Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Having devoured an entire vein of Netherworld Origin, the Heavenly Sword Patriarch is already strong enough to display his peak combat power. Coupled with the 'Sun-Cutting Divine Sword' in his hand that is comparable to a celestial magical treasure, even a Mahayana powerhouse would not dare to take it head-on.

The only pity is that this peak state cannot last long, only about a quarter of an hour at most.

Although the Phantom Nine-Headed Wolf was a true spirit, its realm was still not high enough and it was impossible for it to be comparable to a strong man in the Mahayana period. In addition, after months of high-intensity fighting, the magic power in its body had long reached its limit.

Although it looks full of energy and as if it has fully recovered, it is actually an illusion. The essence is the result of it using its innate forbidden skills and overdrawing its own potential.

The mana obtained from the overdraft is far less abundant than imagined, and is also unable to last long. It is just that compared to the former, it can last for a longer period of time.

Don't underestimate this short recovery. In the current situation, both sides have reached their limits, and any change can be fatal.

If the Heavenly Sword Ancestor had not appeared, it would have been confident enough to win the battle and swallow all nine of those hateful guys in the process.

In this way, not only can the overdraft be made up, but one's own strength will also quickly recover to its original state.

Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes. No matter how well you plan, there will be unexpected events. With the addition of the Tiandao Patriarch, the situation is instantly reversed.

What made the Phantom Nine-Headed Wolf even more terrified was that the opponent's strength was far beyond its expectations, and just one strike of the sword made it fall into complete despair.

What a terrifying blow it was! Wherever it passed, the void was shattered, the sun and the moon lost their light, as if the surrounding heaven and earth were about to be swallowed up.

"I can't stop it!" This was the thought that instinctively arose in the mind of the Phantom Nine-Headed Wolf. In addition, he really couldn't see through the depth of the person in front of him, so he didn't hesitate at all and wanted to escape immediately.

Unfortunately, the distance between the two sides was too close, and he was still a step slow. With a shrill scream, four wolf heads were chopped off in an instant, including the largest main head.

This is definitely an unbearable blow!

However, it didn't care about these. Its huge body shrank to more than ten feet in an instant, and then turned into a black light and broke through the air, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, Tiandao Patriarch couldn't help but sigh.

He had long anticipated that the true spirit of heaven and earth was not so easy to kill. If the timing had not been too perfect and he had not been caught off guard, it would have been impossible for him to achieve such a huge victory.

The other side lost four heads, including the most core leader. It was definitely an unimaginable heavy blow. I am afraid they will never be able to recover in this lifetime.

As for catching up, it was not that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't.

The previous slash had already consumed most of the energy in his body. Continuing the pursuit was no longer feasible. Not to mention whether he could catch up, even if he did, he would not be able to launch the same attack again. It was completely unknown whether he could kill the opponent.

And this is just one of the reasons. You have to know that there are nine people in the fusion realm around, and they are not good friends with each other. Who knows if anyone will have bad intentions?
Isn't it a kind of restraint to let the Phantom Nine-Headed Wolf live?
In the current situation, preserving strength is the most important thing. As for whether the Phantom Nine-Headed Wolf is alive or dead, it is not important. The key is the master. Nothing can happen to the other party.

In just a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Tiandao Patriarch's mind, and he made the decision to give up the pursuit.

At this time, the nine powerful fusion realm masters around them finally recovered from their shock.

They thought that this stranger who suddenly appeared must be very powerful, but they did not expect him to be so strong. Could he be the legendary Mahayana master?

Thinking about it, it seems unlikely. How rare are the strong men in the Mahayana realm? How can it be so easy to see them? But the attack just now was too terrifying, which made people involuntarily speculate.

What is the origin of the other party?

Not to mention meeting, I've never even heard of it.

Did it come in from outside, or did it already exist inside the Cang Gu Realm, but was too low-key in the past and therefore never discovered?

There were too many questions in his mind, but now was not the time to dwell on them. The red-haired old man in the lead hurriedly reminded him:

"This opportunity cannot be missed. Fellow Daoist, you must not let that evil creature escape, otherwise there will be endless troubles, right?"

"I am not good at escaping and cannot be caught up." The Tiandao Patriarch shook his head slightly and gave a perfunctory reason, which immediately froze the expressions of the nine powerful men in the fusion realm present.

What is not good at escaping? It is obviously an excuse. With such strength, how could his escaping skills be bad? But thinking of the terrifying strength that the other party just showed, they did not have the courage to question it.

As for chasing, they did want to, but at the moment they were all almost exhausted, so they were powerless even if they wanted to!
Fortunately, the beast had four heads chopped off, including the most important one, which was an unimaginable blow. It was almost impossible to recover.

In this case, there is nothing to worry about. The most urgent thing is to recuperate first, and it will not be too late to deal with the opponent after the strength is restored.

Thinking of this, they suddenly realized another important thing, and then they all looked at the four huge chopped-off wolf heads not far ahead.

At this time, the four wolf heads had shrunk significantly, but were still about ten feet in size, especially the core main head, which was more than three feet in size.

Looking at these huge wolf heads, everyone couldn't help but feel agitated and instinctively felt a little greedy, but they calmed down in an instant.

Although the things are good, one must have the strength to get them. The four wolf heads were cut off by the mysterious existence in front of them. In theory, they should naturally belong to the other party, and they have no right to ask for them.

Especially at this moment, everyone is seriously overdrawn, their strength is only one hundredth of what it was, so they dare not act recklessly.

But whenever I think about what might be inside the four wolf heads, my heart cannot calm down.

The Tiandao Patriarch instinctively sensed something and sneered secretly. He had no intention of pointing it out, but flew straight to the front of the four wolf heads.

After looking around for a while, he immediately took a storage bracelet from a corpse not far away, and then put everything in it.

After doing all this, without even saying hello, he turned into a beam of light and flew away into the air in a certain direction, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, the nine beings in the fusion realm all looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
It was obvious that this mysterious being who suddenly appeared was very alert and had no intention of dealing with them at all. He came and went without a trace.

"If my perception is correct, there seems to be something wrong with the Taoist friend just now. It seems that he does not have a physical body, but a pure soul body." At this moment, one of the old women in black robes suddenly said.

"Fellow Daoist Yu suddenly mentioned this matter, but do you have any thoughts?" The red-haired old man narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of strangeness in his eyes.

"I'm just talking casually, I don't have any thoughts." The old woman in black robe smiled awkwardly, and at this time, the five-colored cloud crane beside her reminded her in time,

"That person is indeed a spirit body, but we cannot deny his powerful strength, as evidenced by the attack he just made. In addition, judging from the properties of his magic power, he is most likely a ghost cultivator."

"Ghost cultivator!" Hearing this, everyone's faces were suddenly enlightened. Judging from various signs, it is really possible that it is a ghost cultivator. Such beings will not be weakened by the lack of a physical body, but will become more mysterious and unpredictable. For a moment, everyone immediately gave up some of their bad ideas.

"Now that things have come to this, fellow Taoists, there is no need to think any more. It is important to quickly recover your strength. That evil beast is still alive. With its true spirit body and the supreme inheritance in its bloodline, who knows if it is possible for it to make a comeback?
Therefore, just in case, we must root it out, otherwise it may cause us trouble in the future."

"Daoist Fellow Chi Guang is absolutely right..."

……

The appearance of Tiandao Patriarch was very abrupt and secretive, so no one except Mo Juren, the two sisters of the Xiao family, and Gu Ximeng noticed it.

When he left just now, he also deliberately chose another direction, so naturally people would not associate him with Mo Juren. Of course, he had made a reminder before leaving.

After hearing the voice transmission, Mo Juren was extremely happy. Suddenly he thought of something, and then he looked at the three girls beside him, including the little girl Gu Ximeng, with a serious face:

"Can you swear an oath on what you just saw?"

"Ah..." Xiao Yunhuang was stunned for a moment, but then reacted instantly. It seemed that this was indeed not a trivial matter!

That was a genuine true spirit. Four wolf heads were chopped off, including the most important main head. Does the legendary true spirit crystal core exist among them?

The possibility is very high. If it really exists, once it is spread, even the strong ones in the fusion realm will go crazy about it.

In addition, there is the third eye on the main head, which is also an unimaginable treasure. Once the news leaks, Mo Juren, as the owner of the treasure, will surely face endless troubles.

The three women looked at each other and without hesitation, swore an oath with their Taoist heart, promising not to reveal anything about the ancestor of Tiandao.

"Thank you!" Mo Juren was very grateful for the decisiveness of the three women, but he also understood that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and it is possible that the information will be leaked one day. Of course, this possibility is very small, but he had to be prepared for it.

"The matter here has been settled. Brother Mo, what are your plans next?" At this moment, Xiao Yunhuang suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"There is still some time left before the end of the trial, so we can't waste it. I remember that the map seemed to have marked some special areas, which contain a lot of natural treasures. We can go explore them."

"If Brother Mo hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that there are indeed such places, and there are quite a few of them." Xiao Yunhuang suddenly realized something, and then took out the map jade slip again, and after browsing it, he immediately said,
"How about we go to the Huangyang Mountains? Firstly, it is the closest. Secondly, there are not only many spiritual medicines growing there, but also a vein of top-grade Huangyang stone that can be mined. Of course, there are also many powerful beasts there, but with your strength, Brother Mo, it is naturally not a problem."

"Okay, let's go to Huangyang Mountains!" Mo Juren naturally had no objection, but suddenly looked at Xiao Yunling and Gu Ximeng.
"What about you two? Do you want to come with us?"

Mo Juren had heard about Xiao Yunling's affairs a long time ago. The whereabouts of her protector, Grandma Silver Dragon, was still unknown. If she wanted to look for her, he would naturally not stop her.

As for Gu Ximeng, her mother Gan Ruying lives a hundred miles away. If she is reluctant to leave, she can go there temporarily to reunite with her and then meet up again when she leaves.

"I... I'll go with you." Xiao Yunling thought about it and finally decided. Of course, what she hoped most was that the other party would help her find it, but it was obviously unlikely. If she was alone, her strength was too poor after all. It was hard to say whether she could find it or not. Once she encountered any danger, she would most likely lose herself.

"I... I want to go and accompany my mother." Just as Mo Juren had expected, Gu Ximeng was still reluctant to leave. After all, this time the time of absence could not be short, and it was unknown when they would meet again.
"Okay, you can go by yourself, and come back to meet us in a year." Mo Juren nodded and handed the other party a communication token.

After finishing the discussion, he did not delay any further and set off immediately.

Of course, before that, he still had to go there in person and send Gu Ximeng to Gan Ruying first. After all, the other party was too weak, and he was not at ease letting her go alone.

But in just a moment, he had already arrived with the other party, and finally saw again the giant towers in front of them that were nearly half destroyed by the "Phantom Nine-Headed Wolf".

Except for the first sixteen, the rest of the giant towers were safe and sound. Seeing this, Mo Juren instinctively felt guilty.

At this point, he was 100% certain that the damage to the sixteen secondary towers had something to do with him. It was very likely that he had taken away the treasures from the top of each tower, which led to some serious consequences.

The price was undoubtedly extremely tragic. Although the previous series of incidents were unintentional, it is a fact that countless monks lost their lives as a result.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The source of all these troubles is related to him, but now that things have come to this, it is too late to say anything, and he cannot take the initiative to admit anything.

All he could say was that it was fate. After all, he himself had not expected such an outcome.

The appearance of Mo Juren naturally aroused the curiosity of the recovering powerful masters in the fusion realm. After he left, they all looked at Gan Ruying, but unfortunately the latter had no intention of explaining at all.

Seeing this, everyone immediately became tactful and stopped asking further questions.

……

Time flies, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, the ancestor of Tiandao had already returned and gave him all four wolf heads of the giant wolf.

After some disassembly, they indeed found a true spirit crystal core inside the most important main head. This is a real treasure, and the origin contained in it has great benefits for practitioners.

The only pity is that, perhaps because it has been suppressed for many years, or because it has just experienced several months of high-intensity fighting, its origin has already been consumed, and there is not much left.

But even so, according to the inference of the Tiandao Patriarch, the little remaining origin is enough to push his cultivation to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation in a very short period of time.

In addition, there is the third eye located between the main head’s eyebrows. Even the Tiandao Patriarch did not recognize this eye. However, the auxiliary device gave the correct answer, but it was just a name.

The auxiliary device did not explain anything else about the 'Phantom Eyes of the Underworld', not even whether human cultivators could use it, how to use it, etc.

In this regard, Mo Juren could only put the matter aside for the time being and wait until he had the chance to find the answer in the future.

During this year, he and the two sisters of the Xiao family did not have any free time. First, they went to the Huangyang Mountains, and indeed gained a lot from it.

But this only took less than a month, so the three of them continued to choose the next target, and the next target...

In the following year, the three of them explored five or six treasure troves in succession and looted all the valuable things in them. Naturally, the harvest was very considerable.

And a year later, Gu Ximeng was finally brought to Gan Ruying in person. Unexpectedly, the first words she said after they met made Mo Juren's face change drastically. (End of this chapter)
