Chapter 109: Cutting the cultivation channel of Nanzhou

Upon arriving at the location, the two Virtual Realm experts searched back and forth twice but found nothing of importance. “What? Where’s Well of Prenatal Qi?”

When a Well of Prenatal Qi burst open, there should be Prenatal Qi spilling outward. Very strange.

“Elder Jinzhe, were we wrong?”

“It should be right here in the mountain, but why isn’t there a response?”

Jinzhe adjusted his compass.

He should be directly in the position of the Well of Prenatal Qi, but there was nothing there. Jinzhe felt a little anxious.

“Is it possible that the Virtual Realm of Nanzhou had eliminated the body of the devil?”

The grand elders, including Jinzhe, all knew that Li Mu had something to do with eliminating the bodies of devils.

When the first Virtual Realm expert appeared in Nanzhou, he or she would definitely destroy the devil’s body to restore the Prenatal Qi in Nanzhou.

Jinzhe looked up and said, “He is too powerful then.”

“Since he can eliminate the devil’s remains, he is sure to be an expert.”

“No, this Virtual Realm expert comprehends the rule of thunder and lightning, which just restrains the devil,” Jinzhe said.

Besides, the devil’s body could be destroyed.

It was placed here to cut the cultivation channel of Nanzhou and act as a secret weapon when dealing with the other states.

The devil’s body was useful in Nanzhou. After they had unified Zhongzhou, they would go on to take down Dongzhou and Beizhou. By then, the devil could reappear again.

They could eliminate the devils’ bodies but the bodies could be kept for some other uses.

Now with two bodies destroyed, there were still two others left Nanzhou.

Back then, the grand ancestor was wise enough to take two of the bodies away.

If all four bodies had been destroyed, how would they ever find another one? How could they have implemented their plans?

The Virtual Realm expert on the side wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It seemed that he had learned too many secrets today.

“Aren’t there three more Well of Prenatal Qi? Should we search these places again?”

“The Prenatal Qi of Nanzhou was stored in five mountains, two peaks, and two rivers, to be exact. There are eight other places.”

“Back then, the grand ancestor used cyan darksteel chain to focus all the Prenatal Qi of Nanzhou in four places. Then he used formations to transfer the Prenatal Qi back to our place.”

Elder Jinzhe explained the situation while holding the compass in his hand. This was something that the younger generations should know.

“What?”

“Do you think we are contemptible?” Elder Jinzhe put away the compass and asked rhetorically.

“Yes!”

“You’re too ignorant. Do you know why Xizhou is a desert?”

“Why?”

“The grand ancestor will tell you when this is over. You only need to keep in mind that we are forced to do these things.” After saying this, Jinzhe stood up and flew away.

Since they couldn’t find the Well of Prenatal Qi, he guessed that it must be covered up by the Virtual Realm of Nanzhou. He needed a higher cultivation level.

If they broke the formation here and disturbed that Virtual Realm, their plans would definitely be affected. Although they failed in this well, they still got another one, right?

“Elder, what about experts of Nanzhou that were captured by us?”

“Take them with us!”

Half a day later, the two appeared over the palace of the State of Great Xia.

“Be careful, there are signals of sword qi in the palace. Don’t try to fight or kill anyone in the palace,” Jinzhe said.

Then he moved with a flash and appeared in front of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

“Interesting! No resources are wasted. No wonder all the Prenatal Qi in such a big Well only benefitted the people in the State of Great Xia.”

There were experts sitting both inside and outside the palace.

Using their breath control, they absorbed the Prenatal Qi.

The Prenatal Qi that overflowed from them was absorbed by the medicinal herbs next to them.

Those that spilled out of the palace were then absorbed by the Imperial Capital.

And there, it was densely filled by cultivators both inside and outside the palace.

The two entered the palace quietly and saw many cavern residences.

Cultivators willed both inside and outside of the cavern residences too.

They scratched their heads and jumped into the Well of Prenatal Qi.

“Elder Jinzhe, look at the wall, there are words written on it. Are they left by that Virtual Realm expert?”

Jinzhe turned his head and saw that there were indeed some words on the wall of the well.

It seemed that the words were left a few years ago and many words were lost when the well wall fell.

“Seems so. There was a devil locked in the well. Except for him, who else could it be?”

After staring at the words for a while, Jinzhe’s expression got serious.

“The expert of Nanzhou is from the palace of the State of the Great Xia?”

“Is he bluffing?”

“Doesn’t seem so.”

“Then should we do something to this place? Maybe it’s easier to disturb him if we do this.”

“Of course, we should! But not us, it’s people from Muguang Mountain. According to our plan earlier, the people you invited should go now,” Elder Jinzhe said.

Then they came out of the Well of Prenatal Qi and went back to the surface.

When all this was over, they needed to inform the grand ancestor of the existence of this Virtual Realm expert.

…

In Luoshen River, Li Mu checked in again.

“Ding, congratulations to the host for a successful check-in. Phoenix Blood Sword acquired.”

“Sure enough… Better and better rewards. Phoenix Blood Sword… there isn’t a better sword than that for me.”

This sword was made by a legendary man, Gu Mutian. He refined a seven-colored ancient crystal in order to craft this sword. He infused it with phoenix blood essence too. It could automatically absorb Qi from the world.

When the sword was used, thunder and lightning came along with it.

Li Mu comprehended the rule of lightning. With this sword, he could perform 30% better.

Of course, what Li Mu wanted most were the Purple and Cyan Twin Swords and God-killing Sword.

Li Mu waved the sword and felt the air trembling with his actions.

“Good! A good sword!” Li Mu couldn’t help but shout.

This sword had once belonged to Goddess Snow, and it was truly an extraordinary weapon!

Li Mu tried it a few times to get used to swinging it. He felt that he and the sword had become one.

After having fun with it for some time, he put the sword away and jumped into Luoshen River to swim downstream and continue his search.

This time, Li Mu searched more carefully. Phoenix Blood Sword was a treasure.

Since he was rewarded with such a thing, it indicated that he was getting closer to the devil’s body.

On the way downstream, he saw farmland on both sides of the Luoshen River.

On the hills in the distance, there were some graves. Li Mu carefully walked up the mud towards the location.

…

Three people appeared at the palace. Along with Jinzhe were two other experts of Nanzhou. One of them was a Medium Level Supreme Person and another was Upper Level.

“Do as I say, and you will also get pills to increase your cultivation. These pills are enough to raise you to half-step Virtual Realm. By then, you will be more powerful than many other people in the world.”

These two were among the experts that Jinzhe found.

After Jinzhe found them, he made sure whether they were willing to work for his Sacred Ground.

Then Jinzhe improved their cultivation with Cultivation-raising pills to raise their cultivation within a short time. Jinzhe did this for two reasons. First, he could have more powerful experts. Second, this was a reward for these experts for working for him.

But their cultivation would drop after one month and go back to normal after half a year.

Nevertheless, they could never break through again since their potential was already fully realized.

Even in Qianyuan Sacred Ground, this kind of pill was forbidden to be used. Only the death squad could use them.

Anyway, Jinzhe only needed these experts for a short time.

“There is an expert with a cultivation of Level three Perfected Person there, you guys be careful,” Jinzhe warned.

“Don’t worry, Elder Jinzhe. Just keep your promise to us after this job is done.”

The two experts took their leave and headed into the underground palace.

Silently, they entered the Well of Prenatal Qi and linked the sixteen chains together.

They took the jade token and injected true qi into it.

Bathed in bright light, the sixteen chains healed as if they were alive and linked to the jade token.

At the same time, the grey part of the golden lotus in the forbidden places of Qianyuan Sacred Ground was gradually replaced by gold color again.

“One done! Thank god!”

The long-browed old man was so happy that he shed tears.
