Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 89 Trip to the Back Mountain
Upon hearing this, Gu Shihan was overjoyed and quickly consulted Venerable Danhua about several problems he had encountered in cultivation.

After Venerable Danhua patiently answered all her questions, she respectfully saw the person off.

He watched Venerable Danhua leave until his figure disappeared from sight before turning back to his own residence.

As soon as she stepped into the space, Gu Shihan felt that some subtle changes were quietly taking place.

Just as she was filled with doubt and pondering to herself, she saw Xingbai walking towards her with a happy expression on his face.

"Hanhan, you are amazing! You have already touched the threshold of the Dao! The moment you entered the Dao, the Moon Bracelet also underwent a wonderful change! A clear and lively aura was continuously generated, and it became more and more full of life and vitality."

"In this way, we can catch some cute little animals and put them into this magical space!" Xingbai's little face was full of joy, and her excitement was overflowing.

"Really? I see! I felt a strange atmosphere surrounding us when I first came in. Alright then, let's not delay, let's head to the back mountain!" Upon hearing this, Gu Shihan immediately became excited and turned around without hesitation, preparing to leave the space to catch the monster.

Xingbai's figure flashed, transforming swiftly like a phantom into a small and exquisite white fox.

It leaped up lightly and landed steadily on Gu Shihan's shoulder.

Her adorable appearance was endearing, and her big, round eyes playfully blinked at Gu Shihan a few times.

The man and the fox quietly entered the back mountain.

To avoid attracting attention, they deliberately chose to travel along winding, secluded paths.

After all, this area is composed of dozens of mountains specially designated by the Five Flowers Sect, and most of those who come here on weekdays are cultivators in the Qi Refining stage within the sect.

Since only those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage are qualified to leave the sect to experience various trials and challenges, for these low-level cultivators, simply relying on meditation is clearly far from enough.

Therefore, improving one's strength through actual combat has become an essential step.

In order to enhance the sect's strength and meet the daily cultivation needs of its disciples, the Wuhua Sect specially designated an area in the back mountain for raising a large number of demonic beasts.

Most of these monsters were of low level. As for the high-level monsters, they had either been killed or were tightly confined in the innermost circle of the back mountain.

The back mountain area is a forbidden zone for high-level demonic beasts. They must never trespass into the back mountain area without permission, otherwise, once discovered, they will only face merciless extermination.

Moreover, even the disciples of the Five Flowers Sect were restricted; they could only stay in the back mountain area and could not freely venture into the deeper inner area.

Because a powerful array was set up between the inner and outer perimeters as a precaution.

Of course, there are always exceptions. When some Golden Core cultivators in a sect want to gain experience without leaving their sect, the inner perimeter becomes their first choice.

However, their journey to the inner perimeter wasn't solely for hunting demonic beasts and acquiring resources; more often, they simply wanted to engage in fierce battles with them to hone their cultivation. At this moment, Xingbai was exploring the back mountains alongside Gu Shihan.

As he walked, he looked left and right, muttering to himself, "Hanhan, the Five Hua Sect is really rich and powerful! Look at this back mountain, it has all kinds of supplies, and the number of demonic beasts is astonishing."

Just then, a fierce fighting sound suddenly came from ahead.

Gu Shihan's ears twitched, and she instantly perked up. She said to Xingbai, "It looks like someone is fighting a fierce battle with a human or a monster up ahead. Let's go take a look. If they encounter danger, it wouldn't be a bad thing to lend a helping hand."

Before she finished speaking, her figure flashed, and she moved like a ghost, leaping and bounding several times.
"Killing each other?! How could this be? Isn't it said that internal fighting among disciples is strictly forbidden?" Xingbai stared wide-eyed in astonishment, unable to believe what was happening before his eyes.

Seeing this, Gu Shihan shook her head and said, "Xingbai, you don't know this, do you? Although the sect explicitly forbids disciples from fighting each other, as long as no one dies, there's a lot of room for maneuver! Look at that woman, isn't she called Bai Ling? She's a Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet she's making things difficult for a few mere Qi Refining disciples. What grudge could she possibly have?"

Just then, Bai Ling's face turned sinister as she glared fiercely at the Bai Yao sisters in front of her, gritting her teeth as she said, "Bai Yao, today is the day you two sisters die!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yao turned deathly pale with fright and cried out, "Bai Ling, you can't kill us! We belong to the same sect, we're all disciples! If you kill us, you won't have a good end either!"

However, Bai Ling remained unmoved and sneered, "Hmph, can't kill? I'm cleaning house! Who told you sisters to be so ignorant of the times, blindly following that guy Bai Yaoyang and fully supporting him to become the young master?"

Let me tell you, this position of young master should rightfully belong to me, Bai Ling. What is Bai Yaoyang anyway? He just formed his golden core a little earlier than me.

"You entire lineage deserve to die! Once I successfully ascend to the position of young master, it's only a matter of time before I wipe you all out. This is just a matter of acting ahead of time!"

Bai Yao! I hate that you're prettier than me, I hate that you get Fei Yuan's attention, I want you to disappear! As long as you disappear, Fei Yuan will definitely be mine.

"Bai Ling, you've become obsessed!" Bai Lian added weakly.

"Obsessions?! I have plenty of obsessions. How about you end your own lives to avoid suffering! Haha... Hahahaha."

"Hanhan, Bai Ling seems to be showing signs of going mad from her cultivation. Should we intervene?"

"Okay, I'll go take a look!" Gu Shihan spun around and landed among the group. "Sect disciples are forbidden from fighting privately!"
"Who are you? You want to interfere in the affairs of my Bai family? Get out of my way!" A flash of red appeared in Bai Ling's eyes as she raged.

“Grandmaster Gu?! Bai Yao, Bai Lian, greetings.” The two female cultivators on the other side recognized Gu Shihan at a glance.

"Yes, you all return to the sect immediately!" Gu Shihhan instructed.

"Don't leave! Who are you? Oh! I know, you're Gu Shihhan, the person I, Bai Ling, hate the most. What right do you have to point fingers at me? Get out of my way! I am the young master of the Bai family."
