Mortal: I possess a copy of the Jade Manual of the Sea of ​​Consciousness!

Wang Xuan carefully put away the two spiritual items, bowed, and said, "Grandmaster's great kindness and virtue, I will never forget it!"

Elder Han bowed to Han Yunqing in gratitude for her ancestor's generosity.

"Thank you for the treasure, Ancestor. On behalf of my disciple, I would also like to express my gratitude."

Han Yunqing looked at Elder Han with a mocking gaze and said, "Don't think that just because you say some nice things, I, your ancestor, will let you off the hook."

"Come with me to the back mountain tonight. This old man hasn't stretched his muscles in a long time; it'll be a good opportunity to let loose!"

Elder Han looked bitter and said reluctantly, "Ancestor, how can I refuse? This camp cannot be without me."

If I am injured and absent, my fellow colleagues will probably use this as an excuse to criticize me.

Master Yunqing said indifferently, "It's alright. If those brats want to cause you trouble, they'll have to ask me first!"

You only need to focus on accompanying me in my cultivation."

"In addition, Wang Xuan, you must also cultivate diligently from now on!"

You now have the spiritual item needed to reach the Core Formation stage; all that's left is to accumulate enough cultivation before you can begin your attempt.

The demonic path is powerful. Although our Spirit Beast Mountain has returned to the Spirit Control Sect, our lineage will likely not have an easy time in the future.

But I am a Nascent Soul cultivator, after all. Even if they wanted to settle scores with us, they would never dare to do so!

This is why I told Han Tianpo to break through to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible.

Only by breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage can our Han family lineage gain a foothold among the demonic forces.

Otherwise, sooner or later we'll end up in a situation where the lips are gone and the teeth are cold, and we'll be swallowed up by others!

Wang Xuan nodded solemnly, repeatedly agreeing.

Master Yunqing had no intention of continuing the conversation and dismissed him and Elder Han.

After leaving Master Yunqing's tent, Elder Han looked distressed and began to complain about Wang Xuan.

"If I hadn't brought you here, you wouldn't have been forced to undergo extra training by the patriarch."

"When you reach the Core Formation stage, you'd better repay this old man properly, otherwise I'll have to personally spar with you."

Wang Xuan chuckled and bowed, saying, "Of course. If Master hadn't brought me to pay respects to the Ancestral Master today, I would have had to go through a lot of trouble to obtain this Core Formation spiritual object."

"In that case, you should stay here and cultivate in seclusion, and take some time to go to the front lines and fight."

I have appointments with some old friends, so I won't be able to keep you company.

"Please proceed, Master."

Watching Elder Han fly away, Wang Xuan also spread out his divine sense to investigate the power of the demonic faction.

Unfortunately, the moment he opened his divine sense, he felt several powerful divine senses sweeping towards him.

Wang Xuan gave an awkward smile and bowed to the empty space in front of him.

"Hehe, I am a newcomer to this place, please forgive me if I have been presumptuous."

"Hmm, you must be Fellow Daoist Han's disciple. You are indeed a handsome and talented person."

However, do not use your divine sense here casually. If you have any questions, you can ask the disciples guarding the camp; just ask them for a map.

"Thank you for informing me, senior."

Withdrawing his divine sense, Wang Xuan transformed into a blur and fled from the place.

……

As time passed day by day, the battle at Jingu Plain became increasingly intense.

However, I heard that the people from Huangfeng Valley are preparing to relocate, leaving the Ghost Spirit Sect to occupy their old lair.

With Huangfeng Valley taking the lead, the other major sects also showed signs of decline, their fighting spirit was not as strong as before, and their resistance was much weaker.

Spring passes and autumn comes.

Half a year has passed since Wang Xuan arrived at the Jingu Plain battlefield.

During this period, Wang Xuan did not participate in many battles, and his reputation was limited.

But among the various sects of the demonic path, who among those with some status and strength didn't know about this fake Core cultivator?

During a mission, Wang Xuan encountered Han Li on the way.

At that time, Han Li was still killing a group of demonic cultivators when he encountered Wang Xuan and they stared at each other blankly.

As the saying goes, if you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way.

Wang Xuan immediately went all out, using his water-transformation technique to severely injure Han Li, allowing him to escape with his life by using all his tricks.

The two met alone afterwards, and first lamented how drastically the situation had changed.

Han Li then learned that Xin Ruyin had gone to the Spirit Beast Mountain, and only Wang Xuan could see her.

He then told Wang Xuan about the diagram and information of the ancient teleportation array he had discovered deep in the Yanjiabao mine.

Ancient teleportation arrays were generally a link connecting two places that were far apart.

In other words, besides the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World, there are other unknown places!

Upon discovering it, Han Li realized that this ancient teleportation array was of great importance and that no one else, except his senior brother, should know about it.

"Senior brother, could you ask Miss Xin Ruyin if she could complete this ancient teleportation array?"

The only person I can trust right now is you, my senior brother.

"That's natural."

Wang Xuan ultimately did not disappoint Han Li.

After several months, Wang Xuan entrusted Xin Ruyin to successfully repair the missing piece of the ancient teleportation array.

Han Li has returned to Huangfeng Valley first due to other matters, and soon he and his fellow disciple will also need to use the teleportation array.

Inside Elder Han's tent.

The demonic forces are currently on a fierce offensive and will surely achieve a great victory soon.

Although their Spirit Beast Mountain lineage has been reintegrated into the Imperial Spirit Sect, their situation afterward is unlikely to be much better.

It's nothing more than preserving our resources and minimizing casualties during wartime; the reckoning will still have to come later.

"My disciple, the righteous faction of Yue is now on the verge of collapse. We should also make plans for the post-war period."

The demonic path is no like the hypocrites of the righteous path; if they want to kill, there's no stopping them.

"After this battle, I will be going into seclusion for a long time to prepare for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. My disciple, do you have any plans?"

Wang Xuan sensed the helplessness in Elder Han's tone and realized that she was truly determined to go all out and not leave seclusion until she broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Disciple still intends to travel abroad. Staying in the Yuling Sect, not to mention whether you will be suppressed by others."

Even if they are not suppressed, the disciples within the sect will certainly not enjoy many resources, and their cultivation will be hindered.

Since that's the case, why don't you go out and travel around, seeking opportunities and enlightenment elsewhere?

One of the Nascent Soul elders of the Hidden Moon Sect was not seen. In his youth, he traveled to the Great Jin Dynasty for two hundred years. After that, he broke through to the peak of the Core Formation stage and returned to the sect, and then broke through to the Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop!

The many opportunities in the world, if relied solely on stable cultivation within a sect, are ultimately quite limited and lack the proper methods.

Elder Han patted Wang Xuan's shoulder hard after hearing his heartfelt words.

"Good, it seems you had already made up your mind, making this old man worry for nothing."

Now that you have a Core Formation artifact, breaking through to the Core Formation stage should only be a matter of time for you.

I also have a Mysterious Earth Bowl Talisman here. This talisman has the effect of trapping and killing enemies. It was made by extracting my own natal magic weapon.

I didn't give it to you before because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to unleash its power and that it would be a waste.

Now that your cultivation has reached the Pseudo-Core stage, I can rest assured that I will give it to you.

"Being away from home is different from being inside the temple; you must be careful in everything you do, lest you lose your life needlessly!"

Wang Xuan took the Xuan Tu Bowl Talisman and put it into his storage bag. After bowing to Elder Han, he flew away.

After Wang Xuan left, a streak of crimson-gold light flew over, and Ancestor Yun Qing appeared beside Elder Han.

"Sigh... Since you two have made your decision, I won't try to stop you."

"When we go to the Yuling Sect, they won't make a fuss about our Han family. You just need to focus on your seclusion, and I'll handle everything else!"

Han Tianpo looked at his ancestor, who was old but still full of energy.

He knew the other person was under immense pressure, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Tianpo apologizes to the ancestor first. Previously, this junior did not heed the master's teachings and was only interested in playing around, and did not devote himself to cultivation."

Otherwise, we wouldn't be in such an awkward situation.

Master Yunqing glanced at Han Tianpo indifferently and said, "Where did your previous carefree spirit go? What's the use of regretting it now?"

You may not know your own background, but do you think I don't?

Even if you have worked hard to cultivate before, you are only at the peak of the Core Formation stage at most.

With this level of cultivation, you might be able to bully younger generations on ordinary days, but when it comes to matters of life and death that determine a sect, you're practically invisible!

It's good that you've learned your lesson; it'll help you curb your temper and focus on your cultivation.

I still have two or three hundred years left to live, enough to protect you for some time.

If, after many years, no cultivator on our side has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, it can be considered a sign of the decline of our lineage's talent, a consequence of fate.
