After the death of the Ye family's Grand Elder, the remaining Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Ye family were basically unable to cause any trouble.

Occasionally, some who saw the situation was not good and tried to escape, but they could not escape the Azure Origin Sword Formation at all, or they could not outrun Mu Yu's lightning escape technique.

In short, after the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, Mu Yu had already dealt with all the enemies, gained eight Nascent Soul cultivators, as well as some magic treasures, storage bags, and the like.

After quickly dividing the spoils with Han Li and Nangong Wan, Mu Yu said, "Since we failed to kill the Ancient Demon, it doesn't matter."

"It should still be some time before Yuan Sha is freed."

"Let's take advantage of this time and go treasure hunting nearby."

"Be aware that the Ye family's opening of Kunwu Mountain is a big commotion, and some cultivators from the Great Jin Dynasty have also entered. If you encounter someone you can't defeat, be sure to escape."

Mu Yu gave a brief explanation, and then stopped pursuing the ancient demon's divided soul, instead preparing to explore Kunwu Mountain.

Soon, Mu Yu led Han Li and Nangong Wan to a large square. At the other end of the square were more than a dozen stone steps leading in different directions.

"Don't go to the Demon Suppression Hall and Kunwu Hall yet. They are quite dangerous. Kunwu Hall is actually alright, but the Demon Suppression Hall contains a fragment of the Yuan Sha Saint Ancestor's soul. This is not an enemy you can handle."

Mu Yu gave a brief reminder, and then continued:

"Of all these places, I only know about the treasures in the Spirit Forging Hall. Han Li, you're fast, so go and retrieve those treasures, and then explore other places."

After briefly introducing the treasures of the Spirit Forging Hall, Mu Yu headed towards the Huiming Pavilion.

Judging from the name, there's a high probability that this place contains various martial arts manuals.

Mu Yu is not lacking in spiritual treasures, but he is lacking in various cultivation techniques and miscellaneous knowledge such as weapon crafting.

The decline of spiritual energy over the past ten thousand years has caused the human realm to lag far behind in terms of cultivation techniques and various miscellaneous skills.

Of course, there are also many new and excellent techniques that have emerged, such as the Invisible Escape Technique created by Old Monster Qiong.

It's just a pity that the cultivation technique is at a lower level.

They sped along, quickly breaking through any restrictions they encountered, but when Mu Yu arrived at Huiming Pavilion, he was still somewhat disappointed.

This place is indeed similar to a library or a Dharma transmission hall, but most of it is now empty.

That's right. Although Kunwu Mountain is a historical site, it's not the kind of site where a family was wiped out or left behind by someone.

This place was originally the mountain gate of a certain force, but due to the demonic calamity, many cultivators fled in panic.

In other words, some important inherited techniques were naturally taken away before they left.

Of course, Mu Yu did not come away empty-handed.

Since some were taken away, there must have been quite a few left over.

Without even discerning what was valuable, Mu Yu simply stuffed everything into her storage bag, including shelves and other items like futons.

After confirming that there was nothing of value in the area, Mu Yu activated his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, choosing a direction to head towards from among the many minor auspicious opportunities.

Mu Yu was somewhat disappointed with Huiming Pavilion.

But there was no other way; there were just too many small auspicious places in Kunwu Mountain. Even Mu Yu couldn't visit every single one, so he could only choose randomly.

As for the direction of the auspicious one, Mu Yu doesn't want to go there for the time being.

The second place Mu Yu went to was a place called Jinshi Pavilion. The restrictions here were very strong, and even with Mu Yu's current mastery of array formations, it took him a long time to get in.

After entering the Golden Stone Pavilion, Mu Yu did not immediately search for treasures. Instead, he recorded the restriction and planned to have Xin Ruyin complete it after returning to Tiannan.

Although Mu Yu was confident he could break this ancient restriction, restoring it would require the help of a genius like Xin Ruyin.

Next, we will search for treasures within the Golden Stone Pavilion.

Sure enough, during the hasty evacuation, no one wanted to carry a large amount of space-consuming and troublesome materials.

The environment was not so harsh 10,000 years ago, and some materials were still easy to find in the outside world.

But now, these spiritual objects are very rare.

With just a few quick glances, Mu Yu discovered many rare materials that he was missing, and occasionally he could even see some semi-finished spiritual materials.

Once we get out, we'll definitely be able to refine the Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain into a spiritual weapon.

After spending some time breaking the formation, Mu Yu found several more bulging storage bags on his body, filled with rare materials that could not be found in the current cultivation world.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yu took out the Void Heaven Cauldron and temporarily stored the storage bag inside.

Using spatial artifacts to store items in storage bags is actually very dangerous, because once the restrictions inside the storage bag are broken and the items return to their original size, it can easily cause all sorts of accidents.

But in the short term, there shouldn't be any major problems.

After arriving in the spirit world, you'll need to get a larger storage bracelet.

Carrying too many storage bags can be really inconvenient.

After clearing out Jinshi Pavilion again, Mu Yu prepared to go to other places to look around, but at the entrance of Jinshi Pavilion, she saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

The feeling of familiarity stemmed from the fact that Mu Yu had been looking for him for a long time, while the feeling of unfamiliarity arose from the fact that the two had never met before.

"The aura of the Soul-Sealing Curse... it seems it's been mostly broken!"

After appearing in front of Mu Yu, Old Demon Qian slowly spoke.

At the same time, Mu Yu could sense that the Soul-Sealing Curse within the Demonic Nascent Soul was recovering at a very strange speed.

"Ha, interesting! I haven't even looked for you, and you've come to me on your own."

A hint of mockery flashed in Mu Yu's eyes. He then released more than twenty puppets to begin besieging the old demon Qian.

Upon seeing Mu Yu's puppet, the old demon Qian laughed instead of getting angry. He suddenly turned around, and five gray-white pillars of energy emerged from all around him.

And what appeared from that grayish-white column of air was none other than the infamous Five-Hearted Demon.

These five demons with one heart don't look ugly. Although they are just skeletons, the skeletons are crystal clear and look quite nice.

Clearly, for some unknown reason, this old demon Qian summoned the true form of the Five-Hearted Demon as soon as they met.

Five skulls spewed out a stream of emerald green flames, which instantly enveloped the puppet, greatly reducing its spirituality at the Nascent Soul stage, and even causing its body to melt slightly.

Upon seeing this, Mu Yu frowned slightly, clearly not expecting the demonic fire to be so powerful.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yu produced a ball of grayish-white flame in his hand and casually threw it out.

This so-called Ghostly Sacred Flame, in terms of sheer power, surpasses the Azure Ice Flame and is more than enough to deal with the flames spewed by the Five Hearts Demon.

The Qingyuan Sword Formation would take some time to set up. Mu Yu knew that the Asura Sacred Flame alone could not hold off Qian Laomo, so he took out the Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain and sacrificed it.

The small hill, no bigger than a palm, released five-colored spiritual light, transforming into a five-colored light curtain that pressed down.

After Mu Yu refined the five-colored spiritual light extracted from the Spirit Rhinoceros Peacock, the mountain's suppressive power increased significantly. However, after refining it, its use became somewhat unsmooth.

It's probably because the five-colored spiritual light failed to integrate better with the Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain.

This is something that Mu Yu can only deal with when she has time.

Although there are some issues, the five-colored light shield released by the Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain is still sufficient to restrict the movements of Old Demon Qian.

After the five-colored light shield appeared, Old Demon Qian immediately activated the spell. Driven by the spell, the Five Hearts Demon strangely lunged towards the center, and in a flash of gray light, the five skeletons were fused together.

After a giant skeleton appeared, it spat out a mouthful of gray light, which rushed directly towards the five-colored light barrier.

Under the impact of the gray light, the Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain trembled violently, and the five-colored light shield that was originally used to suppress it also became somewhat dim and flickering under this attack.

The gray gas spewed out by the Five-Hearted Demon is a kind of filthy demonic energy, a kind of demonic energy specifically designed to pollute magical artifacts.

This is a kind of demonic supernatural power that can only be refined from the remains of Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Clearly, the spirituality of the Five Extremes Locked Spirit Mountain has suffered considerable damage under this filthy attack.

After all, it's not a spiritual artifact, so being able to achieve this level is already the limit of the Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain.

It seems it's time to upgrade the Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain.

Thinking this, Mu Yu reached out and directly retrieved the Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain.

The next moment, a layer of cyan light enveloped Qian Laomo and his five sons, Tongxinmo, with countless cyan sword threads condensing within the light.

It was the Azure Origin Sword Formation that Mu Yu had already set up.

"Hmph! A sword formation? You think you can defeat me with something like that?"

Although Qian Laomo looked down on Mu Yu's sword formation, he secretly became more vigilant, and various spells poured into the skeleton formed by the fusion of the Five Hearts Demons like raindrops.

The giant skull emitted a low, buzzing growl, and its eyes flashed crimson.

Seeing this, Mu Yu calmly made a sword hand seal and said indifferently:

"Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators? It's not like I haven't killed them before."

"Soon, you will become the sixth late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to die by my hand."

Upon hearing this, Old Demon Qian's pupils constricted sharply, somewhat incredulous.

Old Demon Qian was naturally aware of the affairs of the Mulan Grassland and the Yinluo Sect Master, but he truly did not know about the others.

After becoming more vigilant, Qian Laomo noticed that countless dense cyan sword threads had suddenly appeared in the sword formation.

With such a large number of sword energies forming threads, it's no wonder that five late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators died at his hands.

With such a large number of sword energies forming threads, it's no wonder that five late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators died at his hands.

At this moment, Qian Laomo regretted it; he shouldn't have given Mu Yu time to use the sword formation.

Even so, Qian Laomo relied on his own supernatural powers and did not take the dense blue sword threads seriously.

Six hundred and forty-eight cyan sword threads surged toward the giant skeleton as soon as they appeared.

Upon seeing this, Old Demon Qian immediately activated the most powerful defensive divine power after the Five Demons of the Same Heart merged.

The giant skeleton let out a shrill scream, and a gray light enveloped its entire body.

This gray glow is composed of the purest filthy demonic energy, and it has a certain defilement and restraining effect on all magical treasures and supernatural powers.

If the cyan sword light that Mu Yu is currently displaying is the true form of the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, then its spirituality has already been damaged to some extent.

However, these cyan sword threads are all composed of sword energy, so they naturally have no effect. It's just that after coming into contact with the filthy demonic energy, the mana required to drive the sword threads is consumed more, but it doesn't matter.

However, it would still be somewhat troublesome to completely annihilate Old Demon Qian with sword threads of this level.

Mu Yu was reluctant to expend too much mana, because setting up the Azure Origin Sword Formation already required a considerable amount of mana.

Under the control of the Muyu Sword Technique, nine cyan sword threads condensed into seventy-two illusory Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords.

At this moment, these seventy-two Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, formed from sword energy, were no weaker than the real Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword in terms of attack power...

No, it's actually much more than that.

He used the Sword Shadow Splitting Technique to separate nine sword shadows, and then merged these nine sword shadows into one.

In this way, an illusory sword that can surpass the original body in a short period of time was created!

"This is the second stage of the Azure Origin Sword Technique. You should be the first one to see it."

As Mu Yu spoke, the seventy-two Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, which were made of sword energy, transformed once again into azure-gold sword threads.

This time, the cyan-gold sword threads can be clearly seen to be formed by the entanglement and condensation of nine original cyan sword threads.

Furthermore, as these cyan-gold sword threads moved, one could clearly feel the original nine cyan sword threads rotating, as if they were a small drill.

The seventy-two cyan-gold sword energies completely ignored the layer of gray light covering the giant skull's body, piercing through it directly as if there were no obstacles at all.

But soon, the holes in the skull were restored to their original state under the gray glow of the sunset.

Clearly, these five demons possess true immortality; as long as they are not completely crushed and refined, they cannot be killed under any circumstances.

"Immortality... unfortunately, there's never been such a thing as immortality!"

Mu Yu changed his sword technique again, and the seventy-two cyan-gold sword threads instantly dissipated and then transformed back into dense cyan sword threads.

The combined attack is indeed very strong, but it doesn't cause much damage to Old Demon Qian.

After all, both the Five-Hearted Demon and the demon itself possess a kind of supernatural power that grants immunity to damage.

Therefore, when dealing with this type of person, extreme attack power is not as effective as extreme quantity.

This time, however, the number of cyan sword threads was no longer 648, but a truly endless stream.

Mu Yu actually imitated a pattern similar to the Great Geng Sword Formation within the Qingyuan Sword Formation, using a large amount of sword energy to replace the sharpness of the Geng metal originally needed, and then using other methods to reproduce it.

With the power of the sword formation, the effect of another sword formation is reproduced.

Although this is fundamentally different from the real Great Geng Sword Formation, the difference in power between the two is not significant.

The seemingly endless cyan sword threads relentlessly slashed at the giant skull. Each strike only caused very minor damage, but when the number accumulated to a certain extent, it would unleash devastating damage.

Upon seeing this, Old Demon Qian quickly formed hand seals and activated his demonic power.

The next moment, from the very center of the azure sword threads, five strands of crystalline black silk emerged and returned to Qian Laomo's side, transforming into five pure white skeletons amidst the grayish-white aura.

"The probability of being backfired by this kind of supernatural power, which transforms demons into formless beings, is quite high."

"I'm curious, will you be killed by me, or will you be devoured by the demon?"

As Mu Yu spoke, the dense cyan sword threads enveloped Qian Laomo's entire body.

The individual sword threads of this level are not particularly powerful, but their quantity has reached a limit, so much so that even Old Demon Qian dared not let them get close.

If he gets entangled, even if his demonic powers are strong, he will be gradually devoured.

Soon, Qian Laomo was caught up by the dense cyan sword threads. The countless cyan sword threads were like a slow, agonizing death, constantly eroding Qian Laomo's flesh and blood.

After several demonic artifacts were destroyed in succession, Old Demon Qian could only transform his body into a bloody shadow, allowing the cyan sword threads to pierce through his body.

Clearly, this Old Demon Qian not only grants the Five Hearts Demons the power of immortality, but also possesses a demonic ability that allows his own body to temporarily become invisible.

But all of this... is meaningless.

As Mu Yu just said, there is no true immortality in this world. The so-called blood shadow that can turn the physical body into nothingness in a short time is essentially another form of physical existence.

As the nearly endless cyan sword threads surged up, although each individual sword thread did not cause him much damage after piercing through, the sheer number of cyan sword threads was overwhelming.

If there are enough of them, even ants can devour an elephant, let alone Qian Laomo's little tricks.

"That's enough!"

After being chased for a long time, Old Demon Qian finally couldn't bear it any longer. Countless blood mists re-condensed together, and in the condensation of blood light, a bead the size of a fist appeared out of thin air, replacing his body.

Immediately afterwards, a ghostly face emerged from the blood-red bead, and a breath of black gas was exhaled, transforming into a banner a few inches in size.

This item is naturally the treasure of the Yinluo Sect—the Ghost Banner.

"You dare to bring this out?"

Mu Yu sneered, took the Myriad Soul Banner from the Demonic Nascent Soul, and released nearly ten thousand demonic souls.

At first, these demonic souls were unaware of anything, but when the aura of the Ghost Banner appeared, all the demonic souls became violent.

At this moment, Old Demon Qian had just summoned a few evil spirits from the Ghost Banner, intending to buy himself some time.

But when he came to his senses, looking at the countless demonic spirits swarming throughout the Azure Origin Sword Formation, he felt a chill run down his spine.

This level of treasure is no weaker than the Myriad Demon Banner in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

At this moment, Qian Laomo realized that Mu Yu was not a person who could be deduced by common sense, and he also knew very well that he had almost no way out.

"Soul-Sealing Curse! You've been struck by the Soul-Sealing Curse!"

"Spare my life, and I will give you the method to break the Soul-Sealing Curse."

"If you persist in your ruthless pursuit, I will completely erase the method to undo the Soul-Sealing Curse from your soul!"
