Lin Shen nodded.
Zhao Pu turned to look at Lin Shen and sized him up. “Alright, let’s go together. This mystic realm was discovered by Senior Brother Lin Chongxiao and the others.”
Han Muye walked into the Sword Pavilion and saw Huang Six sitting behind the long table. Gao Xiaoxuan was writing at the side, and the little white fox was lying in front of the inkstone, dozing off.
He did not know what method Huang Six used to make Gao Xiaoxuan learn how to write from him.
“Sixth Brother, I’m preparing to go down the mountain. Instructor Lin will accompany me.”
Han Muye looked at Huang Six.
Huang Six looked up at him. “You have the final say in the Sword Pavilion now.”
After saying that, he shook his head and said softly, “But I don’t know how long I can help you guard this place. In the end, you’re the one guarding the Sword Pavilion.”
Han Muye knew what Huang Six meant.
Huang Six was determined to go down the mountain to be an ordinary guard and accompany Sixth Sister-in-law.
The Sword Pavilion Elder had already instructed that Han Muye would be in charge of the Sword Pavilion.
Huang Six waved his hand. “Forget it. The sooner you go, the sooner you’ll be back. It’s safer on the mountain.”
What he said was the truth. Now that the Southern Wasteland was attacking, the Western Frontier was really in chaos.
“I have nothing to do in the future. I will stay in the Sword Pavilion.” Han Muye nodded and said softly.
This time, he had to find the follow-up to the body tempering technique.
Otherwise, with his personality, why would he run around at the foot of the mountain?
He wished he could stay in the Sword Pavilion forever.
Han Muye and Lin Shen changed their clothes and quietly went down the mountain with Zhao Pu.
This time, there was no need for Lin Shen to drive the flying boat. Zhao Pu, who had stepped into the Earth Realm, sat in the cabin and drove the flying boat with his divine sense.
In the Earth Realm, his divine sense was powerful enough.
Han Muye roughly calculated that his current soul power was not inferior to a cultivator like Zhao Pu who had just entered the Earth Realm.
However, the power of his soul was used to condense the soul sword qi and turn it into combat strength, but he lacked the power to investigate and control it.
In the cabin, Zhao Pu’s body shone with green light, and the power of earth and stone spread out.
At the Meridian Opening Realm, one’s body could communicate with the power of heaven and earth.
He was from the Earth Rock lineage, so he naturally communicated with the power of the Earth Rock lineage.
This power fused with the spiritual energy and passed through his meridians and dantian. Then it surged up and gathered in his Qi Sea.
When the power in his Qi Sea could condense into a pill, it would be to reach the Golden Core realm and step into the Core Formation realm.
“That mystic realm was explored by Senior Brother Lin Chongxiao and the others. They also brought back the Iron Bull Strength and some other cultivation techniques and treasures.”
Zhao Pu looked at Lin Shen as he spoke.
Lin Shen nodded and said nothing.
He did not want more people to know that Lin Chongxiao’s remnant soul had survived.
“That secret place is located in the Green Wheat Mountain. There are demon beasts roaming around, and it’s possible that we might encounter people from other sects.
“When you meet in the wild, others don’t care if you’re a disciple of a large sect.
“When it comes to killing people for treasures, the people from the bigger sects are more likely to be fat sheep.”
As Zhao Pu spoke, he turned his gaze to Han Muye. Seeing that his expression did not change, he laughed and said, “Of course, as disciples of a large sect, if we could be injured by a small sect’s disciples and rogue cultivators, then we wouldn’t be called a large sect.”
The disciples of small sects and itinerant cultivators did not have any resources or cultivation techniques. They also had few protective treasures.
If they could not even defeat such a person at the same cultivation level, it would really be a disgrace to the large sects.
Neither Han Muye nor Lin Shen said anything.
Among the three people present, Han Muye was confident that he could easily defeat Zhao Pu.
As for Lin Shen, he had yet to completely fuse with the Heaven Realm Jade Bone. His combat strength should not be stronger than his.
“Don’t worry, I’m at the Earth Realm after all. I’m already an elder-level expert in other sects. It won’t be a problem to protect you.”
Zhao Pu gaze swept over Han Muye and Lin Shen again, and he grinned.
In his opinion, Lin Shen was better. After all, he had been in the sect for so many years. Although his cultivation level was not enough, he was relatively experienced.
Han Muye was really a rookie.
What Zhao Pu valued was Han Muye’s talent in comprehension and unparalleled alchemy.
Battle, this should be considered a non-combatant.
“Hum—”
Green bull shadows appeared behind Zhao Pu.
Just like Han Muye, before he found the path of the Nine Bulls Fusion, he did not cultivate the follow-up of the Iron Bull Strength.
“I’ve read the ancient books in the sect. Among the body-tempering cultivation techniques, those who can condense the strength of nine bulls should not be low-level.
“According to those ancient books, there were cultivators from the Central Continent who came to the Western Frontier and prepared to establish a sect. For some reason, they chose to leave.”
Han Muye had already found many of Zhao Pu’s secrets in the library.
He was a direct disciple and was qualified to read books there.
There was also a lot of information about the Western Frontier in the small village.
The spiritual land was used to nurture the top elite disciples of the sect, so this information was naturally indispensable.
According to Zhao Pu, Han Muye and Lin Shen added a few words from time to time.
Fortunately, the three of them cultivated body tempering techniques and had a common language.
The more they discussed, the stranger Zhao Pu felt.
Han Muye was blessed with enlightenment. Many cultivation theories were easy to understand. He couldn’t be envious.
But since when did Junior Brother Lin have an incomparably deep understanding of body refinement cultivation?
Of course, he did not know that Lin Shen had fused with the jade bones of a great cultivator. The jade bones were the pinnacle of physical cultivation.
Understanding his jade bones was the process of cultivating his body.
Experiencing it firsthand was more practical than any theory.
“I really didn’t expect Junior Brother Lin to have such a deep understanding of body refinement cultivation.”
Looking at Lin Shen, Zhao Pu said with a complicated expression, “It seems that Senior Brother Chongxiao was right to ask you to train the swords. Your perception is also superb.”
The corners of Lin Shen’s eyes twitched. He turned to look at Han Muye. In the end, he didn’t tell Zhao Pu that he had already fused with a great cultivator’s jade bones.
After all, this news would be a little shocking.
The three of them took the flying boat and crossed tens of thousands of miles in 10 days. They headed east until they reached a lush mountain range.
“This is the Green Wheat Mountain.”
Stepping out of the flying boat and standing at the bow, Zhao Pu pointed at the tall peak ahead, the continuous mountain range.
“The Central Continent is beyond the mountains.”
Zhao Pu raised his hand and pointed at the shining spiritual light in the sky. He said in a low voice, “That’s the Heaven and Earth Barrier.”
The Heaven and Earth Barrier isolated the four regions.
The Central Continent was a cultivation resource. The cultivation world was far stronger than the four regions.
Not only could the Heaven and Earth Barrier protect the spiritual energy of the Central Continent, but it also indirectly protected the four regions.
If the Central Continent’s forces crossed this barrier and expanded to the four regions, it would really be a nightmare for the cultivation world of the four regions.
“It’s said that one has to reach the Core Formation realm to pass through this Heaven and Earth Barrier.”
Lin Shen’s gaze landed on the stream of light and he spoke in a low voice.
In fact, not only Earth Realm Core Formation cultivators or powerhouses who had comprehended concepts, but there were also people who could enter with the entry tokens distributed by the large factions in the Central Continent.
Han Muye had a token in his hand.
It was the Patriarch of the Mu family who had handed it to him and promised to make a trip to the Central Continent 10 years later.
Looking at the colorful sky, Han Muye shook his head and said, “The Central Continent. If you have the chance, go there. Let’s go to the mystic realm first.”
Zhao Pu laughed and said, “Brother Han is really ambitious. There are only one in a million cultivators in the Western Frontier who have been to the Central Continent.”
To enter the Central Continent, one had to reach the Core Formation realm first.
There were countless cultivators in the world. Among thousands of people, it was rare for one to reach the Core Formation realm.
The three of them did not stay in the sky. They flew down and stepped into the forest.
This mountain range was lush, and the trees were tall. When they landed on the branches, Han Muye’s body was as light as a swallow.
“Hum—”
A jade plate spun in Zhao Pu’s hand and emitted a faint green light as it flew in a direction.
“Let’s go.”
Zhao Pu spoke and stepped onto the top of the tree, covering a distance of 50 to 60 feet with each step.
Han Muye followed him, turning into smoke.
Lin Shen carried his sword on his back and straightened his body. He took a step forward and landed 10 feet behind Han Muye.
He was the Sword Guardian of the Sword Pavilion and had the responsibility of protecting Han Muye, the successor of the Sword Pavilion.
Moreover, both he and Lu Gao would stand in front of Han Muye without hesitation when he was in danger.
In front, Zhao Pu turned around slightly and looked back. Then he did not stop. He chased after the jade plate and ran quickly.
After traveling for several hours, Zhao Pu stopped.
He reached out and grabbed the jade plate, his gaze on the rocky ground ahead.
On the gray stone wall, an ape-like demon beast stuck its head out.
Its fangs were half a foot long and it had strong legs. It jumped up from the stone wall and stood on the mountain rock. Its eyes were cold as it looked at Zhao Pu, Han Muye, and the others.
Zhao Pu looked at the demon beast and did not attack. Instead, he said, “It’s a Cold Wood Ape, a common demon beast in Green Wheat Mountain.
“It’s fast and powerful.
“This demon beast is also a spiritual creature of the earth and wood lineages. It can control the power of earth and stone.”
Zhao Pu raised his hand and pointed at the tall stone wall in front of him. He said in a low voice, “This stone wall is actually this guy’s weapon. It can use it at will.”
With that, he looked at Han Muye. “Brother Han, this demon beast has the power to condense qi. Do you want to give it a try?”
He had never seen Han Muye make a move before. This time, he could take a look at him and have a good idea of Han Muye’s combat strength.
“Let me do it.”
Before Han Muye could speak, Lin Shen spoke.
Zhao Pu nodded.
Lin Shen strode forward and stood under the cliff.
When the Cold Wood Ape saw him walking forward, it bared its teeth and let out a strange cry, as if it was threatening him.
“Click—”
When Lin Shen walked to the rocks at the bottom of the cliff, the Cold Wood Ape could not help but fly down and claw at Lin Shen’s head.
As expected, it was extremely fast. Its long claws whizzed and flickered.
Lin Shen stood where he was and looked up, but his hand did not draw his sword.
That made Zhao Pu frown.
As a sword cultivator, he was too careless to not hold his sword before the enemy.
Even if Lin Shen’s cultivation was higher than this Cold Wood Ape, he couldn’t underestimate it like this.
Zhao Pu gently raised his hand, and a palm-sized round iron block appeared in his palm.
However, before he could attack, Lin Shen had already moved.
“Ho—”
Lin Shen shouted in a low voice. His figure suddenly rose. Without even drawing his sword, he flew towards the Cold Wood Ape immediately.
His speed was even faster than the Cold Wood Ape!
“Bam—”
Only when his body rushed into the air did the ground explode.
Countless rocks scattered.
In midair, Lin Shen punched the Cold Wood Ape’s forearm. Then, with a crack, the Cold Wood Ape screamed and fell off the cliff.
Lin Shen chased after it and stepped on its head before it could get up.
“Clack.”
The demon beast’s head sank into the gravel.
…
As they continued forward, a strange expression appeared on Zhao Pu’s face.
“Junior Brother Lin, it seems like your cultivation has really improved…”
Zhao Pu couldn’t help but speak in a low voice when he recalled the scene of Lin Shen dealing with the Cold Wood Ape.
“Still too weak.”
Lin Shen shook his head, a trace of helplessness flashing across his face.
Zhao Pu felt that Junior Brother Lin was not honest and was actually being humble.
He didn’t know that Lin Shen was really just expressing his feelings.
What Lin Shen could use now was less than one hundredth of the Jade Bones.
Really, he was too weak.
“Someone’s here.”
In front of him, Zhao Pu muttered as he suppressed his aura to the limit.
In the wild, only a fool would activate his aura without holding back.
