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

Master Le looked at the soul banner in Mu Yu's hand and his unusually excited expression, and felt somewhat puzzled.

It's just a very ordinary soul banner-type magic item, isn't it? Why are you so happy about it?

In the cultivation world, even demonic cultivators are not very willing to refine magical artifacts like soul banners.

Because the process of refining this treasure not only requires causing a lot of killing and absorbing many souls, but also requires consuming a lot of life force to cultivate the vengeful ghosts within the soul banner.

The so-called Ten Thousand Souls Banner is not simply about stuffing in the souls of more than ten thousand mortals; it also needs to further enhance their power.

It can be said that each soul banner requires the cultivation of tens of thousands of vengeful ghosts, and the process takes a very long time.

Occasionally, encountering a vengeful ghost with poor aptitude might even cause one to get stuck in their cultivation level.

Yes, that's right. Even if they are refined into magical artifacts, the souls of those vengeful ghosts cannot grow indefinitely.

Occasionally, some vengeful ghosts with poor aptitude cannot improve their strength no matter how many living souls they are fed.

These creatures would later be used as food to feed other living souls that could enhance their strength.

Therefore, most cultivators who refine soul banners adopt the strategy of raising gu (a type of insect-like creature).

He didn't need to distinguish which of the ghosts in the soul banner had stronger aptitude; in any case, the one that survived in the end would definitely be the one with better aptitude.

The Yinluo Sect cultivators who are currently cooperating with the Mulan people are only involved in this great battle between cultivators because the Ghost Banner magic weapon within their sect was destroyed. They are trying to collect the souls of the fallen cultivators to repair the Ghost Banner.

Soul banners are troublesome to make, even more troublesome to cultivate, and once damaged, they are extremely troublesome to repair.

Therefore, Master Le really couldn't figure out what Mu Yu was so happy about.

"I let you get away last time, but this time I'll see if anyone can save you."

Because of the appearance of the Divine Master Mulan last time, this Holy Maiden Mulan is not very clear about Mu Yu's strength.

But even if Saintess Mulan knew this, she would have nothing to fear with the ancient bronze lamp in her hand.

After uttering a harsh remark to Mu Yu, the Saintess Mu Lan spat out a wisp of white infant fire from her mouth, igniting the ancient bronze lamp in her hand.

Immediately, the Saintess of Mulan made hand seals and chanted obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations, which appeared quite strange.

Seeing this situation, Mu Yu naturally understood what had happened, but he had no intention of getting entangled with this person. With a flash of lightning, he directly arrived at another battlefield.

Master Mulan here is a cultivator that Mu Yu has been following for a long time.

This person uses a special sword technique that looks somewhat like a sword cultivator, but also somewhat similar to mortal martial arts.

Currently, both Mu Yu and Han Li have the same problem: although they have learned the Qingyuan Sword Technique, they only use it as an ordinary skill, which is quite different from that of a normal sword cultivator.

Han Li himself might not care, but Mu Yu still wanted to try being a real sword cultivator, which is why he invited Fire Dragon Boy before.

Now, Mu Yu is naturally very interested in the sword techniques of this Mulan master.

The Thunder Escape Technique burst into the battle, the Asura Sacred Fire burned his body, and the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder Net captured the Nascent Soul. Mu Yu completed the entire process very quickly.

Such an action of instantly killing a cultivator of the same level has a high probability of success if the opponent is not prepared in advance.

Some weaker early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, even if they are discovered, have no chance of escaping.

After all, Mu Yu's current lightning escape technique can now unleash a speed comparable to the Nascent Soul teleportation of a Nascent Soul cultivator in a short period of time.

Just as Mu Yu successfully killed a Mulan master and sealed his nascent soul, storing it in his storage bag.

The Holy Maiden of Muran also completed the preparations for summoning the Holy Bird of Muran.

"唳~~"

With a cry, a bluebird darted out from the flame of the ancient bronze lamp, its aura exceptionally powerful.

This bird is graceful and has long, blue feathers. It is a rare blue peacock, and its ruby-like eyes reveal a strong sense of pride.

The blue peacock looked around and then uttered some kind of primitive language.

Mu Yu had actually been paying attention to the peacock summoned by Saintess Mulan. When he heard the voice of the blue peacock, he immediately realized why he had failed to attract Luo Hou's attention.

"I see, I had overlooked the language barrier?"

"That's true. Rahu travels all over the human world, and the languages ​​are different in every place. He probably has no interest in learning so many languages."

At the same time, after exchanging a few words with the Azure Peacock, Master Nale immediately began searching for Mu Yu on the battlefield.

When she noticed the corpse at Mu Yu's feet, she froze in shock.

She knew she would need some preparation time to summon the sacred bird, and she was also prepared for the opponent to take advantage of this opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

But she never expected that Mu Yu would run and kill someone of the same level in such a short time.

Moreover, he is one of the more powerful among the Mulan masters.

No, we absolutely cannot let them continue killing.

This kind of lethality against Nascent Soul stage cultivators is no less than that against those in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Having made a decisive decision, Saintess Mulan muttered a few words to the sacred bird, then produced an unidentified pink bead and handed it to the bird.

Upon seeing this object, the sacred bird of Mulan's eyes lit up with joy. With a snap of its beak, it directly sucked the pink bead into its belly.

The next moment, a halo rose from the bird's body, and it was enveloped in blue flames, its size gradually increasing.

Immediately afterwards, the firebird soared into the sky, and the fire-attribute spiritual energy within a radius of dozens of miles became unstable at that moment, affecting a large number of cultivators who mainly practiced fire-attribute techniques.

This was just the beginning. Countless fire-attribute spiritual energies seemed to be summoned and spontaneously entered the body of the blue peacock.

At this moment, the sacred bird of Mulan began to grow rapidly in size, and the blue flames on its body became increasingly dazzling.

As soon as the image of this bird appeared on the battlefield, the morale of the Muran mages immediately soared, and their expressions became extremely frenzied.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Yu came into the spotlight.

And what is Mu Yu doing at this moment?

He was searching the mind of the Mulan Master he had just captured, looking for information about the ancient, barbaric language, as well as his main cultivation techniques, sword skills, and so on.

Mu Yu naturally noticed the attention of the sacred bird Mulan, but he didn't pay it too much attention.

Because he was surrounded by more than twenty Nascent Soul stage puppets, even if the Mulan Sacred Bird suddenly launched an attack, it would be enough to buy him some time.

Just as Mu Yu was busy searching the soul, the sacred bird Mu Lan seized the opportunity to launch an attack.

But it doesn't matter, this is a battlefield, and Mu Yu naturally has cultivators from the Tiannan region to help him.

Although they didn't know why Mu Yu wanted to search the souls of the enemy's Nascent Soul on the battlefield, the seven cultivators, each wielding a variety of rare treasures, still went to meet him.

In terms of cultivation level alone, these seven cultivators are definitely no match for the Mulan Sacred Bird, but those seven rare treasures are very rare items that can be used to form an array.

With the combined efforts of the seven people, plus the assistance of a formation made of magical artifacts, they were able to delay the attack of the Mulan Sacred Bird for a time.

The Demon-Trapping Array, composed of seven treasures—a red ruler, a yellow halberd, a token, a small cauldron, a ruyi scepter, a jade fan, and an ancient mirror—was teetering precariously in the firelight of the Mulan Sacred Bird.

Clearly, even with the power of treasures and formations, controlling the Mulan Sacred Bird, which possesses some Nascent Soul abilities, is not an easy task.

Upon seeing this, Long Han, who was in charge of the grand formation, immediately ordered the Hehuan Sect to release the Yin-Yang Twin Demons.

These Yin-Yang Twin Demons are corpse refiners from the Hehuan Sect, possessing physiques and strengths comparable to those of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

After the Yin-Yang Twin Demons appeared, they immediately absorbed the life essence of two nearby Core Formation stage cultivators before obeying commands and going into battle.

The already crumbling Demon-Trapping Formation did not become more stable with the addition of the Yin and Yang Demons; instead, it felt chaotic, as if its arrangement had been disrupted.

But in any case, it won't collapse immediately.

At this moment, Mu Yu finally completed the soul search of the Nascent Soul cultivator and mastered the barbaric language passed down by the Mulan people.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Yu released the demonic Nascent Soul, and then released five newly crafted Nascent Soul stage puppets, along with twenty Nascent Soul stage puppets from the Void Heaven Palace.

After transferring control of the twenty-five puppets to the demonic Nascent Soul cultivator, Mu Yu took out the Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Yu soared into the sky, arriving near the sacred bird Mulan in the air, and addressed the seven cultivators of the Heavenly Truth Sect:

"Thank you for your hard work, fellow practitioners of the Heavenly Truth Sect. You can leave this to me now."

"Welcome to the fantasy continent of Xianxia novels," Mu Yu said. "The entrance is here:..." The five nascent souls within him simultaneously channeled their magical power into the Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain, then hurled it towards the Mulan Sacred Bird.

After being infused with the power of the Five Elements, the Five Elements Locking Spirit Mountain's power was brought to its fullest potential.

This time, Mu Yu chose to unleash the ultimate binding power of the Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain.

As a result, the entire Five Elements Locking Spirit Mountain was still only the size of a palm, but the Five Elements Binding Power it released completely enveloped the entire Mulan Sacred Bird, completely surrounding it.

In a short time, the Five Elements Binding Power emitted by this treasure actually replaced the Demon-Trapping Array composed of the Seven Treasures of the Heavenly Truth Sect, trapping the Mulan Sacred Bird.

"What a treasure! This treasure is no less than a true celestial artifact."

One of the Seven Innocent Cultivators praised it, and then the seven of them quickly released the Demon-Binding Formation and returned to the rear to recuperate.

The fact that the Seven Immortals of Heaven had been so exhausted by merely trapping the Sacred Bird of Mulan for such a short time was enough to deplete their energy.

The fact that the Seven Immortals of Heaven had been so exhausted by merely trapping the Sacred Bird of Mulan for such a short time was enough to deplete their energy.

Although it's unknown how long Mu Yu can hold out, now that someone has stepped up, the important thing for them is to recover their magical power.

After the Seven Immortals of Heaven's Demon-Trapping Formation was withdrawn, Mu Yu instantly felt a pressure, and the magical power of the five Nascent Souls within his body surged towards the Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain like flowing water.

At this rate, Mu Yu can only hold out for another 15 minutes at most.

If there were only one Nascent Soul, Mu Yu would probably only be able to last for a few dozen breaths.

However, if a Nascent Soul cultivator does not possess the five spiritual roots and has not cultivated the five elemental techniques, they probably wouldn't be able to unleash the full power of this treasure.

The spiritual energy consumed by the Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain is truly terrifying.

It is estimated that the original owner of this item was a Nascent Soul cultivator with five spiritual roots from the Spirit Realm who died in battle during the invasion of the ancient demons. This magic weapon was then finally locked in the Void Heaven Palace.

Of course, these are just Mu Yu's guesses; otherwise, the power of this treasure cannot be explained.

Watching the blue peacock struggling within the power of the Five Elements' confinement, Mu Yu uttered the same barbaric language as Master Yue from the previous era.

"Are you a subordinate of the Heavenly Phoenix Demon King of the Spirit Realm? Did you come to the Human Realm to escape the demonic calamity, or do you have another mission?"

Upon hearing Mu Yu's voice, a hint of surprise flashed in the blue peacock's eyes. Clearly, it hadn't expected that a cultivator would recognize its identity in such a place.

"Who are you? How do you know me?"

For a moment, the firebird transformed from the blue peacock stopped its attack.

Because of Mu Yu's Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain, the Saintess Mulan was unaware of what had happened, only knowing that the attack of the Mulan Sacred Bird had temporarily slowed down.

In an instant, the bronze lamp in Saintess Mulan burned its oil even faster.

"The Spirit Realm is very far from the Human Realm. It is impossible for a human Nascent Soul stage cultivator to summon a sentient projection from the Spirit Realm to descend here."

"Even powerful cultivators in the spirit realm wouldn't care so much about a small tribe in the human world."

"If I hadn't heard your conversation with that Saintess Mulan just now, I probably would have thought you were just some magical power and supernatural abilities transmitted from the spirit world."

"But now that you possess intelligence..."

"Then your divided soul must be hiding somewhere in the human world."

"It seems you're a bit luckier than that Cave Heaven Rat King. That guy has tried several times to use his divided soul to descend to the mortal realm, but he's failed each time."

Mu Yu shared his analysis, though he wasn't entirely sure when he spoke, but based on the blue peacock's reaction, he was probably right.

Speaking of which, sending their souls to the mortal realm is a common practice among these long-lived demon races.

After all, the living environment of the human and demon races in the spirit world is not very good, and there are also calamities such as the invasion of the demon world every once in a while.

"Who are you? How could you possibly know such a thing?"

"And how could you possibly know about the Demon King of the Cave Heaven?"

"Hasn't this interface lost contact with the human race? It's been nearly ten thousand years since anyone ascended!"

Upon hearing Mu Yu's words, the blue peacock became somewhat out of control, launching several fierce attacks and nearly breaking through the control of the Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain.

"Let's talk about this after this great battle. I will take the initiative to go to the Mulan Grassland to find you, fellow Daoist."

"And now, my magic power is about to run out."

Now that it has been confirmed that the other party is not a projection from the spirit world, Mu Yu no longer needs to rush.

Let's not rush into the spirit world; let's focus on raising our cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage first.

"What?! What are you talking about?!"

Answer my question!

Clearly, Mu Yu's riddle-like actions had thoroughly enraged the other party. Countless blue flames began to gather, and the fire-attribute spiritual power in the sky seemed to have vanished.

This move, even in its charging phase, had already ignited the Five Elements Imprisoning Power released by the Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain.

If this move were unleashed, Mu Yu would definitely die.

But it doesn't matter, Mu Yu has made full preparations, otherwise he would not have rashly stepped forward.

"I said, let's talk again when we have time. Can't you see we're at war right now?"

"Well...see you next time?"

As Mu Yu spoke, a pitch-black nascent soul suddenly appeared beside Saintess Mu Lan below. This nascent soul was the demonic nascent soul that Mu Yu had released.

At this moment, the demonic nascent soul had already depleted a considerable amount of its vital energy due to repeatedly using the Nascent Soul Teleportation technique.

But it doesn't matter, the five newly crafted Nascent Soul stage puppets that just appeared beside him can solve all the problems.

Five enormous beams of light tore apart all the defenses that Saintess Mulan had set up to protect the Yuanming Lamp, the ancient bronze lamp.

The speed at which a Nascent Soul cultivator can teleport is extremely fast, which is the main reason why Nascent Soul cultivators are difficult to kill.

Therefore, even if the demonic nascent soul is teleporting with a Yuanming Lamp at this moment, its teleportation speed is already close to the speed at which Mu Yu uses the Thunder Escape Technique.

At this speed, Saintess Mulan simply couldn't stop her.

Even if a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator were here, it would be very difficult to intercept a Nascent Soul cultivator's teleportation.

Special escape techniques like Wind Release and Lightning Release are not something everyone can master.

After the demonic nascent soul took away the main lamp of the Yuanming Lamp, the ritual responsible for maintaining the projection of the Mulan Sacred Bird in the sky was interrupted.

So, just as the blue peacock in the sky had finished gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and was about to do something, it suddenly felt all the magical power in its body dissipate in an instant.

Subconsciously, the blue peacock looked down in the direction of the Saintess Mulan, only to see the demonic nascent soul teleporting over, carrying an ancient bronze lamp in its arms.

"you……"

Accompanied by the somewhat unwilling voice of the blue peacock, the fire-type spiritual energy it had gathered instantly lost control, and the blue sea of ​​fire tumbled in the air a few times before instantly dissipating.

The blue peacock itself shrank rapidly, eventually shrinking to a size of only a few feet before bursting into countless strands of blue hair and disappearing.

Upon seeing this, Mu Yu frowned.

With his current level of understanding, he could only tell that the blue peacock was just a projection. Mu Yu couldn't tell whether it was a projection from the spirit world or from somewhere in the human world.

But Mu Yu speculated that it was most likely the human realm, just like his guess when he tested the sacred bird Mu Lan.

Although he actually hoped the projection came from the spirit world.

Because if a conscious projection of the spirit world could descend so easily, then it would be possible for him to connect with powerful beings in the spirit world.

At that time, with the information he knows, it will be easy for the people of the spirit world to get him out of there.

As for what to do after going up there?

Let's go up first and see what happens. With our talent for avoiding danger and seeking good fortune, we can always find a way to survive. At worst, we can work for the human and demon races for a while.

Unfortunately, it is not an easy thing to transfer consciousness along with magical powers from the spirit world to the mortal realm.

If it's the same interface, summoning a projection is much simpler.

Forget it, let's explore this kind of thing later.

Mu Yu casually took the ancient bronze lamp handed over by the demonic nascent soul, and then retracted the second nascent soul, which had already lost a lot of energy, into his body.

Then, Mu Yu took control of the twenty-five Nascent Soul stage puppets and launched an attack.

As for the target of the attack...

Of course it's Divine Master Mulan!
