Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"boom……"

With a loud bang, the massive Starshine ship trembled slightly before coming to an instant.

Mo Juren's expression darkened slightly. He had clearly been attacked. The terrifying power was such that if Fairy Fengyu hadn't intervened in time, the spiritual energy shield of the flying boat itself would most likely not have been able to withstand it.

Even with Fairy Phoenix Feather's intervention, the flying boat still trembled, indicating that the attacker's strength was at least at the Integration Realm level.

"Stay inside and don't go out," Fairy Fengyu reminded him, then vanished in a flash. Seeing how serious she was, Mo Juren naturally didn't dare to be negligent and simply walked to the window to observe carefully.

At this moment, the airship was flying over a vast hilly area, and several miles ahead, a huge creature was standing.

It turned out to be an unidentified, yellowish-brown giant lizard, over a hundred feet long, its surface covered with dense, enormous scales.

Judging from the imposing aura emanating from it, its strength should be at the Refinement of Emptiness level.

But that wasn't the most crucial point. On the giant lizard's mountain-like head stood a human cultivator, clad in earth-yellow armor, and clutching a treasure resembling a wooden flute.

The other party was less than three feet tall and extremely ugly. At this moment, his slanted eyes were looking back and forth on Fairy Phoenix Feather, and his gaze revealed an undisguised lewd light.

"Mid-stage Integration Realm!" Mo Juren narrowed his eyes. The other party must have been deliberately hiding it before, but now he was no longer concealing it, and it was clear to see.

This is indeed extraordinary! The opponent's cultivation level is one aspect, but coupled with the Void Refinement level spirit beast he is riding, one can imagine how powerful he is.
If it were him, he would have no choice but to run away, and he might not even be able to escape successfully. However, with Fairy Phoenix Feather protecting him, he naturally had no worries at all.

To his surprise, even though he had already seen a being of the same level as Fairy Phoenix Feather appear, the dwarf did not care at all, but instead became even more greedy.

This is clearly illogical. Even if it were a robbery, one should choose a target weaker than oneself. The same level of the target is too difficult to succeed, and one might even accidentally run into a brick wall and be killed instead.

There are only two possibilities for the dwarf's behavior at this moment. One is that he is confident enough in his own strength and does not take those of the same level seriously. The other is that there is another reason.

Just as he was pondering, Fairy Phoenix Feather suddenly spoke, her tone chilling:

"The Yin-Yang Ancestor, it's actually you!"

"So many years have passed, and I still don't expect anyone to remember my name? Truly unexpected!" The dwarf cackled, his lewd gleaming even more intensely.
"You look unfamiliar, young lady. You are probably not of the same generation as the ancestor. However, you have reached the mid-stage of the Integration Realm at such a young age, so your talent must be extraordinary."

Now that you've come to this far north, you must have offended someone and can't stay in the inland anymore, right? But there's no need to worry. As the saying goes, meeting is fate. Meeting the ancestor is your good fortune. From now on, you'll follow me.

I dare not speak of anything else, but in this far north, with me, the patriarch, backing you up, absolutely no one would dare to touch you in the slightest…”

"Wishful thinking! Do you think I don't know your background, you old lecher?" Fairy Phoenix Feather's expression grew even colder, and she exposed him without hesitation.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the dwarf's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a gloomy expression.
"So what if you know? When I was roaming the continent, you little girl were probably still breastfeeding. Even if you had reached the mid-stage of the Integration Realm, or even the late-stage, you wouldn't be a match for me."

I advise you to think this through carefully. Don't be so stubborn; if you truly displease the Ancestor, and a fight breaks out, don't blame me for being ruthless!

"How arrogant!" Fairy Phoenix Feather was too lazy to waste words with the other party. With a thought, an extremely sharp sword intent burst out from her body and soared into the sky.

"Sword cultivator!" The dwarf narrowed his eyes, his previous contempt vanished instantly, and his expression became solemn.

As everyone knows, among cultivators of the same level, sword cultivators are often stronger and can even fight against those of higher levels. I really can't be careless.

As for giving up, that's impossible. He's currently at a critical stage of his breakthrough and needs a high-quality furnace vessel, the higher the cultivation level, the better.

Human cultivators are already scarce in the far north, and women are even rarer. Moreover, certain conditions must be met, so he searched for a long time without finding any.

Even recently, he has had the idea of ​​returning to the inland, but he has not taken any action because of his former enemy.

Unexpectedly, just as he was struggling with this decision, his luck suddenly turned around, and a female cultivator at the Integration Realm appeared before him.

He certainly wouldn't miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In an instant, a sky full of sword light swept over, but the dwarf's expression remained unchanged. With a thought, five beams of light—green, red, white, yellow, and black—shot out from his body and transformed into a five-colored halo above his head. Then, the five-colored light screen tilted down, completely enveloping him and the giant lizard below.

At this moment, no matter how the sword lights attacked, they couldn't budge the five-colored light barrier in the slightest.

"The Five Elements Wheel of Primordial Essence!" On the flying boat, looking at the rapidly spinning five-colored wheel of light above the other's head, Fairy Phoenix Feather's expression had already become extremely solemn.

She had long heard of this treasure; it was a renowned treasure on the Chaos Myriad Spirits Ranking, combining defense and offense, and was also the greatest reliance of the Yin-Yang Ancestor when he dominated the cultivation world.

In the past, when the opponent was only at the early stage of the Fusion Realm, he was able to fight against a mid-stage Fusion Realm expert for several months without being at a disadvantage, and made a great name for himself in the Three Realms and Seven Lands.

However, his reputation is not good either. The reason is simple: his main cultivation method focuses on the practice of dual cultivation and absorbing the essence of the body. Along the way, countless women have fallen victim to his evil deeds.

His personality was cruel, violent, cold-blooded, and ruthless. He showed no pity for the women he selected and almost always used their sexual energy to kill them.

In this respect, Ximen Feng of the Ximen family is completely incomparable; he can even be considered an exceptionally good person.

At first, he was somewhat cautious and only attacked those rogue cultivators without any background. However, as his strength continued to grow, he gradually became more and more unscrupulous.

So much so that one day, he became so arrogant as to attack an important figure in the Long family, which ranked first among the True Spirit Clan, resulting in the Long family's patriarch personally taking revenge.

In that battle, the opponent suffered a crushing defeat. Not only did he himself suffer severe injuries, but even his 'Tai Su Five Spirit Wheels' were also greatly damaged. However, even so, he still managed to escape.

However, since then, there has been no place for them to stay in the inland areas, so they had no choice but to flee to the far north, where they have remained for thousands of years.

Phoenix Feather Fairy frowned. She was well aware of the power of the 'Tai Su Five Element Wheels'. What appeared now was just a phantom, yet it was able to easily neutralize her attack. If it were to activate its true form, what would become of it?

Although the method she used was also just a test, its power was by no means inferior.

He specializes in swordsmanship and believes his strength is indeed quite good. He can even fight against a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and is confident he can escape unscathed.

However, that's all; winning is unlikely.

This Yin-Yang Ancestor was originally a veteran expert in the Integration Realm, and now he has reached the mid-Integration Realm. In addition, with the 'Tai Su Five Elemental Wheels' in hand, his strength is definitely at the late-Integration Realm level. Facing such an opponent, I can indeed fight, but the probability of winning is extremely slim.

But that's not the real key point. At this moment, they are in the far north, where danger is everywhere. If they were to have a fierce battle with the enemy, even if they could win, it would be a Pyrrhic victory.

What should we do if a greater danger arises?

In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts raced through his mind, but he came to only one conclusion: he absolutely could not fight with all his might.

In fact, it wasn't just her; the Yin-Yang Ancestor on the other side had the same thought. In such a dangerous place, preserving one's strength was always of paramount importance.

Therefore, he wouldn't act recklessly either. He didn't even use the true form of the 'Tai Su Five Elemental Wheels', but only controlled a phantom to maintain the battle, with the aim of minimizing energy consumption.

Both sides shared the same intention, so they naturally held back when they attacked. One side controlled endless sword light to attack continuously, while the other side focused solely on defense.

For a time, a stalemate ensued.

However, this seemingly stalemate is actually the most dangerous moment. Both sides are waiting for the right opportunity, and once the other side reveals a weakness, that will be the time to really get serious.

Inside the airship, Mo Juren observed everything from the window and realized that the battle was not as intense as he had imagined, and he immediately understood the intentions of both sides.

Isn't it just about waiting for the opponent to reveal a weakness? Isn't that incredibly simple for him?

Although it is unclear what kind of treasure the Yin-Yang Ancestor used, it is obvious that it was based on the Five Elements, and the power of the Five Elements complemented each other to form a whole.

If we can find a way to disrupt it and break the balance of the five elements, problems will inevitably arise.

Thinking of this, he immediately planned to secretly send a message to Fairy Phoenix Feather, but then he changed his mind and gave up.

The opponent is a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator; how powerful is their divine sense? It's almost impossible to hide your voice from them.

Thinking of this, he immediately took out a blank jade slip and wrote his plan into it. Without hesitation, he used his magic to send it to the other party.

This sudden turn of events naturally left Fairy Phoenix Feather somewhat bewildered, unsure of what the other party intended to do. Nevertheless, she still accepted the jade slip and probed it with a wisp of her divine sense.

The content was minimal, just a few sentences, which could be read in a glance. However, after reading it, Fairy Phoenix Feather was filled with endless doubts.

It's simply unbelievable that a mere Nascent Soul cultivator could claim to be able to cause some disruption to the 'Tai Su Five Elemental Wheels'!
Even if the opponent's true strength is comparable to the early stage of Void Refinement, it still feels unreliable.

But then she thought, why not give it a try? There's no harm in it, and if it really works, she'll be confident she can cripple him with a single blow.

Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated and immediately sent a message to Mo Juren in secret. At the same time, a point of light in her dantian suddenly began to vibrate slightly.

Speaking of telepathy, unlike Mo Juren, the Yin-Yang Ancestor on the other side couldn't hear what she transmitted. However, her strange behavior just now made him subconsciously wary.

The Yin-Yang Ancestor frowned, wondering if there was some kind of conspiracy. But that kid was just a mere Nascent Soul cultivator; even if he had some wild thoughts, what big waves could he possibly stir up?
As long as you follow your established plan and remain steadfast in the face of any changes, no matter how many schemes or tricks the other side may have, they will be of no use.

Just as he was pondering, suddenly, the Phoenix Feather Fairy in front of him began to erupt.

His hands moved rapidly, and the endless sword light that had filled the world suddenly became dazzling, its power increasing several times over.

At the same time, it directly summoned a series of physical flying swords, which frantically attacked the Tai Su Five Elemental Wheels.

Under such a fierce attack, the five-colored halo that was originally floating above the head of the Yin-Yang Ancestor suddenly began to tremble slightly, as if it could not hold on.

Upon seeing this, the Yin-Yang Ancestor frowned slightly, somewhat unable to understand the other party's intention in doing so.

Such an attack is indeed quite powerful, even using flying swords, but apart from the high consumption, it poses no threat to oneself. At most, it's just that the original phantom can't hold on any longer.

It's nothing serious. At worst, I can just summon the true form of the 'Tai Su Five Elemental Wheel'. Even if the opponent increases its power several times over, it won't make a difference.

Just as he had expected, seeing the illusory image about to shatter, he didn't hesitate and immediately made a thought.
In an instant, another five-colored halo appeared, then rose into the air and merged with the original halo phantom above their heads.

At that moment, the surrounding defenses instantly reached their peak, remaining completely unmoved no matter how the sword lights and the flying swords attacked.

Even so, Fairy Phoenix Feather did not stop attacking; instead, she became even more frenzied.

"Yes...that's right...that's it...keep it up..."

Although the Yin-Yang Ancestor's expression remained unchanged, he was secretly overjoyed.

Although I don't know why the other party is 'going crazy', it doesn't matter. With this kind of attack method, it will definitely consume a lot of the other party's mana.

This couldn't be better! It saves him from having to use any other trump cards.

While manipulating the treasures to defend himself, he also became increasingly observant. As soon as the opponent revealed even the slightest flaw, he would immediately launch an attack.

However, just as he was pondering this, five illusory figures suddenly shot out from the flying boat ahead, moving at an incredibly fast speed, and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.

The Yin-Yang Ancestor naturally noticed it immediately, and his brows furrowed slightly. He really couldn't see anything special about those five illusory lights.
Moreover, it's obvious without even thinking that the one who made the move in secret was the Nascent Soul stage cultivator hiding in the flying boat ahead. With the other party's strength, it would be a complete pipe dream to hurt him.

Of course, even if you don't intend to avoid it, you can't just let the other party do whatever they want without taking any action.

As the five illusory figures approached, he immediately manipulated the 'Tai Su Five Spirit Wheels' to unleash a five-colored light blade, attempting to destroy them, but to his surprise, he failed.

The five-colored light and shadow were of unknown origin, and the light blades could not cause any damage to them. In the end, they could only watch helplessly as the light and shadow disappeared into the five-colored light wheel.

Such a bizarre scene surprised not only Yin Yang Ancestor, but also the Phoenix Feather Fairy who was prepared in advance. At the same time, she also felt a glimmer of hope for the suggestion that Mo Juren had just made.

In contrast, the Yin-Yang Ancestor instinctively felt a sense of foreboding. (End of Chapter)
