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

"My apprentice~"

"I really will miss you."

Standing before the ancient teleportation array, Linghu Patriarch looked at Mu Yu with eyes full of reluctance.

Linghu Patriarch was genuinely afraid that releasing such a Nascent Soul stage seed would mean he would never return.

Linghu Patriarch was almost certain that as long as Mu Yu broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, Huangfeng Valley would surely prosper for a long time.

Even I... if I'm lucky, I might be able to get quite a bit of benefit.

If Mu Yu hadn't repeatedly demonstrated his extraordinary divination talent, Old Ancestor Linghu really wouldn't have let him go too far.

"Master, if you can find the Golden Thunder Bamboo, one of the three legendary divine trees, then this disciple might be able to stay and serve in the sect."

Mu Yu spoke casually, but his words startled Linghu Patriarch.

"My dear disciple, did you go out this time to search for the Golden Thunder Bamboo?"

"That thing has long been extinct in this world. Even if some still remain, they must be growing in various forbidden areas."

"You absolutely mustn't take that risk..."

For a moment, Mu Yu didn't know what to say.

"If Master is worried, then come with me. As long as you keep your cultivation at the Core Formation stage, you shouldn't encounter any danger."

"It's just that if Yellow Maple Valley doesn't have a Nascent Soul stage elder overseeing it for a long time, I wonder..."

Upon hearing this, Elder Linghu's expression immediately changed.

"Go, go, go! Hurry up and go!"

"What kind of disciple have I taken on? He either makes me do chores or makes fun of me."

"Alas, what a misfortune for our sect!"

After exchanging a few jokes to ease the tension, Mu Yu bowed to Ancestor Linghu, then placed a mid-grade spirit stone on the ancient teleportation array and activated it.

After the last mid-grade spirit stone was placed in, the teleportation array emitted a muffled "humming" sound and burst out with a huge wave of spiritual energy, which collided with the surrounding array.

This formation was personally set up by Ancestor Linghu. If it were not set up with the magical power of a Nascent Soul cultivator, there would be no way to block such spiritual energy fluctuations.

When Mu Yu returns, a similar formation will need to be set up on the other side.

However, the other side is an isolated island with insufficient spiritual energy and few cultivators around. Mu Yu can expand the range of the formation, so that even those with Core Formation cultivation should be able to achieve a similar effect.

"Master, I'm going."

"Don't worry, if I want to, there's no dangerous place in this world that I can set foot in."

Immediately afterwards, Mu Yu, holding the Great Teleportation Token, began the teleportation.

……

The teleportation didn't feel very good, but Mu Yu only experienced slight discomfort, as most of the pressure was blocked by the blue light emitted by the Great Teleportation Token.

At the other end of the teleportation was a dark stone house, empty except for the dust.

After scanning the surroundings with his divine sense, Mu Yu followed the steps to the exit and moved the huge boulder blocking it.

After the rocks were moved, a salty, damp sea breeze filled Mu Yu's nostrils, and the boundless blue sea appeared before her eyes.

Finally... we've arrived at the Chaotic Star Sea.

After a brief moment of reflection, Mu Yu immediately began setting up an array on the island.

With his Core Formation stage cultivation and decent array formation skills, Mu Yu only spent three days setting up an array that was almost comparable to the protective arrays of some sects, thus concealing the island.

The formation set up this time is similar to the ancient restriction formation, and it does not contain items such as formation plates or formation flags.

Breaking the formation will require a great deal of effort.

After the formation was activated, all that could be seen in the distance was a stretch of sea, with no trace of any islands.

Even when monsters and fleets occasionally pass by, they will gradually deviate from the island's course under the influence of the illusion array.

In this way, the place is now completely safe.

After memorizing the island's exact location, Mu Yu transformed into a streak of light and circled the area several times, finding no trace of any cultivators or mortals.

Finally relieved, Mu Yu randomly chose a direction and began searching for the locals of Luanxinghai.

After flying at full speed for two hours, Mu Yu spotted a huge sea ship.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Mu Yu discovered that the vast majority of people on the ship were Qi Refining stage cultivators, along with a considerable number of ordinary people.

Concealing his presence, he quietly landed on the deck, recording everyone's conversation through his divine sense.

The language of the Chaotic Star Sea is completely different from that of the Southern Tian region.

However, relying on the powerful memory of a cultivator and combining it with some relevant scenes, Mu Yu kept his divine sense covering the entire ship and spent two days completely figuring out the language and script of the Chaotic Star Sea.

After doing all this, Mu Yu left quietly without alerting anyone.

Based on the nautical charts copied from the ship, Mu Yu found a place called Kui Xing Island.

As Mu Yu approached Kui Xing Island, he released his magical power, which soon attracted an old man in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. I encountered a demonic beast while out and about, and in my escape, I accidentally lost the nautical chart for this area, which is why I am somewhat lost."

"May I purchase a sea chart of this area from you, fellow Daoist? It would be enough to allow me to return to Tianxing City."

The old man, who was in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, initially had a somewhat unfriendly expression, but his attitude immediately became amiable after Mu Yu mentioned Tianxing City.

"Oh, I see. That's easy. I am Mu Long. Would you be interested in visiting my Kui Xing Island?"

Master Mulong chuckled and tossed over a jade slip.

Mu Yu caught the jade slip, probed it with his divine sense, and after confirming that it was a sea chart, he bowed to Master Mulong in gratitude.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Mulong. However, I am injured and cannot continue to bother you. I will take my leave now."

"This is my gift of gratitude!"

After Mu Yu finished speaking, he immediately transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

Looking at the mid-level beginner talisman in his hand, Daoist Mulong pondered for a moment, but ultimately could not suppress the greed in his heart. He transformed into a streak of light and chased after Mu Yu in the direction she had left.

After an incense stick had burned, Daoist Mulong followed Mu Yu and arrived at a deserted island that appeared to be uninhabited.

At this moment, Master Mulong realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.

In the blink of an eye, the once desolate island has been transformed into a lush jungle.

"Formation!!!"

Master Mulong cried out in shock, his face filled with regret.

"I originally didn't intend to kill anyone."

"After all, the first battle after reaching the Core Formation stage is a fight against someone of a higher level, which is a bit too much."

"But there's nothing I can do, you came along anyway."

Mu Yu's voice came from all directions of the formation, and it was very calm, showing no signs of injury whatsoever.

"Damn it...you think you've got me cornered?"

The Wooden Dragon Taoist's face was filled with murderous intent. He made hand seals and cast a spell. Soon, two enormous wooden dragons appeared out of thin air, carrying unparalleled power as they swept across the surrounding area.

The method used by Daoist Mulong is exactly what most cultivators do when trapped in a formation: break the formation with force!

Theoretically, any formation can be broken if the attack is powerful enough.

But actually...
