Martial Arts, the Fairy's Cultivation

Liu Luo's eyes flickered, and then she sighed, "The specific details are beyond my knowledge. When the treasure appeared back then, I was not qualified to participate in that level of cooperation."

Kui Yue, standing to the side, remained silent. A hundred years ago, the leaders of various forces in the Great Yan Dynasty were all figures of the previous era. Not only the two of them, but also the current leaders of the four major clans were all rising stars back then, just like Man Shan and Du Yun's status among the younger generation of the Great Yan Dynasty today. They were far from being true peak experts.

The previous sect leader of the Tianluo Sect mentioned the events of that year briefly before his death, but seemed to have some reservations, remaining tight-lipped about certain specific details. Liu Luo, who did not personally experience that operation a hundred years ago, could not know too many details, and perhaps because the Tianluo Sect ultimately gained nothing, the matter was gradually forgotten.

Unexpectedly, a hundred years later, the same strange phenomenon as before appeared again in the land of the Great Yan Dynasty. This made Liu Luo and Kui Yue, who had become half-step Nirvana experts, unable to resist the urge to investigate, and they both chose to come out of seclusion.

"If you wish to learn about what happened back then, you can inquire with the royal family and the four major clans. Only those at the Nirvana Realm have enough say in the alliance of the Great Yan Dynasty a hundred years ago, and perhaps they know more about the truth."

Although Kuiyue's words were calm, they revealed a hint of helplessness. In the eyes of outsiders, the three major sects were behemoths comparable to the four major clans, but as the top forces of the Great Yan Dynasty, there were still differences between them.

The four major clans have a longer history and deeper foundation, and their Nirvana Realm experts are almost never lost. As for the most unfathomable royal family, it goes without saying that the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty is under the control of the royal family. Even the four major clans can only rule and dominate within their own small territory.

In contrast, the three major sects, including Tianluo Sect, are like nouveau riche who suddenly rose to prominence by chance. Their foundations are unstable. Not to mention that they can't gather enough Nirvana Pills to break through to the Nirvana Realm, they can't even achieve the second-best half-step Nirvana Realm in every generation.

This is why the three sects are closely connected. If they did not rely on a united front against external forces, they would probably lack real confidence when facing Nirvana Realm experts.

"All I know about that alliance a hundred years ago is that it eventually turned into a fierce battle between various forces. It is said that only those at the Nirvana Realm are truly qualified to compete for the supreme treasure," Liu Luo said in a deep voice.

Mu Zi was not surprised by this. People are driven by self-interest, and once the treasure appears, the so-called alliance between the various forces will inevitably fall apart. However, this was not what Mu Zi was concerned about.

"Do you know whether that treasure ultimately ended up in the hands of a certain power?"

Kui Yue looked at the woman in white in front of him and said hesitantly, "Whether the treasure has fallen into the control of one side or not, we cannot know for sure. However, what we can be sure of is that the ultimate victor of that battle was the Great Yan royal family."

"Royal family... I understand."

Seeing the attitude Mu Zi showed, it was clear that she was also interested in that treasure. This immediately gave Liu Luo and the other two a sense that a storm was brewing. Such a young powerhouse with a mysterious background and no weaker than the Nirvana Realm was likely to stir up quite a storm in the Great Yan Dynasty, especially if it involved the royal family.

For reasons unknown, Liu Luo pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at the woman in white with a meaningful expression.

"Your Excellency's strength is exceptional. We are truly convinced of our defeat today. However, the royal family's resources far exceed our expectations. There is more than one true Nirvana Realm expert. The current royal family leader, Mo Jingtian, is even said to have already passed the Nirvana Tribulation. His strength is far beyond what we two can compare to. If you intend to seek out the royal family, you would better be careful."

Mu Zi remained noncommittal.

Now that the intelligence was nearly complete, there was no need to continue trapping the two. The next moment, Mu Zi flicked her finger, and the purple lotus that had been suppressing the void slowly shrank, returning to her palm. The aura surrounding the two figures also dissipated.

"You can leave now."

Liu Luo and Kui Yue, feeling the Yuan energy no longer sluggish, both showed expressions of relief. They then clasped their hands slightly to Mu Zi and left the place that had left them with some lingering fear, as if they had been granted a pardon.

After the two left, a few moments passed before Lin Dong emerged from his hiding place and looked at the thoughtful woman in white.

"Is that the treasure you've been searching for?"

Seeing Mu Zi nod, Lin Dong thought to himself, "As expected," while a hint of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

"Do you want to contact the royal family?"

Mu Zi shook her head slightly and said, "This matter is not urgent. What I can confirm is that the source has not fallen into the control of any force."

The previous two joint sensing operations covered a vast area, almost encompassing every corner of the Great Yan Dynasty. If there truly was an origin, it would certainly not escape Mu Zi's senses—she did not believe that those Nirvana Realm cultivators could employ such deceptive methods.

Most likely, the Great Yan royal family did not succeed a hundred years ago, or they only obtained some minor benefits, while the true source was elsewhere.

Even so, the royal family may still know some clues, and Mu Zi will eventually come to them to make contact, but there is no need to rush this matter.

Right now, it's more sensible to improve Lin Dong's strength as soon as possible to increase the endurance of "fusion" and strive to locate the source of the origin as soon as possible.

But before that, there's one thing that can be taken care of.

Mu Zi looked at the enormous beast corpse on the ground, which resembled a small mountain. Her gaze slowly swept over it, finally settling on the ferocious-looking head.

"We could make good use of this waste material."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Zi flicked her finger and shot out a burst of energy that entered the body of the Sky-Splitting Roc. Accompanied by a peculiar fluctuation, a phantom image of a ferocious bird was pulled out from its massive body.

The phantom resembled a miniature version of the Sky-Splitting Roc, so lifelike that it roared at Mu Zi with fierce eyes as soon as it appeared, but its undisguised instinctive fear made its roar sound somewhat fierce but actually weak.

"Is this what a demon spirit is?"

Lin Dong looked at the illusory beast in front of him with surprise. When the demon beasts of the Tianxuan Continent enter the Creation Realm, the Yuan Power in their bodies merges with the power of their bloodline to condense into a spiritual entity, which is this demon spirit.

Even if the physical body is destroyed, as long as the demon spirit still exists in the world, it is not considered to have perished. The little sable is in a similar state now.

Mu Zi casually bound the demonic spirit of the Sky-Splitting Roc, then looked at the purplish-black phantom that had appeared on Lin Dong's shoulder at some unknown time. With a thought, she sent the demonic spirit in front of it.

"This demonic spirit is yours to deal with."

"If you swallow it, your condition will recover to some extent."

A flicker of emotion flashed in Xiao Diao's eyes as he looked at the woman in white. He hadn't expected that Mu Zi would still think of him after receiving benefits. She was truly a kind person!
