This kind of scene is actually gradually spreading to other islands.
The bounty of five level-seven demon cores is enough to tempt anyone.
Moreover, this concerns the Extreme Yin Ancestor, one of the most powerful figures in the Chaotic Star Sea's demonic path. Who wouldn't take a second look? Or say a word more?
Yun Hua, who had a bounty on his head, didn't care about any of that; most Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't see through his disguise.
Over the next few years, Yunhua began to experience the lives of different people.
In his first year, he disguised himself as an ordinary middle-aged man and opened a teahouse on Kuixing Island, welcoming and seeing off customers, joking with them, and experiencing the ordinariness of life.
The following year, Yunhua faked his death and became an old beggar, enduring hardship and scorn to experience the harsh realities of life.
In the third year, Yunhua became a farmer, working in the fields every day, working from sunrise to sunset, and experiencing the joys of life.
In the fourth year, Yunhua transformed into a petty thief, spending his days stealing chickens and dogs, experiencing evil.
For four years, Yunhua enjoyed what others had lived. He enjoyed the feeling so much that he almost became addicted to it.
During the time he was experiencing the thrill of stealing, he was intoxicated by the pleasure of getting something for nothing. With his cultivation level of almost reaching the Nascent Soul stage, no one could detect that he was stealing. He was deluded by the five aggregates and his five afflictions were burning intensely.
This is his inner demon tribulation, an inevitable tribulation to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Some people can trigger it in advance, while others only experience it when they break through.
This is a deep-seated obsession within a person, representing their deepest desire. Once one becomes addicted, it is almost impossible to escape.
Yunhua was probably lucky. When he was on Blue Star, as a recent college graduate majoring in civil engineering, the real estate industry was already in a slump.
Finding a good job was difficult, and as an orphan, he had no choice but to become a construction worker to make a living, thus beginning his 24/7 life without a break.
Perhaps what he truly desires is to gain without effort. Even after transmigrating to the world of "Covering the Sky" and obtaining the Gate to the Other Shore, he has already satisfied this desire by gaining without effort from it.
So even if he fell into inner demons, they were only of this low-level kind, which might be a reward for the fact that he had never done evil.
When he was a thief, he stole from a middle-aged cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining. The cultivator didn't even notice that his storage bag was missing. When Yun Hua took the stolen spirit stones to drink, he found the middle-aged man wailing and contemplating suicide.
Then the middle-aged man's heartfelt weeping woke Yunhua. What had he done? He had stolen the savings of a low-level cultivator who had no grudge against him. Those dozens of low-grade spirit stones might have been his life savings.
Awakened by the cries, Yunhua, though having overcome her inner demons and able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage at any time, was consumed by self-blame.
He asked the middle-aged man what had happened.
It turned out that the middle-aged man was named Sun Yuanxing. His daughter had been kidnapped by a gang in the city. After making inquiries, he learned that it was a gang called Xinyi Gang that had kidnapped her. This gang had more than ten late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, and the gang leader was still in the Foundation Establishment stage.
He sought help from many people, but no one was willing to help until he heard that a Foundation Establishment cultivator was willing to help, but he needed ninety-nine low-grade spirit stones and also had to agree to give his daughter to him as a maid.
He had no choice but to borrow from various sources to raise the money, only to have it stolen by Yunhua. In despair, he contemplated suicide.
Yunhua felt extremely guilty, so she told him the truth. After returning the spirit stone to him, Yunhua told him that she was willing to help him find his daughter.
Chapter Thirty-Four: The Journey to the Myriad Sounds Gate
Yunhua led the middle-aged man to the Xinyi Gang, where they killed the other gang members and captured the gang leader to search his soul.
Through soul searching, it was learned that Sun Yuanxing's daughter, Sun Xiaoxiao, was sold to the Miaoyin Sect by the Xinyi Gang and is no longer on Kuixing Island.
"Senior Yun, how is it? Is there any news about my daughter?" Sun Yuanxing asked anxiously.
"Your daughter was sold to the Miaoyin Sect in Tianxing City, but she should be fine now," Yunhua said calmly.
"Senior, why does the Miaoyin Sect want to buy my daughter?" Sun Yuanxing was terrified that the Miaoyin Sect was using her daughter as a furnace.
"This Miaoyin Sect, though called a sect, is more like a merchant alliance. They are adept at navigating various forces, so naturally they need some beautiful female cultivators to form marriage alliances and establish relationships," Yunhua explained.
This sect has always been dominated by female disciples, so the sect leader can only be a female disciple.
The Myriad Sounds Sect is not considered powerful in the Chaotic Star Sea. Apart from the sect leader, the highest-ranking members are the left and right envoys. Of course, they usually hire two or three guest elders at the Core Formation stage as backers.
Among the many mid-level powers, it's somewhere in the middle, not quite at the top but not at the bottom either.
However, despite this, other forces generally do not easily provoke this sect. This is because the female cultivators in the Miaoyin Sect are all beautiful and talented.
Outstanding female cultivators from their sects often become their dual cultivation partners, which are sought after by their faction, thus gaining them considerable support, whether overt or covert.
Yunhua brought Sun Yuanxing to Tianxing City via the teleportation array on Kuixing Island.
Tianxing City was built by Tianxing Palace from a giant island in the middle of the Inner Star Sea into a super city.
Yun Hua was no stranger to the Heavenly Star Palace, as it was a super power in the Chaotic Star Sea.
In addition to "Celestial Star City", Star Palace also established directly administered sub-islands on three of the largest islands in each of the eight regions surrounding the Inner Star Sea and the four regions in the center.
These islands, known as the Outer Twenty-Four Star Islands and the Inner Twelve Star Islands, stand in a triangular formation around "Celestial Star City." Kui Star Island is one of the outer islands under the jurisdiction of this "Star Palace."
In this way, these star islands, along with the numerous smaller islands attached to them, can all be considered part of the Star Palace.
After exiting the teleportation array in Tianxing City, Yun Hua headed straight for the Miaoyin Sect's headquarters.
At this time, the Miaoyin Sect was shrouded in gloom. Not long ago, the sect leader was escorting a batch of important supplies, but the supplies were robbed and the sect leader was killed.
The two Core Formation elders who escaped said that the Hidden Fiend Sect had ambushed them, their sect leader had been killed in battle, and their supplies had been stolen.
They are currently being summoned by the new sect leader and the two envoys to discuss how to take revenge on the Hidden Fiend Sect.
Suddenly, a powerful pressure forced them to their seats, rendering them unable to move. Even the two envoys, who were at the early stage of Core Formation, were unable to resist the pressure.
As Yunhua led Sun Yuanxing in, the members of Miaoyin Sect thought that their enemies had come to their door.
As Yun Hua withdrew his oppressive aura, the suppressed members of the Miaoyin Sect stood up shakily and bowed.
"Senior, I wonder if you have any grudges against my Miaoyin Sect? I am Wang Ning, the sect leader of Miaoyin Sect, and I wish to apologize to you." A young woman with beautiful features and wearing a purple veil stepped forward and bowed.
"This is Sun Yuanxing. His daughter, Sun Xiaoxiao, was sold to your sect by the Xinyi Gang. I brought him here to find her." Yunhua found a seat, picked up the spiritual tea on the table, and said while drinking it.
The members of Miaoyin Sect could only smile wryly. They thought the Yinsha Sect had come to eliminate them completely, but it turned out they were looking for someone, and the trouble was caused by their own sect's manager.
At this moment, all they wanted was to drag out the manager who bought and sold female cultivators and tear him to pieces. In fact, the Miaoyin Sect did not allow the buying and selling of female cultivators, but someone was courting death.
"I hope you will forgive us, senior. Miaoyin Sect has been lax in its management of its subordinates. We will give you an explanation." Wang Ning immediately arranged for someone to find Sun Xiaoxiao and the manager who bought and sold female cultivators.
"I can let it go, but I need to go to your sect's treasury to select three items." Yunhua knew that the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo should still be at the Miaoyin Sect.
"Thank you, senior. Miaoyin Sect is willing to comply." Wang Ning immediately agreed, as Miaoyin Sect preferred to avoid trouble.
Not long after, a young girl dressed in the attire of the Miaoyin Sect and a middle-aged man whose cultivation had been crippled were brought over.
“Senior, this is Sun Xiaoxiao and Manager Li, who deals in female cultivators,” said a disciple of the Miaoyin Sect who was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
"Father, you've finally come to find me?" Thirteen or fourteen-year-old Sun Xiaoxiao rushed into Sun Yuanxing's arms, tears welling up in her eyes.
"It's all my fault for being useless. It's all thanks to Senior Yun that we were able to find you." Sun Yuanxing pulled Sun Xiaoxiao along to thank Yun Hua.
"No need to thank me. I'm just settling my karmic debts. I've overcome my inner demon tribulation thanks to you. I can grant you three reasonable requests," Yunhua replied.
"A tribulation of inner demons! It seems this senior is about to form his Nascent Soul." The members of the Myriad Sounds Sect looked at each other in shock.
"Speak, what are your plans?" Yunhua looked at the Sun father and daughter.
"Thank you, Senior Yun. I would like to ask you to take Xiaoxiao as your disciple. I also wish to follow in your footsteps," Sun Yuanxing said after careful consideration.
“Okay, there’s one last request. You can think about it carefully.” Yunhua replied to Sun Xiaoxiao, who had two spiritual roots.
“Fellow Daoist, the Miaoyin Sect wishes to purchase this last request. Is that possible?” Wang Ning asked Sun Yuanxing.
"This...this!" Sun Yuanxing was somewhat embarrassed. Even a fool would know that a promise from a Nascent Soul cultivator was far more important than any Myriad Sounds Sect.
"Whatever you say. I'll go to the Myriad Sounds Sect's treasury first, and tell me when I get back." Yunhua followed a Core Formation stage elder away.
"Fellow Daoist, the Miaoyin Sect can appoint you as an elder, and you will receive a monthly dividend from the Miaoyin Sect. In addition, we have promised you three things that the Miaoyin Sect can do. How about it?" Wang Ning raised his stakes.
"This... I thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist. I have already promised to follow Senior Yun, so I cannot be fickle. I hope you will not make things difficult for me." Sun Yuanxing was certainly not a fool.
Outside the treasure vault of the Wonderful Sound Gate.
"Senior, this is the treasure trove of the Wonderful Sound Sect. Please feel free to choose whatever you like."
Yunhua entered the storeroom and looked at the dazzling array of treasures. Unmoved, Yunhua scanned the contents with his divine sense and took out a box about a foot long, inside which was a section of bamboo root.
'Thunder Bamboo, with its ability to ward off evil and ward off divine thunder, is truly extraordinary,' Yunhua thought to himself.
Yunhua then looked at a colorful piece of ore, picked it up and examined it carefully, and was delighted.
'If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Five Elements Magnetic Ore.' This is the origin of the Five Elements Magnetic Divine Light, the signature technique of the Heavenly Star Twin Saints. Although the Heavenly Star Twin Saints relied on a Five Elements Magnetic Ore Mine.
However, this piece of Five Elements Magnetic Ore is enough for Yunhua to refine a magical artifact or supernatural power containing the Five Elements Magnetic Ore.
Finally, Yunhua looked at the only treasure that he couldn't understand. He took it into his hand. It was a bone the size of a palm. Although he didn't know what kind of creature it was, Yunhua's divine sense couldn't penetrate it.
There were some strange symbols or characters on the bone. After putting the three items away, Yunhua walked towards the reception room.
"Sect Leader Wang, this matter is settled, farewell." After saying this, Yun Hua was preparing to leave with Sun Yuanxing and his daughter, as he also planned to return to Xiaohuan Island to prepare for Nascent Soul formation.
"Senior, please wait. I would like to ask for your help in dealing with the Hidden Fiend Sect." Wang Ning hurriedly said.
Yunhua did not expect that even though she had killed Wu Chou, Wang Ning's mother was still killed. In the original story, Wu Chou followed the orders of the Extreme Yin Ancestor and prepared to destroy the Hidden Fiend Sect.
So he plotted to kill Wang Ning's mother and frame the Hidden Fiend Sect, intending to weaken both the Hidden Fiend Sect and the Wonderful Sound Sect, so that he could destroy the Hidden Fiend Sect and take Wang Ning as his concubine.
However, Wu Chou was killed by Yun Hua more than 30 years ago. Although it is unknown who orchestrated all of this, the shadow of the Extreme Yin Ancestor must have been behind it all.
“I have no interest in your disputes, but if you can search for Five Elements Magnetic Ore for me, I can guarantee your safety behind the scenes.” After some thought, Yun Hua made what seemed like a demanding request.
After all, most of the Five Elements Magnetic Ore is possessed by the Heavenly Star Twin Saints, making it extremely precious and hard to find.
"Thank you, senior. I am just about to gather manpower. Once we have enough people, I will ask for your help." Wang Ning's brows, which had been furrowed with worry over her mother's death these past few days, relaxed.
Chapter Thirty-Five: Nascent Soul Formation
Yunhua, holding the communication jade talisman given to him by Wang Ning, returned to Kuixing Island with Sun Yuanxing and the other two. They sped all the way to Xiaohuan Island, where Yunhua handed them over to Xin Ruyin before entering his secluded cultivation room.
Yunhua is planning to form his Nascent Soul. As Yunhua's cultivation level increases and he acquires more and more resources, the world's rejection of him becomes more and more severe.
Perhaps after he forms his Nascent Soul, it won't be long before he is expelled from this world, since Yun Hua has snatched many opportunities from Han Li, the chosen one of the planes.
Yun Hua first took out a large number of top-grade spirit stones to consume for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. After all, Yun Hua needed to condense three Nascent Souls, which consumed four or five times more than ordinary cultivators.
As the secluded cultivation room filled with a massive amount of pure spiritual energy, the thirty-six acupoints opened during the Foundation Establishment stage and the one hundred and eight acupoints opened during the Core Formation stage exerted their power simultaneously, forming one hundred and forty-four spiritual energy vortexes to supply the three dantians for absorption by the golden core.
The three fist-sized golden cores spun rapidly, and as more and more spiritual energy was absorbed, cracks began to appear on the surface of the three golden cores.
This process lasted for a whole month. Finally, the golden core, having reached a certain limit, exploded, revealing three tiny figures, each three inches tall.
The three Nascent Souls were lifelike and looked exactly like Yunhua. The three Nascent Souls exhaled a breath of pure Yuan Qi, and the sixty-four acupoints surrounding the three Dantian were opened. Yunhua also became a genuine Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
In addition to strengthening the nascent soul, each stage of the Nascent Soul realm requires opening sixty-four acupoints around the three dantian, totaling five hundred and seventy-six acupoints. Adding the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages, a total of seven hundred and twenty acupoints are fully opened throughout the body.
After spending several days consolidating his cultivation level, Yunhua took out the Five Elements Magnetic Ore, Thunder Bamboo, and the Bone of an Unknown Beast.
Yunhua plans to plant the Thunder Bamboo on Xiaohuan Island, as it will be a good choice for refining magic weapons or cultivating supernatural powers in the future.
As for the Five Elements Magnetic Ore, Yunhua plans to use it to cultivate a divine power, which he created by combining the true meaning of the Secret Realm of the Shrouding Heaven Dharma Palace with the Five Elements Divine Light from the Primordial Era novel.
This supernatural power not only has the function of eliminating people with magical weapons, but can also use the power of magnetic energy to protect the body.
As Yunhua refined the Five Elements Magnetic Ore and integrated it into the Five Elements Magnetic Divine Light Divine Power Seed that he had condensed, a faint five-colored divine light began to appear around Yunhua's body. Currently, this divine power is limited by the quantity of Five Elements Magnetic Ore and has only been initially mastered.
After absorbing the five-colored divine light into his body, Yunhua took out the strange beast bone. There were some blurry runes on the surface of the beast bone, the meaning of which was completely unknown.
Even the divine sense of a Nascent Soul cultivator could only penetrate slightly. Yunhua tried various methods but could not break through, so he had no choice but to resort to his last resort.
Yunhua summoned the projection of the Gate to the Other Shore, and as the Gate to the Other Shore extended a chain of laws, it absorbed the beast bones.
Then it spat out a divine light that entered Yunhua's mind. This was a divine power of a demon beast, the Void Wind Rift Technique, a divine power based on the laws of space and wind.
The Void Rift Beast is a rare divine beast from the Spirit Realm, possessing unparalleled speed. It was hunted down by ancient powerful beings who used its wings to cultivate the Void Rift Technique.
Yun Hua cannot find the Void Rift Beast, so he cannot master it. However, Yun Hua plans to modify it, as he is currently lacking a certain escape technique.
After comprehending the Void Rift Wind Technique, Yunhua began to continuously adjust the structure of the Dao Fruit power projected from the Gate of the Other Shore, making it suitable for the human body.
Three months later, Yunhua received a letter from Wang Ning, saying that he had gathered a team and invited him to come, and that he had prepared the Five Elements Magnetic Ore he had collected during this period.
Yunhua had no choice but to stop modifying the Void Rift Wind Technique. The initial modification was completed, and it could form energy-state void rift wings on its back. However, its escape speed still could not reach the original version and needed further modification.
Yunhua walked out of the secluded cultivation room and came to the herb garden. He found an open space and planted the Thunder Bamboo. He took out the Palm Heaven Bottle and dripped a few drops of the Heavenly Creation Liquid. The Thunder Bamboo quickly took root and sprouted, growing to three feet tall.
Yunhua's subordinates used a level-four formation to protect her. After bidding farewell to Xin Ruyin, Yunhua used the Void Rift Wind Technique, and a pair of energy wings unfurled from her back, one transparent white and the other transparent cyan.
With the Void Rift Wind Technique, Yunhua's escape speed increased by at least six times, and he arrived at Kuixing Island in a very short time. He then took the teleportation array and arrived at Tianxing City.
Upon entering the Miaoyin Sect's residence, Yunhua noticed a number of Core Formation stage cultivators, including Han Li, who had already reached the Core Formation stage.
As Yunhua entered, all the Core Formation stage cultivators present watched him intently, since he was the last to arrive.
"Hmph, junior, you've kept me waiting for so long, you have some nerve!" An ugly old man sneered, unleashing a divine attack, intending to give Yun Hua a hard time.
