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

"Sparrow Spirit! Damn it, go get the Golden Light Ruler!!"

When Fengque saw that the potential furnace cauldron she had painstakingly prepared for the Golden Sparrow Ancestor had been killed by Wang Xuan, she was filled with uncontrollable rage.

He immediately formed hand seals and activated his natal magic weapon.

A ruler radiating golden light was struck out, its spiritual energy reverberating outwards, snapping the branches near the phoenix magpie.

Then, Feng Que changed the hand seals.

The golden ruler suddenly grew larger, crashing down on Wang Xuan like a small mountain.

Wang Xuan waved his hand casually.

Several thick wooden branches intertwined, transforming into a sturdy wooden sword that collided with the golden ruler magic weapon.

boom!

As expected, the wooden sword that Wang Xuan had formed was no match for the attack of the golden ruler magic weapon.

It turned into wood chips, which scattered throughout this space.

After the attack succeeded.

Fengque's face lit up with joy, thinking that she could save her life today.

Wang Xuan remained silent, gave a cold snort, and took out the bottle of poison he had previously obtained from the Liu family.

He threw the golden ruler at it.

Based on his current knowledge, this vial of venom was most likely taken from the body of a level-five demonic beast called the "Poisonous Python".

The Poisonous Python is a vicious and venomous beast whose venom can easily kill cultivators of the same level.

Moreover, it also possesses the power to corrupt people.

Unexpectedly, the bottle of poison that was so easily obtained back then has now become the game-changer.

With a snap!

The jade bottle containing the poison shattered, and a slick of venom stained the Golden Ruler magic weapon.

When Fengque came to her senses, she felt a sharp pain in her mind.

Use divine sense to explore the past.

The golden ruler's light diminished considerably, and it became entangled in dark green poisonous gas, which relentlessly eroded the magical artifact.

Fengque was startled and tried to retract the Golden Light Ruler, but it was too late.

Wang Xuan's fingertips were wrapped with spiritual energy, which he then inhaled and exhaled, transforming into a water dragon that coiled around the golden ruler.

No matter how the phoenix tried to rouse it, it could not break free.

With the Golden Light Ruler kept at a distance, a glint flashed in Wang Xuan's eyes, and a flying sword magic weapon appeared in his hand.

Whoosh!

Wang Xuan is extremely fast; wherever there is water, that's his home turf.

When fighting at sea, he can unleash a power twelve times stronger than usual!

Feng Que was ultimately only at the early stage of Core Formation cultivation.

Without his natal magic weapon, he was no longer able to contend with Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan's speed, comparable to that of a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, left Feng Que with no chance to react.

He could only watch helplessly as the flying sword pierced through his body.

Wang Xuan wrapped his fingertips in spiritual energy and directly plucked at Feng Que's dantian.

A golden pill, half red and half yellow, appeared in his hand.

"A mere two spiritual roots, I hope this golden core is worth all the effort I've put in."

Looking around at the mess, the chaotic and disordered spiritual energy lingered in the air.

After erasing all traces of himself, Wang Xuan fled far away.

When he killed Feng Que, he felt something strange about himself.

However, after a thorough inspection, nothing was found to be amiss.

"Never mind, with the Qi-Concealing Bracelet by my side, I don't need to worry about that Golden Sparrow Ancestor coming to cause me trouble."

Just to be on the safe side, I'd better not go back to Kuixing Island for now.

The Golden Sparrow Ancestor specifically ordered a large-scale investigation targeting cultivators above the Core Formation stage in the vicinity of Kui Xing Island.

In that case, I can just find a remote place, thoroughly study the effects of this golden pill, and then go back.

……

About fifteen minutes later.

A group of cultivators arrived at the very spot where Wang Xuan and Feng Que had just fought.

There were four people in charge, three men and one woman.

"A fierce battle took place here, and there were two very vague Core Formation auras, but it was impossible to tell which two people they were."

A handsome, fair-skinned middle-aged cultivator spoke up.

Moreover, judging from his cultivation level, he is actually at the mid-stage of Core Formation!

"Although this place is still within the territory of my Kui Xing Island, it is also close to the surrounding edge, making it really difficult to confirm the identities of these two people."

"Forget it, it's better to avoid trouble. As long as it's not a cultivator from Kui Xing Island who dies, why should we bother with this troublesome matter?"

An elderly man wearing a felt hat and with a face full of wrinkles casually said.

Isn't fighting to the death a common occurrence in the world of cultivation?

Although this was somewhat embarrassing for the Star Palace, they couldn't just arbitrarily grab a Core Formation cultivator to take the blame.

If they dare to do that, within a day, the entire Chaotic Star Sea will be raising the banner of rebellion against the Star Palace.

"Island Master Mu is right, it's better to avoid trouble."

This place is located on the edge of Kui Xing Island, and there are at least three islands around it.

It's possible that two cultivators from other places fought here.

The victor may have already fled with the treasure.

The only female cultivator among the four suddenly sensed something and frowned, saying:

"I always feel like my right eyelid is twitching, which might mean something bad is about to happen."

Upon hearing this, the handsome middle-aged man frowned and asked, "Yuan'er, is your judgment accurate?"

With our profound cultivation at the Core Formation stage, how could we possibly believe in these inexplicable feelings?

Since this cause and effect has never affected us, how can we expect an undeserved calamity to befall us?

Zhou Yuan looked at the middle-aged cultivator and nodded solemnly, saying, "It seems pretty close, Mu..."

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Zhou Yuan, don't overthink it. Where would so many undeserved calamities fall upon our heads?"

Before Zhou Yuan could finish speaking, Elder Mu, looking rather displeased, interrupted her.

"This is the territory of the Star Palace. Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator came, he wouldn't dare to openly kill us!"

Although the Star Palace is not as powerful as it used to be, it is not a place where just anyone can cause trouble!

Brother Miao, don't you think so?

The Core Formation cultivator, whom Elder Mu addressed as Brother Miao, nodded slightly and said:

"What Island Master Mu said is right. We have the protection of the Star Palace behind us and the support of the Two Saints!"

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would have to think twice before attacking us.

Seeing that the two of them completely ignored what she said, a hint of anger flashed across Zhou Yuan's face.

The reason why Xinggong is no longer what it used to be is because it was brought down by these guys.

They all act so arrogantly. If they continue like this, the other party will be in trouble sooner or later!

Wang Heng glanced at Island Master Mu and Elder Miao, but didn't say anything more.

"Since neither of you wants to get involved in this matter, then our Miaoyin Sect will not interfere either."

Let's just go back now, and pretend we were never here.

"Alright, let's head back now. The sea creatures around here have been acting strangely lately."

The island lord needs to organize some manpower to properly clean up the surrounding sea monsters!

"Why don't Fellow Daoist Zhou and Fellow Daoist Wang join us in contributing to the safety of Kui Xing Island?"

Zhou Yuan was still angry that the two of them ignored her, and she snorted softly when she heard this.

"No, we in the Miaoyin Sect are also burdened with many miscellaneous affairs. Even if we wanted to, we wouldn't be able to."

The island lord and the Miao-surnamed cultivator's expressions darkened, but they didn't say anything in rebuttal.

Just as they were about to leave this place.

A golden hue dyed the clouds in the sky, and an extremely powerful spiritual pressure swept across.

The four men's faces changed simultaneously, turning pale.

"A Nascent Soul cultivator's spiritual pressure! A Nascent Soul cultivator has arrived here?!"

In their view, everything around them was bathed in a layer of gold.

His cultivation was now as still as death, unable to unleash even a fraction of his full strength.

This is the deterrent power of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The pressure emanating from the essence of higher life forms is a complete dimensional reduction attack!

It's utterly impossible for anyone to feel any desire to resist!

"This aura... it's the Golden Sparrow Ancestor... Phoenix Magpie! Could it be that Fellow Daoist Phoenix Magpie was murdered here?!"

"That's... unlikely."

Fellow Daoist Fengque has a good reputation and has never had any enemies, how could he possibly have been attacked?!

"Stop making wild guesses. Once Ancestor Golden Sparrow arrives, the truth will be revealed."

Hopefully, it wasn't Fellow Daoist Fengque who was harmed, otherwise, Kui Xing Island will truly be thrown into turmoil!
