away is extremely difficult.

If one is not careful, one will die on the road.

After all, there are many bandits along the way, and it is hard to say one can guarantee one's own safety.

They can only talk about it; going is impossible, they simply cannot go.

"Forget it, forget it, saying these things is useless; it is still too far away for us."

"Rather than joining the Xuanhuang Sect, it would be better to join other immortal cultivation sects; the probability is still a bit higher."

"Let us continue to contemplate the Xuanhuang Scripture."

Someone waved their hand, feeling that these matters were truly too distant and had nothing to do with ordinary people.

In fact, even for cultivators with a Spirit Root, wanting to travel to the Xuanhuang Continent is an extremely difficult task.

Let alone ordinary mortals.

At this very moment, Wu Wubing had no interest in paying attention to what others were saying; his eyes were fixed on the huge black stone tablet, and the content of the Xuanhuang World poured into the depths of his consciousness like a tide.

At this time, he sat cross-legged on the ground, seemingly entering a state of epiphany.

Deep within his body, a mysterious bead was constantly emitting wisps of mysterious aura, helping him cultivate.

This mysterious bead was Wu Wubing's fortuitous encounter when he was a child.

At that time, he was playing on the mountain behind his home when suddenly, a meteorite fell from the sky, turning into a shooting star, and instantly struck his body; this mysterious bead then merged with him.

This bead is called the Taotie Bead, and it seems to be a mysterious exotic treasure.

As long as he consumes food and various heavenly treasures, the bead can release wisps of mysterious aura to strengthen his physique.

It is precisely because he obtained this exotic treasure that Wu Wubing has been free of illness and disaster, with strength like an ox.

Now that he is cultivating the Xuanhuang Scripture, this exotic treasure also seems to have produced an astonishing phenomenon.

Wisps of aura instantly merged into his body, helping him quickly enter a state of cultivation.

Rumble~~

At this very moment, the black stone tablet seemed to sense something; every character on it bloomed with golden light, as if a supreme scripture had emerged, extremely brilliant, covering a radius of ten thousand miles, vast and mighty.

It was as if, at this moment, the power of the stone tablet and the aura of Wu Wubing had resonated.

Dong!

The next second, a ray of light instantly flew out from the stone stele and then submerged into Wu Wubing's body, causing a golden pattern to appear between his eyebrows, which was extremely miraculous.
