Mortal: Even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, I still have to try and get my hands on the Little Gree

Chapter 163 Kunpeng Illusion? No, this is the Awakening of Insects Dharma Form!

Upon hearing Mu Yu's request, Jin Yue immediately relaxed.

A single Kunpeng relic, though precious to the Kunpeng clan, is insignificant compared to the blood of these Kunpeng.

"Okay, but are there any other requirements?"

Although she thought there shouldn't be any more, Elder Jin Yue couldn't help but ask.

"No, but I need to personally select the Kunpeng Relic."

Jin Yue was somewhat hesitant about this request, but ultimately agreed under the lure of the Kunpeng's blood.

It wasn't until Mu Yu spoke that Jin Yue, the Great Elder of the Tianpeng Clan, realized that the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Emperor had come to support this young man.

Indeed, it is no exaggeration to attach great importance to an existence that can be associated with the true spirit.

I just don't know what exactly in this abyss has caught the eye of the human race—

These are turbulent times!

Elder Jin Yue was filled with mixed emotions, but on the surface he pretended to be completely indifferent.

Although the Flying Spirit Clan has several Mahayana stage experts, the overall strength of the Sky Roc Clan is not as great as that of the Human Clan. Therefore, although Jin Yue guessed something, she did not intend to interfere.

If they get into trouble, the Peng Clan could face annihilation.

"The Kunpeng aura emanating from this fellow Daoist is so strong, and considering the supreme treasure he possesses, it would be difficult to distinguish the real from the fake if I hadn't used my clan's sacred artifact."

"I wonder if you would be interested in leaving your name on the supplementary volume—no, the main volume—of my clan's Oath of the Heavenly Roc?"

After staring at Mu Yu for a long time, Elder Jin Yue suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Emperor's expression immediately changed.

"Jin Yue, I, the Spirit Emperor, am still here. It's not very appropriate to poach someone right in front of me."

Although he was very unhappy, Emperor Tianmiao did not take the matter to heart.

It's just the Oath of the Heavenly Roc; trying to win people over with something like that seems a bit too stingy.

Although somewhat curious about the differences between the main and supplementary volumes of the Oath of the Heavenly Roc, Mu Yu wouldn't use such things carelessly.

"Elder Jin Yue, it would be better to give up that idea. If I join the Tianpeng Clan, I estimate that the entire Tianpeng Clan will be hostile to You Tian Kunpeng."

"after all----"

Mu Yu paused for a moment, but did not continue to say anything.

Upon hearing this, Elder Jin Yue subconsciously recalled the dense aura of the earth abyss emanating from Mu Yu when he first appeared before her.

No—it's not the Abyss, it's—the True Spirit Realm!!!

Jin Yue glanced at Mu Yu with apprehension and said, "In that case, I will take you two to select the Kunpeng Relic."

"Currently, there are only a handful of Kunpeng relics in my Tianpeng clan, which is really not many."

""

Along the way, Elder Jin Yue's attitude was unusually friendly, as if nothing had happened before.

The Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Emperor was the same, chatting casually with Elder Jin Yue.

Soon, the group arrived at the location where the Kunpeng relic was kept.

As the location where the Kunpeng Clan hid its treasures, it was naturally not easy for the Heavenly Mystic Spirit Emperor to enter, so he waited outside the barrier.

Although separated by thick barriers, the Heavenly Mystic Emperor was still able to sense Mu Yu's aura.

If anything unexpected happens, the Heavenly Mystic Emperor will take immediate action.

With the strength of the Heavenly Mystic Emperor, he could easily deal with several beings of the same level.

There are several demon kings in the Abyss of Earth, and if Tianmiao Linghuang did not have the corresponding strength, Mo Jianli would not have felt at ease letting him come to protect Mu Yu.

Standing in front of a row of Kunpeng relics, Mu Yu sensed them for a moment, then decisively reached out his hand towards the one with the weakest aura.

Upon seeing this, Elder Jin Yue hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up to remind him, "This Kunpeng relic was left behind by the ninth generation elder of our clan. It is the relic that has been stored here for the longest time, and most of its power has been lost."

"This Elder Hongyun was a man of extraordinary talent in his lifetime, but because his death was suspicious, it contains some divine power left behind by him before his death."

"Once it is refined into the body, there may be some unknown consequences."

"Therefore, it's best to be cautious."

Elder Jin Yue's words explained why Mu Yu had come to him to search for the Kunpeng Relic.

Although Elder Jin Yue's actions were well-intentioned, he may also have been worried about incurring the wrath of the human race.

In short, if they were allowed to take it themselves, they would never hand over something with such a problem to Mu Yu.

"It's alright, this one is exactly what I like. It's just a matter of divine sense power, it won't have any effect on me."

Mu Yu pretended to be stubborn and spoke forcefully.

Jin Yue was already somewhat hesitant, and seeing that she had fulfilled her duty to remind him, but the other party still didn't appreciate it, she decided not to say anything more.

Anyway, given the opponent's divine sense power, which is far superior to that of others of the same level, even if something unexpected happens during the process of refining the Kunpeng relic, nothing should happen.

"Since you've already made your decision, there's no point in me arguing with you."

Jin Yue said casually, and then followed Mu Yu away from the place.

Next came the cultivation of the Kunpeng Dharma Form and the fusion of the Kunpeng Relic.

Mu Yu has plenty of Kunpeng blood, so he naturally doesn't need the true blood of the Tianpeng Clan. He only needs to use the secret techniques of the Kunpeng Clan to refine the Kunpeng relic.

After emerging, Emperor Tianmiao learned the truth about the Kunpeng Relic from Jin Yue, and his expression turned grim.

After some hesitation, Tianmiao Linghuang took out a copy of the Soul Forging Hundred Refinements Scripture and tossed it to Mu Yu.

"You are born with a strong spiritual sense. Cultivating this technique can quickly help you refine those impure spiritual thoughts, and at the same time, it can temper your soul."

How could someone who plays with puppets not have a spiritual cultivation technique?

He hadn't brought it out before only to entice Mu Yu to learn puppetry from him, but now there was no other way.

If Mu Yu's foundation were truly damaged, not only Mo Jianli, but even Tianmiao Linghuang himself would feel it was a great pity.

"In that case, thank you very much, Your Majesty the Spirit Emperor."

Mu Yu happily accepted the Soul Forging Hundred Refinements Scripture, only to discover that this soul cultivation technique followed a completely different path from the Great Evolution Technique.

Although she only glanced at them a few times, Mu Yu could already roughly distinguish the differences between the two.

In layman's terms, the Great Evolution Technique enhances one's divine sense primarily through dispersion, employing methods of splitting and restoration to temper one's divine sense.

This Soul Forging Hundred Refinements Scripture emphasizes the concept of "gathering," which involves condensing the soul into a unified whole and then using various methods to temper and refine the divine consciousness.

Just like forging iron, by tempering one's soul to a certain degree, one's divine sense will naturally become stronger.

In terms of both grade and level, this technique far surpasses the Great Evolution Technique.

However, after obtaining this cultivation technique, Mu Yu wanted to use it, along with the Great Evolution Technique, to create his own soul cultivation technique.

Having already reached the Nascent Soul stage, Mu Yu should naturally create his own unique cultivation method.

With his innate ability to learn through trial and error and avoid misfortune, the techniques he developed, while not necessarily the most powerful, would certainly not pose any danger or hidden risks.

With no dangers or hidden risks, and absolutely no chance of going astray, Mu Yu, possessing such talent, naturally chose the path of creating his own cultivation method.

After all, no matter how good the techniques of the predecessors are, none can be as suitable as the techniques you create yourself.

All Mu Yu needed were some cultivation techniques for reference and some time.

Forget about the spiritual cultivation technique for now; the most important thing now is to obtain the follow-up techniques of the Azure Origin Sword Manual.

First, develop the main cultivation method, and then work on the auxiliary cultivation methods of body refinement and spiritual awareness.

Calming down, Mu Yu began refining the Kunpeng Relic with the help of the elders of the Tianpeng Clan.

The entire refining process went smoothly. Apart from sensing some divine thoughts left behind by the Kunpeng clan elder, Mu Yu encountered no other problems.

Of course, some of the memories from the Kunpeng Relic, as well as the Twelve Transformations of Awakening of Insects cultivation technique, also automatically appeared in Mu Yu's mind.

A day later, a large azure bird took to the air, its body shimmering with faint golden lightning arcs. It looked somewhat similar to the Thunder Roc, but its aura was undeniably that of the Soaring Kunpeng.

Soon, the phantom of the soaring Kunpeng extended its sharp claws, tearing a faint spatial rift in the air.

Compared to the human realm, the spatial barrier of the spirit realm is very strong. Even cultivators in the Integration stage need to rely on the power of magic treasures to tear through space.

Now, Mu Yu has reached this level with just a Kunpeng Dharma Image, which is truly terrifying.

There was no other way; Mu Yu had refined far more Kunpeng blood than anyone else.

"Elder, is this person truly not the holy son secretly nurtured by our Tianpeng Clan?"

The Tianpeng Clan elder standing to the side asked Elder Jin Yue with some disbelief.

Upon hearing this, Elder Jin Yue gave a wry smile.

"Secretly nurtured, I would truly prefer that the other party is a holy son I nurtured."

"If this child exists, my Tianpeng clan will surely prosper!"

"But unfortunately, this person is a genuine human."

"It seems that the human race will soon have another lineage of True Spirit families similar to our Tianpeng clan."

Just as the Tianpeng clan elder was sighing, Mu Yu had already retrieved his Dharma form and slowly returned to his original shape amidst a burst of azure light.

Looking at the faint Kunpeng Dharma image revealed on Mu Yu's chest, Elder Jin Yue felt an indescribable melancholy.

If it weren't for the presence of the Heavenly Mystic Emperor, this child would have to be taken into the Kunpeng Clan.

But what a pity—

Jin Yue sighed inwardly, forced herself to accept this reality.

Fortunately, there are still ten drops of essence blood from the True Spirit Soaring Heavenly Kunpeng. With this as a foundation, the Heavenly Peng Clan can nurture ten outstanding holy sons.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Mu. Your current Heavenly Roc Transformation Technique is already comparable to that of the true Kunpeng Saint Lord."

Elder Jin Yue stepped forward and spoke in a very friendly manner.

But his eyes seemed to say he wanted to devour Mu Yu whole.

Seeing Mu Yu's wary expression, Elder Jin Yue realized his lapse in composure and quickly composed himself before continuing, "The Earth Abyss Trial will begin soon. Fellow Daoist Mu, are you planning to enter as our clan's Holy Son, or—"

After pondering for a moment, Mu Yu said, "Let's enter as the Holy Son of the Tianpeng Clan. Although other methods can also enter the Abyss, they are not quite suitable."

Upon hearing this, Jin Yue felt a little curious, but she did not ask any questions.

"There is still about a month until the Abyss Trial officially begins."

"When the time comes, don't be too late."

Since there was still some time before the start of the Earth Abyss Trial, Mu Yu and Tianmiao Linghuang went out to search for a treasure.

Of course, before going out, Mu Yu entrusted Tianmiao Linghuang to exchange for a lot of treasures such as golden marrow crystal insects and golden-eyed coral sand among the Tianpeng clan.

It's a pity that the Tianpeng Clan also uses this kind of thing, otherwise they could exchange for even more.

Even so, the amount obtained was enough for Mu Yu to use in condensing his Dharma form in the future.

After spending some time locating the location, and then using his status as the Holy Son of the Tianpeng Clan to summon several members of the Tianpeng Clan, Mu Yu finally confirmed the approximate location of the Black Mist.

Next, under the guidance of the Heavenly Mystic Emperor, Mu Yu successfully found a monster cave nearby, where he discovered the purpose of his trip—a seemingly ordinary gray-white stone pier.

"This thing is rather peculiar."

The Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Emperor tried it out and used magic to retrieve the item.

"Interesting. This thing is made of a very special material; I can't even recognize what it is."

"But given its unusual weight, it would be quite suitable for refining powerful magical artifacts."

"No wonder you dragged me over here too. With your Nascent Soul stage cultivation, it won't be an easy task to offset the weight of this item and store it in your storage bracelet."

After using several talismans and forbidden spells, the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Emperor was able to neutralize the weight of the stone block, put it into a jade box, and throw it to Mu Yu.

Mu Yu caught it, only to find that the jade box in his hand was very light, as if the stone pillar inside did not exist at all.

Although somewhat curious about the talismans affixed to the jade box, Mu Yu dared not touch them rashly. If these talismans became ineffective after being placed in the storage bracelet and damaged it, the treasures inside would be in danger.

Storage bracelets are different from storage bags. A storage bag is just a bag, a magical artifact with the ability to shrink items.

Even if the storage bag is damaged, as long as the attack power is not too strong, many rare spiritual items can survive.

However, the storage bracelet is a true magical artifact with spatial abilities. If the space inside the storage bracelet is damaged, the items will really disappear.

Having achieved his goal, Mu Yu returned to the sacred land of the Tianpeng Clan to prepare for the so-called Earth Abyss Trial.

For safety, Mu Yu's storage bracelet contained a clone created by the Heavenly Mystic Emperor.

In this way, the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Emperor would not need to travel with Mu Yu, so as not to attract the attention of certain people.

At the same time, the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Emperor also needed to secretly sneak into the Abyss with Yuan Yao.

That's right, Yuan Yao also came to the territory of the Flying Spirit Clan, but because of her Yin Body, the Heavenly Mystic Emperor arranged a cave dwelling for her nearby.

Three of the Tianpeng Clan's holy sons participated in this trial, making four if Mu Yu is included.

The Trial of the Abyss is a trial for the entire Flying Spirit Clan, not just the Sky Roc Clan.

Moreover, although the Flying Spirit Clan is nominally a unified entity, there are various conflicts between the different races.

In just a short while, Mu Yu received a lot of hostile glances.

However, Mu Yu didn't take these beings, who were only at the Nascent Soul stage, seriously at all.

-

As time went by, Mu Yu finally saw the Abyss Trial officially begin.
